[edit] Question on Category: Combinatorial principles

Hi Tomo - you wrote: I am in a process of building Category:Combinatorial principles and you just deleted it. Is there any reason why it should be destroyed? Tomo 00:43, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sorry if I trod on your toes - but I haven't deleted what you wrote. What you were building was an article - and it's still there, as Combinatorial principles. Categories are simply there to list articles that are related, not to write at length about what the categories are for. As for the category itself, it's still there, but empty. It would only ever have had eight articles, if Combinatorial principles is to be believed, which isn't really sufficient for a separate category, especially since its parent category only has about 80 articles. If you wish to repopulate it with articles, feel free - it just didn't seem a viable category to me (also feel free to argue its case at Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion#Category:Combinatorial_principles. Oh, and categories are never stubs - the correct template to use for an underpopulated category is Template:popcat! Grutness|hello? 04:57, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I wish I knew about the article Combinatorial principles. My intention was not to write an article but just to give temporary information to all who would want to help me in my little project... someone should make this template (popcat) more popular in various help pages...

You're probably right about that. Still, there's a basic guideline on Wikipedia is that if something is worth a category, it should at the very least have an article about it, so having the article was a good idea anyway. (Oh, and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope this hasn't put you off what we do here! :) Grutness|hello? 07:05, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question on Category Combinatorial principles II

Hi again - you wrote: Since I am new, I do not know even know if this is the right way to communicate. What I would like to have is two types of links, say bla bla and See also:bla bla that would automatically create a cross reference in both articles.

I don't know of any such tools, unfortunately - the best way is simply do it by hand, I think - add a "See also" heading at the bottom of the article, and put any cross-referencing links there. Either than that (probably the better way), try to weave your cross-references into the text simply by mentioning the connection between the two - e.g., if you've got two related fields of study called Fnudd and Sponn, then in the Fnudd article asss a sentence somewhere saying ""Fnudd shares similarities with the field of Sponn, which also deals with blah blah blah", and then do something similar in the other article.
There may be some automatic cross-referencing system... it might be worth asking at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical). Hope that helps! Grutness|hello? 13:43, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summary

Dear Tomo. Thank you for your contributions to math articles. I have just one request. Would you mind adding an edit summary when you make changes? That is very helpful for people having a certain page on their watchlist. Enjoy! Oleg Alexandrov 01:22, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ok. Tomo 23:26, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Mathematics Participants list

Hi Tomo, welcome to Wikipedia, and the Mathematics Project. Thanks for adding your name to the table of Participants on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics, but as of now that table is only a prototype for a new format for the list. The real list is at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Participants, you should add your name there, as well as some comments by way of introduction. If and when the new format is adopted your entry will be transfered with everyone else's to the new tabular format. Paul August ☎ 20:05, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

OK. I will do that when I become more familiar with the system. Tomo 23:28, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Metric space

Thank you for your contribtutions to this article. Just one remark. On Wikipedia, all variables are supposed to be italic, so you write d instead of simply d for example. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov 08:46, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! Please feel free to improve any of my contributions. I am a little older so it may take a while before I get used to the style of Wikipedia. Tomo 18:22, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It takes all of us a while to get used to doing things in a certain style. I would say the most important thing is to put all articles you edit on your watchlist, and watch them periodically to see who changed what. In this way you can learn some things and also keep track of bad contributions (which unfortunately do happen). Good luck! Oleg Alexandrov 19:20, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Graph k6.png

Image deletion warning The image Image:Graph k6.png has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. If you feel that this image should not be deleted, please go there to voice your opinion.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:K33 torus.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:K33 torus.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Longhair 11:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Black_box.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Black_box.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Desargues.png

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Desargues.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 16:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AWT1.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AWT1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 13:08, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
