Signing talk page messages
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you.

Martin, I have moved the signatures in your most recent talk page messages to the end of the messages. When you sign at the top of a message, the archiving bots will mess up the talk page. By the way, don't forget that on article talk pages we must discuss the article, not the subject. See wp:Talk page guidelines. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 16:19, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Your comments in Talk:Limit of a function
Your final comment was correct: Wikipedia is not for advancing or publicizing new knowledge, but to document existing one. I'll note that you were replying to a comment from September 2009; that means that the issue was pretty much dead already... In other words, it wasn't a proposal that was likely to be "live", and as such did not really need much further discussion.

Generally speaking, discussion in the talk pages should be about the page; discussion about whether something is or is not a good idea mathematically is not really relevant (though a discussion of whether something is or is not standard, sources, etc, as they relate to proposed additions or deletions is). It is easy for Talk pages to drift into a general discussion of the subject, but that is something that one should guard against because it's not really their purpose.

Disambiguation link notification for July 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Two knights endgame, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Troitsky. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Two knights endgame. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:43, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
