User talk:Dmccreary

Welcome!

Hello, Dmccreary, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
• Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
• You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
• You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
• If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
• Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

Happy editing!

Hello, and welcome! You might want to know that the Wikipedia:naming conventions generally suggest using lowercase in names except where required in proper names and other special cases.

Dan, I have made some proposals for sections in ISO/IEC 11179 related to naming to be moved to Data element name (discuss), and for Data element name and Data element definition to be merged into Data element (discuss). Let me know what you think.

Too many capitals

Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style and my recent edits to level of measurement. You're using too many capitals in section headings. Michael Hardy 21:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Edit counter

Dan, you can include a link to an automatic edit counter as follows: Edit counter.

You seem to be a big fan of a disambiguation page! Is this intended to keep the reader guessing? :) RayGates 18:56, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Original research

Dan, original research doesn't belong in Wikipedia but it is welcome at Wikisource. I'm sure you can put it up there. Ifnord 15:05, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Note: After I put the article on wikisource I was told to put it back on Wikipedia.

Hi Dan I saw your comment over at Wikisource and I am sorry you were given the above information as it is incorrect. Wikisource accepts research that has already been published only, therefore not original research. The article read like encylopedia article to me, which is probably why you were advised to put in on Wikipedia. However it seems there are objections to it over here. I understand why this has frustrated you, and I am sorry you had to put work into moving this article around. I left note at the AfD discussion so hopefully this will not happen to anyone else in the future.

I think your best options to preserve this information are to cite sources as much as possible and make it a sub-section on another economics page. Even with your best effforts however, it may still be significantly altered or deleted. That mainly depends on what kind of sources you are able to provide. Because if it truly is original research I do not know of anywhere it will be accepted. However the mathmatical models must be based on something so I think you should be able to put some of this information somewhere. I wish I knew more about the subject to give you more specific advice. If I can help you at all, please ask.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 15:16, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I am glad I have been able to make you feel a bit better about the situation. I suggested making a subsection of another article mainly because that answer the objection that it is a Neologism. I was also just thinking it might work as a section of Wiki rather than an economics article. Although I 'm sure some of info would fit in both places.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 18:28, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Dan. I agree with Birgitte. I apologize for this frustration--this sort of thing happens not uncommonly, unfortunately. Unfortunately, my only suggestion would be to find economics articles that relate to such things as you're talking about in the article. The math--did you devise it yourself or did you take it from somewhere else? Also, the benefits you refer to--did those come from another source or are they original? I'm just trying to brainstorm ways that will help you give your article more credibility so that it stands a better chance of surviving at a wiki, although I can't guarantee that that will be the case.—Zhaladshar ^(Talk) 18:39, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 5% for major edits and 28% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 60 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 21:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Semiotic ${\mathcal {4}}$

JA: Hi, thanks for the note. Plane in the morning so have to rush off. I think the actual triangle figure of the shape and labeling that one usually sees is due either to Charles W. Morris or to Ogden & Richards, and it was later a favorite figure of Walker Percy. The basic idea goes back to Aristotle's On Interpretation — if he drew figures we have lost them. Like the use of figures in geometry, though, the semiotic triangle can be misleading, especially if one thinks that a sign relation is a single triple (o, s, i) instead of being usually a whole set of them. You might want to take a look at this fine paper:

• Awbrey, Jon, and Awbrey, Susan (1995), "Interpretation as Action: The Risk of Inquiry", Inquiry: Critical Thinking Across the Disciplines, 15, 40–52. Eprint

JA: Bye for a while, talk to ya later. Jon Awbrey 04:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for log graph

Thanks for updating the log graph of wikipedia's English growth. I'm amazed at how straight the line is! Andjam 00:26, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

How about starting off with an article within your user space, eg "User:Dmccreary/Wikipedia growth" and advertise the essay in Wikipedia talk:Modelling Wikipedia's growth. If enough people like it, someone may decide to link from a Wikipedia: page to the essay. I don't know anything about semantic wikis, so I can't help you there. Andjam 13:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Dan, I have come across this article you wrote. Please can you provide links to examples of this style of registry, or site other sources. I have never heard of this before, and I have been involved with ISO/IEC 11179 for 10 years. Thank you. RayGates 23:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Dmccreary. Someone wearing a dark colored t-shirt took photos at the meetup. Was that you by any chance? -Susanlesch (talk) 15:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Castor (software)

A tag has been placed on Castor (software), 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 no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. 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. Berserkerus (talk) 14:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Reusing data

Hello, Dmccreary. Sorry to ping about something I know nothing about. I promise to play my old lady card next. You might be interested in this discussion and poll. It came up in Minneapolis, Minnesota somewhere back its talk pages that I thought WP:CITET templates would help. But today, in light of past experience (they haven't been used as a matched set since I joined and fields drop in and out on individual templates) I'm not sure. I also sent a note to the Technology & Society department at W3C but that was cluttered with other topics. Best wishes. -SusanLesch (talk) 20:54, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Syntactica

A tag has been placed on Syntactica requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:23, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Credit Administration Program

A tag has been placed on Credit Administration Program requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cast Iron (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Cast Iron (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
• disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

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

Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Semantic Wiki Information Management

The article Semantic Wiki Information Management has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

File source problem with File:Daybreak-Maxfield-Parrish.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Daybreak-Maxfield-Parrish.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
