Hello PavelSolin. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Hermes Project, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Hi. When you recently edited NCLab, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page STEM (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Notability of online Karel in NCLab

Pavel, thank you for your contribution to the Karel article. I assume that you had some involvement in developing the NCLab variant of Karel, and if so, thank you especially for making that available to users over the web to help teach programming. I am actually beginning to teach one of my children programming, starting with Karel, so I understand how important and useful tools such as this can be.

That said, I think that the entire section devoted to NCLab is too much material. All of the other variants have a sentence or two, and certainly no explanation of the syntax. If NCLab is notable (and I don't pretend to answer that question right now either way) then it could have its own article, linked from this one. But the level of detail given to a variant of a teaching-programming-language, is not appropriate for this article. I am going to substantially trim down that section, and I invite you to discuss this on the article's talk page. Dead Horsey (talk) 03:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

File permission problem with File:Karel2.png

Thanks for uploading File:Karel2.png, which you've sourced to (non-commercial). I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

July 2012

Hello, PavelSolin. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article NCLab, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Jojalozzo 22:40, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Jojalozzo, thank you for your message and for improving the quality of the page. I am doing my best to comply with Wikipedia standards, if you see that I need to improve in any aspect, please let me know. PavelSolin (talk) 08:29, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

It's great that your working with us. NCLab is a very exciting project. Please take care not to promote the project or yourself in any way. If you have doubts please ask on the article talk page. Thanks for helping! Jojalozzo 13:31, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Here's some info about why we avoid bare URLs. Jojalozzo 15:23, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, I will revise the page. In any case I am very open to guidance, your experience is probably much greater than mine. Do not hesitate to point out concrete things. Best regards,PavelSolin (talk) 15:39, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

PLaSM

I only tagged the page for lacking a category, which you dealt with already; the "how-to" tag was from somebody else. That said, I can still offer a bit of advice on how to resolve it: it certainly makes sense to provide a coding example, and we have lots of other articles that do so, but directly addressing the reader in the first or second person is generally inappropriate in an encyclopedia article. So the writing tone of the section should be revised a bit so that it reads more like an example and less like a lesson — in particular, it would be better to just describe the code sections than to present it as something that "we/us/the reader" are actively doing. Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 16:31, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Ah, this definitely helped, thank you! PavelSolin (talk) 16:34, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

October 2012

Hello, I'm JohnBlackburne. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Spline interpolation, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 01:55, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Runge–Kutta methods. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 01:58, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not either add a link to the WP page for the site to the external links section. The external links section is for links to other sites only, not for internal links. Internal links can be added to the See also section, but only to directly related topics not mentioned elsewhere. NCLab is not a related topic to any of the mathematics articles you are adding it to. Please stop doing so.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 02:23, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of NCLab

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on NCLab, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. D.Lazard (talk) 19:25, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of NCLab: Asking advice

James, you are probably right, I should stay away from writing about NCLab. I am giving all my energy to the project and I may be failing to write impartially. But there are many users who would love to have NCLab page on Wikipedia. Would you recommend that someone else starts from scratch, or would you be willing to return the page for a limited trial time and see if people can remove its promotional character. Thanks to NCLab, high schools can access a free CAD system in the web browser and other things that make the kids excited about STEM. I realize that even this text here may sound promotional but I would very much appreciate you understanding and help. If the page can be reinstated, I will not edit it in the future. Sincerely PavelSolin (talk) 18:20, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
