Let's discuss my inputs.

Images/optics
Hi Npettiaux,

You wrote:
 * "You created beautiful pictures in commons.wikipedia.org for physics (optics). I think it would be intereresting to have also the source to manipulate / modify the picture, and know which (hopefully) free software you have used to create it. THanks anyway."

Sorry for answering so late, I was without access to Wikipedia... Well, I created the pictures in Inkscape, and I had the SVG code of all them, but I can't send them before wednesday because they are in my other computer (about 200 miles from where I'm now). If you're still interested, I could send a message to you as soon as I post the code of the images.

Again, sorry. Cheers, Marcelo R. 19:12, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Audiveris (Java)


A tag has been placed on Audiveris (Java), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Audiveris (Java) and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hairhorn (talk) 22:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Copyright
You wrote: "i have not yet written to the authors but I suppose that their description of this software that I copied is under a licence that is compatible with wikipedia." Sorry, that is absolutely the wrong way round, "suppose" is not good enough, you must not copy anything into Wikipedia unless it is public-domain, or the source clearly states that it is released under a compatible license (which requires much more than permission to reproduce), or a release has first been made as described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials. This page is actually labelled "Copyright © 2006 - 2010 SoftSea.com. All rights reserved", but absence of a copyright notice would not have meant anything - see Copy-paste. In fact, it is usually better to write in your own words, because material written for other purposes is very likely to be too promotional for Wikipedia, which requires a neutral point of view.

Project Euler solutions
The fact that some people put solutions to Project Euler solutions on the web, doesn't make these pages good links, because those solution pages are contary to the spirit of Project Euler. Moreover, there exist solution pages in several programming languages. I'm not sure why Python should be the solution pages that need to be linked to. Hkleinnl (talk) 23:42, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Suzanne Yoakum
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Suzanne Yoakum, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://imintel.org/about-us/.

Proposed deletion of Suzanne Yoakum


The article Suzanne Yoakum has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non notable person, doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO or WP:PROF.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for July 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nicolas Pettiaux, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Evanston. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

French Physicists
Hi, I work on the new page log and I saw that you just wrote a tone of one-line stubs about french physicists. Some of them look OK, but the one's where you only use initials rather than names are almost certain to be deleted by someone. I suspect many of the people you write about are important, but because you use initials rather than names, we can't verify that as easily. I suspect many new page patrol users will simply delete the page rather than do the work needed to follow up. Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of R. Blatt


A tag has been placed on R. Blatt 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will be removed shortly (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article.

Physicists reply.
The best way I've found to keep a short article around is to make it as clear as possible what the information is and why it's significant. Change all of your names with initials into full names, mark them all as stubs so that they can be sorted into categories quickly. Next step would be to make sure there are plenty of blue links in whatever prose you've written and to add a citation at the bottom. Many of these people are alive today and wikipedia generally doesn't like to see BLP (biography of a living person) without any citations. Also check to make sure your page isn't an orpahn. I'm going to pick one of your articles that has been prodded and try to save it. If I'm successful, then I'll show you which article and you can use it as a form to try and work on the other articles. Happy Editing! Ryan shell (talk) 18:50, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Update- I've chosen Olivier Pfister to try and work on. I think the edits I've made will save the article for now.
