User talk:官翁/Draft for a general formula for the meridian arc length

I have just re-read the About and I feel that some wiki editor may come along and simply remove the whole of the "General" section on the grounds that it is (a) original work, or (b) not verifiable in established work, (c) a sole reference to a paper in Japanese is not sufficient for the English wiki. Do give serious consideration to these matters. Note also that wiki prefers secondary sources rather than primary sources.

You have not denied that you are the author Kawase. If you are, then reread the above comments again.

If you wish, disregard the above comments, and use your draft of this section although the first seven lines might suffice. (Upto "The first result is for Bessel's . ."). The details which follow should really be in a referenced English publication. I shall not restrucure the whole section if you insist on putting it in.

Note that phrases like "well known" are completely unacceptable. To whom is it "well known"?
