Macaulay2
editThanks for voicing an opinion on the Macaulay2/Macaulay merge, and thanks for adding the sentence about packages. I moved that sentence up to the top section, where it seemed to go better than in History, and wrote the wrong thing in the edit summary ('contributors' should be 'packages). David Eisenbud I think should go under history, since he wasn't originally listed as a main developer, but now is. Anyway, I hope you aren't offended that I moved your sentence (or confused by my summary). I'm certainly not trying to violate [WP:OWN], and it goes without saying that you should make any other changes that you think are appropriate.
Related to the same article, do you think it was correct to upgrade the article rating to Start? (I'm not sure what the etiquette is for articles covered by a project with no formal rating policy.) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- No problem, it looks better this way! I think the rating of "Start" seems appropriate now, though I'm not sure what the formal rating procedure is, either. I would also argue that the M2 article should be of mid-level importance, rather than low-level importance, as it is presently rated. But the case for such a rating may have to be enhanced further, e.g., by highlighting the sheer number of associated packages and contributors, the (relatively) large number of users, the continued NSF support, and the significant number of publications that quote M2 as an indispensable research/computational tool in the area.

Last questions
editI do not know what it means to be an admin, and what it means to be a volunteer, but I went through hell to get someone to repair the damage on my biography page -- which was made by some troll whom they blocked 18 months ago, and who had an agenda against me, raising phony doubts. They simply went on in his track, pretended "verification" and "self-promotion", but would not make any search, leaving the page as it looked, damaged. I had to get really angry to get to talk to some halfways mature people: they did the repair, but of course, like in police, covered their younger colleagues. Briefly -- I remained quite disapointed of this environment, so I wanted to ask you: who is allowed to do what, and is there no practical way to get in touch directly with a mature and responsible person, when all kind of button-players seem to miss the point, but enjoy sending you to read all of the unrelated policies? Briefly: is there some escalation line, help line or similar, how does one get competent attitude, in this world? I would be grateful for some simple hints. Thanks!
PMPredaMi (talk) 20:49, 22 January 2020 (UTC) (Continuation of : Hello, Mr Turgidson,
I contact you since I have seen you are one of the last having done something on my Wiki page, which has been totally messed up. I do not know who is responsible for the vandalism, nore when this vandalism happened, since I do not visit often my own Wiki page; I do not even know if there is anyone responsible, and I would like indeed to know. I wish my page to be restaured to its normal state which it has since 15 years, and vandalism be blocked somehow. Or if nobody is responsible for blocking vandalism, let me know.
Hoping you can help me find an answer, I thank you in advance

Hi again -- Sorry, I do not know how to let you know I talk to you, other than writing here. My page was a normal functional one, with a picture and normal text, for 15 years.
Now someone signaled me, it is a wreck -- and I see that there was a troll Skywalker or so, who boycotted it, and he was then removed, but the page was never restored. What the
huck of an organisation is this. When it come to censoring a contribution which says things someone does not love to hear, Wiki immediately reacts. But when it comes to restore
after vandalism, nobody around... Is it not possible to restore back to the FUNCTIONING condition before Skywalker jumped it? I talked to you, since my gut feeling was right -- at
least you are a mathematician, I do not know what function you have here or so. So if your are not the right person, do not take it wrong - I simply want my personal page restored
in a decent condition, how it has been around for 15 years. No restore facility around? Or did he succeed to destroy the backlog file?

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 "Contest this speedy deletion".

Why colon?
editHi. I noticed that you changed a few <math>f: X \to Y</math> to <math>f\colon X \to Y</math>. There does not seem to be any point in doing so. Can you explain your reasoning here? PatrickR2 (talk) 03:22, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- I always use \colon (in latex, or in math mode on wikipedia) to denote functions such as The reason is that this provides the "right" amount of spacing between the function f and the domain X (i.e., a tiny bit closer to f than to X), as opposed to the usual : used in normal punctuation, or sometimes in math mode, as in a set delimiter, such as , where : (or the alternative, \mid) uses equal spacing on both sides. I hope this answers your question, but if need be, I can try to dig out a reference where this is explained (I'm sure I learned this tex rule a long time ago from a good source, but I forget right now which one). Turgidson (talk) 03:34, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation. I have to admit that I never paid attention to this difference between and . I see now that there is one, but it never bothered me before and still doesn't. I would venture that the number of people bothered by the first version here is an extremely small minority. It does not seem enough to merit these edits, in my opinion.

- And actually it could even be debatable which version is "better". PatrickR2 (talk) 05:06, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- This is the format recommended by the American Mathematical Society, according to their Short Math Guide for LATEX (page 12): "Note 1. The : by itself produces a colon with class-3 (relation) spacing. The command \colon produces special spacing for use in constructions such as " Turgidson (talk) 11:30, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

- Thanks for the words of encouragement; I can certainly use some in the face of the relentless deletion juggernaut I am confronted with, one that can never be satisfied, no matter how many pertinent facts and references I adduce. And that's not an easy task, given the rather esoteric nature of the subject, and also because I do not have an infinite amount of time to deal with this.

- If you're satisfied with the references, just remove the proposed deletion tag. See WP:PROD#Objecting. At that point, deletion can only occur at AfD where other editors can evaluate your sources.
- Also, a few days ago, I added some references to the bottom of List of natural gas fields in Romania - perhaps they can help some of these fields. --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 05:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

editThat does happen once in a while. Your options would be to (a) revert the edit yourself and then redo it if it's that important, (b) just make another minor edit to the article so that you can use "Prior edit was by me but the system logged me out by accident" or something like that as your edit summary, or (c) just let it go as not the end of the world. But it isn't really the kind of thing that would be a major priority for an administrator to step in and delete the prior edit — that's a thing we can do in extreme circumstances (like when an edit contains extreme BLP violations or tries to dox the home address and phone number of an individual), but not a thing an administrator would normally be authorized to do in a minor-inconvenience situation that you have other alternatives to resolve yourself.
