Maths

Hi, I see you are interested in maths... does this extend to statistics? I've written two articles that I would appreciate it if someone who didn't fail Maths GCSE would look over: Fleiss' kappa and Inter-rater reliability. Many thanks and don't worry if you don't have the time, - Francis Tyers 06:33, 21 November 2006 (CST)

I'm not a statistician by far, nor really well versed in it. But I'll take a look at them if nothing else just as a copyeditor. Simen Rustad 14:59, 21 November 2006 (CST)

Viper articles

Hi Simen,

Please don't delete those Viper articles--they're a special case. --Larry Sanger 15:21, 17 February 2007 (CST)

Ok. Templates removed (as far as I'm aware)Simen Rustad 15:24, 17 February 2007 (CST)

Hi Simen. How come you marked so many of my articles for deletion? And how come they're a "special case"? I hope there's nothing too controversial about them. --Jaap Winius 17:44, 17 February 2007 (CST)

Re viper articles: I'm not really sure why they're a special case. The reason I originally tagged them was that they appeared to be a straight copy from Wikipedia (ref history and no cleanup) which work hadn't started on.Simen Rustad 02:59, 18 February 2007 (CST)

Probably because they're all originally from WP -- even though I wrote them all myself, copied them here and then modified them somewhat. I decided to move them here because I was getting tired removing nonsense and vandalism from them every day over at WP. Together they add up to almost exactly 100 articles (Category:True vipers). There's also about 40 articles with short descriptions of snake scales (Category:Snake scales). All of these (100 + 40) have many more redirects. For the viper articles, I've even categorized the redirects -- something I've not done nor seen anywhere else. Now all I need is for for someone to come along and correct/modify/approve what I've produced. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it's all so specific, I'm not holding my breath. --Jaap Winius 06:24, 18 February 2007 (CST)

Jaap, the reason it's a special case is that few if any changes seem to have been made from the Wikipedia versions. For those articles, it looks like we're just mirroring the Wikipedia content. Therefore I have a special request: what can you add to the CZ articles that makes them significantly more valuable than the WP versions? Then there would be no question at all. --Larry Sanger 10:30, 20 February 2007 (CST)
