Wikipedia conventions edit

Note my edits to Distinctiveness centrality, bringing it into line with some standard Wikipedia usages. In particular:

  • I changed "Distinctiveness Centrality is a network centrality measure" to "Distinctiveness centrality is a network centrality measure". Two errors were in the original: the incorrect capitalization of the initial c, and the lack of bolding. When the title phrase in a Wikipedia article appears for the first time, usually in the first sentence, it is set in bold.
  • I changed "In addition, only D1, D3 and D4 are designed to consider arc weights." to "In addition, only D1, D3 and D4 are designed to consider arc weights." The "D"s are italicized because that is how they appear in TeX documents and in Wikipedia when they are between "math" tags, and the subscripts are actual subscripts. This change was also made in several other places in the article.
  • "Displayed" (as opposed to inline) TeX is indented. I found them unindented and I changed that.
  • The period or comma at the end of "displayed" TeX often gets misaligned and amounts to a mismatch of fonts when it is outside, rather than inside, the "math" tags. So I put them inside.
  • The capitalization of the initial "n" in the section heading "Directed networks" was incorrect. Wikiepdia article titles and section headings do not capitalize initials merely because they are in article titles or section headings. I changed it to lower case.

These things are codified in WP:MOS and WP:MOSMATH.

Another thing to be aware of is the question of which other Wikipedia articles ought to link to a new article. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:41, 2 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot @Michael Hardy: I'll keep that in mind and I am trying to replicate your changes in the Italian page. Cheers Somethingtoshare (talk) 08:05, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Semantic Brand Score edit

 

The article Semantic Brand Score has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Looks like academic spam to me: all sources that discuss the topic have a common author, then padded with a large number of sources that are relied upon synthetically to support claims in the article but do not actually discuss the subject of the article. Article creator appears to be an SPA whose contributions all focus on promoting the work of the same author.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

My reply, hope this helps: Removing the deletion note for several reasons, e.g.: I am the original article creator, a person, not a SPA as suggested in the deletion note. There is no commercial purpose behind the described metric, which also has open source Python code. There are now many secondary sources referring the the metric. This are not just scientific papers authored by the metric inventor. Several other studies use and describe the metric and also newpaper articles. For some (not all of them) see the talk page Somethingtoshare (talk) 12:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

SPA significa "single purpose account". --Vituzzu (talk) 12:30, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Grazie non lo sapevo. Volevo contribuire ad altro ma non ne ho ancora avuto il tempo, è nei programmi. Capisco i commenti sulle nuove pagine e mi sta bene, anche se mi dispiace per via dello sforzo, che vengano elimnate. Per la pagina del Semantic Brand Score proprio invece non capisco, vista l'ampiezza delle fonti anche secondarie.Somethingtoshare (talk) 12:38, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
