Orphaned article
The new article titled Nonhomogeneous Gaussian regression currently has no other Wikipedia articles linking to it. If you know of other articles that should link to it, could you add the links? (I changed the "G" from lower case to capital because "Gauss" is a person's name.) Michael Hardy (talk) 03:02, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Directional component analysis


A tag has been placed on Directional component analysis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/11/4/354/htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Just to correct the record on this: there was no copyright infringement of any sort at any point. Simon Pedley (talk) 11:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Directional component analysis moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Directional component analysis, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Extended cost-loss model, from its old location at User:Simon Pedley/Extended cost-loss model.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Draft:Extended cost-loss model. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. SWinxy (talk) 14:43, 21 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thankyou for the feedback, that's very helpful. I'm still learning.
 * The only place I used creative commons licensed text was once in an early draft of the Directional Component Analysis article, as the figure caption, but it's now been removed.
 * I will probably avoid using any creative commons text in the future, but if I do, I will make sure to follow the process you describe.
 * All the best, Simon Pedley (talk) 15:37, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Then it seems like this is my mistake instead. I never used a particular copyright violation checker before, and it made me believe that a mirror of your article was the original. I am so sorry to have concerned you! Will report to the makers of the tool. SWinxy (talk) 22:38, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's interesting. Let me know if there's anything I can check. Best regards,Simon Pedley (talk) 08:00, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
