Mathew Prichard

Hello Twassman, I appreciate your reading of the article I just published, Mathew Prichard:) Could you please tell me why and for what reason, however, it does not seem to meet notability? I have already left a comment on the talk page to contest speedy deletion and would hope for you to read it. Thank you:) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebiggangwiki (talk • contribs) 20:49, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

@Thebiggangwiki: The article's subject did not appear to be inherently notable (see WP:NINI); I've removed the CSD template since you contested it. — Twassman [Talk·Contribs] 21:39, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Big Frog Mountain

Hi Twassman,

I apologize for the edits made recently on the Big Frog Mountain page. My 6 year old got on the computer and made the changes. I'm not sure what he put on there, but I know it was him because Big Frog Mountain is one of his favorite pages. Again, I apologize.

@Grenouille78: No problem! However, please note that you are responsible for your account and its edits. I was able to revert the edit so that no damage was done, but it could have slipped through the cracks. Thank you for following up on it, though! I do genuinely appreciate the apology — consider it accepted. — Twassman [Talk·Contribs] 02:36, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ahmed AlNeaimy (programmer)

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (it not an advertising , ahmed help by his tool a lot of people to use new features , jailbreak is a legal way , Jailbreaking refers to privilege escalation on an Apple device to remove software restrictions imposed by Apple on iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, bridgeOS and audioOS operating systems. Typically it is done through a series of kernel patches. A jailbroken device permits root access within the operating system and provides the opportunity to install software not available through the iOS App Store. Different devices and versions are exploited with a variety of tools. Apple views jailbreaking as a violation of the End-user licence agreement, and strongly cautions device owners from attempting to achieve root access through exploitation of vulnerabilities.

he made an important way by programming and he became known every where he don't need for advertising please just translate the link with other languages to understand what he has done and thank you so much for reading Hesham Hussain (talk) 23:13, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Undoing "Kullback–Leibler divergence → Relative entropy " rename

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Moved to Talk:Relative entropy § Requested move 28 November 2020

---

Hey :) I see you've recently renamed the Kullback–Leibler divergence page. I'd like to ask you to look at my reasoning and agree to undo this rename (or help explain why you think this change is good for the article): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Relative_entropy#Requested_move_28_November_2020

Thanks upfront, Tal Galili (talk) 19:46, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello! After looking into the subject, I agree that KL divergence is the more common name and the rename can be undone. I was originally fixing a cut/paste move by Bionhoward1337 (talk · contribs) and did not sufficiently evaluate whether the move was sufficiently rationalised. You can bring this to requested moves — I will not oppose moving it back. Apologies. — Twassman [Talk·Contribs] 20:29, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Greetings!

When we name math concepts after people instead of meanings, we make math less inclusive and harder for new generations to learn.

[Why Mathematicians Should Stop Naming Things After Each Other](http://m.nautil.us/issue/89/the-dark-side/why-mathematicians-should-stop-naming-things-after-each-other)

An eponym like “KL” doesn’t tell us anything about the underlying concept, whereas relative entropy tells us the concept regards a relationship between two quantities (relative) of hidden information (entropy).

The Wikipedia style guide reads, “Some topics are intrinsically technical, but editors should try to make them understandable to as many readers as possible. Minimize jargon...” — it also says to prefer more common usage forms. [A quick look at Google Trends shows there are actually more recent searches for the descriptive form, Relative Entropy, than for the eponymous form, Kullback-Leibler Divergence.](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=Relative%20Entropy,Kullback-Leibler%20Divergence)

The preferred term ought to be “relative entropy” because this presents a golden opportunity to make a Wikipedia article on a key, and confusing, technical topic much more clear for learners and make the mathematics of information more inclusive to newcomers.

Thank you for taking the time to read this,
