Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/Manual of Style [edit]
What, if anything, should be done with Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/Manual of Style. It is tagged as "proposed", but there have been no substantive edits in over two years. Most of it addresses mathematical notation; presumably most of that is in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics. There is no reference to the Stats MoS on WikiProject Statistics main page. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 00:40, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- I've marked the page as historical. Illia Connell (talk) 18:55, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Category:Statistics qualifications [edit]
I have proposed merging Category:Statistics qualifications into Category:Statistics education. Please see this discussion: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 March 28. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 04:43, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Category:Machine learning [edit]
I propose removing Category:Machine learning from Category:Computational statistics. I think that most of the relevant sub cats of Category:Machine learning are already in Category:Statistics (or in another subcat thereof) and that most subcats of Category:Machine learning are not statistical in nature. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 04:58, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- That looks a good idea. 81.98.35.149 (talk) 14:16, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- Done. Illia Connell (talk) 07:20, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Circular analysis [edit]
I have listed circular analysis for AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Circular analysis following a contested PROD. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 19:51, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Note that this was relisted on 9 April, so there's still time to contribute. Melcombe (talk) 17:01, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Journal templates [edit]
{{Statistics journals}} redirects to {{Open access statistics journals}}. As the lattter includes both open access and subscription journals, I propose renaming these so that {{Open access statistics journals}} redirects to {{statistics journals}} (i.e., swap the names of the two templates). There was some discussion of these templates on the talk page: Template talk:Open access statistics journals. Unless anyone objects, I'll request this double move. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 01:30, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
- I think you should go ahead. It will then give others the scope to use these different names for usefully different purposes. Melcombe (talk) 09:16, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

- I've made the request at Template talk:Open access statistics journals#Requested move. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 04:33, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Done: see {{Statistics journals}}. Illia Connell (talk) 05:02, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/List of statistics categories [edit]
I have updated Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/List of statistics categories, adding cats from Category:Category-Class Statistics articles. What was the original and current purpose of Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/List of statistics categories? Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 05:15, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't create that page and haven't really used it, although I have updated it occasionally. The page is linked from the project main page. It might be useful for some purposes given that, if you bring up the list, and click on "related changes" on the left wikipedia toolbar, you get an indication of the recent changes to text on the front-pages of these categories .... there is sometimes useful text about the scope of the category. Doing the same starting from the project categories just gives changes to the talk pages of the categories. Note also that the list is a somewhat reduced verson of "all categories" since it omits many that are (or were originally) thought to be outside the scope of immediate interest to the project -- statistical methodology -- omitting much of probability, and statistics books, journals, organisations, software. Melcombe (talk) 09:11, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing out the "related changes" link - I had not known about that trick. I like the idea of limiting the list to categories related to methodology. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 23:17, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/Cleanup listing [edit]
Any objections if I get rid of this: Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics/Cleanup listing? It has been replaced with a new bot generated listing, and, other than the talk page of a long-gone editor, no current pages link to it. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 20:44, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
WPStatistics welcome template [edit]
I've nominated {{WPStatistics welcome}} for deletion because it is apparently unused since its creation. The discussion is at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2013_April_18#Template:WPStatistics_welcome. Regards, Illia Connell (talk) 19:13, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Minimum chi-square estimation [edit]
I've just created Minimum chi-square estimation. It needs further work, including references and links from other articles to it. Michael Hardy (talk) 01:21, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
