Mathematics CotW
Hey Cronholm, I am writing you to let you know that the Mathematics Collaboration of the week(soon to "of the month") is getting an overhaul of sorts and I would encourage you to participate in whatever way you can, i.e. nominate an article, contribute to an article, or sign up to be part of the project. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks--Cronholm144 18:23, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * :) As you probably know, I appreciate humourous touches like this on talk pages! Meanwhile I've tried to back up your case for AWB: it is up to Alphachimp now... Geometry guy 18:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much, you were my inspiration;)--Cronholm144 20:39, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * You have done well my son. Compliments from the Eminence grise. Geometry guy 00:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

You are already at C!! I have got my work cut out for me...--Cronholm144 21:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, you might be pleased to know that I have added some class assessments myself as I went along. Bon courage! Geometry guy 21:34, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Should I bring up the variety of divergents I have come across? It seems I made Melchoir a touch angry, but it is an issue that should be dealt with at the WP:M talk page in the near future.--Cronholm144 21:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Patience, young squire. Let us see what a little diplomacy can achieve. Geometry guy 22:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

MathCOTW
Hi Cronholm144, thanks for helping out the MathCOTW. As I'm sure you've noticed I've been slacking in regards to keeping things up to date and probably won't be able to spend much time on it for the near future (grad school). I'm glad to have done my part for a while, but if you or anyone else wants to step up to the plate and baby it for a while, I'd be more than happy to let someone else take charge!

Dont be distracted!
I'm in a sad mood now, but don't be distracted by those who would politicise our work. There are articles to be rated, classes to be assessed, fields to be decided! Once more unto the breach, dear knight! Geometry guy 22:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Take heart in the fact that the maths here at wiki generally avoid this kind of silly conflict and provide a helpful and industrious environment for all concerned, now I am off to that list again...--Cronholm144 22:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Heart taken, thank you. Work well, Squire Cronholm. The project needs you! Geometry guy 23:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, you're doing well on that front. Keep it going, we need consistent prowess over britannia :-) [[Image:Gaim.svg|27px]] ♥♥ ΜÏΠЄSΓRΘΠ€ ♥♥ slurp me! 23:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed, I will wield it with pride.:)--Cronholm144 23:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Minestrone! A fine squire provides a good sword just when it is needed. Geometry guy 23:34, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Oleg has provided us a very valuable resource take a look at the WP:WPM talk page.--Cronholm144 04:14, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Math collaboration
Hi,

thanks for the invitation to the math collaboration. I will be traveling for two months starting next week, and will have limited net connectivity. Also I guess I have slowly drifted away from editing math articles, it is too close to my heart and that makes it too stressful. Anyway, I wish you good luck with your project!

Math CotW
Thanks for invitation, but I am a chaotic contributor ("not a team player", in americanisch). `'mikka 02:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. Please don't forget providing a link to the project page in question in invitations. `'mikka 02:11, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note about MCOTW. I will be traveling for a few days, so I won't be able to participate in any discussion about changing it. I do watch what article is featured and contribute if the article is interesting to me. C Mummert · talk 02:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks to the three of you for the reply! If frequent contribution is not your cup of tea, I understand, but if you ever see an article that might need our help don't hesitate to nominate it. again thanks--Cronholm144 02:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I have already sent them all out, but the link is on my userpage, hopefully that will fix my silly error

Thanks for the invitation to MCOTW, but, strange to say, I do not like to collaborate. I wish you the best of luck with your project, however. -- Dominus 14:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem and thanks for the reply. Feel free to weigh in occasionally if the mood strikes you, it certainly isn't an institution that requires anything but minimal participation.--Cronholm144 14:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Nomination proposal
Hello, thanks for the invitation to participate in the Collaboration project. I would like to nominate the article Geometry, which we fought tooth and nail to protect from vandalizing hordes, for mere two weeks (less time remaining now). It is number four on Oleg's list of most linked math articles, after only Mathematics, Mathematician, and Real number, but, sadly, it's way behind in development relative to the overwhelming majority of basic articles. Arcfrk 07:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Go for it, WP:MATHCOTW after shape, then it will be eligible for votes by other users. thanks for your interest!--Cronholm144 12:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Response to request
I'll do what I can, time is tight around this time of year, but I'll try and stay informed.

License tagging for Image:The Scullery Maid (L'Ecureuse).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:The Scullery Maid (L'Ecureuse).jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

 * Hi C - despite the gallery's attempt to copyright this, it is actually public domain under US law as an exact (hence unoriginal) photographic reproduction of a public domain painting. Geometry guy 08:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh... then I went to all that trouble for nothing... sigh. should I re-tag it?--Cronholm144 08:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Done. Click on the court case link in the tag to see the legal justification. Geometry guy 08:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much, I saw your edit and was changing my reply but you beat me to it(edit conflict) ;)--Cronholm144 08:28, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Calculus
Hi Cronholm. I don't think I can respond to your last question with just edits, so I thought I'll respond with a message this time. Whether Haytham was Arab or Persian is a matter of dispute, so I left it as Iraqi, which is more neutral because it is a geographic region rather than an ethnicity. The two Indian sections cover two different time periods and two different areas within calculus (differentiation and analysis). However, I agree that a nation by nation feel might be better in some ways for a more organized look. Alternatively, we could merge the different cultures together into three paragraphs on the ancient, medieval and modern periods instead. Either way is fine with me. Jagged 85 06:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I will give it some thought and let my edits do the talking this time. ;)--Cronholm144 06:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

...well looks like you beat me to it. I like the changes. :)--Cronholm144 08:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for delay in replying...
... I didn't see your post 'til now.

I haven't got a great deal of time for WP, and what time I have I want to focus on the logic page, so I doubt I'll be doing much in the way of maths FA gnomery. I must confess to being semi-literate in German: my spoken German is pretty solid, but I'm a very slow reader of German. I have done some work in the past trying to bring across some content from de.$WP to here (Wilhelm von Humboldt & trying to counter some neo-nazi POV pushing here), but I've found the work pretty unrewarding. I could help coordinate you with editors at de.$WP, who might be more useful, if you like. --- Charles Stewart (talk) 08:35, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Any editor willing to help out would be great. All I really need is someone who is willing to work with me for a couple days to help with getting Cauchy's article closer to FA quality by using the German one as a model. Thanks so much for your reply and good luck with logic--Cronholm144 08:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey
I'll take a look over the articles and do as much as I can.

Go for it. :p

(Sorry for the late reply)

No problem, any help is appreciated.--Cronholm144 19:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Sai Gunturi
OK, I'm going to add further thoughts on the talk page from now on. Thanks Lindentree 08:04, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Collab


Huzzah! you know where to find us :), though you might notice things have changed a little, hopefully for the better!--Cronholm144 07:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Cronholm, Thank you for your words of encouragement. In this world that has no shortage of criticism, authentic praise is a precious commodity! Anyhow, I do appreciate your comments; thanks! With regards AussieOzborn au 10:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
