[edit] Suggested Wiki-links

An automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the Andrey_Markov article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience.
Tip: Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page. To do this, just add {{User:LinkBot/suggestions/Andrey_Markov}} to this page. — LinkBot 10:38, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Also the equation put up for which he won the gold medal seems too simple. the veracity needs to be checked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arjun.theone (talk • contribs) 12:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Father and son

I suggest to rearrange articles on A.A. Markov and his son in the following way.

• - Andrey Markov will be a disambiguation page with three entries, Andrey Markov, Sr. (Russian mathematician, specialized in probability), Andrey Markov, Jr. (Soviet mathematician, specialized in logic), Andrei Markov (hockey player);
• - all pages like Andrei Markov, A.A. Markov, Andrey Andreyevich Markov are redirects to this disambiguation page;
• - real pages for A.A. Markovs will be placed at Andrey Markov, Sr. (mathematician) and Andrey Markov, Jr. (mathematician) and Andrei Markov (ice hockey)

Current situation leads to many confusions that are difficult to detect (see at "What links here" and look for logic- or hockey- related articles). Of course, they can be linked properly, but such mistakes will emerge again almost surely, as any editor who make a link to A.A.Markov (meaning Jr.) can even test this link, read the first phrase of the article "A.A. Markov was a Russian mathematician..." and became satisfied.--92.39.161.221 (talk) 21:51, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
