[edit] TeXnical issues

Hello. I was a bit surprised to see that you'd written the following:

y = \begin{cases} x + 1, & \mbox{if } x < -2 \\ - \frac{1}{4} x^2, & \mbox{if } -2 <= x < 2 \\ -x + 1, & \mbox{if } x >= 2 \end{cases}

Contrast it with this:

y = \begin{cases} x + 1, & \mbox{if } x < -2 \\ - \frac{1}{4} x^2, & \mbox{if } -2 \le x < 2 \\ -x + 1, & \mbox{if } x \ge 2 \end{cases}

There's no need to write < = ; you can write \le instead. Michael Hardy 22:21, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] your recent edits

 Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! You recently added an external link to YouTube in an article. It has been removed because the link pointed to a non-encyclopedic source.

Per WP:COPYRIGHT:
External sites can possibly violate copyright. Linking to copyrighted works is usually not a problem, as long as you have made a reasonable effort to determine that the page in question is not violating someone else's copyright. If it is, please do not link to the page. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of copyright infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry). Also, linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors. If the site in question is making fair use of the material, linking is fine.

Please refer to Wikipedia's policy on external links for more information.
