[edit] Kriging

Hello!

I've originally visited the kriging page several months ago, looking for useful information (Specifically, I wanted to implement kriging in a Fortran program to interpolate unordered elevation data). The page struck me as being chaotic and going off at a tangent; little specific information on the kriging technique was provided, but there was a lot of vituperative wrangling against geostatistics.

I complained on the talk page and waited a long time for the article to improve. I revisited the article periodically, read the talk page and related user talk pages closely (JanWMerks and Merksmatrix in particular), and came to the conclusion that the reason the article is so wretched is because it is under continuous attack by a father-and-son team of cranks, who disrupt any constructive work with their own unsubstantiated agenda.

In order to give bona-fide editors like you more breathing space, I recommend that this matter be given due process under Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. Specifically, I propose that a request for help be filed under AMA Requests for Assistance, as a first step. Perhaps the Advocate will be able to guide us in the steps that need to be taken to stop the disruptive behavior. My ultimate goal is Article probation. I am fed up with the cranks. Aren't you?

Please let me know what you think at my talk page. I sent this message to Hike395, Michael Hardy, Vsmith, SCmurky, Antro5, Nvj and Berland, as these names appear a number of times in the discussions. Freederick 16:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Math

Thanks for all the good work you are doing to math related articles. I noticed when you cleaned up Cardinal spline, it looks much better now. HowIBecameCivil 22:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tate Modern

I thought I should mention that this edit by the anon was half right whether by luck or judgement. He removed one accent. I've looked up the name: both need to be removed (which I've now done). Tyrenius 21:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I just saw that the edit made the link red, that did nok look good. --Berland 05:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I do not agree with you. The Wikipedia article on him includes the accents (icelandic), and the fact that some web references omits the accents (probably because they do not know how to type them) should be ignored by wikipedia. Berland 07:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
