Robust Bayesian analysis

Your article would have been honorable work for the most experienced editor and sophisticated statistician on Wikipedia. It is astounding that you wrote it for your debut.

Fréchet inequalities

Hello.

I've added an "orphan" tag to Fréchet inequalities because no other articles linked to it. I did add one link: from the list of inequalities. Whenever you create a new article, one question to think about is which other articles ought to link to it. Michael Hardy (talk) 04:02, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the help, and your advice. I think there was one article (Probability bounds analysis) linked to it at the time, but I appreciate the sentiment. I've now added further links so that there are links from 7 distinct articles, and 4 category assignments. As I believe this satisfies the orphan policy, I went ahead and deleted the orphan tag. Please let me know if I did something wrong. Thanks for your attention. Best regards, Scwarebang (talk) 20:07, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

In case you are not checking, I have responded to your message on my talk page. Melcombe (talk) 21:12, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

See my talk page

I responded to your question on my talk page. I notice you already made the edit. I'd still suggest you rewrite it in a way that is more enlightening to the naive reader, and move the more pedagogically abstruse points that are relevant only to the expert reader to a footnote.

Ways to improve Bohdan Dobrzański Institute of Agrophysics

Hi, I'm Sadads. Scwarebang, thanks for creating Bohdan Dobrzański Institute of Agrophysics!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Though Notable, the article needs additional references which use independent reliable sources so that the content can be maintained for the long run on Wikipedia.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Sadads (talk) 02:18, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Donner60. An edit you recently made to Stephen Snyder-Hill seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 02:37, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

You do not need to list references to show that an article is not an orphan. Simply click on "What links here" in the sidebar. The linking articles should show up. Then, just delete the template. Any further discussion or clarification can be on the talk page.

Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 02:41, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Donner60. I wasn't actually trying to document the links to justify removing the orphan tag so much as trying to keep a record of what I did on the other pages. Scwarebang (talk) 21:44, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Unreferenced edits

You've recently made a substantial edit, but unfortunately didn't list any sources for the biographical data added. Per WP guidelines, any information about living persons needs to be clearly sourced, and if not could be challenged or deleted. Please add inline citations to support the material you added. cherkash (talk) 04:15, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Copyright infringement

I can see that you are a new editor, but you need to know that Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. You must not copy and paste text from sources you find on the web into articles as you did in the article Institute for Risk and Uncertainty from this source. I have removed the infringing text, but the material you copied is subject to copyright, as is almost everything on the web, and when creating or expanding articles, you should completely rewrite the information from the source using your own words. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:30, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Response

Thanks for your concern. I have now completely rewritten the material in question and placed it in the article.

However, I think we might discuss your concern. I think you were a bit draconian in your edit. You removed the entire Mission section, and offered nothing to replace it. I believe the removal was not necessary. Consider the textual comparison below. There were three short paragraphs in the Mission section. The text from the Risk Institute’s website (https://www.riskinstitute.uk/about/) appears below in blue, which I assert is fair use here for the purpose of our scholarship on this matter. The parallel text in the offending Wikipedia article is shown in red, with underling used to mark textual similarities.

I agree that you might have a valid complaint about the second paragraph. But the third paragraph is wholly different from the text in the Risk Institute’s website, and you threw it away like the baby in the bathwater. It is hard to imagine how the use of the two phrases in the first paragraph could constitute copyright infringement under even a very strict reading of law, especially considering the need under fair use to create a faithful characterisation of the organisation’s professed purpose. Perhaps we could have quoted the two phrases and brought the reference to the end of the paragraph.

Helping people and organisations create a safer, more secure, and more efficient world, we offer cutting-edge methods to quantify, mitigate and manage risk and uncertainty.

The Risk Institute's mission[2] is to create methods to quantify, mitigate and manage risk and uncertainty to help people and organisations create a safer, more secure, and more efficient world.

Natural and engineered systems can exhibit extreme or unfavourable states that can lead to injury or death, financial loss, or just suboptimal performance. Anticipating and preventing these outcomes requires understanding how they arise given fluctuations in environmental conditions, actions by adversaries, imperfect or limited measurements, and incomplete scientific understanding of the underlying physical processes.

Because natural and engineered systems can exhibit extreme or unfavourable states that can lead to injury or death, financial loss, or just suboptimal performance, anticipating and preventing these outcomes requires understanding how they arise given fluctuations in environmental conditions, actions by adversaries, imperfect or limited measurements, and incomplete scientific understanding of the underlying physical processes.

We develop methods to assess and forecast risks and to make optimal decisions in the face of such uncertainty. Our research spans many disciplines within engineering, as well as the physical sciences, mathematics and computer science, medicine and the life sciences, economics and finance, and even psychology and other social sciences.

The Risk Institute promotes risk analysis and uncertainty quantification as a part of science and engineering that uses knowledge from physics, biology, chemistry, environmental and life sciences, medicine, economics and finance, psychology and social sciences for solving diverse problems. It develops new methods, experimental and numerical tools, products, and technological and service innovations for engineering and mathematical modeling of the natural and social resources.

Although you could not have known this, the passages whose copyright you were worried about were in fact originally written for inclusion in the Wikipedia article, and were recently added to the Risk Institute's webpage (which it is allowed to do of course as Wikipedia text is in the public domain).

Ways to improve Institute for Risk and Uncertainty

Hello, Scwarebang,

Thank you for creating Institute for Risk and Uncertainty.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Thank you for your new article on the Institute for Risk and Uncertainty, but I and other editors have pointed out some issues. A Wikipedia article should not be written like a promotion for the organization, and more sources are needed to verify that this organization has actually received notice in the media. For pointers, follow the links in the notices at the top of the page.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
