Hello, Gameplayer53423, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Mnemonics in trigonometry did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.

 * Hello Apocheir, although your point about the verifiability policy of wikipedia is noted, I believe it does not apply in the context of a memory tool to aid in trigonometry. Mnemonics are constructed to aid students in their memory of a particular concept, so are ultimately made up by one person (usually a teacher) who believes it is a more memorable mnemonic. "All Sigmas Trade Crypto" follows the conventions of the acronyms and acrostics branch of mnemonic devices (the starting letters of each word spelling out ASTC) and can provide greater memorability to the current generation of students than other related mnemonics such as All Stations To Central, A Smart Trig Class, or All Students Take Calculus. Ultimately, almost all mnemonics are made up from background knowledge, with little to no research going into their development, therefore since no published research is undertaken, there nothing to cite for any of the listed mnemonics aside from lists by other websites. If the section "All Students Take Calculus" in the article Mnemonics in trigonometry was about commonly used mnemonics, a citation would be necessary to prove its widespread use, however the section only states that they are possible mnemonics, not commenting on the use of the mnemonic. Ergo, this means that "All Sigmas Trade Crypto" is valid as a mnemonic and there should be no requirement for a citation. Gameplayer53423 (talk) 03:25, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
