Hello, I'm Rosbif73. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Small modular reactor, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Rosbif73 (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello ScientistBuilder! Your additions to Ray tracing (graphics) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing for why your edit to Ray tracing (graphics) was still a copyright infringement. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 03:26, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Added Euler recording to Current Recordings page

Hi! I saw you were doing a spoken version of the Euler article, so I stuck it in the table on the current recordings page. I hope that's alright – that way, we can make sure different people don't end up making different versions of the same article at the same time (which does happen sometimes, even with the large number of articles to choose from), and also have a sense of what's going on besides our own work. Once you're finished, you can take it off again, and add any other articles you start. Good luck with the recording! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thrownfootfalls (talk • contribs) 15:09, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. [1][2] MrOllie (talk) 17:40, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which article are you referring to? ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:41, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not affiliated with the links I posted. ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is related to the subject. The examples in the math articles are good. Sometimes it helps to see more examples. This is why I added this link. ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:43, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What specific guidelines in the External Link article does it not follow?

I'm not disputing your point I just would like to know what is the specific issue. ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:43, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are repetitively adding links in violation of WP:ELNO points 4 and 11. You should not be systematically adding links in this fashion. - MrOllie (talk) 17:47, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not trying to crowdfund or raise awareness of a website. ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:49, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As regards WP:ELNO point 4. ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:49, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should I revert the math edits? ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:50, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have already reverted them. Just don't add more of these links and everything will be fine. MrOllie (talk) 17:52, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why are the links irrevelant? I do not maintain the site I linked to. ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:53, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think I figured out the issue.

I don't meet this criteria:

Review your intentions. Wikipedia is not a space for personal promotion or the promotion of products, services, web sites, fandoms, ideologies, or other memes. If you are here to tell readers how great something is, or to get exposure for an idea or product that nobody has heard of yet, you are in the wrong place. Likewise, if you are here to make sure that the famous Wikipedia cites you as the authority on something (and possibly to pull up your sagging PageRank) you will probably be disappointed, because Wikipedia uses nofollow on all external links, thereby causing search engines to effectively ignore them.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Talk:ITER does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Constant314 (talk) 02:23, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can I make an edit summary after the fact? ScientistBuilder (talk) 02:26, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How can I find the reasoning for the demotion of an article from B to C status?

I didn't even have time to respond to suggestions. ScientistBuilder (talk) 02:27, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The reference tooltip is not working for me. ScientistBuilder (talk) 02:29, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The ITER reference tooltip with efn only displays a little JavaScript link in the lower left hand corner of Chrome but nothing pops up. ScientistBuilder (talk) 02:30, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also sometimes have trouble figuring out exactly how to use some of the templates. What I do is find a use in another article that does what I want and I copy it. I don't know what you are doing wrong. You might want to experiment in your sandbox.

There is no way to add edit summaries after the fact, but there is an option to remind you to do it automatically. That is what I use. It is on the editing menu on the preferences link on the top right-hand side of the page.
The best way to find out why an article is demoted to ask the editor that demoted it or ask on the talk page. In the case that I think you are asking about, it was probably to cut off premature GA nominations. The GA review of a class B article would probably be rejected based on WP:SNOW. Making GA nominations for articles that are not ready slows down the already backlogged GA review process. Constant314 (talk) 03:53, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to System of linear equations has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing.

Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Constant314 (talk) 02:53, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Verifying references

You seem to be adding references without verifying that the references actually establish the facts for which they are cited. For example, this edit [3] you cited a source to for the statement "The long-term stability of hydrogen maser standards decreases because of changes in the cavity's properties over time", yet the source does not even include the words stability or cavity. Adding references without verifying their content degrades the quality of Wikipedia. Please do not guess. I cannot tell, but you may be depending on synthesis (WP:SYN), which also something that is not allowed. Continuing this behavior could be considered disruptive.

Verifying references, again

Your addition to the article about Maxwell "Maxwell believed in the Trinity, which played a role in his development of differential equations that unified electricity and magnetism." was reverted because the reference did not mention Maxwell. There are other examples of your additions with non-useful references, hence reverted. Please be metriculous in your referencing. David notMD (talk) 11:30, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article should have some part about the subject but I understand why the edit was reverted. ScientistBuilder (talk) 14:01, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding questionable sources such as personal websites and newspaper articles for science related article content. see wp:RS - DVdm (talk) 19:20, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What pillar of Wikipedia are you basing your argument on? ScientistBuilder (talk) 20:16, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are using synthesis (WP:SYN), again. I understand the temptation. We all use synthesis often. But it is not allowed in Wikipedia. It takes a lot of self-discipline to realize when you are doing it and avoid it. You are making a statement and then adding sources as evidence. Your statement may be correct, but we do not use sources that way. Statement must be paraphrased from reliable sources (WP:RS), not synthesized. For example, you use a NYT column as a source for “Maxwell's equations is an example of mathematical beauty”. But the source does not say that. It tells us that someone conducted a poll of the Readers of Physics World magazine for the greatest equation and that Maxwell’s equation were among the top vote getters. You are citing that as evidence of beauty. It is flawed synthesis. The poll was not about beauty. There is no WP:RS to show that the population polled is representative of the rest of the world, and the winner of a beauty poll may still be ugly, if all the contestants were also ugly. Your conclusions may be correct and useful, but Wikipedia does not want your conclusions. They want you to accurately paraphrase reliable sources, and only that. Constant314 (talk) 20:29, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well I give up then. ScientistBuilder (talk) 20:45, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I could add a specific factual claim but I not going to add anything else. ScientistBuilder (talk) 20:46, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a minority (probably shrinking) us that think scientific articles should be rigorous. We are trying to turn you into one of us. :) Constant314 (talk) 21:50, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How about this? Widely acknowledged as a theory of extraordinary beauty, Maxwell's equations has often been described as the most beautiful mathematical idea.

What makes General relativity's statement "Widely acknowledged as a theory of extraordinary beauty, general relativity has often been described as the most beautiful of all existing physical theories." valid but "Widely acknowledged as a theory of extraordinary beauty, Maxwell's equations has often been described as the most beautiful mathematical idea." invalid? ScientistBuilder (talk) 14:22, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Constant314 ScientistBuilder (talk) 14:22, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ScientistBuilder: an important difference between the statement in General relativity and the one in Maxwell's equations, is that the former was established by wp:CONSENSUS on its talk page, whereas the latter was not. Or at least not yet. If you like to include the statement in the Maxwell's equations article, you need to make your case there (Talk:Maxwell's equations#beauty) with the relevant article contributors. Up to now, I have not seen a consensus there. - DVdm (talk) 19:15, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, \Atomic Clock

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, \Atomic Clock. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Atomic clock. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Atomic clock. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. MrOllie (talk) 03:34, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don't use asterisk for multiplication

Don't do this: $4.35*10^{-17}$

Instead, do this: $4.35\times 10^{-17}$

Or better still, within text, do this: 4.35×10⁻¹⁷

The only time to use asterisk is if you are giving an explicit example of computer code. Constant314 (talk) 23:26, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't copy material from elsewhere online

Hello. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the copyright policy of this website to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. The Wikipedia copyright policy and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. There's a simplified version of our copyright rules at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. Further copyright issues will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa (talk) 00:08, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nontology

Hello! Question, is it possible to open up and repair the article about „Nontology" (engl) or „Nontologie"(ger) and would you like to help to work it out? But it is so to speak a wide field caused by the fact that Nontology is not only the science interested or focused on „nothing" as a non-ontologic and finaly empty source between positivity and negativity like the simple idea or calculation 0=1+(-1) It's definitely more then that, so for example a pseydo religious movement for atheists and their ability to believe in something if it's nothing! Also philosophic aspects, parts of parapsychology, mysticism and occultic meanings are united under the flag of nontology! What do you think about that complex and let me know please! Very nice greetings so far'n no fear! I very please 4 help! (; Jenz Jenzen (talk) 14:34, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what you talking about. I am a Christian that believes that Jesus was God and man so I am not interested in this. For details see, my Wikipedia user page and the Nicene Creed and the Chalcedonian creed and the creed of athanasius and the apostle's creed. ScientistBuilder (talk) 20:52, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Latin Letters used in Mathematics

Dear Scientist Builder,

Kabiryani here or Kabir for short! I am a new Wikipedian but I have set out to fully reference the 'Latin letters used in Mathematics' article! I see that you know a lot about SI units and your help would be much appreciated. I would be especially gracious if you could inform the members of the Mathematics WikiProject about the lack of citations on this incredibly important page! --Kabiryani (talk) 17:08, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What article do you need help working on? The Latin letters in Mathematics? ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:11, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the article is now called List of mathematical uses of Latin Letters! I am struggling to find citations for subjects such as linear algebra because my mathematical knowledge extends to trigonometry. I'm still in school so I've got lots to learn. I could use your help in finding the occasional citation that I am incapable of finding! If that interests you of course. Kabiryani (talk) 16:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How to request resources

Several of the requests you've posted at WP:RX have replies. If someone supplies what you asked for, you are expected to mark the thread {{resolved}} so that it can be archived and volunteers no longer have to wade through it, or to respond with an explanation of why it is not resolved and what still needs to be done. Please take this opportunity to update your resource requests.

Also note that two of your requests appear to be for the same whole book. Such duplication is not helpful, and the service will not supply entire copyrighted books for legal reasons. If you can narrow your request to a modest portion, such as a single chapter, someone may be able to help you. Thank you. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:40, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

In order to lift the block, we need to be certain that you understand how copyright works on Wikipedia. To allow the reviewing administrator to assess your understanding, please respond to the following questions in your next unblock appeal, explaining in your own words:

What is copyright?
How is Wikipedia licenced?
Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?
Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content?
How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?

Your answers will enable us to establish whether or not you should be unblocked. Yamla (talk) 21:41, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Copyright is intellectual property that is illegal to put to Wikipedia and subject to jail-time and prison and other punishments. Copyright and fair use balance each other, for example Google vs Oracle's Supreme Court case was about was Google's use of the Kotlin API, which is built on Java, an infringement on copyright? Copyright is part of the law, including the Berne convention, the 1995 agreement known as TRIPS decided upon by the World Trade Organization. Copyright applies to books, DVDs, logos, audio sound recordings, and movies, though this is not exhaustive of all domains that copyright applies to. The Digital Millenium Copyright Act is the standard for online materials, for example pdfs of copyright books are removed because of DMCA takedown notice or a lawsuit that closes pirate bay sites. Recently all Internet Service Providers in the United States were ordered to block three sites displaying copyrighted television and streaming media, even the ones mentioned by the judge in a ruling. Copyright is present in DVDs with All rights reserved and continent specific enforcement, such as differences between European and American media. The point is that follow the copyright and don't steal, similar to how the Bible says, "Thou shall not steal." in Exodus and Deutoronomy. The work of copyright has been extended from 50 years to 20 +50years after the death of the author, for example if Adam the first man to ever live died in 1945, the copyright would expire in 2015. I don't understand why the previous unblock request didn't tell the whole truth.ScientistBuilder (talk) 01:42, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Explanations in my own words of copyright on Wikipedia. Copyright is a concept that means the right to publish, reproduce, distribute, make money from, and make changes to a work of art such as a book, painting, movie, or video game. Wikipedia is licensed with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License and GNU Free Documentation License. You cannot import work that is GDFL but not CC-BY-SA copyrighted or have permissions to use from the original author. You cannot use copyright work because Wikipedia has to honor the law and not commit piracy. Wikipedia can use copyright if the owner puts the work in the public domain or licenses it with Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives. Wikimedia Commons does not allow No Derivatives or No Commerical use but images can be uploaded to Wikipedia as fair use. Works from the US federal government such as nist.gov are acceptable on Wikipedia. After many years, usually 50 to 100 years, works become public domain and are no longer copyrighted. I will use Wikipedia guide pages on copyright and the creative commons licensing web site to prevent copyright infringement in the future. I will use Wikipedia The Missing Manual published in 2008 to make sure I don't put material that is copyrighted on Wikipedia and get blocked again.

WalkingRadiance (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Wikipedia's fair use policy is a way for copyright materials to be used if there is no free alternative. For example, I uploaded a logo with a No Derivatives Creative Commons license to Wikimedia Commons but it was deleted because the Wikimedia Commons community has decided that final products are not allowed and you have to be able to modify the works. I personally disagree with banning No Derivatives or No Commercial Use because I see art as a goal towards a finished product, but the consensus is different from my opinion. Anyways, the file for the 2019 Redefinition of the International System of Units was deleted but someone else uploaded the image to Wikipedia under Fair Use for me. Sometimes images can be used on Wikipedia and not on Wikimedia Commons. I hope I have demonstrated I understand Wikipedia Fair Use.

Accept reason:

ScientistBuilder (talk) 12:45, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you say Wikipedia's license "No derivatives?" Does Wikipedia allow derivative works, or not? I am not talking about images here; I am talking about prose.

Please describe how fair use applies to prose (not images).

Please simply answer the questions; you don't need a new unblock template for each reply.— Diannaa (talk) 13:37, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use in the case of text is the limited use of copyrighted text without permission from the owner of the copyright text. ScientistBuilder (talk) 13:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa Fair use does not interfere with copyright's basic objectives. Fair use was created to balance the interests of the public and the owners of the copyrighted works. ScientistBuilder (talk) 13:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In what types of situations would fair use of prose be appropriate?— Diannaa (talk) 13:48, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa The article and the subject of the fair use text are dependent on each other and related to each other. ScientistBuilder (talk) 13:52, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't answer the question. The question is, in what type of situation would you copy some text as fair use rather than writing your own prose?— Diannaa (talk) 14:06, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I need to find the answer. Where is a good Wikipedia article on fair use prose? @Diannaa ScientistBuilder (talk) 14:22, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

You have shown you now have an adequate understanding of copyright and how it applies to Wikipedia editing, and intend to follow this rule in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 13:44, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa ScientistBuilder (talk) 19:32, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't post a new unblock request each time. Your answer is incorrect.— Diannaa (talk) 23:56, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa Can you provide a link to a Wikipedia policy page on public domain, prose, copyright, and fair use, or a part of an article? I thought you didn't have to worry about copyright infringement if something is in the public domain, for example, if one of Agatha Christy's novels copyright has expired 100 years later. ScientistBuilder (talk) 00:36, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I should have said: Your statement is correct, but it does not answer the question, which was about fair use. The question is, in what circumstances might you use someone's copyright prose as fair use, rather than writing your own?— Diannaa (talk) 02:21, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use applies to using copyright material for research and scholarship. Fair use is a legal way to put copyrighted prose in a Wikipedia article with a citation. @Diannaa ScientistBuilder (talk) 02:27, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's true. Could you give me an example of why or when you would use fair use prose?— Diannaa (talk) 02:55, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I could put a quote by C.S. Lewis from one of his books which the copyright has not expired in the article about C.S. Lewis.@Diannaa ScientistBuilder (talk) 13:24, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa I would like to use the Wikipedia library to find a book when I am unblocked. I am looking for a book Computational Discrete Mathematics: Combinatorics and Graph Theory with Mathematica ® 1st Edition by Sriram Pemmaraju, and Steven Skiena. The book was published on December 8, 2003 by Cambridge University Press and I have access to the Cambridge database. I would like to request access to the Wikipedia library for combinatorics research. ScientistBuilder (talk) 13:33, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) That's a pretty good answer. I am going to unblock now, but I just want to point out that earlier you said Wikipedia's license is "No Derivatives" and that is incorrect. Please read up on this so you understand what derivative works are.

Please note I will be monitoring all your contributions for the foreseeable future for any violations of our copyright policy. — Diannaa (talk) 13:37, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Di (they-them) Please unblock me so I can access Wikipedia Library. ScientistBuilder (talk) 14:45, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to write @Diannaa.

I meant that Wikimedia Commons does not accept Creative Commons No Derivatives, not that Wikipedia's license is No Derivatives. I read this in Wikipedia The Missing Manual by John Broughton by Oreilly Media in 2008 or WP:MAN. I was stating I think No Derivative works should be allowed because if you are satisfied with your art work and you think its perfect you don't people doing something to it. I did not mean that Wikipedia has a No Derivatives license. I did mean that No Derivatives and Wikimedia Commons are incompatible. ScientistBuilder (talk) 14:51, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lollipop chart moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Lollipop chart, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Atomic clock into Optical clock. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:33, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would the talk page be a good idea for attribution? ScientistBuilder (talk) 20:35, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added attribution on Optical Clock talk page ScientistBuilder (talk) 20:36, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Posting on the talk page is optional; saying where you got your content in an edit summary is required. If you forget to do it, you can do it in a lter edit summary. — Diannaa (talk) 22:49, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi WalkingRadiance, I have participated at the AFD a bit; i hope you don't mind my calling the current article by a negative term (because it doesn't much develop the history of the Huntington YMCA building(s) and the organization. I'd like to see the article kept and developed more, with expansion to cover the whole topic of Huntington YMCA, the organization and its programs and all of its history and buildings. You stated at the AFD that "I have two secondary sources"...Could you please post more at the AFD about what those are? It is okay if they are not online documents. If you have electronic versions of them, though, could you possible please email them to me (at my Userpage, select "Email this user"), so I could try to work with them? Either way, thank you for your contributipons. Sincerely, --Doncram (talk) 20:38, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Too many capital letters

Hello. Please look at this edit and some of my other recent edits of pages you've worked on. You're using too many capital letters. WP:MOS forbids capitalizing an initial letter merely because it's part of a section title or an article title. Generally the first letter of the title is capital except when there is some special reason for lower case, and other initials are in lower case except when there is a reason to use a capital, such as the name of a person or a place, etc. Michael Hardy (talk) 04:32, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will stop capitalizing the words except for the first word. WalkingRadiance (talk) 20:53, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Multivariate Poisson distribution

Hi WalkingRadiance,

No hard feelings, but I've reverted your recent edit on the multivariate Poisson distribution -- the reason for this being that there is no such thing as a multivariate Poisson distribution. Any random vector whose components are Poisson-distributed could be called a "multivariate Poisson distribution", and the source you cited talks about multivariate generalizations of the Poisson distribution. In what you wrote and in the graphs you added, it is not clear what generalization is considered. If you are simply talking about a tuple of independent Poisson distributions, then that is not an interesting generalization. I can see you put some work in your edit and that is why I am writing this message, but in its current form the edit does not add anything valuable to the article and that is why I am reverting it.

Best, Malparti (talk) 22:22, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
