In the name of ALLAH, the compassionate, the merciful

Welcome!

I am a new Libyan Wikipedian studying at Queen's University. I enjoy contributing to Wikipedia as I undertake my research. This activity helps me in research itself by keeping me tuned, inspired and well-informed. I learn a lot from Wikipedia and so would like to give back.

I have started wikiing since Nov. 2006, but I am a long time client since its beginnings. At this stage I create stubs, that is, articles with minimal content. It is most likely that I would return back to stubs I create to elaborate on. You may notice that my user page needs "some" clean up. In Wikipedia's terminology it is stub.

Contributions

Here are the articles I have seeded

Math

Lin-Kernighan algorithm, K-opt, 3-opt, 2-opt, K-minimum spanning tree, Robust optimization, Successive linear programming, Bilinear program and Multilevel programming

Other

Teaching dossier

As well, I have helped in obtaining permission to use Mathematical Programming Glossary in Wikipedia.

Interests

I am interested and working in the area of Wireless Networks. I am also interested in Operations Research in general and Optimizations in particular, and support the copyleft concept.

List of publications in mathematics

There is an effort to organize a list of important publications in many areas of science. Such a list captures the major achievements in each field and might be a valuable asset for one trying to learn a new field. The List of publications in computer science is the oldest and most mature list and might show the goal of the lists. The rest of the list need much more contributions. Please try to improve the mathematics related lists:

Neutral point of view

Wikipedia's editorial policy is the "neutral point of view," often abbreviated "NPOV." This policy says that we accept all the significant viewpoints on an issue. Instead of simply stating one perspective, we try to present all relevant viewpoints without judging them. Our aim is to be informative, not persuasive. Our policy does NOT mean that our articles are expected to be 100% "objective," since in any dispute all sides believe their view to be "true."

It's OK to state opinions in articles, but they must be presented as opinions, not as fact. Also, it's a good idea to attribute these opinions, for example "Supporters of this say that..." or "Notable commentator X believes that..."

You might hear Wikipedians referring to an article as "POV." This is Wikipedia slang for a biased article, or one obviously written from a single perspective. Advertising would fall in this category, as would a political diatribe. In a less extreme case, an article might have "POV" problems if it spends significantly more time discussing one view than another view of equivalent significance, even if each view is presented neutrally.

If you're going to spend time on controversial articles in subjects like religion or politics, it's important that you read the neutral point of view policy page as soon as possible. You should probably also read Staying cool when the editing gets hot. If you're going to spend your time on less emotional subjects like math or video games, you should still read the policies, but it's a less pressing concern. Keep in mind the advice here, and read the full policy if an NPOV issue comes up. See also the NPOV tutorial.
