However, your attempts to de-orphan Near set are faulty. None of the articles or concepts you've selected are related to it, and adding Easter eggs in the #See also section is considered inappropriate per our style guides. Perhaps some of the Fuzzy set articles might be appropriate. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Near set[edit]

I would like the title of the page I created changed back to "Near Sets." Near sets theory is based on comparing the similarity of two or more sets of objects based on features that describe the objects. Since one is always dealing with multiple sets of objects the title of the page should stand as "Near Sets" which agrees with all published literature on the subject.

OK, I think I'm starting to see, or at least suspect, what you mean. You're saying two sets can be close to each other and are therefore "near sets", but with only one set it's meaningless to speak of it's being close to something. Is that what you meant? Michael Hardy (talk) 00:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, exactly. Sets can be near each other in some degree depending on the objects in the sets and the method used to describe them. A single set can be near itself, but this case is trivial. Incidentally, there is a discussion started at WT:MATH. It has been very helpful and will lead to a clarification of the Near Sets page. (NearSetAccount (talk) 17:05, 22 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

A tip![edit]

I can see you're using your userpage as an article draft. That's good, but probably tiresome, and you have to give up your userspace for it. That's why I shall now hand you a helpful tip, like a pile of coins in a coffee shop that likes to make money! Regardez!

You can create subpages in your user space! Simply type in a redlink to find the page you want to create, and go! For instance, if you edit this page and type [[User:NearSetAccount/Near set]], you will end up with a link to User:NearSetAccount/Near set, an area in your userspace that belongs to you, and you don't have to devote your userpage to it. This can be really useful, I have a couple sandboxes where I can work on new articles uninterrupted: User:A little insignificant/sandbox1.

Also, I'm not familiar with your contributions or who you are so this may just be a random guess, but using the above method you don't have to create lots of different accounts for working on pages (if that's what you've been doing). You can just have one account and make subpages. A little insignificant ^{Help, it's almost Halloween! AAH!} 15:54, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks A little insignificant. I really appreciate the tip! I will definitely do as you suggest. And yes, I did create this account just for creating/editing the Near sets article. Now I see that I did not have to. NearSetAccount (talk) 16:19, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
