I'm curious about your reverting my edit to Mathematics of Sudoku. Please discuss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PatmaxDaddy (talk • contribs) 18:07, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Self published material like sourcecode on github isn't a usable source on Wikipedia - see WP:RS. Before you ask, I am aware that lots of other sourcing on that article isn't compliant either - cuts will be forthcoming. MrOllie (talk) 18:18, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

OK, your rules. However, if you cut this and everything in that section that doesn't meet your standards, Wikipedia cannot cover this topic at all, and no one else will. There is never going to be a more solid proof of this result than complete source code and data sets that anyone can study and run. There is no more complete exposition of enumeration methods anywhere. Only one other person on Earth knows as much or more about Sudoku grid enumeration as I do--the Norwegian mathematician Kjell Fredrik Pettersen. I have a master's degree in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT (1980), and 51 years software engineering experience. If not me, if not Wikipedia, who is going to preserve this and make it available for future readers?

Bill Silver (aka PatmaxDaddy) PatmaxDaddy (talk) 18:40, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

That's perfectly fine - Wikipedia is not supposed to cover everything. If we can't source it as the content policies require, we're supposed to leave it out. I suggest you set up your own website or submit to some relevant journals, but Wikipedia is expressly not supposed to be a place to share original research. MrOllie (talk) 18:46, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Want to add more value to existing article

I'm really sorry that I was added link directly without proper formatting. But, based on my knowledge the page is more relavant and helpful to the users. So, I request you to check it again and help me to add that article in external links. Please note, here my intention is not to add links into wiki. I want to share the best knowledge. Aditya3181 (talk) 13:04, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

It is obvious linkspam, which you've been warned about before. And now that I look, I see that it has been added by a half dozen sockpuppet accounts. I will be recommending that this link be added to wikipedia's spam blacklist. MrOllie (talk) 13:07, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

List of Muslim military leaders

Hello, hope you're doing great. This message is with reference to the edits you reverted in List of Muslim military leaders. As far as I can extrapolate, you have some problem regarding the grammatical syntax/linguistics, because questioning well-sourced facts is too trivial and irrational for a reputed Wikipedia member like you. Consequently, I would request you to mention those mistakes I committed in my edit, which engendered a revert, so that I can add the additional facts and, simultaneously adhere to the Wikipedia regulations. --Snapthirsty110 (talk) 13:31, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

recommender systems

You keep deleting my revision on this article. But the text is a rephrase of the text obtain from the recent edition of the RecSys handbook: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-0716-2197-4_1

here is the original text:

" Recommender systems (RSs) are software tools and techniques that provide suggestions for items that are most likely of interest to a particular user. The suggestions usually relate to various decision-making processes, such as what items to buy, what music to listen to, or what online news to read. “Item” is the general term used to denote what the system recommends to users. An RS normally focuses on a specific type of item (e.g., movies or news articles) and accordingly, its design, its graphical user interface, and the core recommendation technique used to generate the recommendations are all customized to provide useful and effective suggestions for that specific type of item. RSs are primarily directed at individuals who lack sufficient personal experience or competence to evaluate the potentially overwhelming number of items that a website may offer.

Any update on that? 84.229.167.218 (talk) 15:35, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Update on what? If you have a source, cite it. Don't add text in random places to the article without a citation. MrOllie (talk) 15:36, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Embrace your health

Hello, I have added info that was conducted in a study. Embrace You Health is like Healthline, and a study is in the process if being published. The current pcos articke provided little information on supplements for pcos and does not list all the info on the low GI diet. I realize you feel that the link is spammy, and I may have to contact Wikipedia, to get more info.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliesmith45458 (talk • contribs) 13:10, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Healthline isn't a usable source either, see WP:MEDRS. Please explain your connection to the other account that has been repeatedly adding this link, User:Doreenmoore2222. - MrOllie (talk) 13:15, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

I noticed they had some medical studies and others have linked to them.

Did you create this article on PCOS? To help you, I can go through and remove some of the links that are not directly linking to verified medical sources. It might help. I will also contact Wikipedia and get clarification on citing. Thank you Juliesmith45458 (talk) 13:54, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Contact whoever you like, they're just going to tell you to read WP:MEDRS, as I have just done. Also, again: 'Please explain your connection to the other account that has been repeatedly adding this link, User:Doreenmoore2222.' MrOllie (talk) 14:16, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

I already stated, I found the source online and added the citation to the PCOS article. There are some holes in the article that I was trying to fill to help viewers when reading this article on PCOS. I added a citation, to the content I added that was backed by a medical study. I removed a link , vice.com and I contacted Wikipedia in regards to this link, as you stated, personal or spammy links are not allowed. This vice.com link has articles for "gamming", and that really has nothing to do with PCOS. The link I posted was to a comprehensive article related to PCOS. As I stated, before, the link I placed on this article was to help other who have PCOS and fill the gaps in this article. I added a citation, it was not an External link. The goal was to help inform Wikipedia viewers not improve the search engine rankings of this particular website. Also, please tell me your affiliation with Wikipedia, for my own knowledge? Why did you allow a website like vice.com ( with gamming articles), to pass by your link/citation audit of this website? Juliesmith45458 (talk) 20:15, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

I have not reviewed every cite on the article, just the ones recently added by multiple new users. Thanks for your efforts to ensure the article complies with medical sourcing requirements, but you should probably know that Vice Media is a very well known publisher who has won several major journalism awards (including a Pulitzer) for their news coverage. MrOllie (talk) 20:26, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Ok. was the news related to medical or wellness? All I see are gamming, video, money, cannabis, drugs, cocaine, horoscopes ( literally there is a menu drop down for drugs), and a section on health. I don't mean to knock this website, but I don't see how this website was cited for a PCOS article and the article add on I cited was removed. I'm sorry, but I still don't know how this link made it through your audit and the article I cited did not. Can you please tell me why you removed my citation and the info I provided to fill in the holes on this article. This article on PCOS is a good one, but it still needs a little work. You shouldn't just be removing links without reading the article first or having some knowledge on the subject. Instead info was removed from the article that could have helped someone, struggling with PCOS. It's just sad. Juliesmith45458 (talk) 21:20, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

User:136.57.191.25

This user, Special:Contributions/136.57.191.25, just told me to stop making pointless edit summaries. My edits are not pointless. So could you please tell him to stop sending me messages about that? AdamDeanHall (talk) 14:13, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you'd ask me about something like this. If you need to report a problem editor, WP:ANI would be the place. MrOllie (talk) 14:17, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

re: this. I love living rent free in the heads of trolls and ne'er-do-wells. Clearly I'm so humiliated. PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:01, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

If the trolls and spammers are lashing out, you might be doing something right. MrOllie (talk) 15:31, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
