License tagging for Image:Kerneldensityestimation.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Kerneldensityestimation.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Parzen window

Hi. You moved Parzen window to Kernel density estimation by cut&paste, which is not a good idea since it destroys the page history. For now, I undid your move. I wonder if you could comment at talk:Parzen window as to why Kernel density estimation is a better name for that article. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sig

Just a note. When writing comments on talk, it is good to sign them with four tildas, like this: ~~~~. Small thing, but makes a difference. :)

I replied at Talk:Parzen window. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

One more note. It is nice if you could use edit summaries when you contribute. It helps others to understand what you changed. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regression analysis: proposed lead

Dear Gpeilon: I see that you are a recent contributor to Regression analysis. Would you consider giving an opinion for or against the following Talk:Regression analysis#Proposed lead? The reasons are listed there. My thanks. --Thomasmeeks 03:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your responding, Gpeilon. With continuing improvements in Regression analysis, those with a deep knowledge and understanding of statistics like yourself are taking a sustained interest in the article -- all to the good. I didn't comment on that Talk, b/c I think discussion there is effectively closed as to the immediate use of that section (with the posting of the new Edits in the article lead), but of course discussion can continue in the Talk section there.

Please indulge these thoughts. My hope is that the WP:LEAD guidelines would be rigorously respected, including providing necessary context. The lead would be "as simple as possible (but no simpler)." An expanded Introduction (section 1) could take exposition to the next level. Your comment agrees in general with that of User:Ioannes Pragensis expressed in the top half of that section ("Proposed lead"), 2nd to last paragraph, and with my own thinking, as reflected in the the beautiful treatment of D.V. Lindley, "Regression and correlation analysis," New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics, v. 4, p. 120, 2nd para. (of pp. 120-23). If most prospective readers of "Regression analysis" had the same background as most readers of Lindley's entry, your suggestion would certainly belong in the lead. But Wiki readers are, I believe, a much more diverse group. I believe that many of them may know only a little or, yes, less than a little. Still, they want and deserve to learn more (for example, by being enticed by a beautiful, simple lead into reading further into a beautifully written Introduction). That's an argument for including your suggestion in section 1 "Introduction," which clearly needs to be significantly expanded for readability anyhow.

One suggestion might be this:

Someone (you?) writes an additional paragraph (or 2 or ...) for consideration on the Talk page along the lines you suggest.

Depending on length and complexity, that makes it easier to see where that fits better in the lead or section 1. Welcome (back). Many happy returns of the day. --Thomasmeeks 15:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CSD nomination of File:Toulouse location.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Toulouse location.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ww2censor (talk) 00:18, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the map because it looked identical to the google maps image. Even if you cut and pasted a piece of Google Maps, it is not a public domain image, but copyrighted by Google or someone else. Can you explain - you can explain here on your talk page Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:19, 12 May 2009 (UTC):[reply]

Well I created it using My maps in Google maps so I guess it is not good then. How can I create a map free of rights for Wiki?Gpeilon (talk) 02:26, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can draw it all by hand - a lot of work, or you can find some other free map, perhaps in Wikipedia or wikipedia commons, or an old map that has gone into the public domain, and then you can edit it in a picture editor. One source is satellite photos from NASA, which are released to the public domain. For example Grou Map is one I drew by hand mostly but pasted an aerial photo from the wikipedia commons to make a background. Also look in commons:Category:Maps of France to see if there is anything good for you there. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:46, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Martin Mitchell

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Martin Mitchell, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Subject has not played first-grade rugby league football, and thusly does not fulfil the criteria agreed to by WikiProject Rugby League. Subject does not fulfil notability criteria otherwise.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Franco-German History Coursebook

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Franco-German History Coursebook, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://eduscol.education.fr/D0156EN/all-manuel-franco-allemand.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Gpeilon! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 178 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Sébastien Payan - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Martin Mitchell - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Please consider Wikipedia:Canvassing#Votestacking

When I informed users. I informed in a neutral way everyone involved in the discussions. Those for and thoses against my position. Informing a select few can be seen as a breech of Votestacking Gnevin (talk) 20:14, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Your undo of edit to Toulouse Olympique squad template

The templates are, or should be used on every Rugby League article now on Wikipedia. Whether it is aesthetically attractive to you or not, it is now commonplace on Wikipedia articles. The "old" lists should now be placed on 2010 results pages. The template must remain, if you would like more information contact either Lunar Lander or Ginger Warrior.

Thanks,

Call for consensus/conclusion to current Ireland rugby union team icon

Hello, I am contacting you because you have been an active participant in the recent discussion on icon to be used for Ireland rugby union. I have tried to summarise the many strands and come to a conclusion based on what I perceive the consensus to be in this section - Summary of Ireland Flag discussion and suggested consensus conclusion. To move the issue to a conclusion I am asking all participants who have signed the discussion to read my summary and comment on the validity of the approach I have advocated, before the issue goes cold. I am keen that the enormous efforts of all contributors results in a tangible conclusion on this occasion.Kwib (talk) 16:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Featherstone RUFC

Hi, I notice that you have made contributions to the Featherstone article. The current rugby league club, Featherstone Rovers, wasn't founded until 1902, and appears to have no links to the earlier rugby union (RU) club. However, I have contributed to an article about James "Jimmy" Metcalfe, and I have found details of him playing for Yorkshire (RU) in 1896/7 while playing at Featherstone (RU), would you have any information about the RU club of the 1800s in Featherstone.

Image copyright problem with File:Championship.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Championship.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Proposed new EU introduction

Hello, on the EU talk page I have made a proposal for a new introduction for the EU that I believe summaries the EU better and makes it more engaging. I would be grateful for any constructive feedback. My hope is to have the page become a featured article and contribute to Project European Union as a whole. --Erzan (talk) 14:20, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 08:56, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
