Re: Happy Seasons Greetings

Thanks, and the same to you! I enjoyed working on the articles. Orgelbüchlein is on my watchlist now. Graham87 12:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

I never did reply to your postings about our friend. I didn't see what could be done about the project, but if he causes more problems do let me know. I've been a bit distracted by RL. Dougweller (talk) 19:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Not to worry. You have a lot on your plate. Mathsci (talk) 19:58, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

If I weren't going to bed soon I'd be formally notifying you about the ArbCom result, but I'm too tired.... Dougweller (talk) 21:38, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Ditto and sleep well, Doug. Mathsci (talk) 21:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Formal notification

Here it is. NW (Talk) 21:47, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, NW. Mathsci (talk) 21:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing. If you don't usually watchlist it, you may wish to watch WT:ACN#Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Race and intelligence over the next couple of days. Best, NW (Talk) 22:02, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Sock

Would you be offended if I revdeled your edit summary as disruption (by the previous poster, not you)? I already revdeled the username in the previous edit. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Not at all, if you block the user as a sock of Mikemikev. That will circumvent the SPI report I was making. Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 22:17, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for the clear response. I earnestly was not trying to give a hassle. I think it was important to make that explicit so that people will not try try splitting hairs or use the disengagement as a makeshift weapon. The clearer the circumstances and promises, the easier it is for administrators trying to handle any related situations. Again, thank you. I am positive, given the history, that complaints will pop up again and that the topic ban and subsequent disengagement will be brought up. Your response will help nip that in the bud with something very clear to point out. Cheers! --Vassyana (talk) 01:38, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Ironically, Captain Occam was complaining that others were not being honest about their off-wiki relationships. Matters then unravelled on wiki, probably not in quite the way he imagined when he made his requests to you. Mathsci (talk) 07:28, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

British & Irish bio articles

Howdy. I've chosen to stay away from those type of articles. I disagree with the MoS (or whatever they call it) that sides with self-indentification. IMHO, Liam Neeson, Sean Connery, Benny Hill, Tom Jones (for examples) etc etc, are all British. GoodDay (talk) 17:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you completely and I don't see why it should be made a point of dispute. I thought Benny Hill became French :) Mathsci (talk) 17:59, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Benny Hill? French? Only for laughs. GoodDay (talk) 18:11, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

He came to Marseille to be mingle anonymously with the natives. I assume he wore a mouchoir over his head instead of a hankerchief ... Mathsci (talk) 18:14, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I miss that British guy. GoodDay (talk) 18:18, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

From your username I assume you come from Down Under. Mathsci (talk) 18:24, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Not quite, see my Userpage. GoodDay (talk) 18:28, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that, Last time I was there, I was in Banff. Mathsci (talk) 18:32, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

There's too much Devolutionism & Irish nationalism ownership in those bio articles for me to stomach. 'Tis best to just not bother. GoodDay (talk) 18:03, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

AN/I

FYI: As far as Dunlavin Green, GoodDay should know that he's someone's sock (or which IP it was): the sixth edit from this account proves it has been here before, and also its ultimate intentions: "nom de guerre" for wiki-warring. Both Dunlavin and the Captain like to move pages to the "correct spelling"; and both know the obscure name of someone named Robin Flower. For the SPI... Doc talk 18:34, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

It's confirmed, the 2 registered accounts & the IP account are the same person. GoodDay (talk) 19:05, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm amazed how fast CU works. Thanks to both of you for your assistance. Mathsci (talk) 19:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

NP :> But, The Captain is still editing actively. Someone needs to tag and bag them... Doc talk 19:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

It thought it was automatic at CU when the case is concluded (as opposed to the report by the CU) ... Mathsci (talk) 19:23, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Me too, but apparently not. Doc talk 19:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

To be more accurate - DG & the IP are socks of CFN, as CFN came into being in April 2007 & DG in Sept 2008. GoodDay (talk) 19:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, that's what I added later when I checked the dates. But I'll add it separately. Mathsci (talk) 19:47, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Weston A Price image

Thank you for your tips on the Weston Price image. I uploaded another one; does it meet Misplaced Pages's fair use standards? http://en.wikipedia.org/Weston_Price

Also, I don't know how to delete the old file: http://en.wikipedia.org/File:Westonaprice.jpg

JaredBond (talk) 02:41, 24 December 2010 (UTC

Please do not add new messages at the top of this page. In reply to your question, you should request speedy deletion as the author by adding

Hadamard question

Hi Mathsci, hope your New Year is going well.  :) I had a quick math question for you if you have a moment? I was doing some cleanup of disambiguation pages, and am stuck at Hadamard (disambiguation), as I'm not sure how to disambiguate Hadamard's inequality and Hermite-Hadamard inequality. I tried checking the lead of the latter to see if it offered any guidance, but can't find enough plain English to figure out how to describe it, even for something as basic as, "this is different from the other because it was written in a different year"! Is this something you could help me to decipher? Specifically, if you were to give a 10-word description to a layperson to distinguish between the two inequalities, how would you describe it? Thanks much for any assistance, --Elonka 06:36, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, I have edited several articles connected connected with Hadamard, some of which are not on the disambiguation page. I have added them to the disambiguation page and tried to group the subjects in a way that might be useful to the lay reader. Happy New Year and thank you for not being a sockpuppet of a banned user :) Mathsci (talk) 07:49, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
