Reply from someone just refreshing their algebra

Hi DVdm,

I am writing concerning your removal of my edit on the discriminant formula.

In the formula the imaginary number already accounts for the discriminate being negative as it is the square root of negative one and by the properties of multiplication under a square root it can be taken outside. I removed the secondary negative symbol before the delta symbol because before it read:

+ or - i[square root(-delta)]/2a

but it should read:

+ or - i[square root(delta)]/2a

because like I said the i already accounts for the negative value in the discriminant.

Please excuse my ignorance if I missing something totally obvious and also my sorry excuse for trying to write mathematical equations online (I probably used all the wrong separators).

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.171.233.80 (talk) 18:21, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If Δ is negative, then -Δ is positive and the square root can be taken, such that √(Δ) = i √(-Δ). - DVdm (talk) 18:34, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trigonometric interpretation of a cubic with three real roots (JPEG -> PNG)

(Re: User_talk:Mikhail_Ryazanov#why_jpeg.3F)

Thank you for your effort, but please read WP:PIFU#Do not save diagrams as JPEG ("do not simply save the JPEG as PNG"). ;-) And when you upload replacements, please make appropriate changes on the original file description page and provide useful description and source information for the new file (like I did now for the original and the new).

Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 22:10, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't really saved the jpg as png, but created a new png from a fresh screenschot op the jpg, which of course resulted in the the same pretty bad looks. I should have put more time in doing it right. Thanks for the advice and sorry for the extra effort.

By the way, I made another little change for colour consistency. Before: black dashed to A and B, red to C and θ-rotated points. After: Blue to A, B, C, red to θ-rotated points. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 09:02, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, now it looks more evident. :-) If you could redraw it in SVG (using an actual cubic curve instead of wry splines)...

BTW, as I understand, the vertical line going through the center of the circle should pass through the center of symmetry of the cubic curve. It would be good to show this relation also.

Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 22:29, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not the author of the original drawing, and I hate Inkscape, so be my guest casting it into svg ;-) - DVdm (talk) 16:48, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism claim incorrect and thus removed

I have removed your speedy deletion stuff because your claim of vandalism is not correct. Please AGF. Cheers. --Rangeblock victim (talk) 15:35, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall the content of these articles, but it looks like both the articles UNITED AIRLINES and Unite Airline destinations have indeed been deleted by administrator RHaworth. If my warning templates were inappropriate, please accept my apologies. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 15:47, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Rowenna Davis

My comments on the edit of the Rowenna Davis page reflects the original guidelines for personal profiles on Wiki. Writers, Artists etc who had published / exhibited major works, or published numerous referenced works, Recording artists, major Political figures, and celebreties, were deemed to warrant a page. I have not checked the recent wording for biographies, however I would contend that Rowenna Davis does not qualify.

Admittedly she has appeared as a Panelist of a Sunday Lunch Time Political programme, is a sitting Labour Cancilor, and contributes articles to the NewStatesman (a left-wing party-political journal), however there 1,861 London Councilors, of which a number appear regularly in print, on television, and on the radio. These include professional Journalists, accomplished Businessmen, and high profile individuals. Very few of these people have a Wiki page due to the guidelines, so why does Rowenna Davis?

I can understand that someone decided to create the page, and that without knowing much about the British Political System one might assume what is written about her inplies something of importance, however baring in mind there are 1,860 other London Councillor, with many more County (1,859), Unitary (3,123), Borough (2,445) and Disrict (8,903) Councillors, many of whom have held more senior local office, I think that the page should be removed - otherwise you will see a good deal of similar pages - which adds nothing to the richness of Wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.236.86 (talk) 23:30, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.

If you think the page should be deleted or drastically trimmed, this or this clearly is not the way to accomplish that. I recommend you go to the article talk page (Talk:Rowenna Davis) and talk about it with the other editors. Don't forget to sign your messages. Good luck. - DVdm (talk) 08:51, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Godzilla (1998 film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page South Pacific (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 01:25, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

about article sridevi

i have made changes and i have reliable sources, explain to me how to add the reliable sources, iam new here, thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.182.60.0 (talk) 19:13, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.

My message on your talk page (User talk:41.182.60.0) contains a pointer to the relevant article: Wikipedia:Citing sources. Take your time to read and understand this, and it's also a good idea to look at other articles to see how all this is done "in the field". Good luck! - DVdm (talk) 19:25, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

senseless removing of links....

i'll have you know, that you removed links that did not violate any rules. the links were verifiable, and accurate, and absolutely within guidelines. who the hell are you the wikipedia police? stop messing with wikipedia. it's people like you that make the information on here not as reliable as it should be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.42.63.147 (talk) 19:32, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.

Wikipedia is not an advertising agency. Please stop adding this link. - DVdm (talk) 19:35, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

no one was advertising.... and you're not the wikipedia police... it clearly is allowable BY ANYONE to add links and edit information on the website, as is mentioned HERE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.42.63.147 (talk) 19:38, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.

Trust me, if you continue to try to add this link, you will probably get blocked. - DVdm (talk) 19:42, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are YOU going to block me? as i stated, and you will notice in the Wikipedia:Introduction anyone is allowed to edit anything on here... so we can keep going back and forth all day and night..

Read the links in the messages on your talk page. There is more to Wikipedia than the introduction. This is a clear case of an inappropriate link. Please stop. Thank You. - DVdm (talk) 19:54, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate link in YOUR opinion.... what makes you get to determine what is appropriate or inappropriate? did you go to the university of wikipedia or something? the page linked was CLEARLY information solely about the word that was linked... making it credible, valuable, and appropriate. maybe YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE doing more research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.42.63.147 (talk) 19:56, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FYI.... by you continuously removing edits... you are guilty of Wikipedia:Vandalism and can also have your account blocked and removed... just thought i would let you know that. maybe if you want to play the wikipedia police someone should play police with you as well.71.42.63.147 (talk) 20:11, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a contributor with quite some experience in spam- and vandalism removal. Please do take some time looking at the various pointers in the messages on your talk page. Thanks for abiding, cheers and good luck. - DVdm (talk) 20:14, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re. Edit

Sorry about that, I messed up w/ Twinkle.-- Thus Spake Lee Tru. 21:02, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I was a bit swift myself :-) Cheers - DVdm (talk) 21:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Silly edit by me, I posted it due to the absolute cobblers above it which seems to have been taken as fact... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.172.150.187 (talk) 19:03, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 20:57, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Carl Andrew Spaatz edit.

My recent edit to that article was not unsourced; it was stated at least twice earlier in the article. Soda Drinker (talk) 22:34, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Cue However, the nickname itself is also unsourced, so its other entries in the article should be removed. GSK ● ✉ ✓ 22:36, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

True! I will remove them now if they have not already been.

22:38, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just tagged it for a citation needed, but by all means go ahead removing them. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 22:40, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quartics

We need to improve the article on quartic functions. As it currently stands, the general formula for quartic roots obviously fails to cover the special cases when either t or Delta or u + v are 0. — 79.113.242.231 (talk) 01:21, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. What we really need first, is a good proper Wikipedia-policy-kinda-compatible source like the one we found at Cubic function.^[1]

Without such a source, trying to improve on what is there looks like a nightmare in which I'm not inclined to wander around :-) - DVdm (talk) 18:07, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So the Planet Math article linked in the section (below the picture containing the expanded formulas which I simplified) is not such a Wikipedia complying source ? — 79.113.240.179 (talk) 23:29, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, PlanetMath could be reliable. It is used all over the place: Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from PlanetMath - DVdm (talk) 10:07, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

EastEnders

Hello. I am inviting you to a discussion at Talk:EastEnders#Infobox edit warring. –anemoneprojectors– 08:39, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. See my 1.5 cents. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 09:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The information on this page is cited

Sir, are you in anyway affiliated with this school? If not, may I please ask you to stop deleting information from this page? You continue writing about needing a citation or source for the information. Well the source if from this school’s documentation records. The data that is listed is to stay. It has been like this for years now; even before I signed up to Wikipedia! Now you sir have the urge to remove it all as I add more information? I will report you if you continue onwards with this pattern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schooliscool135 (talk • contribs) 17:31, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.

The information is not cited. It is also unencyclopedic. This information could be useful in a flyer or an advertisment, but not in Wikipedia. Please have a look a our policies. See some useful links on your talk page. - DVdm (talk) 17:39, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

how to contact administrator

Hi, how do I contact an administrator about problems with another editor? thanks Booklaunch (talk) 16:09, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can put a message on an admin's talk page. But perhaps I can help. What kind of problem, with whom, over which kind of edits, and on which article? - DVdm (talk) 16:46, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Summaries??

Thanks for leaving me a message, but i still dont get it with your statement about edit summaries, could you please repeat and make more clear that statement, it will be more helpful for me. thanks Politsi (talk) 07:50, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When you make an edit, there is a box at the bottom to provide an edit summary, to "Briefly describe the changes you have made". It is explaned in Help:Edit summary. - DVdm (talk) 07:54, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
