World's funniest joke

[edit]

Hello. I just saw what you did to The Funniest Joke in the World; the article you were looking for is at World's Funniest Joke.
And please note that the world's funniest joke, as found out by that research, is not the one you posted - although I find your joke lots funnier than that one.

Hey "0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,..." ;)I wasn't aware of that page. Made the necessary changes, with pointers on both pages, and fixed capitalization of the titles while I was there Peak Freak 10:09, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hehe, I see you know my sequence pretty well... or maybe you looked at this article? That's cheating! ;) Well, I see you only fixed capitalisation for one of the pages. Should the other one be fixed? Or was the real title of the sketch, in fact, "The Funniest Joke in the World" with that capitalisation? --Fibonacci 05:55, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, PF, for a good call on the casing needed on World's Funniest Joke. However, please click and the "move" link on most pages, read carefully, and leave me a note if you don't understand. Your cut-and-paste move/rename left behind the history. It almost never takes an admin to do a proper move. But it does take one in this case, to clean up after your c&p one. (There's something flaky re delete-and-undelete, so i'm not sure i can complete this one immediately, but keep an eye on it and you'll eventually see the proper result.) Thanks again, and keep up the good work. --Jerzy(t) 02:42, 2004 Jul 14 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of the move-button yet. Won't make the mistake any more in the future. Peak Freak 07:06, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Dutch Wikipedia symposium in Rotterdam (27/11/2004)

[edit]

Hi,

As a personal initiative I want to mention to you http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Symposium/Najaar_2004

There have been some voices that Dutch-speaking Belgian wikipedians might be underrepresented at that venue, so I took the liberty to post this message on the talk page of all people I found on Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Belgium.

If this doesn't apply to you (e.g. while French-speaking, or not interested in Dutch wikipedia,...) simply ignore this message.

USVA emblem

[edit]

Hi! I do like the picture you just added to the article Atheism, but this is an international encyclopedia, and I feel that your pic isn't really representative of all atheists in the world, so I deleted it. I'm sure it will be useful in other articles. I hope you don't take this personally in any way! (And if you don't agree with me, you can just replace it, or we can discuss it on my talk page.) Cheers! --Wasell 14:25, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More information needed about File:Bnscreen.jpg

[edit]

Hello, Peak Freak!

It was really helpful of you to you to upload File:Bnscreen.jpg. However, we need to properly format the image license information in order to keep and use new images.

If you can edit the description and add one of these templates, that would be great. If you're not sure how or would like some help, please ask us at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks again! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:05, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited BioNumerics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Python (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

More information needed about File:Applied Maths Logo.gif

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Applied Maths Logo.gif. However, it needs some more work before it is okay to use on Wikipedia.

Please click here and do the following:

  1. Add a description of where the image comes from (not what it is) and who the creator is. Please be specific, and include a link if you can.
  2. Find the appropriate license from the list of free, non-free media, or public domain options. Copy the license template and paste it in the file's page, and save.

If you follow these steps, your image can help enhance Wikipedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the media copyright questions page.

Thank you for your contribution! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 12:05, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Operational taxonomic unit, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Node and Terminal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Orphaned non-free image File:Applied Maths Logo.gif

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Applied Maths Logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:40, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interview invitation from a Wikipedia researcher in the University of Minnesota

[edit]

I am Weiwen Leung, a student at the University of Minnesota. I am currently conducting a study on how people on the LGBT+ Wikipedians group use and contribute to Wikipedia.

Would you be willing to answer a short 5 minute survey? If so, please email me at leung085@umn.edu. It would be helpful if you could include your Wikipedia username when emailing.

Thank you, Weiwen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weiwensg (talkcontribs) 18:48, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article Stan Honey has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. reddogsix (talk) 21:07, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article 2D gel analysis software has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced for over two years, prior sourcing seems fairly lackluster

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
