Autopatrolled granted

[edit]

Hi Fgnievinski, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Mike (talk) 00:09, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Indian Society of Remote Sensing (November 7)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Nightenbelle was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
No evidence of notability.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:StarOne satellites

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:StarOne satellites requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Geolocation (disambiguation)

[edit]

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 Geolocation (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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.

Merge proposal

[edit]

F, when you tag articles for merging, it would be good to at least follow the discussion link and state your reasoning to start the discussion. I'm removing stage merge tags from places with no discussion, like Damped wave. Start over if you want to make the case, which in this case I might agree with.

Cepstrum question

[edit]

F, you put "*computation of the logarithm of the spectral amplitude (directly as a complex value or indirectly in terms of its absolute square, real part, or complex argument)". I don't understand. Sure nobody would use the logarithm of the real part of the complex spectral amplitude, would they? And what does "complex argument" mean here? The argument is the phase of the amplitude, right? That's already a logarithm (the imaginary part of the complex logarithm); not something you'd take a logarithm of. Maybe the "its" refers sometimes to the spectral amplitude, and sometimes to the logarithm? If I understood the intent, I could help fix it. Dicklyon (talk) 17:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Dicklyon:, the correspondence is as follows:
  • directly as a complex value: complex cepstrum
  • indirectly in terms of its absolute square: power spectrum
  • ... real part: real cepstrum
  • ... complex argument (redirect for argument of a complex number): phase cepstrum
The description of the last two seems sketchy in the article, but that's what was already there. fgnievinski (talk) 18:21, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And I think you're right about the phase cepstrum: it seems just the phase of the complex cepstrum, it doesn't follow the same definition as the other types of cepstrum. fgnievinski (talk) 18:43, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And the real cepstrum uses the log of the magnitude, not the log of the real part. I'm going to rv that edit, and we can try to clarify the intent. Dicklyon (talk) 06:30, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the text ("setting the phase of the spectrum to zero") contradicts the formula, F^-1{log|F{f(t)}|}. I thought the text was more fitting to the name (real), so I was inclined to correct the formula, replacing the magnitude for the real-part operator. But now I've checked a source and it seems the formula is correct, the text is incorrect, and the title is just misleading: y=real(ifft(log(abs(fft(x))))); [1]. fgnievinski (talk) 07:04, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposals

[edit]

Hi, I've noticed that the merge proposal backlog in WP:WikiProject Astronomy lists several of your split proposals (Nutation, List of common misconceptions, Magnetosphere), two of which are more than three months old. The reason why your split proposals haven't received any response is because you have not started any discussion in the articles' respective talk pages. Splitting an article does not work by simply tagging a section; please see WP:SPLIT for additional information on splitting articles. Nrco0e (talk · contribs) 02:25, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Repurposed drugs for Covid19

[edit]

Hi, the re-purposed drug section for COVID-19 should really have the controversy around the many different drugs that have been tried. In particular, ivermectin has a wealth of studies behind it suggesting that it does work and only a few studies behind it saying it does not work. There has been active suppression of information about this drug. I feel that all of that ought to be covered in Wikipedia which should remain agnostic as an overall body. I would like permission to add that information, in the context of the controversy.

Re: (Relativistic) Doppler Effect

Hmm, my comment was about the sidebar, not the "Doppler". I still believe it's very wrong to call the effect just "Doppler". If you really wish, add a comment that sometimes it may be called like that. But this doesn't belong to the Intro. And a citation to an essentially internal document is not a proof. In the whole life I haven't seen it called like that. No need to give the Wiki readers mostly irrelevant info.Evgeny (talk) 18:20, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Technicality

[edit]

Please re-read WP:TECHNICAL, which is one of the key criteria for a good article. Euclidean distance is a concept studied in secondary school, so the bulk of the article and especially its lead needs to be understandable to that audience. Putting in technical content about metric spaces, early in the article, is a bad idea. The article focuses on distances between pairs of points, and not on spaces of distances, at least until the "Generalizations" section. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:45, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@David Eppstein: Agreed, that's why I had proposed to define the Euclidean distance in terms of Pythagora's law, which every student should know, and would also allow a concise non-circular definition of Euclidean space. Could you please comment also at Talk:Euclidean_space#Definition_in_the_lead. fgnievinski (talk) 19:49, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Defining distance in terms of the Pythagorean theorem is not a way to make things less technical. So I find it hard to understand what you mean by "agreed". Stop adding advanced concepts to material that must be readable by middle school students. You are making the articles less readable, making the encyclopedia worse, and making more work for others running around after you cleaning up the problems you are making.
The distance between two points is a concept clearly understandable to middle school students. A metric space, fulfilling abstract axioms, with infinitely many points and distances between them, is a much more advanced concept. It is like the difference between first-order and second-order logic. You are taking something for which a deliberate and painstaking effort has been made to cast in first-order terms, and throwing that effort away by jumping into the second-order version from the start. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:54, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've only added a synonym, sourced and well known, you're clearly overreacting. fgnievinski (talk) 20:52, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
MathWorld is not actually a very good source. XOR'easter (talk) 21:23, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@XOR'easter: disputing the notability of the term "Euclidean metric" doesn't lend much credit to one's opinion. fgnievinski (talk) 21:31, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is NOT a synonym. Euclidean distance is the distance between TWO points. Once you know which two points you are talking about, it is just a single number. The Euclidean metric is not a number. It is a much more complicated mathematical object, a space of distances on infinitely many points. You keep adding text that would make the article start out saying something about "Euclidean metric between two points", which is incorrect and a type error. Even if you wrote correctly about the Euclidean metric, which you have not been doing so far, it would be far too advanced a concept for the start of this article. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:42, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@David Eppstein: Then retarget the redirect to Euclidean norm or Metric (mathematics) and explain it all there -- or delete the redirect! You all should be commenting on the actual RfD. fgnievinski (talk) 21:48, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I care about your edit-warring to add inappropriate material to Euclidean distance. I have not gotten involved in your edit-warring on Euclidean space or Euclidean norm, yet. I don't understand why you keep repeatedly telling me I have to get involved in your edit wars elsewhere in order to have an opinion on Euclidean distance. I do not. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:50, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@David Eppstein: The redirect in question "Euclidean metric" has also been formally nominated for RdD; I'm curious to hear your opinion about where it should go. fgnievinski (talk) 22:01, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would you consider becoming a New Page Reviewer?

[edit]
Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hi Fgnievinski,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, (t · c) buidhe 22:18, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Stellar parallax (disambiguation)

[edit]

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 Stellar parallax (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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.

Citation overkill

[edit]

A recent edit of yours to Root locus analysis added 9 citations to the page, all to verify a single sentence. This is citation WP:OVERKILL, resulting in an article that's more difficult to read. Is there a particular reason this many are required (in which case they could be merged into one larger citation) or would it be better to trim them down? The challenged notability of "Spirule" doesn't seem like it requires more than one or two sources, though I agree that the manual is poor for establishing notability due to being a primary source rather than a secondary one. Leaving in just "Engineering Systems and Automatic Control" seems fine, as it mentions the Spirule being "widely used". Randi Moth (talk) 19:44, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.
