Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Mid-Pleistocene Transition, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. GenQuest ^"scribble" 07:47, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Milankovich's theory revisited until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Please don't recreate the article

Jean-Louis Pinault, the article Milankovich's theory revisited has been moved to Milankovich's theory, following discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Milankovich's theory revisited. If you intend to keep working on it, please do so at the new location, and do not recreate the old article. The reason for this move is that we are not going to have an article named like that in mainspace - it runs counter Wikipedia's WP:POVFORK guidelines to have articles on different "perspectives" or revisionist takes on a topic, if that what this is. I will ask an admin to delete the article once more. Again, please do not recreate it, stick to new location.

As to whether this should be a separate article at all (which I think is not the case), I will shortly start a WP:MERGE discussion at Milankovitch cycles, where you are invited to participate. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:16, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Subharmonic modes of the climate system you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 14:25, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gyral Rossby waves

Hello Jean-Louis Pinault,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Gyral Rossby waves for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Text is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence

In Gyral Rossby Waves I included material from a website that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence and I am the author of those articles. So it should be oKay. I give attribution so that your readers are made aware that I copied the prose since it is impossible to reformulate the equations and the associed explanations. I make sure that I follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material. Many thanks!

Gyral Rossby waves moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Gyral Rossby waves, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

New paragraph "Resonantly forced baroclinic Rossby waves in the oceans" in the page "Rossby wave"

I give up the project of creating a new page "Gyral Rossby waves". I am inserting a new paragraph "Resonantly forced baroclinic Rossby waves in the oceans" in the existing page "Rossby waves". Text was copied from the cited source "Pinault, J.-L. Modulated Response of Subtropical Gyres: Positive Feedback Loop, Subharmonic Modes, Resonant Solar and Orbital Forcing. J J. Mar. Sci.

Managing a conflict of interest on Wikipedia

Hello, Jean-Louis Pinault. 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 or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
• 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. —PaleoNeonate – 21:02, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Important message

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in climate change. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Dear reviewer

I have no ulterior motives other than regretting that Wikipedia totally ignores recent work on the resonant forcing of long-period oceanic baroclinic waves. I don’t think it is a fringe theory but, much worse, it is a theory unknown to a large part of the scientific community. Unless it is contradicted by future research, this new approach is promising because it allows explaining most of the pending issues in paleoclimatology. It will probably take time to be largely accepted by the scientific community because of its novelty, which requires audacity. The notion of subharmonic modes indeed deeply changes understanding of the paleoclimate, including climate variations observed during the last two centuries (which doesn’t question anthropogenic warming, quite the contrary). Of course, I am totally disinterested. My approach is purely scientific and would deserve, at least this is my opinion, a little benevolence concerning the substance of this research. Many thanks for your help
