- The problem is the article as it was written doesn't make sense. The text was: " The unique torsion free connection, preserving a riemannian metric". What does that mean? What does this relate to? Is it physics? biology? fiction? Remember you are writing for a non-specialist audience.
- A quick Google tells me this is something to do with mathematics. The Anome gave a great example of how to write a good article on mathematical topics:
- "(Mathematician) invented the concept of X in 18xx to represent (squeezy-pully-twisty things). A simple example, using modern notation is (example). (Explain notation). The idea has now been generalized to (stuff), which has uses in (other fields of math and science). The idea of X can be formalized as follows: let there be objects X such that (notation). Then (notation) (notation) (notation)..." (from this talk page)

- If this article has nothing to do with mathematics, then that shows the problem even more clearly. In a case like this it is usually thought better to remove the article rather than have a confusing sub-stub. But much better is to improve the article, and if you can do that it would be great! I hope you stick around and give it a go. Regards -- sannse 19:30 26 Jun 2003 (UTC)
