[edit] Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll be sure to use it more in the future. Also, thanks for cleaning up that little bit I added about e - Carifio24 19:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Imaginary logarithm
You may have noticed that imaginary logarithm is up for deletion. I changed complex logarithm to discuss the case of log(-x) for real x. In fact, one has
- log( − x) = log | x | + i2π(n + 1 / 2)
for any/every integer n; the value is not uniquely defined, since log is inherently multi-valued. It seems that the term "imaginary logarithm" has historical importance; for example, Euler seems to have used the term. If you can read Latin, or otherwise do historical research, I suggest that perhaps the right thing to do would be to write about how the term "imaginary logarithm" was used hundreds of years ago. linas 17:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Golden ratio
I reverted your change to Golden ratio, since you didn't explain the method, and since it's such a hard method compared to the others.
By the way, your Parabolic Constant article has a typo in the lead, and sure needs a figure. I'm hoping to understand what it says. Also, you should move it to Parabolic constant, for consistency with wikipedia article naming. Dicklyon 03:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hexagon method
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Hexagon method, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.
