Lower case pandas at start of sentence

 * 1) If a name that begins with a lowercase letter begins a sentence, then it should be capitalized.
 * 2) Do not begin a sentence with a lowercase statistical term (e.g., t test or p value), a lowercase abbreviation (e.g., lb), or a symbol that stands alone (e.g., α).


 * I agree with your rewording, thanks. But please read Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters. To quote (my emphasis):
 * In contexts where the case of symbols is significant, like those related to programming languages, mathematical notation (for example, the mathematical constant e is not equivalent to E), or the names of units of physical quantities or their symbols, the correct case should always be retained, even in situations where normal rules would require capitalization, such as at the beginning of a sentence.
 * The APAstyle reference is interesting, but disagrees with the wikipedia MOS.
 * Also note to sign your name it is three tildes.

Here "Panda styled as panda" should be used. There is no difference between Panda and panda. 46.39.125.176 (talk) 11:12, 31 December 2021 (UTC) Note: To date your comment use four tildes instead of three.

SQL file format?
Dataframes section talks about "various file formats such as ... SQL". Is there an SQL file format? If the statement refers to the format of files holding SQL statements, then that's just plain text format. If it refers to something else, then that sentence should be rewritten to clarify what that is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.14.9.198 (talk) 07:18, 11 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I've reworded it, based on function read_sql. peterl (talk) 12:53, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Extensions: GeoPandas
The GeoPandas project adds geographic dimensions for mapping.

"GeoPandas is an open source project to make working with geospatial data in python easier. GeoPandas extends the datatypes used by pandas to allow spatial operations on geometric types. Geometric operations are performed by shapely. Geopandas further depends on fiona for file access and matplotlib for plotting." https://geopandas.org/en/stable/ Jim.Callahan,Orlando (talk) 15:40, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
