Hello, Hongguanglishibahao, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Thank you for your edits to correlation. Many editors of the page are skeptical of the proposition presented in the title of the link you are adding. That is currently under discussion at the Talk:Correlation. I would suggest you join that conversation. Perhaps you could also provide us with the text of that paper?

please discuss your edit

Please stop adding the same text to the Correlation article. Instead, discuss the edit on the talk page. None of the editors of the page have seen any justification from you that this edit is accurate - and everyone is appropriately skeptical because the correlation coefficient is mathematically bounded. Furthermore, because this account is only used for this particular edit, your behavior is highly suggestive of biased promotion, perhaps self-promotion. Thanks.

Hi Debivort
Thanks for continuing deleting the addition, 'However, Guang Wu does show how to deliberately make the correlation coefficient be larger than unity.' However, this remark is fully referenced in international peer-reviewed journal, which as all international peer-reviewed journals, has strong and strict reviewing process.
I really wonder why you do not read the reference before deleting, and the paper can be obtained by emailing postmaster@dreamscitech.com, as you know that the paper is copyrighted, whose contents cannot be put here.
Regards

You are welcome. Wild claims require better citation than average claims. The statement that a correlation coefficient can attain a value greater than one is a stunning claim - unless this simply relies on trivial numerical instability in a sample correlation coefficient. Therefore strong references are needed. Since you are such an advocate for this paper, here are some options for how you might proceed: 1) COPY in the relevant parts of the text to the talk page, properly cited, the text can be quoted. 2) EXPLAIN in the talk page how this supposedly works. 3) UPLOAD a copy of the paper to your own server and provide a link to it. This is allowed under almost all academic journal copyright agreements.
If someone kept adding to the article on integers the statement "But Mr. Smith has shown that 1/3 is also an integer," but then made no effort to explain this - would you not revert the edit? Debivort 02:44, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello Debivort

The problem I meet with this claim is that I cannot edit the references in Wiki, thus I am not directly citing this reference. Can you be good enough to tell me how to attach a reference to the text. Still the reference is put in Wiki, why did you say no citation?

To add a reference please use a ref tag as in this example: "Cows are blue <ref>Smith, A. et al. "Blue Bovines." Journal of Cowology, 1999 </ref>" Debivort 06:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
In response to your statement that "because this account is only used for this particular edit, your behavior is highly suggestive of biased promotion, perhaps self-promotion"
I may tell you that we have only resently full access to Wiki, and I will write one or more topics after discussion with r>1

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 04:20, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
