Matthew Hunter=

He's clearly notable, but you seem to have copied ll or almost all of it from the 2 references given. Please rewrite it in you own words; don't paraphrase--that still constistutes plagiarism. Rewrite from scratch. Invcluse a list of his major published works also, and see if there is any bio tribute to him from outside the university--there probably is. A science or engineering librarian should be able to help find it. DGG (talk) 17:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

it needs more thorough rewriting than that. Rewrite from scratch. And btw, we refer to people in the article after the first mention by their last name only, without the Dr. DGG (talk)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Danski14! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 2 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. J. Christopher Jaffe - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

GA reassessment of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. You are being notified as you have made a number of contributions to the article. I have found some concerns which you can see at Talk:Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:15, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Giulio Giorello

The article Giulio Giorello has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Taroaldo (talk) 03:41, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Arrested Development logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Arrested Development logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 04:17, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Your observation

I sympathize with you. I have been outspoken about the folks who trawl AfD arguments and search for articles to delete. If they understood the subjects they were criticizing, that would be a fair argument. Instead, far too many of them think they get brownie points for the number of articles they get deleted. We've been through this heavily in the BLP discussions a few months ago. You came to the right section for sports. If you care about academics, find the definition for the Wikipedia standards in those fields and help those folks to find help them establish those standards in terms that the AfD people can understand. When the argument is already settled by the guideline, you will have far less trouble. Personally, since this sports standard was written, I have yet to be challenged. Prior to this, I had a bunch of stuff deleted. I've been a pissed off wikipedian ever since, or at least a strong anti-deletion advocate. Seriously, folks like that can't be allowed to win. They are hurting the wikipedia project and effectively censoring what the world is allowed to know. Trackinfo (talk) 08:05, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey. I want to have some links updated on the main page for the wiki. I'm also interested in reviving updates on the page. Any information on this? Please email me at jayjaywalker3 @ gmail.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.161.32.218 (talk) 06:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:

• This permission does not give you any special status or authority
• Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
• You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page
• If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it

If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! Acalamari 15:35, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

William A. Wallace and List of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute people

The link you added for William A. Wallace under current faculty on the List of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute people page can't be right. The former page indicates a death date over 100 years ago. I undid your change, but please consider redoing your edit with a better link, or whatever it needs to make more sense. Thanks —Quantling (talk | contribs) 15:41, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Summary style

You were probably going to do it anyway, but I thought I'll point out the obvious. Since a very substantial segment was copied from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to History of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute it should be tagged with {{Copied}} to provide proper attribution. Also, since this is summary style, the original section should be summarized, not kept as it was. Again, you were probably going to do both anyway, but I thought I'll point it out. --Muhandes (talk) 12:12, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

I think summary style calls for an even shorter section. The current situation repeats quite a bit of data in the two articles. At the minimum, I think both the tables do not belong in summary style, and neither does the "Firsts" section (which seems a bit triviaish as it is) - these are exactly the things an interested reader would go to the main article to read. The other sections can may also be trimmed a bit more. I can have a go at it, but I think you'll do much better job at it than me. --Muhandes (talk) 10:06, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

List of RPI fraternities and sororities

I just came across this article. It's not the way a Wikipedia article should look. More compliant comparably articles are Greek organizations at Washington & Jefferson College and List of fraternities and sororities at Arizona State University, and more can be found at Category:Lists of chapters of United States student societies by college. Do you want to do the dirty work or shall I?   Will Beback  talk  23:59, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. There's no rush. I'll leave it in your hands. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.   Will Beback  talk  21:40, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey guys!

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this.

Speedy deletion nomination of Wayne D. Gray

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.

A tag has been placed on Wayne D. Gray requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Alexf^(talk) 12:29, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Norton's dome

Hi. I was going to create an article on Norton's dome. My first search for the name on Wikipedia found your text at User:Danski14/prep, and I've now used it as a starting text for the article, which I intend to expand later. I have credited you both in the initial edit comment and on the talk page for the article. I hope you don't mind my doing this.

Path integral molecular dynamics

I'm afraid I've identified a copyright problem with your creation of Path integral molecular dynamics, as I've explained on the talk page. It may be necessary to write the article from scratch without copying anything from the "SklogWiki". Are there any other articles where you have copied from SklogWiki?

I'm sorry to have to post this bad news. -- John of Reading (talk) 19:55, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Well, that sucks. I was under the impression CCSA3 was OK, because I've seen other articles that use information from SkLogWiki. Is this a change in policy? I have a writeup about this topic that I wrote myself in LaTeX, but converting it to Wiki format will take some time, so I won't be able to do it now. Maybe in a few months. We could try to get permission from the author on SkLogWiki to re-license it but I'm sort of too busy to try that at the moment, so do what you need to do Danski14^(talk) 20:33, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

CC-SA is good, but CC-NC-SA isn't. I'm sorry I won't be able to help with the rewrite - I just stumbled across the attribution notice while scanning for a particular kind of grammar error. -- John of Reading (talk) 20:39, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Ah, OK, that's what tripped me up I guess. I haven't created any other articles from SkLogWiki. There's one i've been meaning to create, but it will involve just copying some of the equation markup from there, and I plan to write all of the text myself.Danski14^(talk) 20:42, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm here to add insult to injury, I'm afraid. John is right that the licence is not acceptable (it's the "non-commercial" bit that's the stumbling-block), so, as rewriting the content is unfortunately totally beyond me, I've had to remove it instead. I'm truly sorry about that. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:52, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
