Mathematical notation

Hello. Your edits to birthday paradox prompt some tips: There's no reason to use an asterisk for multiplication; you can write

2n + 3

or

2 × n (not to be confused with) 2 x n, in which the letter x is used instead of ×; there's no need for that.

You can write, for example, things like

cos²(x) + sin²(x).

Notice that the variable x is italicized by sin and cos are not, in both respects matching TeX style. And there are spaces on both sides of "+"; such spacing is unnecessary in TeX since TeX handles such things automatically, but in this non-TeX notation it prevents clutter and aids legibility.

Hi Michael,
thanks for the correction of the article and the hints.
I wanted to use the "math-tag" "on the fly", but last time I used TeX syntax must have been months ago, so I failed and wrote the formulas in plain text.
Best regards, Wolfgang - Wzwz 21:26, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

p.s.:
And thanks for replacing "i" with "n".
I saw the error some minutes ago, reading the downloaded version from yesterday and I just wanted to correct it.
Reason of error: "i" is the variable of the javascript which was used for table and pictures [ :-( ].

more ...

Hello. Your recent editing inspires some further observations:

There is no need to write a >= b.

You can write a ≥ b instead.

There is no need to write c[i] if you mean c_i .

There is no need to use the br character in the ways in which you've used it.

Please see my editing of cycles and fixed points. Michael Hardy 22:42, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michael,

≥ ?
Very surprising, earlier I've tested ≥ = ≥ in a local file with some browsers, there was no success with Netscape 4.75
Same result: ≥ = ≥ / ≈= ≈ / ≈ = ≈
The downloaded wikipedia-page "cycles and fixed points" is shown correct, I assume this is caused by the use of "charset=utf-8".

Best regards, Wolfgang Wzwz 22:18, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just one more test: also this edit is viewed correct in N4.7 Wzwz 22:22, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image:050712_perm_0.png

Hi, you uploaded the above file... On it's description page it says public domain and then it says copyrighted... Please fix the tags on the description page, thanks. Zcrayfish

The same problem is on Image:050712_perm_1.png, Image:050712_perm_2.png, and Image:050712_perm_3.png. You also uploaded them. Zcrayfish 07:13, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes to States of Germany articles

I've noticed you've been bold and added sections concerning the most recent elections to several States of Germany articles, like North Rhine Westphalia or Bavaria. However, before you do work that has already been done before, I'm kindly suggesting to you to use the material you can find at Elections in Germany as it conforms better to the Wikipedia Manual Of Style than the tables you have written. I've brought your edits in line with the MoS. Thank you and happy editing. --Doco 18:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please edit images for Extended_Boot_Record

Your two images: Image:06-02-05-embr-entry-1.png and: Image:06-02-05-embr-entry-2.png

though greatly adding to the understanding of this topic, have a technical problem in that the term "EMBR" should not have been used. Could you please edit that term to display: "EBR" instead on your images and re-upload them? Once you do, we can remove the note pointing out this error from the page ;-). Daniel B. Sedory 09:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to let you know that I've already edited the images, but will have to alter them again; see next entry! Daniel B. Sedory 20:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would like to know where your information came from?

Wolfgang, can you please tell me where your 'rules' for computing data in the Extended_Boot_Record partition tables came from? I'd like to know, because the statements made about a Second entry's Number of Sectors are, unfortunately, incorrect when compared with real EBR partition tables. I'll be changing the article in light of the data I submitted under the Discussion page for the article; would appreciate some comments from you about this. Daniel B. Sedory 21:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:User-wzwz-100804-fh-hn.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:User-wzwz-100804-fh-hn.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 02:29, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Verkehrsgewerkschaft GDBA

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.

A tag has been placed on Verkehrsgewerkschaft GDBA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. jsfouche ☽☾Talk 14:27, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IndustriAll European Trade Union

Hello, Wzwz, and thank you for your contributions!

Speedy deletion nomination of IndustriAll European Trade Union

Hello Wzwz,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged IndustriAll European Trade Union for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Longbyte1 (talk) 16:13, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Status and Advice

As reviewing administrator, I did not do the deletions, but changed them to redirects. What you were apparently trying to do is to enter the same article under the various forms of the name. That's not the way we do it: we make WP:REDIRECT pages under the non-preferred forms. Take a look at he pages to see how it works. DGG ( talk ) 17:31, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
