Hello, Jitse Niesen! Thank you for your support in my recent successful request for adminship. If you ever have problems that you could use my assistance with or see me doing stupid things with my new buttons, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 02:37, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Jitse, Smári here from the icelandic Wikipedia. I'm wondering how you arrive at the number of math articles in Wikipedia? Did you count, or is there some automated script you're using to keep track? If so, could I procure it? Please reply on my Icelandic talk page - I see it more often than this one. -- Smári McCarthy 10:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, you reverted my edit on the Speed of Light article. I agree its not a big addition, but none the less a small attribute to the completeness of it. I did not find any other suitable place to position it, thats why i added it in there, to keep it close to other data that has relevance. Please add it somewhere in the article, in a more appropriate place. I was looking for this information for a long time before i found it and would not want others to search the same futuile way as i did. Thanks. -- Simon Moon
Hi! :) Yes, we do indeed play! Not many of us, though. Check out Victorian Women's Football League - it's been around for 25 years and is the largest in Australia (and the world ;)). There are smaller leagues in most of the states now, as well as a state of origin competition (in which Victoria invariably thrashes everyone else). It's great! :)
To the topic at hand - indeed no one has offered, that would be fantastic. The main thing I have thought of is making it easier to automatically tag images for (speedy)/deletion. User:Jnothman has written a useful 'Nominate this article for AfD' script which is what makes me think it must be possible.
So what I would like, is for any page in the Image: namespace, a link in the toolbox (or a tab, but Commons has an extra 3 tabs, so it's getting a bit crowded) saying 'Nominate for deletion' and 'Nominate for speedy deletion'. This is what each script should do:
They're my main ideas. :) What do you think?

The article Multiplicity is not just about multisets. It also and mostly talks about the multiplicity of roots of a function. So it should not just be in the Category:Set theory. It should be in another category as well. I guessed that it should be in Category:Numerical analysis. If I was wrong, then what other category would you put it in? JRSpriggs 06:04, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

You have not merged Finding multiple roots into Root-finding algorithm. Nor have you indicated that you changed your mind about wanting the merger on account of the lack of references. If you would like me to do the merger, please so indicate and then I will do it. However, it seems longer now than the comparable portions of the existing main article.

It might be nice to have a separate page on the topic of cubature, or higher-dimensional numerical integration. I'm suggesting this for a somewhat self-interested reason, namely that I have made progress on some old questions in polynomial interpolatory cubature. (You can find my papers on this with an arXiv search, if you're interested.) Polynomial interpolatory cubature is a bit out of fashion these days, but I'm not sure that that is so for any good reason. It could be out of fashion because it has not been competitive with other methods in some regimes. If so, new constructions such as the ones that I found may eventually change that.
In any case a good cubature page would review both interpolatory and non-interpolatory methods.

Hi there. Nice to meet you Jitse. I'm only a beginning pHd student, but I have written some statistical mechanics models articles, which you can see on my userpage.

There is a very long-standing situation at Acharya S, and Talk:Acharya S, which might be close to resolved in terms of article content. However I have applied to an IP number editor (el Lobo) a block which is being examined critically at WP:AN, with endless claims I must be biased. The 'el Lobo' editor is back repeating claims against me on Talk:Acharya S, editing from another IP number. Well, I say this is now simply trolling, as well as block evasion. I do need someone else to act there, though; and I thought of you this time :-) (Oleg has protected the page, in the past). I'd be grateful if you could intervene; but I have to warn you that this is a 'tarbaby' situation. Charles Matthews 10:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I programmed and tested the script for archiving WP:AfC following your specifications. It is ready to go. However, a short look at the page leads me to wonder whether there is any established editor watching that page and creating articles. In fact, an anon asked the same question on the talk page yesterday.
So, what do you want me to do? If you say so, I can activate the script immediately, but that doesn't seem a good idea if the page is basically dead. Just to confirm: everybody on Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Today should be archived, even the proposed articles that nobody has looked into yet? -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 11:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Dear Jitse,
Yesterday I submitted a 'softened' amendment of Egyptian math to Wikpedia, citing the necessary references, with only minimal data citing the remainder arithmetic appearance in several hieratic texts. A rejection by Wikipedia reviewer quicky took place, indicating that zero references had been submitted. Can't the reviewer read?
I look forwards to your action in this area, allowing bona fide references to be placed on Wikipedia so that a 'open' proper debate can take place. I know that Wikipedia has a policy that allows debates of the nature that is being requested, so please think through your position and formally respond in the next couple of weeks setting up such a Wikipedia debate - pitting secondary references (your current situation) against primary and secondary references (my position).
Best Regards,
Milo Gardner
Dear Jitse,
Thank you for commenting so quickly on Egyptian remainder arithmetic. Had you taken the time to look on PlanetMath you would have found three other discussions:
Egyptian Fractions, Remainder Arithmetic vs Egyptian fractions, Hultsch-Bruins
Reading those documents may educate you on the real issues that 4,000 year old scribes struggled.
A summary of Egyptian fractions is being prepared on
http://historyofegyptianfractions.blogspot.com
a site where several sources outside of my own writings will be linked.
If you desire a private conversion, please email

I mostly liked the idea of using a Parsing expression grammar because you can generate a packrat parser from it, and the performance of the latter would appear to give us an advantage if you believe our article. Basically the parser can run in linear time at the expense of some memory: storage is a constant multiple of the input text. Given that we are in the position of being able to limit the size of the input text to a reasonable limit, not to mention throw almost any amount of memory at the job if it can run fast enough, this would seem to be a good deal.

The term diktyology is an alternative denomination of network theory that covers a broader definitorial space. The world is taken from the french and german nouns "Diktyologie" for the same concept.

Hi Jitse. Per a very old request, I added the feature you requested, see [1]. It shows entries in given list which are not in categories meant to form the base of the list.
I guess it is half a year after you requested that feature. Part of the delay was that I got involved in other things (scripting for WP:MST took unbelivable more time than one may think, primarily because of developing some heuristics and tricks to deal with incomplete and upper case Mathworld entries — Great Stellated Trunca... anybody?). Another reason is that I am still learning to write clean code, and adding new features to awufully written scripts is not for the faint of the heart. But either way, request completed! :) Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 04:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jitse. I jumped the gun a little bit and archived a tad early, about 90 minutes before your bot was scheduled to do it. The fault was mine in that I read the clock wrong. Therefore, your bot will probably fail today. I apologize about that. -- ShinmaWa( talk) 22:34, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm a newbie to the mailing list, I wonder if you can answer me this question. I think I will post a follow-up to my first mail after a while. However, because I submitted the first mail at about the same time I registered, I never received the mail in my inbox. I presume that if I just draft another mail with the same subject line rather than using the reply-to of my mail client, it won't land in the same thread due to header mismatch. Is this the case? Is there anyway I can redownload the message so that I can reply to the thread appropriately? And do you agree that if, after a few days, no one's replied, another mail would be reasonable? - lethe talk + 12:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jitse. I got that blurb about Cauchy surfaces from http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/john/gr3/gr36.pdf page 215, though slighty reworded it so as to not just be a blank copy and paste (I know of the notes because I attended Stewart's lecture course last Autumn). Stewart has a book "Advanced General Relativity" which reflect a lot of those notes in a more concise form but doesn't contain anything about the definition of a Cauchy surface, it is assumed in the one place it is mentioned. Wald covers it properly if memory serves but I don't have a copy to hand at the moment but will do once I return home from uni in the next week or so. As it quite obvious, I'm new to this so still getting a feel for it.
Turns out I've found a better explaination in old notes Peter Townsend put on ArXiv. Your definition is the short succinct way of defining the surface. The way I added is more of an explaination of how to get your definition by the looks of it. -- AlphaNumeric 21:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I did not find an explanation of how to do the merger, but I went ahead and did it anyway a couple days ago, as you probably already noticed. I made the old article into a redirect to the new one. JRSpriggs 06:28, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for editing on this article. If you've got the time you might want to add it to your Watchlist (if you use that) as this article is in serious need of more editors (particularly ones who can instill NPOV in it). Thanks again. Netscott 06:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
It might be nice to have a separate page on the topic of cubature, or higher-dimensional numerical integration. I'm suggesting this for a somewhat self-interested reason, namely that I have made progress on some old questions in polynomial interpolatory cubature. (You can find my papers on this with an arXiv search, if you're interested.) Polynomial interpolatory cubature is a bit out of fashion these days, but I'm not sure that that is so for any good reason. It could be out of fashion because it has not been competitive with other methods in some regimes. If so, new constructions such as the ones that I found may eventually change that.
In any case a good cubature page would review both interpolatory and non-interpolatory methods.

Hi there. Nice to meet you Jitse. I'm only a beginning pHd student, but I have written some statistical mechanics models articles, which you can see on my userpage. I need to go now, but have printed out the article and will have a look. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! - review me 08:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC).
There is a very long-standing situation at Acharya S, and Talk:Acharya S, which might be close to resolved in terms of article content. However I have applied to an IP number editor (el Lobo) a block which is being examined critically at WP:AN, with endless claims I must be biased. The 'el Lobo' editor is back repeating claims against me on Talk:Acharya S, editing from another IP number. Well, I say this is now simply trolling, as well as block evasion. I do need someone else to act there, though; and I thought of you this time :-) (Oleg has protected the page, in the past). I'd be grateful if you could intervene; but I have to warn you that this is a 'tarbaby' situation. Charles Matthews 10:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I programmed and tested the script for archiving WP:AfC following your specifications. It is ready to go. However, a short look at the page leads me to wonder whether there is any established editor watching that page and creating articles. In fact, an anon asked the same question on the talk page yesterday.
So, what do you want me to do? If you say so, I can activate the script immediately, but that doesn't seem a good idea if the page is basically dead. Just to confirm: everybody on Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Today should be archived, even the proposed articles that nobody has looked into yet? -- Jitse Niesen ( talk) 11:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
There is an image in the article on Newton's method which is supposed to show basins of attraction, but instead shows a Hindu god. I have no idea how to fix it. JRSpriggs 03:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, control-shift-R worked. Now I am seeing the basins. JRSpriggs 05:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Not a problem. I wasn't aware of the other template's existence, otherwise I would have used it. Thanks. -- cholmes75 ( chit chat) 13:01, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Dear Jitse,
Yesterday I submitted a 'softened' amendment of Egyptian math to Wikpedia, citing the necessary references, with only minimal data citing the remainder arithmetic appearance in several hieratic texts. A rejection by Wikipedia reviewer quicky took place, indicating that zero references had been submitted. Can't the reviewer read?
I look forwards to your action in this area, allowing bona fide references to be placed on Wikipedia so that a 'open' proper debate can take place. I know that Wikipedia has a policy that allows debates of the nature that is being requested, so please think through your position and formally respond in the next couple of weeks setting up such a Wikipedia debate - pitting secondary references (your current situation) against primary and secondary references (my position).
Best Regards,
Milo Gardner
Dear Jitse,
Thank you for commenting so quickly on Egyptian remainder arithmetic. Had you taken the time to look on PlanetMath you would have found three other discussions:
Egyptian Fractions, Remainder Arithmetic vs Egyptian fractions, Hultsch-Bruins
Reading those documents may educate you on the real issues that 4,000 year old scribes struggled.
A summary of Egyptian fractions is being prepared on
http://historyofegyptianfractions.blogspot.com
a site where several sources outside of my own writings will be linked.
If you desire a private conversion, please email

Best Regards,

Ah, thats most irritating. Thanks for pointing out my messed up rvv. I could have sworn that I looked at the history before doing the revert, but looking at it now it seems I didn't.

I mostly liked the idea of using a Parsing expression grammar because you can generate a packrat parser from it, and the performance of the latter would appear to give us an advantage if you believe our article. Basically the parser can run in linear time at the expense of some memory: storage is a constant multiple of the input text. Given that we are in the position of being able to limit the size of the input text to a reasonable limit, not to mention throw almost any amount of memory at the job if it can run fast enough, this would seem to be a good deal.

File:Atlanticpuffin4.jpg | Hello Jitse Niesen. Thank you for your support at request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. Thanks for having a look at the maths AfDs on my articles (a relief), and naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out and I look forward to working with you in the future, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 06:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC) |
Hello... any chance you're up for a small bit of JS debugging? :) -- pfctdayelise ( translate?) 15:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing me to m:Alternative parsers. I think what I want is a Flex/Bison combination (lexer and parser). It seems that flexbisonparse would do precisely what I need. The link is not working, however, and I could not find it by a manual search on sourceforge either. Where can I get a lexer/parser for Wikipedia markup? - Zahlentheorie 16:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and given you approval to keep running it, thanks, the bot looks great :) -- Tawker 06:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the trust that you had in me when you supported my Request for Adminship. The nomination ended successfully and I am actually overwhelmed by the support that I received. Thanks again! -- Kim van der Linde at venus 06:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
The term diktyology is an alternative denomination of network theory that covers a broader definitorial space. The world is taken from the french and german nouns "Diktyologie" for the same concept. Due to the broader meaning of the word in the context of cybernetics and systems science I suggest keeping this article. -- Jwdietrich2 17:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I think the evidence of rape is very important. However, in order to avoid chaos with this topic, I will compromise by agreeing not to insert that repetition again.
Hi Jitse. Per a very old request, I added the feature you requested, see [1]. It shows entries in given list which are not in categories meant to form the base of the list.
I guess it is half a year after you requested that feature. Part of the delay was that I got involved in other things (scripting for WP:MST took unbelivable more time than one may think, primarily because of developing some heuristics and tricks to deal with incomplete and upper case Mathworld entries — Great Stellated Trunca... anybody?). Another reason is that I am still learning to write clean code, and adding new features to awufully written scripts is not for the faint of the heart. But either way, request completed! :) Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 04:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jitse. I jumped the gun a little bit and archived a tad early, about 90 minutes before your bot was scheduled to do it. The fault was mine in that I read the clock wrong. Therefore, your bot will probably fail today. I apologize about that. -- ShinmaWa( talk) 22:34, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm a newbie to the mailing list, I wonder if you can answer me this question. I think I will post a follow-up to my first mail after a while. However, because I submitted the first mail at about the same time I registered, I never received the mail in my inbox. I presume that if I just draft another mail with the same subject line rather than using the reply-to of my mail client, it won't land in the same thread due to header mismatch. Is this the case? Is there anyway I can redownload the message so that I can reply to the thread appropriately? And do you agree that if, after a few days, no one's replied, another mail would be reasonable? - lethe talk + 12:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jitse. I got that blurb about Cauchy surfaces from http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/john/gr3/gr36.pdf page 215, though slighty reworded it so as to not just be a blank copy and paste (I know of the notes because I attended Stewart's lecture course last Autumn). Stewart has a book "Advanced General Relativity" which reflect a lot of those notes in a more concise form but doesn't contain anything about the definition of a Cauchy surface, it is assumed in the one place it is mentioned. Wald covers it properly if memory serves but I don't have a copy to hand at the moment but will do once I return home from uni in the next week or so. As it quite obvious, I'm new to this so still getting a feel for it.
Turns out I've found a better explaination in old notes Peter Townsend put on ArXiv. Your definition is the short succinct way of defining the surface. The way I added is more of an explaination of how to get your definition by the looks of it. -- AlphaNumeric 21:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Dear Jitse,
Many thanks for the help in editing wiki-papers. Obviously, my English is not perfect. Moreover, your help was rather pertinent and indispensable. I understand, that you are very busy. And nevertheless I'd like to address to you with the request of the same sort.
On July, 30th I leave for Paris on Conference IPMU-2006, where I have the session E22 on eventology.
Would you be so kind to find a spare minute and examine preambles of two wiki-papers from the point of view of your excellent English style?:
Thank you in advance:) - Helgus 04:26, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I just reverted my edits. The whole article seems to be very basic. I was trying to give more of a bigger picture, but I only get a little bit of time on a good computer for this kind of stuff. The main thing I liked was the statement that got of the theorem from "Report on Wiles' Cambridge lectures" in pdf form from AMS. Timothy Clemans 03:47, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
