Speedy deletion of Integration with other techniques[edit]

A tag has been placed on Integration with other techniques requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.

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. Woland (talk) 21:10, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lindy, I removed the speedy template, and I also removed some extremely unencyclopedic and uncivil info: see here. Please take note of our policy on civility and no personal attacks. Please assume good faith also. I conclude that your page does not totally meet speedy, but I am considering putting it to proposed deletion if its notability is not established.

Proposed deletion of Integration with other techniques[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Integration with other techniques, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Lindy, I have to say that it's not quite clear to me what you have in mind for this article. At the moment it looks very much like a textbook so a natural suggestion would be to move it to Wikibooks, say somewhere in b:Calculus/Integration/Contents. If you do want to keep it in Wikipedia, then there are a couple of things that need to be done: the title should be clearer ("Integration with other techniques" begs the question: other than what?), the article should give a definition of techniques like "Integration Using Parametric Derivatives", the tone should be less like a teacher and more like an encyclopaedia, and there should be references. I hope this helps to explain the difference between Wikipedia and Wikibooks. Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 00:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Policies to read, and how to post on talk pages[edit]

You will get on better on Wikipedia if you take some time to look round, read the advice on the editing pages, and learn how things are done.

Note the advice at the bottom of every edit page: "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly... do not submit it."
Wikipedia policies every editor should read include What Wikipedia is not and Ownership of articles, as well as Civility.
...and the three key content policies: Verifiability, No Original Research and Neutral Point of View.
When you post a message on a talk page it is courteous, if you are starting a new topic, to help the recipient distinguish your message by providing a header, either by putting two = signs at each side, e.g. ==Subject==, or by using the "new section" tab at the top.
Also, so that everyone can see who said what when, you should sign your message by putting four tilde characters ~~~~ at the end, which the system will convert into a signature with your username and the time and date, like this: JohnCD (talk) 11:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Context![edit]

Concerning integration with other techniques, aside from neglect of standard Wikipedia conventions in a variety of respects, I see serious context problems, starting with the title: other than what? "Other" can be understood within a context, but here there is none.

"Suppose you wanted to find the integral" is no way to begin a Wikipedia article. You need to do some context-setting first.

Note that you're using too many capital letters in section headings (see WP:MOS) and you're failing to indent "displayed" TeX. Michael Hardy (talk) 22:24, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Non-integer representation[edit]

I have nominated Non-integer representation, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Non-integer representation. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. — sligocki (talk) 00:09, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Cameron Mitchell (disambiguous)[edit]

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Cameron Mitchell (disambiguous). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Cameron Mitchell. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Cameron Mitchell - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Shadowjams (talk) 09:41, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
