You can blame me for sour grapes if you ever decide to dislike me. ;) Drooooool. Thank you for putting me straight.  Even if there was something to what I wrote (I'm fairly sure I didn't invent it), that wasn't where it needed to come out. --VKokielov 22:00, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

WP CS
Welcome to WikiProject Computer science! It's great to have someone with your background joining us. --Allan McInnes 00:17, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I should have, uh...
How did that thing stay alive for a year?!

Anyway, you should have nominated it sooner, or - much better - beat me over the head with something until I had. --VKokielov 20:48, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Women in Red World Contest
Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Both Tonelli-Shanks and Cipolla's modular square root algorithms can handle powers of prime modula (not just primes)
I looked up Dickson's History of Numbers vol 1 p215(Tonelli) and p218(Cipolla) and Dickson clearly shows that both modular square root algorithms can handle powers of prime modula (whereas the Wiki articles say they can only do prime modula).

I've updated the TALK pages of both articles with the relevant Dickson math, along with numeric runthroughs with Mathematica code.

However, I am not a professional mathematician so I hesitate to update the articles.

Perhaps yourself, or someone else in the Computer science field could update the relevant articles with this information from Dickson.

The articles in question are:


 * Tonelli–Shanks algorithm


 * Cipolla's algorithm
