Hey I'm working for the PA and I'm in charge of correcting/adjusting this wikipedia page. And I was just told that you are rechanging my changings.

Dear Melareuter, if you work for the PA, then you are very strongly discouraged from editing that page, per WP:COI (emphasis in the original; you are advised to read that guideline). I do not intend to leave any "official version" in place. Wikipedia articles are supposed to be neutral summaries based on reliable third-party sources, not organizations' own media.

But as I said the progressive alliance is not a POLITICAL INTERNATIONAL but a GLOBAL NETWORK maybe if could change at least this it would be great. And what is the problem to add informations about Conferences and Seminars? Best

Dear Qwertyus...can you please change the false information: the PA is not a political international (what ever this means...the PA is not an organisation in consequent you haven't membership dues and that' s why we speak from "participants" and not from members). If you have a look at the german and french wikipedia site it' s a "global network" and I wasn't the autor...The second favor you can do for me is that Sigmar Gabriel is not the president...he is the president from the SPD yes...but not from the PA. I would be very glad if you can make this change because its not in your advantage to publish wrong information...and copie/paste from articles are not everytime the best way. Thank you very much.

Delisted merge proposal

edit

I just wanted to be sure and drop you a quick note explaining why I removed the merge proposal on US federal recognition of a Native Hawaiian nation. The merge itself would be controversial. The two subjects are not the same. The article is about the attempt by the US government to classify Native Hawaiians as American Indians in order to allow some amount of Independence within the framework of the US constitution and applicable laws and statutes. But, it has become very controversial with many indigenous Hawaiians. There are actually a good deal of sources for this including a recent declaration by the US Department of the Interior. This is about a process that began in 1993 and went through several changes, proposals to the US congress and has culminated with a listing of Native Hawaiians verified on a Native Hawaiian Roll Commission list and the upcoming Constitutional Convention being funded by OHA (Office of Hawaiian Affairs) through a special group of participating ali'i families.--Mark Miller (talk) 17:03, 6 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Of course "the subjects aren't the same", but everything that is said in the new stub concerns Native Hawaiians and can be covered in a section of that article. The fact that it's controversial doesn't change it, it makes it all the more relevant. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 17:11, 6 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
That merge can be done boldly. I have no problem with adding the content to the other article. The two can exist simultaneously as a stand alone article (this does meet notability standards for a stand alone article) and a small section in the article Native Hawaiians but I do intend to expand this article today.--Mark Miller (talk) 17:49, 6 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
Per WP:COMMONNAME I moved the article to US federal recognition of Native Hawaiians which is the far more searchable title the subject, which is the same but drops mention of a "Nation".--Mark Miller (talk) 17:55, 6 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Reversions of My Edits

edit

Hey,

Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blue_Wonder_Power_Milk&oldid=688503185&diff=prev, what would satisfy you to remove the citation needed bit? I can confirm with my own eyes that the album artwork for Blue Wonder Power Milk is in fact an escalator inside of Atomium. I recalled the "citation needed" bit from an earlier read of the article; and then when I was last in Brussels, I visited the Atomium to show a friend. I checked the inside, and, yes, that scene from the album artwork, so I removed the citation needed. Unfortunately photos of Atomium require special license, so I can't just upload "proof" in public domain. FWIW, you can see a photo that is in the public domain of this elevator from a slightly different perspective here: http://www.brusselspictures.com/2008/05/21/atomium-expo-58.

Finally, regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Go_(programming_language)&oldid=688503214&diff=prev, what would satisfy you to revert your deletion? The components I inventoried in the "runtime" section are objective facts that can be proven by linking to the relevant sections of the Go runtime's source code. If that would satisfy you, I can do that. Just let me know the required level of detail.

In the future, consider reaching out instead of arbitrarily deleting one's contributions and clarifying if further work is required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matttproud (talkcontribs) 15:55, 1 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi Matttproud,
In both cases, the guideline WP:RS applies:

Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means that we publish the opinions only of reliable authors, and not the opinions of Wikipedians who have read and interpreted primary source material for themselves.

This means that neither personal testimony nor source code are good enough. In the specific case of Go (programming language), your additions constitute both personal analysis and (IMHO) undue attention to implementation details that do not fit in an encyclopedic overview. Only if some third party source discusses these details because they are significant for some reason, should they be added to the article. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 16:18, 1 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Binary Search Tree

edit

Hi, you've undone my recent edit removing the redundant "return None" line from the Python recursive search code, citing the reason being that 'explicit is better than implicit'. Whilst I agree that an explicit "return None" is better than an implicit one in situations where an implicit return is possible, this particular code does not allow the possibility of implicit return as all code paths will have all explicitly returned already.

I believe that the redundant "return None" line actually makes the code less clear to understand as it suggests to the reader that it is possible for a code path to reach this line and so must be a necessary part of the algorithm, when in fact it is not part of the algorithm at all. (It certainly did to me anyway, which is why I removed it save future readers from going through the same mental exercise that I did.)

Bottom up merge sort for linked lists

Several people asked for this.

Brown Clustering cats

edit

Noticed you undid my edit - that's OK, but LM seems to be a subcat of NLP and CL, and neither NLP nor CL cat appear in the LM cat page as the edit summary suggested. Can you consider a more logical structure of categories, bearing in mind Brown is a pretty poor LM as described in the paper - which just uses interpolated bigram, nothing intrinsic to Brown - and also that Brown is often used for many non-LM purposes in machine learning, NLP and CL (e.g. as word representations cf. the Turian link on the page; and for normalisation).

Category:Language modeling is a subcat of both Category:Computational linguistics and Category:Statistical natural language processing. But I guess you're right, it's not only a language model. Reverted my own edit, then changed NLP to statistical NLP. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 13:40, 11 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Unix philosophy page issues

edit

Hello, just wanted to ask if you could keep an eye on Unix philosophy, because there is some questionable material that an editor has been attempting to keep in the article. It isn't clearly related to the Unix philosophy, but the editor in question doesn't seem interested in finding a more appropriate article for it. In any case, I think this page could benefit from more eyes on it, if you are willing. Best regards. Huihermit (talk) 12:33, 16 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Changes to Intertrust Group

edit

Dear Qwertyus, first of all, many thanks for your valuable contributions. I would like to inform you that Intertrust Group has become a publicly listed company in October 2015. Therefore, I will make a number of changes to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertrust_Group to reflect those changes. I'm reaching out to you as you have reverted some of my changes in the past, specifically on the description of Intertrust's activities. The description of "Tax avoidance" is not correct; Intertrust is described as a trust and corporate services provider - which indeed can come across as vague - but its speciality is (quite straight forward): "administration", as mentioned by Reuters on this recent article http://www.reuters.com/article/netherlands-intertrust-ipo-idUSL8N12F1BD20151015 - or in more detail legal and financial administrative services, as Bloomberg describes in this article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-09-20/blackstone-said-to-announce-intertrust-ipo-on-monday. Many thanks for your support.

2010 budget of the municipal government of Toronto

edit

You proposed deleting 1999 budget of the municipal government of Toronto and 2004 budget of the municipal government of Toronto. Should 2010 budget of the municipal government of Toronto also be removed? Then, presumably the category Category:Budgets of the municipal government of Toronto should be deleted.--76.14.85.215 (talk) 04:06, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

The 2010 article has an independent source, so I wasn't sure about it. I guess it might need discussion at WP:AfD. (Note: I'm not deleting anything. I don't have admin powers, so I can't delete articles myself.) QVVERTYVS (hm?) 08:04, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

ICRANet

edit

Hello, Qwertyus! I got that you placed an advertisement tag onto the article about ICRANet organization. I've made a PhD there 3 years ago, so I want to improve the article.   Could you explain me, what section should I check first? Maybe my English is not so good, but I cannot get the idea where the advertisement exactly is in there. Thank you! --Melirius (talk) 02:30, 25 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Melirius: you could start by having a look at phrases like "In order to promote this important collaboration between physics and mathematics, in celebration of that historic event". Also, pretty much all the sources are affiliated organisations. Sources for Wikipedia should be uninterested third parties or vetted by peer review to establish the importance of the material presented. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 10:13, 27 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Neutral point of view?

edit

"Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to GroenLinks. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you." QVVERTYVS (hm?) 11:16, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. That brought a smile to my face. How I do wish that Wikipedia used, enforced, a "formal tone expected in an encyclopedia." Sadly, that is simply not the case, especially as it relates to an encyclopedic neutral point of view (Encyclopaedia Britannica being one of the better ones, though no longer quite what they were in the old days).

In virtually every article I have observed that relates even moderately to a political topic, the point of view is universally skewed to the Left. Perhaps you have noticed (or perhaps you have not) that every article about a subject that is to the right of center is always labeled with descriptive adjectives indicating such: far-right, hard-right, conservative, ultra-conservative, etc. However.....articles about groups left of center contain no such labels. Or, at the very most, something very blasé such as 'liberal.' This condition is so pervasive that perhaps you have become inured to it.

A neutral point of view in Wikipedia? Hardly. Despite the fact that the rules clearly state that neutrality is required. And attempts by me (and others) to improve the genuine neutrality of articles inevitably get reverted; by people like you who have not yet quite learned how to assess true neutrality.Hackercraft (talk) 00:20, 26 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Gender neutral title

edit

Hey hey,

Your note on Talk:Gender neutral title indicates that you tagged the page with the disputes template, which is fair enough - we've not had a lot of info about Mx for quite some time. However, information about the title's origins have come to light since it was put forward for adding to the Oxford English Dictionary, so I've added as many citations as I can. Since it was me that did the thing and I'm quite a casual editor, I don't feel like it's appropriate for me to remove the tag(s). But I just wanted to draw it to your attention, since presumably as you added the template you have an interest in the article's accuracy and so on.

Spark GraphX

edit

Why did you revert my rewrite of Apache Spark#GraphX?

Ah, I see it now, "OR". Trouble is, just about the only source is my book [8] which I didn't want to cite due to conflict of interest. Perhaps you could give me support on the Spark talk page to self-cite, or perhaps you could just restore my changes and add some cn's. Michaelmalak (talk) 23:16, 10 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Michaelmalak: I think re-adding the content with a {{cn}} template attached is the worst of all possible solutions. I haven't read your book, so I can't judge it, but in general experts are not forbidden from citing themselves and your addition seemed a fair criticism of GraphX. Maybe you could ask for comments on this situation over at WT:COMPUTING? QVVERTYVS (hm?) 17:19, 11 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Holy fire and 'the plant' in Zoroastrianism

edit

Hi,

three years ago you have added a clarification request to this part:

The Indo-Iranians believed that fire was the essence of life and existence, and it is thought that there was a relationship between fire and the plant.

in Fire in ancient Iranian culture#Early history. I am not an expert, but I guess that might be the Zoroastrian divine plant Haoma.

But I may well be wrong, because our article about the holy fire Atar does not mention any plants, either transcendental, divine or real. However, it says in the lead:

[Atar] is considered to be the visible presence of Ahura Mazda and his aša.

and Asha in turn admits in section Asha#As "right working":

As (the hypostasis of) regularity and "right working", aša/arta- is present when Ahura Mazda fixed the course of the sun, the moon and the stars (Yasna 44.3), and it is through aša that plants grow (Yasna 48.6).

That, in turn, seems too remote association to explain the sentence in question.

Do you know any Wikipedian who might verify this and fix or expand the Fire in ancient Iranian culture article? --CiaPan (talk) 13:43, 13 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
