[edit] Robust optimization

Hello. You created the article Robust optimization, copying it from the Mathematical Programming Glossary. Indeed, you link to http://glossary.computing.society.informs.org/ at the end of the article. Unfortunately, INFORMS claims copyright on the Glossary. Unless they are willing to release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, we cannot use the text in Wikipedia; see Wikipedia:Copyrights for details. I appreciate your efforts to help, but we have to respect the moral rights of INFORMS and obey the law.

If you can, please explain the concept of robust optimization in your own words, referring to the MP Glossary and other sources for guidance. Otherwise, we will have to delete the article.

Let me know if anything is unclear. Yours, Jitse Niesen (talk) 05:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

========
I have sent an email to MP Glossary maintainer. Please, delete the entry if you have not received a reply from me within Wikipedia's one week Copyright Infringement "Grace Period" (if I understood it correctly). I am Wiki newbie anyways, and it is gonna take me some time to do it right.

I have contacted the MP Glossary maintainer, and here is his reply:
As long as the MPG is cited, it is more than appropriate.

Take care, Al

That's marvellous, thanks for your effort. Could you please forward Allen's reply as described at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission#When permission is confirmed? You can then remove the text of the email here if you wish.

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that the work is done. Entries in the MP Glossary are very concise and they assume quite a bit of background knowledge, while Wikipedia articles should be accessible to the widest possible audience. I made a small edit to show what I'm thinking of; please have a look at the diff. To place an article in the optimization category, use [[Category:Optimization]] and not {[Category:Optimization}} .

Do ask me if anything is unclear. I know that it takes a while to learn the basic things, and ages to learn the details. And don't worry too much about making mistakes; they'll usually be noticed and corrected.

Thanks again, Jitse Niesen (talk) 02:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Style tips

Hi. Just a few notes about style.

  • The names of the authors should not be all capitals, so "and Croess" instead of "AND CROES".
  • There should not be more than one space between paragraphs (wikicode is not html, if you hit the "Return" key several times, you will see a lot of empty space in an article)
  • The "References" section should be after "See also".

These are small things, but I thought I'd let you know. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:37, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your messages to Oleg and Jitse

Messages should be placed at the BOTTOM of the section to which you are responding. Or if yours is a comment on a new subject, it should be made a new section at the bottom of the entire talk page. Use of the "+" tab (between "edit this page" and "history" at the top) is recommended for creating new sections. JRSpriggs 09:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


A tag has been placed on Trade documentation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Hi, I would be the user requesting deletion. This article is a candidate for speedy deletion, under "Criteria for Speedy Deletion: A3" (found here). The exact text is as follows:

3. No content whatsoever. Any article consisting only of links elsewhere (including hyperlinks, category tags and "see also" sections), a rephrasing of the title, and/or attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title. This does not include disambiguation pages.

As you may see, your article [[Trade documentation falls under that category. If you can expand the article to become a stub, please do so. Also, if you feel the page should not be deleted, you may ad the following text to the article to contest the deletion:
{{hangon}} If you have any other questions feel free to ask!--Vox Rationis (Talk | contribs) 01:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Termination.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Termination.PNG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Next Big Thing

Why did you do this edit? That was not a spam link at all. If someone types in "next big thing", expecting to find the Vince Gill album, I'm sure they'd appreciate directions to the article on that album. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Actions • Words))) 05:00, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:ODMA.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ODMA.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
