| ==MSU Interview== | |||
| Dear RoyBoy, | |||
| My name is Jonathan Obar ], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Misplaced Pages administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community ], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students. | |||
| So a few things about the interviews: | |||
| * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes. | |||
| * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.) | |||
| * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so. | |||
| * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time. | |||
| * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly. | |||
| Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name ] instead. | |||
| If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you. | |||
| Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you. | |||
| Sincerely, | |||

| == Accuracy of ] article == | |||
| RoyBoy, as someone who strives for accuracy on anatomical/medical topics, and as someone who has worked with me on the ] article, would you mind reading my statements in the ] section and commenting on them there? I have asked ] and ] to weigh in, but, as shown in , requests for help from the projects that are there to help on topics like these can be ignored. They often are ignored, I've found. ] (]) 20:27, 25 May 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :Hiya! Oh yes, the G-spot... good times that. ;D I looked over the section and diff's, frankly I'm confused by Richiez edits. Nigelj analysis is better than what I can muster this week, though not as entertaining! I'll stay on the sidelines for now, mainly not to pile on, but I intend to help improve refs. - ]] 03:10, 26 May 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::Okay, thank you, RoyBoy. I appreciate it. I'm glad that others have also weighed in and are helping. ] (]) 20:43, 26 May 2012 (UTC) | |||

Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on ].

| ==Vandalism on ]== | |||
| I thought an experienced admin should be aware of the activities of ] on the ] article. I forewent giving him a vandalism notice myself before coming to you due to the seriousness of the content he posted (<s>he makes makes apparent personal, and potentially libelous, attacks on off-wiki persons</s>, amongst other vitriolic claims) and the fact that his talk page is nothing but warnings anyway. ] (]) 05:09, 4 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :My mistake, the references he made are in fact to women convicted of infanticide; that was sloppy on my part, I was looking at the names in mark-up and didn't notice they were linked to articles and just assumed they were a continuation of his anti-abortion rant. Nonetheless, the bulk of his edits still consist of vandalism. Though I don't know that it's necessarily intentional vandalism so much as a radical POV and a complete lack of understanding of policy. ] (]) 05:35, 4 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::Thank you for this notice. I don't mind people feeling out Misplaced Pages with their views, so long as they begin to exercise self-control and contribute. But this was flagrant, blocking now. - ]] 03:50, 5 July 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :::NP. Yeah, I felt it was markedly over the line too, even considering the unceasingly contentious nature of such a page. I happened to be there while considering the RfC on ] and I thought "Well, at least I have a page open already that is guaranteed to have an admin who's dealt with something in this vein before." ] (]) 04:52, 5 July 2012 (UTC) | |||

| == Examples of ] == | |||
| I saw the wiki page, but I couldn't find any examples using actual numbers evaluating the formula. Could you give some examples of convolution, please? ] (]) 22:21, 9 March 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ====Definition==== | |||
| The convolution of ''f'' and ''g'' is written ''f''∗''g'', using an ] or star. It is defined as the integral of the product of the two functions after one is reversed and shifted. As such, it is a particular kind of ]: | |||
| :{| | |||
| |<math>(f * g )(t)\ \ \,</math> | |||
| |<math>\stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\ \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(\tau)\, g(t - \tau)\, d\tau</math> | |||
| |- | |||
| | | |||
| |<math>= \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(t-\tau)\, g(\tau)\, d\tau.</math> (]) | |||
| |} | |||
| ====Domain of definition==== | |||
| The convolution of two complex-valued functions on '''R'''<sup>''d''</sup> | |||
| :<math>(f*g)(x) = \int_{\mathbf{R}^d}f(y)g(x-y)\,dy</math> | |||
| is well-defined only if ''f'' and ''g'' decay sufficiently rapidly at infinity in order for the integral to exist. Conditions for the existence of the convolution may be tricky, since a blow-up in ''g'' at infinity can be easily offset by sufficiently rapid decay in ''f''. The question of existence thus may involve different conditions on ''f'' and ''g''. | |||
| ====Circular discrete convolution==== | |||
| When a function ''g<sub>N</sub>'' is periodic, with period ''N'', then for functions, ''f'', such that ''f''∗''g<sub>N</sub>'' exists, the convolution is also periodic and identical to: | |||
| :<math>(f * g_N) \equiv \sum_{m=0}^{N-1} \left(\sum_{k=-\infty}^\infty {f} \right) g_N.\,</math> | |||
| ==== Circular convolution ==== | |||
| {{Main|Circular convolution}} | |||
| When a function ''g''<sub>''T''</sub> is periodic, with period ''T'', then for functions, ''f'', such that ''f''∗''g''<sub>''T''</sub> exists, the convolution is also periodic and identical to: | |||
| :<math>(f * g_T)(t) \equiv \int_{t_0}^{t_0+T} \left g_T(t - \tau)\, d\tau,</math> | |||
| where ''t''<sub>o</sub> is an arbitrary choice. The summation is called a ] of the function ''f''. | |||
| ====Discrete convolution==== | |||
| For complex-valued functions ''f'', ''g'' defined on the set '''Z''' of integers, the '''discrete convolution''' of ''f'' and ''g'' is given by: | |||
| :<math>(f * g)\ \stackrel{\mathrm{def}}{=}\ \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty f\, g</math> | |||
| ::::<math>= \sum_{m=-\infty}^\infty f\, g.</math> (]) | |||
| When multiplying two ]s, the coefficients of the product are given by the convolution of the original coefficient ]s, extended with zeros where necessary to avoid undefined terms; this is known as the ] of the coefficients of the two polynomials. | |||

Abortion: "Art, literature and film"
Since going back in the history files I see that you were the one who created this section of the abortion article, I thought I'd make sure that you know (what you probably already know) that it was recently removed from the article. There was a discussion about it on the article's Talk page at "Anne Sexton/Don't be buffaloed." KatieHepPal (talk) 19:49, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
