File copyright problem with File:G semantics1946model.png

Thank you for uploading File:G semantics1946model.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

My deletion from General Semantics

Aha! I finally parsed that sentence. It read, you'll recall,

Yet another characterization for general semantics, indifferent to all university standards and limitations, considers general semantics a "discipline."

It is, at best, awkwardly worded. The placement of the phrase "indifferent to all university standards and limitations" gave me fits trying to decipher the sentence. But feel free to put (a hopefully rewritten) sentence to that effect back in. Phiwum (talk) 04:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your invitation to participate in a Wikimedia-approved survey in online behavior.

Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis [1][2], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.

I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.

Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)

To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=41493446 (HTTPS).

Best Regards, Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 09:08, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Outsider (2005 film) (June 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Legacypac was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of films, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:The Outsider (2005 film) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:The Outsider (2005 film), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Odd edit

Can you explain why you did this? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Toback&diff=1127858088&oldid=1127096109 I've never encountered an edit like it. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:11, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The default algorithms that were active in Wikipedia software were prompting related articles either marginally or not at all related to Toback. Canhelp (talk) 16:54, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm not familiar with this method or with best practices. Can you maybe point me to some documentation for how to do this and how to do it well? I'll reinsert this if the algorithms are still the same (are they?), as it looks like you've got a good reason for including it and I just didn't understand. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:02, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I just glanced at what currently displays as James Toback "related articles." I believe this is the same display or at least is a closely similar display to what I updated with my manual change. I believe the documentation I used to make the change is the documentation viewable at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RelatedArticles#Usage Canhelp (talk) 17:42, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neat. Thanks for educating me. Seems like we should have some local documentation on how to use it (where to place it in a page, maximum amounts, etc.) ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:50, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
