Welcome!
Hello, Lilily, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! &mdash;  Masum Ibn Musa  Conversation 11:57, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Your first article
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Biographies of living persons
 * How to write a great article
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial


 * So what's the problem ?? What page ?? Why don't you just make it better instead of not retaining it ?? Lilily (talk) 23:10, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
 * It's probably best to talk to about that. I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding  to your message. (talk to me) (contributions) @  23:38, 28 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I believe Masum Ibn Musa, while welcoming quite a few users, by accident chose the wrong welcoming template. I assume the article would be the one you created most recently, Carleman's equation, but I don't see any immediate issues with that article (though a little more context could help - why do we care about that equation? Why is it important? Does it appear in physics? Did solving it lead to any further advances? What kind of methods were employed to solve it?). Huon (talk) 00:02, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Proper mathematical notation

 * Right: b − a ≠ 4
 * Wrong: b-a ≠ 4

Please look at WP:MOSMATH. Notice these differences above: This is consistent with what is done in TeX-like systems:
 * The minus sign is not a stubby little hyphen;
 * Spacing precedes and follows it (I've made them non-breakable;
 * Variables are italicized (but digits, like 4, and things like parentheses are not.
 * $$ b-a\ne 4 \, $$

 * Hello, yes, thanks for making it better. I do count on other wikipedians for correcting such things, especially if I don't have the time to do it.
 * And by the way, usually I use scritpstyle math in the text, and then it is really translated by LaTeX, but since that's more work, I usually come back later to do that.
 * Wikipedia is collaborative and evolutive (so I guess I don't have to get everything perfect from the beginning, even if its just style)

Speedy deletion nomination of Operator monotone function


A tag has been placed on Operator monotone function requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.ma.utexas.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Operator_monotone_function. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. &#x2230; Bellezzasolo &#x2721;  Discuss  01:23, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * This looks very much cut/paste to me, and you acknowledge basing this article off the other wiki. However, in the absence of any copyright notice on MWiki, it is default all rights reserved. Consequently, it's a copyright violation to copy it, and much of the structure survives to the current version, so revision deletion wouldn't solve the problem. Even if it were free content, this would still be plagarism. This article needs to be rewritten from the ground up, citing multiple sources. I can help with that. &#x2230; Bellezzasolo &#x2721;   Discuss  01:34, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * If you consider | their FAQ it says "About the philosophy of the site: Who wrote all this? The users of the wiki. Several people. Whom do the pages belong to? Nobody." The article has now been reworked, but your help is welcome if more has to be done. Lilily (talk) 02:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Operator monotone function
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Operator monotone function, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images from either web sites or printed works.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! The issue here being that the website in question does not actually list a copyright policy. We require proof of compatible license. Sending it to CP will give the owners/copyright holders time to clarify this. Additionally, any copied prose requires attribution, which did not happen.
