May 23, 2013 at 20:19 comment added Seyhmus Güngören @AustinMohr either I am not able to write or you understand in other way. I AGREE. Other question?
May 20, 2013 at 14:10 comment added Seyhmus Güngören One more comment: Whatever I said doest not contradict AT ALL with the answer provided by @vadim123. Why do you want to insist on determining ONE and ULTIMATE way? This is your own understanding and everybody can also have her/his own understanding. You can not build ultimately correct things for every person. If you want to be serious and for me which sometimes really implies beging boring, then do it. But please dont expect from everyone who joins here to be in the same way. What will you do then? will you dismiss the person from the page since he/she thinks like that?
May 20, 2013 at 14:03 comment added Seyhmus Güngören @Potato Once again, one can say that the solution to this provlem is (completely/partially) provided by this person. Since the proof is in the paper AND there is a proper citation, then I can keep my personal idea, which might also deserve a little respect, that such websites are less serious than a published paper.
May 20, 2013 at 14:03 comment added Seyhmus Güngören @Potato If I had answered such a question I would not even want any citation. However there are also some questions which are by their own are quite serious and can even form a part of the paper. Then one has to cite the person with the contribution. "Thanks XY for the proof of the theorem abc". this already attributes to the owner with full citation. I simply dont want to open another portal so that the upvotes, downvotes, comments and especially reputations, which are not need to be known by the readers of the paper are also published.
May 20, 2013 at 14:02 comment added Seyhmus Güngören @potato I don't oppose the citation. It is your understanding that this or the other web-page is no less serious than a published paper and I mostly see this in most of your comments. However, without a need to urge me, I have my opinion that such forums are less serious and I make my comments and ask questions accordingly. For example I can make jokes here but not in a paper. Another difference is that all authors of the paper are fully aware of what happens in the paper. It might happen that a question is only about some details of a little question.
May 20, 2013 at 3:49 comment added Potato Seyhmus, I urge you to reconsider your opinion here. Andres is entirely correct. A conversation that happens on the internet is no less serious and no less deserving of citation than one that happens in real life. There is no downside to including a link to it. The author whose work you are citing deserves to have their original ideas available.
May 19, 2013 at 1:56 comment added Seyhmus Güngören I think we are talking about different things. I agree on citing, but this is a web-page of discussion and in many cases AWAY from the serious style of paper publishing.
May 19, 2013 at 1:55 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo (To be clear: A paper that does as you suggest, and does not cite primary sources, effectively hiding the origin of some results, would most likely be rejected in very stern terms by just about all but the most disreputable journals.)
May 19, 2013 at 1:54 comment added Seyhmus Güngören Okay I am saying that I dont want to make my or the others' opinions public during the process of geting an answer to my question(s) to the readers of my papers. I can not understand why I shouldnt have the right to choose in this case.
May 19, 2013 at 1:51 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo No, it is not. We are talking of publishing a paper, not of opinions.
May 19, 2013 at 1:42 comment added Seyhmus Güngören It is subjective.
May 19, 2013 at 1:41 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo Because of intellectual integrity.
May 19, 2013 at 1:36 comment added Seyhmus Güngören I respect your idea. The reason of my objection should also be clear I think. For example you had a post here, say an answer to my question. Then we have quite many conversations here and in some of them perhaps I didnt have a good understanding of your answer. I was perhaps struggling at that time to solve many questions and only one of them was this one. So why should all the readers of my paper be aware of this process?
May 19, 2013 at 1:30 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo I disagree about not including links. If there is a link, it should be provided; you always cite primary sources, if at all possible. About nicknames and such, my comment on the other answer explains how I've handled it. (In all cases I recall, the person has contacted me with their name, or has requested that the nickname be used in the citation.)
May 19, 2013 at 1:07 comment added Seyhmus Güngören yes exactly, sorry, I was not clear enough.
May 19, 2013 at 0:27 comment added Tobias Kildetoft It seems the misunderstanding I had is that you seem to be using the term "write their name" as meaning "include them as coauthor".
May 19, 2013 at 0:14 comment added Seyhmus Güngören I agree that you need to mention about them and I also agree that you can not write their names. I think we are speaking the same language. About providing a link is something different. There are other conversations which are public, BUT under the "nick names". So something is still private and you might indent to keep it private. My personal idea would not be including the link but finding another suitable way, if possible.
May 19, 2013 at 0:09 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo You cannot include them as authors, but you should mention them, by name at the appropriate place, if you are using their results. Permission in this case would not be required, as in the usual standard, as the result was posted on a public forum, but proper attributions (including a link to the relevant answer) should be given.
May 19, 2013 at 0:03 comment added Seyhmus Güngören Read please the following of the post. You can not write anybodies name to your paper unless they are a part of the work and aware of the work done. However, you can thank them, at least.
May 18, 2013 at 23:48 comment added Tobias Kildetoft I do not get the first part. Just because someone is not aware of a piece of work does not mean they cannot be mentioned in that work as having contributed.
