[edit] Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

Here are some tasks you can do:

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Again, welcome! - UtherSRG 13:35, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Neuroscience

Hey, I notice you have worked on neuroscience-related articles in the past. I'm reviving the Wikipedia:WikiProject Neuroscience and thought you might care to join. Cheers. Semiconscious (talk · home) 09:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Free will

Hi Fnielsen, I noticed that you had added a section to the Free will article, quite some time ago (Dec. 28, 2004). The article has come up for FAR and one of the editors specifically commented on the section on Tourette's that you added (it seems like it's gotten wikified a bit since then, but not much else has changed). My PhD is in neurosicence/cognitive science, and I sort of see where you are going there, but I thought that you might want to add, expand, or comment on your addition. I am happy to work with you on this, if you can help us keep Free will as an FA. If you are interested, you can reply either to my talk page, or to the free will talk page. Thanks Edhubbard 11:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Fnielsen, Thanks for your comments on the free will disucssion page. I think I see what you were after with these comments, and I have tried to expand them to clarify my interpretation of your arguments. However, it should be noted that this section, and to a certain extent, the section above on neuroscience and free will, assume a certain viewpoint, namely that the brain creates our sense of free will, and it is only a matter of knowing whether this occurs before, after, or even independently of our actions. This being a philosophy entry, such assumptions are bound to provoke controversy, and perhaps would justify either eliminating or forking some of this more complex (and loaded) material. Let's see what the other editors have to say, and of course, if I've misinterpreted you, please feel free to correct anything that I've added. Edhubbard 00:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Statistics

Hello. Could you add any new statistics articles that you create to the list of statistical topics?

On another matter: At concordance correlation coefficient the notation is not defined. Michael Hardy 03:30, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Escitalopram (Format of cite journal template)

Hi, whilst there is indeed nothing wrong with your edit, giving full journal names (vs abbrevations) is quite standard in biomedical journals. Indeed the British Medical Journal has formally renamed itself to the abbreviation "BMJ" (see Talk:British Medical Journal) !

Markup was generated through Dibberi's excellent tool http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/templates/ which takes PMID abstract numbers from PubMed database (or indeed ISBNs for books etc). David Ruben Talk 23:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the link to the Wikipedia template filling web-service. I tend to write full journal name with link to the wikipedia article for the journal. Full journal name seems also to be recommended by Wikipedia:Scientific citation guidelinesfnielsen (talk) 18:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of International Conference on Machine Learning

A tag has been placed on International Conference on Machine Learning requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. 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. ukexpat (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mutation Research

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mutation Research, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.mutationresearch.com/mutat/show. 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) 16:58, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Mutation Research

A tag has been placed on Mutation Research requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. 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.

[edit] Mutation Research

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Mutation Research, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Mutation Research. The Evil Spartan (talk) 06:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I have extended the article a bit and removed the deletion tag. — fnielsen (talk) 15:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citation => cite journal

Why change the citation templates on Henrik Svensmark to cite journal? As far as i can see the Citation template is superior, since it understands the difference between a link to the article where its located, and a link to another article. This means that you don't have to change the format of (or add) author-link, when you copy a citation to another article. Is there a MoS guideline that i'm not aware of? --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 20:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I not sure what you mean. I link to its own page will result in a bold. I don't think it is a property of the template — fnielsen (talk) 23:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Ah! You are right. Sorry - i thought it was a feature of the template. Ok, no objections anymore. Even though i like the Citation template better for its features - but now its pure personal preferences ;-) --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 01:07, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
