Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ronald R.

 * You claimed in your edit summaries that is public domain. Why do you believe so? Max Semenik (talk) 20:21, 27 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Reply to MaxSem: In my edit summaries in Ronald R. Yager, I stated that "Yager's bio for many conferences and lectures is in public domain". You can see the same bio appearing in other conferences such as http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/archives/2011/newyork/speaker-profiles.php#ronald-yager.  I further provide neutral and reliable sources from IEEE and Google Scholars on Yager's accomplishments. Do you have any other suggestions to improve?  Thanks.User:MachintasMACHINTAS 21:08, 27 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. Just finding something on the internet does not mean it is in the public domain (which is a specific term meaning nobody owns the copyright of it). In fact, that example you gave clearly states it is copyrighted at the bottom of the page (though that is not necessary - it would be considered copyrighted unless stated otherwise). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:11, 27 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi All: Yager himself provided his bio to be used in many public conferences and public speaking. There are several conference websites using this same public bio, including the ones that I sent.  Furthermore in my edits on Ronald R. Yager, I have provided references to IEEE and Google Scholar, which are neutral and reliable sources to validate his accomplishments as stated in his bio. I really don't think that there's any copyright issues here.  But if this is a concern and that I'm wrong, I respectfully ask an administrator to unblock me so that I can write a new bio section (referencing neutral and reliable sources). Thanks.

To Machintas: I'm new to wiki editing myself, but I think why you keep getting the warning tag needing more citations for your Yager article (and the related tag about "possible original research") is that you need to insert references to secondary sources into the text of the article, to support your statements of fact. Use the little function button at the top of the editing page that looks like a book (6th from the left, right after the "chain" that lets you add links). And look for sources independent from the subject himself - e.g., sources other than his cv, where possible. I found some and put them in; probably you can find a lot more than I can!

Creating and Editing the Article on Ronald Yager
I work closely with Ron Yager. I am aware of Wikipedia's content policies (Neutral point of view, No original research, and Verifiability) and I will abide by them. My interest in writing this article is to provide information about a pioneering researcher in the field of fuzzy logic and computational intelligence. Ms.Entropy 22:47, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
