Talk:Anatole Katok

Sourcing
Thank you for adding some citations,. But I think you were premature in removing the tags I inserted. While some of the "Early life and education" is now sourced, not all of it is. In particular, two other people are named in that paragraph (Yakov Sinai and Svetlana Katok), but neither is mentioned in the CV cited.

Similarly with the next paragraph: the CV confirms that he won the MMS prize in 1967, but supports no other information from it. In any case, information about prizes could be contentious, and should always come from a source which is not self-published.

At present, this article does not appear to be written from the cited published sources, but either from somebody's personal knowledge, or from sources which have not been cited. If the latter, please cite them. If the former, then it should be trimmed to contain only what is in the reliable published sources. --ColinFine (talk) 15:29, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I have already added the citations and corresponding material to the article. For all your concerns, it were contained in the introduction part of book "Modern Dynamical Systems and Applications". In my opinion, I think now the article is written from cited published sources and well organized. --Mathowenw (talk) 17:18, 31 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks, . I haven't got access to that book, but it looks as if the article is much improved. But in future, please don't remove the tags until the problem has been rectified. --ColinFine (talk) 23:57, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks a lot for your nice and warm advice. As I am new for Wikipedia, I am sorry for previous premature behavior, I really learn a lot from you. Thanks a lot! By the way, you can access that book introduction part through Google books. Have a nice day!--Mathowenw (talk) 00:05, 1 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see, . I have added a link to it in the reference. Except for purely web-based resources, URLs are a convenience for the reader, not an essential part of a citation; but a Google Books link is acceptable for this purpose. --ColinFine (talk) 00:22, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks! Now it looks perfect! Thanks a lot!--Mathowenw (talk) 00:33, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
