User talk:4pq1injbok

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome, number fan! Glad to have you here at Wikipedia. I'm also glad about your interest in number theory. Your discussion with User:Anton Mravcek about representations of 1/2 has got me thinking. But I'm supposed to suggest to you some general open tasks:


[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:

Glad to have you aboard, man. PrimeFan 02:37, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome! I've now taken a bunch of stuff from HAKMEM and created an article on the interesting prime 239. (Incidentally, is this the customary place to respond, or should it be on your talk page or something?) 4pq1injbok 03:17, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure about that, I've seen it done a bunch of different ways. If you reply on my talk page then I'm going to be notified I have a message the next time I log in. But then the flow of the conversation is broken across two pages. Replying on the same makes the flow of the conversation readily understood to other users, but it might take longer between replies.

[edit] Your User page

I just responded to your thoughtful comments on pronic/oblong/heteromecic #s at Talk:Heteromecic number. When you get a chance you ought to write your user page so that your username doesn't keep showing up in red, even if it's just to say "Hello everyone." PrimeFan 20:34, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Yes, 4pq1injbok, it's nice to have your own user page. For one thing, people don't question your edits as much. I heard somewhere there's a deletionist who reverts newbies' edits without even reading them. Anton Mravcek 21:19, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • That seems highly unlikely, because such behavior would get that user banned for violations of Wikipedia policies. RickK 21:26, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)
    • It does sound unlikely, but the behavior of some deletionists can be quite outrageous sometimes. Hopefully our new friend 4pq1injbok won't have any run-ins with them.

[edit] 69105 (number)

I've gone ahead and moved 69,105 to 69105 (number) in accordance with Wikipedia: WikiProject Numbers. PrimeFan 21:46, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] sorting "other fields"

I want to sort other fields for the number articles, but i can't remember where the sorting criteria is on the wikiproject numbers page or if its somewhere else (I need to know it because their will inevitably be disagreements about what should come before what). Its something along the lines of "the most universal and eternal first, the most local and ephemeral last" I can't remember where i read that. Do you know where that's at?

(Sorry about the delay; I've been on vacation for two weeks.)
There's something about that on the project page, section 3.1, Outline of Template (and you quoted it with surprising accuracy for not remembering where it is). But overall, my impression is that we've devoted much less attention to the order of these properties than the order of the mathematical properties; and anyway, it's not always clear which of two properties is the more universal and eternal.
That said, I'd like to help with this sorting as well. User:Anton Mravcek has alrady declared his intention to undertake the sorting, but he appears to be sorting by general topic as opposed to by ephemerality. 4pq1injbok 01:49, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
