Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/PlanetMath Exchange/01-XX History and biography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page provides a list of all articles available at PlanetMath in the following topic:

01-XX History and biography.

This list will be periodically updated. Each entry in the list has three fields:

  1. PM : The first field is the link to the PlanetMath article, along with the article's object ID.
  2. WP : The second field is either a "guessed" link to a correspondingly named Wikipedia article, produced by the script which generated the list, or one or more manually entered links to the corresponding Wikipedia articles on the subject.
  3. Status : The third field is the status field, which explains the current status of the entry. The recommended status entries are:
Status means PM article
N not needed
A adequately covered
C copied
M merged
NC needs copying
NM needs merging
  • Please update the WP and Status fields as appropriate.
  • if the WP field is correct please remove the qualifier "guess".
  • If the corresponding Wikipedia article exists, but the link to it is wrong, please fix the link.
  • If you copy or merge an article from PlanetMath, please update the WP and Status fields for that entry.
  • If you have any comments, for example, thoughts on how the PlanetMath article compares to the corresponding Wikipedia article(s), please place such comments on a new indented line following the entry. Comments of this kind are very valuable.

Don't forget to include the relevant template if you copy over text or feel like an external link is warranted

  • {{planetmath|id=|title=}} for copied over text
  • {{planetmath reference|id=|title=}} for an external link

See the main page for examples and usage criteria.

One can use the web-based program Pmform to convert PlanetMath articles to the Wikipedia format. As a side benefit, this tool will place the PlanetMath template for you.

[edit] 01-00 General reference works (handbooks, dictionaries, bibliographies, etc.)

[edit] 01A20 Greek, Roman

PM article is a substantial document with an impressive list of references, including the much shorter WP article. A nice little project! Ben Cairns 11:24, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC).
WP article very comprehensive, but lacks some details and excellent referencing given in PM article. Ben Cairns 11:24, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC).
PlanetMath content merged; sections on methodology and logic could use some clarification work, and content under logic might need to be moved to Aristotelian logic. Alba 03:30, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

PM article deals with Achilles & the tortoise, and proposes the commonly accepted mathematical solutions. Merged a little of their solution, as it is particularly general. Ben Cairns 13:13, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC).

[edit] 01A50 18th century

The PM article could, with only minor changes, be copied into its own section titled say "life", as the first section following the TOC (perhaps changing the "Discoveries" section to "Work". There is at least one descrepency between the two, PM mentions 70 volumes for his completed works while ours says 75. Paul August ☎ 19:35, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
Merged, but not checked for discrepancies. Alba 20:39, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Merged. Could still use fact-checking, expansion from other sources and editing for flow. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 02:25, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 01A55 19th century

The PM article has a nice picture, and lots of well researched and densely referenced material with a great bibliography, all of which would be very valuable additions to our article. Paul August ☎
The picture looks like a cropping of the one we have, and the other material has been merged. Some potions went to automorphic function instead as it was more directly relevant there. Alba 22:41, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 01A60 20th century

The PM article has several nice pictures, and lots of well researched and densely referenced material with a great bibliography, all of which would be very valuable additions to our article. Paul August ☎ 20:22, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
