AfD discussion for Imperialist Competitve Algorithm

Hi Ruud! Thaks for your work on making Weikipedis better. I saw your AfD and added my comments. Actually, what you are doing is basically right for the majority of these algorithms. However, we should note that there are many algorithms that their problem is not being inspired from nature. There is a deeper problem. The source of inspiration actually is not an optimization process in nature. It is like getting inspiration from cats to design airplanes that fly. The problem is not the inspiration and metaphor itself. The problem is forcing a fake metaphor that actually does not do optimization itself. So if you are addressing the issue, it should not be just calling anything inspired as "nature-inspired cruft" and deleting it. Because with this labeling, it seems that the problem is inspiration from nature, not the ignorance of people who use birds as a model to design cars and cats to design the airplanes.

If you work in the area of evolutionary computation, you will easily notice that majority of the so-called "nature-inspired" algorithms are not really based on a correct and valid metaphor. The problem is NOT that they are using a metaphor. The bigger problem is that they are not based on a right (remarkable) metaphor, and this is the main problem. If we attack every work just because it is "nature-inspired" then we will create a dark situation where good and bad inspirations will be inseparable. So the attack code should be "fake-inspiration" and "wrong-inspiration" not the phrase "nature-inspired". Take the so-called "Cuckoo search" as an example. Is the process described a real optimization process indeed in nature that can be used to design an algorithm? Or the Water Drops. What kind of optimization is behind the Water drops in nature that can be used to create an optimization algorithm? Not at all, and the problem is exactly at this point. The same story with Harmony Search which is using something that has closed-form mathematical solution (Wave Equation) as the source of inspiration. In the majority of these papers, the metaphors are fake (forced) or are just renaming of previously proposed ones.

I added my ideas to the AfD page of Imperialist Competitive Algorithm, where by defining a set of criteria, I oppose the deletion of the article, exactly for the same reasons I explained here. Please take a look at the discussion and add your comments and reasons behind your suggestion.

Thank you for your work. I believe what you do is great and is something that needed to be done even a few years ago. But we just need to make sure that a good measure is defined to make sure that being "nature-inspired" is not the reason these papers are deleted. The reason is that they are NOT truly inspired from nature. --66.75.251.213 (talk) 10:17, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

The Language Links on the AVL Trees Page

Ok Ruud, why are you repeatedly removing links from the AVL Page without first discussing it.

For someone studying for a PHD in Computer Science you seem to have a strange aversion to code.

Please don't remove these links again Ruud. They were requested by Misplaced Pages.NNcNannara (talk) 02:21, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Coalescing

Dear Ruud Koot,

Thank you for improving Misplaced Pages in many ways.

I invite you to join the discussion at Talk:Memory management#Coalescing Merger complete as to whether coalescing (computer science) should be merged into memory management.

Thank you again. --DavidCary (talk) 02:39, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

You're being socked!

Hey! Nice to meet you. In case it wasn't already obvious, your AfD is being mobbed by sockpuppets. I've submitted an investigation that will hopefully put an end to this. I've seen several of your AfDs and I think you're doing a great job kicking out WP:OR disguised as verified academic papers. Misplaced Pages needs more editors like you; there aren't a lot of people who will recognize these circularly-cited promo pages for what they really are. Thank you for your service. Jergling (talk) 20:21, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed. I semi-protected the page to stop them. The IPs seem to come from several different Chinese and Australian universities, so I'm doubtful a SPI will turn up anything useful.

I had hoped to save myself some work by first getting most of those articles deleted, before adding in any criticism to remaining ones, but without that criticism it's genuinely very difficult to see what is going on here... —Ruud 20:23, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Boolean ring, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Decidable, Finitely generated and Finitely presented (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Users with multiple accounts

Hi, you blocked Waterfall mg (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who appears to do strongly coordinated edits with Mehr86 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (not blocked). The edits are the same citation spam, all for ~3 articles by the same author. Both accounts insert and edit the same sections and add the same references everywhere. I hope I have reverted all of it.
