Contributions to robot article edit

Hi Jdietsch. Thanks for your contributions to the robot article. It's so rare that someone adds some real content to the page, rather than vandalising it. I hope you have time to do more in the future. Rocketmagnet 10:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:MobileEyes.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:MobileEyes.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Proposed speedy deletion of Bill Kennedy edit

Speedy deletion nomination of Bill Kennedy (computer scientist) edit

 

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 Bill Kennedy (computer scientist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ~RAM (talk) 06:24, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

January 2021 edit

December 2020 edit

Jdietsch (talk) 03:47, 31 December 2020 (UTC) I would greatly appreciate your addressing the problems, RAM. Here are my suggestions: As for it looking like a resume, removing the few statements would fix it: Remove "Under her leadership, Mobilerobots became... etc." sentence Instead of "Tech Career" replace with "Contributions to tech advancement" Re: the citation on "Who's Succeeding on the Internet and How", it's available from Google books at https://books.google.com/books/about/Who_s_Succeeding_on_the_Internet_and_How.html?id=yEnbAAAAMAAJ&hl=en The publication date shown is 1995; the Internet opened to commerce in Nov, 1994. Or just put that it was published in 1995. For "and wrote a quarterly column for Robotics & Automation magazine[citation needed]. " can you just add :(see publications, below) which includes many of the columns.Reply

I suggest replacing "Government Career" with "Public Service" because it includes work for non-profits as well as government. And that way you could combine the so-called "Positions" into the public service section and add the following:

Before the bills discussed by the opposition contributor in the last paragraph, I suggest inserting Omnibus Municipal Broadband Bill 2020 HB1111 http://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_Status/default.aspx, signed into law, which included my communications district bill SB457, designed to ease expansion of rural broadband.http://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_Status/default.aspx

I also suggest including that I proposed a "Sunny Day Fund" bill, designed to provide matching funds for research. http://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_Status/default.aspx

In case you are not from New Hampshire, I'll share with you that in NH, supporting any income tax is a sin worse than child molestation. Please consider replacing "Dietsch has been a proponent of an income tax. In 2019, Dietsch was the sponsor for a last minute amendment, to an unrelated bill dealing with using cell phones while driving, which would have added a 6.2% payroll tax on high wage earners." with the more accurate and neutral "Dietsch proposed an income tax on high earners. In 2019, she sponsored an amendment which would have added a 6.2% payroll tax on NH wages over the FICA maximum."

Finally, please correct the false description of my alternative learning credit rules bill, which was not about "school choice." The bill tasked the state with approving various high-school programs, which the local district could then choose to accept for credit toward diploma, or not. You can see the bill here: http://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_Status/billText.aspx?sy=2020&id=2076&txtFormat=pdf&v=current NH Journal and Granite Grok misquoted me out of context to make it appear to refer to parents of younger children and to school choice in general. Other papers picked up the NH Journal quote. NH Journal and Granite Grok are widely known for their extreme partisan bent. At the very least, please correct the description of the bill.

Thank you. I appreciate your help. Jdietsch (talk) 03:47, 31 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Hillsdale College, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say.
