Hi Treyjp, about your recent edit to the article Correlation does not imply causation. I enjoy reading Tufte's books, but I am not sure that his quotes are at the right place here. As you indicate, Tufte has something to say about people who use the summary "Correlation is not causality". However, the whole article is about the absence of implication (the "necessary condition" Tufte mentions in his quote); as such, I don't really see his quote fitting as a "criticism" (as the section name indicates) in this article. It could fit well, however, in Correlation#Correlation and causality. What do you think ? Schutz 08:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What if it's moved to the Correlation does not imply causation#Usage section instead? I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that because the phrase "Correlation is not causation" redirects to this article, that this article would be the most appropriate. My original idea was to add it to "Usage" but it seemed out of place there. Maybe I over-analyzed. Furthermore, do you think the reference is in the best position? With quotes ending the information, the reference seems awkwardly placed. --trey 09:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the usage section would be a good idea too (although I would also mention it in Correlation). The reference is ok; however, more generally, it could probably be written in a more encyclopedic way (e.g. explain Tufte's point instead of simply quoting it, so that it fits better in the whole article). I'm happy to give a try if needed. Schutz 10:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check out the revisions at both articles, and have a go at it if you can expand on them. --treyjp 18:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was wondering where you found out about Ana Beatriz Barros's Spanish and Portuguese roots. Let me know. Thank you. --Shamir1 06:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing my contributions with the previous ones shows that actually, that information came from a previous contributor. In line with your doubts, Yahoo says her parents lived in Itabria, but who knows where they were born. treyjp 18:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:19, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
