Speedy deletion of Image:Andrea Saltelli.JPG

A tag has been placed on Image:Andrea Saltelli.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is a redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 [[ Talk:Image:Andrea Saltelli.JPG|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

February 2018

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Environmental applications of sensitivity analysis

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Environmental applications of sensitivity analysis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.ijraset.com/fileserve.php?FID=15258. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Saltean. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 13:35, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for this warning, but I do not have conflict of interest other than I know the people and their work being a practitioner myself of sensitivity analysis. I have reformulated the section pointing to the visual methods. Please let me finish it before you undo it. If you undo this again I am not pursuing this further.

You've been writing about yourself and your work all over the encyclopedia. That is obviously a conflict of interest as we define it here. MrOllie (talk) 16:50, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Dear User talk:MrOllie, Thanks for this assessment of my work in Wikipedia and for your interventions. I am reacting in the Talk section of some of the pages where you worked last September 2023:

• Sensitivity auditing
• Sensitivity analysis
• Sociology of quantification
• Ethics of quantification
• Post-normal science
• Quantitative storytelling

While I understand the need to discipline authors’ enthusiasm for their own subjects and works and to avoid conflicts of interest, I believe that some of your interventions need revision. I am also leaving a comment in your Talk page. All the best. Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 09:54, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:Sensitivity auditing, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Shadow311 (talk) 16:47, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

AFC, AN/I, etc.

Moving this to user talk, since the patience for that thread at WP:AN seems to mostly have run out.

WP:AFC is not done in main-space (article-space), but in draft-space, in this case probably at a page titled Draft:Sampling (computational modeling), which would eventually move to replace Sampling (computational modeling) redirect if the draft's content and sourcing are good. There's no cabal/conspiracy here. You've accused MrOllie of a lot of wrongdoing, but don't really have evidence to back this up. There is no "closing of ranks", you're simply not making a good case. Our civility policy does not require anyone to be saccharine-sweet, show deference, or avoid raising objections or voicing criticisms to keep someone else happy. It's basically about not turning Wikipedia into a battleground or a flamewar. I have not pored over every bit of interaction between the two of you; if there's something you're certain transgresses the actual WP:CIVIL or WP:NPA or WP:HARASS policies, not your personal notions of politeness vs. rudeness, then it could in theory be a matter to raise at WP:AN/I (very concisely). The community does take habitual patterns of incivility, and non-habitual outbursts of extreme incivility, seriously. However, you've poisoned your own well on this matter already. If you did open such an AN/I, your own behavior would be examined and judged, too. Probably the first thing people will notice is your casting of aspersions about MrOllie's mental health with comments like "not all is well with this person". So, WP:BOOMERANG would be very likely to apply; there's a dim view taken of those who are clearly being uncivil in the course of pointing the finger at someone else for allegedly being uncivil. When a dispute thas gotten to the "both sides insulting each other" point, both sides needs to step away.

MrOllie does indeed get a lot of complaints, but they are almost always from IP addresses, very new registered users, citation spammers (which is what he seems to suspect you are, i.e. someone promoting their own publications by citing them as sources), and outright spammers (advertisers linking promotionally to websites), as well as people who do not understand WP:NOT policy and keep adding non-encyclopedic claptrap. A bunch of us do in fact receive about the same level of disputation as he does. E.g., I piss off everyone on the system at one point or another, because I'm one of the shepherds of our WP:Manual of Style, the primary value of which is its long-term stability not exactly which version of what rule it happened to settle on, and I and a few others routinely revert editors making willy-nilly changes to it that suit their personal preferences but which could affect literally millions of articles. Trust me, it's a very thankless role. Everyone thinks some line-item or other in MoS is "wrong" and is angry about it. Anyone regularly doing anti-vandalism, anti-spam, notability patrolling, and other work to clean garbage out of the encyclopedia gets at least as much complaint as MrOllie (or me).

"I am an author and not an editor ... I believe our roles are different" reads like "I'm am a book and journal author, and I have no interest in being a Wikipedia editor beyond promoting my work/views" (i.e. WP:NOTHERE). Likely you mean something else, since you have a long track record on the site, but perceptions matter in such disputes, especially venues like WP:AN.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  15:39, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for these considerations. These will be kept in mind and are part of my learning process. Yes, you are indeed right, I do not wish to become an editor. No, perhaps being here to promote my views in a bit severe. There is maybe a speck of genuinely encyclopedic interest in me. Then we can all change, cannot we? You say of me:

While Saltean has a long history here, the bulk of their editing is within a topical sphere that seems to correlate strongly with their work life (and some of it is questionably encyclopedically constructive, including a lot of writing about rather random-looking academic edited volumes that clearly do not pass WP:GNG, or WP:NBOOK more narrowly, and are tagged as non-notable, so are probably going to WP:AFD at some point.

Well, maybe I am a truly mediocre author. On the other hand my mediocre pages can be improved by other authors, so not all will be lost in the end. This is the way of Wikipedia, isn't it? I review books from well-reputed academic publishing houses and from [what I judge to be] good scholars - maybe they would deserve a better pen than mine.

I will take your input as an encouragement to do better. Thanks! Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 16:32, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Andrea. This is meant to be a gentle word, as I see that you didn't re-post it, but I saw that you previously added a link to a website that apparently contained information about someone's personal life (page history). Please do not do this again, this is not appropriate. Thank you, Sdrqaz (talk) 00:41, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, can you please help me out here? You point to my sandbox here; I understand I did something wrong but still don't get whose website you are referring to. Thanks for your help Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 07:12, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

@Saltean We obviously can't reveal that here, it would be outing again. And please note you are an editor here, everyone who posts anything here is an editor. Of course you are also a well published author as your Wikipedia page makes clear. Doug Weller talk 11:05, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. My email is andrea.saltelli@gmail.com, available everywhere, e.g. at www.andreasaltelli.eu. In case you can spare the time and are so inclined please communicate with me the nature of the error. All the best. Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 14:54, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

This is regarding the citation note here – the one that was removed shouldn't be re-posted on Wikipedia, as it contains personal information about another editor. I hope this helps. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:13, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 02:44, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Kinda forgot about this discussion. A book lacking notabilty doesn't mean it's mediocre, just that it hasn't (yet) attracted in-depth coverage in independent, secondary, reliable sources. A great deal of excellent (and influential, as shown by rate of citation within its field) academic work isn't notable in Wikipedia's sense (summarized at WP:GNG), i.e. isn't something that in and of itself makes for something to have its own stand-alone coverage as a subject here.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  20:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Politics of Uncertainty

Hello, Saltean

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Klbrain, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, The Politics of Uncertainty, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

1. Edit the page
2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Saltean. Thank you for your work on Evidence, Argument, and Persuasion in the Policy Process. Klbrain, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

With 2 reviews in independent sources is does seem to meet WP:NBOOK, although it might be argued that these are routine. Showing evidence of lasting impact of the work would be a helpful way of improving the article.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Deletion discussion about The Politics of Uncertainty

Hello Saltean, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, The Politics of Uncertainty, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Politics of Uncertainty.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|SafariScribe}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

The Measure of Reality

Regarding your request on my talk page, I'm looking into it, but have had other stuff going on, so probably won't finish it until tomorrow. Rather than just go tweak the article myself, I'm treating this as basically like a WP:GAN review, and making a detailed list of suggested improvements. Some of them are very trivial, but others are more in-depth, involving better use of the sources (I'm actually reading them, not just doing a check for typos and the like, since macrohistory is among my topics of interest).  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  09:20, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Great! Thanks a and looking forward to it. Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 15:07, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Done, at: Talk:The Measure of Reality/B-class review. Took quite a while due to both the difficulty of accessing some of the sources, and the complex nature of the underlying material, despite the WP article itself being quite short.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:54, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! This page is now more yours than mine but I enjoyed the exchange. I pause editing for the moment - I could not follow you entirely (though I tried) when fixing the references - I use Zotero's provided template that you clearly don't like ... is there an easy alternative for non-experts? Or could you give this your final touch? Yes I agree on your comment that I have been mostly favorable in my review - I used Crosby's work myself. Hope you and others can help here to rebalance if still needed. Only one correction: when referring to the arrival of Aristotle's texts in the Latin West, Crosby meant the wave taking place after the fist crusades, in the 13th century - I now link the relevant Wikipedia page to make this clear. Thanks for suggesting other sources, I will read them as soon as time allows. All the best and thanks again! Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 12:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

I can patch it up a bit (in the source editor) when you're done. If you're using Zotero or another automated tool, and/or the Visual Editor, they will probably do non-ideal things. I don't know of a scripted ref-formatting alternative to Zotero; I just do them manually. Maybe that makes me a dinosaur! Well, I've actually built (and improved some pre-existing) citation tools for producing consistent formatting: User:SMcCandlish/TidyCitations and User:SMcCandlish/TidyRefs. I usually run them in that order, followed by a date-cleanup script (namely User:SMcCandlish/MOSNUMdates.js; I don't have an instructional User:SMcCandlish/MOSNUMdates page about it, but it installs the same way as the others, and does the same thing: adds options to your left menu when in editing mode). PS: There's no point in re-adding sources, already cited in <ref> tags, as redundant entries to "External links"; the URLs for them just go in the original citations as |url=https://....  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  13:41, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! One step at the time: tried the url thing, worked for Brooks, not for Swetz (I guess because it is a pdf). Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 16:21, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

... and moved Dutton to the body of the text with one quote from his reading of Crosby. Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 16:56, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Solved Swetz. Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 18:09, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi User:SMcCandlish. Just in case you still have time to devote to this: would you care to give a final look? I added several new reviews (though there are even more - apparently this book attracted lot of attention). As can be expected most reviews are in the years immediately after publication. Maybe after your final input we can propose this for WP:GAN, or is this hubris? ;-) Andrea Saltelli Saltean (talk) 10:49, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
