VisualEditor’s special character inserter has been re-designed. The old “floating box” version will be replaced by the new, full-width design on Wednesday, 11 March – unless editors decide that they prefer the old one in time for it to be yanked out of the deployment train. This affects only VisualEditor. If you'd like to see the new design, then please click here to open the Sandbox at mediawiki.org. Leave your feedback at the VisualEditor/Feedback page on mediawiki.org.
I wanted to get this to you as soon as possible, so that anyone who is interested would have as much time as possible to think about the general concept. There are a few known problems that you'll want to keep in mind:
The devs need a wide variety of feedback, but the main question is whether this general concept is better than the original concept. Please post your comments at mediawiki.org, where the devs will see them sooner. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 19:26, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps someone here can contribute to the factual-accuracy issue I raised at Talk:Apeirotope. Michael Hardy ( talk) 19:22, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Before I think about trying to merge them, I thought I should check: is there any reason that these are two separate articles? -- JBL ( talk) 14:23, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
Could anyone weigh in at Talk:Hilbert transform regarding LaTeX versus HTML issues? I'm not sure what our current recommendation is regarding inline mathematics (presumably {{ math}}). It seems like Hilbert transform has made something of an effort to avoid rendering inline PNG images, and now someone wants to change that. Sławomir Biały ( talk) 12:46, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

In general, Foo's Theorem or Bar's Constant should contain a link to the Mathematician (Foo or Bar) who it is named for, right? Naraht ( talk) 18:24, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
I disagree with D.Lazard about red links. I think:

I do not oppose or support their edits, but we may need to clean up pages so the article structure makes sense. — George8211 / T 10:48, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi at WP:AFC there is a draft called Draft:Generalized Functional Linear Model. To me it looks as if it is a valid topic. But could some here keen on Statistics take a look to see if the content looks valid? Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 06:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
I'd be interested in updating the list found at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mathematics/Wikipedia_1.0/Frequently_viewed/List, which was last edited in 2009. Does anyone know what methods I can use to find the most-viewed mathematics articles as of this year? Brirush ( talk) 18:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
What are our opinions on the template {{ sfrac}}? This produces fractions in html, like a/b. It was recently deployed at Pi. I have two concerns over the use: one is that it enlarges the line spacing between adjacent text lines, which overall is rather unsightly. Secondly, I noticed that in chrome on my mobile, the vinculum is the baseline of the surrounding text, which is much too low, giving inline expressions a very lopsided appearance. My impression was that once upon a time, we recommended against using PNGs that were tall enough to mess with the line spacing. If so, perhaps this template should indicate that it should only be used sparingly inline, if at all. The recent additions of the template at Pi seem rather gratuitous. For instance, 22/7 instead of a perfectly acceptable 22/7. Sławomir Biały ( talk) 21:18, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

16:24, 18 March 2015 (UTC)What should be done with Kernel function for solving integral equation of surface radiation exchanges? I did a bunch of obvious copy-editing, and I hesitate to attempt to write a lead section. If the article ought to exist, a proper lead section should be added.

The article titled Serpentine curve is very short. There must be immensely more one can say about this topic. It is about curves whose equation is

After passing its good article nomination a few weeks ago, I have nominated addition for featured article status. If it goes well, I would like to go through and improve some more of our Top Importance Good Articles and nominate them as featured articles, one at a time. If anyone is interested in helping out, let me know, especially since I have never tried a FA nomination before. Brirush ( talk) 17:41, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
I should mention that it may be helpful for members of the WikiProject Mathematics community to help with the review process (which needs input from many editors), pointing out deficiencies in the article or supporting its nomination. It may be difficult for editors in other areas to work through the abstract algebra sections, for instance. Brirush ( talk) 21:44, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
I've created a new disambiguation page titled Hilbert geometry, listing three items. Perhaps the present company can improve it. Michael Hardy ( talk) 22:03, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Dear mathematicians: There is an extensive article about this mathematician in today's Toronto Star. I have added a citation to his page, but more information from the article could be cited by someone whose math is less rusty. — Anne Delong ( talk) 21:18, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
The {{ Cite arXiv}} template is being updated to be more consistent with other citation templates. This is likely to introduce some red error messages in existing Cite arXiv templates that use unsupported parameters or that should be converted to {{ Cite journal}}.
