Hello, I'm Codename Lisa. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Windows Virtual PC, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Apology about quick revert
I apologize for my quick revert of your edits at Dihedral group; I see there is a confusion between the use of n as the order of the group and as the index of the dihedral group that I missed. There are times when lack of an adequate explanatory edit summary leads to a "leave it like it was" response. I'll take the time over the next day or two to more carefully review the changes needed. —Quondum 19:30, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. ViperSnake151  Talk  15:10, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

The article titled strict initial object is currently an orphan, i.e. no other articles link to it. If you know of others that should link to it, could you add the links? Michael Hardy (talk) 15:08, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Redirects to disambiguation pages.
I believe you may have misinterpreted the guidance regarding redirects to disambiguation pages. It is perfectly acceptable and useful for an ambiguous short form like Bill Cox to redirect to a disambiguation page like William Cox, which provides readers with likely solution for what "Bill Cox" means.

"First Century" vs. "1st Century"
Hello. I see that you undid my moving of "1st Century" to "First Century". Why did you do that? The MOS says not to begin sentences with numerals, and the same principle should apply to titles, shouldn't it? The MOS also says that numbers under ten should be written as words. Do you have in mind a different rule? J. D. Crutchfield &#124; Talk 15:06, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Today tomorrow paradox
I am afraid I have deleted the article. Without any third-party references (see the policy of verifiability), the article appears to be about something you have personally invented. That said, I don't see how it is a paradox; it is based on a blatantly incorrect premise: "If you exist today, you will exist tomorrow; therefore, you are immortal" - you could as well say "you are immortal, therefore you are immortal". - Mike Rosoft (talk) 05:54, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Initial context-setting
Hello. You may be interested in some of my recent edits to articles that you edited recently.

If you write
 * In category theory,

or
 * In group theory,

that utterly fails to give the lay reader any hint that mathematics is what the article is about. "In geometry" or "In number theory" or "In algebra" or "In abstract algebra" or "In mathematical analysis" or "In calculus" or "In arithmetic" are terms that typical lay readers understand. "In category theory" is not. Nor "In topology". In some cases, there is no need for any such context-setting phrase because the title of the article already does it, for example Mathematical induction or Algebraic number or Algebra of permutations.

Not interested
If I were administrator, I'd at least elevate my language without even trying (for e.g., I'd never tell any editor to "fuck off my Talk page" under any circumstances, as Drmies typically does and has become normalized behavior from admins on WP). I know how to be professional when I choose - I've spoken with company CEOs, given presentations to auditoriums consisting of hundreds of people, and to technically oriented audience. I know how to remain professional and divorce my personal ego when called upon to communicate or perform tasks. But I have no desire to administrate (I've had userbox "This editor is not an administrator and does not wish to be one" on my userpage since 25 July 2011), or be part of a corrupted and poorly thought-out governance structure in serious need of reform. When WP evolves its governace structure from the current shameless state to something more world-respectable, there probably won't be any admins as we know them today. The admin structure on WP has fostered an obvious culture similar to police in society, who socialize among themselves and are essentially an isolated subset from the larger society. One officer's questionable actions are not questioned or reported or interferred with by any other officer, as that would be tantamount to professional suicide. And police officers want to keep their jobs and not be estranged from their fellow officers. So it is on WP. Except these aren't paying "jobs" that pay their children's college educations; these are roles that feed their egos, until tired of it and they become "inactive admins". An admin's badge is more important to her or him than rescuing some innocent editor from being hamstrung. This is all human nature at its ugly side, let loose by a poory fathomed organizational methodology. IHTS (talk) 02:35, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

RfA nominations
Hi. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I do not think you are sufficiently aware of our adminship system and what it entails to be an admin to be nominating other users. It is generally not standard practice to go ahead and create RfA pages without first discussing with the candidate. A nominator should also do extensive research in order to be 99.9% certain that their candidate will pass. We already have mechanisms in place for recruiting admin candidates. Please read Requests for adminship/Nominate then WP:Advice for RfA candidates (all of it) to learn more. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:43, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
