Speedy deletion nomination of Ed Remson


A tag has been placed on Ed Remson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Hiya. I am not getting at you. I am trying to help. I see it has been mentioned a few times. I made you a legal version that should be short enough to fit (you'll have to add the date using the forth tilde though (also templates (not just images) aren't allowed). M Magister Scienta talk Pretty close. You might want to change a few things of course. You can simply delete it and tell me to "typically metal device used for fixing materials to each other using principals devised by Archimedes" myself if you like. I'm really just trying to help. fgt c 03:44, 6 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I see what your saying, and I do appreciate the concern, but I've taken great care to make sure my signature works 100% of the time and that it isn't obtrusive. Also, through my many correspondences with admins recently, none have had an issue with it. Nonetheless, I will reevaluate the contents of my signature Again thanks.. MagisterScientaEmblem.png Magister Scienta talk  (6 November 2011) 


 * That is entirely up to you. I have no issue with using images at all. Consider my suggestion a possible fall-back in case you ever need one. Until then I would carry on using your present one. very classy it is too. Great work with getting the IP version of Welcome-to-Wikipedia up and running so fast by the way. Is really coming along nicely! fgt c 13:36, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Magister Scienta
A tag has been placed on Magister Scienta, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DASHBot (talk) 23:01, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Images aren't allowed in signatures. There are some css hacks somewhere you can use to make a "fake circle", rather than an image. → Σ  τ  c. 08:19, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

AIV report declined
Thank you for making a report about on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 23:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

November 2011
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Creating redirects from  mainspace to  your user page  as you  did at  Magister Scientais  is explicitly  disallowed by  Wikipedai policy  Please remember that  Wikipedia is not  a social  networking  site. Avoiding errors such  as this helps everyone understand the intention of your edits (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). Thank you. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:17, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Oops! I just  realised who  you  are. I think you  just  shot  yourself in  the foot ;) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:27, 7 November 2011 (UTC)


 * No, I didn't shoot mysel in the foot. I created the redirect because there clearly won't ever be a page called Magister Scienta and I wanted to make it easier for other editors to get tom e me for editorial questions. MagisterScientaEmblem.png Magister Scienta talk  (9 November 2011) 


 * I fully  appreciate that  you  may  not  have been aware of this strict  policy -  some of our most  important  policies are neither evident  nor  easy  to  find. Don't  hesitate to  ask  me on  my  talk  page for help  or advice  on  anything at  any  time. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:53, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, declined your speedy on that. You can't A7 a fictional character. You can do other things to them, but not that one. It's a real publisher, too, not self-publishing. Could be notable. Peridon (talk) 18:33, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Welcoming committee
Hi MS. Your work on  page patrolling  and your contributions to the welcoming  project  are thoughtful and commendable. Your ideas for templates that address younger users are excellent and I'm  sure they'll go  down well  if they  are used -  we most  certainly  do  need to  encourage young  users to  feel  at  home here and to  make good edits and reasonable new pages. However, a lot of them  don't -  but  that  doesn't  mean they  are all  vandals. You've patrolled 32 pages; I've patrolled around 10,000 and physically deleted over 1,500 of them. I see what arrives here, and around  a quarter of those deletions are from kids who  are writing  silly  stories à  la FaceBook  about their friends or about themselves. Those stories aren't vandalism  in  the true sense, but  unfortunately, we make it  too  easy  for anyone to  create pages here,  and that's why  New Page Patrol is so  important. I've been a member of the welcoming committee for a long  time, and I've designed some welcome templates too - and  I  certainly  share the opinions of those who  agree that  welcome template for different  kinds of users is a very  good idea. However, it's not always easy  to  know how old new users are, especially  if they  haven't  made a user page, so  we really  need to  be very  careful whom we give which  templates to. If we don't, it's best  to  play  safe and use a neutral  one. Keep the ideas coming, and please help  out  on  NPP  as much  as you  can :) Happy  editing!--Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Understood. Thank you for such a warm message and I hope to continue working with you (and the rest of the Welcoming committee) to improve Wikipedia. Cheers, MagisterScientaEmblem.png Magister Scienta talk  (14 November 2011)

please see The subject had this wikipedia entry already on cs.wikipedia for a while - clearly notable - i hope you agree Standard2211 (talk) 23:10, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Signature again
It's been over a week since I asked you to remove the image from your signature, yet you still have not complied with the signature guidelines. Again, there are CSS hacks you can use to make a "fake circle". Please do something soon. → Σ  τ  c. 02:07, 16 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Can you please explain or show me some of those CSS "hacks." Thanks. -Magister


 * M for instance. → Σ  τ  c . 04:07, 16 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you, can you give me a little time to perfect it before I change my sig. Thanks. MagisterScientaEmblem.png Magister Scienta talk  (16 November 2011) 


 * Is this signature acceptable? User:Magister Scienta  Magister Scienta talk  (16 November 2011) 


 * Templates are not allowed in signatures. → Σ  τ  c . 00:30, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Also, please be aware that your current signature, as seen here is 491 characters long, which exceeds the established length limit of 255 characters. Please trim it down to meet the length limit. Thank you. jcgoble3 (talk) 05:20, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Removing the inline HTML comments would help. Also, it's appreciated if you could include the timestamp, not just the datestamp, in your comments. I don't know if it's policy or not, but IMO it probably should be to include the timestamp, because that can be important to have when following a fast-moving discussion. Gary King  ( talk  ·  scripts )  14:48, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, I got rid of all the comments, deleted that date part of the signature, and it is now much slimmer. However, I believe I'm allowed to keep on substituting User:Magister Scienta/MySig per #4 of this. Thanks for helping me with the signature, cheers,  M    Magister Scienta talk 15:46, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Better, but you're still at 321 characters. You need to cut another 66 characters from it. jcgoble3 (talk) 15:52, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * How about that? As far as I can tell, there is no policy that prevents what I did.   Magister Scienta talk 15:57, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is a policy against that; transclusion of templates is prohibited. You've already been told that above. jcgoble3 (talk) 16:43, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * How about that? It is 215 characters and does not transclude a single template. Cheers,  M    Magister Scienta talk 19:56, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Still 321. It's not the amount of code on the signature template page that counts, but rather the amount of code dumped onto a talk page when you sign a comment. Your signature immediately above still contains 321 characters, which is too long. It may be the case that it is simply impossible to retain the current look of your signature without breaking the rules regarding length, templates, and images, in which case you will simply have to drop something from your signature. jcgoble3 (talk) 20:34, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * All right, if this isn't acceptable, I don't know what it is. Cheers, Magister Scienta talk 20:38, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * That's perfectly acceptable at 146 characters. Thank you for being cooperative in this. jcgoble3 (talk) 22:05, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. Thank you for your friendliness throughout. Cheers, Magister Scienta talk 23:11, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

speedy
Information Processing and Management is a journal, not a company, and thus not eligible for speedy a7. (the company that published it is Elsevier), Additionally, it meets the notability requirements for academic journals, which is to be included in the major indexes (It is included in Journal Citation Report, which means it is automatically included in Web of Science. You might be interested in [Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals]].   DGG ( talk ) 05:23, 18 November 2011 (UTC)


 * You're right. Sorry about that, I got a little sloppy.  M    Magister Scienta talk  (18 November 2011) 

I am not sure if this article belongs on wikipedia for reasons of notability - please review and decide. Standard2211 (talk) 20:49, 18 November 2011 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, per WP:BASIC, since this article is referenced by creditable secondary sources (e.g. New York Times) in a substantive way, this article meets notability standards and does indeed have a place in Wikipedia. This is an interesting question, and notability of people is always somewhat grey, if you disagree with me you can look for a consensus for deletion here. Thanks for asking, cheers,  M    Magister Scienta talk  (18 November 2011)
