Getting Psychotherapy into This Week's Improvement Drive

Hi there! I noticed that at one time or another you helped contribute to the article on Psychotherapy. As it stands this article could use a lot of help, and thus I've taken the liberty of trying to get it to be the focus of a week's improvement drive. All we need to get it for a week's worth of focus and improvement is enough votes, so go to Psychotherapy's vote page and help out this very needing article!

Newcomers' help page archive

Thanks for your questions. When I archived I used the new name of the page (Wikipedia:New contributors' help page). The archive is here, I have added it to the list (I forgot to, thanks for reminding me :-)). I was planning on moving all the archives to the new name (and possibly reformatting them to a date system, March 2005 instead of Archive 3 etc) — do you think that's a good idea?

WP:CN has linked to Clueless newbies (in various forms), then Civility noticeboard. Then it was deleted and reincarnated to point to Common knowledge. You could ask Wikipedia:Common knowledge not to use the redirect. Or we could fix up all the incorrect links (although I don't like changing people's comments on talk pages etc). Or we could just leave the situation as is. I'm not sure.--Commander Keane 03:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for tweaking the formatting of my math edits. I was going back and forth trying to get it to format right. Cloudswrest (talk) 19:37, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Binary Search

Your changes to the internal references involve a level of wikimessing that I am not familiar with, so I can't see what might be wrong: the references "below", "example" and "Exclusive" deliver no response for me (I'm using Firefox), while "Not (L + R)/2" and "proven working method" do. Ideally, the internal references would go to a key phrase, not just a section, but I've no idea how that might be attained either. Regards, NickyMcLean (talk) 20:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Hyperbolic Function Identity

Perhaps I missed it, but where in the article on hyperbolic functions is the identity $\cosh ^{2}x-\sinh ^{2}x=1$? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TV4Fun (talk • contribs) 19:21, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

User page

Hi CiaPan,

I had a look at your user page and noticed that you had a 'basic level of English' tag. I think that your English is much better than that! I think a tag like {{Babel|en-3}} (or even higher) would be more appropriate. PST

RE: wikilinks in tables

Thanks! I applied your technique to Cash_conversion_cycle#Basic_equation and I really like the results. However, there are some "bugs" that I don't know how to iron out (e.g., the subsequent header appears on the same line as the last table) . Would you mind visiting the page and fixing any obvious errors I made. Thanks. Agradman ^{appreciates civility}/_{makes occasional mistakes} 12:19, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Cash conversion cycle

Hello,

I've been wikignoming at Cash conversion cycle for a while, so I have a silly sort of attachment to the contents. Looking closely at the diffs from your last edit, I get the impression that you didn't remove content -- you were just fixing the formatting. Is that correct? If so, I'm a very happy camper; if not, I'll have to take a closer look.

A response on my own talk page would be appreciated, as I am not on Wikipedia often enough to track my watchlist. Many thanks

Hyperbolic angle

Your efforts on the Hyperbolic functions article are appreciated. However, in recently editing double angle to double argument it seems you may not know of the hyperbolic angle. In fact, the Polish encyclopedia doesn't have the equivalent of our hyperbolic angle in English. Perhaps you could translate hyperbolic sector, use the image, and get Polish caught up.

stereographic projection

Cześć, Mógłbyś mi wyjaśnić, czemu cofnąłeś moją zmianę w stereographic projection? W aktualnej wersji ładnych parę chwil zajęło mi zrozumienie, co mają znaczyć te równości. Zwykle definując przekształcenia, określa się, jakie argumenty przechodzą na jakie wartości, zatem moja zmiana właśnie to zrobiła: wskazała, na jaki punkt sfery przechodzi dany punkt płaszczyzny i vice versa. Uważam, że taki zapis jest dużo jaśniejszy. Pozdrawiam, Dodek (talk) 19:18, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Icelandic names

I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. A person's name should be consistently sorted, and that's what the defaultsort is for. A very few Icelanders have family names - Einar Kvaran, for example - but Icelanders sort these just the same, listing the patronymic either in full or as a middle initial, demonstrating that sorting by other than first name is simply alien to their usage; it's not like Russians, who have both. The custom of sorting Icelandic names as if they are forename - surname is based on ignorance and on emigres' adaptation to local custom. In an international encyclopedia, we shouldn't generalise it, much less vary depending on the category. In fact we recognise these names are treated differently when we put the Icelandic name hatnote on the articles and refer to the person in the text by his/her first name or both names. I'm not sure when and where this sorting policy was decided, but please feel free to pass along my arguments agin it. Since the most elegant solution is rejected, I'll pipe all the categories. It should be consistently correct. --Yngvadottir (talk) 12:52, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

RE: Please Repair

Hey, I am not doing any stealth edits, I forgot to fill out the edit summary and my second edit had indeed an edit summary. Also I don't have any problems against LaTeX or HTML. The easy rule is that LaTeX in text is rather ugly, so if something has to be in LaTeX you should put on display with on its own line (for example this include any summations products, limits, ...). But if the piece of math is small and uncomplicated like "M is a manifold" then the best approach is to use the wiki math. In that article you had many instances of single characters in math mode: $M$ for example ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.86.114 (talk) 01:54, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Microsoft Office 2013, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Codename Lisa (talk) 23:35, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Reptiles and frogs of the Eastern Highlands, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Striped stream frog. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Saint Petersburg State Institute of Psychology and Social Work

You removed the redirecting page (mentioned above) which has still links leading to it. So now those links became red, although the article contents is still available on Wikipedia.
Great work, mister admin... --CiaPan (talk) 13:56, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Your right - i was mostly busy performing a history split for the first question and figured i'd have a look at the second one after i was done. Since it initially looked like the ye-regular page rename a day after the page was created i ended up cleaning the redirect without remembering to check for backlinks first. Stupid, but thankfully relatively harmless and easily fixed by restoring the page (Done now). That said - Was that second line really required to get the message across? Errare humanum est and such.

Re: Bow types

Hi CiaPan,

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. To be honest I made this image a very long time ago and don't remember, but the page history should have the raster image that it is based on, so I'll check that.

Re: Lexalytics Logo

Hi CianPan!

You responded to me a few weeks ago regarding a logo needed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexalytics. I'm very sorry for not getting back you sooner, I'm still learning how to interact on Wikipedia. I appreciate your patience. You recommended a logo pulled from http://www.lexalytics.com/search/node/logo. That's a great source! The first hit, "1. Lexalytics Logo for White Background," would work perfectly. I am a bit confused however, as it seems my request has been canceled. I of course understand this, as I took so long to respond. Is there someway I can still make this work? Can you still help me upload this logo onto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexalytics? Thank you so much for your time. I hope you're well!

Robert Israel and Klein bottle

Yes, that may be him, but we need a reliable source that 1) connects him to the content; and 2) gives some indication that it's worth mentioning in the article. --Macrakis (talk) 13:12, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Spaces in <math>

Re your recent changes to factorial: if adding or removing a space between words or symbols inside <math> makes any difference whatsoever, then something is severely broken. The versions with and without the spaces should produce bit-for-bit identical results. The only place that a space character should change anything inside <math> is immediately after a backslash or inside the name of a backslashed command like \sin. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:25, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Čech homology and cohomology

Witaj Panie Cia! :-)

Teoria homologii (dla dowolnej kategorii przestrzeni topologicznych), gdy użyta jest w swobodnym tekście, to oznacza teorię homologii + teorię cohomologii - chodzą one parami. Często geometryczni toplogowie wolą teorię homologii (przy tym raczej singularną), bo jest dla nich intuicyjniejsza. W przypadku dowolnych przestrzeni zwartych często używa się teorii Čecha. Wtedy homologie i cohomologie są równoważne (dzięki dwoistości Pontriagina), ale elegantsza jest teoria cohomologii (jest dokładna).

W moim rozszerzeniu teorii kształtu na dowolne przestrzenie zwarte, pokazałem z miejsca, że homologia i cohomologia Čecha była niezmiennikiem kształtu (co oznacza więcej, niż bycie niezmiennikiem homotopii). To się pojawiło w mojej teorii machinalnie.

Serdecznie,

en.wikipedia: Jan Jaworowski

Już po śmierci profesora Jana Jaworowskiego, gdy się dowiedziałem, to postanowiłem tego pięknegoi i niezwykle skromnego człowieka uczcić wpisem na polskiej wikipedii. Łatwiej mi by było na angielskiej, ale zależało mi na polskiej. Jak zwykle, wymagało to niestety całej batalii (być może pomogłeś? Ktoś wreszcie na pl.wikipedii pomógł). Miałem nadzieję, że Jan jakoś sam przewędruje z polskiej wikipedii na angielską. Jednak ostatnio zobaczyłem, że nie ma go w spisie matematyków polskich na en.wikipedii, więc sam go dodałem. Więcej pomóc nie potrafię. Być może przynajmniej jakiś brakujący drobiazg da się przemieść z wiki polskiej.

Mnie nie ma co straszyć usunięciem artykułu - to bzdura. Wlod (talk) 09:54, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Martin Gilbert picture

Thank you for what you did with the Martin Gilbert picture.

However it seems I acted too quickly. The new picture was not uploaded with proper copyright information, and I have restored the old one. So now the article has two copies of the same picture.

THANKS!

Thank you for your explanation to my question. I could not figure out how to make the corrections by choosing "edit" in the References section. All I saw was the "reflist" item. Quite frankly, clicking on the "help" link took me to somewhere that was a bit overwhelming as I did not easily see the answer I sought.

RE: quicksort

Thanks, you are correct. What I meant is like "do j=j-1; until A[j]<=pivot", they both are identical, I think this one may make the value range of A[j] more clear after the loop is finished. Lizheng02 (talk) 19:38, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Representation of numbers in binary

That's a very good represetation.Could you also represent the number 1101₂ in binary as you have done earlier with 10₂^11₂.I'm still confused with representing numbers in binary.JUSTIN JOHNS (talk) 08:18, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for showing how to expand 1101 in binary as 1000₂ + 100₂ + 1₂ = 10₂³ + 10₂² + 10₂⁰.This is what I needed.I thought that we couldn't expand a bianry number(1101) in binary eventhough we could expand a decimal number(112) in decimal as 1*10^2 + 1*10^1 + 2*10^0.Now I'm confident that we could expand 1101₂ in binary itself.JUSTIN JOHNS (talk) 06:25, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Could you tell why I'm not familiar with binary system.Binary system includes only 0 and 1 and while you do an addition with 0 and 1 you get 1 and with 1 and 1 you get 10.Could you tell whether I need to know anything other than this about binary system.JUSTIN JOHNS (talk) 07:33, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Paper soccer

Polish language is my native :P. Typo there are but anyhow I don't know which date I have to include. Date of acsess into PLwiki? or date of acsess into ENwiki? Dawid2009 (talk) 10:51, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Based on your informed I think that access date = last actualised data of any source. The cause includes also articles from wiki ([2]). Do I right think? Dawid2009 (talk) 21:40, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I see, that you still help me at my sandbox.
