Please provide references for your changes to the artice on Happy Numbers. Also, please take note of WP:NOR if these are your results. Thank you, Bubba73 (talk), 20:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * In the mean time, I've reverted these additions. As Bubba73 requests, please provide citations for these claims if you add them again (take a look at WP:CITE and WP:VERIFY for more information on citations on Wikipedia).  Cheers, Doctormatt 20:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your comments. I expected my additions to raise some eyebrows, but did not expect such a quick response. Yes, the additions are all my own research. I can provide you with a writeup of the algorithm used, source code, compiled executable, spreadsheets, and graphs, if desired (just let me know how to send you attachments). It appears though (WP:NOR), that it's not merely a matter of disclosing details to the two of you. These results need to be published somewhere else to be cited in the Wikipedia article. This is a stumbling block, as I don't have access to traditional publishing avenues and have no web site or "web presence" of any kind (HTML doesn't interest me. Math does). I would enjoy disseminating my findings and am open to any suggestions you may have.
 * Thanks for looking into the wikipedia guidelines. What do you mean that you don't have access to traditional publishing avenues?  It sounds like you might have some good results that could be written up and submitted to quite a number of journals for publication.  Why not?  Cheers, Doctormatt 21:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
