The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Nageh (talk) 23:11, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

When is a cryptographic algorithm notable?

Related to above AfD you may be interested in a discussion I started at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cryptography#When_is_a_cryptographic_algorithm_notable.3F. Thanks! Nageh (talk) 17:54, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Xenon (cipher)

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Xenon (cipher), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Utah historic site pics

Thanks for your many pics added to NRHP list-articles in Utah, including within List of RHPs in Utah County. I like this Baxter House one.... --do ncr am 22:05, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi again. You may have seen i just tried restoring the current bank building pic at the Bank of American Fork article. I agree 100% that a different building should not be included in the NRHP infobox and that it should not be in the List of RHPs in Utah County list-article. But, given the article title, I think the article can/should be about the bank AND about its historic building. Not all banks are notable, but the bank having a historic listed building makes it notable. Similar to our many church articles, where the article is about the church as a congregation/group of people, and about a building. Might you agree? Anyhow, I am really glad you are informed about the locations and able and willing to help get the picturing right. I hope you like how the Utah County NRHP coverage is coming alon. I hope to develop the list-article descriptions after i get all the individual articles started. cheers, --do ncr am 21:00, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

National Historic Sites - Photos Midway/Heber

Hi Ntsimp, Thanks for your help with the image. Even though I'm very familiar with web site editing, I manage the Fluke Calibration websites, 9 regions, 9 languages, but the Wiki system is a new and different content management system. Took me two days just to figure out how to get the image to appear on the Wasatch county listing page.

You might also like the south view image:Snake Creek Power Station South Side.jpg of the building that more clearly shows the haunches that are a big part of the Swiss architecture that is much a signature of Midway.

I plan to get all the Midway sites that do not currently have images and perhaps some of the Heber one's too. I already have the John Huber house and creamery, taken the same time as the power station photos. I may not get them all in time for contest entry but that's okay. And who knows after that. I'm actually traveling to New England in a few weeks and will try to get some from there as well.

Regular non-vertex-transitive graphs

Hello,

I would like to come back to comments you wrote many years ago: [1]. You were of course completely right: finding regular non-vertex-transitive graphs is not so hard, if one does not demand that the graph is connected, as well as its complement. In the article Vertex-transitive graph, there are now two examples of cubic non-vertex-transitive graphs, that are connected as well as their complement: the Frucht graph and Tietze graph. The Bidiakis cube is another one. I do not know if there are such graphs with less vertices.

At the time, you mentioned original research, that would be difficult to put in the article. However, just the observation that complements of graphs with non-isomorphic regular components with the same valency, are regular and not vertex-transitive, could be worth mentioning.

Kind regards,Evilbu (talk) 17:10, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment

Hey Ntsimp; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:14, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

NRHP Progress page

Hey thanks for helping out at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Progress by adding data for Utah, Idaho, and Vermont. I have been busy for the past day and a half after I created the page, so I'm glad to see it isn't just sitting there. There is one thing that I would like to ask, though. When tallying this data, have you been taking duplicates into account? When I announced the page at WT:NRHP, I tried to kind of stress the detailed referencing of duplicates on this list so that it could be easily updated if those duplicates were to be articled/illustrated in the future. See for example the Alabama section. It includes a citation explaining that two articles are present in multiple county lists and thus the sum of the numbers in the column is not the actual total number of listings in that state. It further includes the detail that one duplicated listing is unillustrated and unarticled, while the other duplication has both an image and an article. This fact means that the columns for #Illustrated and #Articled should be offset by only 1, not 2. I have basically been copying/pasting the reference for the "Duplicates" row in the state lists (e.g. National Register of Historic Places listings in Alabama#cite note-4) and editing it a bit. Would it be possible for you to add these refs to the data you compiled? Thanks!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 01:19, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Done. Ntsimp (talk) 03:52, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for checking my work - I double checked and got the same numbers as you did. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 14:37, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey - Thanks for fixing Coos county. I got to a point last night with New Hampshire where I knew I couldnt keep looking at it, so mentioned possible dups in the checkin comment and called it a night. dm (talk) 22:39, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ntsimp. I see you noticed i started articles for the 2 Piute County ones, am just going for the cheap thrill of an easy-to-get dark green area within Utah, in the article progress graphic to come out soon. :) I'd like to address NRHPs in Tooele County, too, with big area having sparse NRHP coverage, easy to score....

To keep things simple for Utah reconciliations in the future, maybe we should start articles for all the duplicate ones that overlap a county. And get pics for them too!

Thanks for your many contributions to Utah articles, and for your edits to many Utah new articles in recent weeks. --do ncr am 20:53, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

p.s. I was going to email you a question off-line, but see you don't have email enabled. Would email offline if you'd care to contact me. Nothing important, no problem if you don't. --do ncr am 20:59, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

If u cared to nudge along Tooele county AFC submissions, i.e. to approve any that you judge acceptable (by moving them to mainspace), i'd welcome that. And it could meet the deadline to color the county dark red in the current "Progress" update. :) I've drafted articles for all of them. (And I've figured out that one can find their drafts by this catscan search implemented fresh, in one click! No problem either way, the articles will get processed by someone else if you don't happen to choose to get involved with that. Cheers, --do ncr am 19:50, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Kane County

Thank you. Yes. I have them all but the library, which I will get the next time I'm in Kanab if nobody beats me to it. I've been uploading the images slowly, in between other tasks. I live far from Kanab, and I don't get there often, but it's a place I like. I happened to be there on Easter this year in the early evening, and the weather was balmy. It was fun walking around town taking photos of NRHP buildings. Some are gorgeous; others seemed a bit neglected. Finetooth (talk) 16:32, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

All in Kanab, I should add. I didn't do Orderville or any of the others outside Kanab. Might try for those too if the opportunity arises. That is unlikely to happen until 2014. Finetooth (talk) 16:35, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Richmond, Utah

Thank you for your kind comments. Richmond sounds like a great town and I'm happy to help them show off their history.

Cleveland, Utah

Your entry at [2] doesn't appear to address the question. Here is an example of how your town might be used in a sentence; use in a title is similar. Here is another. And another. And another. Are there are any uses where where what follows is NOT set off by a comma? Only if there's a period or semicolon or end of title or heading instead. Dicklyon (talk) 04:16, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Dicklyon, your examples are not to the point at all. These would have the "second" comma with or without the first one, even if the sentence used "a small Utah town" instead of "Cleveland, Utah". These commas come from the sentence structure, not from a supposed "parenthetical" or appositive use for the comma in the town's name. Ntsimp (talk) 13:30, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

My point was only that sometimes a second comma is needed after the state. Look for a city with a metropolitan area for more on-point examples: [3]. In any case, your statement there did not seem to address the point. Dicklyon (talk) 16:34, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

50,000 NRHP sites illustrated

		WikiProject National Register of Historic Places Award
		For helping WP:NRHP to illustrate 50,000 historic sites. Keep up the good work! Smallbones_(smalltalk) 14:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Your opinion and expertise would be greatly appreciated

You had been "pinged" recently to provide some input regarding a discussion involving Mormon Studies Review and so are now being appropriately canvassed (per wp:CANVASSING) to participate in the deletion discussion for the Review's brand-new "step-sibling" journal, Interpreter -- here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture. Thanks for your consideration of this request.--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 18:10, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Proposing a deletion

Hi there. I came across this article, 17th Utah Territorial Legislature, and found it difficult to use or repair. There are no references listed, and when I looked for a reference (so I could fix the article) all I found were Wiki-type articles. Some of the information listed is also incorrect. For example, "An Act incorporating Franklin City, in Cache County", links to Franklin, Ohio, when it should link to Franklin, Idaho. My feeling is the page should be deleted. I wonder if you agree. Thanks. Richard Apple (talk) 14:06, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
