Edit summary

Hi MathsIsFun. I have a small request. I would like to ask you to put an

edit summary more often when you contribute. I hope you don't mind. :) Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply

COI concerns

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, attribution, and autobiography.

For more details, please read the

Conflict of Interest guideline. Thank you. RJASE1 Talk 14:02, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply

RFC discussion of your username (MathsIsFun)

Hello,

incompatible with that policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it here. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. -- RJASE1 Talk 17:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC) RJASE1 Talk 17:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply

Your userpage seems to be an ad for a website with the same name as your username. It's really not a good idea to do that - Wikipedia is

not a soapbox. Also, it seems like you've made lots of valuable contributions, and some of those will be questioned because of the perception some may have that you are editing in order to promote your website. It might be a good idea to change your username, and it might be a good idea to rewrite your userpage: it's good to mention your affiliation with your website, that's just being honest, but it could be a lot more limited. See this WP:ANI thread for some discussion. Mangojuicetalk 20:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply

I have nominated Math Is Fun, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Math Is Fun (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. ThemFromSpace 08:34, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of

WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion
will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of
