Hi, I saw your photos of Theaker in the commons, and corrected the caption. She was born in NZ, but lives locally. Do you have any other photos? or know of any? She is performing on Sat and Sun next at the Zummerfestival in Freidrickshafen(?) so if you know of anyone going to that, photos of that show would be very welcome. She has her own web site BTW, http://www.artyms.com. Would you mind your photos being used on it? with atribution of course.

Feel free to use the pictures on the web site. All in all I made a few dozen photos of her during her stay in Linz; of course not all of them are worth being published. Anyway, if you give me some address (email, ftp, postal), I can send them to you and you can make your own selection. --NeoUrfahraner 06:21, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, my e-mail address is prep@prep.synonet.com, drop me a message and we can go from there. Prep 18:57, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Prostitution in Austria

Hi NeoUrfahraner. You are off to such a great start on the article Prostitution in Austria that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. Appearing on the Main Page would help bring publicity to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee (Talk) 14:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I am glad to hear this. As I understand, it is not required that I nominate the article myself - if you think it may qualify, feel free to nominate it. Since I am not a native English speaker, however, I am afraid that the language of the article is not yet good enough; maybe it would be helpful if you could make some language improvements before nominating it. Thank you, --NeoUrfahraner 15:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why is the p-value not the probability of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis?

The p-value is not the probability of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis. Why? "the p-value is the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme as a given data point, under the null hypothesis" If a reject the null hypothesis when p is say, lower than 5%, and repeat the test for many true null hypotheses, than I will reject true null hypotheses in approx. 5% of the tests. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 05:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you're mistaking p-values with significance levels. 5% is the significance level, not the p-value. If you get a p-value of 30% and your significance level is 5%, then you don't reject the null hypothesis. 5% would then be the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis, given that the null hypothesis is true, and 30% would be the p-value.
