He lies quite a bit to make himself look more "masculine" (apparently he's the most popular guy in school with the girls, and he has to run quickly if he wants to get away from them), he is always going on about how much more attractive he is than me (according to him, this is because both of his parents are of 100% Jewish ancestry, while I only have 3/8ths [3/4ths of the people on my mother's side]), he goes out of his way to make extremely offensive jokes about homo/bisexuality, he goes out of his way to make it look like he's a homophobe, and at the mention of anything even remotely related to homosexuality he has so much disgust for it that he must show that you could fill a whole encyclopedia with his "ewws" (not really meant seriously, according to him)." |

Metric space
I'm sorry for my error on the "metric spaces" article. Stefan Udrea 07:22, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Bogolyubov
Я не понял, почему твой робот удалил Боголюбова (я не очень хорошо знаю английский). Боголюбов Н.Н. (1909 – 1992) – русский и украинский математик и физик-теоретик, академик АН УССР, РАН. Его сын, Боголюбов Н.Н. (род. 1940) – русский математик, член-корреспондент РАН.--Ahonc 14:57, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- Moi robot uvidel chto one has "Bololiubov, Nicolai Nicolaevich" dva raza, i po etomu dumal odno i toje litso. Mi mojem pogovoriti ob ismeminii v bote. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:29, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- To iesti, chtoby my bot ne udalil matematik, nujno chtoby ih staty byli razlichnye, a takje ih imena byli razlichnyie. Eto chtoby ne dopuscati slishkom mnogo dublikatov. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:36, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
List of mathematicians
Для Безиковича, Гельфанда и Фоменко написана страна Россия/Украина, но они только родились в УКраине, а жили и работали в России или В.Британии. Поэтому, я думаю, нужно пистаь страну Россия (или СССР/Россия).
Между годами рождения и смерти предлагаю вместо дефиса ставить тире (– или —).--Ahonc 14:57, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
- Again, I use a stupid bot. You would need to change the category in the corresponding articles, and then my bot will automatically reflect that in the list of mathematicians. That is, if in the article about Gelfand you should remove Category:Ukrainian mathematicians, and then my bot will remove that one from the list of mathematicians.
- About using – instead of -, you are right. I will change to – in several days. I am travelling now, and will arrive home say on Wednesday.
- By the way, I don't write in Russian, because I don't have a russian keboard. The only nonlatin thing I can do on my current keyboard is: 옮엎머험애렇잉 :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:06, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Ты можешь писать русские слова латинскими буквами.
Я Сравнил наш список со списком в немецкой, французской википедиях и МакТутором и обнаружил различие в годах для некоторых математиков: Блум. Бланх, Катальди, Кллвиус, Келер, Хаусдорф, д'Агильон. Для д'Агильона в других википедиях пишут: (1566 - 1617), а в нашей - (1546 - 1617). Может это ошибка в статье о нём?.--Ahonc 09:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

- Esli ne hocheshi tam Kelvina, nujno ubrati ego is List of mathematicians, i takje is matematicheskoi categorii. Togda moi bot ne postavit ego obratno.

Почему некоторые математики, которые имеют титулы отсортированы понастоящим фамилиям (Кондорсет), а другие -- по титулам (Кельвин, дю Шателе, Лавлейс, папа Сильвестр 2-й)?--Ahonc 12:34, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
- Again, because my bot is stupid. There is no way a bot can know that Condorcet is a name, while Kelvin is a title, and Pope Sylvester is a pope. My bot sorts by "Last, First" in [[First Last|Last, First]]. This works for most names, but does not work so well for the special cases you mention. If you want the bot to sort differently, you need to replace the key, meaning the part "Last, First" with something else. About Pope Silvester II, I had decided to leave it as [[Pope Silvester II|Pope Silvester II]] rather than [[Pope Silvester II|Sylverster II, Pope]], but maybe that Pope word needs to be removed altogether, leaving it as [[Pope Silvester II|Sylverster II]]. All up to you. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Для Сильвестра Второго предлагаю написать: Gerbert d'Aurillac, pope Sylvester II.
- I think it should be Pope, that is with big P. So I guess you suggest [[Pope Sylvester II|d'Aurillac, Gerbert, Pope Sylvester II]], to be sorted by the bot at letter "A". Fine with me. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 13:02, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
Для Бошковича предлагаю написать страну Holy Roman Empire --Ahonc 12:55, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I guess Holy Roman Empire would be more accurate for the country for this guy. As long as the bot does not overwrite it later. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 13:02, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- Сортировать я думаю нужно на G., так как в те времена, как мне кажеться, фамилий не было, людей называли по месту рождения (Леонардо да Винчи, Леонардо Пизанский, Николай Кузанский, Альберт Брудзевский и др.)--Ahonc 13:10, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
As long as you can fool the bot to respect your sorting, fine with me. However, please note that many people will be confused that it is listed by first name rather than last name, even if there were no last names at the time. Up to you. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 13:16, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
thanks for your comments
I appreciate your comments.
I have edited, written, redirected, or removed from the list more than 100 articles on the maths6 list on the "needed articles" page, so I think I am doing my share of the gruntwork.
I came to the manifold page because the people working on the manifold page requested help. I hope I've provided that. I'm willing to change my views -- even to the extent of allowing that some people believe that a manifold can have pieces of different dimensions -- I don't think that is standard, but if it is in the book by Abraham et al, then it deserves mention on the page. On the other hand, I think I was (and am) correct in objecting to the assertion that charts can intersect in sets that are not open, and that, for example, non-Hausdorff spaces can be manifolds. Both of these claims were made by people writing the article when I began on the project.
As for the "mathematics" page, when I first began working on it, it said, in effect, that mathematics was numbers and counting and measuring and stuff like that. I hope I've provided a balance by giving the idea of pure mathematics a place -- even if it is second place -- to the idea of mathematics as "computations that are useful".
I spend most of my time writing articles on subjects that have not been covered at all, some of my time trying for NPOV in articles that seem to need a cooler head, and a little of my time on the "big" topics such as "mathematics" and "manifolds". My area of research is 3-manifolds and curves on surfaces, so I do bring some expertise to the subject.
What do you think of the articles on rings? Is it really standard to require a ring to have a multiplicative identity? Rick Norwood 01:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
AfD aka VfD on Philosophical interpretation of classical physics
We could use your opinion on this article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philosophical interpretation of classical physics
I have nominated as original research but feel that it is important to solicit additional opinions on the matter before an administrator is forced to make a decision. As I mention in the discussion on the [[AfD page - I think the underlying idea - to discuss the impact of classical Newtonian physics has had on other discpiplines and the impact that QM should (but in many cases has not fully) had on those same disciplines - is an interesting one; however, I need help in determining if existing article should be the starting point for such a discussion (or if this topic is covered elsewhere).

best wishes
I agree with your statements to User talk:Patrick about poorly written articles. For some time it has been my sense that most Patrick edits make an article worse, not better. But I don't have a wisdom pill to give, nor unlimited time, nor unlimited patience. If you think confrontation by a "collective wisdom" will lead to better behavior, I'm willing to add my voice. Otherwise, my practice has been to steer clear and sadly watch entropy increase. With a notable flash point here and there. (*sigh*) I wonder if there are mental health issues, because I notice a certain echolalia, a mimicry, as with use of the word "vandalism" (just one example). That's pure speculation, of course; an entity on the internet could be an intelligent vegetable from outer space, for all we know; CH says "Some say I am a software agent which believes it is human." But you've built up enough credibility and respect on Wikipedia to achieve admin status (congrats!), so perhaps you will have some influence where I could not. I hope so. You have my best wishes for trying. --KSmrqT 22:01, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oh dear. To start, I think I went overboard on Patrick's talk page. Patrick is good at Euclidean geometry (symmetry and related areas), he should be just more careful where and how he adds information. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:18, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- I hesitate to affirm good knowledge based on poor writing. I do wish the boundless enthusiasm could be balanced with better taste. Over the years I've collected some pretty mineral specimens, and so I know how uninspiring a raw gemstone can look: dull, rough, full of imperfections. Perhaps you can coax a gem out of this stone. :-) --KSmrqT 00:24, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi!
I do plan to disover this anon's identity, use it, make huge credit card debt in Vegas strip bars, and as a final touch, publish it on the web under the GFDL. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:39, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, I don't own a credit card if you must know. I do have a cheque account and a savings account, though. In addition, I tend to keep several million Yen under my pillow at night -- for the black hour. You should consider targeting those alternatives instead, or possibly taking out a credit card in my name, rather than looking for a nonexistent thing. (It nearly drove Sierpinski mad!) But thank you for your intense interest in attempting to uncover my identity. If you are successful, my sincerest best wishes to you and the proprietors of sundry establishments in Vegas.
- All of the actions you propose are, of course, highly illegal. In fact, even the mere threat of them is illegal. So I am confronted with a conundrum. I did enjoy your paper in the Journal of Computational Physics earlier this year. Also, I don't wish to reveal my identity now or ever by "squealing". Furthermore, I like you. So, balancing the scales of lady justice, I have decided to forgive you. So I don't wish to phone up the FBI, Minnesota state police, or the Minneapolis police regarding your threat.
- Anyway, we're both cranky. It's really late for me, and I hear it gets pretty cold in Minnesota this time of year, so I imagine you're cranky too. Let's just call it a truce, ok?
- Happy Thanksgiving, 151.204.6.171
- Gosh you scared me. Come on, is it that bad to go to stip bars, Vegas or not? By the way, I moved to California in the meantime, where the weather is nice. It is a warm afternoon at the moment, so I am not cranky at all. :) But yes, truce is fine. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:20, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- Well, as far as strip clubs, I guess it depends on how cheap the drinks are. But, hey, if I ever run into you in Edinburgh, I'll buy you a lager the likes of which you cannot find in the US. In the mean time, enjoy the beautiful weather...
- ...while it lasts. [click][click][click] Mwahahaha! [/DrEvil]151.204.6.171
PMEX strangeness
FYI: Something is going wrong at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/PlanetMath Exchange/Table of topics, and I blame you! :) -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 15:02, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
- Jitse, when will you learn to blame the bot? Of course, if the bot performs admirably, you've got to tap me on the shoulder, as after all a bot is stupid and couldn't do it by itself. :)
- I guess some text got corrupted (maybe because of the slow server connection). I cleaned up the cruft and restarted the bot. Now it seems to work well. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:15, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Louis Epstein
I understand your concerns and frustration, Oleg. We'll see how it goes. I'll be updating a "Louis Epstein punctuation patrol" meter on my user page if you want to know when was last time I cleaned up after him. Regards, Babajobu 16:48, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Administrator help
Ivan Gundulić article. Whether he should be concidered Serbian or not. This: [1] (in English) and these[2], which writes perfectly about his entire Serbian ancestry and this: [3] which states his life's works and Serbian commemoration. However, the newer version of Britannica (the upper-mentioned is older) claims that he is Croatian; although, it has been proven unreliable as it claims that Rudjer Boskovic was also a Croat, yet he was a Serb. What should we do? HolyRomanEmperor 18:20, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
- I did check the references you told me, and also visited talk:Ivan Gundulić. There is no evidence of dispute in there from what I saw. To decide if somebody is Serb or Kroat would require me to know detailed information about that person and the time period in which he lived, knowledge which I don't have. As such, thank you for asking administrator help, but I don't think there is anything I could help with.
- There is no evidence there either of revert wars or any other bad things. If such stuff happens and mediation/temporary page protection is needed, just let me know. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:40, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
list of categories
what I was looking for, failed to find, and then decided we need, is a list of categories in the mathematical sense, something like:
- The category Set of all sets together with functions between sets, where composition is the usual function composition (The following are subcategories of Set, obtained by adding some type of structure onto a set, by requiring that morphisms are functions which respect this added structure, and where morphism composition is simply ordinary function composition.)
- The category Ord of all preordered sets with monotonic functions
- The category Mag consisting of all magmas with their homomorphisms
- The category Med consisting of all medial magmas with their homomorphisms
- The category Grp consisting of all groups with their group homomorphisms
- The category Ab consisting of all abelian groups with their group homomorphisms
- The category VectK of all vector spaces over the field K (which is held fixed) with their K-linear maps
which I copied from category (mathematics), except I was thinking more comprehensive. I'm not sure if every category needs its own article, but I think probably most of them do (well, maybe we don't need separate articles for e.g. Set and FinSet, I don't know). You can also look under the 'C' heading of Category:Category theory. Maybe instead of a list, we need a Category:Categories, though I would prefer a list. What do you think? -Lethe | Talk 03:13, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- OK, I got it wrong. I suggest you post this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics see what people have to say. When I hear about category theory I get weak in the knees. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 05:57, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Direct links
Yep. It was to make rate of change a disambig instead of a redirect, for a second meaning rate of change (technical analysis). I think that was fairly reasonable. I did similar to IOM (when not logged in), which was a redir to International Organization for Migration. I think that one was definitely right (being unlikely any TLA has or will have only one meaning forever). -- Kevin Ryde 20:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
MathBot
Почему ты не используешь своего бота в других Википедиях? Я думаю, если изменить код , то его можно использовать не только для сиска математиков, но и списков физиков, химиков, инженеров и др.--Ahonc 13:56, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- The reason I don't use my bot in other Wikipedias and for other lists (physicists, chemimsts, etc) is simple. As you saw with the list of mathematicians and the many discussions we had, there is a big amount of human oversight required and many things to tweak in the code. Besides, using a bot imposes certain (sometimes too rigid) formats in which the list must be. If in the future I get requests from other places for bot help, and people interested in those lists are willing to cooperate, I would consider running my bot as long as somebody checks after it and reports problems. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:11, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
"Скажи" своему боту чтобы он не изменял записи, где нету знаков вопроса (кроме тех математиков, которые ещё живы). Тогда он не будет исправлять наши изменения.--Ahonc 13:46, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello Oleg - We have been having a discussion about the proper direction of the heat capacity article. Could you take a look at the talk page under "Is Cx necessary" and please give us your opinion?

List of large cardinal properties
Hi Oleg, would you do me a favor and correct the history at List of large cardinal properties? I created it on 6 November by cut-and-paste from Large cardinal property, and I noted that on the discussion page. However a recent discussion on another page has suggested that it really ought to have the history there. It needs the history from Large cardinal property, up to and including 21:18 6 November 2005 (UTC). --Trovatore
- OK, let us try to figure out what is going on. The history of an article cannot be duplicated so that it shows up in two places. So I guess what you want me to do is move Large cardinal property to List of large cardinal properties together with its history. Then, we create a brand new Large cardinal property article and paste in there some content either from Large cardinal property or any other place. Is that going to solve things? Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:25, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
- It can't? I thought that's what admins were supposed to be good for. The history does, in principle, apply to both articles (though in fact there's not a lot left in the current large cardinal property from before the split). --Trovatore 22:29, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe more left than I thought. this diff is a comparison of the article immediately before the split, and the article now. --Trovatore 22:31, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

- It can't? I thought that's what admins were supposed to be good for. The history does, in principle, apply to both articles (though in fact there's not a lot left in the current large cardinal property from before the split). --Trovatore 22:29, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
registration (computer vision)
After moving registration out of the way to registration (computer vision) and fixing "what links here", I realize a better name would be "image registration". Since this is my second rename for the page and I know you're watching it, I'm asking your opinion this time. Art LaPella 00:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- Well, my opinion would be that there was no need to move that from registration to start with. I doubt that this word has any meaning outside the usual sence of the word and the medical imaging notion, which was what that article was about. So I think you were trying to solve a problem which did not exist. How about moving it back?
- But to answer your question, I do agree that image registration sounds better than registration (computer vision). Note that doing any move will involve deleting a redirect. I could help with that. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:16, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps you would see why I moved it from registration if you had seen what was linked to it. I have since gone through them all, but there were about 10-15 links that were really about image registration, and about 40 links for other meanings of the word. I think this is an English language problem - try typing the word "registration" into Google and see what it means to most Americans. Art LaPella 02:54, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- Sounds good, thank you for the explanation. I will now do the move to image registration. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:58, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you. Art LaPella 03:04, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer and interest!
I really appreciate your concern.
I just wish you'd be more careful with the answer since I'm talking about "deep thoughts" in there. Very deep. :P
Although I'm a comedy lover and still "a child", I'm serious about it.
I'm really only writing in here because I wish you'd ← read my answer.
Thanks again. :)

Ok, just one question... What did you mean with R^n?
I do believe, as you might have noticed, I could be in the wrong article... But if R^n is something on "advanced mathematics" like R* is (Riceri's), then it would be an even wrost article for me. I love mathematics, specially statistics, but I'm not a deep knowledger of any and I'm definetly not looking for it.
Thanks for your understanding.
--Cawas 09:10, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry Cawas, I should have been more explicit. You see, once you have a bunch of numbers, you can do a lot with them. You can arrange them in a row, or in a column, or in a table of some size (say 3×4, or 2×6, or 12×1, if you have 12 elements). From one point of view, it does not really matter how you arrange the numbers, it is still 12 numbers. From another point of view, if you want to do something more interesting with this set of numbers, like adding them or multiplying them, then the "shape" of the box containing the numbers matters.
- That's why a matrix is not just an ordered family of elements, it also matters how you stack them together. And back to your comment, one means R^n when the elements are put in a row or in a column, anyway in a box in which one side is one, so that box is actually a one-dimensional array. See also Euclidean space. Does that answer the question. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:14, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Ordering see also sections
I'm curious, because I have had the habit of ordering see also sections alphabetically (many articles I read). I saw you fixed my edit on derivative. Is it customary to order the points in see also sections by relevance or some other "parameter"? Karol 10:05, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Karol. I have no idea what the rule is and if there is any. As for derivative, I found it strange that the first link in the see also section was to automatic derivative, I would have thought a link to antiderivative or to derivative (examples) would be more relevant. So, I prefer to write things in order of relevance (although that can lead to personal biases) than alphabetical, but I don't know if there is any rule about that.

Math font size
Greetings.
Thank you for your comments on my edits of the Schwarz Lemma and Riemannian mapping theorem. I didn't know Wikipedia administrators were so personal in their replies. Seems like a good place to share knowledge.
Anyway, about the thing you spoke of, namely that replacing HTML with TeX is bad, can't that be fixed if you would just make the PNG images smaller? Formulas look way too big in math formulas on this site (in my opinion), but since I'm new, I suppose that has been discussed dozens of times. I'm still learning to navigate around this website, and trying to get used to the interface, but I suppose that will come in time.
And my final question: Since when is a unit disc denoted with ? In all books on complex analysis that I have looked through, it's either denoted with or .
Regards, Weierstraß.
- Hi Weierstraß (you must be the ghost of the famous guy :) I also like more D than Δ for the unit disc, but makes me feel uneasy.
- About images. No matter what size you choose, somebody will complain about difference in size of text and images. To have a good view the image resolution has to be syncronized with the text font size. This issue of images is a very messy one, and no good solution exists. People pray that MathML will help things. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:55, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi again Oleg. Ok, I agree with you, I guess. It isn't possible to make everyone happy :) --Weierstraß 21:38, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I don't even know if I agree with myself. HTML formulas have their own problems. I tend to lean towards HTML, and I try to not replace HTML with PNG if HTML works fine. But again, there is no good solution. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:03, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

AfD sorting...
Please stop Mathbot from alphabetically reordering the AfD subpages. The archives are done on a time creation basis and should be preserved that way. --AllyUnion (talk) 01:53, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- It was suggested to me that it helps with closing afd discussions. I don't care either way, but would like some other opinions on the matter. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:54, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- If that is the case, I rather that you maintain a separate page for it. The archives should be historically preserved in the order they were nominated. --AllyUnion (talk) 01:59, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I will ask at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Old. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 06:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Question about adement reverter - not open to discussion
Hi, you're the only admin I know, so I was wondering what to do about someone consistantly reverting my work, and refusing to constructively discuss any edits. User:WAS 4.250 has done this in edits I've done to a couple pages including E=mc^2. Granted, it was warrented to revert as my edits require further discussion. However, instead of discussing anything, he has simply gave me one liners like "Give me a source and we'll talk" when a source obviously doesn't solve anything. Hes erased my post on the top discussion page of E=mc^2, and replaced it with some writing I wrote on his talk page - putting it at the bottom of E=mc^2 's discussion page. I have half a mind to call him a vandal - but I know that he is simply stuck in his ways and .. stubborn. He indirectly called me a troll - which i found out is not what I am.. If any of my posts were "inflammatory" it is his own fault because hes being unhelpful. - In any case, what should I do about this? Fresheneesz 05:16, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but I'm with WAS on this one. Maybe could have been nicer about it, but Fresheneesz was making incorrect/unsubstantiated edits without being willing to divulge sources. This to me is a big "no no." I would glady have reverted whatever WAS did (in fact I was about to before I noticed that he did the same). I think WAS is quite open to discussion - with sources given. - JustinWick 05:49, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
- My suggestion would be that you guys revert the article to some version before all of these arguments started. Then, it is good if the person willing to add content state beforehand on the talk page what exactly he/she is willing to add, and wait for comments from the others. This in my experience is the less frustrating way of dealing with things.
- I put that article on my watchlist, so I will keep on watch on what you guys edit/discuss. By the way, I also thought that E=mc² was exact and not an approximation, and would be interested in references to the contrary. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 05:59, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
- Fresheneesz is confounding a couple of things here. He's talking about the total (relativistic) energy of a moving object, in the laboratory frame. But that's not what the equation E=mc² is about; it's talking about the energy equivalent of the object's rest mass, and for that purpose it's exact (at least to the extent that special relativity itself is exact). So the bottom line is that Fresheneesz's edit was properly reverted, on the merits as well as procedurally. Might have been better if WAS had bothered to explain that, of course. --Trovatore 13:58, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Commas in numbers
I thought the issue had been decided long ago, but you raise a good point that it should be discussed again, and a record of the discussion left in a more visible place. So I've brought it up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numbers#To comma or not to comma and I hope to have agreement on a paragraph addressing this issue on the project page.

Moldovan language
Hello Oleg,
I understand that your main expertise field is math (mine is CS), but your help as an administrator is really needed on the Moldovan language page. Should you choose to intervene, you will be the first editor to actually come from the Republic of Moldova. :)
Cheers User:Dpotop
- Hi. It seems that this business will always haunt me (before, it was at http://mo.wikipedia.org). I put the page on my watchlist, and will see how it goes. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:25, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

List updater
It seems Mathbot, as a real American, is a bit confused with all the strange decorations that aliens like to put on letters, like in Padé approximant and Müller's method. :) They are included in List of numerical analysis topics, yet the bot thinks they are not and lists them in Talk:List of numerical analysis topics#A: Articles missing from the List of numerical analysis topics. Could you please have a stern word with Mathbot when you feel like it? Thanks. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 13:19, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Jitse. Following your advice, I mentioned, in no uncertain way, to Mathbót to behave, and it did!

Just to tell you that every time I try to refresh the number of open discussions at WP:AFD/Old, I get a "Cannot Find Server" error. Perhaps your script at the UCLA server crashed for some reason? Titoxd(?!?) 03:22, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

The authority of the user Node_ue in the matter of languages
- Mark Williamson also known as Node_ue is a kid of 16 years old. (Born at 1989-08-18, Scottsdale, Arizona, United States [[4]] )
- What is the authority and credibility of this kid in the matter of languages? He didn't finished his highschool yet. All other words are useless …
- How can a kid have the authority to state that the languages of two states are not identical since by all the linguists of the most important universities and other internationally institutions recognize this fact? See the links mentioned above by other users.
- Who is Node? Who is Mark Williamson? Just look at the picture:
- Poor little Node having problem with "moldovan" language! Sic!
- I think Mark Williamson known also as "Node ue" is having difficulties to reject "romanian" words out of his mouth!
- Just take a look the way the Kid Mark looks himself: (Warning! May be in various ways interpreted!)
- Mark is an all-powerful entity made of pure energy. If you know him, you will be blessed and your dreams will come true (or at least they might).
- Strengths: All powerful, handsome, smart.
- Weaknesses: NONE!!! THE GREAT MARK HAS NO WEAKNESSES! HE IS ALL-POWERFUL!
- Special Skills: All-powerfulness, intelligence, &c.
- Weapons: All-powerfulness... sharp teeth... hrm...
- All-powerfulness: YES! THE GREAT ENTITY KNOWN AS "MARK" IS ALL-POWERFUL!!! YES!
- Link to: [[6]]
- Of course his ass is so painful….Guess why?!
Node's origin as a faggot and Jew… [[7]] (where he admits he is a faggot and 3/8ths parts Jewish origin)
- "I've also noticed a few things that are possible hints at his thinking he's homosexual/bisexual but not wanting to admit it to himself:
He lies quite a bit to make himself look more "masculine" (apparently he's the most popular guy in school with the girls, and he has to run quickly if he wants to get away from them), he is always going on about how much more attractive he is than me (according to him, this is because both of his parents are of 100% Jewish ancestry, while I only have 3/8ths [3/4ths of the people on my mother's side]), he goes out of his way to make extremely offensive jokes about homo/bisexuality, he goes out of his way to make it look like he's a homophobe, and at the mention of anything even remotely related to homosexuality he has so much disgust for it that he must show that you could fill a whole encyclopedia with his "ewws" (not really meant seriously, according to him)."
- He may be contact very easy at:

- Yahoo Messenger: node_ue (Yahoo ID)
- ICQ: 97325293
