You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'll have to check out Reviewing process: see what this is all about.  08:29, 26 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, so I see an Accept button, and there is a greyed-out Unaccept button, which means that I can't Unaccept, though I can revert vandalism that has already occurred by making a corrective edit and then Accepting my own edit... so maybe I'm beginning to understand how this works... 08:53, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Quarter-comma meantone construction
Hi AugPi, I discovered from the revision history of Meantone temperament, that you are the author of the sections "Construction of the diatonic scale", and "Construction of the chromatic scale", that have been moved later to a separate article: Quarter-comma meantone (see here and here). I have been editing the article, and I was wondering if you could help me to fully understand your rationale, so that I can respect your decisions as much as possible.

You selected a scale starting from C (i.e., what I would call a "C-based" scale), which cannot be built from a "symmetric" C-based stack of fifths (where "symmetric" means with the base note C at its center):


 * C-based symmetric: G♭&mdash;D♭&mdash;A♭&mdash;E♭&mdash;B♭&mdash;F&mdash;C&mdash;G&mdash;D&mdash;A&mdash;E&mdash;B&mdash;F♯

It can only be built from this "asymmetric" C-based stack of fifths (with C out of center):


 * C-based asymmetric: A♭&mdash;E♭&mdash;B♭&mdash;F&mdash;C&mdash;G&mdash;D&mdash;A&mdash;E&mdash;B&mdash;F♯&mdash;C♯&mdash;G♯



I am explaining this because using an asymmetric stack has important drawbacks: for instance, one of the intervals in your scale (C-G♯) is a "wolf" minor sixth, severely out-of tune (by about 41 cents from its just intonation)! And another interval (C-C♯) is a minor second the size of which is not frequently observed in the other 11 minor seconds starting from the other notes of the same scale. You can see this in my table on the right, which shows all the intervals which can be built from your C-based asymmetric scale. By the way, the minor sixth is the inversion of the major third, so in quarter-comma meantone, the very purpose of which is to provide justly intonated major thirds, the minor sixth is supposed to be justly intonated as well.

A symmetric scale, on the other hand, would not have these drawbacks. In my table, for instance, the scale starting from D can be obtained from a symmetric stack of fifths, centered at D:


 * D-based symmetric: A♭&mdash;E♭&mdash;B♭&mdash;F&mdash;C&mdash;G&mdash;D&mdash;A&mdash;E&mdash;B&mdash;F♯&mdash;C♯&mdash;G♯

And you can see that it contains no wolfs, provides a justly intonated minor sixth, and is the only scale which contains ALL the most often observed intervals. Of course, a C-based symmetric scale would also be ok (not shown in my table). So, I would suggest either
 * 1. A D-based symmetric scale
 * 2. A C-based symmetric scale

This article, however, shows:
 * 3. A C-based asymmetric scale (see here)

Were you aware of these drawbacks? Would you support my suggestion?

A quick question
Hi there, I have just finished wikifying an article you created (Kinetic momentum). You obviously have a lot more knowledge on the subject than i which is why i just wanted to double check one of my wikilinks with you. I did try to speak to the author of that particular edit but turns out he's been de-admin'ed and banned and you were the next best person to ask. Anyway the use of the word "extremizing", I dont have a clue what this means when talking equations despite trying to find out. The only thing i could find that was possibly correct was Maxima and minima. As i said above this level of mathematics etc is way beyond my understanding. If this is incorrect, please let me know. Thanks  B a i l o 26  21:36, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * That is basically correct, though a link to calculus of variations would be more to the point, especially since the calculus of variations article has a section on the Euler-Lagrange equation, which is used in the derivation of Hamiltonian mechanics/Hamilton's equations of motion. 13:40, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Excellent, thanks for your help  B a i l o 26  16:34, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

File:BoysSurfaceTopView.PNG
I like your image of Boy's surface. (File:BoysSurfaceTopView.PNG) Which parameterization is it? I am concerned that articles contradict each other at the moment - at Boy's surface it says that it is the Bryant-Kusner parameterization, whereas at Bernard Morin it says it is the Morin one. Thanks in advance for clarifying this matter. RupertMillard (Talk) 03:12, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It is the Bryant-Kusner. 15:16, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. And thanks for sorting out the Bernard Morin article. I think the animation that you tried to insert was static because of the way MediaWiki resizes GIF files. I've put it back in, but it's arguably a little too big now. RupertMillard (Talk) 16:14, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of André Warusfel


The article André Warusfel has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. &#32; The nominator also raised the following concern:
 * All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. SwisterTwister  talk  17:20, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Move example LR parser in Prolog
Hi, I request that you please move the example LR parser (coded in Prolog) from the main LR parser article to some separate specialty article. See talk notes there for reasons. Thanks! DBSand (talk) 21:23, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! When you've set up the Prolog example in its own home, please add a See Also link to it from the main LR article. You may need to have a local copy of the grammar and associated parse table that the Prolog implements, in case that grammar & table evolves in the main article.

Proposed deletion of Kummer ring


The article Kummer ring has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "First, the term 'Kummer ring' is not commonly used for this ring, which would more commonly be called a cyclotomic ring. The article does cite one undergraduate textbook originally published in 1967 whose author seems to have invented the term; it's not clear that the term has been substantially used outside that one book. In fact, a search in MathSciNet for 'Kummer ring' in the Anywhere field turns up three articles, each of which uses the term in a sense that is different from the one here; because of this, 'Kummer ring' should not become a redirect either - it should simply be deleted. Second, what mathematical content is here has been improved and incorporated into Cyclotomic field. Third, I pinged the three main contributors; only one responded, and that contributor agrees that there is no real content here; see the Talk page."
