Re welcome

Hi! Thank you for your welcome message :)

I was wondering if you'd be able to forward a suggestion (concerning the welcome template you posted on my talk page via Twinkle) - Specifically the "please sign your comments..." bit. At the first glance it sounded like I'd forgotten to sign something. I think the following would make more sense and sound more friendly: "You can discuss any article by going to its talk page. If you post on a talk page, please make sure you sign your comments! You can do this by...". Now, since I'm not new to mediawiki, this might end up making things worse for new users, I don't know :P. Do with the feedback as you will! Cheers again :) --134.225.160.10 (talk) 23:14, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shammi Thilakan, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Phantom (film), Sultan (film) and Ayudham. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The cumulative density function

Just wondering, on what evidence, reference did you base your assumption that the Cumulative density function is a self-contradictory phrase resulting from confusion between: probability density function, and cumulative distribution function.

The two words cumulative and density contradict each other.

Do you have evidence or reference that I can go to?

Thanks

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews

Hello Rijinatwiki. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).
