[edit] Confidence interval
I can see that dropping Category:Statistics from the Confidence Interval article makes some sense, on the view that Hypothesis Testing is the next higher category, but this nesting relationship between the categories is not 100% logical. One can certainly draw a confidence interval without testing an hypothesis. In fact, the AMS's Math Subject Classification has BOTH:
- Statistics -> Parametric Inference -> Hypothesis Testing AND
- Statistics -> Parametric Inference -> Tolerance and Confidence Regions
So they consider CI's and Hypothesis Testing to be sibling categories. If it were up to me, I would vote to keep Category:Statistics on this article. EdJohnston 21:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Propaganda
Please do not spread your Swedish nationalist propaganda and lies in articles such as Mikael Agricola; it is considered vandalism. --Jaakko Sivonen 14:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AWB
Do you really mean that the sentence should start with a lower case letter: [1]? Please be more careful when using AWB. Den fjättrade ankan 18:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Are you really busting my chops over one bad edit? If you'd taken a look at the edit history, I'd done thousands of perfectly correct edits, so one mistake is hardly worth a note. Please be more careful when sending notes. Thanks, Firsfron of Ronchester 20:43, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Finlandswedes"
I am unhappy with your recent modification in the name of article "Swedish-speaking Finns". "Finlandswedes" is horrible English and a non-existent word. You should not make so drastic changes without any discussion and careful argumenation. "Finlandswedes" is a literal but also an extremely poor translation of the commonly used word suomenruotsalaiset or finlandsvenskar. "Swedish-speaking Finns" is not a problem-free term, but it is better English, and many or most Swedish-speakers in Finland would accept that name. Very few Swedish-speaking Finlanders actually consider themselves as ethnic Swedes nowadays. Kind regards,--217.112.249.156 22:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FamilySearch
As you have contributed to a related article, you might want to know about the AfD for FamilySearch. -- 63.224.136.62 04:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Finnish Civil War
Hello, you changed the article's name wihtout any notification to Finnish Freedom War. Civil War is NPOV. There are many names and modern day historians point out that all of them have a propagandist difference. The most neutral is Civil War, and I don't see why it should be changed. The article is now FA, so every modification should be thought of. Let's keep it NPOV. --Pudeo (Talk) 13:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Swedishspeaking" Finns is not correct English
You are apparently trying to write English according to the Swedish grammar. I think it really should be "Swedish-speaking" in English, so please return the correct in form in the article.--130.234.75.19 14:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Personal Ancestral File
Could you explain in a little more detail why you removed the Free Gen. Software category from this article? I know that freeware and free software differ, but I don't understand the difference well enough to see why the cat was removed. I'd appreciate it, since it'd help me to have a better grasp of the two concepts. Thanks. Tijuana Brass 22:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Continual page moves without consensus
Wikipedia has clear procedures on moving pages. Other than in exceptional circumstances all pages should be moved by following the instructions on the Requested Moves page. Unilateral moves can trigger edit wars, break links and cause a lot of problems. Please stop unilaterally moving pages and follow the correct procedure.

== Miranda-IM == Windows-only vs Linux version
"Miranda IM" by itself, according to miranda-im.org is currently Windows-only. One of its main features is ease of installation. The Linux build announced on the forum is not by any means a package, for any version of Linux. For this reason I nominate keeping Category:Windows-only instant messaging clients, until there's a Linux package available. --Lexein 14:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
