Your site
Hi. I appreciate your external links about convex optimization, but there is really no need to link to www.stanford.edu/~dattorro/. That link has no value I think, and, well, it smacks of self-promotion to me. I'll remove it (as I did a few times before, and note I was not the only one who thought those links were not appropriate). Thanks. You can reply here.

Euclidean metric
Please do not replace the redirect. Also, it seems that you don't quite understand the topic you are trying to add. `'Míkka 06:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I have drawn this, probably haste, conclusion from your sentence: "Euclidean distance must satisfy the requirements imposed by any metric space". This is a "cart before horse" case. In fact, the exactly opposite holds: the notion of a metric space was introduced by defining it to satisfy a reasonable set of properties originally known to be valid for the Euclidean distance. In other words, "must" is out of place here: it just so happens that the Eucl dist satisfes these properties not because it "must" but because it is proven. On the other hand "any metric space" "must" satisfy them, because it is the very definition, otherwise it will not be metric space. `'Míkka 00:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Warning
Please follow wikipedia agreements, or you will be blocked from editing. `'Míkka 06:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi, there. 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. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name 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 10:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

References to your book
Please don't add reference to your book without using it as a reference as a footnote to the text you added. It is considered self-promotion and spam. If you need help with creating footnotes, see References or ask for help. Please don't forget to attribute mathematical facts to the oruginal authors, rather to your own book. `'Míkka 15:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of warnings
Please don't delete warnings from your talk page without reaction (conforming or expressing disagreement). `'Míkka 16:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Ignoring the Wikipedia guidelines at WP:EL doesn't mean they don't apply. Oli Filth(talk) 18:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oli. I tried to contact you because you do not have email at Wikipedia.  Please email me and I'll send you my number.  --Dattorro 19:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Please be aware that I don't take unsolicited calls from complete strangers on my home phone, especially from those who feel an appropriate way to proceed is to plaster a public forum with my personal details.


 * If you want to discuss Wikipedia issues, then use the talk pages; that's way they're there for! Oli Filth(talk) 19:14, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Oli. There is a misunderstanding.  I am certainly not spamming.  Arbitrator Fred Bauder suggested I speak with you.  (He had previously reverted your undos to some of my edits.)  BTW, You already know me from my published work in Digital Signal Processing.  www.stanford.edu/~dattorro/
 * We share a common interest in audio engineering. I hope we can work things out together, but I'd prefer to speak with you.  --Dattorro 20:55, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * You don't need to call him at home. See what you can do on talk pages. Fred Bauder 22:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Your vandalism under User:70.109.217.17 is inappropriate. Oli Filth(talk) 02:45, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

You have been indefinitely blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below. In particular, it is evident that you have reneged on whatever commitment or undertaking you previously gave (on the basis of which it seems you were previously unblocked by another admin), not to harass or post links to others' personal details. It is apparent that a series of inappropriate postings of an external link to a page on your website containing personal details of another user, which were made from the anon ip addresses and, were either made by you, or at your direction.--cjllw  ʘ  TALK 06:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. --Hu12 (talk) 16:37, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
