Redirects

On your user/talk pages on enWS, the redirects don't work because of the parentheses, you have to remove them for it to work. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 12:18, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Nomination of Social_utility_efficiency for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Social_utility_efficiency, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Social utility efficiency until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. 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.

User:Affinepplan, why not spend your time creating content instead of destroying it? 😑 — Omegatron (talk) 15:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

please see WP:Content removal

the deletion of unsourced, inaccurate, POV, or in this case irrelevant content is a productive contribution to Misplaced Pages just as creation is. Affinepplan (talk) 15:54, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

How are concepts from social choice theory not relevant to include in an encyclopedia? — Omegatron (talk) 16:07, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

please read WP:Notability. the only reliable source discussing this metric in detail is a single publication by the progenitor from several decades ago. Affinepplan (talk) 16:13, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

That's obviously not true; there are numerous references in academic literature. What's your motivation for trying to delete this? — Omegatron (talk) 03:52, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

> there are numerous references in academic literature

there are not. Affinepplan (talk) 04:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes there are plenty for notability; I've added a list to the AfD. Why are you trying to delete this? — Omegatron (talk) 00:14, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

please see my response to that list.

> Why are you trying to delete this?

because it fails WP:Notability Affinepplan (talk) 00:24, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
