Some Wikipedia conventions
Hello. Some of your edits prompt these tips:


 * Articles should begin with complete sentences, not dictionary-style definitions.
 * The title word or title phrase should be highlighted at its first appearance, like this.
 * Your link to alternating sign matrix conjecture used too many capital letters. When I checked, that article did not exist, but if it had, your extra capitals would have prevented the link from working until a redirect was created.
 * "Displayed" TeX should be indented, thus:


 * $$\int_{-\infty}^\infty 1\,dx.$$


 * Note that I used two colons to create this indentation, whereas usually one would be enough. Two were needed in this case because the paragraph began with a "bullet", and so it was already indented.


 * Don't use too many capitals in section headings. "External links" with a lower-case "l" is correct; a capital "L" would be wrong; see Manual of Style.  Similarly "Further reading", with a lower-case "r".

Happy editing. Michael Hardy 17:44, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
