calling that edit vandalism is absurd. i removed a totally irrelevant claim from the article. if you think it should be included, please justify yourself on the discussion page. the page was marked by Ronz with all kinds of problems i'm trying to fix them. Spot (talk) 21:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The fact was sourced and true.

I didn't say it wasn't true i said it was totally irrelevant. They got a grant 15 years ago to develop this tuff.... what was the result of that? nothing. Please compare this article to
Jpeg
for the kind of information that should go here.

i edited his talk page to discuss the above matter with him, in the proper section (apparently i'm not the only person with this problem). it's a good faith edit. i am happy to discuss it here but i don't see what's wrong with what i wrote there, please show if there was.

TruDef

I would recommend you list the article on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. It's a bit more of an involved process, but if you nominate the article for deletion on the basis of what you said on my talk page, the article will probably be deleted with community consensus, or fixed up and referenced to the proper standard if that is possible. --Canley (talk) 20:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TruDef AfD

I don't think your comments "The company btw is a "pink sheet" penny stock with a history of fraud." and "It should be removed forthwith, and the editor banned" are helpful. Would you consider removing them? --

I'm going ahead and removing the two sentences indicated above. Revert if you like. --

I don't mind if you remove them, but fyi my accusation of fraud is based on [1] (ditto here: [2]). Finally consider the stock activity: [3] that corresponds to the beginning of Editor5435/Technodo's editing of the page. Spot (talk) 08:11, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Kevin Baastalk 18:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply

I agree with this. If someone reverts your an edit of yours, be sure that you've explained yourself on the talk page before considering reverting the other's revert. If you do decide to revert, it's best to do it only once, then just discuss the problem on the talk page until some consensus is reached. --

To many links

Where does it say that:

Wikipedia:Layout
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)

??????????????????????

~ WikiDon (talk) 00:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Best of all:
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)#Opening_paragraph
PPS: Although it doesn't say it in MOS, I compromised and cut four back to two just for you.
Actually the MOS explicitly prohibits "Two links are next to each other in the text". There were 4 in a row in the article. There are still 2 in a row, which still violates the MOS. Furthermore, these links are for common words, which is also bad practice. I'm going to fix it now. Spot (talk) 20:42, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've declined to speedily delete the article, because the context seems clear to me. But there are other reasons people may want to either delete or merge this article; I suggest asking for input over at

It's a straightforward application of probability; the math guys will know where it fits in. We've got lots of mathematicians who enjoy fitting new contributions into the mix. - Dan

True but it has a life of its own, outside of probability. See the book "The mating mind" By Geoffrey F. Miller.
I added another more scholarly reference as well. Sorry the formatting is crap -- really short on time, but i think this content is good. Spot (talk) 16:56, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for working on it. - Dan

Verdict: it was replaced with a redirect to the Secretary problem and the references were moved over. Spot (talk) 17:53, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

remove most of the samples

I don't understand why you choose to delete the sample images that you did from the Apophysis software page. At least one of those pictures demonstrated a unique aspect and major evolution of the program, that is no longer even represented. Personally I find wiki pages containing pictures that detail the various aspects of a subject far more informative. Anyway, I just wanted to know if there was some reason you felt these pictures should not be there. Perhaps we should make a more informative section on the history and evolution of this software.69.171.172.217 (talk) 23:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC) 23:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)23:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)~~[reply]

File source problem with File:De-figure.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:De-figure.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the

image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ✗plicit 00:01, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply
