[edit] Completion (ring theory)

Hi, Joeldl! Welcome to Wikipedia!

I just ran across your start of an article on topological completions of rings. (I've been browsing the new articles on math topics, just to keep on top of what's happening.) Anyway, I'm curious where you intend to go with it. Have you already looked at Complete ordered field and/or Complete space? I'm thinking that your topic might fit into an existing article more cleanly than it can stand on its own. But then, you no doubt know more about algebra than I do ... I'm mostly a complex analysis guy.

I hope you have fun at Wikipedia! DavidCBryant 14:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the nice note. Really, I think the reference to the other cases is just a way of saying where the idea came from. Virually immediately after that there will be technical material that looks very different from the cases in analysis, see for example Chapter 10 of Atiyah and Macdonald's "Introduction to Commutative Algebra". In any case, it's true that it's a special case of the completion of uniform spaces, but the extra algebraic structure will be important. Joeldl 23:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Autoroute

You recently requested assistance with dealing with the issue on Autoroute by the Mediation Cabal. I would like to help with this. I have started a new discussion thread on the talk page to help resolve this problem. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 20:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I'd be happy to resume mediation and I've contacted Captain scarlet about this as well. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 20:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I just wanted to tell you that I read through that whole discussion page and I can't believe CS's behaviour. I do agree with your points, but even if I didn't, you were clearly the only one of the two of you clearly stating points and not being completely insensitive and innapropriate. I'm writing this here because I don't want to necessarily set that discussion back on fire, but I definitely wante to tell you that that discussion was completely absurd (as you say), and in my opinion by no fault of yours. Cheers. RobHar 09:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] response

The agency I listed is charged by the state with the administration of teaching French "as it exist in Louisiana." For the most part this really just means sticking to basic French but there are alot of places of divergence in Louisiana as well as a lot of vocabulary that is very specific to Louisiana. While I don't think that the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana can force its rule on the population and it doesn't impose rules on classes that teach Perisian French there are accepted by the public school system and the Univeristy systems in Louisiana as having an athoritave say. Louisiana State University in particular tries to follow the rules of Louisiana French published by the agency. Check it out: http://appl003.lsu.edu/artsci/frenchweb.nsf/$Content/Cajun+French?OpenDocument.

If you feel that this is not enough to warrent a listing them as a regulatory body for French then I will certainly look into it further and see just how much authority they have.--Billiot 05:28, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

This was published on March 19th this year by the Louisiana state News office. It doesn't mention The Council for the Development of French in Louisiana I can not but think that there must be information pertaining to it in the acual document which I admit I have yet to read.

"BATON ROUGE -Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco and French Minister of Education Monsieur Gilles de Robien today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) encouraging educational and professional development between Louisiana and the French Academy of Rennes.

"The people of France and Louisiana share many historic and cultural bonds," Gov. Blanco said. "France remains our greatest supporter in advancing French education across our state. This lasting partnership will build new networking opportunities for high school and post-secondary students and implement meaningful historical and cultural projects."

The agreement will occur through technical networking and cooperation between Louisiana and French students in common projects. Louisiana's Community and Technical College System (LCTCS) will link with French universities and technical schools encourage the establishment of professional exchanges between Louisiana and the Brittany region.

The MOU highlights generations of partnerships between Louisianans and the French. Citizens of France and their government are credited with providing more than $1 million to Louisiana schools in addition to numerous contributions to the arts, music and universities in the state. The French made sizeable contributions to Louisiana's recovery efforts following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE); President, Linda Johnson; Deputy Superintendent of Education, Carole Wallin; and LCTCS Board of Supervisors Brett Mellington joined Gov. Blanco in representing Louisiana during a signing ceremony in the Governor's Mansion. French signatories included Monsieur de Robien, Minister Francois Rivasseau, and Rector of the Academy of Rennes, Jean-Baptiste Carpentier."

Another interestiong fact is that this agency is our official link to Le Francophone and it is through them that we carry observer status.--Billiot 05:44, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you give an example of the CODOFIL publications you're talking about? The reason this seems surprising to me is that even a place like New Brunswick doesn't have a regulatory body. They've got so much work just making sure French is used that they can't bother making decisions about what's okay and what isn't. Let me give you an example: the Office de la langue française in Quebec makes decisions about what to call things in French, and then Quebec government documents need to follow their decisions. They decided, for example, that the official word for "e-mail" was going to be courriel, and France actually followed suit a few years later. They also decided in the 70s that the feminine form of ingénieur was to be ingénieure, while in France, it's ingénieur. I'm not disputing that Louisiana French is different, I just wonder whether anybody is actually sitting there making official decisions about what is and what isn't good French. Joeldl 06:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I see your point. The Council for the Development of French in Louisiana does most of it deciding through collaboration. They have released a Louisiana-French glossory which can be view at http://appl003.lsu.edu/artsci/frenchweb.nsf/$Content/Cajun+French+-+English+-+European+French+Glossary?OpenDocument. You will notice again the collaboration with LSU. I could also be mistaken, as taking a look at it all it almost seems as if LSU is the regulator that dictates to the CODOFIL. I need to e-mail them to find out for sure. I may also be helpful for read the charter. I sure I can find that. --Billiot 08:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Would you agree to remove the information until there are sources considered acceptable by WP:Attribution ? After that, let's continue talking on the talk page of the article. Joeldl 16:44, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Government and politics

Actually, it probably would be a good idea to have a cleaner separation between the "government" and "politics" categories. I'd suggest maybe having separate categories, though, rather than proposing a rename. Bearcat 05:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Currently, Category:Government of Canada is a subcategory of Category:Politics of Canada. What would you suggest doing about this? Joeldl 05:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I like the organization for the United States separating Category:Government of the United States, Category:Government in the United States, Category:Politics of the United States and Category:United States law. The first one is for the Federal Government only. I would suggest the same thing for Canada. Joeldl 05:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
