Relationship between economics and finance
Across several wikipedia pages the relationship between economics and finance is very poorly described and obviously not written by users with advanced experience in economics or econometrics. I anonymously updated (deleted) several sentences in the page that describe the relationship between mathematical finance and financial economics. These statements were/are not supported with links or citations. They are not accurate statements as they do not reflect the practices of modern macroeconomists and financial economists. The questionable statements about the relationship between financial economics and mathematical finance do not add value to the definition on the page.

Wiki entry on `Professor'
Dear Professor Limit-theorem, I edited (anonymously)the page on `Professor' a couple of days ago. You undid everything I had changed or added. Maybe my edit was clumsy. I've now created an account and supplied my email address. Surely it's clear to anyone working in a university these days, that the entry on Wikipedia is at least thirty years out of date. It describes better days perhaps. The use of `colloquial', to describe the term `professor' in N. American usage is not really accurate. If one is an Associate Professor, then in the N. American system one is a species of professor. (But when a students says "Hey prof." that is indeed correctly described as colloquial.) This is a small point, but the article is very misleading in this and other ways. For example, when many departments in middle rank UK universities have between a third and half the staff at full Professor level, the `big-beast' description is simply not credible. On the other hand, my remark concerning senior management is accurate and points to an important problem. This practise debases the title. There are numerous university presidents/vice-chancellors or whatever, who actually have very few academic achievements. I have worked under two like this, and am aware of others through conversations with colleagues, over the years, working in other universities. We all want Wikipedia to be an accurate and up to date encyclopedia so, perhaps you might think about how to address the failings of this entry on Wiki.

Hello "Limit-theorem", I see that you use the personal criterion “Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that can be consulted by students” so you “fix anything that departs from such a criterion”. Can you accordingly please explain to me how this applies to describing the provision of a requested citation as “Apparent vandalism”, or the grouping of real life individuals in a different section to that which pertains to fiction as “Apparent vandalism”, or the apparent novelty of a "non-academic" who takes the title of professor when relating to college students? Other people clearly accepted my edits and there is some separate discussion of this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse?markasread=226753441&markasreadwiki=enwiki#What_is_%22constructive%22?

 * These edits may not be "apparent vandalism" and my descriptor may be inaccurate. But the repeated reintroduction of these elements incongruent to the page and not helpful in an encyclopedia may deserve some administrative attention. Limit-theorem (talk) 10:04, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. There appear to be three parts of the article that need supporting references ("citation needed"), as flagged up at the top of the page, so I supplied one that was requested with an additional recent and apparently novel example that is also backed up by supporting references (I can't help with the other two examples that I can see). What would you suggest to make the article less incongruent? Would it be better to relegate the "Fiction" or real-life "non-academic" examples to a separate article? If you don't feel you can address this directly, I would be grateful if you could please direct me to someone else whom you think might be better placed to do so.

Academic ranks in the United States
Why do you keep removing my changes regarding academic ranks for librarians? I have cited the best recent article on the topic to back up my edits regarding the percentage of librarians with academic rank, and my goal was to help readers (and especially potential librarians) who may want more information about this topic.

Also, the assertion that "the head librarian" (1950s terminology) is especially likely to have academic rank is contrary to the policies of many state universities, which make a clear distinction between faculty and administrators. Arguably, the "head librarian" is LESS likely to have academic rank at those institutions due to his or her administrative role, and two of the largest state systems (PA and MN) specifically exclude the library director from holding academic rank. Admittedly, I'm not aware of a peer-reviewed paper that addresses this particular point.

Please restore my changes. If not, I'll be glad to use this article in my information science class as an example of the ways in which Wikipedia departs from scholarly norms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.182.45 (talk) 00:10, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, looking for Finance teacher... BTW Mandelbrot
Hi. I was looking for a teacher of Finance, with the idea that teachers would have more exp. explaining the non-technical aspects than would practitioners. I know you're in quant rather than general finance, and I am sorry to bother you, but you're the closest I could find. I'm looking for help with Black Monday (1987), which I've put a lot of effort into recently. [Right at the moment I need a good one- or two-paragraph summary of the global bull market ca. 1982–87, but any and all would be appreciated.] Know anyone who might be interested? BTW, Mandelbrot apparently had things to say about the intersection of chaos theory and the crash (yes, I looked at your recent contribs to see if you are still active). Cheers! ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 02:16, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Heaviside
I don't see you can't put something in the article accrediting Heaviside to reactance. He influenced Stienmetz to use complex numbers in circuit analysis. Heaviside explains how the circuit actually works, and although he was not the inventor of reactance, he used reactance to explain the ionosphere and how wireless radio works. This is why reactance should be in the article. Heaviside used reactance to explain Maxwell's equations. If Heaviside is accredited to Maxwell's equations he should also be accredited to reactance.

If you don't believe me, it is in the book "The Forgotten Genius of Oliver Heaviside." You also might want to read Heaviside's electromagnetic theory. That is a primary source. After read both sources, there is no drought in my mind that reactance and Heaviside making that term popular, should be in the article. K00la1dx (talk) 18:13, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
