set notation

Although I agree with your edit comment on notation for sets, at standard deviation, the things for which the notation was being used are not sets. They are multisets, since members can appear more than once and the mutliplicity matters, or, in some cases, they are tuples, since members are identified with indices. The fact that the word dataset, or data set, is used, does not mean it must be taken literally. Tuples are normally written with round parentheses. Michael Hardy 19:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think they're tuples, as order matters in tuples and not data sets. I think "multiset" would indeed be the proper name to call them, as you said, and those are denoted using curly brackets as well.

OK, so when x_i is the height in centimeters of the husband in the ith couple, and y_i is the wife's height, then you cannot freely alter the order in (x₁, ..., x_n) and still have the same data set. At least to that extent, order matters. Data are often written in just this way, with subscripts. Michael Hardy 16:57, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Period at the end of formula

Hi Poochy. I put back the periods at gradient, as per the math style manual, any formula that is at the end of sentence must have a period at the end. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 05:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:BakusouKyoudaiLets&Go.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BakusouKyoudaiLets&Go.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Moving pages

Hi Poochy, I noticed that you recently moved the Child's play movie to a new page. In the future please be sure to check any media on the page to ensure that any fair use media has their fair use rationales updated. If these aren't linked to the page, someone is likely to come along and just remove them from the article and then delete them. I went ahead and updated this one for you [1].--Crossmr (talk) 08:40, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:BakusouKyoudaiLets&Go.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:BakusouKyoudaiLets&Go.jpg. 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:31, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
