==A general issue== ==Macaulay2==
Thanks for voicing an opinion on the Macaulay2/Macaulay merge, and thanks for adding the sentence about packages. I moved that sentence up to the top section, where it seemed to go better than in History, and wrote the wrong thing in the edit summary ('contributors' should be 'packages). David Eisenbud I think should go under history, since he wasn't originally listed as a main developer, but now is. Anyway, I hope you aren't offended that I moved your sentence (or confused by my summary). I'm certainly not trying to violate , and it goes without saying that you should make any other changes that you think are appropriate.
Hi. Mr. Lupu makes bases his vision on ill-constructed arguments and untenable assumptions. I genuinely enjoy working with you, and I consider you a good contributor, but I fear I am also adamant on the issue of the Holocaust in Romania (and, of course, elsewhere). I consider that sort of information highly improper, and I think the general principles of wikipedia, as well as the majority of contributors, will agree with me. I personally am saddened if that article may in fact reflect your own opinions, and will continue to enjoy collaborating with you only to the measure where you do not promote any of them into future articles. ] 15:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
: Sorry, I didn't read that article carefully, just a few paragraphs related to the Nicholschi stuff. I will have to read it all to form a considerate opinion, and then I will reply. In the meantime, please do not jump to conclusions. Thanks. ] 15:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
: OK, upon skimming through the paper in question, I can see now what the problem is. I assumed the article is of academic quality, since it was presented at an international conference, , and the author himself is an academic. But I must confess I'm not familiar with the milieu of historical research. I guess one must be more careful when using sources from there than with the scientific milieu, with which I'm more familiar. At any rate, thanks again for drawing my attention to this issue -- it's been educational. ] 15:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
::I'm sorry myself for assuming it reflected you opinion. I myself had glanced through it previously, and failed to note the problem (I was not previously familiar with the scandal involving Corvin, and I think I was either using a highlighted HTML version or simply looking for the parts you had referenced, without checking out the rest; I re-read it because the innocent title stuck with me, and was looking to see if and how it might have helped elsewhere). ] 15:48, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


Related to the same article, do you think it was correct to upgrade the article rating to Start? (I'm not sure what the etiquette is for articles covered by a project with no formal rating policy.)

* No problem, it looks better this way! I think the rating of "Start" seems appropriate now, though I'm not sure what the formal rating procedure is, either. I would also argue that the M2 article should be of mid-level importance, rather than low-level importance, as it is presently rated. But the case for such a rating may have to be enhanced further, e.g., by highlighting the sheer number of associated packages and contributors, the (relatively) large number of users, the continued NSF support, and the significant number of publications that quote M2 as an indispensable research/computational tool in the area. ] (]) 15:39, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

==Last questions==
{| class="messagebox standard-talk"
I do not know what it means to be an admin, and what it means to be a volunteer, but I went through hell to get someone to repair the damage on my biography page -- which was made by some troll whom they blocked 18 months ago, and who had an agenda against me, raising phony doubts. They simply went on in his track, pretended "verification" and "self-promotion", but would not make any search, leaving the page as it looked, damaged. I had to get really angry to get to talk to some halfways mature people: they did the repair, but of course, like in police, covered their younger colleagues. Briefly -- I remained quite disapointed of this environment, so I wanted to ask you: who is allowed to do what, and is there no practical way to get in touch directly with a mature and responsible person, when all kind of button-players seem to miss the point, but enjoy sending you to read all of the unrelated policies? Briefly: is there some escalation line, help line or similar, how does one get competent attitude, in this world? I would be grateful for some simple hints. Thanks!

I see you've added a number of links to participants, but you've also included some ].

Preda Mihailescu <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 21:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: Going through the list, I fixed various links, and added new ones to existing articles. But I also noted some glaring omissions, so I put some redlinks, as a marker (or reminder if you wish) that one should probably have articles about those people. Now, I'm relatively new to Misplaced Pages (been at it for about a month and a half), so I'm not sure this is the correct procedure. I'm sort of thinking of adding articles on those people, but I'm not sure yet. So what's the right procedure in such a case? ] 16:20, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
::You will excuse me for intervening (it is merely that I have your page on my watchlist, since you seemed to want to reply here), but I feel I should tell Arthur Rubin that there is nothing wrong in creating redlinks, and there is no need for them to be deleted or anything. From what I have noticed, some users have misinterpreted a vague (and new?) guideline, and they have probably never found the immense use that redlinks have in editing. One is not supposed to add relevant information only when available, and it is rather absurd to assume that wikipedia has covered all things essential and all redlinks are "trivial" until proven relevant. IMO, you did a great job, Turgidson, and there is no rule you have broken. ] 16:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


::: Thanks for the feedback, ]. Actually, I've been wondering for a while what to do about these redlinks. I've seen them abused -- e.g., people ranmdomly putting wikilinks around any name that appears in an article. So I've been pretty careful not to do that, except in very select situations, where I really feel that the person in question deserves an article -- as a way of "flagging" things. But the above inquiry from ] made me nervous about my assumption, so I'd still like to hear his opinion, and possibly more about the subject, which seems to be of some importance, at least to me. Thanks again to both. ] 16:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


Hi again -- Sorry, I do not know how to let you know I talk to you, other than writing here. My page was a normal functional one, with a picture and normal text, for 15 years.
:::: Creating redlinks in an inherently ''incomplete'' list (such as, for example, ]) is questionable at best, and in violation of the instructions of those pages, anyway. However, even in a potentially complete list, such as this one, because of possible name conflicts, (and the fact that most people who create an article don't check the "what links here" page to see if anyone else is referring to it), I think that, unless someone is ''clearly'' notable, one shouldn't create a redlink to his name. If you're willing to monitor the article to make sure that the links are to the correct person, I have no objection to their inclusion, but I think that monitoring ''should be'' a real requirement for the creation of redlinks to persons' names. It's not in the Misplaced Pages guidelines, but it could harm the article to have redlinks mysteriously become blue by pointing to a different person's article.
Now someone signaled me, it is a wreck -- and I see that there was a troll Skywalker or so, who boycotted it, and he was then removed, but the page was never restored. What the
:::: It should be pointed out that my first edits to Misplaced Pages, as an anon, were correcting my name as it appeared in the article; IIRC, there were 3 "Arthur L. Rubin"'s and 1 "Arthur Rubin", which were all me. It should also be pointed out that I did not <u>state</u> that you were violating some rule, although I can see the implication. &mdash; ] | ] 17:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
huck of an organisation is this. When it come to censoring a contribution which says things someone does not love to hear, Wiki immediately reacts. But when it comes to restore
after vandalism, nobody around... Is it not possible to restore back to the FUNCTIONING condition before Skywalker jumped it? I talked to you, since my gut feeling was right -- at
least you are a mathematician, I do not know what function you have here or so. So if your are not the right person, do not take it wrong - I simply want my personal page restored
in a decent condition, how it has been around for 15 years. No restore facility around? Or did he succeed to destroy the backlog file?

::::: Thanks for the explanations, I will take them into due consideration. My feeling right now is that this whole thing is debatable. I would like to hear more opinions and/or feedback before solidifying my own opinion on the matter. In the meantime, as before, I will be very cautious in adding a redlink, and use the procedure only sparingly. Also, if you feel that any of the added redlinks on the Putnam page is not valid, please feel free to delete it (some were there before, and some of the previous redlinks I fixed, by redirecting them to the correct pages). And, oh, by the way, congratulations on having won the Putnam four times -- that 's quite a feat! ] 17:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited ], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ] (&nbsp;|&nbsp;).
::::: Upon further thought, I think tend to agree more with ] than with ] on the potential usefulness of redlinks, at least when used judiciously. As a concrete example, in creating the stub for Roger Howe, I felt the need to put a link to his advisor, ] . I think this is a justified way to flag the need for a new page. One more example. In editing the page for ], I realized he was a member of the ].

::::::Thank you. My thoughts exactly: it is rather like the magician trick where, if you pull the sheet away, all objects remain in their place (whereas removing redlinks is usually like taking all those objects, placing them aside, pulling the cloth away, then placing all objects in their original positions). As for redlinks with questioned usefulness: adding them is no different from adding irrelevant links or unwikified idiocies to any text. That is to say that nobody can prevent anyone from adding crap, and that the very same system of supervision and peer review will apply to all irrelevant additions (and, in case it does not apply, it simply means that no one is in the forest to listen to falling trees). ] 21:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Eg, a photograph (but it's almost impossible to find one that passes muster with wiki!), references in the text (but I'm not sure how best to organize that, I still need to learn what's the best way to do it, especially when the sources are so diverse), and perhaps some bulleted lists of plays directed, etc. So much to do, so little time.... ] 21:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

==Q: University of Iaşi==
Hi. I just noticed your contribution to the list. I want to ask you: should we also include faculty who were alumni on the alumni list? I could go either way, but let me know what you think. ] 18:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
: Hmmm... I don't know. For example, I made a comment about this issue at the ] talk page -- Ideally, more opinions should come into play, before settling on a solution. In the meantime, I would reiterate my suggestion elsewhere: separate categories with faculty and alumni are needed for major Universities such as the one from Iaşi. Once those are in place, and respective links are established, the task would be easier, and more systematic. Makes sense? ] 18:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:: Upon further thought, yes, it seems logical to include people who were both alumni and faculty on both lists. I've seen it done elsewhere, come to think of it -- at Princeton, Harvard, Columbia, etc. (At Cambridge and Oxford, though, it's a bit different, and as for the University of Paris, it's very confusing, I find.) At any rate, take ] as a concrete example: he belongs to both lists, right? By the way ] is listed as faculty, but I could not see that mentioned explicitly in the article (only in the Categories). If such list of faculty and/or alumni is to be done well, one should double-check the info, and make sure it's explicitly mentioned in the article about the respective person, I'd say. ] 19:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


==Disambiguation link notification for April 24==
Thanks for the response. I agree with your points, but I want to point out that listing is generally easier before categorizing (you end up with just one place from which to select cat entries, and red links stay there as reminders). My main reason for asking was so that I know if I should contribute to both (although it looks like you've currently covered most or even all such entries). About Pruteanu: yes, you're right; I'll remove him until further notice. ] 19:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


An automated process has detected that when you recently edited ], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ] (&nbsp;|&nbsp;).
: I bit the bullett and started those 2 categories. I wouldn't do this for each and every University in Romania, but say, for Bucharest and Iasi (already done) and Cluj, plus a few others, I think it's worth it. By the way, I made a comment in this general area a while ago ], but it surely was the wrong forum to address the issue. Is there a better venue to possibly start such a discussion? ] 19:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:::We agree (including on the "not for each and every" issue). It is an interesting point you raise on the Dobruja page, but I think you should look at it from another perspective. As it is, info on natives and culture goes into articles on constituent cities of the region (let's face it, Tulcea County is not much to contemporary culture besides the city of Tulcea); I also think that is where readers expect it to be, and, given the centrist patterns of Romanian administrative geography, if we do not establish a level on which to expand the issue, we would risk duplicating the exact same info on concentric pages (region, county, city). Another thing to consider is that post-1918 cultural references shy away from any mentions of regions (which has left some consequences we would not be able to avoid - such as it becoming a tad ridiculous to refer to the contemporary culture of Wallachia, which is probably not the case of Dobruja or Transylvania). I would add a section on culture for all regions, but I would center it on historical tradition, ethnography, speech patterns et al, and less on universities and theaters (which I could detail in articles on respective cities). As to lists and categories for natives, in a previous discussion with Bogdan and Biruitorul, I raised the issue of creating a "tree" from cities to regions, through counties (eventually, a "List of natives of Dobruja" would be merely a collection of lists to natives of counties; the same for categories, mutatis mutandis). ] 19:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:::: Tulcea: Well, OK, but still, there is at least someone born there that I heard of: ]. Dobruja (well, I still think of it as Dobrogea): the point I was trying to make there was that the discussion was too much about historical minutiae (prompted I assume by various ethnic grudges, or whatnot), instead of whatever one could say its contributions to the wider world are in the here and now (or at least, in the past century or so). Which brought me to the fact that no University from that region is even mentioned -- deafening silence, as they say. Universities: I'm thinking of a list -- nothing complicated, to start with. I found one in that ref mentioned there, with some classification scheme which makes some sense. Tree of knowledge, with concentric circles and all the rest: that sounds too ambitious for me! That would be great for an encyclopedia, but it sounds like a year-long project to me, at the very least. Is there enough manpower (and/or willpower) for that? ] 19:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::Tulcea: what I actually meant was that Tulcea County is not much beyond Tulcea City (where Moisil is from). Dobruja: it is best if we leave most information about it to the realm of history (although this goes into far too many details, and, last time I checked, needed serious copyediting for NPOV); we could establish a culture section, but info there ought to be mostly ethnographic and ethnocultural etc. (which is unlikely to feature in other articles, and which would be a nice and valuable addition, as well as consistent with the fact that, next to history, most present-day references are on ethnography); I would leave other info to be dealt with in articles on cities (consider that a mention about Ovidius Uni is likely to be made in the article on Constanţa, and that natives are about to be detailed there; in general, I avoid listing natives in articles on regions, unless the lists prove to be very short - otherwise, we have to either pointlessly drag a text that could be neatly folded into detailed sections on a tighter geographic level, or select just a few names for the overall list, which strikes me as POV - as a provisional solution in the Transylvania article, where Romanians and Hungarians were engaged in an idiotic battle over how many names of each community should be included, I simply moved it to ],which has room to grow and can be eventually folded into county sections). Universities: I'm not sure I know what you mean. Tree of natives: it is feasible,perhaps not in one go (it's just that it is boring); hell, if Bogdan has done so much to fill ], everything is possible :). We are currently ], and, if it weren't for inane debates such as the ones on ], I'd have more interest in sorting them out. ] 20:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::: List of Universities: there is one here, ], but it's (a) far from complete, (b) more redlinks than bluelinks, (c) gives no sense of quality involved. I guess (a) and (b) can be fixed (with a lot of work for (b)), but (c) would surely be controversial. Still, methodology to do such rankings in a more-or-less objective fashion is being developed, see eg . Could any of that info be used in wikipedia? ] 20:21, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Good points. What I would do to reflect methodology is to fit them in a table in some objective order (alphabet, city, etc), and list next to each other x rank awarded on y scale. Does this sound like a good idea? ] 20:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Sounds very reasonable to me. Couple of questions, though: would one start from the existing list on wiki, or from the one on ad-astra? I'd say the union of the two, just to make sure -- with the ones not ranked, well, not ranked (and, most likely, but not necessarily, redlinked). Second, is there a copyright issue here (in terms of using the info from that site)? I'd say no (looks public domain to me), but I'm not an expert at that... ] 20:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::Myself, I would alphabetize (order them irrespective of the ranking, and include the ranking for reference, with an _ or something for those not ranked). I'm don't know much about copyrights, but it looks like the content is , and that all you need is to link to the source. ] 20:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::: OK, this is convincing. I may try to do this at some point, but it will be rather time-consuming, so I would hate to spend the time and effort, only to have someone else duplicate it. I'm not sure what the best procedure is in such a case: should one start a stub, or should one work in a sandbox, or what? Also, btw, I put some somewhat-related comments in the Romania talk page, which were prompted in part by this discussion. ] 21:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::::I suggest the sandbox. About the Romanians article: I am slowly but surely losing interest in that article; it has been hijacked by solicists and people with POVs, and there is little info in there that actually connects with the topic of the article (the History section, besides being a rant of cliches, actually relates to Romania and duplicates content; the format is chaotic; the overall feel is embarrassing). Nevertheless, the info you want to add, although it allows me to presume that you have an interesting meritocratic ideal, may be judged not to be of encyclopedic value (it may IMO, but the main problem I see is that it is subject to rapid change, more so than the overall numbers - think about Romanians in Italy and Spain, where demographics are likely to go berserk every now and then). ] 21:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::::::OK, I will try the sanbox -- haven't tried it yet. As for the Romania talk page, I've tried to get the discussion back to something hopefully more meaningful. If it doesn't work, oh well. And, as for the fact that those numbers are fleeeting -- yes, good point. One should focus on longer-term trends, not on snapshots, at least in the context of an encyclopedia. But still, one should also take into account what's "relevant"--it's a balancing act. The fact that Romania produces an educated class of people, a significant proportion of which chooses to go elsewhere, is significant, I think. Maybe a proper place to describe the situation, and put it in a wider context, would be at ], which is in rather poor shape right now, I think (though ] is even in worse shape). ] 22:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::::Agreed. (On the issue of the "Education System" article, I remember walking by it, noticing the fact that the title broke wikipedia rules on capitalizations, glancing through it for 5 seconds, my eye starting twitching, and ultimately giving up. If you say the "Healthcare" one is ''worse'', I can't even convince myself to click the link.) ] 22:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for supporting my point in ] article, in ] article some people want to keep mentioning that he was Romanian, I don't see how could that be non-POVish taking into considerations that:
# He was not born in Romania, he was born in imperial Russia.
# He was Jew at least from father side.
# He had Soviet citizenship at the time he entered Romania, and he entered Romania with forged acts to spy against Romania.
If he later on got Romanian citizenship that's something of no consequence and probably not worthy to be mentioned in the context of "who was actually a Romanian born in Bessarabia" which is misleading. -- ] 02:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

: I'm not quite sure what to say, since I haven't edited the page on the Securitate, just the one on Alexandru Nicolschi. I remember though being confronted with a similar question when starting the page for , sometimes in late December. I used at the time the info coming from the ("The position of Director of D.G.S.P. was entrusted to Gheorghe Pintilie (Pantelei Bodnarenko, of Ukrainian origin), who held the rank of General-Lieutenant, while two other Soviet agents were named Deputy Directors, Alexandru Nicolschi (Boris Grünberg, NKVD officer since 1940, from Basarabia) and Vladimir Mazuru (Ukrainian, born in Northern Bukovina) who received the rank of Major General"), but left out the details about ethnic origin, etc. In the present version of the article, this still is the case. Now, how would this apply to the other page you mention, I'm not quite sure, but the facts you lay out seem well established, and accepted by all editors (yes?). So perhaps it's "just" a matter of striking the right balance between saying too little, and dwelling too much on this or that. I know it's easier said than done, but I hope it can be worked out. ] 03:35, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

] thanks for supporting keeping the article Macrohistorical battles tied to the existence of European civilisation. I am also partial to Hanson - I love his explanation of how infantry can withstand cavalry, and his evolution of Roman Legions to Frankish levies. I also loved his analysis of how the Umayyads were able to destroy 2 giant empires on three continents in less than 100 years before Martel put a stop to them, along with the Bzyantines. (and you are right on more battles needing inclusion, especially Lepanto!)

== A barnstar for you! ==
On 5th February 2003, under the name of my maternal grandfather (Marin Bărbat), I posted an anecdote about the death of Tănase. About one year later, ], searching for infos for his newly created ] comes across my short story, as he notes
, then, he translates it and makes a
out of it. After several weeks, I accidentally discover Misplaced Pages and bump into the ], where I am discovering… my anecdote. I’m posting to Jmabel
this coincidence. (Very interestingly, on the rowiki an account of Tănase’s death reproducing the initial story - in German - was
already in Nv 2005).
Now, here it comes: in January 2007 the you discovered in Jurnalul Naţional resumes the anecdote in quite identical terms with its German vs. rowiki vs. enwiki versions.
Do we have here to do with a case of circular information ? Anyway, the chronology is: German version, rowikiversion, enwiki version, Jurnalul version, all quite identical. Should we ask Paula Mihailov Chiciuc from the Jurnalul, where she has her story from ? (Wouldn't it be tactless ?) Should Misplaced Pages have contributed to spreading and legitimating the anecdote my grandparetns used to tell ? Funny....--] 18:20, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

:Oh, if you heard a similar story about Tănase’s death, this is reassuring me, because initially, as I put in circulation this story, I was astonished to note that nobody seemed to have known it, while I always had supposed that the story was a best-known one. Glad to see that I am not the only one left… As for the telefonul fără fir, it’s already here: in the original version Tănase simply disappears shortly after resuming the show with “eu tic, el tac”. In the rowiki, enwiki and especially Jurnalul, Tănase is “found dead” two days after resuming the show. I don’t need to stress which version is more plausible.

:The more I am considering about how long “Soviet occupation” lasted, the trickier the issue appears to me… Arguments have been quite exhausted on the talk page. When deciding upon the duration of the Soviet occupation, I would suggest focusing on the direct influence Soviets had on Romanian life rather than on simple military presence. In face of the difficulties and complexities related to the legal status of the Soviet presence, using the criterion of “Soviet direct involvement” in Romanian life, could probably simplify analyse and help circumscribing those aspects relevant for qualifying the presence as occupation. Let me try examples: imposing the Groza gvt. by Visinski in March 1945, the Sovroms (already done), the Soviet counsellors, the Russification measures in education and culture, etc. I am aware of the considerable difficulties in ascertaining “Soviet direct involvement”. What is directly attributable to the Soviet presence and what is only of “Soviet inspiration” ? Was “Piteşti re-education” imposed by Soviets through Nikolski or only Soviet-inspired? Same question for the Danube-channel. Actually, all these dilemmas subsume under “Is a puppet regime an occupation regime ?”. I think not. I vaguely recall some Soviet directives on how newly constituted satellite –countries are to be governed. I should find that document. Probably we should limit – as you say – the “Soviet occupation” to the first years up to the proclamation of the People’s Republic, creating an in-depth article about “the first years of the Communist regime” including of course the Dej era (already as sections in ] article), highlighting the Sovietization and the creation, through a puppet regime, of a state mirroring and caricaturing the Soviet Union. (Btw, I think recalling someone having said just after 1945, what the new People’s Romanian Republic will mean: “I.V. Stalin plus I.L. Caragiale”.

Hi. The root of evil here is that the ] was redirected to ] by Krohn, which is POV-forking in my opinion (see also the discussion on the ]). How should we proceed, should we rewrite the Liberation of Romania article or simply propose it for deletion? Thanks, ] 13:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
:I have proposed splitting ] into two articles. The ] can then discuss the relative merits of the Romanian and Soviet forces in the liberation. -- ] 15:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the split, since the liberation and the subsequent occupation are two different things, because simply redirecting the Liberation article to the Soviet occupation of Romania was POV. I don't deny the merit of the Soviet forces (and I think no realistic person would) in driving the German and Hungarian forces out of Romania (the Romanian Army couldn't have achieved that by herself). ] 16:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

As the header says: Happy Easter! ] 10:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
:Well, the 1978 Dictionary says "Aristizza", with no alternative given (I'm guessing it's due to either inconsistency at a time when no alphabet was really set - like for "Hasdeu", "Mateiu", "Millo" etc - or some personal quirk). For the other possible variants, we have redirects. I generally pay little attention to the generic lists, precisely for the reason you indicate (it makes them hard to maintain, but, on the plus side, people who may otherwise destroy articles channel their energies in that area). I suppose linking applies to Strunga as well (I just went with what caught my eye).
:People still come up with that absurd theory about "redlinks being bad", and it is amazing that so many people would rather spend their time disrupting articles in this way, instead of contributing content. It also seems this is powered by cultural imperialism, based on what the average Anglo-Saxon suspects is irrelevant (especially annoying since it is implied that, instead of creating one good article, we should fill the room with one-sentence stubs, so that we may then have to explain, as has happened, if they are notable enough...). I say you needn't worry about the "policy", and, if this keeps going, I'll go and ask Jimbo himself about it.
:Btw, that is a nice article, and long overdue. Congrats. (Minor style suggestion: the opening paragraphs make heavy use of the word "she", which I would replace here and there with a "Popescu", for variety's sake.) ] 22:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I agree with you that Angelescu is the most common form. Still, to expand on the issue, I think discussions on what the most common form is are bound to lead us nowhere in some cases of the same period (for example, Mihai or Mişu Pherekyde is also known as Ferechide, Pherekide, Ferekide, Pherechide, Ferekyde, Pherikide, Ferichide, and even Phereckide), so we may have to go with something common instead of looking for the most common, especially since these people are a bit too obscure for a google hits-based decision. This is just to say that Angelescu may be the lucky exception. I don't know why Bogdan hasn't answered, but I see he is being harassed by some users (one of whom is Bonaparte), so I don't blame him in case he decided to distance himself from the project (though I must say it would be a shame). Then again, I have been exceptionally tardy with my own replies over the last weeks - mainly because I started working randomly on some articles that were overdue. Btw, Ornea's books on ] are a superb source on all sorts of people from the 1880-1940 period, but are difficult to search through (I bumped into a lot of info, some of which is about Angelescu, but it will take me time to build them into articles). In the meantime, you could ask another admin for the move.

I cannot really say what the deal with Lido is - the Păunescu businesses, except for B1 TV, are mysteries to me. I agree that we should have an article, but I wouldn't really know where to start (especially since googling it led me to a lot of commercial sites which we would have to avoid in creating the article, making the search more difficult than usual).

Hi. I noticed that you changed a few <nowiki><math>f: X \to Y</math></nowiki> to <nowiki><math>f\colon X \to Y</math></nowiki>. There does not seem to be any point in doing so. Can you explain your reasoning here? ] (]) 03:22, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

:I always use \colon (in latex, or in math mode on wikipedia) to denote functions such as <math>f \colon X \to Y.</math> The reason is that this provides the "right" amount of spacing between the function f and the domain X (i.e., a tiny bit closer to f than to X), as opposed to the usual : used in normal punctuation, or sometimes in math mode, as in a set delimiter, such as <math>\{ x\in \R : x>0 \}</math>, where : (or the alternative, \mid) uses equal spacing on both sides. I hope this answers your question, but if need be, I can try to dig out a reference where this is explained (I'm sure I learned this tex rule a long time ago from a good source, but I forget right now which one). ] (]) 03:34, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

But anyway you should think that when a reader will read Kolozsvár will have doubts about what's this city. In my opinion in this situations it should be used the official today English name and should be specified the names most used in that time - this way the reader will know exactly what city is about (something like ... it was in 1430 in Cluj-Napoca (named at that time Kolozsvar, Klausenburg, Cludiopolis or what name it is)).

Your options would be to (a) revert the edit yourself and then redo it if it's that important, (b) just make another minor edit to the article so that you can use "Prior edit was by me but the system logged me out by accident" or something like that as your edit summary, or (c) just let it go as not the end of the world. But it isn't really the kind of thing that would be a major priority for an administrator to step in and delete the prior edit — that's a thing we can do in extreme circumstances (like when an edit contains extreme BLP violations or tries to dox the home address and phone number of an individual), but not a thing an administrator would normally be authorized to do in a minor-inconvenience situation that you have other alternatives to resolve yourself. ] (]) 14:20, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Any thoughts regarding the best format for the RoLF structure?? Should it remain like is it now, or should it be changed?
Victor12 proposed the next format:

The category page says the source used is the list from . They give the criteria they use, and I can see, for example, why they consider ]'s Erdős number to be 3. If you want to use a different source maybe you should propose that on the category talk page or something. ] 04:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

:The Erdös Number Project says, "Not normally included are joint editorships, introductions to books written by others, technical reports, problem sessions, problems posed or solved in problem sections of journals, ''seminars'', very elementary textbooks, books on history, memorial or other tributes, biography, translations, bibliographies, or popular works." (emphasis added) Chowla and Borel's joint work was a seminar. Yes, this is arbitrary, but it's the only source claimed for the category. If we're going to use some other source, I think it should be explained on the category page. Don't get me wrong; I'm excited about adding articles to the Erdős number categories. I'm glad you've been doing that for a long time. I recently got the number of articles in the Erdős number 1 category over 100, and a few days ago I started going down the entire list from the Erdös Number Project and adding existing articles to the Erdős number 2 category; I'm almost done with the Bs. I'm just trying to get the category to reflect what it claims to. ] 13:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Macaulay2

Thanks for voicing an opinion on the Macaulay2/Macaulay merge, and thanks for adding the sentence about packages. I moved that sentence up to the top section, where it seemed to go better than in History, and wrote the wrong thing in the edit summary ('contributors' should be 'packages). David Eisenbud I think should go under history, since he wasn't originally listed as a main developer, but now is. Anyway, I hope you aren't offended that I moved your sentence (or confused by my summary). I'm certainly not trying to violate , and it goes without saying that you should make any other changes that you think are appropriate.

Related to the same article, do you think it was correct to upgrade the article rating to Start? (I'm not sure what the etiquette is for articles covered by a project with no formal rating policy.) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

  • No problem, it looks better this way! I think the rating of "Start" seems appropriate now, though I'm not sure what the formal rating procedure is, either. I would also argue that the M2 article should be of mid-level importance, rather than low-level importance, as it is presently rated. But the case for such a rating may have to be enhanced further, e.g., by highlighting the sheer number of associated packages and contributors, the (relatively) large number of users, the continued NSF support, and the significant number of publications that quote M2 as an indispensable research/computational tool in the area.

Last questions

I do not know what it means to be an admin, and what it means to be a volunteer, but I went through hell to get someone to repair the damage on my biography page -- which was made by some troll whom they blocked 18 months ago, and who had an agenda against me, raising phony doubts. They simply went on in his track, pretended "verification" and "self-promotion", but would not make any search, leaving the page as it looked, damaged. I had to get really angry to get to talk to some halfways mature people: they did the repair, but of course, like in police, covered their younger colleagues. Briefly -- I remained quite disapointed of this environment, so I wanted to ask you: who is allowed to do what, and is there no practical way to get in touch directly with a mature and responsible person, when all kind of button-players seem to miss the point, but enjoy sending you to read all of the unrelated policies? Briefly: is there some escalation line, help line or similar, how does one get competent attitude, in this world? I would be grateful for some simple hints. Thanks!

PMPredaMi (talk) 20:49, 22 January 2020 (UTC) (Continuation of : Hello, Mr Turgidson,

I contact you since I have seen you are one of the last having done something on my Wiki page, which has been totally messed up. I do not know who is responsible for the vandalism, nore when this vandalism happened, since I do not visit often my own Wiki page; I do not even know if there is anyone responsible, and I would like indeed to know. I wish my page to be restaured to its normal state which it has since 15 years, and vandalism be blocked somehow. Or if nobody is responsible for blocking vandalism, let me know.

Hoping you can help me find an answer, I thank you in advance

Hi again -- Sorry, I do not know how to let you know I talk to you, other than writing here. My page was a normal functional one, with a picture and normal text, for 15 years. Now someone signaled me, it is a wreck -- and I see that there was a troll Skywalker or so, who boycotted it, and he was then removed, but the page was never restored. What the huck of an organisation is this. When it come to censoring a contribution which says things someone does not love to hear, Wiki immediately reacts. But when it comes to restore after vandalism, nobody around... Is it not possible to restore back to the FUNCTIONING condition before Skywalker jumped it? I talked to you, since my gut feeling was right -- at least you are a mathematician, I do not know what function you have here or so. So if your are not the right person, do not take it wrong - I simply want my personal page restored in a decent condition, how it has been around for 15 years. No restore facility around? Or did he succeed to destroy the backlog file?

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:People from Ghimbav

A tag has been placed on Category:People from Ghimbav requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Liz 18:00, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Why colon?

Hi. I noticed that you changed a few <math>f: X \to Y</math> to <math>f\colon X \to Y</math>. There does not seem to be any point in doing so. Can you explain your reasoning here? PatrickR2 (talk) 03:22, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I always use \colon (in latex, or in math mode on wikipedia) to denote functions such as f : X → Y . {\displaystyle f\colon X\to Y.} The reason is that this provides the "right" amount of spacing between the function f and the domain X (i.e., a tiny bit closer to f than to X), as opposed to the usual : used in normal punctuation, or sometimes in math mode, as in a set delimiter, such as { x ∈ R : x > 0 } {\displaystyle \{x\in \mathbb {R} :x>0\}} , where : (or the alternative, \mid) uses equal spacing on both sides. I hope this answers your question, but if need be, I can try to dig out a reference where this is explained (I'm sure I learned this tex rule a long time ago from a good source, but I forget right now which one). Turgidson (talk) 03:34, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation. I have to admit that I never paid attention to this difference between f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} and f : X → Y {\displaystyle f\colon X\to Y} . I see now that there is one, but it never bothered me before and still doesn't. I would venture that the number of people bothered by the first version here is an extremely small minority. It does not seem enough to merit these edits, in my opinion. But I see where you are coming from. PatrickR2 (talk) 05:03, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
And actually it could even be debatable which version is "better". PatrickR2 (talk) 05:06, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
This is the format recommended by the American Mathematical Society, according to their Short Math Guide for LATEX (page 12): "Note 1. The : by itself produces a colon with class-3 (relation) spacing. The command \colon produces special spacing for use in constructions such as f : A → B . {\displaystyle f\colon A\to B.} " Turgidson (talk) 11:30, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the words of encouragement; I can certainly use some in the face of the relentless deletion juggernaut I am confronted with, one that can never be satisfied, no matter how many pertinent facts and references I adduce.

If you're satisfied with the references, just remove the proposed deletion tag. See WP:PROD#Objecting. At that point, deletion can only occur at AfD where other editors can evaluate your sources.
Also, a few days ago, I added some references to the bottom of List of natural gas fields in Romania - perhaps they can help some of these fields. --A. B. 05:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

That does happen once in a while. Your options would be to (a) revert the edit yourself and then redo it if it's that important, (b) just make another minor edit to the article so that you can use "Prior edit was by me but the system logged me out by accident" or something like that as your edit summary, or (c) just let it go as not the end of the world. But it isn't really the kind of thing that would be a major priority for an administrator to step in and delete the prior edit — that's a thing we can do in extreme circumstances (like when an edit contains extreme BLP violations or tries to dox the home address and phone number of an individual), but not a thing an administrator would normally be authorized to do in a minor-inconvenience situation that you have other alternatives to resolve yourself.
