Hi Fgnievinski, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Mike (talk) 00:09, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

 

A tag has been placed on Category:StarOne satellites requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

A tag has been placed on Geolocation (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

F, when you tag articles for merging, it would be good to at least follow the discussion link and state your reasoning to start the discussion. I'm removing stage merge tags from places with no discussion, like Damped wave. Start over if you want to make the case, which in this case I might agree with. Dicklyon (talk) 06:20, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

F, you put "*computation of the logarithm of the spectral amplitude (directly as a complex value or indirectly in terms of its absolute square, real part, or complex argument)". I don't understand. Sure nobody would use the logarithm of the real part of the complex spectral amplitude, would they? And what does "complex argument" mean here? The argument is the phase of the amplitude, right? That's already a logarithm (the imaginary part of the complex logarithm); not something you'd take a logarithm of. Maybe the "its" refers sometimes to the spectral amplitude, and sometimes to the logarithm? If I understood the intent, I could help fix it. Dicklyon (talk) 17:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Dicklyon:, the correspondence is as follows:

• directly as a complex value: complex cepstrum
• indirectly in terms of its absolute square: power spectrum
• ... real part: real cepstrum
• ... complex argument (redirect for argument of a complex number): phase cepstrum

The description of the last two seems sketchy in the article, but that's what was already there. fgnievinski (talk) 18:21, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

And I think you're right about the phase cepstrum: it seems just the phase of the complex cepstrum, it doesn't follow the same definition as the other types of cepstrum. fgnievinski (talk) 18:43, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

And the real cepstrum uses the log of the magnitude, not the log of the real part. I'm going to rv that edit, and we can try to clarify the intent. Dicklyon (talk) 06:30, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Well, the text ("setting the phase of the spectrum to zero") contradicts the formula, F^-1{log|F{f(t)}|}. I thought the text was more fitting to the name (real), so I was inclined to correct the formula, replacing the magnitude for the real-part operator. But now I've checked a source and it seems the formula is correct, the text is incorrect, and the title is just misleading: y=real(ifft(log(abs(fft(x))))); [1]. fgnievinski (talk) 07:04, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I've noticed that the merge proposal backlog in WP:WikiProject Astronomy lists several of your split proposals (Nutation, List of common misconceptions, Magnetosphere), two of which are more than three months old. The reason why your split proposals haven't received any response is because you have not started any discussion in the articles' respective talk pages.

Hi, the re-purposed drug section for COVID-19 should really have the controversy around the many different drugs that have been tried. In particular, ivermectin has a wealth of studies behind it suggesting that it does work and only a few studies behind it saying it does not work. There has been active suppression of information about this drug. I feel that all of that ought to be covered in Wikipedia which should remain agnostic as an overall body. I would like permission to add that information, in the context of the controversy.

Please re-read WP:TECHNICAL, which is one of the key criteria for a good article. Euclidean distance is a concept studied in secondary school, so the bulk of the article and especially its lead needs to be understandable to that audience. Putting in technical content about metric spaces, early in the article, is a bad idea. The article focuses on distances between pairs of points, and not on spaces of distances, at least until the "Generalizations" section. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:45, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

@David Eppstein: Agreed, that's why I had proposed to define the Euclidean distance in terms of Pythagora's law, which every student should know, and would also allow a concise non-circular definition of Euclidean space. Could you please comment also at Talk:Euclidean_space#Definition_in_the_lead. fgnievinski (talk) 19:49, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Defining distance in terms of the Pythagorean theorem is not a way to make things less technical. So I find it hard to understand what you mean by "agreed". Stop adding advanced concepts to material that must be readable by middle school students. You are making the articles less readable, making the encyclopedia worse, and making more work for others running around after you cleaning up the problems you are making.

The distance between two points is a concept clearly understandable to middle school students. A metric space, fulfilling abstract axioms, with infinitely many points and distances between them, is a much more advanced concept. It is like the difference between first-order and second-order logic. You are taking something for which a deliberate and painstaking effort has been made to cast in first-order terms, and throwing that effort away by jumping into the second-order version from the start. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:54, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

It is NOT a synonym. Euclidean distance is the distance between TWO points. Once you know which two points you are talking about, it is just a single number. The Euclidean metric is not a number. It is a much more complicated mathematical object, a space of distances on infinitely many points. You keep adding text that would make the article start out saying something about "Euclidean metric between two points", which is incorrect and a type error. Even if you wrote correctly about the Euclidean metric, which you have not been doing so far, it would be far too advanced a concept for the start of this article. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:42, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hey. Your user page seems to be set up to redirect to your talk page, but its broken right now. Is that intentional? If not, I'd recommend just moving the lowercase template down to fix it. Aidan9382 _(talk) 17:51, 28 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

The article MicMac (software) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of noteworthiness, no evidence of notability.

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.

@Fgnievinski did you mean to blank an entire section in 2023 China balloon incident without edit summary or was it by accident? I figured it's unusual for an experienced editor, so wanted to check in first. Ppt91 (talk) 04:29, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

A tag has been placed on Stellar parallax (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

  The redirect Spirule has been listed at redirects for discussion to determine whether its use and function meets the redirect guidelines. Anyone, including you, is welcome to comment on this redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 March 11 § Spirule until a consensus is reached. D.Lazard (talk) 16:57, 11 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

A recent edit of yours to Root locus analysis added 9 citations to the page, all to verify a single sentence. This is citation WP:OVERKILL, resulting in an article that's more difficult to read. Is there a particular reason this many are required (in which case they could be merged into one larger citation) or would it be better to trim them down? The challenged notability of "Spirule" doesn't seem like it requires more than one or two sources, though I agree that the manual is poor for establishing notability due to being a primary source rather than a secondary one. Leaving in just "Engineering Systems and Automatic Control" seems fine, as it mentions the Spirule being "widely used". Randi Moth (talk) 19:44, 12 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

I'd agree with condensing the links, after the RfD is closed; I also encourage you to give your opinion at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2023_March_11#Spirule. Thanks! fgnievinski (talk) 01:24, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Administrator changes   Ingenuity   Ddstretch Prodego Resolute

CheckUser changes   Courcelles

  Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
• As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

  Technical news

• Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

  Arbitration

• The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

  Miscellaneous

• Following a community referendum, the arbitration policy has been modified to remove the ability for users to appeal remedies to Jimbo Wales.

There is a new update for Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions. Please, come and read it!

In this issue we present the new interface for multilingual editing, and we discuss the results of our "fix-it week".
