File copyright problem with File:G semantics1946model.png

Thank you for uploading File:G semantics1946model.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 23:02, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

My deletion from General Semantics

Aha! I finally parsed that sentence. It read, you'll recall,

Yet another characterization for general semantics, indifferent to all university standards and limitations, considers general semantics a "discipline."

It is, at best, awkwardly worded. The placement of the phrase "indifferent to all university standards and limitations" gave me fits trying to decipher the sentence. But feel free to put (a hopefully rewritten) sentence to that effect back in. Phiwum (talk) 04:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Your invitation to participate in a Wikimedia-approved survey in online behavior.

Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis[1][2], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.

I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.

Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)

To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=41493446 (HTTPS).

Best Regards, Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 09:08, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.

Odd edit

Can you explain why you did this? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Toback&diff=1127858088&oldid=1127096109 I've never encountered an edit like it. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:11, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

The default algorithms that were active in Wikipedia software were prompting related articles either marginally or not at all related to Toback. Canhelp (talk) 16:54, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I'm not familiar with this method or with best practices. Can you maybe point me to some documentation for how to do this and how to do it well? I'll reinsert this if the algorithms are still the same (are they?), as it looks like you've got a good reason for including it and I just didn't understand. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:02, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I just glanced at what currently displays as James Toback "related articles." I believe this is the same display or at least is a closely similar display to what I updated with my manual change. I believe the documentation I used to make the change is the documentation viewable at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RelatedArticles#Usage Canhelp (talk) 17:42, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Neat. Thanks for educating me. Seems like we should have some local documentation on how to use it (where to place it in a page, maximum amounts, etc.) ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:50, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
