Orphaned article

The new article titled Nonhomogeneous Gaussian regression currently has no other Wikipedia articles linking to it. If you know of other articles that should link to it, could you add the links? (I changed the "G" from lower case to capital because "Gauss" is a person's name.) Michael Hardy (talk) 03:02, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Directional component analysis

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 Directional component analysis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/11/4/354/htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 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.

Just to correct the record on this: there was no copyright infringement of any sort at any point. Simon Pedley (talk) 11:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Directional component analysis moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Directional component analysis, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Extended cost-loss model, from its old location at User:Simon Pedley/Extended cost-loss model.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Extended cost-loss model (July 18)

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Manages to be at the same time over-cited (8 cites just against the term itself at the start of lead), and under-cited (most of the article unsupported by any referencing). Also, reads like an essay, rather than encyclopaedia entry.

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:Extended cost-loss model and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Draft:Extended cost-loss model. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. SWinxy (talk) 14:43, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for the feedback, that's very helpful. I'm still learning.

The only place I used creative commons licensed text was once in an early draft of the Directional Component Analysis article, as the figure caption, but it's now been removed.

I will probably avoid using any creative commons text in the future, but if I do, I will make sure to follow the process you describe.

All the best, Simon Pedley (talk) 15:37, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then it seems like this is my mistake instead. I never used a particular copyright violation checker before, and it made me believe that a mirror of your article was the original. I am so sorry to have concerned you! Will report to the makers of the tool. SWinxy (talk) 22:38, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that's interesting. Let me know if there's anything I can check. Best regards,Simon Pedley (talk) 08:00, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Extended cost-loss model (May 31)

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

Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I get only two hits for this phrase on Scholar and both are papers by Jewson et. al. Other sources appear to be background (eg. for Cost-loss model) and do not help establish notability.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Extended cost-loss model and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
