Hi, Eric.c.zhang! I noticed someone else removed some external links you added to an article. I would like to explain that this is because editors should write from a neutral point of view (don't write anything that sounds like PR material), and should follow conflict of interest and paid editing guidelines if those apply.Randompointofview (talk) 05:47, 9 May 2020 (UTC) Sorry, you shouldn't need to worry about that edit, it was actually you who removed the links. I got confused by being shown the wrong edit summary. Have a nice time on Wikipedia, and thanks for teaching me! I also like the article on cattle futures contracts that you originally drafted.Randompointofview (talk) 23:53, 9 May 2020 (UTC) Okay great that clears it up! Thanks! Eric.c.zhang (talk)
Speedy deletion nomination of LME Copper
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on LME Copper requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Ingratis (talk) 22:39, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

This looks like a good place to ask about tools to detect copyvios. I cannot find out at all how I have the tool in my left margin. It was years ago
I'd love to know the answer, please. Fiddle Faddle 17:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Timtrent: thanks for the link, but sorry what would you love to know the answer to? You want me to ask that Wikiproject how to get access to the tool?
- Well, I'd love to know how on earth I installed the tool in my tools menu. It's at https://copyvios.toolforge.org/
- On a different topic, the ping system here is bizarre. It only works on a newly posted edit, and if the edit is signed. So I never saw the ping for me. How bizarre is that? Fiddle Faddle 20:24, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Correcting 2021 US Recession’s end Dates & Durations
You kept changing the end dates of COVID recession from Ongoing to April 2020, why? I find it unbelievable that the recession ended so quickly 69.244.83.111 (talk)
- I mean, the short answer is that modern technical definitions of recession is defined by the NBER, so they get to decide when recessions begin and end. The longer answer is that recessions can be thought of as "periods of growth contraction" and expansions can be thought of as "periods of growth expansion", so recessions begin when the Growth of wealth goes negative, but end when that growth goes positive, even from a very low base. So if you think we're growing from a very low base of wealth because of the damage from Covid, you're correct, but growth from that low base of wealth is still considered an expansion, and that expansion began in April 2020.
