Disambiguation link notification for November 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Modafinil, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Timothy Grant. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Pig in a blanket

I just tried to go to the article for pig in a blanket and got redirected to pigs in blankets. This bugs me because a) "pigs in blankets" *sounds* weird, and b) naming guidelines (WP:SINGULAR) say to avoid plurals. I figured I'd check the page history for the redirect to see if the article could be moved over the redirect, but it has more than one history entry. I was going to say "screw it", but after clicking away a username flashed across my line of sight and instead I said, "holy shit, it's Gwern".

I don't have the wherewithal to deal with Wikipedia bullshittery anymore to try and get someone to do a proper move, but I thought that you might if brought to your attention.

Thanks. -- C. A. Russell (talk) 02:12, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Portable Standard Lisp

The article Portable Standard Lisp has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable variant of lisp

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Do you still have access to that book and scanning equipment?

Hey, I noticed a copyright issue with an image you apparently uploaded to Commons eleven years ago. I'd need to be a complete lunatic to hold it against you that you made a mistake that long ago, but while I removed most of the non-PD text, there is still some text visible on the opposite side of the page, and was wondering if you would be able to re-scan the image with perhaps a dimmer light or something? Sorry, I know even less about scanning than image editing (and I made the change that I did in MS Paint...). Hijiri 88 (やや) 22:55, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I have to click through and stare at it to see any text. I made the scan from a library book I had ILLed at the time, so I do not; but by sheer coincidence in the past few weeks, I have been going back through my articles on gwern.net & WP and buying cited books in order to scan & upload them, and have already ordered a copy of Japanese Court Poetry. --Gwern (contribs) 03:01 1 October 2017 (GMT)

Hey Gwern, thanks for adding those missing testimony docs for this case. When I first added the docs in that collection ~10+ years ago, for some reason they weren't all available through PACER. I haven't had a chance to read through the links you added, but I plan to at some point in the future. jlcoving (talk) 00:09, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the docket timeline is confusing. For some reason, the transcripts were yanked and then new versions posted later, which was confusing because I wasn't sure if I'd gotten all of Skinner's or not... I didn't care enough to download the additional filings to figure out what went on there, as my experience has been that when filings get amended like that, the reason is often boring, and I had spent enough money at that point. (Getting all of them cost $50!) I still wasn't able to get some of the transcripts listed as I got permission-denied errors, which I assume means they were hidden for confidentiality or secrecy or something. If you're interested, you might want to retry PACER. The docket should also be on RECAP now. --Gwern (contribs) 00:46 1 October 2018 (GMT)

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 Superplastic 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.

Sourcing and citing health content in WP

It would be much easier for everyone to analyze your sourcing if you used the standard citation templates and cited the PMID. There is an easy tool to use, based into the editing window's toolbar (I only learned about it myself a couple of years ago).

The note below provides brief information about the editing community defines "primary" and "secondary" sources per WP:MEDDEF and a concrete explanation on how to format citations from WP:MEDHOW...


Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Please remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
  2. Then click on "templates",
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in the details beside a magnifying glass followed by clicking said button,
  4. If the article is available in Pubmed Central, you have to add the pmc parameter manually -- click on "show additional fields" in the template and you will see the "pmc" field. Please add just the number and don't include "PMC".

Please don't take this as pointy. Jytdog (talk) 22:07, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
