MFCCs
Hi - thanks for your edit to the Mel frequency cepstral coefficient article. You're right that MFCCs don't include any kind of loudness modelling, but why do you say "unlike the sonogram"? I don't know of any meaning of "sonogram" that includes loudness or outer-ear modelling. "Sonogram" usually just refers to a spectrogram, which simply shows log-magnitude from fourier transforms. --mcld 10:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

The sonogram "estimates the loudness sensation per frequency band using auditory models. The main components are (1) outer-ear model, (2) critical-band rate scale (Bark-scale), (3) spectral masking, and (4) Sone" according to Elias Pampalk. --Karl MacDorman 17:06, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

SEQUAM
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article SEQUAM, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of SEQUAM. docboat (talk) 05:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

July 2021
Hello, Macdorman. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to research published by a small group of researchers.

Scientific articles should mainly reference review articles to ensure that the information added is trusted by the scientific community.

Editing in this way is also a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest in Wikipedia – please see WP:SELFCITE and WP:MEDCOI. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM) and the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

Finally, please be aware that the editing community highly values expert contributors – please see WP:EXPERT. I do hope you will consider contributing more broadly. If you wish to contribute, please first consider citing review articles written by other researchers in your field and which are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite your own research, please start a new thread on the article talk page and add requestedit to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.
