Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

display="block"

See MOS:FORMULA. (Also possibly of interest Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics/Archive/2022/Feb#display_=_block_and_dark_mode and links therein.) --JBL (talk) 19:46, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

@JayBeeEll why should we prefer <math display=block> when the Wikipedia app darkmode does not support it? Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 01:57, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

There is another discussion at Template talk:Math#"Display=Block"_does_not_work_with_Dark_Mode. Basically, the colons are broken html and do not work in accessibility readers. There is a workaround to use {{bi|left=1.6|<math> ... </math>}} that doesn't have the accessibility problem but the general consensus was to use display=block and hope somebody fixes the bug in the app. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 02:49, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

@Mathnerd314159 okay, I will let them use Display=block, then. Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 04:27, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

And I will mention that I'm using Dark Reader on Firefox Mobile. It is not perfect because sometimes it displays transparent images as black-on-black, but it works fine with the display=block formulas. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 19:56, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

@AngusWOOF I am fine with that, except a lot of the research on this topic also comes from Lydia McGrew's book, and it would seem unfair to contribute it all to JJ Blunt Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 21:23, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

and also I don't remember JJ Blunt talking about the critisism of undesigned coincidences in his book Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 21:31, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

And if we create a page for it, both William Paley's and JJ blunts' (and Lydia McGrew's) Wikipedia page references to the concept can link to it Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 21:38, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

If the article is about the book, then the other folks who wrote critiques on the ideas can be mentioned. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 21:44, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

This depends mainly on whether the concept has multiple authors and proponents contributing to it as with intelligent design or whether the concept is mainly from Blunt's book. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 21:48, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

the concept was originated by William Paley, coined by blunts book, and further researched by Lydia Mcgrew's book Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 21:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

It is not as popular as intellegent design, but it still has notibility. For example Yhprum's law, is an idea that has not been expanded on much since its origin Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 21:58, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't think that is bad. Are you okay with that? I just want to share the concept so that it can be easily understood. Is there anything I should change for this article to be published? Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 21:49, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

January 2023

Hello, I'm Teles. I noticed that in this edit to Environmental impact of meat production, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Teles «Talk to me˱_{M @ C S}˲» 19:32, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

I had an edit summary. it said, "Modified the statement to be more accurate, and moved the sources to the linked article in the sentence". I made the change because the original statement implied that beef has only negative health impacts, which is not entirely true when you look at the linked article in the sentence. Why do you think that my edit was wrong? Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 19:37, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

I am going to edit it again to try to make it more of a mix between the two edits. Feel free to revert it again if you believe that it is not justified. Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 19:41, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 12:34, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick I think this copyright claim is a mistake. The website which claims copyright cites a textbook as its source, and I used that textbook to learn that material.

However, there was a lot of valuable material in the article which I added (in addition to the claimed copyright material), and I know it was not copyright. Can you add that information back into the article because I spent a long time phrasing the information so that it was precise and concise? Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 17:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I just checked the history on my computer, and I never opened the link to the website (cs.purdue.edu) that claims that I took their copyright information. Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 18:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I don't question that you may not have looked at the specific side I mentioned. As you note, that website makes reference to a textbook which you used to learn the material. However, the textbook is almost certainly copyrighted and likely by the same individuals. You man spent time phrasing yet so that it was precise and correct but in my opinion it's too close a paraphrase of the original. I recognize when writing mathematical text and striving for correctness is tempting to use close to the original exact wording, but in my opinion this is to closer paraphrase to accept. As one example:

Your text

An attribute of a functional dependency is extraneous if we can remove it without changing the closure of the set of functional dependencies.

Source text

An attribute in a functional dependency is considered extraneous attribute if we can remove it without changing the closure of the set of dependencies S Philbrick(Talk) 18:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick Thank you for giving a precise answer. If I rephrase that sentence, can I republish the information? Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 18:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

That was one example. If you do the rewrite (though that I emailed you the contents of your earlier edits), it may may not trigger a review by CopyPatrol. If it does it will be taken up by whichever editor chooses to take it up, so not in a position to promise that if you rewrite it, everything will be fine. That seems likely but I can't make a guarantee. S Philbrick(Talk) 12:56, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick thank you so much, I will see what I can do Jarfuls of Tweed (talk) 15:24, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
