Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Copernican Question: Prognostication, Skepticism, and Celestial Order, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Newton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

academic journal pages
Thanks for your comment about multiple issues tags for academic journal pages. I was interested in this because someone put such a tag on such a page I had contributed. If you have no objection I'll paste your comment on his/her talk page. Ankababel (talk) 12:18, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Further point -- some of those journal articles I found were also very brief -- should be labelled stubs. Ankababel (talk) 12:32, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Notability (academic journals)
This statement is simply false. You are either incapable of copying plain English sentences, deliberately mis-stating what I wrote, or just repeating random claims to perpetuate a debate which has already been run to exhaustion in order to amuse yourself by wasting the time of other editors. I suspect the latter. Don't do that again. Deltahedron (talk) 20:56, 1 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, in this edit you write
 * Furthermore, the below evidence appears to show relevant selectivity
 * ...MRDB entries for recent items in a selected list of journals..."
 * You fail to complete the sentence you quote, which continues MRDB entries for recent items in a selected list of journals include the complete reference list from the original item. In other words, MR select some of the journals that they already cover in the MRDB for further coverage, namely, inclusion of the full reference list of the papers they review from those journals, something which they do not do for other journals that they cover.  This fact is well known to users of MR.  Whether you knew it already or not, I think you need to explain why you truncated the sentence and visibly changed its meaning.
 * Have you ever used MR? Do you understand what it is and how it works?  If you do not, then you should refrain from repeatedly making tendentious and erroneous statements about it, and using those statements about something you do not understand to support your case.  If you do know how it works, then you know what it means for MR to cover a journal, you know that it includes reference lists for some but not all of the journals it covers, and you know that you changed the meaning of the text fragment when you truncated it.  In the latter case, you should be ashamed of yourself.  Deltahedron (talk) 08:27, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the feedback - and I want you to know - if I made a mistake by truncating that sentence, then it wasn't intentional. At the same time, I don't see how completing that sentence changes the meaning. But you think that does change the meaning, and I consider your opinion to be valid input on this matter. Thanks. Steve Quinn (talk) 03:20, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
 * In any case - I can see there is at least a possible discrepancy between what the source says and my intended meaning, so I struck out the blurb. --- Steve Quinn (talk) 04:05, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

SCOAP3
There's an article to be written here. I've started it, but it could be expanded to a much better article, and likely get a WP:DYK from it if we work fast enough. Not sure about how feasible it is to take to GA (or even FA status), but this one has more potential than a lot of things under the umbrella of WP:JOURNALS. Just dropping by to let you know I'm planning on working on this one (plus member journals) over the next few days. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 02:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Doklady edit
I have made a minor edit on your Doklady Physics stub. I wanted to run it past you, as I am no physicist. I attempted to research the word "coalated" in the Wiktionary, as well as one other dictionary, and I will check a few more, just to be thorough. I think this is a simple typo, or misspelling, and not a physics issue at all. The 2nd dictionary suggested that I "might mean 'collated,' " which was my assumption, as well. If I am all wet, please feel free to revert. Rags (talk) 05:37, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I did a little further searching. I am reassured of my edit.  Details on the Talk_page.  Rags (talk) 10:21, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I misspelled "collated". The word I had is probably not a word. You can be sure of your edits when you correct misspellings. Thanks. --- Steve Quinn (talk) 01:26, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Electrocomposeur 1976.JPG


A tag has been placed on File:Electrocomposeur 1976.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

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 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.

Alerts
I don't find the directions in articles about Wikipedia to be very user-friendly. I usually try to imitate what others have used and hope that it works. I tried to alert you in two ways on my talk page. Did either of them work, and if not how do I send an alert? Thanks.Jzsj (talk) 08:24, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hoping to receive a response, but let me add, please. We seem to be pushing in opposite directions, with my seeking maximum freedom where issues are not clear and your wanting to remove logos from all the templates about Jesuit works. Also, I saw Pjposullivan giving me qualified support in the end. And I see wiggle room within the statement introducing the Logo article: It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply. Also, my take on your partner in this endeavour is that he may be harrassing me, as he was warned of this before (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:HappyValleyEditor&diff=722059718&oldid=722033869 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Centro_Gumilla). Since he has erased his talk page it's difficult to get a sense of his work, but he appears to have just begun editing this year, and has perhaps not yet captured the spirit of graciousness and tolerance within rules with fuzzy edges at times. My conclusion is that the Jesuit logo is permissible within the infobox of Jesuit works, as they all use the logo for their works. I believe we would need a broader discussion to definitively rule this out. I have moved non-free logos into the infoboxes of all the Jesuit schools where I found the more specific logos copyable. Jzsj (talk) 21:33, 29 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Jzsj - I don't understand why you are trying to engage me in a discussion here on my talk page or even on your talk page. In the above, you said we need a broader discussion and one is happening over at the COI discussion board. And there will be another one opening at the Village Pump about the Logo's status as soon as I get time, within the next few days. There is also a link to another discussion taking place over at Copyright questions on the COI discussion board.


 * This disucssion that you are attempting to have here, should be taking place over at the COI discussion board. Please don't try to discuss this issue with me on my talk page anymore. If you do so, I feel compelled to ignore it. I am probably going to post this section of my talk page over at the COI discussion board.


 * As an aside, you have already set up an alert when you pinged someone over at the COI discussion board. And that is how it is done use "ping" or "re" in a template preceding the person's name. The "ping" or "re" is separated with a vertical line "|". ---Steve Quinn (talk) 01:18, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
