Happy editing!

Great work on Maróczy Gambit! I'm actually somewhat surprised we didn't have an article on it before; usually our coverage of openings is fairly thorough. Have a good time, and let me or the friendly Teahouse people know if you have any questions. One thing: when you're citing books it's good to give page numbers. You can do something as simple as, along with Smith's book in the Bibliography section. There are templates specialized to the task, for example sfn, but that's probably for later.

Zipf's Law
Hi Justin, I noticed that you appear to have the same name as the author of the paper on Zipf's law's applicability to genlangs that was cited in your edit to the Zipf's Law page. If you are in fact the same person, your edit would seem to violate the Wikipedia policy on Conflicts of Interest. Additionally, preprints such as articles on arXiv are not considered Reliable Sources and should generally only be used as open-access links to articles that have subsequently been published in acceptable literature (which I don't believe is the case here, but feel free to correct me on that). As such I have reverted your change.

I noticed that you also introduced a citation to another arXiv article by the same author on the page for Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe. I am less well-versed in game theory (let alone Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe) and the information is more embedded in surrounding discussion, so I am not able to remove it myself, but would suggest you discuss how best to handle it with other editors on the talk page there.

If you believe I have acted inappropriately, given Wikipedia's guidelines, feel free to reply either here or on that talk page. Tristanjlroberts (talk) 16:51, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Neal protocol moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Neal protocol. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. WhoAteMyButter (🌷talk│🌻contribs) 03:32, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
