Speedy deletion nomination of General linear methods

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on General linear methods requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "Click here to 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 removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. ^King Jakob _C2 23:37, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

RE: deletion of General linear methods

Hi, thanks for welcoming me to the community, and thanks for pointing out that my original stub was incomplete!

I recreated the page General linear methods because I didn't find any references on wikipedia to this large class of methods from numerical analysis that's a Numerical method for ordinary differential equations and believe it's appropriate to have a page discussing general linear methods. I introduced a number of references to textbooks as well as journal articles, as well as a very brief introduction to the method! This article certainly can (and should!) be expanded upon, and I hope that the information I provided permits other editors enough guidance to help create a useful piece of information on the topic!

Exponential Integrator talk page

Hello. Thanks for your contributions on GLMs and EIs and related stuff. I just wanted to reassure you that you picked plausible values for the class and priority fields at Talk:Exponential integrators (I would have picked the same values). The WikiProject Mathematics is a group of Wikipedia editors, including me, working on maths articles. The associated talk page, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics, is very useful if you have questions specific to maths. All the best, and keep up the good work, Jitse Niesen (talk) 09:55, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for the feedback! I'm looking forward to finally getting around to contributing to a handful of pages! MathRocks2012 (talk) 22:16, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
