Hi! I agree that we should use more references in SNCD article. let us find a way to add useful references. Lav71 (talk) 17:55, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello Lav71! I noticed it says that "SNCD was initially proposed by Major Ian McCulloh". Maybe we can find what we need by following his/her paper along with our editing process goes forward.--Xynoci (talk) 18:06, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your effort on the article we are working on. However, I remember that the instructor has mentioned in class that we are not editing the article yet, just making plans at present, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Rjz0170 (talk) 18:14, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Rjz0170, I am not sure about that. But I think you are right, maybe we start to edit the article at the next step? Thank you for reminding me of that! --Xynoci (talk) 18:26, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I think so. Maybe the instructor will talk about editing the article tomorrow in class, because tomorrow is the deadline for step 2. After that, we can start editing it. ^_^ Rjz0170 (talk) 18:29, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, got it! Then we could have a better understanding upon this method and have more time to do the editing~ --Xynoci (talk) 18:36, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

I get another article of McCulloh that we can refine information.We can also put this article into references.Lovesocialcom (talk) 01:50, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * oh, I see Lovesocialcom. Is it this one? Detecting Changes in a Dynamic Social Network. I just looked through this paper, and it seems a more advanced one with more experiment on different datasets. Do you mean that we can make editing based not this paper? --Xynoci (talk) 02:06, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes! At least we can find any other examples.Lovesocialcom (talk) 02:11, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Xynoci/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Xynoci/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.casos.cs.cmu.edu/publications/papers/CMU-ISR-09-104.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 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.

 * Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers, I have deleted those content. --Xynoci (talk) 06:02, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Xynoci, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Social network change detection has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:03, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Xynoci, it looks from your conversations above as if you may be following a course that uses Wikipedia as a means of instruction. If so, can you tell me the Wikipedia username of your instructor? – I need to talk to him/her. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:05, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I did some digging, the instructor looks to be User:Rostaf. I sent them an email a time ago, which was replied to; would you like me to forward that to you? Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 22:43, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * , you're obviously way ahead of me here. No, thanks, I don't need to see an email. I just wanted to know where the course page for this assignment is so that I could leave some remarks there about students who haven't been properly taught how to avoid copyright violation; but it doesn't look as if there is one. Aren't instructors supposed to get approval before starting a course? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:01, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Monitored al Qaeda Communication Network for Year 2001.png
Thanks for uploading File:Monitored al Qaeda Communication Network for Year 2001.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:32, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
