University of Akron College of Business Administration
Many other pages, such as the one for the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Business Administration cite sources from internal websites. In fact, on this page, there are 6 citations from the school website, with only two from external sites. I will be adding more, later, but I currently have 3 external references for the University of Akron College of Business Administration page. I think as long as the U of Illinois-Chicago page does not have the notability banner, the Akron one should not have it either. JEN9841 (talk) 19:18, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Please assume good faith in this incident. I've been patrolling WP:RCP and after about 60 edits, I got tired of doing it manually and so I looked for one of the many tools available to see if I could get it to work.  Some tools require permission and/or rollback rights which I do not currently have.  I turned to Adam1213/warn, which states the following:


 * ... Add the username that you want to warn and click warn. Save the talk page. For a template to put in your own userpage, go here


 * I must've automatically assumed I was on the talk page when I clicked save, per above... but to my surprise I accidentally created a new article! ouch.  Definitely didn't intend to do that.  While the initial instructions might want to be more clear, I still should have investigated its use a bit more.  CaptainMorgan (talk) 10:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Stack Overflow article
Hey CaptainMorgan, In reply to your note on the Stack Overflow talk page, I have a couple of links-one which is about them receiving 3 million visitors in one month & another one about the launch. I'm pretty busy at the moment, so can't add them properly. Just thought I'd let you know so if you have time/feel like it you can. Otherwise I'll get round to it! Thanks. dottydotdot (talk) 16:47, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Spencer Pratt has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

 * The edit would have been bore clear if you had put a edit summary. I cannot tell an editor's intentions unless they happen to put an edit summary. For now ignore the warning. By the way, if a link is dead, you may put deadlink which scows up as . Cheers,  The New  Mikemoral  ♪♫ 23:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Your request for rollback
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback may be removed at any time.

University of Massachusetts WikiProject
I noticed that you have attended the University of Massachusetts Lowell. You are welcome to join the WikiProject University of Massachusetts at your own convenience. If you have any questions for me, I will respond as soon as possible. Your participation is appreciated. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 16:36, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you're majoring in, but i'm in Political Science and am currently bored out of my mind in Leitch right now. Thanks for joining though, as I now have some legitimacy in this project. By the way, there is a new project for Lowell out there as well. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 18:54, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Michael Bay - Link Rot?
Sorry about the mess. Trying to fix that but I just got a new puppy! The links should still work, though?? The Red Queen (talk) 23:52, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I have updated the URLs at Michael Bay to the best of my knowledge. Please let me know if this is sufficient. Thanks! The Red Queen (talk) 06:23, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:49, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject C-SPAN?
Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor -

I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in C-SPAN. (I may have made this assumption based on your C-SPAN user box, or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message.

If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN WikiProject?

The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):


 * Creation, maintenance, and improvement of articles and lists directly related to C-SPAN and its programming.
 * Use of C-SPAN programming in citations for various topics
 * Inclusion of unique and targeted C-SPAN video links for various articles. (Doing this with respect for established guidelines at External links.) (Example: If you are interested in the submarine USS Wyoming (SSBN-742), then having easy access to the eight hours of programming taped while a C-SPAN crew were guests on that submarine could also be of interest to you.)
 * Inclusion of (and possible further creation of) templated links such as, that will easily take article readers to a link of all C-SPAN Video Library links for the person about whom the article is about.
 * What else?

I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe (as I have long noted on my user page) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...

"...fantastic vehicles for the free exchange of ideas and information in a non-sound-bite manner, and they both invite the participation of any parties (expert or amateur) who are interested in taking the time to absorb and/or contribute to the ideas and information offered. C-SPAN and Wikipedia go together like peanut butter and jelly, and I want to help give other Wiki users easy access to the great work that C-SPAN has done on a variety of topics."

Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?, as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page.

Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

Edit-a-thon in Amherst
Hi! We are working with staff at Hampshire College to organize a Wikipedia edit-a-thon there for the Meetup/ArtandFeminism 2015 events taking place March 7th and 8th. Would you be interested in being a local Wikipedia contact and perhaps also facilitating a training at their event? If no, do you know of any Wikipedians in the Amherst area that might be interested in helping out? Cheers! OR drohowa (talk) 19:02, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Both Tonelli-Shanks and Cipolla's modular square root algorithms can handle powers of prime modula (not just primes)
I looked up Dickson's History of Numbers vol 1 p215(Tonelli) and p218(Cipolla) and Dickson clearly shows that both modular square root algorithms can handle powers of prime modula (whereas the Wiki articles say they can only do prime modula).

I've updated the TALK pages of both articles with the relevant Dickson math, along with numeric runthroughs with Mathematica code.

However, I am not a professional mathematician so I hesitate to update the articles.

Perhaps yourself, or someone else in the Computer science field could update the relevant articles with this information from Dickson.

The articles in question are:


 * Tonelli–Shanks algorithm


 * Cipolla's algorithm
