Untitled[edit]

I do not know how to do this but in category "Russian mathematicians" Boris Galerkin should be under "G" letter (not under "B" letter) since "Galerkin" is a family name, and "Boris" is a personal name.

This is now done. For future refrerence, the right way to do it is to append the category listing with a | and the way you want the listing to be sorted. Eg. [[Category:Russian mathematicians|Galerkin, Boris Grigoryevich]]

I changed the code of the above, to match how I think it was intended to be displayed. (The original <pre> tags are now <nowiki> tags.)  — AnnaKucsma   (Talk to me!) 21:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Biography[edit]

I've added a biography, for Galerkin. The addition is an almost verbatim copy of http://smitu.cef.spbstu.ru/galerkin_en.htm. It is done with permission from the Saint-Petersburg State Polytechnical University. Citing the aproval letter below 

Dear Mr. Tom Frederik Blenning Klaussen,

The only request is to specify the sourse (to give a link for our web-site),
if possible.

There is no doubt the above contribution needs some cleanup. I'm going to try to improve the article over the next couple of days. Bfg 10:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Old and new style dates[edit]

July 23, 1906 [O.S. August 5] and March 13, 1907 [O.S. March 26] make no sense since the Julian calendar is SLOWER but not faster than the Gregorian calendar. Any available Russian speakers, please check the sources.--Jusjih 11:26, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The error seems to be mine, I misunderstood the markup of the different dates in my sources. I'll fix it soon. Bfg 00:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

Why is article titled as "Boris Galerkin", not "Boris Galyorkin"? Geevee (talk) 13:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is certainly a valid question and the answer is quite simple. Because the first page created was created with the name Boris Galerkin. If you wish to rename it, I have no objections, provided that you comply with the following points.
  • 1. Leave this notice up for at least two weeks, so interested parties may have their voice heard before doing anything.
  • 2. State clearly why this is in compliance with the Wikipedia naming conventions.

The both variants comply with Wikipedia romanization of Russian convention. The original ("Galerkin") can be considered as simplified, more familiar-looking, or easier to pronounce for English-speakers, and proposed variant ("Galyorkin") is just a romanization, without any exceptions. Anyway, I think that the original will be more suitable, because it is more common (check Google for Galerkin and Galyorkin). Thus, I think it will be better just to add redirect page Boris Galyorkin and leave article title as is. Geevee (talk) 17:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like a sound decision. However I think your wording surname more accurately romanized as Galyorkin seems a bit awkward, so I thought I should propose different wording. I had a look at [[Category:Russian_mathematicians]], and went through the lettte A, and I find there is no appartent conformance to any style. I have no experience in transliteration, so I have some difficulties in assessing which style is the best, but I invite you to have a look through the category, and see if you can find a better way of saying there are other transliterations.
I think it would be apropriate to point out that my specific reasons for finding this awkward is that it is too long and cumbersome. His name and birthrate takes almost a full line. Bfg 13:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)![reply]
