Contribution to Busy beaver article[edit]

Hi OrdinaryArtery! Thank you for your contributions to the Busy beaver article. Unfortunately, I think the image that you added could have copyright issues since CC-SA license does allow commercial purpose (for more information, see: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing). My suggestion is to add a link to the source page containing the image as an external link, or better yet, creating a figure showing the 5-state Turing machine like this diagram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Busybeaver.gif

Hi Saung, thank you for appreciating my contributions - I was attempting to get easier access to simple-to-read resources on the page, since the page has been flagged as being too technical and lacking in-text citations. I hope I was somewhat successful in this manner. With regards to the image I added, it was my understanding that since the book it's from is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, that it was acceptable to go on Wikipedia. On the free online version, you can see right next to the copyright at the bottom that it is licensed for creative commons. Is there something I'm misunderstanding? Thanks again for your support and your comment. OrdinaryArtery (talk) 14:20, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, out of an abundance of caution I have replaced the image with one I programmed myself, although I am still interested in whether the original image was allowed or not. OrdinaryArtery (talk) 15:13, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OrdinaryArtery, it is me who should thank you for your contributions! :) Sorry for the trouble! I didn't notice the copyright at the bottom of the page (I just saw this copyright page). Since the one you pointed out is more recent, then I guess you are right (I am not 100% sure either). Either way, a high-resolution image is always better 😁 Saung Tadashi (talk) 16:52, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Saung, I agree whole-heartedly. As is normal, I learned something in the process too - namely that Turing machines can be implemented and visualized in Mathematica extremely easily - usually just 1 line - using the TuringMachine function.

Blocked as a sockpuppet[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Duplo surrogate per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Duplo surrogate. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:10, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Wolfram Physics Project[edit]

The article Wolfram Physics Project has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Promotional claptrap -- all sources are directly connected to the project, press releases, or basic churnalism of press releases. Article was created by a now-blocked sock (presumably paid editor) whose only purpose was Wolfram promotion -- see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Badtoothfairy

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
