This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Ilinx, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://ihobo.com/2007/07/30/the-joy-of-ilinx/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 16:38, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, the fair use rule depend on how much of the original was quoted, and the purpose to which it is put. As a rule, properly attributed quotations that are only a small fraction of the original work are allowable, especially if it is used for analysis, critique or other academic purposes (which an encyclopedia certainly is). — Coren (talk) 19:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Explanans, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Explanandum. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

Thanks[edit]

Hello, Cshirky. Just a note from a reader. Thank you for editing Wikipedia with a real name. Yesterday was happy Clay Shirky day on my user page. For real. Good luck to you. —SusanLesch (talk) 08:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


February 2017[edit]

hey buddy cool it. don't get personal or condescending. what does the fact that I deleted something have any place?

It's relevant because you are insisting that Barnett has published some relevant work not currently included on article about him, but you are not pointing to it, and the only published work you have ever pointed to is already included on the page. cshirky (talk) 09:45, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is why I deleted it. Who would've seen that coming?

But you did not post any other link, yet insist there is additional published work to be listed. If it exists, where is it? And if the arxiv link is the only relevant piece, what else is there to add? cshirky (talk) 09:48, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

would you like me to post a link for you? I was able to find what David Epptein was talking about, are you not? I am not going to post it for you. If I can use a search engine I'm sure you can.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:197:4400:C1A0:B1:70F0:135D:4144 (talk) 09:52, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have no stake in the link one way or the other. I am on that page to watch out for lousy epistemology. If you don't post a link, we'll assume it doesn't exist, and nothing will get added. cshirky (talk) 10:15, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that was the mod's job. David Eppstein has acknowledged it exits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:197:4400:C1A0:B1:70F0:135D:4144 (talk) 10:23, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So will he add it to the article? cshirky (talk) 10:59, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 10[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Christian Volckman, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The Kid and The Room. 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.

An article you recently created, Council on Integrity in Results Reporting, 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.

Information icon Hello, Cshirky. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Council on Integrity in Results Reporting, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 16:02, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Cshirky. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Council on Integrity in Results Reporting".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 16:40, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
