K_\alpha in characteristic function for inverse gamma distribution[edit]

Hi! You rightly pointed out that in the formula for the characteristic function of this distribution K_\alpha is used without mentioning what it is. Can you name it, please? Give a link? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.72.39.82 (talk) 22:41, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for correcting the White Buses article[edit]

Hi, thanks for correcting my English, I am not that fluent and it's nice that you had the time to correct various errors I made. I do however question the changes you made to dates and nubers. When it comes to dates, the style guide for Wikipedia says as follows:

"If the topic itself concerns a specific country, editors may choose to use the date format used in that country. This is useful even if the dates are linked, because new users and users without a Wikipedia account do not have any date preferences set, and so they see whatever format was typed. For topics concerning Ireland, all member states of the Commonwealth of Nations except Canada, and most international organizations such as the United Nations, the formatting is usually 17 February 1958 (no comma and no "th"). In the United States, the Philippines, Federated States of Micronesia and Palau, it is most commonly February 17, 1958. Elsewhere, either format is acceptable. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English for more guidance."

styleguide for dates

So according to that 9 April should be equal to April 9 if one try to write "UK English".

Regarding numbers I noticed you removed the separators, the guide says that "very large numbers can be divided up bu commas" [1] - the numbers in the article are not very large but as far as I can see around other articles here it's rather common to use the separator.

I will try to translate the rest of the article from Norwegian this weekend and I hope you can continue to correct my errors. Ulflarsen 17:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tomas Gustafson[edit]

Hi, seeing you introduced a statement about the '83 championships in the article, could you take a look at my question on its talkpage? Cheers, Niels|en talk-nl talk (faster response)| 20:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Education in North Korea[edit]

You're right, I can't find any evidence that there is plagiarism in North Korea, although it wouldn't surprise me at all considering that it's surrounding neighbors have an identified problem with plagiarism. It is probably because the country is so closed that we don't hear of the plagiarism outside of it. Their communist so they have extremely tight control of the media. Anyway, I'm going to make sure the article is fixed. Scifiintel 13:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of IRead[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on IRead, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because IRead is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting IRead, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

AfD nomination of List of Norwegians[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of Norwegians. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Norwegians. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
