June 2011 edit

 

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to The Art of Computer Programming, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sorting algorithm. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Glrx (talk) 21:34, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding your material to sorting algorithm until you have a consensus for it on the talk page. Glrx (talk) 15:58, 7 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

new development of Sort edit

Sort uses merge sorting and is speedy to complete 1 column sorting (in a table of rows and colums of words to be selected and sorted).

There is a new sort(1), headsort(1), using an algorthim with opposite speed properties of merge sort that when sorting more than one column can finish in 1/2 the time, or when only needing to begin streaming the sorted data can finish in 1/2 the time (thus head). Both is often yet faster as sort(1) is terrible at many columns and piping. Simply put: headsort(1) is a better choice than sort(1) if columns and or piping is expected on random data and speed is needed.

If you are interested in headsort(1) "1/2 the time" contact johnandsara2@cox.net or sven_nestle2 on wiki with subject "sort algorithm".

heasort(1) is an un-licensed but finished C unix binary with manpage. this is so I can get school or work credit for submission, sorry.

You can leave messages below but the email will be far faster in response.

Redirected article edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for creating the article, Longitude and Latitude. However, there already is an article on that topic, geographic coordinate system, so your article was redirected to the existing one. Please take advantage of the search feature to find similar-named articles before creating them in the future—and feel free to redirect alternate spellings of existing articles. Thanks.

Sven nestle2 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

The blocker is vandalizing my own private material that Im still working on (not removing it from another page, which i don't like but don't complain about either). I'm writing a positive article and believe I can cite every idea as being derived from collegiate sources. The Vandalizer did not use the Talk section. The Vandalizer IP blocked me which is against the telephone company agreement to do to another online user. I was not writing the artcle 5 minutes - 5 minutes until IP bocked. It is harassment. The competing article cites Homer which Im sure is simply intellectual fiction and way outdated based on newer archeological finds and text. And Homer wasnt a lawyer in Ancient Greece much the opposite: a fiction writer. It is normal to have an "imperfect" article when starting one: there's plenty of real junk on wikipedia and plenty of politics and lies. Please stop harassing me for doing: good work - if you don't beleive me let's debate the facts by email. Again: citing Homer as a legal reference is simply poor cut and paste work by today's updated knowlege. Wikipedia really needs to do more about vandalizers that delete other's articles - i really could care less about their opinion if they don't like my work they can write their own page or dispute who owns the page title. Thank you very much.

Decline reason:

There is no such thing as "your own private article" on Wikipedia. --jpgordon::==( o ) 00:19, 18 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
