Symmetric matrix
Hallo! I wish to talk a bit about the article symmetric matrices, of which you are one main contributor. Recently you put an "inline citations needed" tag. In fact, adding some more quotations should be really well done. So, when you have time, will you be more explicit and pinpoint each place that needs a citation? I've also some hints; let's work this out. Thanks! Cheers, --pm a (talk)  13:16, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not really the man for this. I don't have any books on linear algebra or matrix theory and so can't give any explicit references. What I do know is that the article doesn't have a single in-line citation. For example, there is a references subsection which cites a text. The article doesn't use in-line citation to tell us where this text is used. I haven't read this text so have no idea what it contains. I was hoping that someone could come along and leave a few in-line citations here and there to back up what's written in the article. All the best and happy new year!

 * OK, I'll look for some references sometimes. A happy and great new year to you too! --pm a (talk)  11:34, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Viacheslav V. Nikulin


The article Viacheslav V. Nikulin has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No indication that this meets WP:PROF

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

 * I have already improved the article to address the issues raised: I have added verifiable third party confirmation that the subject of the article is worthy of inclusion per criterion 5 of WP:PROF. Even before then, an admin denied your PROD and removed the template. To be honest, if PROD failed then CSD has no chance. I now consider this matter closed. I will continue to update the article as and when time permits. Dr Dec  (Talk)  15:50, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Niko Bellic
I apologize for coming off as rude in my response, but my comment about notability was only to secondary characters, saying that they should not be deleted just because they are secondary. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

 * I thank you for your apology. Please read my post in context. My comment followed this post which seems to be saying that if secondary characters have their own articles then Niko Bellic, a primary character, should definitely have his own article. Part of my post was a reply to this, and was to say that that is not a valid argument. It just goes to show that the articles about secondary characters should themselves be deleted or merged. My opinion was that the article was of poor quality, lacked substance and was not encyclopedic. It had nothing to do with notability, either of Niko Bellic nor secondary characters.

 * Ah, I see. Well, glad to have that out of the way. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 03:26, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
