User talk:ExtandTor

Welcome!
Hello, ExtandTor, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:09, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

A goat for you!
Thanks for the kitten, and also for your dedication to writing about women in science! Wikipedia needs people like you!

Interested in DYK?
Have you created a new article in the past 7 days, or substantially improved an existing one? Did you discover a really cool and interesting fact that you want to share with the world? You may be able to create a Did you know for Wikipedia's front page! If you're interested, let me know! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:13, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Alicia Prieto Langarica


The article Alicia Prieto Langarica has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "While promising, not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and doesn't pass WP:NSCHOLAR."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi ExtandTor! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

CITEVAR
I see you have been adding SIAM Fellow recognition to many biographies. Thanks for that. However, many of the biographies you have been adding these to use list-defined references (that is, the references are detailed in the reflist template at the end of the article), and are formatted in Citation Style 2 (that is, using the citation template, not the cite web template. These formats differ, in particular in how they punctuate the references. Your edits have used the wrong citation format, and therefore violate WP:CITEVAR. Please be more careful to maintain the consistent citation formatting in articles. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:11, 8 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm using the visual editor automatic citation generator. So that either formats correctly or wikipedia needs to fix it. ExtandTor (talk) 19:18, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Your use of poorly designed tools is a bad excuse for violating CITEVAR. You need to figure out how to fix these edits, or you need to find a kind of editing task to do instead that will not introduce these problems. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:17, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * User:ExtandTor is editing in good faith. We're not all aware of which tools are poorly designed as you are User:David Eppstein.  We need more mathematicians editing Wikipedia pages so we should take care not to discourage or disparage editors. I looked at some of the pages ExtandTor edited and there are many inconsistent citation styles on some of those pages. I made a couple of edits. Mvitulli (talk) 23:43, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Notability
Are you responsible for Meetup/Clemson/Clemson-HON2050-Spring2023? You appear to be the creator of that page, at least.

I am seeing today quite a few new articles that appear to have been created in association with this meetup or course: Keisha Cook, Mimi Dai, Ranthony Edmonds, Nandi Olive Leslie, Karoline Pershell, and Lauren Lynn Rose, at least. About half of those do not appear to meet Wikipedia's notability standards for academics: they are on early-career researchers (assistant professors or postdocs) or people who left academia, who do not have the highly cited publications, major society fellowships (the kind of fellow that means honorary levels of membership given out to recognize well-established researchers, not the kind of fellow that means financial support for a a year of research), etc., that our standards call for.

If it is your responsibility, can you please be more careful in vetting proposed article creations to make sure they are not going to lead to quick deletion nominations and a disappointing experience for the creator? If not, can you pass this message along to whomever actually is responsible, please?

There are many many women in STEM who do meet our standards but do not yet have articles. Increasing visibility for women does not require pushing forward unready and junior academics in this way. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:05, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
