[edit] Places to get involved

I gave you some links for places to find articles to copyedit before. Here's a nice little list of places for editors to get involved more in Wikipedia process, if that interests you: Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Too much help. Answering questions at the Reference desks can be fun.-gadfium 08:30, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Probability and statistics sub-project

I hear there's a proposal to start a "probability and statistics" sub-project (aka task force or work group) of WikiProject Maths. If you'd be interested in participating, please add your name and any comments at WP:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Probability and statistics.-gadfium 04:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I've signed up. Hope that's an area where I can make some useful contributions. Tayste (talk - contrib) 05:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for signing up, and welcome to Wikipedia! Looks like we've about reached the critical mass for starting a sub-project (or task force or work group or whatever) so I'll probably launch it officially at the weekend by creating a sub-project page as a sub-page of WP:WikiProject Mathematics. Currently there's a first draft in my sandbox — feel free expand, amend or comment on it (either by starting a talk page for it or posting on my talk page).

By the way, thanks for making the new images for binomial distribution — very nice. Did you use gnuplot? It can be helpful, but by no means essential or required, to post the code on the Image page, as i did for the images for log-logistic distribution such as Loglogistichaz.svg. Makes it easier for others to amend or make their own versions if they wish (e.g. without use of colour) or to see how you did it so they can do something similar, and seems to be in the general spirit of Wikipedia and the open-sourceness.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it and decide to stay. Regards, Qwfp (talk) 11:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
