Welcome!

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

In addition, you are encouraged (but not required) to cite your sources. Wikipedia:Citation templates has some useful fill-in-the-blank type things that may make that easier, but feel free not to use them if you find them confusing.

You may want to look at some of Wikipedia's best work to get an idea of what we are aiming at.

You are invited to use your userpage to tell us a little about yourself; yours is here.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on this page (which is your talk page) and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. You also might be interested in being adopted by Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. Again, welcome!

"removed" post edit

Your post wasn't removed; it was moved to the bottom of the page. New topics go at the bottom of talk pages; not the top. I know this seems backward and unintuitive; but that's where they go. I didn't delete it, remove it, or take it away. I moved it to the bottom of the page and responded there. That's where it is. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Rowan Wiliams edit

Are you seriously asking for quotations from the Sun, the Daily Mail etc. at the time of his appointment? The se are not comments which require references as to learned journals. You are welcome to look at back copies of the said newspapers in the weeks and months after his appointment. Maybe you think that the article should not have comments in it. Perhaps that is right, but frankly, I am not prepared to find a library that has copies of the Sun of four or five years ago. Roger Arguile 13:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hilbert space edit

I noticed you added a tag to Hilbert space with the edit summary "no footnotes". I hope you spotted that the article actually uses Harvard references, not footnotes, so although it could be improved, it is not as poorly sourced as it first appears. Geometry guy 10:48, 25 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Van Noorden index edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Van Noorden index, 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 should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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.

Nomination of Vector quadruple product for deletion edit

A discussion has begun about whether the article Vector quadruple product, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vector quadruple product until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 14:38, 12 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
