Hi Derrick. The definition of a connected component on the following page is incorrect: Connected_component_(graph_theory). It states: "In graph theory, a connected component of an undirected graph is a subgraph in which any two vertices are connected to each other by paths, and to which no more vertices or edges can be added while preserving its connectivity." However, "or edges" part of that sentence needs to be removed, as it is not true. Edges can be added to a connected component, while preserving its connectivity. See the NIST definition that you referred to: [3] which says: "such that no vertex of D can be added to S and it still be strongly connected". It does not say that edges cannot be added. Connected components of an undirected graph are not necessarily complete subgraphs; therefore edges can be added between nodes of the graph without threatening its status as a connected component. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.15.64.187 ( talk) 21:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Derrick. I know you're a busy fellow, but I'm wondering if you would mind watchlisting User:Pohick2. He is currently indefinitely blocked for copyright infringements (see ANI thread). He has yet to indicate even a desire to be unblocked, but since he may (he has certainly been a dedicated contributor) it would be good to have an experienced copyright admin who can work with him. There have been several conversations with him in the past, but the most extensive I've had is at User talk:Pohick2/Archive/#Copyright concerns and subsequent, in case you're wondering what ground has already been covered. I think that having a fresh person to talk to might be beneficial should he decide to consider resuming his account.

You rearranged sections in arithmetic coding. Do you understand that first part is not clear for anyone who try to become familiar with the subject. It does not matter if it is right or wrong, it does not explain anything. The explanation that arithmetic coding narrows interval on every step is right or meaningless. People need to understand where compression comes from. Why narrowing down interval leads to shorter message? Why this shorter message is shortest possible? And how to restore message back from final interval? Besides that, first section does not mention that compression occur by choosing shortest fraction from final interval and not from narrowing down the interval itself. I wrote that sections that you moved down. I actually don't care if you remove them or not because I explained everything on my web site, which shown by Google on the first page even before wiki. Did you write your own arithmetic coder ever? I wrote several coders in open source that are used by people. If you want to arithmetic coding via narrowing interval starting from [0,1) that is fine, but explain how to encode, decode, explain why it is numerically stable and converge and what is the limit to which it converges. It takes two pages of printed text to explain this and reader needs to know high school math to understand it but it requires high level on understanding to be able to explain it. C-processor ( talk) 08:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
If it is your explanation on the top part of arithmetic coding section I can tell you that even Claude Shannon would not understand it in 1948 if he read it. It may be correct but useless. You know the joke how two guys got lost at see on the boat and met another boat with fisherman. They asked "where are we" and got the answer "you are in the boat". They decided that fisherman was mathematician because the answer was precise but useless, so this is upper part of the article. You can make the whole article useless by removing my section and will have more readers on my site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by C-processor ( talk • contribs) 08:45, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Hmm - the diagram you minimised in Continuous-repayment_mortgage is fairly important in respect of illustrating the characteristic curve of a CRM. But having the diagram and all relevant text viewable at the same time does enhance readability. And of course readers can always click to enlarge the thumbnail.
Any further comments/suggestions you may have would be appreciated - I am trying to deal with another editor's comment about the article being too technical for most readers. Actually IMHO it is not - it is not beyond the level of first year university Maths and there are far more mathematically challenging articles elsewhere on Wikipedia. All the same I'm sure the article would benefit from a rigorous mathematical critique.
Neil Parker ( talk) 16:23, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
The CRM balance function can be obtained either by:
1) Using limit theory - see Continuous-repayment_mortgage#Derivation_of_time-continuous_equation.
2) Integration of cash flow elements. Briefly mentioned in the introduction
3) Solution of differential equation
I would have thought the first mentioned does more or less what you suggest above. The only slightly advanced concept (ie possibly beyond high school level) mentioned here is the very same limit that is used in determination of the formula for continuous compounding. Perhaps what is needed is an online reference to a derivation of that limit similar to the one given in "Algebra and Trigonometry" (Munem and Foulis) which I have specifically included as an inline reference. Thanks for the feedback all the same.

Hi there Dcoetzee! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.
On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.
Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.
Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

Hi. :) There is a conversation at my talk page concerning multiple images on Wikipdia and Commons where the uploaders asserts that he purchased the images and their rights from an estate, but no verification is provided.

Hi, Derrick. :) Although I really don't have time, I'm drawing together an essay about copyright in lists: User:Moonriddengirl/Copyright in lists. Before publishing it, I'd really like to get some feedback on it, and, as you know, I highly value yours. :) If you have time and inclination, would you mind reading through? I'm hoping to provide some clear and useful guidance on a subject that is often discussed, but not widely understood. You are welcome to edit it directly or to leave comments at the talk page. I think it particularly could use some work at the last section ("What copyrighted selection/arrangement mean for Wikipedia"), but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to say or how to approach it.
And I'm not dumping this only on you, so if you don't have time or inclination, you should not feel bad. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:06, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello Derrick, let me introduce myself, I am David, a student of Art History in Portugal. We (at my university) are planning to create a project that would store high-quality images of paintings, books and other works of art in digital format. The goal would not only be to store human art/culture for preservation, but also to make it available online. That "digital library" would then be available to anyone, in particular students, to facilitate analysis of the works. This is where we would like to request your help, you see, at first we plan to collect material already in digital form, and we are planning to use Google Art Project as one of the initial sources, the problem is that we can't really get decent pictures from there... I noticed you uploaded some paintings from there into wikipedia, so I was wondering if you could provide us with the tools or knowledge you used, if you are OK to share that... Hope you can help. Cheers, David Salvador. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.80.234.247 ( talk) 20:19, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I've recently made an edit simplifying the inplace version of the quicksort algorithm. It basically always uses the last element as the partitioning pivot. I think that's clearer and also more consistent with standard implementations in textbooks. The problems is that the image ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Partition_example.svg) no longer matches. I even tried to make a new one on Gimp, but I'm not sure how to upload it. Could you make a new image (eliminating the first step) and fix this? Thiagohirai ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:55, 10 March 2011 (UTC).

Hi Derrick. The definition of a connected component on the following page is incorrect: Connected_component_(graph_theory). It states: "In graph theory, a connected component of an undirected graph is a subgraph in which any two vertices are connected to each other by paths, and to which no more vertices or edges can be added while preserving its connectivity." However, "or edges" part of that sentence needs to be removed, as it is not true. Edges can be added to a connected component, while preserving its connectivity. See the NIST definition that you referred to: [3] which says: "such that no vertex of D can be added to S and it still be strongly connected". It does not say that edges cannot be added. Connected components of an undirected graph are not necessarily complete subgraphs; therefore edges can be added between nodes of the graph without threatening its status as a connected component. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.15.64.187 ( talk) 21:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Derrick. I know you're a busy fellow, but I'm wondering if you would mind watchlisting User:Pohick2. He is currently indefinitely blocked for copyright infringements (see ANI thread). He has yet to indicate even a desire to be unblocked, but since he may (he has certainly been a dedicated contributor) it would be good to have an experienced copyright admin who can work with him. There have been several conversations with him in the past, but the most extensive I've had is at User talk:Pohick2/Archive/#Copyright concerns and subsequent, in case you're wondering what ground has already been covered. I think that having a fresh person to talk to might be beneficial should he decide to consider resuming his account.

He has now uploaded File:Taha Hussain.jpg, and requests that we delete it once we are satisfied. Since images are way more your thing, would you mind taking a look? Should that alleviate my concerns about that image? It doesn't have metadata, but looks plausible. Your input would be appreciated. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:08, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

You rearranged sections in arithmetic coding. Do you understand that first part is not clear for anyone who try to become familiar with the subject. It does not matter if it is right or wrong, it does not explain anything. The explanation that arithmetic coding narrows interval on every step is right or meaningless. People need to understand where compression comes from. Why narrowing down interval leads to shorter message? Why this shorter message is shortest possible? And how to restore message back from final interval? Besides that, first section does not mention that compression occur by choosing shortest fraction from final interval and not from narrowing down the interval itself. I wrote that sections that you moved down. I actually don't care if you remove them or not because I explained everything on my web site, which shown by Google on the first page even before wiki. Did you write your own arithmetic coder ever? I wrote several coders in open source that are used by people. If you want to arithmetic coding via narrowing interval starting from [0,1) that is fine, but explain how to encode, decode, explain why it is numerically stable and converge and what is the limit to which it converges. It takes two pages of printed text to explain this and reader needs to know high school math to understand it but it requires high level on understanding to be able to explain it. C-processor ( talk) 08:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
If it is your explanation on the top part of arithmetic coding section I can tell you that even Claude Shannon would not understand it in 1948 if he read it. It may be correct but useless. You know the joke how two guys got lost at see on the boat and met another boat with fisherman. They asked "where are we" and got the answer "you are in the boat". They decided that fisherman was mathematician because the answer was precise but useless, so this is upper part of the article. You can make the whole article useless by removing my section and will have more readers on my site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by C-processor ( talk • contribs) 08:45, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Hmm - the diagram you minimised in Continuous-repayment_mortgage is fairly important in respect of illustrating the characteristic curve of a CRM. But having the diagram and all relevant text viewable at the same time does enhance readability. And of course readers can always click to enlarge the thumbnail.
Any further comments/suggestions you may have would be appreciated - I am trying to deal with another editor's comment about the article being too technical for most readers. Actually IMHO it is not - it is not beyond the level of first year university Maths and there are far more mathematically challenging articles elsewhere on Wikipedia. All the same I'm sure the article would benefit from a rigorous mathematical critique.
Neil Parker ( talk) 16:23, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
The CRM balance function can be obtained either by:
1) Using limit theory - see Continuous-repayment_mortgage#Derivation_of_time-continuous_equation.
2) Integration of cash flow elements. Briefly mentioned in the introduction
3) Solution of differential equation
I would have thought the first mentioned does more or less what you suggest above. The only slightly advanced concept (ie possibly beyond high school level) mentioned here is the very same limit that is used in determination of the formula for continuous compounding. Perhaps what is needed is an online reference to a derivation of that limit similar to the one given in "Algebra and Trigonometry" (Munem and Foulis) which I have specifically included as an inline reference. Thanks for the feedback all the same.

Hi there Dcoetzee! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.
On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.
Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.
Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

Greetings! Please excuse this intrusion on your talk page, and allow me to invite you to participate in the newly-formed Wikipedia Contribution Team ( WP:CONTRIB for short)! The goal of the team is to attract more and better contributions to the English Wikipedia, as well as to help support the fundraising team in our financial and editing contribution goals. We have lots of stuff to work on, from minor and major page building, to WikiProject outreach, article improvement, donor relations, and more—in fact, part of our mission is to empower team members to make their own projects to support our mission. Some of our projects only take a few minutes to work on, while others can be large, multi-person tasks—whatever your interest level, we're glad to have you.
If this sounds interesting, please visit WP:CONTRIB and sign onto the team. Even if there does not appear to be anything that really speaks out as being work you'd like to do, I'd encourage you to join and follow the project anyway, as the type of work we'll be doing will certainly evolve and change over time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, or ask on the team talk page. Regards, ⇒ DanRosenthal Wikipedia Contribution Team 22:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi. :) There's a question at CP that could use your attention, if you have time: Is a "Root key" protected by copyright?. I seem to recall having discussed this before, but a scan of "root key" + copyright in Wikipedia and user talk space was not helpful. :/ Could you please weigh in there? TYIA. :D -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:40, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi. :) There's a question at my talk page from a previously blocked infringer who is trying to remain within policy. He has uploaded some national flags to Commons, and these have been marked for deletion. I'm unsure if there are special provisions for flags and, if so, to which project they apply, but I thought you might know. Any chance you could weigh in at User_talk:Moonriddengirl#Help_Please? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:01, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Have you done anything to verify that planarity (as hosted by planarity.net) does not contain a virus? I tested it on 3 computers at my school's library all of which after a short time had a fake anti-spyware program pop up along with a bunch of additional weirdness. There are other possibilities as to what the source of the virus could be, but in light of the testing I have done, are you sure you feel confident about reverting that article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.0.154 ( talk) 08:41, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Simple cycle graph.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

I just wanted to let you know that as a mentor, I am particularly interested in taking on students covering the topics of Environmental Law/Policy. Feel free to direct some of them to me. – VisionHolder « talk » 03:29, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi. :) There is a conversation at my talk page concerning multiple images on Wikipdia and Commons where the uploaders asserts that he purchased the images and their rights from an estate, but no verification is provided. When I believed this was a single-image issue, I simply tagged the image for {{ npd}} and notified the contributor of the need to verify this, but the contributor is not often active, and it has expanded. I wanted to get some feedback from you about how you felt this could best be approached. If you don't mind, would you weigh in at my talk page about it? If you're busy or have no opinion, please just let me know here and I'll bug somebody else. Thanks. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:02, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Actually, it's only their online version, but nice achievement ;). And amazing work too :) -- Luk talk 09:47, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Derrick. :) Although I really don't have time, I'm drawing together an essay about copyright in lists: User:Moonriddengirl/Copyright in lists. Before publishing it, I'd really like to get some feedback on it, and, as you know, I highly value yours. :) If you have time and inclination, would you mind reading through? I'm hoping to provide some clear and useful guidance on a subject that is often discussed, but not widely understood. You are welcome to edit it directly or to leave comments at the talk page. I think it particularly could use some work at the last section ("What copyrighted selection/arrangement mean for Wikipedia"), but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to say or how to approach it.
And I'm not dumping this only on you, so if you don't have time or inclination, you should not feel bad. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:06, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Derrick, Thanks for letting me know, I've signed up and look forward to hearing more through the list. Kaushik Iyer ( talk) 02:27, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello Derrick, let me introduce myself, I am David, a student of Art History in Portugal. We (at my university) are planning to create a project that would store high-quality images of paintings, books and other works of art in digital format. The goal would not only be to store human art/culture for preservation, but also to make it available online. That "digital library" would then be available to anyone, in particular students, to facilitate analysis of the works. This is where we would like to request your help, you see, at first we plan to collect material already in digital form, and we are planning to use Google Art Project as one of the initial sources, the problem is that we can't really get decent pictures from there... I noticed you uploaded some paintings from there into wikipedia, so I was wondering if you could provide us with the tools or knowledge you used, if you are OK to share that... Hope you can help. Cheers, David Salvador. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.80.234.247 ( talk) 20:19, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I just tried your wonderful tool to see if a full CCI would be needed to handle some contributions and it's telling me "The MySQL server is running with the --read-only option so it cannot execute this statement". Any chance you know what's up with that? VernoWhitney ( talk) 15:02, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi! I've recently made an edit simplifying the inplace version of the quicksort algorithm. It basically always uses the last element as the partitioning pivot. I think that's clearer and also more consistent with standard implementations in textbooks. The problems is that the image ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Partition_example.svg) no longer matches. I even tried to make a new one on Gimp, but I'm not sure how to upload it. Could you make a new image (eliminating the first step) and fix this? Thiagohirai ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:55, 10 March 2011 (UTC).
