A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Quirkasaurus. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Diego (talk) 16:55, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Marsh-Mallow, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pascal.Tesson 22:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Poker primes
I reverted your edits to List of prime numbers because I couldn't find any mention of "poker primes" in Wikipedia or elsewhere. Do you have sources? Even if somebody has used this term, I doubt it's notable enough to mention in the list. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:58, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry it took me years to notice this, but I saw that reversion. Yes, I discovered these primes myself, so they wouldn't be mentioned anywhere. I think they have as much relevance as many of the prime sets, such as "additive" primes, "cousin" primes, "emirps", etc... and can see no true objectivity about "notable-enough". It was interesting to me enough to produce them anyways.

Adding code to articles
Hi, Quirkasaurus. I'm afraid I had to revert your addition of a program to demonstrate the Monty Hall problem, as it is considered original research which is against the guidelines. Unless the sample code is a short snippet to demonstrate some facet of the syntax of a programming language, constructed examples are not allowed; algorithms need to be based on an implementation published by a reliable source - among other things, to show that they work as intended. You can see that the example for the 8 queens problem is referenced to Niklaus Wirth.

Oh, and we never ever sign our contributions at the articles themselves in this wiki. The attribution or our edits can be located at the article history. Diego (talk) 17:02, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
