I've had it
I've had it. I'm sick of all of the trolls around here. So long folks. silly rabbit (  talk  ) 17:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry to hear that; I hope you choose to return at some point. You're erudite, educated, and eloquent - we need more contributors like you. DS (talk) 21:22, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, please don't do that! You're one of the brightest lights on math and science articles, and your excellent contributions are always appreciated. I'm sorry to see you have been hassled. Trolls can be very wearing if you're fending them off alone, so why not call for reinforcements to help out? There are helpful math admins, such as Arthur Rubin, who are not afraid of wielding the mop when dealing with trolls. I'm not an admin, but I'll lend a hand too if asked. - Neparis (talk) 04:34, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Improving Bill Gates to Featured Article status
I am currently improving Bill Gates to Featured Article status, and noticed that you made substantial contributions to the article recently. If you have time, please help out in improving the article to Featured Article status. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 02:34, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Health care in the United States
You removed a link on this page from alexcamus stating that there was no content on the page. I'm not sure why you made that determination, as a prominent link on the page goes to a 30+ page report, annotated and newsworthy....

?

I've placed the link back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.137.214 (talk) 08:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Ooops. Sorry.  The big flag and "We're almost up and running" at the top suggested that the page was not yet operational.  I didn't even see the link at the bottom.  silly rabbit  (  talk  ) 12:04, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Happy 10000!


Arcfrk (talk) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and happy editing! Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Hi SR, and congratulations on passing the 10000th milepost! I was very moved by your decision to dedicate it to my modicum of contributions. Many happy returns, and do not let rummaging specimen of Ignoramus infestus vulgaris deter you from doing your excellent work! Best wishes, Arcfrk (talk) 23:50, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Problem editor
Hi SR, I appreciate your trying to find an amicable resolution to the conflict between MathSci and myself. Unfortunately, it is not going to work, because (and it becomes very clear if one reads his response on the math project talk page) he is not interested in changing his ways, and I am through with his attacks on me whenever I attempt to improve any article that he has contributed to. I wish you much success in your tireless work on mathematics articles, and it has been a pleasure to have e-met you, even though our acquaintance had started on a rather bad note. Good bye and good luck, Arcfrk (talk) 08:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

e^x^2
Thanks a lot for clarifying on the taylor series page. But i'd hold my teach for using the word 'inevaluable'. Isn't it wrong to say so? Apart from that, is there any form of the integral whereby it can be expressed without the use of an infinite series? And i am just talking about the indefinite integral and not a definite one for this function. Leif edling (talk) 13:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * As a series, the integral is just
 * $$\int e^{x^2}\,dx = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)n!}.$$
 * Although I think for most purposes, this is not what people mean when they say "evaluate" an integral. silly rabbit  (  talk  ) 14:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Global analytic function
I don't quite get the following sentence in the article on global analytic function:
 * "Two function elements (f1,U1) and (f2,U2) are said to be analytic continuations of one another if U1&cap;U2≠ф."

I assume that the last symbol refers to the empty set; it looks a bit weird on my computer, and it's identified as a Cyrillic letter. But more importantly, is there a condition missing, something like f_1 and f_2 should coincide on the intersection? -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 09:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's right. I have (hopefully) fixed it now.  Thanks,  silly rabbit  (  talk  ) 11:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Grassmann/Saint Venant exterior algebra
Dear Silly Rabbit, please see my reply on Talk:Exterior algebra on the Saint Venant Grassmann priority dispute. There are plenty of reliable sources. Problem seems to me that without going back to the original French papers and understanding clefs and determinants and what StV understood by them it is hard to be sure which aspect of exteror algebra was disputed. However that would be original research. I think we have to take the biographical literature at face value. I did not revert your deletion, but this page says you are taking a break so if you dont get around to looking at it I will edit it back in with more refs.Billlion (talk)

Jack Kemp
You are amontg those who has edited supply-side economics at least 20 times and at least once this year. You may want to participate at Peer_review/Jack_Kemp/archive1.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 21:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for using common sense in putting that notation into the first paragraph in circle, I don't know why I put that into a new section at the bottom of the page.– Sidious1701(talk &bull; email) 21:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Lol! I'm glad you like my version better.  Cheers,  silly rabbit  (  talk  ) 21:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

You are a redlink (?)
Both your user page and Talk page are currently showing as redlinks. I hadn't thought that that was possible for established user and Talk pages. Do you have any idea why that's happening? -- Writtenonsand (talk) 01:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Please consider taking the AGF Challenge
I would like to invite you to consider taking part in the AGF Challenge which has been proposed for use in the RfA process by User: Kim Bruning. You can answer in multiple choice format, or using essay answers, or anonymously. You can of course skip any parts of the Challenge you find objectionable or inadvisable.--Filll (talk) 13:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:B.F. Skinner at Harvard circa 1950.jpg
You are that you took this photo of B.F. Skinner around 1950, so you must be in your late seventies now or older. First, let me congratulate you on being a prolific Wikipedia contributor in such a high age, and thank you for generously sharing this photo from your youth more than half a century ago. But could you please answer the question if this photo might have been published previously in a book or a journal? Regards, High on a tree (talk) 23:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The photo is not from a book. If you want further details, please email me.   silly rabbit  (  talk  ) 23:57, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
