Revdel on Diffusion equation
[edit]Hello. I wanted to let you know I removed the revdel template from this article. When I checked the le.scirp.org/Html/14-7502495_61511.htm link you provided it appears that the paper is released under the CC-BY 4.0 license. This actually is a license compatible with Wikipedia as opposed to the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license which is not. This is a confusing area in which we all occasionally make mistakes; if you think I've made one here please let me know. And thank you for caring about copyright, many do not, and I know it can be thankless work. [[User:|Xymmax]] So let it be written So let it be done 05:25, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks Xymmax for checking. I think I have confused the two licenses before. It's always nice not to have to do a revdel and lose access to other editors' changes. StarryGrandma (talk) 07:46, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
Please participate to the talk pages consultation
[edit]Hello
Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.
We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Facto Post – Issue 24 – 17 May 2019

Two dozen issues, and this may be the last, a valediction at least for a while. It's time for a two-year summation of ContentMine projects involving TDM (text and data mining). Wikidata and now Structured Data on Commons represent the overlap of Wikimedia with the Semantic Web. This common ground is helping to convert an engineering concept into a movement. TDM generally has little enough connection with the Semantic Web, being instead in the orbit of machine learning which is no respecter of the semantic. Don't break a taboo by asking bots "and what do you mean by that?" The ScienceSource project innovates in TDM, by storing its text mining results in a Wikibase site. It strives for compliance of its fact mining, on drug treatments of diseases, with an automated form of the relevant Wikipedia referencing guideline MEDRS. Where WikiFactMine set up an API for reuse of its results, ScienceSource has a SPARQL query service, with look-and-feel exactly that of Wikidata's at query.wikidata.org. It also now has a custom front end, and its content can be federated, in other words used in data mashups: it is one of over 50 sites that can federate with Wikidata. The human factor comes to bear through the front end, which combines a link to the HTML version of a paper, text mining results organised in drug and disease columns, and a SPARQL display of nearby drug and disease terms. Much software to develop and explain, so little time! Rather than telling the tale, Facto Post brings you ScienceSource links, starting from the how-to video, lower right.
The review tool requires a log in on sciencesource.wmflabs.org, and an OAuth permission (bottom of a review page) to operate. It can be used in simple and more advanced workflows. Examples of queries for the latter are at d:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource project/Queries#SS_disease_list and d:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource_project/Queries#NDF-RT issue. Please be aware that this is a research project in development, and may have outages for planned maintenance. That will apply for the next few days, at least. The ScienceSource wiki main page carries information on practical matters. Email is not enabled on the wiki: use site mail here to Charles Matthews in case of difficulty, or if you need support. Further explanatory videos will be put into commons:Category:ContentMine videos. If you wish to receive no further issues of Facto Post, please remove your name from our mailing list. Alternatively, to opt out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Physicist article creation award |
| Thank you for accepting my submission to Articles for creation on the physicist Philip Moriarty, creating the article and assessing it as Start-Class. I started writing the draft at the Wellcome Wikipedia Workshop, Downing College, Cambridge and I have been working on improving the draft over the weeks to satisfy the academic notability guidelines. Habet Hominem sapientem manibvs (talk) 10:18, 31 August 2019 (UTC) |
- Glad it worked. Awards from national scholarly organizations are always a good thing to look for in these cases. StarryGrandma (talk) 17:45, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
Re Nomination of Centre for Magnetic Resonance Investigations for deletion
[edit]Thanks for letting me know about this. I think that the right decision was made, as the centre in question nolonger exists. The MRI scanners are now all owned by the hospital trust, a situation which is wholly un-noteworthy.--Dj manton (talk) 10:37, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Re: Lillian Moller Gilbreth
[edit]Thank you for your clarification on Mrs Gilbreth's family. Our 1948 edition of Cheaper by the Dozen does not make the distinction that you're later version, evidently does. Beth Timken (talk) 15:35, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
[edit]Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Disambiguation link notification for December 7
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Barrett Watten, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Grenier (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
