The filter could not distinguish the word "Bass" from the word "ass". It's fixed now. Thanks for letting us know. Someguy1221 (talk) 19:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

October 2022
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

 * I read that point and realize that creation of personal pages is not viewed as reasonable. HOWEVER, as a Fellow of the American Physical Society, there is a stub article with my name on it.
 * List of American Physical Society Fellows (1998–2010)
 * I was informed by someone who offered to write a page for me for a fee a couple of years ago since I was elected a fellow. I declined, but since I was writing a blurb for an introduction to a discussion panel today, decided to see if I could write a fairly neutral page.  I don't see the advantage of paying someone for a fairly quick barebones description.  I modeled after a couple of similar pages from the Fellows list.
 * If those stub links on the APS Fellows page do not qualify for a Wikipedia page, that is fine and not a big deal.

 * Hi Shannahs, thank you for your response. You are right, you should not pay someone to write a Wikipedia article. Not only is it frowned upon, but it is also a waste of money as they cannot control what gets deleted or added. As a Fellow of the APS you technically qualify for an article but my response was that there weren't enough reliable sources. We require reliable in-depth sources for Biographies of living persons and the sources you cited just weren't enough (one was even Google Scholar). I did a quick google search and cannot find much. This is OK! Sometimes, it's not a good idea to have a Wikipedia article. I would recommend walking away from this. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 13:30, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Not sure what you mean by "Quick Google search".  I would say that most of my on line references do not use my middle initial.  I am not active on most popular social media which is true but hardly a qualification.
 * Is Google Scholar looked down upon? It is an ok summary of my academic output.  The Web of Science is a better reference, but not generally available.  I can pull out specific highly cited papers if that is what you are looking for.  But those academic publications are probably not what generally folks go to wikipedia to see.  I have a couple of papers that are cited over a hundred times and over 4,000 citations in total.  This is the criteria we use in promotion and estimate of intellectual impact.
 * Looking at reliable in-depth sources it seems that references to Nature articles or Physical Review Letters articles may be what is needed?
 * If I look at my colleague Junchiro Kono, I see something fairly equivalent to the page I submitted.
 * Junichiro Kono or just picking a nearby fellow from the same year Dan Shapira. (NOTE, I am NOT trying to get their pages removed) Just in trying to understand the criteria that are applied.
 * If I look at the Criteria for such a page. Notability (academics) It seems that the designation of Distinguished University Scholar would also qualify (It is scholar since my position is contract supported and not tenured) which is equivalent to Distinguished University Professor. I admit that I don't have the reputation of Carl Sagan, but I am known internationally in my field.  Which googling my name will not reveal anymore than most of the APS Fellows.

 * Just noticed, that my colleague Gang Cao also cites Google Scholar. I was just looking at pages for many of the folks I work with trying to see a big difference.
 * Is Google Scholar looked down upon and why? I also cite ORCID but that is not as complete for several reasons. Shannahs (talk) 21:35, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Shannahs! GS isn't looked down upon per se but they tend to give people higher h-indexes than they should have. Yes, the academic output is important but we really want 3 in-depth articles about the subject (you) to pass our general notability criteria. You used one article from FSU news, which is great, but see if you can find outside sources too. GS is one way that I find academics to write about but I only cite it in the external links. Also, everything needs to be sourced and you did not provide any for the information in the article. As can be seen in Shapira's article, inline citations are needed to show that everything is verifiable and accurate. Please Ping me like you did the first time to let me know you've responded.
