[edit] Welcome

Hello, Woollymammoth, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

If you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to anounce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.

Finally, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

Again, welcome!—dima /sb.tk/ 03:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linear regression

I agree with you that this article could be substantially improved, in terms of both writing and organization. I think it would be great if you would edit boldly, either directly or from the French translation. Jeremy Tobacman 01:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I appreciate your contributions to linear regression. I also have these two criticisms:

  • You're using too many capital letters. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style on section headings. An initial letter should not be capitalized just because it's in a section heading; that conflicts with Wikipedia's conventions.
  • Please note this difference:
\vec X = <f_1(\vec x),f_1(\vec x), ..., f_n(\vec x)> \,
\vec X = \langle f_1(\vec x),f_1(\vec x), \dots, f_n(\vec x)\rangle \,
The latter is standard. Michael Hardy 23:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Michael. You need to read a bit about Wikipedia's style. For example, new comments on talk pages go at the bottom. Please read up a bit before editing again. — Chris53516 (Talk) 19:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regression analysis: proposed lead

Dear Woollymammoth: I see that you are a recent contributor to Regression analysis. Would you consider giving an opinion for or against the following Talk:Regression analysis#Proposed lead and any comments you might wish to leave? The reasons are listed there. My thanks. --Thomasmeeks 13:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments and revision of the above, Woollymammoth. May I have your permission to list you at the top of "Proposed lead" (in support of the proposed lead)? Regards, Thomasmeeks 14:32, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you on your most recent response, Woollymammoth. I am going to leave as is at top of that section: no names (even mine) except the person who blocked earlier lead Edits. The latter was a blessing in disguise, b/c I cut down the wordiness on what I first had by the time I finally put Edit in the article. That was replaced by another very good Edit (which I'll attempt to do some very minor improvements on). When you and my other friend joined the discussion on the Talk page, it assured that a much-improved lead would be installed. Thx again for that. I hope you continue to offer improvements on the article. In any case, best wishes. --Thomasmeeks 20:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I have proposed an award at the Ukraine Wikiproject - You appear to be a member of the project and I would like some feedback from you - thanks // Finns

They are discussing Kyiv/Kiev spelling again at Talk:Kiev/naming. Maybe you may be interested. Bandurist 22:15, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ukrainian grammar

Thanks for your excellent work on the article. It is some of the best English-language documentation of Ukrainian that I've seen. There's the Routledge grammar, and there's this, and below that the available materials are really pretty deficient. Молодець. eritain (talk) 01:44, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
