December 2022

Hello, I'm LilianaUwU. I noticed that in this edit to Elon Musk, 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. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contribs)} 02:48, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

The information you removed from the lead section is a summary of information that is fully sourced in the body of the article. See WP:LEAD. General Ization ^Talk 02:49, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I missed that.

When I took a look at the section on COVID-19 in the body of the article, I kinda got the feeling it needs some revision to meet WP:NPOV. But that talk page looks like such a shitshow that I just absolutely do not want to get involved. Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 03:10, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Mathematics of apportionment into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 02:27, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Graduated majority judgment + Usual Judgement merge edit

Hey there, I noticed you completely overhauled the page I knew as Usual Judgement. I was looking at the edit history but see nothing but a big initial edit in January, so I assume you merged in the Usual Judgement page which unfortunately removed it's edit history. I am a bit confused about two sections there: first I don't see how the in the overview presented counting method (paragraph 2) is the same as in the rest of the article. Second I find the line-drawing approach insufficiently explained as to be an understandable and precise procedure. I would strongly encourage you to edit these sections again so that I can verify and proof that they correspond The tie breaking mechanism of usual judgement. I find what you wrote interesting because it suggests that decentralised paper vote counting may be efficient of UJ, which I did not realise yet. However I cannot quite link the Wikipedia page in the current state to people I want to read about UJ which I find very unfortunate Sirati97 (talk) 17:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

You can find the history here. (Sorry about the copy-and-paste, I didn't know about moving pages back then!)

As far as precinct-summability goes, yes, you can tally up grades for candidates in each category. The complexity is O(G*K) for G grades and K candidates. (It's worse than score voting's O(K), but only by a constant factor.) This is a common property of any method that doesn't rely on comparing candidates (only comparing candidate scores).

I've made some edits to try and improve the description. Further improvements are welcome! Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 17:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Descending solid coalitions

Hello, Closed Limelike Curves

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

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Descending solid coalitions, 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|Викидим}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Draft:Center squeeze. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:06, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Descending solid coalitions

Hello Closed Limelike Curves, 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, Descending solid coalitions, 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/Descending solid coalitions.

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|Викидим}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Plurality voting

Hi, I noticed you made this split proposal on Plurality voting, but I do not see a split discussion on the talk page. I only see merger discussions. Did you mean to apply this template? --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 23:04, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Under the merger discussions, I think the consensus is leaning towards having two separate articles for Plurality (voting) and FPP. –Sincerely, A Lime 14:39, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Droop quota

I don't understand your given reasons for your revert of earlier today.

Droop's exact words are nowhere in the ariticle that I can see. Ther is no direct quote showing his words.

if simple majority is required to win in single winner election, as article says is the base of Droop's quota, then why is Droop quota described as votes/(seats plus 1). that would be 100/2 - 50. that is not simple majority.

and in example, if Washington needs 26 votes to be elected, then after the surplus votes are transferred away, he should be left with 26 votes, not 25.

H-B and Droop are both clear in that the quota is more than votes/(seats plus 1). it seems ot me clear from their writing what they intend.

Dancisin's essay "Misinterpretation of the H-B quota" (available online) is clear about this fundamental mistake that many make.

68.150.205.46 (talk) 03:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Washington needs more than 25 votes to be elected, but "more than 25 votes" means any number greater than 25, no matter how small; it does not mean one more than 25. Votes are infinitely divisible in modern STV systems (rather than the random vote reassignment used in the 1800s), so we need to take the limit as the quota approaches 25.

Dancisin is historically correct in that Droop describes his quota by rounding up at some points in his paper. However, this was an error on Droop's part, and he variously contradicts himself. In one part of his paper he defines the quota like this:

and also as "the total number of votes polled [divided by] one more than the number of candidates to be elected".

I recommend reading this paper here on why the 1976 edition drooped the "+1". Including it breaks proportionality, homogeneity, and every other property commonly attributed to STV. The +1 also doesn't affect whether "more candidates are elected than there are seats", because any situation where "one extra candidate is elected" is just a tie for the last seat; this can happen regardless of the choice of quota. –Sincerely, A Lime 04:42, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Mambourg Glass Company

Hello Limelike Curves. I just returned home from a short cruise to Bermuda, and little access to the internet. I see you reviewed Mambourg Glass Company. Thank you very much! TwoScars (talk) 15:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome, and have a good day! :) –Sincerely, A Lime 16:26, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

I would say, I think the article itself is very well-researched and the writing is good, so I awarded it GA status according to the criteria laid out in WP:GA. However, I think a lot of the material on 19th century glassworking would be better-placed in an article like glass production or history of glass. –Sincerely, A Lime 16:39, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

You make a good point. At the time, window glass had been somewhat ignored on Wikipedia—it is boring compared to glassware. I was worried that the reader might have trouble understanding it without some background in window glass making. Since that time, I have upgraded Early glassmaking in the United States, and created 18th century glassmaking in the United States and 19th century glassmaking in the United States. The 19th century article was going to be too big, so I split off 19th Century glassmaking innovations in the United States and 19th century glass categories in the United States. TwoScars (talk) 17:10, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Damn, it sounds like you really like writing about glass. Big mood. –Sincerely, A Lime 18:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

I've been trying to publish my draft but I keep getting a stash error. How do I resolve this? --Xlencie (talk) 20:45, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the kind words :)

I get that bug too sometimes; you can report it on WP:Phab. For a short-term fix, you can just copy-paste the text into a file or document, refresh the page (possibly clearing your cache), and then copy-paste it back in. –Sincerely, A Lime 01:16, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Approval block voting moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Approval block voting, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)
