Hello. Just pointing out that if you would like something deleted in the future that you created in error, it is best to use the {{db-author}} tag. This way an admin will find it quickly and handle it :) Wizardman 16:17, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thanks a lot, I didn't know this template (and it has no equivalent in the French Wikipedia AFAIK). --A3 nm (talk) 22:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Tour de l'Aude Cycliste Feminin to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:

1. Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
2. Added a place for discussion at the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved. This can easily be accomplished by adding {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the page, which will automatically create a discussion section there.
3. Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 06:35, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the move was incorrectly listed under "other proposals". It has been refiled under "uncontroversial proposals". --a3_nm (talk) 18:21, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You started an article with this:

If we consider lambda-terms as trees,

That is a really bad way to start a Wikipedia article. It fails to tell the lay reader that mathematical logic rather than botany is what the article will be about. Michael Hardy (talk) 03:54, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. I'll try to do better next time. --a3_nm (talk) 14:32, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Since you read integer circuit you may be interested by the totaly new article [[1]]. I Can not even believe that this subject was not treated in wikipedia yet, and that all information were on the special case of boolean circuits. Arthur MILCHIOR (talk) 14:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:49, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi A3, you recently requested original figures for the Edmonds's matching algorithm. I have them in .pptx format. Is it okay with you and if so, how do you I upload them? On my user page? Also, as others pointed out, there were some problems with the presentation of the algorithm and the way blossoms were defined. Since you seem interested in that algorithm, do you think you could fix that? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.160.6 (talk) 16:01, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the quick answer. I'm not sure you can upload them to Wikipedia directly, so you could either upload them on any hosting service and give the link or alternatively email them to me at a3nm AT a3nm DOT net. I'm not familiar with the exact workings of Edmond's algorithm, so it may be some time before I look into this, but hopefully I will, eventually. If you have exact links to what "others pointed out", it would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

	The Technical Barnstar
	Congratulations, A3 nm, you've recently made your 1,000th edit to articles on English Wikipedia! Thank you for wikifying, disambiguating, categorizing, and otherwise improving so many articles! Merci beaucoup pour votre travail :) Maryana (WMF) (talk) 20:54, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your edit to the Binary erasure channel‎ article, I encourage you to create a new article on the deletion channel; there is enough verifiable information out there that a separate article is warranted. The article does not have to be complete, you can mark it as a {{stub}}. Thanks, Nageh (talk) 00:10, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, cool. I wasn't sure about that. Will do. Thanks! --a3_nm (talk) 00:29, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the spelling of your username, check {{DISPLAYTITLE}}. This will allow you to use a lower-case 'a' letter, and maybe permits an underscore for the whitespace. Nageh (talk) 19:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, I didn't know this also worked on the English wikipedia. Thanks a lot! --a3_nm (talk) 19:50, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've reverted your edits to Kruskal–Katona theorem. It is generally a bad practice to make summary changes from math html to latex or vice-versa. Cheers, Arcfrk (talk) 20:34, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't do this just because I felt like changing them, but because it does not lead to the same rendering in the article. The spacing that you obtain when using math html is very ugly. Hence, I restored the latex version. If it is not good practice to change from html math to latex when it improves the rendering, could you point me to the relevant policy page? Thanks! --a3_nm (talk) 21:36, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I left a question at Wikipedia talk:WPM. Hopefully, we'll find out soon. Arcfrk (talk) 00:07, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I spotted your recent edit to Janrain regarding this. The email really counts as original research, because it's not a published source. However, I found a reliable source, so have replaced the citation with this TNW piece. I hope that makes sense. Incidentally, I also found a French source at commentcamarche, if ever you feel like updating fr:OpenID. A+ -- Trevj (talk) 07:48, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This is perfectly sensible, thanks for doing this, I just hadn't found an acceptable source for the statement when I added it. I also updated fr:OpenID. Thanks again. --A3 nm (talk) 08:49, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article Population protocol has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No assertion of importance whatsoever.

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.

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.

Open access is an agreement between a publisher and a source's author concerning copyright, fees, licencing, etc. Wikipedia has no business inserting itself into that agreement; Wikipedia editors have no business interpreting such agreements that they are not party to. Open access, as I generally understand it, may mean free-to-read but may also mean free-to-reuse. cs1|2 does not care about reuse, licencing, or fees. It is the duty of cs1|2 citations to assist editors in citing sources so that they may WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT. The green-signal-icon has only one meaning: the source attached to the signal icon is free-to-read; it says nothing about the other aspects of open access.

We should not conflate free-to-read with open access. I think that your edits to Template:Citation_Style_documentation#Subscription_or_registration_required do describe a relationship that does not and should not exist.

—Trappist the monk (talk) 16:42, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Trappist the monk: Hi, thanks for your feedback. The reason why I'm adding "open access" here is because, when trying to find that parameter to point to an open-access article, I searched for "open access" in the documentation and didn't find the parameter. Only later did someone else point me to the parameter. I think I probably won't be the only one to look for this: "open access" is a popular terminology in academia to refer to free-to-read articles which are a common use case of the citation template.

I don't understand why you think this is confusing, because I think we both agree that, if an article is open-access, then it is free-to-read, so the green-signal-icon should be used. I agree that there are lots of possible meanings to "open access", but all of them are free-to-read. I'm not trying to imply anything else about the relationship between open access and the icon. I'm just saying that the name "open access" should appear close to the icon because it is a common use case for the icon, and one that people will look for.

Of course, feel free to rephrase what I added if you think that it is still confusing in some way. Best, --a3nm (talk) 16:50, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Yago-ontology-logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — kashmīrī ^TALK 17:12, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello A3nm,

I've come across a weird sentence in the graph minor article you have edited: [2]. It is "In cases where H is not fixed, faster algorithms are known in the case where G is a minor".

Am I correct in assuming the last word is not "minor" but "planar"? Thanks. SyP (talk) 17:27, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Syp, thanks a lot for pointing this out. You are correct, and I have just made the change. --a3nm (talk) 10:14, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for generalizing the algorithm to NFA. The text "This description follows Hopcroft and Ullman (1979)" should now be adapted accordingly; so could you give a reference for the NFA-version? Moreover, shouldn't ε be included in gthe regular expression R⁻¹

Hi Jochen Burghardt, many thanks for checking my edit and sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. I have adapted the discussion of Hopcroft and Ullman, and mentioned that a reference for the NFA-version is the Gross and Yellen (2004) book that was already cited. About ε, you are perfectly right that the previous version was wrong about this, sorry, I have fixed it. Thanks again! --a3nm (talk) 13:18, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
