"Move to Wikitravel"

I have speedy-deleted Template:Move to Wikitravel. It previously existed, but was deleted due to the fact that Wikitravel's license is incompatible with Wikipedia's. Thus, nothing can be moved to Wikitravel legally (unless it is dual-licensed by the author). -- Cyrius|✎ 22:28, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I also deleted the category, as it went away for the same reason. -- Cyrius|✎ 22:40, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

sorry if I seemed harsh

Sorry if I seemed dismissive over your concerns about the Authentic Matthew VfD. I agree that this article should be deleted, and I think the VfD is open to differing interpretations. But, the closing admin took the view that the 70% threshhold for delete votes had not been met. I think that decision was over-cautious, but not unreasonable. As you may have noted -Ril- contested it and put it back up for VfD - a move that was always unlikely to succees and really p'd off the admins. I simply think that the best tactics here are to accept the VfD (as regrettable as the decission was) and to seek other ways of cleaning up this dreadful article. A protected redirect seems almost as good as deletion.

Stay with it - you'll pick up the WP rules, I'm still learning, (some of them are pretty bizzare) as you go along. --Doc (?) 13:07, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. I might have mis-assessed my goals in all the action, but I'm actually more interested in the rules than in anything else here. -davilla (Sorry I haven't been able to log in.) 59.112.41.190 14:50, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Authentic Matthew the sequel

The POV that was in Authentic Matthew before it was NPOVed has been re-created at a new article - see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/The Original Gospel of Matthew. ~~~~ ( ! | ? | * ) 20:12, 4 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Big O notation

Here is the reference for the big O notation. It is assumed as standard notation in many branches of advanced maths, so it is not really appropriate to give a reference every time it is used. Hope this helps! Madmath789 18:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's one thing to say it doesn't need a reference every time and another to remove a brief explanation, and the only one on the page, as a "nonsense statement". Or perhaps there was a problem with my wording? Davilla 07:06, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was the wording that was the problem. The statement "where O(k) is on order k" unfortunately does not make sense in English. If you wish to add a brief explanation on the page about big O notation, I don't think that would be [a] problem. Madmath789 07:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Davilla. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Davilla~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
