These things can take time

Thanks for your efforts in the Tosca-discussion. I'm reminded on the extensive discussions that predated this section:Tom_Willett#Legal_issues, that issue was discussed in several Youtube videos, at least one of which had over a million views. Many new people turned up on the talkpage, and people like me kept saying no, no, no. Funnily enough, the usable source was first "discovered" on Wikipediocracy. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:48, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gråbergs Gråa Sång, thank you for the kind words! And thank you even more for your part in building a consensus at the Mika Tosca article. Working at the intersection of two contentious topics is certainly a bit tricky. Patience is certainly a helpful virtue in general on Wikipedia, although I am hoping to edit in calmer waters for the next while. :-) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

please include this information as part of Justin Paul (scholar)

Dr Justin Paul was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Science (D.Sc) on 20th January, 2024.[1]https://www.academia.edu/115737674/Honorary_doctorate Jimsocial (talk) 22:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Discussed at Talk:Justin Paul (scholar).) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:51, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russ,

please include (previously, it was there) the sentence as follows in JUSTIN PAUL (Scholar) profile.

Dr Paul was awarded Distinguished Visiting Scholar - position at IIM Kozhikkode in India during 2019-2020.

This profile is written by the subject person

Grzegorz Mazurek please read carefully and you will see in Para 3 that he wrote - " Since 2018, I have been a member of the EFMD Advisory Board for the Central and Eastern European region."

Shame for wikipedia to list this, without reading....I suspect that entire profile is written by him. Mashteacher (talk) 23:40, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:WHATABOUTX? That article is not in great shape. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 00:00, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you help with - adding this sentence / info on Justin Paul's (scholar) profile

can you add this sentence with the citations below -

During 2018-19, Dr Paul served as a faculty member with the Rollins College, Orlando- Florida, in the United States. He moved to Florida due to the serious problems caused by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico in 2017. Citation 1: https://www.rollins.edu/provost/documents/Faculty%20list%202018-2019.pdf

Moving also to Talk:Justin Paul (scholar), and responding there. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:40, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just noticed the picture

[2] That is so cool! Thanks to you and @Katja Berčič! And if you walk by again, you can ask him to change the "The last heir of silvesmithing" typo on his website [3]. It's one of the left/right scrollable headings a bit down on the page, to the right of the pic with the raven. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:04, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, you may want to consider Help:Archiving (plain and simple). Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:06, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gråbergs Gråa Sång, thanks for reminding me about archiving! It took me a little bit to get time work through, but I've done it. (Let me know if you see something obviously wrong :-) ) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:23, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know from experience that the bot can take 24h or more to show up. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:35, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Sebo

'The ethicist tag is not incompatible with other tags -- the tag means it is a main part of his work, not the only part.' If the 'tag' is 'not incompatible', why you are removing it? Ethics is the 'main part' of Sebo's work. As I understand Jevansen's edit, Sebo doesn't belong in BOTH the 'ethicist' category and the 'bioethicist' category. That's of course silly; Sebo might be a bioethicist, but he's not only a bioethicist. But I'm afraid I'm at a loss to understand your edit. Could you please self-revert, or explain what I have missed? Josh Milburn (talk) 06:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@J Milburn: Sorry! Self-reverted. I was editing perhaps a little too late at night, and thought you were removing the tag instead of adding. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:15, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Russ Woodroofe: No problem; thanks for the quick response! Josh Milburn (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@J Milburn: only, as I look more closely, the "American bioethicist" category is a subcategory of "American ethicist". Except for exceptions of nondiffusing categories (such as "American women xoccupation"), we're not supposed to have members of a subcategory that are also members of the parent category. Do you think he belongs more correctly in the broader parent category then? See WP:CAT for the rules, which are slightly arcane. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:20, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If it must be just one, 'ethicist' would, I think, be neater. I suppose I'm not really sold on that kind of hierarchy; lots of ethicists will work across several areas (or, to go a step higher, lots of philosophers will work across several areas). But that's a broader conversation. Josh Milburn (talk) 08:29, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of vandalism

Notice of vandalism, edits wars, adding intentionally inflammatory section headers, failing to source/cite information/content. Pixel-Lead453 (talk) 21:05, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For my records, this is concerning John G. Stackhouse Jr.‎. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Michael D. Aeschliman‎

Greetings! Thanks for your corrective measures at Michael D. Aeschliman‎. The same sock/COI promoter from that article also authored Conrad Hughes. What do you think of both subjects' actual notability? JFHJr (㊟) 22:10, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JFHJr: Straight up GNG looks a bit unlikely. Aeschliman is working in a low citation field, so it's a little hard to make a case for NPROF with citations. That leaves WP:NAUTHOR, as is typical for someone working in a "book" field. I see one authored book, and an edited volume on Google Books. The authored book looks to have several reviews, but I didn't quickly see reviews on anything else. From this quick look, I think that the most likely outcome of an AfD discussion would be a redirect to a stub on the notable book per WP:BLP1E, with deletion or keep being also possibilities. Hughes is hard to search for because of the common name. NPROF similarly looks unlikely, NAUTHOR possible. The article suggests that there are reviews of Educating for the Twenty-First Century, but I didn't quickly find them. The socking gives one pause. Anyway, in short and from a quick look, notability for both appears likely to hinge on NAUTHOR, and on whether multiple reviews of multiple books may be found. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 23:38, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! Your reply has confirmed for me that at least the notability tag belongs. I'm not sure if I'll line these putts up for AfD this weekend, but once I'm back at a desktop, maybe I'll have an opportunity. I really appreciate your time; thank you again. JFHJr (㊟) 23:49, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recording here for my future convenience the AfDs: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael D. Aeschliman, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Conrad Hughes. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you again for your feedback here and at AfD for the Aeschliman article. I've come across another apparently similarly situated academic article: Michael Bauman. Because he shares his first and last names with at least one pretty-well cited academic, I'm finding it difficult to get what looks like a reliable h-index. Any feedback from you would be greatly appreciated, your time permitting of course. What do you make of this one's academic citations? Cheers! JFHJr (㊟) 21:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JFHJr, I can see that looking in Google Scholar for citations isn't so easy here. But anyway, in many/most areas of the humanities, citation counts are on the low side anyway, and NAUTHOR is a more useful guideline. For this, I'm looking for several reviews, not all of the same book. (If they're all of the same book, then per WP:BLP1E, we're probably better off having an article on the book; edited volumes or highly coauthored works should be viewed a little more skeptically.) So more or less the equivalent of two notable books. A good trick is to do an advanced search on JSTOR, and click the "Reviews" checkbox. Doing so, I found two reviews of an edited volume [4] [5] and three reviews of authored works [6] [7] [8]. There might be a few more reviews. The presidency of the Evangelical Philosophical Society is unsourced, but might pass WP:NPROF C6, and probably at least contributes somewhat to notability. I think this one would be most likely pass an AfD discussion. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, much appreciated! JFHJr (㊟) 14:26, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Russ Woodroofe. Thank you for your work on Bernd Wegner (mathematician). Another editor, SunDawn, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Good day! Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia by writing this article. I have marked the article as reviewed. Have a wonderful and blessed day for you and your family!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|SunDawn}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Modified "primorial" method, called nabla-deltorial

A modification of the "primorial" method was created, called nabla-deltorial, symbolically designated as ∇Δ(pₙ), and although the initial measurements of the "primorial" were ambitiously aimed at breaking (among other things) also cipher codes, it is still far from that. However, factoring large numbers with divisors of "intermediate" size, i.e. not too high - is supposed to go "surprisingly" smoothly.

The "paper" is available here: https://www.1universe.gpe.pl/prime/deltorial.html

I will soon start writing an entry about it on Wikipedia, its name will be nabla-deltorial ∇Δ - I recommend it to your attention, and greetings to the titans of work...
