There is some text on this page that is a duplicate of the PyQuante web site. I am the author of both the web site and this page, so it is alright for the duplication.

I have added a note on the relevant site that reuse of the material is permitted under the GFDL. I have also sent email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org from the address listed on the sourceforge site that I am the owner and that I have listed the material on the web page as reusable under the GFDL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rpmuller (talk • contribs) 01:46, 10 April 2009

Hi. Thanks for following up with this. I did want to let you know that Wikipedia is considering a transition to CC-BY-SA in August of this year. At that time, material that was placed on Wikipedia from many GFDL sites after November 2008 will either need to be relicensed or removed. If you are willing to license this material under CC-BY-SA 3.0, which is similar to GFDL but not cross-compatible, please consider proactively co-licensing it at your website. It will make things much simpler if we do transition. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:44, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. The PyQuante documentation is now co-licensed under GFDL and CC-BY-SA --Rpmuller.

Thanks. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:25, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone following this page let me know when I can remove the stub tags on this page? --Rpmuller —Preceding undated comment added 14:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Well, different people have different views. However, I think the article needs to be longer. We need to see whether the community (OK, a very small subset of the community) are happy with a large block of code dominating the article. I would also like to see the biggest weakness of this article fixed. That is there are no references from outside the team who wrote the code. There is no evidence that anybody else has found it notable. Have people, for example, used it in teaching and perhaps commented in an article in J Chem Ed? It is too early to remove them now. I added them and I will keep an eye on the article. I might even download the code and play around with it. I have been intending to do so for a long time. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, how are we going to know if they're happy with the code if you've deleted it? I'm not trying to be contentious, I just don't know the process. I thought that the code was useful because normally it takes a huge amount of coding to write a working quantum chemistry program; this shows how you can do it using just a few lines of code. --Rpmuller Sat Apr 11 14:30:39 UTC 2009

I did not delete it. Headbomb did. Click on the history tag at the top of the article. I'm very busy today, but will come back to this tomorrow to see of we can find a way to discuss adding back the code. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:39, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The XLinkBot also removed a link I added to a port of PyQuante to mobile phones, which I'm not involved in, but which I thought addressed some of the comments (i.e. adoption by larger community). I'm really trying to make this page fit with the wikipedia guide lines. Now the wikipedia page is complaining that the article reads like an advertisement. I think that the two things that were just deleted (the link to the mobile phone port and the code showing people how they can use pyquante to write their own programs) are two things that make it less of an advertisement, and they've been deleted. Rpmuller (talk) 16:49, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was done by a bot, and the link is a forbidden one, so it is not easy to add it back. Again, I'll think about this tomorrow. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:39, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Five years onward this page still does not cite any secondary sources. It will probably be nominated for deletion if none are added.T R 09:26, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
