[edit] Deletion

At the risk of sounding annoyed, the reason your article got deleted is that you didn't even begin to tell what the film was about. There is a criterion for speedying articles that are lacking content. You've remade the article into something worthy of inclusion, however.

Cannin, one of the things that seem to get lost in translation around here is that the end user needs to be kept in mind. Not your fault, but I really feel the need to state that clearly. A good short article should begin as what you now have. Simply adding an opening sentence, hanging a stub article on it and hoping someone will expand it for you isn't the best use of the site's resources.

I'm very glad that you expanded the article, by the way. - Lucky 6.9 04:49, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Statistics articles

Hello. When you create a new statistics article, could you add it to the list of statistics topics? Also, please note this difference:

m(1-m)+[\frac{(\theta-m)\delta}{p}]
m(1-m)+\left[\frac{(\theta-m)\delta}{p}\right]

(the latter format is standard). The same thing applies with round parentheses:

m(1-m)+(\frac{(\theta-m)\delta}{p})
m(1-m)+\left(\frac{(\theta-m)\delta}{p}\right)

And notice the the title word or title phrase in an article should be bold at its first appearance (I took care of this in McNemar's test). Thanks. Michael Hardy 00:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Better source request for Image:Robert adler.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Robert adler.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. —Angr 10:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
