List of snowclones
Hi Jack

I'm really sorry! I missed your first comment on my talk page. It's been quite a busy few days on there and as it wasn't at the bottom, I didn't spoit it. I have userfied the content of the list to User:JackSchmidt/List of snowclones. Please do not restore it to the main article space, or add huge swathes of it to the snowclones article. Thanks.

 * Thanks very much; it looks great! No worries about the missed comment or about an attack of the snowclones.  My wife and I think they are great, but I think a giant list is better for a fan site than an encyclopedia.  JackSchmidt 18:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed. And anyone who makes a Star Wars pun is alright with me!  Neil   ☎  21:05, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Math edits (Nbarth)
Hi Jack—glad you enjoyed the contributions, and thanks for the kind words. I'd just wanted to understand Clifford algebras, and way lead to way. (Ok, numerical polynomials are not part of that—I just remember Peter May talking about them. But I hope the article grows!)

I've thought a lot more about dicyclic groups and understand the connection to pin groups much better, so I'll shortly (tomorrow, I plan) write up the connections (and the center of the pin groups).

Thanks again for the support! Nbarth (talk) 01:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I think you need to see read the paper. http://www.jstor.org/view/00029890/di991539/99p0082c/0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin.vp (talk • contribs) 22:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

The paper above reference some early papers. I saw only one of them (reference number 5) not precisely related to this theme. But reference number 2 (L. E. Dickson Linear Groups ) it is acknowledged to be a very good book. I haven't seen it. I don't what is the approach there.
