Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Poulet

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Paul Poulet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
  • disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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 "Click here to 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.

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to The Roses of Heliogabalus may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Missing-digit sum, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Modulo and Decimal system (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikilinking

edit

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

  • dates
  • years
  • commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
  • common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

This applies to infoboxes, too.

Thanks, and my best wishes.

Tony (talk) 06:23, 7 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your response. But, well, no. On the English Wikipedia it has long been established—by large community consensus—that common, dictionary-type words and chronological terms should not be linked unless there are very good reasons. If you're a non-native speaker and reading the English WP, the expectation is that you do know common words in the language.

If you'd like to talk about this more, ask me questions; but I'm going to revert it sooner or later. Tony (talk) 09:51, 7 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Lisandro Aristimuño

edit

Hello, MagistraMundi. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Lisandro Aristimuño, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Lisandro Aristimuño to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Vrac (talk) 00:25, 6 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

I was wondering when you would want this back. I have put it at User:MagistraMundi/Lisandro Aristimuño. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:53, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Restricted Chaos Game

edit

Long shot, but I've been poking around with chaos games lately, and have been unable to replicate any of the restricted chaos games that involve tracking the last two points. My program seems to work correctly, so I have to assume I don't entirely understand the restriction criteria. If its not too much trouble, could I get some clarification on the restrictions? (I've done a decent amount of searching across the internet and I can't find any other references to restricted chaos games outside of the basic square.) As I understand it now, the statement "the currently chosen vertex cannot be 1 or 3 places, respectively away from the two previously chosen vertices" indicates that the current vertex cannot be 1 space counterclockwise from the previous vertex or 3 spaces counterclockwise from the vertex chosen two moves ago. Is this interpretation incorrect, and what would be the correct way to interpret these restrictions? Many thanks, DFerran (talk) 04:06, 13 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

The Basic program would be helpful; I'll poke around a bit more and try to figure it out. Thanks for the help. DFerran (talk) 18:00, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
