Godel's Universe

Thanks a lot for catching it. I actually thought I had linked it to "Constructible Universe" but apparently it didn't go through:) (Actually this is the second time I did this. The first time I didn't even think to link it. Hopefully this time it will stick;)). Aleph0 04:28, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

stub?

I really don't understand how you can consider Dorotea to be a stub. If you read Wikipedia:Stub, would you still consider it a stub?

Thank you however for telling me what stubs are for.

--Fred-Chess 00:11, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sorry if you feel antagonised by my repeated stub-tagging Fred; that's not my intention. I did read Wikipedia:Stub carefully before adding the tag again, because I didn't want to risk upsetting other people if I was going to be wrong. I agree that there is substantially more content in the article than many other stubs, but quoting from the said reference: stubs are about the length of 3 to 10 short sentences. I didn't count the number of sentences but glancing at the article at the time I felt it looked a bit thin and so probably qualified. Then the following clinched it: note that a longer article may be a stub if the topic is complex enough. I assumed at the time that any place/village/town/city must be full of history and interesting stories and therefore qualified as complex enough (in the words of the article). I admit this isn't necessarily true, and if there isn't any more to say about it (as you have asserted) then I agree that there's no point in marring the appearance of the article with the tag.

In general I would actually interpret the assertion there's nothing more to say as I don't know of anything else that could be said and therefore insist on the stub tag since there may be others who are able to add content. However in this case, the place in question is so small that anybody capable of contributing to the article is likely to be a resident anyway and would therefore come across the article quite naturally, without being attracted by the stub tag.

So we finally agree - my fault! Sorry if I offended you; I know you must have put a lot of effort in (you practically wrote the whole thing). The graphics look great by the way, nice work. Best wishes, reetep 09:22, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I want to let you know that I have seen your message, and that I have no problem with it. --Fred-Chess 17:55, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No wait, I want to make some comments. First of all, there is a Category:Sweden geography stubs which sort of gives some ideas of stubs of that kind. If you see any article of that length, mark it as a sweden-geo-stub (or just sweden-stub). There is, as you see, a great difference between 95% of the Sweden-geo-stub articles and an article of the size of Dorotea. I prefer to write 10 sentences or so (2-7 paragraphs?) , an infobox, and then remove the stub-tag, and move on, which makes it much easier to edit. --Fred-Chess 18:18, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. Keep up the good work! Regards, reetep 19:40, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. You too. --Fred-Chess 00:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Operas by title

Since you participated in discussion on Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Opera, I thought I should let you know that the category is now up for deletion on WP:CfD#Category:Operas by title. Cheers. --BaronLarf 12:46, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

renewal theory

Hello. In renewal theory, it appears that the reason you used the matrix format is to get the "=" in different lines to align. But two problems result: in many of these equalities, the expression right after "=" is much to far to the right, and the fractions are too small. Would it upset you to change the format to correct those problems? Michael Hardy 00:05, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Not at all; I'm quite new to tex and if you can do anything to beautify my work then please do. It has annoyed me too that equations in the matrix environment seem to be centre-aligned and not left-aligned (by the equals sign). I do like having the equals signs on different lines aligned with eachother though, so let's see how it turns out. Thanks for your other minor edits to make the typesetting clearer. Regards reetep 00:48, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC).

Sources for Bar product (coding theory)

Hello, some time ago you added a fair bit of content to Bar product (coding theory). As you may be aware, we are currently trying to improve Wikipedia's verifiability and reliability by making sure articles cite the sources used to create them. Do you remember what websites, books, or other sources you used to add content to Bar product (coding theory)? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? See WP:CITET for some quick templates to use for citing sources. Thanks! --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 03:42, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

maximum likelihood

Although you're right to say one should not normally link to a disambiguation page except in a disambiguation notice ("For other senses of this term, see blah blah blah (disambiguation)), nonetheless "fixed point" doesn't make sense in this case, and "mode" comes closer to the appropriate meaning. I've changed it to "maximum point"; maybe later I figure out what, if anything, it should link to. Michael Hardy 16:51, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Fixed point is incorrect on the technical ground that a fixed point may turn out to be a local minimum rather than a maximum, but I took it as read that the fixed points would require further analysis on discovery. Your ammendment reads a bit like a tautology, so I've made a further revision to clarify your intended meaning. reetep 18:12, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Image:Renewal process.reetep.png

Can you please clarify the copyright status of Image:Renewal process.reetep.png, I have marked it as a presumed GFDL, since you made it yourself, but if you could update it with whatever tag you'd like to release it under, I'd appreciate it. --lightdarkness ^(talk) 03:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Sure. Can you tell me where I can find instructions on how to do this please?

Łukasiewicz logic

Thank you for the new Łukasiewicz logic article. I did a few small fixes on it, like make section headings lowercase, per WP:MoS#Sections and headings. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:55, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to BHI horology course

You introduced an error into the article. There is no horological stub template. I believe it may have been deleted a while ago. No such such stub template is listed in WP:STUBS page. --Eqdoktor 18:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Ingo Molnár

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Ingo Molnár, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. mms 16:39, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Escapement

I know an escapement isn't a pendulum, but Category:Pendulums is also for "things related" to pendulums. I see you edited Lindisfarne, which is in Category:Celts... --ShelfSkewed Talk 13:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

What you say may be true, but is it appropriate to categorise things in that way? By all means choose a category such as Horology (which encompasses all things related to time-keeping), but placing an escapement in the pendulum category for the reason that you described (just because they are both components of a time-keeping device) is analogous to placing apples in the orange category, simply because they both happen to be types of fruit. Further, I would argue that the pendulums category is inappropriate. It would be better to create an article listing the different varieties of pendulums instead. reetep 16:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I found the category when I was cleaning up Pendulum (disambiguation) and added a few articles that were not yet included, so the category can stay or go, as far as I'm concerned. And I wouldn't add any other horological components to the category. I think the escapement/pendulum connection is closer than apples/oranges: The existence of escapements is entirely dependent on pendulums--the use of the latter led directly to the invention of the former. But I'm not here to insist--I just wanted to explain my thinking. --ShelfSkewed Talk 17:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'm glad we've agreed one a sensible way forward. Is it correct to say that an escapement depends on a pendulum? Do not pocket watches contain an escapement?

You're correct that escapements are used to drive clocks powered by things other than pendulums, but my assertion was based on my misapprehension that the escapement was originally invented for use with a pendulum clock. Having read further into the escapement article, I see that the first use of an escapement in a horological device was in a water-clock. Forget putting escapement in the pendulum category: Now my issue is with the escapement article that guided my thinking. The article begins, "The escapement drives the pendulum in a pendulum clock...." But that is just one specific--albeit the predominant--use of an escapement. Perhaps the opening definition should be a little broader? Both OED and Webster's 3rd offer definitions in more general terms. --ShelfSkewed Talk 14:02, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, so I'll leave it to others to solve that problem. reetep 07:59, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Part circle.svg

Thanks for uploading Image:Part circle.svg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --OrphanBot (talk) 12:08, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Core (group) wikify

Howdy, I think wikipedia's differ might have hidden some changes on Core (group). I made some additions to the article during my re-wikify, and tried to include your improvements during it. I definitely missed a few of your improvements, but your revert also missed a few of mine. At any rate, I tried to list the changes I did *not* incorporate and why on the talk page so wikipedia bugs don't hurt the article and you can decide more clearly on which changes are still important. At any rate, I just wanted to be clear that I was not trying to undo your edits, rather I was trying to continue to improve the article, and my first attempt missed several clear improvements. I missed them simply because the differ pretty much said "here is a completely new article" and I had to check it line by line myself. JackSchmidt (talk) 16:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for getting in touch; I'm glad we're not at conflict in our goals. Thanks for explaining your intentions - I certainly misunderstood them. Sorry if I trod on your toes with my edits. See also my reply on the talk page. Best, reetep 17:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

You rule. I hate messing with redirects. I wish I had made a list of all the bad redirects I've run into instead of doing some retarded things akin to orbit. JackSchmidt (talk) 05:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Linear code notation

Hi Reetep. My name is culix, I'm a student taking a course on Coding Theory. I have recently been adding content to a few Coding Theory pages, and I noticed your username appears quite frequently. Nice work!

I was about to add some notes to the linear code page, but I notice the notation used there is different from the notation I am being taught. I see you [created the original entry] on notation, so I thought I would ask if you know anything about my question on the talk page. If you have time to answer I would love to hear it. Thanks! --Culix (talk) 05:52, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Image licensing

Hey there...

I am going through a number of images that have some minor licensing issues. I came across Image:Inspection paradox.reetep.png which you uploaded. The licensing on this image is not complete as it was uploaded many years ago. I wonder if you could follow the link to the image page and correct the licensing with a GFDL license (or other free license). If you have any questions or issues, please drop me a note on my talk page. Thanks. --Jordan 1972 (talk) 22:12, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of BHI horology course

The article BHI horology course has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This educational qualification fails Wikipedia's general notability guideline.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
