User talk:Mathslover

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, Mathslover, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy talk contribs

Hi, with regard to your edits of Poincaré conjecture:

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.

Sorry, but I'm going to revert most of your recent series of edits on that article. I don't know exactly why you did them. Because of the lack of edit summaries I wasn't enlightened either... --Francis Schonken 12:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop removing content from Poincaré conjecture

It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed content from Poincaré conjecture. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. --Francis Schonken 13:36, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

What is your problem with Zhu and Cao's work? You can't just say that their paper is of a low standard, you must cite a reliable source. See Cite your sources and Reliable sources for relevant policies. Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 15:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Mathslover, sorry, but your comments on Zhu and Cao's paper are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Your opinions on the paper, correct or not, are original research and that is not allowed here. --agr 00:52, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR on Poincaré conjecture

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Poincaré conjecture. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. --Francis Schonken 07:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR Block

Image:Octagon-warning.svg You have been blocked for eight hours for a violation of the three revert rule on Poincaré conjecture. Please familiarise yourself with the policy and note that any future violations would result in a much longer block. Robdurbar 17:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3rr block

hi mathslover

i see you were blocked recently for 3RR. it looks illegitimate to me. unfortunately I'm not an admin and can't do much about it but it looks like you're block wasn't too long.

after my own illegitimate block i've recently made a policy proposal change for 3RR. i'm not sure my suggested changes would have helped in your case, but the idea is spell things out more clearly so people aren't blocked unexpectedly or unfairly and don't end up bitter about wikipedia. you might have some of your own policy proprosal changes to make.

here are the proposals

comments are welcome. one thing to keep in mind -- admins can block, but wikipedia is not created for admins. editors should not be poked and prodded.
