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". 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.

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. Splitting an article does not work by simply tagging a section; please see WP:SPLIT for additional information on splitting articles. Nrco0e (talk · contribs) 02:25, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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]

@XOR'easter: disputing the notability of the term "Euclidean metric" doesn't lend much credit to one's opinion. fgnievinski (talk) 21:31, 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]

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.

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.

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]

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

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.

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
• A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

Arbitration

• The SmallCat dispute case has closed.

Per your request, I've split off the "About"/"See also" section of Fluid dynamics, and used it to populate the sections of a new outline called Outline of fluid dynamics. It's just a start, and still needs a lot of attention.

Feel free to expand and improve it as you see fit. Once you think it is ready for prime time, remove the comment delimiters (<!-- -->)from the categories. If you have any questions or further requests about the outline, feel free to post them on the outline's talk page, and ping me from there. ;)

Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   04:26, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! fgnievinski (talk) 05:12, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome.

By the way, if you'd like to try your hand at creating outlines, you can get a quick start by using the Template:Outline generator.

It must be used via substitution, like this: {{subst:Outline generator|argument 1 |argument 2}} where you replace "argument 1" with the subject name starting in small case (large case if it is normally capitalized), and "argument 2" with the subject name starting in large case). The arguments are for completing various headings and other elements within the outline.

It would be best to start an outline in your userspace, and transfer it to the main namespace when it is ready.

Don't add categories to it until after it has been moved to article space, otherwise your userspace draft will show up in the category system.

If you decide to build outlines, good luck, and have fun.    — The Transhumanist   09:48, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

Guideline and policy news

• Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page.

• Following a motion, the Extended Confirmed Restriction has been amended, removing the allowance for non-extended-confirmed editors to post constructive comments on the "Talk:" namespace. Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
• The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
• Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Radio into Draft:Radio communication. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Nobody (talk) 07:27, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Vector quantity, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scalar quantity.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 07:55, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fgnievinski. On 2024, September 8 you created what was effectively a new article at Vector quantity. See your diff. It is a relatively small and not-yet-mature article. Over the next 25 minutes you edited a number of redirects so that the redirect target was no longer Euclidean vector but, instead, was your new article Vector quantity. Those edits include Free vector, Bound vector, Physical vector, Vector (physics), Vector (classical mechanics), Sliding vector, and Vector physical quantity.

Vector quantity is inappropriate as a redirect target for these important titles and concepts in physics. The article is small and only a day old. I have rated it as stub class. Seeing you clearly object to the article Euclidean vector as the redirect target, a more appropriate target is the excellent article at Vector (mathematics and physics).

Interestingly, there is an existing redirect for Vector (physics and mathematics) which takes the reader to Vector (mathematics and physics). Why would the redirect for Vector (physics) take the reader to a different target article than the one for Vector (physics and mathematics)? I have amended the redirect for Vector (physics) to change the target to Vector (mathematics and physics). I will leave the others for you to amend.

Your new article at Vector quantity is a stub class article. Please do not use it as a redirect target. Instead, please use either Vector (mathematics and physics) or Euclidean vector. Thank you. Dolphin (t) 04:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vector (mathematics and physics) is just a summary-style umbrella for other articles where the content is actually developed. Before I included an automatic excerpt of Vector quantity, there was very little content about physics. It also suffers from a lack of focus, covering tuples as well as more abstract non-geometric vectors.

Euclidean vector partially overlaps with Vector quantity. But not all physical vectors are Euclidean vectors, as described in the new article. The concept of sliding vector was not covered before; it's best explained together with the concepts of bound vector and free vector. Plus, the formulation of geometric vectors as a directed line segment (DLM, requiring 6 numbers in space) is very distinct from an Euclidean vector (requiring only 3 coordinates in space). The article on Euclidean vectors used to give the wrong impression about a bound vector, not recognizing it involves twice as many coordinates. It also dismissed DLS as if it were only when needed when drawing a vector graphically. Actually, sources now cited in the new article are emphatic DLS is embodied in the very definition of "vector from A to B".

For the reasons above, only Physical vector should be retargeted, for consistency with Vector (physics). I'd like to also propose moving section Euclidean vector#Physics into the new article, Vector quantity. fgnievinski (talk) 05:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your explanation! Every article on Wikipedia about vectors is a technical article. Wikipedia has some excellent guidance at WP:Make technical articles understandable based on the theme that articles are read by a very broad audience - ranging from Users such as yourself with a high level of expertise in the subject, down to other Users and casual readers who are here out of curiosity to find out what a vector is.

Readers who activate the redirect at Vector (physics) are certain to include many who have no expertise in the subject of vectors. I altered the target of this redirect in order that it meets the guidance at "Make technical articles understandable". I think the same perspective should be taken with Vector (classical mechanics) and Vector physical quantity.

You can argue that the redirects at Free vector, Bound vector, Physical vector and Sliding vector are less likely to be activated by readers who have no expertise in each of these topics. So perhaps you can argue that these redirects don't need to be changed. However, you must anticipate that other Users, and particularly members of the Physics Wikiproject, will judge these redirects using the criteria at "Make technical articles understandable". Dolphin (t) 13:20, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should clarify my previous post by adding that readers who are new to the concept of vectors need, and will be able to comprehend, information of the kind found at Vector space#Arrows in the plane. It is debatable as to exactly which of our articles would serve these readers the best. I think the present content of Vector quantity is too limited, and far too specialised, to be helpful to readers with little or no knowledge of the concept of a vector. For these readers, these redirects should have a target article that is better at making the concept understandable. For example, a diagram or two will be vital. Dolphin (t) 23:10, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dolphin51 Yes, some illustrations are much needed in vector quantity. I don't mind retargeting the redirects while that stub article is not expanded. However, the more mathematical articles, such as Euclidean vector and Vector space, are not a good home for the physics and engineering concept. The reason is equipollence: the mathematical vector cannot represent off-origin directed line segments, such as bound vectors. See, e.g., https://www.av8n.com/physics/vector-intro.htm#sec-bound-vectors fgnievinski (talk) 03:28, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm considering rewriting "A Euclidean vector may possess a definite initial point and terminal point" as "A “vector” may possess a definite initial point and terminal point" and moving it from [[Euclidean vector#Overview|]] to Directed line segment, alternatively to Vector quantity or Vector (mathematics and physics). The reason is the usual one: a Euclidean vector in 3D is made of 3 coordinates, whereas a vector from an arbitrary initial point to a terminal point has 6 coordinates. fgnievinski (talk) 15:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
