Proposed deletion of International conference on Computer Simulation of Radiation Effects in Solids The article International conference on Computer Simulation of Radiation Effects in Solids has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: This conference does not seem to be a notable event (WP:N). While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 19:04, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply] Response In response to the removal request fpr the COSIRES page (Jun 23, 2012): There are many other wiki pages for international conferences in physics. But indeed the general background in the first version of the page was not very accessible to the general public, so completely rewrote it now. Also added more references and many more wiki links, Knordlun (talk) 08:50, 24 July 2012 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of International conference on Computer Simulation of Radiation Effects in Solids If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article. You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles. A tag has been placed on International conference on Computer Simulation of Radiation Effects in Solids requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, you need to send a consent letter to confirm that wikipedia has permission, see WP:CONSENT. Articles on wikipedia are also expected to be notable, please see WP:GNG for the general requirements. IRWolfie- (talk) 16:34, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for taking the time to contribute.

I'm a bot designed by another Wikipedia editor, and I'm here to help you with our deletion process. I noticed that while working on an article recently, you removed a speedy deletion template that tagged it for deletion. Don't get discouraged! Deletion discussions happen on Wikipedia all the time.

If you don't want the article to get deleted, please .

The link will take you to the talk page, where you can explain why the article should be kept. If you have any questions about this or need help with editing, you can ask at the Help desk.

We really hope you'll stick around to help make Wikipedia better! Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 16:12, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've proposed merging stopping power (particle radiation) with linear energy transfer. Since you've been an important expert contributor to the stopping power article, I would appreciate your views and/or help on this.--Yannick (talk) 19:28, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Interatomic potential, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page O(N). 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.

Here are suggested readings: WP:SECONDARY and WP:COI. The gist of these guidelines are:

• Wikipedia prefers citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually). Citing secondary sources is the encyclopedic style.
• Avoid citing yourself or your colleagues. It's called conflict of interest. Many new editors cite themselves mainly. That behavior is inappropriate. K. Nordlund is cited heavily in your edits.

If you have questions, many editors can offer advice. Happy editing.--Smokefoot (talk) 13:07, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments ... I did cite several books and review articles already, but avoiding to cite original articles fully is difficult if one wants to write an up-to-date article, much stuff has not yet made it into books or even review articles. As to citations to myself, I try to be restrictive in fact, but admittedly own articles are just easy to find. In this particular article, I checked now that 6 out of 36 total citations are to my own works, and in most of those I am way down in the author list, so this does certainly not constitute "cite themself mainly". And anyway, anybody knowing this topic can add additional citations freely.

In general, I wish there would be more people writing on basic topics like interatomic potentials, if that would be the case, I wouldn't bother to write anything myself. Knordlun (talk) 18:05, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And besides, at least I cite my own articles openly, not doing it hiding behind pseudonyms, which seems to be pretty common... Knordlun (talk) 18:06, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Molecular dynamics may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on .

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
