Hy MrOllie, could you explain (by scientific arguments and/or literature or ...), why you deleted the text ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilmjakob (talk • contribs) 13:45, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Question about Amelia(given name)

I noticed you removed from Fictional characters Amelia Watson of Hololive Production. May I ask why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AsmallBlurb (talk • contribs) 16:02, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

That page is a navigation aid and should only be used to list characters that have substantial content for readers at their linked pages. - MrOllie (talk) 16:25, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Question about COI on reproducibility for RecSys

Dear MrOllie,

I am writing this message because I have noticed that you removed some references related to reproducibility studies for recommender systems due to COI/refspam. While I am indeed one of the authors (and probably adding a second reference was excessive on my part) the first article was a significant contribution that was appreciated by the community, having won a "Best paper award" and received more than 160 citations. One could certainly discuss these issues without citing that paper, but the set of people investigating those issues is limited and it would still contain other of my coauthors. Furthermore, there has not been a reproducibility study of that nature in the RecSys field in several years, before several of the currently widely used techniques were introduced, so the remaining reference would be from more or less 10/15 years ago and discuss older approaches. For a field that was born in the '90s that is a lot of time.

So, I would like to ask if you think that a wider discussion incluiding other, maybe older, works would mitigate/address the COI problem. Including for the reproducibility crisis page (where I noticed some of the other examples are similarly referred to a single article).

I would also point out that on Matrix factorization (recommender systems), you lef the paper from Rendle, which confirms one specific result reported in our own study and then does further experimental inqury, however it is not in itself a wide reproducibility study so the previous part of the section would be without citation. I am not going to re-insert it so as not to create further problems.

Thank you

Hello, I now noticed that there had been quite a few changes in the past related to those references in the recommender systems page, from various users which you reverted. I am sorry if I added to the mess. I suppose the issue was also they appeared in too many different places where a link to another page would have sufficed.

Issues of PeaZip page

Hello, I've updated the links to external sources of information about PeaZip, with the intent to address the issues of notability, verifiability and neutrality raised in the Multiple issue template added to the page yesterday. To help scrutiny of the updates, at the bottom of Talk:PeaZip I've added notes about the most relevant sources. My actions were aimed to:

1) back up claims of features made on the page citing independent, verifiable, and reputable sources endorsing PeaZip for actually having those features; in example Bruce Scheier (reputable and influential cryptographer) citing PeaZip on his own site Schneier on Security for using Blowfish and Twofish algorithms; or 7-Zip official domain listing PeaZip as software supporting .7z archive format; or Yann Collet, author of zstandard, linking PeaZip as application supporting zstandard on official zstandard project page (which is one of open source projects Facebook is publishing on GitHub); or Matt Mahoney, author of paq family of compressors, linking PeaZip on his official website.

2) recognize the efforts willingly spent by independent third party supporting PeaZip projects over the years, which is significant to establish the outreach of the project; in example I linked OpenSUSE and FreeBSD pages for PeaZip, where they distribute the packages of the application they created and regularly maintain; for the same reason I linked an independent project to port PeaZip to ARM architecture; also in this "class" can be considered the link to Microsoft's repository of winget featuring manifest files for PeaZip (MS added PeaZip to winget package manager very early, and regularly updates).

3) with the sole purpose of showing the significance of the application over the years I've linked some other mixed sources, in example: a step by step guide for encryption using PeaZip on the website of University of Southern California, or the "Project of the month award" interview on Sourcefoce, or a narrow selection of comparatives and dedicated reviews (not auto-published "product pages", nor automated product listings) written from well established tech writers on mainstream tech magazines as The Register, LifeHacker, Techrarad.

Please let me know if my efforts went in the right direction to improve the quality of the page and in addressing the issues raised yesterday, and how this can be improved for the best. Gtani (talk) 18:34, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the further feedback, I've tried to reduce the redundant and less significative links Gtani (talk) 21:08, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Inheritance (object-oriented programming)

Hey, thanks for cleaning up the Inheritance (object-oriented programming) article after all that mess was inserted! I tried to fix it a little, but your method was better. Perhaps if I'd had my coffee, I would've seen the simpler solution. Anyway, thanks again, and Happy New Year! — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 14:16, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Removing External Link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_management_in_India#External_links)

Hi,

Thank you for your detailed message.

I have read your wiki page ,and I thought that, I have to update the same by adding the external link. I have only redirected to the well researched article (https://www.astuteanalytica.com/industry-report/waste-management-market) which includes the definition of Waste Management along with the COVID and Asia Pacific analysis. Please read the link and allow me to add this on your page, it will be useful for readers. Please suggest
