Welcome and Suggestions
Hello Jamesmath. Welcome to Wikipeida!

I see that you have contributed significant additions to a few articles lately. Thanks for putting in the time and hard work to share your knowledge with the world.

I have a suggestion to make your edits even better:

Put math inside math tags (like this: $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$), which allows for basic LaTeX code, instead of making the text bold or including an image of the math.

As another example, you can replace the images of matrices you added with LaTeX code like this:


 * $$\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}$$

Happy editing :) Bender2k14 (talk) 17:09, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Followup
(You reply to me on your page in the same section, or in a new section at the end of my talk page, Talk:Arthur Rubin.) You say the large additions aren't copied. In that case, though, they are probably WP:Original research, and are also not allowed in Wikipedia articles. Perhaps you should be editing WikiBooks or Wikiversity, rather than Wikipedia. I don't want to discourage you; it appears that you have a good technical grasp of the subjects you are editing. However, you need to know what Wikipedia allows, per policies and guidelines, and what it does not. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:06, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
