Why did you delete my entry?

I added two people to the page and I posted in the tea room and no one posted that I did something bad or wrong and had references. There is no reason to delete those. Its no wonder the list is so thin, if you are deleting entries without any reason given. I will post to the tea room again re this matter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_disappeared_mysteriously Apriv40dj (talk) 00:12, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Sorry but I think you must have me confused with someone else. I've never edited List of people who disappeared mysteriously. See the history of that page. Regards, Qwfp (talk) 10:23, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

It has been very strange. I posted in the tea house to see if it was ok to create new sections on that page and add people and I got no replies, so I added them, then it got deleted reason cited as "no article about person", so then I created the article and then it was deleted in about 20 minutes or so I posted all reasons and objections and no one read them as far as I know, and I also followed up on each time I got a message saying this or that person deleted your article or entry and that is how your name came to me. It's not like a picked you at random. Maybe its a bug or maybe the person who did it is pretending to be you? However, my point is only that if no one replies, then how can I know that new people can't be added to that list unless they are on Wikipedia to begin with. I only found that out by going on to chat. I don't see why rules are kept secrets. I don't know why this happened it your case, but I only followed up as each message came to my yahoo email with links for me to follow up on the matter. Apriv40dj (talk) 14:01, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation. That's most odd, I can only think it was a glitch somewhere in the notification system as I've never edited List of people who disappeared mysteriously and I don't have the power to delete articles as I'm not an WP:administrator. The best place to discuss what belongs in that list is Talk:List of people who disappeared mysteriously -- I see you've posted something there. You may need to wait a day or two for replies as not everyone looks at their WP:watchlist every day or has email notifications turned on. Regards, Qwfp (talk) 14:13, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Careful, please (pending changes)

Hi there - you recently approved some pending edits on Paul Johnson (American football coach). Those edits added information about a football season that has not yet occurred and won't even start for another four months. An IP reverted most of it and I cleaned out the rest. I just wanted to let you know and ask that you double-check your approvals in the future. Thanks, and have a good day! --ElHef (Meep?) 13:55, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Apologies, I know hardly anything about American football or its seasons. I try to review edits in line with the the WP:Pending changes and WP:Reviewing guidelines, viz.: "The purpose of reviewing is to catch and filter out obvious vandalism and obviously inappropriate edits .. Reviewers do not take responsibility for the correctness of edits they accept. A reviewer only ensures that the changes introduced to the article are broadly acceptable for viewing by a casual reader." Regards, Qwfp (talk) 17:11, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Fair enough. I suppose it's obviously inappropriate to me (who knows quite a bit about American football), but I can understand where you're coming from. I just wanted to bring it to your attention. Thanks! --ElHef (Meep?) 18:47, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

cosmology: photon shift

Dear Editor, Did I violate a wikipedia guideline or what was wrong with my edition on the photon energy? Vsilv (talk) 20:53, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Nothing to do with me! (Maybe there was a glitch in the editor notification system.) Looking at the history of the Physical cosmology page, it appears User:David J Johnson reverted your change because it included a reference to another wikipedia article, and Wikipedia's policy on verifiability says 'Do not use articles from Wikipedia as sources'.

You didn't change it, you added the name Gerard Hall to the 'partner' field of the infobox. The article did not previously name her spouse, and nor should it without a reliable source.

Would you mind looking at Category:Statistician stubs and Category:Statistics stubs? If George E. P.

Can you recover the Critcism if I provide a reliable source?

John Tukey's paper can be found in the journal, Annals of Statistics. Yuanfangdelang (talk) 11:14, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

That would provide a reliable source for Tukey's criticism of optimization in statistics, but you were going far beyond that. It is original research to apply his criticism of optimization to maximum likelihood estimation, or to include your unpublished opinion that "the property of an optimizer defined for sampling data points is not only a statistical function but also a random variable".

As User:Mgnbar suggested on the Talk page for the Statistics article, if you wish to air your own ideas on the web you should do so on "something like the statistics section of Stack Overflow" ,i.e. http://stats.stackexchange.com, not on Wikipedia. Qwfp (talk) 12:27, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

@Yuanfangdelang: since you appear to have a much more extreme opinion than Tukey here - why don't you write a new paper in the Annals of Statistics on this matter? So that the scientific community (and not Wikipedia, which is like talking to a bunch of librarians about your math research!) can study your opinion, evaluate it, review it? You are in the wrong place. HelpUsStopSpam (talk) 07:39, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

I'd disagree - while I'd consider it appropriate to add to the page about the researcher's university as the body primarily responsible for oversight of the researcher's conduct, I don't see it's appropriate for the journal's page when the journal has acted in accordance with the guidelines at Scientific misconduct#Responsibility of journals, e.g. by retracting the paper in question. As an occasional paper referee myself who once attempted to detect fraud by statistical methods, I know that scientific fraud cannot realistically be detected by the journal at the time of publication in many or even most cases, so I don't think isolated incidents are noteworthy in the context of an article about the journal.

Covariance mapping

Following your advice on User_talk:Sandstein/Archives/2019/August I have added sections on "Covariance mapping" and "Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy" on the covariance matrix page and corrected some inconsistent typography and notation in "Block matrices", "Covariance matrix as a parameter of a distribution" and "Estimation" sections. My intention was to visualise the mathematical formulae and make the added sections brief but accessible to a non-specialist. I would appreciate your opinion if I have succeeded.

Cray House Henley-on-Thames

Hi, i questioned how to look up whether the subject was a listed building at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yew Tree Manor and you kindly replied, thanks, including your finding a nearby house. I wonder if you could also look at "Cray House, Henley-on-Thames". This was formerly an article, was deleted by a PROD back in 2010 which I assume was not much noticed, with comment by deleter who is U.S.-based like me: "01:31, 26 July 2010 Nyttend talk contribs deleted page Cray House, Henley-on-Thames (Expired PROD, concern was: I'm unable to find treatment in reliable, independent sources that would satisfy the GNG. Does not appear to be a listed building.)"

I haven't seen the original article which was deleted, and it is not included in List of country houses in the United Kingdom, but it looks to me that the house is or was substantial:

• There is this Ebay item, a 1922 photo that makes it appear quite substantial to me
• There exists this book coverage about it which continues here, so making seven pages out of the book "Small Country Houses of To-Day", perhaps published around 1922? Pages 172-177 or so.
  • There's info about that book here: its author is Lawrence Weaver; it was reprinted or made available in PDF by "Forgotten Books" in 2015. I presume it is out of copyright. Or maybe it is a magazine?
  • A full text in ASCII, poorly scanned, of Small Country Houses of To-Day available at here at archive.org, but I can't find the house in that.

Searching at https://historicengland.org.uk/ as you suggested brings me to a Cray House or two which appear to be completely different based on photos. But I wonder if the Henley-on-Thames one is included in a historic district/area listing, and/or if there are other obvious sources which might be available to develop an article about it. Could you possibly please take a look about it? sincerely, --Doncram (talk) 04:50, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

What was first?

Could you help me translating the statement in the source? It says: "[...]"One Day in September" written from the documentary film of the same name[...]". So, the film came first and the book is based upon the film, right? Or is it more like the interview suggests, that the book continues the story where the film ends? (I ask this in details, because it is wrongly stated in the german WP too, suggesting the film is based upon the book, which seems totally wrong. Also I didn't find any sources explaining the (or even mentioning any) relation of the film and the book.) Thx, Amtiss, SNAFU ? 21:14, 29 January 2020 (UTC) It is about these edits. -- Amtiss, SNAFU ? 21:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Good questions... After some more searching I've found a letter in The Guardian by Kevin Macdonald, the film's director, in which he says "... the book accompanying the film (written by Simon Reeve and published by Faber ) ... was undertaken because we realised there were many aspects of the story we could not include in a 90-minute film." That seems pretty definitive. I'll add it as an additional reference in Simon Reeve (British TV presenter)#One Day in September. --Qwfp (talk) 22:39, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Neil Ferguson (epidemiologist)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Does Language Evolve?

Chomsky says no, and that it simply changes and that evolution is a very different process. It seems you disagree. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SamPepys (talk • contribs) 21:19, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

reference for correction on gordon lightfoot's illness. (you might recognize the author). RH Mulloy MD

Gordon said: “It was a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm which was the official term. I was about to perform a concert in Orillia and was airlifted to the hospital near Ontario where I was in a coma for six weeks. I was –for all purposes – dead. It took 28 pints of blood to get me through, and to celebrate I did have a glass of red wine afterward…only one glass, mind!” 2001:56A:7E20:7D00:70ED:5B86:570C:64E9 (talk) 13:00, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Bodyform

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 Draft:Bodyform, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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.

@NmWTfs85lXusaybq I see from the edit history that I created a redirect from this title almost 14 years ago, but can honestly say I have no memory of doing so. I do not consider it is worthy of a separate article myself. I do not wish to participate in the deletion discussion, however. Qwfp (talk) 05:43, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, this notification was sent automatically by Twinkle. Now I learn that this draft was created by an IP editor. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 10:04, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
