October 2013

Hello, I'm EuroCarGT. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Talk:Hypersynchronization of electrophysiological activity in epilepsy, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ///EuroCarGT 00:17, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Hypersynchronization of electrophysiological activity in epilepsy

The article Hypersynchronization of electrophysiological activity in epilepsy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This page really is redundant with epileptic seizure, and is an essay based on a single group of not particularly notable primary sources. There is nothing here that would be worth merging.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

The template that I put at the top of the talk page, and that you then reverted, serves the purpose of preventing some other editor from coming along and starting the proposed deletion process again, because proposed deletion can only be proposed once for any single article. Your having reverted me only means that if someone comes along and adds the proposed deletion tag to the page again, you will have to manually remove it, so you aren't really helping yourself by having done that. In any case, you can expect that sometime in the not-too-distant future, the page will be brought, instead, to WP:AfD. In that process, there is a detailed discussion, but you may not remove the corresponding tag from the page. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:44, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear Tryptofish: Thank you for your comments and advice. We made our best effort to address your comments. For your convenience, we copied our detailed response (from the article talk page) below:

The article has been renamed (Hypersynchronization of electrophysiological activity in epilepsy: Mathematical modeling and quantitative metrics) to clarify its main subject and to clarify its difference from other articles about epilepsy. Please note that:

1. This article is different from other pages about epileptic seizures, which provide general and/or medical information about epilepsy. In contrast, the present article is the only page that describes main principles of mathematical modeling and quantitative analysis of hypersynchronization. There is no overlap between this article and other articles about epilepsy, because none of the other articles describes this new area of mathematical neuroscience. This area is important, because it provides theoretical background and quantitative metrics for predicting the speed/area(s) of the brain that are affected by seizure activity. Therefore, it can be useful for an understanding of the electroencephalographic (EEG) features of seizure activity, particularly, in subjects with chronically implanted EEG electrodes, predicting its spread, as well as for guiding intracranial procedures/surgeries.

2. This article is based on peer-reviewed publications, which have been cited in the scientific literature hundreds of times. Furthermore, this Wikipedia article has been reviewed and enthusiastically supported by several world renowned experts in mathematical neuroscience/epilepsy.

3. To avoid ambiguity, the tag "WikiProject Medicine|class=start|importance=low" has been removed, because the subject of this article does not appear to be within the scope of WikiProject Medicine. Although the subject and content of this article may appear too technical for a general audience without a mathematical/physical background, its content is easily understandable for anyone with a basic knowledge of sophomore level differential equations.

4. Since publication on Wikipedia four months ago, this article has generated strong interest and received hundreds of "hits" from researchers, engineers, physicists and mathematicians working in the fields of neuroscience and epilepsy around the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dalli 2013 (talk • contribs)

• Hi, what do you mean by "we"? WP accounts are supposed to be individual, shared accounts are against our licence. As for the peer reviewed articles that you used, the number of times the article has been viewed, and the "world-renowned experts" that have "enthusiastically supported" this, please note that WP is an encyclopedia, not a scientific journal. You would do good to listen to the advice that Tryptofish can give you and, in addition, to read some of the most important WP policies (on sourcing and notability, for example) that are linked in the "welcome template" at the top of this page. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 17:31, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
