A belated apology

I was re-reading our discussion over on Xcode's talk page and I wanted to apologize, because I think I came across rudely. It wasn't my intent at all. I was just trying to be direct and save me typing time and you reading time. I'll try to do better in the future. -- Steven Fisher 16:41, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem, it's forgotten. Good work on the Xcode article. Feel free to edit out what you want from our discussion. --Engelec 21:24, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

MATLAB's SUM

I noticed your comment on MATLAB's SUM command. I think what you describe is accurate. This is an example of MATLAB trying to do what it thinks you want, which can lead to bugs. I want to be sure you know that SUM takes a second argument, the dimension you want to operate over, and this fixes the problem. --Matthew Simoneau 16:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. But there are functions where it isn't possible; for instance plot has no dim argument. Function norm has a different, but related problem: it would be useful for computing the norm of each row or column of an array, but norm is defined as the induced norm for matrices.

I've updated the MATLAB article to mention this. Engelec 00:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

SCILAB

Hi. I downloaded Scilab and I'm quite confused. Could you help me out and tell me the proper syntax to solve a simple equation such as "5 + x = 8"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CorrectInfo (talk • contribs) 14:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not an expert in Scilab, but I guess "8 - 5" or "(8 - 5)/1" should work. Scilab performs numerical computation, so it cannot directly manipulate implicit equations, contrary to Maple. Scilab newsgroup might be helpful. Engelec (talk) 08:22, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. I will try Maple. With regards, —Preceding unsigned comment added by CorrectInfo (talk • contribs) 08:30, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Calerga Sarl

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Calerga Sarl requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calltech (talk) 15:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

September 2012

In general, a person or organization added to a list, as on List of PDF software, should have a pre-existing article to establish notability. If you wish to create such an article, please confirm that your subject is notable according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 14:27, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Sorry if I've been too bold. I think the addition complies with WP:NLISTITEM, and the library is worth a mention there, imho, even if an article might be too much as far as I can tell. Engelec (talk) 22:38, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
