[edit] Some comments

  • I think you may be creating articles that should be material added to other articles instead; Wikipedia is not supposed to be a glossary or a dictionary.
  • Don't capitalize initial letters in article titles gratuitously (e.g., I'm going to move Schwarz Criterion so that the c is in lower case).
  • Initial context-setting is often needed. I've added the words "In statistics,..." to the beginnings of some of your articles. I read all the way through the first paragraph of schismatic temperament before I found out it's about music rather than about a psychiatric disorder; one should spare the reader not familiar with statistics.

[edit] Income distribution - United States

Hello. I've moved this page so that the initial "d" is lower-case, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Do you know that this page is orphaned, i.e., no pages link to it? Michael Hardy 22:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Might be, I was taking it from requested pages--Dirknachbar 19:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] AfD nomination of Richard Normand Langlois

An editor has nominated Richard Normand Langlois, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard Normand Langlois and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. --Eastmain 12:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- WebHamster 16:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fatih Birol

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Fatih Birol, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.world-nuclear.org/sym/1999/birobio.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Dirknachbar! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.
