Kandidat degree
Mathematics Genealogy Project contains errors about this her degree. I submitted corrections. They say the review can take up to 1 month. - Altenmann >talk 07:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * This is related to your change to the article text from 1999 to 1998, I suppose? —David Eppstein (talk) 16:09, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, also the translation of the Kandidat thesis title and math subject class. In MGP I guess the class was copied from Ph.D. thesis, but the Kandidat thesis was from completely different math area. Thge Russian code was 5.3.17, which was rather arbitrary as well, since her Kandidat thesis is within queuing theory, specifically it is about some algorithms for traffic light control. - Altenmann >talk 16:20, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Queueing theory is 60K25, 68M20, or 90B22, so classifying it as 60 seems ok to me, although maybe 90 would be possible. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:32, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I suggested 68, but I wrote an explanation, so I guess they will make a suitable decision. - Altenmann >talk 19:32, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Could you please import nl:Ius promovendi into enwiki (and then you may wikilink the term). - Altenmann >talk 20:57, 20 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Done, ius promovendi. (I don't think we need to link it from this article, though.) —David Eppstein (talk) 21:03, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that the term "promioted" must be wikilinked, because I suspect it will be confusing not only to me, because in the US there are advisors for PhD not promotors - Altenmann >talk 21:46, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
