Hello, I visit en.wp very seldom, so I leave you discuss this between yourselves : are external links to ( specifically related subpages of) mathcurve appropriate in pages about curves, or not ?

We plan to complete replacing Tidy with a different tool on all wikis by end-June. As part of this, we have identified pages that need some markup fixed. This is exposed by the Linter extension via the Special:LintErrors page. Only linter issues in the high-priority categories need to be addressed. It is sufficient to prioritize articles for now.
One of the linter categories is the
mw:Help:Extension:Linter/html5-misnesting category. You can see the
list of linter issues in the Article namespace here. Of those, there are a subset of issues that primarily affect math and other pages that use math. The effects can be particularly important here as
this example demonstrates. The rendering on the left is what you see on the wiki right now. The rendering on the right is what it will change to when Tidy is replaced. Notice how r kn = kn + 1 has changed to r kn = kn + 1. This is because the quotes are improperly nested in the <sub>
tag and needs to be fixed to reflect the intended rendering.
The edit links
in this listing of article namespace html5-misnesting errors shows you the exact malformed wikitext. My recommendation is to fix pages where the <sub>
and <sup
tags are shown as being misnested. I am also happy to give you a separate list of pages where sub and sup tags are misnested (about ~300 in all). Let me know if you have any questions.

Some of these seem not directly fixable; for example, in
Elias M. Stein, the problem is the following:
{{Infobox scientist|
...
| thesis_title = Linear Operators on L<sup>''p''</sup> Spaces | ... }}
Presumably, what's going on is that the template slaps '' ... '' around the title of the thesis. (And indeed the effect in the infobox there is funny: the p is not italicized.) But it is not clear to me what the "right" way to deal with this is. (There are also examples like
Georgia Benkart, where the problem is the title field in the cite book template.) --

thesis_title = Linear Operators on L''<sup>p</sup>'' Spaces
seems to work. The first '' end the italics, before the <sup> and the second '' starts it again after the </sup> meaning the start and end of italics are not either side of a tag. You can check the new render behaviour by adding action=parsermigration-edit
to the url. E.g.

Hello, there's a proposal to delete all Wikipedia portals. Please see the discussion here. -- NaBUru38 ( talk) 14:00, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
Algebraic Geometry (journal) has been proposed for deletion by Randykitty, one of the regular editors on articles about academic journals. It looks to me like a legitimate new journal, but possibly one that is too new to pass WP:NJournals. Anyway, if you disagree with this proposal (and especially if you can find third-party publications about this journal that might increase its apparent notability) please feel free to unprod. — David Eppstein ( talk) 18:46, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
A move request is ongoing at Talk:Symmetric graph#Requested move 8 April 2018, but it has little participation. Input would be appreciated. Dekimasu よ! 12:42, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
The article Pseudomathematics has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This uncited article is, so far as it goes, largely a piece of original research. The term "pseudomathematics" rarely crops up, and when it does it's used as a short hand way of saying that conventional mathematical techniques have been misused or misapplied. An example would be the backtest overfitting of financial data modelling, where the prefix "pseudo" has the same general meaning as it does in "pseudo-democracy". In other words, there is no field of endeavour called "pseudomathematics".
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi all. There is a dispute at Talk:Proportion that can use attention from the members of the project. —- Taku ( talk) 21:54, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

About " Schröder–Bernstein theorem", [1], [2], [3], I wonder, how do we feel about excluded middle? Should its use be noticed always, or sometimes, or never, or what? Boris Tsirelson ( talk) 11:20, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
I have created a short new article titled Lévy–Steinitz theorem. The theorem states this:
I found that in the List of permutation topics there was no section on rearrangements of series, and I created one, titled Mathematical analysis, which now lists, among other things, this theorem.
I have added links to the new article from the following articles:
I have also created the following redirect pages:
(I haven't yet created redirects with a capital "T"; probably I'll do that soon if no one else does it first.)
So now:
