User talk:Danstronger

Small world, Euler's identity
Am I correct that you are the Dan Stronger who was a math team captain at Stuy back in the day? (If so, I was a contemporary of your brother.) Anyhow, about this silliness, the IP editor making the changes is a mostly competent but incredibly unpleasant banned user; for unclear reasons they object broadly to the use of adjectives, including both cases of inappropriate promotion and cases where the descriptions are correct and well-sourced. Separately, the phrase "emotional brain" is a direct quote from the Zeki citation. --JBL (talk) 15:34, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep, thats me. Nice to meet you.  I suspect the other editors are concerned that the article appears to endorse the view that the equation is beautiful, rather than just reporting the notable viewpoints and research.  To be fair, the article is pretty clean in that regard, but I think the points of contention are the ones that may make it look like Wikipdedia finds the formula beautiful.  I see what you mean about "emotional brain" -- I hadn't realized that.  I still think "emotional brain" is a pretty informal, unscientific thing to call a specific brain region, and that the article sounds better just going straight for orbitofrontal cortex.  Since the authors say "emotional brain", I suppose it's also fine to have it in quotes like that, but my inclination is to err on the side of formality (especially in the spirit of compromise here, although I realize that's not really a valid justification for a decision about the page).

Nicki minaj
Do you mind updating nicki Minaj’s wiki to include info about her personal life? She is set to be married soon Popsmoke223 (talk) 15:31, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't really know anything about her personal life; I was just removing some bad commas. If you have a good citation for the information, I encourage you to add it directly. Danstronger (talk) 04:43, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation/temp moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation/temp, is not suitable as written to remain published, as it duplicates List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation. If that is not the case, please continue working on the article in the draftspace until it is materially distinct and can be given a distinct name that does not rely on slahes. In normal circumstances, I would have nominated the article for speedy deletion but wanted you to be able to keep your work somewhere since there is an "under construction" tag.

 * Thanks for letting me know, and thanks for not deleting it. It was originally created in Talk space, but it was moved to main space so we could edit it with visual editor. I suppose draft space is more appropriate, since it's a draft.  (Incidentally, the intention is for it to replace the main List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation once it's done... long story, if you're interested see the talk page there and recent deletion discussion.)
