Hi Vanjagenije, As you know, there are a huge number of letters and symbols used by mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. There is a page called List of letters used in mathematics and science, as you mentioned. However, it doesn't include a significant number of engineering letters. As I open any textbook on mechanics of materials, electric machinery, etc, many of them start with a list of symbols used in that book. Sometimes, that list may be a couple pages long.
If someone is a mathematician or scientist, they don't need those symbols. If someone is an civil, electrical, or mechanical engineer, they do. The reason I started the page on engineering is because the letters I needed weren't on the list of science and mathematics. If you believe that we should include all of them on one article, we should probably change the title to 'List of letters used in science, mathematics and engineering'. However, I expect that it will then become very large. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Re34646 ( talk • contribs) 14:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello
I understand there is a notice on the wikipedia regarding discussions about possible deletion of an article which was created.
Please can you clarify exactly what is needed as I am new to this and have just finished one of the editing session where I have added additional references?
Thank you

Hello! I saw you're the admin that patrolled my pages, that are now without any photo, for questions of copyright. The website from I took the photos is the one of the monastery in which I pratice. Right now, They let with a Common License use their photos http://www.monasterozen.it/it/monastero-zen-senbo-ji.html So, how I can let unlock them from Wikicommons?

Hi Vanjagenije. I've been editing in Wikipedia for sometime now, but there's something I'm not sure of, and like to consult with you. There are pages that require some kind of a cleanup, and I'd like to contribute by editing them. I'd like to know what should I do once I finish? Should I remove the tag with the request on the page? is there anyway to "call" an admin and request his/her review? For example, I'd like to edit the Special Olympics' page, since it has a tag saying there are bare URL's in it. Once I finish, should I delete this tag? Thanks in advance ShapLisa ( talk) 10:13, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Vanjagenije
About Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Foster (journalist), I agree that that's probably a copyvio and will have to go. But I'm wondering whether AfD is the proper forum. I for one don't have a lot of expertise in copyright matters, and I'm wondering whether that should be listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems instead of AfD? Basically I'm asking whether you should withdraw that nomination before non-experts like myself start !voting. Thanks. – Margin1522 ( talk) 21:09, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I vote to keep "Bad Call" It is a simple concept, except to those who are unfamiliar with it. Wikipedia users who hear or read "bad call" and are unfamiliar with it will be served by the Wikipedia examples and definition. The definition of "bad call" is neutral and should stay neutral. I do agree that "examples of bad calls" might be a problem, but will get Wikipedia more views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simplifyonly ( talk • contribs) 10:32, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Sorry for trying to talk to you here. I didn't think it appropriate to comment directly to you on the talk page, so I went here. I am somewhat aware that Wikipedia has developed policies about articles, but think this could be a great entry. "Bad call" should be a dictionary term, but if you look for it in other dictionaries you'll be disappointed; same with compilations of sports slang. While at the same time, "bad call," the term, had over 500,000 hits on Google. I just would like your help on getting a consensus on keeping the term.
Perhaps you could add to it. I know you would do so to the benefit of Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simplifyonly ( talk • contribs) 22:18, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

23:44, 2 February 2015 (UTC)Hello, I am almost newbie to wikipedia and performed some days ago my first French page for Koenig organ builder. I was then supported by a French experienced user too. So, thank you for your help, I appreciate experienced support.
I just wanted to give a short translation of it toward English and I thought it was correct with the boxes I have made.
Of course there are no link (yet ...) to any English speaking pages so far and I will try to put back the references ASAP, but they are in French. let me know, if you think I should do something else ?

Thanks for taking the time to review my submission. My original intention was to improve a couple of other articles on Wikipedia namely
Kenyon Taylor and
Ferranti For such a prolific inventor, the Taylor account is somewhat sparse and the Ferranti article needs much improvement. Whilst researching these, Albert Hall grabbed my attention and although I had no intention on writing anything on him, after reading dozens of Ferranti related patents I started to realise that he was a key person in the Ferranti story. I wrote the article because it seemed to me to be the bit of the jigsaw that pulls the other articles together. It’s difficult for me to argue the notability case because his untimely demise meant he was only ever going to get a cursory mention in Ferranti and the British Electrical Industry The
National Shell Filling Factory, Chilwell article doesn't mention Hall and his relationship with Lord Chetwynd, but in my humble opinion could be improved if it was linked to him. Would it be possible to consider a case for including him in Wikipedia and see how he meshes with the other three articles? If later consensus on the talk page concludes he shouldn’t be there, then he could be removed.
By the way, I don't have any personal feelings about this I joined Wikipedia to contribute and help and I am open to further suggestions.

Hey,
I saw that you've been making a number of edits to the SPI page and I appreciate your eagerness to help! :) I just wanted to leave a message with a few notes for you. In regards to renaming a case, unfortunately there is not a script to perform it. Depending on the case, you may need the assistance of an admin. Further instructions can be found here. While I appreciate your enthusiasm to tackle the backlog, I want to make sure that you take the time to review the cases properly. There's a few cases I noted that could use some improvement before they proceed. For instance the Wedensambo and Instalok cases have little to no diffs on the page. It might be helpful to provide additional supporting diffs to help the checkusers evaluate the request. Even in what may be "duck" cases, not everyone is familiar with the accounts so establishing this link is important. Also, in the Liquad_squad case, it seems that it's a very straightforward case as you've mentioned. Given that there's no history of sockpuppetry, and that the two accounts have a very similar name and no other account like it has edited the page, this can probably be closed with a block to the sock and a warning to the master account. I've also placed the Milos zankov case on hold. While the IPs may not be related, the accounts are in the same geographical area and there was behavioral evidence presented. In these cases, it's best to look for additional evidence that could support the claims. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it soon enough. SPI is just one of the areas where you may need to do a little digging. :) Mike V • Talk 00:31, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Vanjagenije - I notice that you keep using the Self-endorsed by clerk for checkuser attention icon at SPI. This icon means that you are endorsing a case for CU that you yourself have initiated, which does not appear to be the case with the SPIs I've seen. Do you have a specific clerk who is mentoring you? --

Hi Vanjagenije, you're active on sock investigations so I'm letting you know I accidentally created a sock. I wanted to figure out SUL and created an account for English wiki by mistake. The SUL page to unify the accounts didn't like my English wiki login password. Real account is User:Aronzak. Tell me if this is a major issue and if SOCK means you need to delete this account. Sorry to bug you. Aronzakcommons ( talk) 02:42, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Vajagenije, thanks for your comment. It was pretty frustrating, I had all the diffs and the link to discussion ready, posted it all as told by the directions at the sockpuppeting investigations page, and it went astray, got lost, I do not know what happened, so the post linked on the title is what I got, along with confusion about the suspect editor's name. Is there any way I can add the diffs faster, not one by one? The whole issue is getting annoying. Thank you Iñaki LL ( talk) 08:14, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
@ Iñaki LL and Carlstak: Please stop. First of all, there is no obligation to inform users about SPI against them. So, Iñaki LL, you did not need to inform Carlstak. Carlstak, what do you want to say? That Wikipedia editors leave the project because other editors are allowed to accuse them? Well, that is basic democracy, you know. Anybody has right to accuse you. If you think that is a reason to leave, it's your choice, but don't blame the system. WP:CHK cannot be employed on demand, nor is the negative result a guarantee that there is no sockpuppetry. WP:CHK is just a tool that helps us, but it's results are not binding. Anyway, you two need to stop arguing here on my talk page about each other. Iñaki LL, if you have any evidence, yes, add it now to the case page ( WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Carlstak). Vanjagenije (talk) 09:41, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

As one involved in SPIs, can you answer the following questions please.
1. If a checkuser spontaneously blocks a named account as a sock, with no SPI and no other discussion at all, should the blocked account be tagged as "confirmed" or as "suspected"?
2. Should a normal administrator (non-checkuser) blocking a named account ever tag it as "confirmed" when there has been no SPI and no checkuser involvement? 94.196.210.161 ( talk) 22:04, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Vanjagenije, As you know, there are a huge number of letters and symbols used by mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. There is a page called List of letters used in mathematics and science, as you mentioned. However, it doesn't include a significant number of engineering letters. As I open any textbook on mechanics of materials, electric machinery, etc, many of them start with a list of symbols used in that book. Sometimes, that list may be a couple pages long.
If someone is a mathematician or scientist, they don't need those symbols. If someone is an civil, electrical, or mechanical engineer, they do. The reason I started the page on engineering is because the letters I needed weren't on the list of science and mathematics. If you believe that we should include all of them on one article, we should probably change the title to 'List of letters used in science, mathematics and engineering'. However, I expect that it will then become very large. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Re34646 ( talk • contribs) 14:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Vanjagenije. I've been editing in Wikipedia for sometime now, but there's something I'm not sure of, and like to consult with you. There are pages that require some kind of a cleanup, and I'd like to contribute by editing them. I'd like to know what should I do once I finish? Should I remove the tag with the request on the page? is there anyway to "call" an admin and request his/her review? For example, I'd like to edit the Special Olympics' page, since it has a tag saying there are bare URL's in it. Once I finish, should I delete this tag? Thanks in advance ShapLisa ( talk) 10:13, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Vanjagenije
About Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Foster (journalist), I agree that that's probably a copyvio and will have to go. But I'm wondering whether AfD is the proper forum. I for one don't have a lot of expertise in copyright matters, and I'm wondering whether that should be listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems instead of AfD? Basically I'm asking whether you should withdraw that nomination before non-experts like myself start !voting. Thanks. – Margin1522 ( talk) 21:09, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I vote to keep "Bad Call" It is a simple concept, except to those who are unfamiliar with it. Wikipedia users who hear or read "bad call" and are unfamiliar with it will be served by the Wikipedia examples and definition. The definition of "bad call" is neutral and should stay neutral. I do agree that "examples of bad calls" might be a problem, but will get Wikipedia more views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simplifyonly ( talk • contribs) 10:32, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Sorry for trying to talk to you here. I didn't think it appropriate to comment directly to you on the talk page, so I went here. I am somewhat aware that Wikipedia has developed policies about articles, but think this could be a great entry. "Bad call" should be a dictionary term, but if you look for it in other dictionaries you'll be disappointed; same with compilations of sports slang. While at the same time, "bad call," the term, had over 500,000 hits on Google. I just would like your help on getting a consensus on keeping the term.
Perhaps you could add to it. I know you would do so to the benefit of Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simplifyonly ( talk • contribs) 22:18, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

23:44, 2 February 2015 (UTC)Hello, I am almost newbie to wikipedia and performed some days ago my first French page for Koenig organ builder. I was then supported by a French experienced user too. So, thank you for your help, I appreciate experienced support.
I just wanted to give a short translation of it toward English and I thought it was correct with the boxes I have made.
Of course there are no link (yet ...) to any English speaking pages so far and I will try to put back the references ASAP, but they are in French. let me know, if you think I should do something else ?

Thanks for taking the time to review my submission. My original intention was to improve a couple of other articles on Wikipedia namely
Kenyon Taylor and
Ferranti For such a prolific inventor, the Taylor account is somewhat sparse and the Ferranti article needs much improvement. Whilst researching these, Albert Hall grabbed my attention and although I had no intention on writing anything on him, after reading dozens of Ferranti related patents I started to realise that he was a key person in the Ferranti story. I wrote the article because it seemed to me to be the bit of the jigsaw that pulls the other articles together. It’s difficult for me to argue the notability case because his untimely demise meant he was only ever going to get a cursory mention in Ferranti and the British Electrical Industry The
National Shell Filling Factory, Chilwell article doesn't mention Hall and his relationship with Lord Chetwynd, but in my humble opinion could be improved if it was linked to him. Would it be possible to consider a case for including him in Wikipedia and see how he meshes with the other three articles? If later consensus on the talk page concludes he shouldn’t be there, then he could be removed.
By the way, I don't have any personal feelings about this I joined Wikipedia to contribute and help and I am open to further suggestions.

Hey,
I saw that you've been making a number of edits to the SPI page and I appreciate your eagerness to help! :) I just wanted to leave a message with a few notes for you. In regards to renaming a case, unfortunately there is not a script to perform it. Depending on the case, you may need the assistance of an admin. Further instructions can be found here. While I appreciate your enthusiasm to tackle the backlog, I want to make sure that you take the time to review the cases properly. There's a few cases I noted that could use some improvement before they proceed. For instance the Wedensambo and Instalok cases have little to no diffs on the page. It might be helpful to provide additional supporting diffs to help the checkusers evaluate the request. Even in what may be "duck" cases, not everyone is familiar with the accounts so establishing this link is important. Also, in the Liquad_squad case, it seems that it's a very straightforward case as you've mentioned. Given that there's no history of sockpuppetry, and that the two accounts have a very similar name and no other account like it has edited the page, this can probably be closed with a block to the sock and a warning to the master account. I've also placed the Milos zankov case on hold. While the IPs may not be related, the accounts are in the same geographical area and there was behavioral evidence presented. In these cases, it's best to look for additional evidence that could support the claims. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it soon enough. SPI is just one of the areas where you may need to do a little digging. :) Mike V • Talk 00:31, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Vanjagenije - I notice that you keep using the Self-endorsed by clerk for checkuser attention icon at SPI. This icon means that you are endorsing a case for CU that you yourself have initiated, which does not appear to be the case with the SPIs I've seen. Do you have a specific clerk who is mentoring you? --

Hi Vanjagenije, you're active on sock investigations so I'm letting you know I accidentally created a sock. I wanted to figure out SUL and created an account for English wiki by mistake. The SUL page to unify the accounts didn't like my English wiki login password. Real account is User:Aronzak. Tell me if this is a major issue and if SOCK means you need to delete this account. Sorry to bug you. Aronzakcommons ( talk) 02:42, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Vajagenije, thanks for your comment. It was pretty frustrating, I had all the diffs and the link to discussion ready, posted it all as told by the directions at the sockpuppeting investigations page, and it went astray, got lost, I do not know what happened, so the post linked on the title is what I got, along with confusion about the suspect editor's name. Is there any way I can add the diffs faster, not one by one? The whole issue is getting annoying. Thank you Iñaki LL ( talk) 08:14, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
@ Iñaki LL and Carlstak: Please stop. First of all, there is no obligation to inform users about SPI against them. So, Iñaki LL, you did not need to inform Carlstak. Carlstak, what do you want to say? That Wikipedia editors leave the project because other editors are allowed to accuse them? Well, that is basic democracy, you know. Anybody has right to accuse you. If you think that is a reason to leave, it's your choice, but don't blame the system. WP:CHK cannot be employed on demand, nor is the negative result a guarantee that there is no sockpuppetry. WP:CHK is just a tool that helps us, but it's results are not binding. Anyway, you two need to stop arguing here on my talk page about each other. Iñaki LL, if you have any evidence, yes, add it now to the case page ( WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Carlstak). Vanjagenije (talk) 09:41, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

As one involved in SPIs, can you answer the following questions please.
1. If a checkuser spontaneously blocks a named account as a sock, with no SPI and no other discussion at all, should the blocked account be tagged as "confirmed" or as "suspected"?
2. Should a normal administrator (non-checkuser) blocking a named account ever tag it as "confirmed" when there has been no SPI and no checkuser involvement? 94.196.210.161 ( talk) 22:04, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
