Adding Template:WPStatistics

This is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Statistics, specifically under Administrative tasks: Add the {{WPStatistics}} banner to the talk page of articles in List of statistics articles. I am not sure what to do about the 'class' and 'importance' indicators. Copy them from another banner? Leave them blank?AppliedStatistics (talk) 07:19, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I see that you're tagging article for the Statistics WikiProject, which is great! Thanks for taking the time! Unfortunately, the majority of the articles you just added the Statistics banner to already had that banner on their talk pages. Please check to see if the articles are already tagged before retagging them, since these duplicate banners are just creating unnecessary work. The "class" parameter is an assessment of the article's quality; there's a good general discussion on the Math project page. The "importance" parameter is then an assessment of the topic's importance to an understanding of "Statistics" as a whole. If you don't feel comfortable making these judgments, then feel free to leave them blank, and the articles will be added to a list where someone else will find them and assess them. Thanks for helping out with the project, and welcome to Wikipedia! -Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 14:11, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for going to the effort of tagging the Correlation function (statistical mechanics) page with the WP statistics tag. I think you might have meant to tag the general Correlation function page instead. As such, I removed the WPStatistics tag. Please let me know if you think this was an error.

The page was on a list of pages to tag so they become connected to the Statistics project. This list included a lot of pages where statistics was only of secondary concern, but still of concern.AppliedStatistics (talk) 09:18, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This request to add the template was here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Statistics under Administrative tasks: "Add the WPStatistics banner to the talk page of articles in List of statistics articles"AppliedStatistics (talk) 09:25, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for following up! I'll put the tag back if it hasn't already been put back. Mgibby5 (talk) 19:41, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Picture of Steven N Goodman.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Picture of Steven N Goodman.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 03:37, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Picture of Steven N Goodman.jpg

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on File:Picture of Steven N Goodman.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://med.stanford.edu/profiles/steven-goodman. 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 or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 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 removed 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. reddogsix (talk) 03:51, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Steven N. Goodman, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages MD and MHS. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
