User talk:Wlod

Welcome!

Hello, Wlod, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes ~~~~; this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

I put back "in" instead of ε at convex function. The general Wikipedia style is to avoid symbolic notation unless necessary, and use words if that suffices. Hope that's fine with you. You can reply here if you have comments. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Metric space aimed at its subspace

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Metric space aimed at its subspace, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page.

As I said in the tag on the article, Wikipedia is not the place for random listings of numbers. If there is going to be an article, explain the numbers rather than simply listing them. Make an article about the numbers, equations, etc if you think that it should be kept. In its current format, the article should not be on Wikipedia.

Also, the reason that I did not respond sooner is that I was not on my computer at the time. Sorry, that you had to wait for a response. Captain panda 23:05, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but I do not see how I am interfering. I simply nominated it for proposed deletion. Whether the article is deleted or not is not decided by me at this point as I am not an administator. The purpose of Wikipedia is not to guide someone throughout all the intricacies of mathematics as policy found here indicates. I hope this explains why I think that it should be deleted.

Re: your comments

I replied on my talk page on the two topics you started there. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interwiki on personal page

Hi, Wlod, nice to meet hou here.

I see you inform readers of your nickname here and pl-wiki — so I think you might want to add interlanguage links on both your peronal pages: [[en:User:Wlod]] on pl-wiki, and [[pl:User:Wlod]] here. --CiaPan 13:53, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your remarks

I am not aware of your training as a mathematician, but the kind of needless insulting remarks you made about the administrator Arthur Rubin and myself are quite uncalled for. What you wrote on the talk page of prime number seems to be your own point of view and seems to have little to do with standard usage in the mathematical profession. Why not contribute to the wikipedia with some real contributions to mathematics articles rather than pedantic quibbles? Mathsci 21:46, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please try to avoid (a) self-promotion on the WP; (b) making personal allegations of harrassment in WP edit summaries. You should be aware that most practising mathematicians avoid discussing or advertising their own personal research or writings in WP articles. Often their friends, colleagues or other researchers in the area will add these details, if they merit inclusion in an encyclopedia. You should therefore not be surprised to receive criticism if you have created articles about your own research. There are issues of WP:COI, WP:OR and WP:OWN involved here. --Mathsci 11:30, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop treating the Talk:Prime number page as a forum and writing your comments wherever you see fit. Please post your comments on a mathematics forum if you have nothing to discuss relevant to edits of the main article.

Talk:Ed Trice

Your comment on Talk:Ed Trice was inappropriate, upset Ed Trice's feelings, and contributed nothing to the Wikipedia. Please keep in mind people have feelings when posting on talk pages. Thank you. Just to clarify (talk) 17:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair division

You are right that differing values means the people can possible get more of what they want, but it doesn't make the problem of fair division easier. Fair division is hard because their values differ. Perhaps another go at it? Dmcq (talk) 12:31, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
