Monad (category theory)[edit]

Hello, I noticed your edit on Monad (category theory), and I'm sorry to hear that you've not found a satisfactory route into that work. If you want to understand monads in functional programming from the mathematical perspective, you could start with the "notions of computation" articles by Eugenio Moggi, and the subsequent work of Phil Wadler. (Contrary to your assertion, it is very rigorous.) Sam Staton (talk) 11:55, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. To insert an opinion into the article Monad (category theory), it is not sufficient that you be an expert with an opinion. The neutral point of view policy requires that we attribute that opinion to somebody. "Some mathematicians are not convinced" is weaselly, since it does not say which mathematicians are not convinced. If you have published your claim in a reliable source, or if someone else has published essentially the same claim, then by all means add it with an appropriate reference.

Dear Wikidsp,

All the above things apply if You want to insert things into the body of the article itself. But You can add Your concerns also to the talk page of the article (Talk:Monad (category theory)). In this case, the problems will be discussed by the other editors, and the argumentations can be expressed in details. You can express also personal feelings on the talk page.

As for me, I learnt about monads while learning Haskell programming language. You can see their homepage, there are materials about monads. I have not yet grasped all about monads from the theoretical side, but I can used them at my job.

Best wishes,

Context[edit]

I think the phrase

In category theory,

does not acquaint the lay reader with the fact that mathematics is what the article is about. Please see my recent edit to your new article.

(Also, I changed the initial "C" in "Category theory" to lower case for reasons that I expect are obvious.) Michael Hardy (talk) 22:25, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To be a bit more informative: I think "In number theory" or "In algebra" or "In geometry", etc., is fine, since the lay reader will understand that that's mathematics, and when the article's title already makes it clear that it's mathematics (e.g. Mathematical induction or Space (mathematics)) then there is no need for such a context-setting phrase.

Additions to limits[edit]

You may want to see the comments that I've added to limit (category theory) regarding your recent additions. Deacon Vorbis (talk) 15:54, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Design envelope[edit]

Hello Wikidsp,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username WikiAviator and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Design envelope for deletion, because the article appears to be about something that you or someone you know personally invented, coined, or discovered, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important-enough and/or recognized-enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|WikiAviator}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Topos Institute moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Topos Institute, is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, has suitable content and thus is ready for mainspace, click the Submit the draft for review! button atop the article.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Wikidsp. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page David Spivak, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — MarkH₂₁^talk 11:29, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

July 2023[edit]

Hi Wikidsp! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. — MarkH₂₁^talk 11:30, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Topos Institute[edit]

Hello, Wikidsp. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Topos Institute, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 08:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Topos Institute[edit]

Hello, Wikidsp. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Topos Institute".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
