Correlation does not imply causation
Hi, in the article Correlation does not imply causation, on 15 October 2015, you added a section, "The relationship between A and B is coincidental". This contains the statement "5% of things will correlate by chance at a 95% confidence level". Whilst I'd agree that random correlations are real, do you have a citation for the stated amount? A quick Google search failed to to find a match. I've added a [citation needed] tag, but if you could remember, and add, where the quote came from, it would be useful.

 * The 95% confidence level means that 5% of the time, you'd expect the result to happen by chance; that's what 95% confidence *means*. 95% is a common confidence level used in a lot of scientific papers. It's the old jelly beans thing. I'll see if I can find a formal cite from a book in my closet. See confidence interval for a discussion of it.  (talk) 22:50, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Tempo (magic) listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Tempo (magic). Since you had some involvement with the Tempo (magic) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. – Uanfala (talk) 01:45, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up! Titanium Dragon  (talk) 02:55, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Non-existent categories
Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Eduard Prchal, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before saving a change. Thank you. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:04, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I fixed the link; it was supposed to go to the sole survivors category. It was a capitalization issue. Titanium Dragon  (talk) 00:30, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data
Hi Titanium Dragon, I saw when you edited Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data, you put a note on one of the numbers. Please do not add notes or references to the number column, as it makes the numbers much harder for people to use, instead add notes to the country, and references in the references column. Someone else took out your note, so no more action is needed from you on that. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:56, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Nested references
Nested references can be done by using Refn in the outer and regular reg tags in the inner note. I rolledback your changes to prevent formatting problems in the meantime. --MarioGom (talk) 09:27, 2 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I saw. Thanks. Titanium Dragon  (talk) 09:27, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism
Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:34, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

on the Jewish question
Great spot and edit about Sacks stance on Marx. Could you add a small sentence in with a source about it please? It’s hideous how this article has gone on for years as a form of apologism for Marx’s antisemitism. -Manboobies (talk) 03:49, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
