Hello. When you write a new article on mathematics, could you add it to the list of mathematical topics? (E.g., I see that predual is not there. Thanks. Michael Hardy 00:54, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- OK, I'll try to remember. Lupin 19:44, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Lupin, you removed my reference to the BLT-theorem in operator norm, commenting that it is not standard terminology (which is probably correct). Unaware of this, I went on and made a page at BLT-theorem. Can you suggest an alternative name for this article? Any advice is appreciated. -- Jitse Niesen 16:51, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- My suggestion would be "continuous linear extension". BLT made me think of bacon, lettuce and tomato :-) Lupin 19:44, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hi Lupin, I'm sure your edit to Template:NW England was done with the best of intentions, but please note that it is a list of districts, not of towns. Also, general practice is only to mark edits as minor if they do not involve adding or removing text. Thanks, Warofdreams 18:59, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Lupin, don't keep replacing Corel Draw, Illustrator, et al, I've added "List of vector graphics software". -- user:zanimum
- ok - sorry about that. hastily merged edit problems. Lupin 15:41, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Well done on the Jimmy Blades ex-stub! :) Nevilley 13:48, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- ta! Lupin 00:01, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi Lupin, I hope you are not offended by some changes I made at Royal Academy of Music. I felt that the "see alsos" weren't quite right, and that the article was better served with a link to Music school, which can then act as a hub to all appropriate institutions and catch the requirement for lists of them in other articles, but with lower maintenance. Hope this is OK. Also, should the article mention the RAM's view of itself as the best, a view shared with some others? I note that that RCM article also says it's one of the most prestigious ... I dunno, is this a bit of a can of worms?? Nevilley 08:54, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Looks fine to me! As to the prestige thing, I'm not really qualified to comment... but there is an informal ranking of these places which varies depending on who you talk to. It may be worth preserving some flavour of that, assuming NPOV issues can be resolved. Tricky though. Lupin 10:10, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- A comment - It can be stated that the conservatory and the academy both view themselves as highly prestigous institutions without POVing - all that says is that they think highly of themselves, which nobody would trust any more than, for example, a gold medal issued from one's own private event in which they are the sole judge. At least, I hope nobody does. Falcon 06:21, Mar 23, 2004 (UTC)
Hi it's PD not pd in the msg tag (it's case sensitive). Secretlondon 19:46, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Yup, thanks. Lupin 19:58, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hello. I'm new here. I noticed your change of formatting to remove the subscripts in the "LaTeX" logo. I know in Tex its LaFailed to parse (unknown function "\TeX"): {\displaystyle \TeX} . Is there anyway to include that within the refrence to solve the problem? Sreyan 22:27, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- I think the picture of the logo on theLaTeX page makes it clear how it should look. Is that what you mean? As you can see, the wikipedia TeX support doesn't include the \TeX macro. Lupin 22:55, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hey just wondering why you edited out all of the links that I added. I looked though Wikipedia guidelines and did not see anything that I was doing wrong. I felt my additions of external links was right in line with what has been done on pages such as http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Google&lang=en&q=Gibson http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Google&lang=en&q=Electric_guitar and also http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Google&lang=en&q=Music_lessons. I was just curious as to how my sumbissions were different from the one's mentioned above. I felt that on a page about the violin etc. it was reasonable to add a link to a site that teaches how to play the violin in addition to providing free tablature. Jeremy Casey
- As far as I could see, you were linking to websites selling teaching materials rather than teaching materials per se. This seems silly at best (should we link to every book on Amazon covering a particular subject?) and also open to abuse as a way of getting free advertising. Since I don't spend my time reading the guidelines I don't know of any specific guideline which says this is Bad, but I have a feeling that there probably is one. Lupin 09:22, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
- That's fine. I just felt like that links to commercial sites should all be allowed or none. I will just go ahead and delete the links that lead to the Fender and Gibson sites.
- Actually I think these should stay, since linking to a company's website from an article about a company is perfectly natural. On the other hand, linking to a retailer's page selling a specific product from a page dealing with the product but not directly related to that retailer seems to cross the line.
