Regression weight
Hello, Tayste! I'm sorry if I mixed something up there. As I am not a total expert in statistics, would you have an idea where one could integrate the term "regression weight" more properly or which redirect to use for it? Best wishes--Neufund (talk) 07:49, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

PS: Please ping me if you feel like commenting! Thanks.--Neufund (talk) 22:38, 14 August 2018 (UTC)


 * First step would be to search reliable sources (e.g. journal articles, stats books) for this specific term and see how it is used. Then check whether this topic is already covered in Wikipedia, perhaps with a synonym as the title. But to me it seems like the kind of phrase that might mean different things in different fields or contexts. Weighted least squares is one possible meaning; is that what you understand by the term? --Tayste (edits) 00:23, 15 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your reaction. To answer your final question: When I added the term regression weight under Linear regression, I was referring especially to http://onlinestatbook.com/2/regression/multiple_regression.html, where it says: "The values of b (b1 and b2) are sometimes called "regression coefficients" and sometimes called "regression weights." These two terms are synonymous." — Thus, I felt a little confused about your revert… Kind regards--Neufund (talk) 19:17, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Fisher information and AIC
Hi, about Fisher information and AIC, this is discussed by Burnham & Anderson [2002: §7.7.8 ("Kullback–Leibler Information Relationship to the Fisher Information Matrix")]. There are also some remarks at Fisher information. SolidPhase (talk) 04:08, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, clearly I have more reading to do on this matter! Tayste (edits) 08:39, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Talk page guidelines do not give you permission to put things back on people's talk page that they have removed. Did you violate the guidelines out of ignorance or malice? 82.132.220.10 (talk) 09:09, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * FYI, the IP is a sock of a community-banned user whose CV is found at WP:LTA/BKFIP. Favonian (talk) 10:17, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Other IP addresses appear to be used by the same user, e.g. 82.132.222.241, and perhaps should be treated the same? Tayste (edits) 21:05, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I blocked the 82.132.220.0/22 range for a day. A longer block would probably result in too much collateral damage. Favonian (talk) 09:35, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Hemideina thoracica page edit
Hi, you recently deleted a significant portion of the H. thoracica page and listed the reason as "Please be careful not to make such drastic changes". What exactly is the issue with making large changes? Is there a specific rule against this? I'm fairly new so this has confused me, especially since the drastic changes seemed to be a significant improvement.

Many thanks in advance. AxonsArachnida (talk) 05:44, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Re. "Copula"
Tayste, today you made this edit on the Copula page. The edit supersedes the one that I'd made just previously here. In principle, I defer to whatever style I can stomach as long as it has some grammatical justification. It seems you don't apply that same principle. In this case, your edit agrees with my style sense better than the way I left the verbiage. Thanks for doing what I'm generally hesitant to do and for resisting the knee-jerk response of others who simply revert stuff. That being said, I'm inclined to revert the edit that you made here. You justified your edit with "avoid WP:REFERS in the opening sentence; we're talking about copulas, not the word copula." The salient issue is that the word, "copula," is a term that relates not only to words but also to phrases - a point that you left undisturbed in the article. As the article now stands: "A copula is a word ... such as the word is ... or the phrase is not being," which doesn't quite make sense. Although you're right that the WP:REFERS protocol applies to a sentence like, "Milwaukee is the name of a city in Wisconsin" versus "Milwaukee is a city in Wisconsin," the article indeed relates to the linguistics term, "copula," not the word (i.e. lexeme), copula. So, to avoid belaboring the WP:REFERS issue, I'd be satisfied with, "A copula is a word or phrase that..." How about it? The relevant footnote is then left to address the "term" point. --Kent Dominic 07:28, 8 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kent Dominic (talk • contribs)
 * Thank you for taking the time to consider how the REFERS guideline applies here and for contacting me about it. To be honest, my edit was done in a bit of a hurry and so I might have missed the flow-on effect later in the paragraph. I will defer to your understanding of linguistics then.  Tayste (edits) 00:48, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

I'll change it to the second of the two abovementioned alternatives and see how it flies. Cheers. --Kent Dominic·(talk) 06:55, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

My edits to Peter Schickele
I thought I'd give an explanation for my edits to the PDQ Bach section of Peter Schickele. In a prose list of items, if an individual item has a comma in it, you separate the items with semicolons to clarify and avoid confusion. See MOS:SEMICOLON. Black Yoshi (Yoshi! | Yoshi's Eggs) 21:11, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Either way, it's awkward. Perhaps it can be worded better by splitting into several sentences or with parenthetical diversions rather than comma diversions.  Tayste (edits) 21:25, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Both of those sound more awkward to me than delineating the list with semicolons, to be honest. Black Yoshi (Yoshi! | Yoshi's Eggs) 22:53, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Help pls
Can you guide me on how to edit correctly I don’t understand what I did wrong? First time it said I had no sources, links I added it now you removed it. I’m not sure what’s the problem? Thanks for your help. TLONZ (talk) 20:07, 7 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I've replied on your talk page. Might take me a couple days to give you more specific advice, sorry. Tayste (edits) 20:32, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

G♯/A♭
I figured the statement had something to do with the pair not containing a white key note name adjacent to another a half-step away. However, this being an obscure statement bordering on trivia, it should probably have a reference (obviously I don't know of any). Mapsax (talk) 23:08, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree it needs a reference. Perhaps enharmonic is the best place to find that, or at least a definition that makes it clear.  It's trivia, true, but interesting enough for inclusion, I think.  Tayste (edits) 23:25, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I've been thinking about that statement again...I guess it depends on the legitimacy or not of triple sharps. Mapsax (talk) 00:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did ponder that too. I note that enharmonic doesn't mention triple sharps/flats, so I'd be inclined to ignore that technicality.  Tayste (edits) 00:51, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * However, sharp (music) and flat (music) do, though admittedly sharing a single source. Mapsax (talk) 01:17, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Are you thinking of coming along? Would be great to have you join in.  Schwede 66  00:12, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, yes I'm looking into how it fits with our summer plans. It would be fun and a good chance to have a look around that part of the country. Tayste (edits) 00:17, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
