License tagging for Image:Mountain crest.GIF
Thanks for uploading Image:Mountain crest.GIF. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 08:09, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Fraktal.JPG
Thank you for uploading Image:Fraktal.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Strangerer (Talk) 06:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * A new license text has been included. All my images have been created by me using random number generators and plot routines in MATLAB. Similar versions are available in some papers in my reference list.--Kjells 07:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Mean information
A tag has been placed on Mean information, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a. If you can indicate how Mean information is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template hangon underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Mean information saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions. Realkyhick 06:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Mean information has been replaced by average information.--Kjells 07:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

small thing in Genetic Algorithms
In the sentence "...through repetitive application of mutation, crossover, and selection operators..." I reverted your addition of the item "inversion". My sense is that this sentence is a broad characterization of basic defining activities of a GA, not an exhaustive list of techniques, so "inversion" should be a subtopic of the mutation topic. That said, I really appreciate the work you are doing on this very difficult page. There is a lot of pushing and pulling, e.g. biologists who think this is a topic of microbiology, historians who think that people who modelled population biology aren't getting enough credit for inventing a nonlinear optimization technique, and current graduate students trying to bump the citation counts of their papers on minutiae. It's really too exasperating for me, and I really hate to butt in only over what's essentially a point of grammar. So if you like it put it back in :-) Pete St.John 16:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Goldberg has simulatd a kind of mutation where evolution takes out a piece of a DNA-sequence, turns it in opposite direction and puts it back again. He calls it "inversion operator" (not used by biologists). This operator is very suitable for the travelling salesman problem. Unfortunately, I could not find this mutation described in the article evolution. But, o. k., I will put "inversion" back in genetic algorithm again.--Kjells 10:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It may be that a single word "inversion" is not sufficient. Perhaps inversion should be introduced under the headline "recombination" with a short description.--Kjells 12:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Gaussian adaptation. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Guy Macon (talk) 19:56, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
