[edit] From Dank55

Hi, Andreas, please see my message about your edit on Robot on my userpage (I didn't put it elsewhere because it's "chatty"). — Dan Dank55 (talk) 17:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CGT and Base

Howdy, I noticed you cleaned up some articles in the CGT and Algorithms categories.

Did you delete the CGT cat from articles because they may have used CGT, but they did not actually discuss CGT? The article Base (group theory) is fairly stubby, but a significant percentage of the article discusses CGT, and actually an incredibly significant amount of research on permutation group bases is done by the computational group theory community. I plan on expanding the article and adding back the category. First, I wanted to check if you had a different understanding of the article or of the category.

I am also curious about removing the Algorithms category, but I think I agree with it. I think that articles in the Algorithms category are usually of interest to computer science people, but computational group theory is often not interesting to computer science people. I want to understand the category better, and so I am curious why you removed the algorithms category. I have no intention of putting the Algorithms category back.

Sorry, I overlooked the following statement in Base (group theory): "...Bases and strong generating sets are concepts of importance in computational group theory" and thought that the article doesn't belong to CGT. Now I reverted my change.
I made complete CGT category belong to 'Algorithms' category. Due to this articles from CGT category don't need to have 'Algorithms' category themselfs. Andreas Kaufmann (talk) 21:32, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Excellent, thanks! Yes, CGT as a subcategory of algorithms seems like a very good idea. Right now the categories sort of say "Computational group theory is the intersection of algorithms and group theory," and while not strictly true, it is a very good summary. Thanks for cleaning up categories. It is hard, and many people do not notice, but it very much improves wikipedia! JackSchmidt (talk) 21:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Genetic Algorithms and category Algorithms

Andreas, you removed Genetic Algorithms from the Category algorithms. Sorry, but I reverted; to me it seems obvious. Could you stop by the talk and explain? I would agree that GA doesn't get much attention from theory of complexity, but the technique is definitely an algorithm and has very wide application.

[edit] Dangling else

You changed the category from "Programming language topics" to "Programming language implementation" but I would say the the dangling else is a language design issue and not an implementation issue Iccaldwell (talk) 09:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually this is a problem to be solved during parser or grammatic construction. I changed the category now to 'Parsing'. Andreas Kaufmann (talk) 18:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion of Engineering Mathematics through Applications

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Engineering Mathematics through Applications, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? silly rabbit (talk) 20:59, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
