I removed your additional links to http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu, I don't think they were necessary (the link already appears earlier on the same line). Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Small note
It would be nice if you could use the "preview button" and the edit summary when you contribute. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:02, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Kawautar. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Autar Kaw, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Longhair\talk 14:47, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Autar Kaw.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Autar Kaw.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Runge's phenomenon, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 02:35, 20 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Got it. Did not think about the google ads. Can I add the direct simulation links. See example of link here https://nm.mathforcollege.com/nmsims/05INP/05INP_Runges_Phenomenon/runges-phenomenon_en.html  It has no ads. Yes, it is my work, but who better to contribute who has taught the Numerical Methods course about 70 times now! Kawautar (talk) 14:57, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I understand that, and I saw you say that somewhere else, and as a university professor I know that you know this--but the fact remains that these videos are not peer-reviewed like journal articles are, they're purely a titre personnel, and thus they fall foul of WP:EL, specifically WP:NOBLOGS--you may well be an expert, but those links do not make that clear in an objective and verifiable way. In addition, I'm not even bothered by the ads so much; the "promotion" problem is not a financial matter. Linking your own videos is drawing attention to your own videos, to put it simply. That's also promotion. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 16:30, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

June 2022
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Secant method. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 02:44, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * If someone is taking your edits out, isn't that edit war on part of the other party. Why are they not being threatened with being blocked.  Does not make sense to me.  Please explain! Kawautar (talk) 03:00, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

You said, "I have filed a dispute resolution!", but a. that is not a good excuse to continue edit warring; b. you haven't even commented on the talk page, or the editor's talk page; c. you have not posted at Dispute resolution. And don't start now: discuss on the talk page first. Your opponent did that already. Drmies (talk) 02:47, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I am trying my best to be informative. If one is editing someone else's contribution, be courteous and not simply dismissive. That does not help anyone. I will try one more time to make the example somewhere in between what I think is right and what D.Lazarus suggests. But it is all subjective. Dont we want to reach the masses! 47.197.47.77 (talk) 02:51, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The edits are not even controversial but matter of style! By that token, if there are 100 editors who will see my edits, and if I do not meet one person's subjectiveness, it is a total loss! 47.197.47.77 (talk) 02:53, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
