Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

You are biased and reverting correctly cited statements.

You keep reverting my edits with no regard to accuracy. You use your personal opinion to justify the censorship of facts the public deserves to know. I suggest that you reference my citations before reverting my edits. It’s better to make a decision being informed. Subjective opinion is not a suitable basis for reverting any edit or post.

Take it up on the article talk page, where such discussion belongs. MrOllie (talk) 00:03, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

You make no effort to verify whether my claims are supported in historical literature and research on the matter. I can assure you I am completely correct. You sir are a racist and a bigot! Jamshid321 (talk) 00:24, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

You will need to get a consensus of other editors to get your edits to remain in the article. Namecalling is not a good way to get people to support you. - MrOllie (talk) 00:28, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Jollof rice - IPs

Not sure what went on here before, but it seems an IP with no previous edits has immediately returned after the protection expired and done a similar act. Might want to take a look. Aidan9382 _(talk) 15:21, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, that's FromSenegal (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) evading their block. MrOllie (talk) 15:25, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

"Illegible" map? (Brazilian Portuguese)

Can you explain it? The legend describes the map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gondolabúrguer (talk • contribs) 20:02, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

It is incomprehensible. It is full of smudges, even when expanded to maximum size. The legend is not helpful - it is long and full of irrelevant details. This is an article that is already crowded with images - it is better without this additional one. - MrOllie (talk) 20:05, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

User talk:162.89.0.47

Hi, when you come across an IP with a long track record and previous block log like that, you can safely report them to AIV straight away or let the previous blocking admin know the block is due for renewal. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:07, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Sure, will do. MrOllie (talk) 21:18, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Why was this genuine change reverted?

Hello, why was this genuine change reverted which added NSUCRYPTO olympiad https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=International_Science_Olympiad&oldid=prev&diff=1071226188&diffmode=source ?

Thanks. Rootkea (talk) 12:16, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

It isn't 'commonly recognized', as the table is defined. MrOllie (talk) 12:37, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Meesho Article deletion

Hi,

My page Meesho deleted, because there is draft for it before so, I want to know if there is any other way to publish it again or to contact the person who created the article before. It is translated in a detailed way from Hindi language to English language and I believe it must be published again because it is an important topic but, I don't know exactly what to do. So, If you can advise me in this thing. Thanks in advance! Kawthar Kalot (talk) 12:20, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

It was discussed at AFD very recently and the community found that it does not meet the requirements of the English language Wikipedia. You should respect that decision and stop trying to add it. MrOllie (talk) 12:33, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Sine curve arc length

Hi. What was the reason for this [1] removal of content? If I understand correctly, it was removed in the past because of self-promotion, but I'm not an Adlaj sock. I think that Notices of the American Mathematical Society is a reliable source. A1E6 (talk) 16:33, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

WP:UNDUE. It is an alternate way to do the same calculation, sure, but the 'very rapidly' is unjustified - it doesn't converge any faster than more common ways of doing it. MrOllie (talk) 16:43, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

I disagree. The convergence of the arithmetic–geometric mean iterations is quadratic (very fast). A1E6 (talk) 16:50, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

And the article didn't even state that it "converges faster than more common ways of doing it". A1E6 (talk) 17:06, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

And why do you think it goes against WP:UNDUE? According to WP:UNDUE, "articles should not give minority views or aspects as much of or as detailed a description as more widely held views or widely supported aspects." What is the more widely held view here? Mentioning that an algorithm is fast does not contradict anything in the article. A1E6 (talk) 18:48, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

WP:UNDUE is commonly used to exclude things that aren't commonly referred to by others. The more widely held view is that Adlaj's formula isn't worth writing about. Especially given that people like Carlson published better ways to calculate incomplete elliptic integrals before Adlaj's paper, it isn't surprising that there isn't a lot of notice taken. MrOllie (talk) 19:16, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Carlson's method is not "better" because it needs $M(1,1/{\sqrt {2}})$ (or $M(1,{\sqrt {2}})$) and an infinite summation term. But there's no infinite summation term in $L=2M(1,{\sqrt {2}})+2\pi /M(1,{\sqrt {2}})$. See Elliptic integral#Computation.

"WP:UNDUE is commonly used to exclude things that aren't commonly referred to by others" – this sort of stuff is nowhere in WP:UNDUE.

"The more widely held view is that Adlaj's formula isn't worth writing about" – whose view is that? Can you support this with a reliable source? A1E6 (talk) 20:03, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

It is self evident from the way that no one writes about it. The citations that paper has are trivial mentions in lists of prior work on ellipses. MrOllie (talk) 20:09, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

It was published in a reliable source, Notices of the American Mathematical Society, this is sufficient for a mention on Wikipedia. A1E6 (talk) 20:14, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

That is required, but not sufficient. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of all information that can be sourced. MrOllie (talk) 20:28, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

There are at least two papers [2][3] citing the article in question. It is not insufficient. A1E6 (talk) 20:42, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Insert a newer image (linguistic map) in the articles "Mineiro (dialect)" and "Brazilian Portuguese"

Can you add this image, please? It is a newer, better one, with self-explanation (legend). I cannot edit visually anymore both articles. https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialeto_mineiro#/media/Ficheiro:Isoglossas_no_estado_de_Minas_Gerais._EALMG,_UFJF,_1977.png Gondolabúrguer (talk) 22:08, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

No. I do not believe that adding that image would improve either article. MrOllie (talk) 22:09, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
