AfD nomination of Talk:Keratosis pharyngis

I have nominated Talk:Keratosis pharyngis, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Talk:Keratosis pharyngis. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Neuro√Logic 18:44, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I am fine with deletion. All I said in the talk page was that the article seemed wrong. and now that it is offered for deletion - I am glad :) Talgalili (talk) 14:13, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Barak Marshall

A tag has been placed on Barak Marshall requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ttonyb (talk) 08:02, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Effect size

You have edited in the article on effect size reverting a change by another user. I wrote the original formula based on the Hartung book. I do not have access to this at the moment but I believe there is something wrong with the Wikipedia article now and it does not correspond to the formula given in the book. I have earlier written on the effect size discussion page. — fnielsen (talk) 09:27, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

R software page

You edited the R (programming_language) page and removed a link to a web interface that I added because it was a "not-notable-enough website". To help me understand the rationale, could you tell me why you did not apply the same principle to the other items on the same list, specifically, the link to R AnalyticFlow, Red-R, RKWard and RStudio? In case it was due to language that was not neutral, I've added the link again using the same neutral language as described the other items on the same list. It seems that all these options are equally valid and potentially useful to the public - and should have the same principle applied to all items. Thanks.

Hello dear Tal,

I just finished correcting some mistakes on the "Shape" section of the Beta Distribution, as well as adding some new material, when I noticed your kind message.

This is to let you know how much I appreciate your note!. It is rare to receive notes of appreciation. Particularly receiving such a note from a statistician like you is very much appreciated and it makes me feel that my effort was not in vain!

Kind regards,

False coverage rate

Hey Talgalili, I'm posting this message on your talk page because I noticed that you've recently created the new article False coverage rate--The citations and references seem to abide to Wikipedia's referencing guidelines.However, I noticed there are some holes that may need filling: the article does not contain Wikilinks, and so doesn't follow [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style {linking}|Wikipedia style guidelines]]. It would be great if you could also add references to the related article Closed testing procedure.

And have a beautiful day! Cheers, Amy Z (talk) 02:07, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello dear Amy.

The article, as it is, already contains wikilinks (in its first part, and in the "see also" section). I agree that there is room to add more wikilinks throughout it (and also turn the math into LaTeX, and many other tasks).

You are welcome to do so (either with the closed testing article, or with other ones), you do not need my approval :)

As to myself, I try to improve articles when I use them. The next time I will need the FCR article, I will work on improving it more.

With regards,

Tal Galili (talk) 08:34, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Talgalili,

Thank you for getting back to me. I'm sorry for not responding earlier, I will go ahead and make a few tweaks to the article.

I am a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University examining how to make interaction in Wikipedia more effective. Our research has shown that certain types of feedback encourage Wikipedians to edit more while others seem to discourage them. Experienced and less experienced Wikipedians seem to have different reactions to very similar feedback. I am interested in interviewing you about your reaction to the message I sent you. A discussion with you will help us better understand the types of feedback that can encourage newcomers's participation to Wikipedia without turning off old-timers.

I can talk with you via online chat, on Skype, over the phone, or just through Wikipedia messages if you are more comfortable with that. The interview should only take about 30 minutes. You do need to be over 18 years old, and consent to be a part of the study in order to for me to interview you. This study has been approved by Carnegie Mellon's research ethics committee (the IRB), and the Wikipedia Research Committee.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. We will be glad to send you a draft describing our research results right after the interview.

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:55, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Quantile

Thank you for your edits to the Quantile article. Unfortunately, I find the text and the first reference hard to understand (despite that Quantiles are a topic I know well), and the more comprehensive, second reference is behind a pay wall. In short, if you could clarify the new material soon, it would be much appreciated! 𝕃eegrc (talk) 16:45, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Leegrc, thank you for the comment. Do you have references regarding the biassness of quantile estimators? Tal Galili (talk) 16:54, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

It is not so much the references I am worried about, though we should strive for a good job there too. My worry is that the current text of the new section is opaque to me and thus I worry that someone who is less of an expert than I has less of a chance to understand what is presented. If I could get at the reference you provide, I'd read it and try to help edit the article. I strongly suspect that you have important information for the article, and anything you can do to address my concerns would be much appreciated. 𝕃eegrc (talk) 01:18, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

For example, would you define ECDF for the reader? Would you give a one sentence non-jargon description of what bias is in the context of quantile estimation and, perhaps, describe why we should care about it? If not an actual proof, can you give a feel for why the bias might be proportional to the standard deviation of the unknown distribution? Can you give a feel for why bias might be smaller in the central quantiles? Could you use N rather than n, to be consistent with the rest of the article? Unfortunately these sentences, which "come from a summary of a person on crossvalidated", aren't particularly encyclopedic. Perhaps worse, if the copying is close to verbatim, there could be copyright issues. You may be on to something important here, but if left as is, it might better serve wikipedia by being deleted. 𝕃eegrc (talk) 12:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi 𝕃eegrc,

The text in crossvalidated is CC-BY, so there is no problem using it (and I gave a link back)

I will not get to extending the text in the way you propose in the near future, so I deleted it from the article.

I believe the biasness of the quantile estimators should be discussed, and hope you or someone else would find the time to add it.

With regards, Tal Galili (talk) 12:32, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

p.s.: it seems I am not the only one who noticed that hint (that Medivh might be Garona's father). See [1] and [2]. I agree it is a speculation since the movie does not explicitly say it, but it might be worth adding to the text (but I won't argue over it, since it is not crucial to me).

References

Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:12, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi User:Doc James. If the sentence was about claiming that A leads to B then obviously it should have been based on reliable secondary analysis. However, the sentence that I edited said there were a few studies that found a connection between A and B, while no other extensive research had been conducted to detect a relation. Hence, I did not cite the sources as a way to claim that A leads to B, but as an example of the statement made by the sentence. I think the content should return, as it gives evidence to the statement made in the article. Thanks for the consideration. Tal Galili (talk) 13:23, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

We should stick with high quality secondary sources. This is one of the ways we determine appropriate weight that should be given to content. If something is not covered in a high quality secondary source we should likely not mention it either. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:30, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Likelihood-ratio test into Wilks' theorem. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:48, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Talgalili, I wanted to come on here to say that I appreciate your comments on the Wiki Hamas Talk page and to apologize if I came across too intensely! Logically, I do think that Hamas would probably be best characterized as a terrorist organization. However, Wikipedia has guidelines, and terrorist is a contentious label on Wiki so it is difficult to label it as so on articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Contentious_labels. In terms of using the word "massacre", you are correct, what happened were massacres. I actually tried to push for using the word massacre on the 2023 Israel-Hamas war Wiki page lead, but ultimately the consesus was to use the word killings. Ultimately, I disagreed the use of the word massacre on the Hamas page, mostly because of Wiki page consistency and use across pages. Anyway, wanted to send appreciation for your comments and how they get other editors to critically think more. =) Wh15tL3D09N (talk) 01:51, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate you took the time to write here.

I generally am fine not calling Hamas a terrorist organisation, but just mention they've been described as such by x, y, z countries.

However, as I wrote in the talk page just now, I also believe that means extra emphasis should be made to properly describe actions they've done that are not aligned with the neautral meaning of words like militant. E.g.: Re'im music festival massacre

With appreciation, me. Tal Galili (talk) 02:54, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Citation template

Hello - I noticed in your edit on omega-3 you did not put the reference details within a citation template.

Here is the Wikimedia template where I recommend checking the boxes for adding the ref tags, using full journal title, and providing the URL.

The Lancet review you mentioned on the talk page could be included under the cardiovascular subhead. You can use the above template to correctly cite it! Zefr (talk) 19:25, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Zefr,

Feel free to adjust my edits - and I'll learn for next time. Tal Galili (talk) 12:46, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
