User talk:Shiznick

Wait a moment, I'll look into this. I'm not convinced that IP needs to be blocked, but will consult with the admin who did the block (months ago). I can't see a history of bad edits from that IP either. For the moment, I'll make it a "soft" block, so you should be able to edit through it while logged in with your username.

 * I changed the block on that IP address to allow logged-in users to edit. it's not true that edits via proxies are disallowed, only anonymous edits via proxies.  You should be able to edit now.  Mango juice talk 14:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Mangojuice, you beat me to it. I also reported the case at the Open Proxies wikiproject for review. Happy editing, Shiznick, and sorry for the inconvenience. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Half-tangent
One last aside possibly relevant if you did work with the Gudermannian function and its inverse: these functions are closely related to the circular and hyperbolic half-tangents. I started a draft of a Wikipedia article about half-tangents which sort of ballooned in scope, accreting piles of formulas and related topics until it's probably no longer appropriate as a Wiki article and probably should be published elsewhere (maybe with a cut-down summary left in Wikipedia article namespace). It's still incomplete and I haven't yet figured out quite what to do with it, but you might find it interesting or useful: User:Jacobolus/HalfTan. –jacobolus (t) 03:01, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
