Yes, I'll second that welcome.

And to repeat, excellent work on blardy. It may be that little of your text gets retained, but it's contributed in lots of other ways. For example, there are now redirects from heterological and autological, and a reference in the Russell's paradox article (which you found) to the Grelling-Nelson paradox article, which neither of us found. That's how a wiki works. There have been other benefits that are a bit more subtle.

And I hope your text will survive much as it is, somewhere. I like your style very much. But that's beyond our control. Again, that's how a wiki works.

Below are the links and standard greeting I left on your IP page, which I will leave there too for the moment. They'll disappear from the IP page in about six months, these will stay here indefinitely or until someone removes them.

When you get a chance, drop us a note at New user log to introduce yourself.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " " for your username and " ~ " for your username and a timestamp. We normally do this on discussion pages as a courtesy, but not in articles.


 * Welcome is a good place to start.

Please feel free to drop me a question on my talk page if there's anything you think I can help with. Andrewa 20:05, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Nakayama lemma
Hello, I came across the article on the Nakayama lemma and I made some small changes regarding the format. Unfortunately, I do not know anything about that field of mathematics, so perhaps you could check that I did not make any mistakes? You might also want to try and learn from the changes that I found necessary - or perhaps you disagree with them, in which case you can revert them.

Regarding your question on Talk:Quasi-coherent: You need to go to the quasi-coherent article, click the edit link, remove all the text and replace it with
 * #REDIRECT coherence (mathematics)

Give it a try; nothing serious can go wrong.

We always need more people who know some mathematics, so I am glad to have met you. Pop in at the WikiProject Mathematics, if you haven't come across it before. If you have any questions, you can always ask me on my talk page.

I hope you like it here. Cheers, Jitse Niesen 08:26, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Algebraic potato

 * Someone wrote to the Columbia math department about it, and the response from the professor was that it was a hoax. See this article's vfd entry for the email.  GinaDana 17:16, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

You wrote Chevalley-scheme, possibly to support the potato joke. Could you please explain what these schemes are and why they are useful? As it is, the article is a straightforward translation of EGA which makes me uncomfortable due to possible copyright issues. By the way, they are probably called "Chevalley schemes" (without hyphen) in English. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 17:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

I know as much as you; but Groth. himself probably included Chevalley schemes as an acknowledgment(to Chevalley, that is). To my knowledge, it is ok to quote as long as you mention your sources. (some articles, such as that on Iwasawa theory don't.... oh yea, they are called "Chevalley schemes" indeed. Esprungo 23:55, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

List of japanese-german concepts in mathematics
A "" template has been added to the article List of japanese-german concepts in mathematics, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Shogi translation help
Hi Esprungo,

This may not really be your thing, but I see you're interested in go, so I was wondering if you might be able to help me with understanding a few lines on shogi, specifically tenjiku shogi.

My Japanese sucks, especially Edo-era stuff like 如奔王亦猫刄再度歩兼二行, which describes the move of one of the tenjiku pieces. As far as I can tell, it means something like "as a free king or twice as a cat sword in two directions" (the 奔王 and 猫刄 are other pieces), but trying to draw a chess diagram from that is pretty dicey. (The diagram on Japanese Wikipedia doesn't appear to match the verbal description, which happens sometimes.)

Anyway, there are about four things like that that I'm stuck on, trying to verify the English article from the sources quoted in J-wiki. Would you mind helping out?

Thanks, kwami (talk) 08:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Dear Kwami,


 * sorry. I barely know the Shogi rules (always have to ask when I play). Good luck though. ~esprungo


 * Thanks. Actually, this isn't standard shogi, but a bizarre Edo-era variant. It was more a matter of whether you can translate the Japanese. I can read most of it, but a few passages like that one are beyond me. kwami (talk) 20:00, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Latin
I am not sure whether you are familiar with a WikiProject or not (a description can be found here) but I'm planning on starting one for the Latin language. This is mainly because Latin is and has been such an important language in the history of western civilization but the article is only rated a 'C'. If you support my proposal then please sign your name on the proposal page here. 95jb14 (talk) 14:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Esprungo! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
