[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, TheSeven! Thanks for the interesting comments about WP:NPOV tags and the ArbCom's unenviable task of distinguishing the difference between content disputes from the allegedly restricted matters within its purported purview (e.g., bullying, Wikiturfing, Wikistalking, etc.). Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
- Take a look at the New contributors' help page, the Wikipedia Tutorial and the Manual of Style, and If you still need any help, you can always post your question at the Help Desk.
- When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia and Assume good faith, but please keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
- Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
- Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!
And some odds and ends: Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: ~~~~. Best of luck, TheSeven, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 21:37, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Foundations of statistics
An editor has nominated Foundations of statistics, 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/Foundations of statistics 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. BJBot (talk) 15:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Empathy and caution
If I made the rules around here, then there'd be no question that you'd get to tell clueless people to bugger-off from discussions of whether there should be a separate article on the foundations of statistics; I'd probably direct harsher rhetoric at them than you have. But I don't make the rules, and real civility (rules designed to minimize conflict in general) is not understood by those who do. —SlamDiego←T 01:16, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Kind thanks and much appreciated! I'm sure you are right. TheSeven (talk) 09:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Placement of main article in category
Hi, TheSeven!
I see that you didn't like my breaking out the main article statistics from the alphabetic listing in the article list section of Category:Statistics, by means of the ordinary trick. This is really not very important; the article anyhow is listed in the text introduction of the category, and supposing that you saw what the idea was before you rejected it, I have nothing more to add.
