Hi Robin

Those articles are really good, you're catching the Wiki bug! - I couldn't resist correcting a typo though - sorry ;-)

Anyway, I give in - what's SOC? I googled the two names and they're definitely mathematicians, but they're not in Southampton or perhaps I should say they weren't.

My maths days are long over - I graduated in 1980 - and I always tended towards pure maths. I've been in IT since, which is why I looked up your IP.

Hi Robin, your [[Logarithm homework help]] is not quite appropriate for inclusion in an encyclopedia such as this one, ''though'' similar articles and your services may be more better suited to a project like [http://www.wikibooks.org Wikibooks]. Thanks [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]] 22:35, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi Robinh, I just found a site that might be another good place for pages like [[Logarithm homework help]], the [http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/~paquetse/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?Know-How_Wiki Know-How Wiki]. It looks pretty new and I haven't checked it out in detail yet. Have fun! [[User:Tualha|Tualha]] 00:41, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hello - you emailed me about the [[Euler's equation]] and [[Euler equations]] duplication. I'm not personally that bothered about the title; but it does look as if the former page's content should be merged into the latter's.

I think you might be exactly who I'm looking for to talk about the organization of the fluid dynamics pages.  I'm trying to write [[aerodynamics]] (it's been a stub for a long time) and it's going really slowly.  It's occuring to me that much of what I'm writing there really belongs in [[fluid mechanics]] (like the continuity assumption etc) but then [[aerodynamics]] would reduce to a simple "Aerodynamics is [[fluid mechanics]] applied to gases" and nothing else, which doesn't work for the importance of the topic.  And I keep wanting to insert [[Bernoulli's equation]], the [[Euler equations]], the [[Navier-Stokes equations]], even [[LaPlace's equation]] but of course they all have their own pages, so it would just be duplication.  And yet nowhere do we have the fact that they are reductions of one another.  Also, should I be making new pages for things like Prandtl's lifting-line theory or does it belong in aerodynamics?  Anyway, let me know your thoughts, I've started a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fluid dynamics]] to get it going. [[User:Moink|moink]] 17:28, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

:Thanks for your comments!  We should continue the discussion at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fluid dynamics]].  [[User:Moink|moink]] 19:43, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hi Robin, I picked up your [[Red-fronted Serin]], it's particularly useful to have contributions on [[bird]]s from areas other than Europe and North America. The agreed convention is that bird species names are capitalised with a redirect from the lower case form, so to give consistency with the hundreds of other species accounts, I've moved the page and created the redirect. [[User:Jimfbleak|jimfbleak]] 06:37, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

:to create a redirect, start from the page you have written, eg [[Syrian Serin]]. In the browser address box you will see <nowiki>http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Serin</nowiki>. Change this to <nowiki>http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_serin</nowiki>, (first word will be capitalised anyway) and press enter to open the new page. Type <nowiki>#redirect [[Syrian Serin]]</nowiki> and save. 

The caps convention is somewhere, I'll post again when I find it! [[User:jimfbleak|Jim]]

== Lorentz force ==

Hi noticed your page and did the redirect to our existing page, with the correct spelling. By the way, the Lorentz force isn't Lorentz covariant, per se, but it does transform as the spatial components of a four-vector. Keep up the good work, though. -- [[User:Decumanus|Decumanus]] 22:28, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
:No problem. Happens to me too, those kinds of things. By the way, there is indeed a famous [[Edward Lorenz]], who discovered the [[Lorenz attractor]]. -- [[User:Decumanus|Decumanus]] 22:35, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

== [[Most-perfect magic square]] ==

Halló Robinh, I saw the article and want to say Halló! At [http://www.geocities.com/~harveyh/most-perfect.htm] the name is David Brée not Bree. I worked also on these squares and read about the work of Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw and David Brée later. I was contacting Harvey Heinz some weeks ago but could not find the work of Ollerenshaw and Brée. Do you know where to get this book? I stoped working at [http://easy.go.is/gangleri/ferningar/] about four weeks ago. I generate only some straight forward patterns. Just take a look. Regards [[User:Gangleri|Gangleri]] 07:53, 2004 Sep 27 (UTC)
:Halló Robin, Thank you for tha answer. You write: ''I know your webpage quite well!'' Do you mean the "linear" generion algorythm? Have you seen it somewhere before? [http://easy.go.is/gangleri/ferningar/storhundrad/?x_square_type=2&x_signs=1&x_max_tables=99] shows a good construction example. If you reload the page you will get another arbitrary square. I am not using an exhaustive method, I just place "the rigth values" arbitraryly at known  "relevant positions". The code is (depending on the programming language) a few line only. For every position in the binary representation there is one if statement with asigns followed by an reasignment statement. Just look here and / or e-mail me.<!--- add "&x_trace=--genesis_basic-genesis_2_main-last_step-" and also press CTRL-A to see text written in background colour ---> 
:I am aware of 8x8 squares having the property that min { a(i,j)+a(i,j+1)+a(i,j+2)+a(i,j+3) }  <> max { (a(i,j)+a(i,j+1)+a(i,j+2)+a(i,j+3) } for every i and every j. Visualy there is no (shifted) horizontal axis where the half row sums are all the same. But the construction method its not as straight forward is in the implemented example.
:I have never seen a 12x12 Most-perfect. Have you seen / generated one before? Where? / How?
:Did you know, that the square [http://reinhardt.lenauschule.de/um_mig/ferningar/from_3x3_to_9x9_fyrir_brynhildur_med_kvedju.htm] is showing 27 differnt subqueares with same row, column and diagonal sum?
:I like visual patterns. For even number squares of order n I like to replace a'(i,j)=(2*n*n+1-2(a(i,j)) and work with odd numbers only. "Gott liebt die ungeraden Zahlen." is refered to [[Leibniz]]. The [[Kabbalah]] type 4x4 and one of the 8x8 mentioned there (?) givs two straight forwad patterns to. Both regarding the consecutive position of the odd numbers and their sign. Is it worth to show this as a construction method? Regards! [[User:Gangleri|Gangleri]] 09:48, 2004 Sep 28 (UTC)

== [[Most-perfect magic square]] (2) ==

Dear Robinh, thanks for your answer and the example. I moved your answer at [[User talk:Gangleri#Most perfect magic square (2)]]. If you would post your messages at [[User talk:Gangleri]] I would be notified while loging in.

== The Wikification of John Glashan (and his works) ==

Hello, I see you've just now "Wikified" the page on [[Jonathan Routh]] by providing a second link to [[John Glashan]]. This surprises me, as there was already a link to him. Or does the start of a new section trigger the need for (or at least desirability of) new links? (I'm new hereabouts, so I really don't know. I guess I could look it up, but I've had my fill of digging around the "Special" pages for one day.)

* <u>Now I understand. Thank you!</u>

<del>Oh, er, sorry to digress, but can I interest you (or anybody) in my comment within [[Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia maintenance]]?</del>

Thanks for any feedback. [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 09:46, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC) <u>Feedback received with thanks!</u> [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 14:09, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Robinh, I've just written stuff about the excellent guidebooks by [[John Glashan]] and [[Jonathan Routh]]. I wasn't sure where to put it. Since the four can be described together, I was inclined to put them together, but I couldn't think of a good title for an article ("The Good Loo Guide et seq."?), and I certainly didn't want to create four articles. (As somebody who frequently uses a modem, I hate having to jump around short pages. I'd rather get a long page in a browser window, disconnect, and then read.) Although Glashan's contribution was considerable, it was less than Routh's, so I've put it in the article on Routh. ''Genius'', however, is a different kettle of whatever: it's very much a solo production of Glashan's. I'd thus be inclined to fold both [[Anode enzyme]] and [[Genius (cartoon)]] into the article on Glashan. Another possibility would be to add a lot to ''Genius'' and fold "Anode Enzyme" into it. (Unfortunately all I know of "Genius" is what's reproduced in ''John Glashan's World''.) Comments?

Incidentally, I have most of Glashan's books. Time permitting (and it won't for a month or so), I can say something about all of them.

Hi. I merged [[Granular matter]] into your article [[Granular material]], since i think ''Granular material'' is the better word. Have a look.

:Thanks. And don't worry about the 5 minutes, happens all the time in wikipedia. I ususally save my progress every few sentences (and hence have a lot of edits), but I thoght who the heck would wanna write an article about dry quicksand.

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike  (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public domain]] if they prefer.  The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles.  Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 2000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles.  Over 90% of people asked have agreed.  For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]].  The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".  If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too.  ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.  It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.  -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]]

==Edit summaries==
Hi, [[Wikipedia:Edit summary]] says "'''Always fill the summary field.'''" (emphasis in the original).

==Hi and modular discriminant== 
Hi, thanks for the compliments on the [[Weierstrass elliptic functions]] pictures. See, I hadn't clue that they were fractal; I very accidentally found out that something distantly related was fractal-ish, and followed the leads.  Its very odd, to me, that books on chaotic dynamics, fractals, etc. never actually mention these ... but I am now the happier for knowing this.  [[User:Linas|linas]] 05:25, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Theta functions in Weierstrass==
Hi, question & remark. 

1) Have you been able to confirm that the theta_2 theta_3 etc. that you use in the Weierstrass invariants are consistent with the definitions used given in other articles?  There's some mumble-words in the article on theta that make me wonder if all of these really are defined consistently.  I mean, your usage may be correct, but I'm not convinced that all usage in Wikipedia is correct.[[User:Linas|linas]] 13:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

2) The Weierstrass elliptic article is getting long. I'm thinking it may be time to chop it up.  Maybe invariants should get its own page? Then we could have a real subsection called "numerical methods" or something like that.   [[User:Linas|linas]] 13:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

== Votes for deletion/Continuum calculator ==

Hello Robinh. I've undone your partial revert on the [[Shock_wave]] page, and I've added my reasons on the talk page of shock wave. it's not that I don't agree that I was too harsh in the first edit, but the quality of the original material was truly abysmal, and I think that some difficult decisions were necessary to prune out everything which wasn't 100% correct.

In the '''Example''' section in [[Cramér-Rao inequality]], you made an assertion about what the likelihood function is, that simply does not make sense unless normality is assumed.

==[[PSR J1748-2446ad]]==
With regard to this page that you created I was wondering if you could help me with an interesting question I thought of. If the millisecond pulsar is rotating at that speed and is 4-5 earth radii the outside edge is rotating at way over the speed of light, 383.035581 to 478.794476 times the speed of light to be exact! I know this cannot be though. How I came up with that number was using google caclulator using this [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&q=%28%28%28radius+of+earth+*+2+*+pi%29+*+5%29+per+0.00139595482+seconds%29+%2F+speed+of+light&btnG=Search equation].

== Mathematical Coincidence ==

Hi,

I'd like to continue our discussion at [[talk:mathematical coincidence]]. I still don't feel that approximations, like pi ~= 22/7, deserve the name of "coincidence". Hope to hear from you! [[User:MrHumperdink|MrHumperdink]] 02:23, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


==Meaning of "however"==

Hi:
Thanks for reviewing the article on [[self-efficacy]]. This is a bit picky, but I noticed that you changed ''however'' to ''whether or not'' in the phrase ''self-efficacy is the belief (however accurate) that one has the power....'' One dictionary definition of however is "to whatever degree or extent." This meaning is consistent with its usage in the article. More to the point, "however" implies correctly that accuracy may vary on a continuous scale, but "whether or not" makes it a dichotomy. If no objections, I'll revert. [[User:Nesbit|Nesbit]] 14:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

:Hi Nesbitt. No worries. To me, "self-efficacy is the belief (however accurate) that one has the power..." implies that the statement is true, even as the accuracy approaches perfection. This is the way that such sentences are understood in my field of mathematics. I wanted the emphasis to be on the fact that the accuracy is immaterial. You are right about the the dichotomy, though. How about "...the belief (irrespective of its accuracy) ..."? Robinh 14:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

== Daisyworld generalised ==

Hi! From where to find model articles of Wikipedia? I am used to scientifical langiuage but my emphasis has typically been in understandability rather than in fine looks. Which sentences you find confused and in which ways?
What about if the source is my own thought but which should be easy enough for others to follow just like that? Should I first get them published in some scientifical journal? But that is difficult for a vague subject like Gaia which Wikipedia though includes. I would just like to benefit those interested in the subject.

==Gravitational Tug==

I have reverted your partial restoration to the gravitational tug article.  Giving such a precise value for delta-v is meaningless here: changing delta v of 0.0019 m/s is the same as 0.002 or 0.005 in this context.  What matters is the order-of-magnitude of the delta.  The gravitational tug is not relevant in asteroid kinematics.  This is a matter of terminolgy: the gravitational tug is used to deflect asteroids.  Asteroid kinematics is the motion of asteroids on their own (e.g. [[1999 KW4]]). [[User:Michaelbusch|Michaelbusch]] 22:33, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

== Generalized continued fractions ==

Hello!

I want to add some material to Wikipedia on the subject of continued fractions, particularly the applications of continued fractions in complex analysis. I noticed that you made many of the contributions to [[generalized continued fraction]]s, and that's why I'm writing to you.

I've already received some friendly advice ''not'' to modify the definition appearing at the article about [[continued fraction]]s. So if I'm going to put a hook into existing articles at all I need to work from the "generalized" case. The problem is that all partial denominators are currently defined to be positive integers.

There are scads of examples from analysis where the partial denominators are complex variables, and I'd like the definition in the "generalized" article to be sufficiently general to allow for these.

Do you care if I change the [[generalized continued fraction]] article all around?  [[User:DavidCBryant|DavidCBryant]] 01:18, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

:Hello again, RobinH!
:I've added one new article, [[solving quadratic equations with continued fractions|here]], that illustrates how complex numbers can enter into meaningful continued fraction expressions. It's not quite done yet, and I'm still aiming to append a proof (in a separate article). Anyway, if you get a chance to look at it, feedback is always welcome. Thanks!

== Quantum Tic Tac Toe ==

Hello, Robin!
Some months back, I registered with Wikipedia with the intent of writing an article about QT3.  Unfortunately, after I had perused ''some'' of the policies, guidelines, suggestions, opinions, et cetera ... I was forced to conclude that I could not do so.  I am therefore delighted to find that you have created an article referring to the game.

I am yet a WikiNewbie (if I may coin such a word, unless someone else has already done so), and have many questions about the proprieties of this place.  I am therefore writing to ask you for help (or at least, pointers to the necessary (more!) reading) so I can figure out whether it is proper for me to add anything to your article.  I have an interest, and a possible conflict of interest, in that I am a friend of the inventor of Quantum Tic Tac Toe, and am the author of a version of the game for the Palm PDA.

If you would be so kind as to reply to my (as yet non-existent) talk page, it would be greatly appreciated.  And if this is not the appropriate venue for having contacted you, please also let me know that.  As I said, I am as yet a stranger here.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Thank you for providing (yet another) way to answer my question! I have asked the same question in a number of different forums, and have yet to get the same answer twice, yet have gotten three very distinct and very believable anwers (and a host of not so believeable answers). I had no idea there would be such diversity for what I thought was a fairly simple probability question. Now I just have to assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of the three (Bayes, Wilson's interval and the new one you supplied). Do you know if there is a good article or textbook chapter that discusses the various approaches? Thanks again for your excellent answer. [[User:Dryguy|dryguy]] 20:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[[User:AKAF|AKAF]] 17:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
:Hi Robinh, I would certainly support a merge. If you look at the edit history you'll see that I originally merged oblique shock and shock wave and left a redirect at oblique shock. Actually the stuff at "types of shock wave" is a bit of an embarrasment, but I was having a bit of a low creativity day. The hope was that there would be enough examples of shock waves there that people would get a good ides just from the examples.

== Statistician help needed ==

The WikiProject Vandalism Studies ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject Vandalism studies]]) just finished its first study and I was hoping that you being a statistician could help us formalize our findings.  You can find our draft conclusions here [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Vandalism_studies/Study1#Draft_conclusion].  Here's an excerpt of what we found so far:

<blockquote>
The current study analyzed a sample pool of 100 random articles. Within these 100 articles there were a total of 668 edits during the months of November 2004, 2005, and 2006. Of those 668 edits, 31 (or 4.64%) were a vandalism of some type. The study's salient findings suggest that in a given month approximately 5% of edits are vandalism and 97% of that vandalism is done by anonymous editors. Obvious vandalism is the vast majority of vandalism used. From the data gathered within this study it is also found that roughly 25% of vandalism reverting is done by anonymous editors and roughly 75% is done by wikipedians with user accounts. The mean average time vandalism reverting is 758.35 minutes (12.63 hours), a figure that may be skewed by outliers. The median time vandalism reverting is 14 minutes.

==[[Crypsis]]==
Hello, I noticed you were the editor who originally provided the description currently being used at [[crypsis]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cryptic_%28zoology%29&oldid=13880214]). Do you have any sources for this, or is it just based on your interpretation of the concept? The two main issues are (1) Is avoiding [[observation]] supposed to be visual only? and (2) Is crypsis as broad as this? For example is mimicry a form of crypsis, or is crypsis a different concept? I haven't researched this much myself, but it seems hard to pin down a coherent definition of these things. [[User:Richard001|Richard001]] 01:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

:I've found biological dictionaries tend to refer to it as visual only too, and they tend to use the terms 'crypsis' and 'camouflage' interchangably. I guess we'll have to change the definition of crypsis given then, though it seems there would then be no equivalent term for the broader meaning. I find dictionaries as a whole are usually inadequate at providing reliable definitions, especially for subjects that are difficult to define without lengthy explanations. I'd really like to get the pages crypsis, camouflage and the annoying [[cryptic coloration]] (which will have to be merged into one or the other) sorted out, so that's why I brought it up.

== Minimax ==

Hey--I'm removing your recent edit to [[Minimax]], because it's more confusing than helpful in the current state. I'm not sure the best way to deal with it. Possibly get more specific in the assumptions for the theorem? [[User:Cretog8|Cretog8]] ([[User talk:Cretog8|talk]]) 22:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I added the condition to the theorem that it's for games with finite strategies. How does that work for you? [[User:Cretog8|Cretog8]] ([[User talk:Cretog8|talk]]) 22:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

: Hi Robinh. You're going beyond what I know, so I can't answer at all quickly. Maybe after I study a bit. If you're interested in [[games on the unit square]], and there's a literature on that (so it's not original research, which it looks like it isn't), then it seems like a reasonable article to create. In terms of games with no value, the reason (for instance) [[Silverman's game]] has no value (I'm taking that at face value, haven't proven it to myself yet) is that payoffs are defined on open sets and are discontinuous. It's getting into different territory than [[Minimax]] and [[Nash equilibrium]] which were primarily addressed to finite strategy games. Um, so I'm not sure where I'm going with all this. It's possible that someone at the [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Game_theory|game theory project]] would have some input. I'll be happy to look at any new article you create. I might be a good semi-ignorant test audience. [[User:Cretog8|Cretog8]] ([[User talk:Cretog8|talk]]) 17:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

:: Hi Robinh (just Robin?). I think I was getting various ideas crossed in my head; [[Silverman's game]] does not imply it has no value. The stub there definitely wants some work, though. It doesn't describe any solutions to the game. Also, it might be that it's possible to model it as being on the unit square, but it looks like the current definition is on <math>\Re^2_+</math>.

I see that you were around at the beginning (originated) article, are still here, and communicated intensively with the contributor of my pet coincidence (from among those on the page at present).

== Help with covariance matrix ==

I noticed that you made the change in the covariance article regarding [[Covariance_matrix#Complex_random_vectors|Complex Random Vectors]]. You stated that "The matrix so obtained will be Hermitian positive definite." Do you have any prove that the matrix in fact will be positive definite? Do you know any books or other references for this? I've been cracking my head to think if it's actually positive definite or just positive semidefinite, like any other covariance matrix from real valued vectors.

=== Cross-covariance ===
I'm sorry for the messages, but I just can't see the trivial prove to the statement. I've been trying a lot of things and can't seem to figure it out. If you could really help me I would gladly appreciate it. Also, would it apply to cross-covariance matrices (between two different complex random vectors)? Or it's positive definitive only for the case of the a vector with itself? [[User:Fcastillo|Felipe]] ([[User talk:Fcastillo|talk]]) 21:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

== Leopard on PowerPC? ==

Hello,

I just noticed your post recently on the Computing RefDesk. It says you have Leopard running on a PowerPC. I was unaware that was even possible - I thought Leopard was for Intel-only machines. Can you confirm this? Also, is there anything extra-special that needs to be done to get this to work? I have Tiger on my G3 PPC iBook, but wouldn't mind trying Leopard (I really doubt it would work, though).

==Need your advice/help==
Hello!  I hope you are well.  I need your help.  I face a peculiar problem which forces me to contact you rather anonymously rather than the wiki userid I have been using for years (I'll explain).  If you recall, I had contacted you w.r.t. a generalization of the Lambert W function and you recommended that I [[WP:be bold|be bold]].  I showed you the papers and made the changes to the site according to your suggestions/directives.  Since then, a lot of good work has been done w.r.t. that generalization with positive updates.  It has been cited and used in fundamental Physics.  It has even been cited by the very so-called "owners" of that function e.g. Rob Corless and D. Jeffries for the better.  This is all well and good and positive and I thank you.  However, I now face a peculiar problem namely a self-appointed vigilante who calls himself "HelpUsStopSpam", a fanatic with an issue concerning ResearchGate but whose major contributions consist in tearing down wikipedia contribution to shreds because he views anything he does not like as "spam".  He often quotes Wikipedia's policy of self-citation and he removes without proof that the wiki userid is indeed making a self-citation to remove said citation and contribution.  The Conflict of interest policy (COI) in wikipedia clearly states: "Using material you have written or published is allowed within reason, but only if it is relevant, conforms to the content policies, including WP:SELFPUB, and is not excessive. Citations should be in the third person and should not place undue emphasis on your work. When in doubt, defer to the community's opinion." However, he ignores agreements made with other editors, like the one we had, and just cuts away.  This is why I am contacting you, this self-appointed vigilante looks at my list of contributions and applies his own criteria as a means of cutting away the contributions, I and others, have built over the years! This is why I am contacting you anonymously. His talk-page is filled of complaints from others in this regard but he just ignores them.  I have myself bogged down in some kind of editor warfare. In my defense, he is the aggressor and I (and others) am the defender.  He uses his own criteria way above and beyond Wikipedia's expressed policies like citations without understanding that e.g. impact factors change from IT to Science to Mathematics.  The trouble is I don't want to break e.g. the 3-revert rule, etc... A part of me wants to lodge a complaint with the Wikipedia administrators but I fear this could backfire.  I do not want to appear as the aggressor.  A few questions, if I may?  Part of the problem is that agreements on talk page can be erased over time.  Ours is still there for the W function but some editing over the years has been applied to other sites (this vigilante started in early 2016). Is there something like a statute of limitations w.r.t. Wikipedia entries?  I.e. you should not be allowed to veto or cut or remove changes done in previous years because policies change over time? What are my options?
::I also think this "HelpUsStopSpam" is a bit dangerous for Wikipedia. E.g. He has this openly professed "jihad" against ResearchGate, he has added fuel to the fire on the Wiki site for ResearchGate just recently.  ResearchGate faces criticisms but Wikipedia is not one of the players against ResearchGate in current and past lawsuits but "HelpUsStopSpam" insists on forcing his own point of view here (and on all of Wikipedia). I submit Wikipedia has to remain objective and remain outside of such disputes.  I know this sounds subjective but in a way he reminds me of Harry Potter's evil Dolores Umbridge except that Dolores was empowered to do as she did.  I cannot see how "HelpUsStopSpam" is empowered apart from being just another wiki editor - sorry to say.  He is not an administrator but he acts as if he was.  He seems to act as if he was the grim reaper.

== Group theory question ==

Thanks for asking your RD/MA [[WP:RD/MA#Group theory question|question]].  It's been a couple of decades since the modicum of algebra I studied, so I enjoy pondering those questions which show up on the ref desk and appear to be within the scope of my limited subject knowledge.  After pondering on your question for a while I was just about to give up and ask you what the explicit isomorphism was when the very simple and obvious answer struck me.  I then wondered if you made the connection to [[Parity bit]].  Cheers! -- [[User talk:Thinking of England|ToE]] 01:34, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

== External academic review and publication of Wikipedia pages ==

Hi Robin. In case you'd not come across it before, I thought I'd message to ask whether there are any wikipedia articles that you'd be interested in creating/updating/overhauling and submitting for external, academic peer review.
 
The [[v:WikiJournal of Science|WikiJournal of Science]] (www.wikijsci.org) couples the rigour of academic peer review with the extreme reach of the encyclopedia. For existing Wikipedia articles, it's a great way to get additional feedback from external experts. Peer-reviewed articles are dual-published both as standard academic PDFs, as well as having changes integrated back into Wikipedia. This improves the scientific accuracy of the encyclopedia, and rewards authors with citable, indexed publications. It also provides much greater reach than is normally achieved through traditional scholarly publishing.
 
Anyway, let me know whether you'd be interested in [[Wikipedia:WikiJournal article nominations|putting an article through academic peer review]] (either solo, or with a team of coauthors).
  
All the best,
