Tone?

I honestly don't know if you deliberately intended to offend in your talk page replies regarding the Euler's identity page, but the tone certainly comes across to me as being unnecessarily sarcastic. Fyi, I have worked on that page due to genuine lay interest in the subject and (our shared) commitment to Wikipedia. It's never nice to see one's genuine queries trashed in that way.

Ok, thank you for taking the time to make a respectful reply on the article talk page. :) 86.173.146.3 (talk) 21:58, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for you post on my talk page. Yes, forum communication is notorious for this sort of misunderstanding I'll happily strike/remove some of my comments elsewhere. 86.173.146.3 (talk) 22:07, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Ha ha, we both independently wrote the same thing about the pitfalls of internet communication.
I'd like to explain where I was coming in trying to improve the page... I genuinely love this stuff because of its intrinsic fascination. And it was also my introduction to the concept of mathematical beauty as a schoolboy - something deeply memorable. Both subjectively and objectively, I do "feel" that the page really deserves careful editorial treatment. Hence, my efforts to raise these formal points, which I can well understand may seem pedantic. 86.173.146.3 (talk) 22:24, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

RE: Taylor Series

That's a good point about the distinction between both complexes and reals; I totally forgot about that, thanks. Walrus068 (talk) 23:09, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Tajik Text

Hello,

In regards to your question regarding whether or not the Tajik text is the same as the other examples, it most certainly is.

Have a good day.

JBL from AoPS?

Hi, it occurs to me from other comments on this talk page, showing your editing interests, that we may "know" each other from the Art of Problem Solving forums years ago. And I think I have heard that you and I have a mutual acquaintance, an undergraduate student at the university where you have been teaching recently, if I'm not mistaken about who you are. I use a different screen name here from anywhere else, but maybe we should talk to each other about improving articles about mathematics on Wikipedia. I'm mostly working on articles about psychology, where I just saw one of your edits. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 04:00, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that's me. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail. (I am not able to figure out from your message who you are, but I think my real-life contact info is not hard to come by.) By the way, I re-reverted your edit: the notions of category and measure in mathematics have nothing to do with the notions of categorization and measurement in the article, one of the links is a redlink whose intended target is totally unclear, and I am very skeptical that anyone reading the article would benefit from a link to articles as broad as space and Cartesian coordinate system. --JBL (talk) 18:36, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Nigeria

Before concluding that the changes i made are weird please visit the sources and read up a little on the recent events happening in the country (economically), maybe seeing an African country with a trillion dollar economy flashed a red flag in your mind but do well to visit the sources provided. Nigeria rebased its economy earlier this year and thus became the largest economy in Africa along with the world bank changing their base year meant that Nigeria has a trillion dollar economy (PPP) or a 522 billion economy (Nominal). So please do well to leave the numbers up, we are in the hobby of updating information and since this is the most up to date information it is best to be whats presented.

Reverted edit on compact space.

Please see Talk:Compact_space and respond there. I'm not sure why you didn't read the edit comment I left with my edit. Thanks! TricksterWolf (talk) 21:37, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

re: WP:INTDABLINK

WP:INTDABLINK requires that a link intentionally pointing to a disambiguation page go through a "Foo (disambiguation)" redirect, in order to prevent the link from showing up as an error needing to be fixed. Nothing is ever supposed to point directly to a disambiguation page from article space. Cheers! bd2412 T 20:14, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
