Removal in links
Greetings, Thanks for referencing the article “Grey box completion and validation”. It made me aware the article was available. Your link has now been removed together with others. I have approached Wikipedia for advice regarding these actions See below. I do not understand why there could be such a bias against the article.

info-en-v@wikimedia.org

Removal of relevant links Greetings

I was notified by email “Grey box completion and validation” (previously an orphan) had been linked to “Model theory”. Possibly not the most relevant link there, but relevant for a wider interpretation of model theory. Until this notification I was not aware this item was available on Wikipedia.

Having made several further relevant “See also” links (important as grey box information is not common, although much used informally) I find these have been systematically removed (see below). I had understood inter linking was an important part of Wikipedia.

I do not wish to be involved remove/restore warfare so seek your advice how to proceed. I note the person involved does not have/use a talk page.

In particular: Are the additional links appropriate? How can the links be reconnected without the likelihood of being removed again by the same parson? Does Wikipedia have a method of resolving this? Should I remake the links?

Greetings, In reply to you comments: 1 The topic is not controversial in fact unknown would be a more apt description. 2 I have no idea who might be inspired to remove references, but note System identification was being added.

Following a reply to email to Wikipedia which suggested putting on the talk pages that I would undo the change if the are no objections after a few days, I have done that to most of the articles (omitted Model theory for the time being) and wait to see what happens.

A very strange edit
This is weird, not to mention incorrect. Model theory? This is quite remote from model theory, and I would think that would be obvious from the content of the article. This belongs in statistics, not mode theory. (Capitalizing the initial "m" is "model theory" is also a bit strange.) Michael Hardy (talk) 22:56, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi SocraticOath. I wanted to let you know that if you use   at the end of any talk page post in which you have included footnote citations, it will ensure that the footnotes stay with your comment, as opposed to floating to the bottom of the page.- MrX 21:07, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

1RR on abortion-related articles
Hey - I just wanted to make you aware that abortion-related articles on Wikipedia are generally subject to a 1-revert rule (1RR). This means that no one should "revert" more than once a day. There's more at WP:3RR, but in general a "revert" is defined pretty broadly as any edit that undoes a previous change, in whole or part. The rule is designed to help encourage discussion and discourage rapid back-and-forth reverting or editing, which destabilizes the articles. As you might imagine, abortion-related articles have seen a lot of nonsense over the years, so they tend to be kept on a shorter leash. Anyhow - I'm not saying you've done anything wrong, but just wanted to let you know that this rule exists so that you can mind it. Thanks. MastCell Talk 18:06, 21 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Totally understandable... Thanks! SocraticOath (talk) 18:50, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Late termination of pregnancy
Hi -- what's the goal of requesting a reassessment of that article? Do you think it shouldn't be B class, or shouldn't be High importance, or what? Best regards, Looie496 (talk) 17:03, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see -- it looks like you weren't aware that the WPMED template goes on the talk page rather than the article itself. Since it is already there, and the article has already been assessed in a way that looks reasonable, there is probably nothing to do, right?  (I removed the misplaced template from the article, by the way.) Looie496 (talk) 17:09, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * , would you please check the article before my revisions from today? I just listed this article on a few projects today and it's possible that I accidently made it look like it had been assessed already when it had not been.  Thanks, -SocraticOath (talk) 18:09, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Go to Talk:Late termination of pregnancy, to the box that says "This article is of interest to multiple WikiProjects", and click "show" -- you will see WikiProject Medicine there. In fact the article was added to WPMED and assessed in 2007 (diff). Looie496 (talk) 18:15, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Abortion/Breast-cancer article
Hi, according to the "Weight" section in the TALK page of the "Abortion-Breast-Cancer Hypothesis" article, descriptions of individual articles such as the one you posted (the Chinese meta-analysis) are not appropriate and do not belong. If we included your description, we would for consistency also have to include descriptions of other primary-source articles on the subject (or at least other meta-analyses) and the article would degenerate into a scientific literature review, not an encyclopedia article. Stick to secondary sources and general summaries, please! HandsomeMrToad (talk) 10:58, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Alleged links between Donald Trump and organized crime


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Alleged links between Donald Trump and organized crime. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Donald Trump. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Donald Trump – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. LoudLizard (📞 | contribs | ✉) 21:27, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Proposed content for Trump article
Hi there! I'm reaching out to you because of your involvement on the article. In the "In Popular culture" section, do you think it would be appropriate to add mention of notable comedic impressions?

I believe inclusion of these comedic impressions is notable and especially worthwhile in the "Popular culture" section. What do you think? Feel free to ping me for a reply. BBoyle81 (talk) 22:27, 11 March 2016 (UTC)


 * There has been some significant back-and-forth about pop culture references. I think that with critical mass of material and a lot of your own elbow-grease in creating the article, a separate article on the pop culture trivia of Donald Trump would be great.  Perhaps you should first create an article about something inconsequential so you can do it quietly and learn the process first? I would suggest an article on rainbow unicorn glitter kitten, or something you know well yourself.  You could also write about a less-well-known scientist or author.SocraticOath (talk) 22:31, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John Curran (journalist II)
Hello SocraticOath,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged John Curran (journalist II) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Dschslava (talk) 19:34, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
