[edit] Hi!

I see you ain't no newbie to Petri nets (I read your webpage). It would be great to make the article featured (i.e. really good). I am the current editor of the article: I have made 99% of it, if not all. I would really like if you read through it, and made edits, or just notes (though don't be afraid to edit!). Your feedback is much welcome! (ps: www.petriweb.org could feature a link to the article, too, if the article gets better ;) ) Msoos 17:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Of course the Petri nets article is on my watch list; I also made a couple of minor contributions early on. The article can indeed be improved a lot, but since I am only a software developer, not a researcher on Petri nets, I hesitate to step in and make big changes. I will do my best to make smaller contributions, starting on the talk page. Rp 18:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Thx for the replies. I will rewrite the Petri Net article just as you suggested: without place capacities in the definition. In fact, I studied the thing without place capacities in the original definition, but since in the article the definition already had, I was afraid to touch that part. The time has come to do revolutionise the article, it seems :) Msoos 16:34, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another note

I just thought that you might be interested in this thing that a friend of mine is doing in Budapest's University of Technology and Economics (Hungary's foremost technical university). He and this PhD student are developing this app, that would parse up an XML that describes a process algebra (e.g. petri net or UML), i.e. the description of the algebra, then parses up the actual model (i.e. a program written in petri net or UML) and executes it. It's all done with some "Petri net transformation" technique, or what. It sounds *really* interesting, and the guy ain't no stupid guy - he was the winner of Hungary's maths championship for years on end, and he is an expert programmer (I mean the professor in the uni did not believe his eyes when he saw him). Anyways, if you are interested, I would be happy to provide you with some info on the project (contacts, etc.). About a year ago they had 300'000 lines of code done, so it's serious.

Well (not sure where to put my reply) this can potentially be very interesting. We are working on Petri net transformations and conversions to and from other formalisms, including process algebras, but work has been done on that by others since at least the late 1970s, so just the idea of doing this isn't new or interesting by itself.

[edit] A question about your recent edit to the CFG

I have a question about the recent changes made to the Article Context Free Grammar (CFG). Since every CFG can be mathematically transformed to the Chomsky Normal Form in which every rule starts with a single variable (non-terminal), why is it necessary to define CFG in such a way that would not allow any terminal to appear on the left side of a rule? Doesn't this severely limit the scope of a CFG? --CBKAtTopsails 16:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Never Mind

Sorry, got confused about Context Free Grammar with Grammar. --CBKAtTopsails 17:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] My Mistake

While I was doing editing on CFG, my mind was thinking about G (grammar) which allows terminals to appear on the left side. --CBKAtTopsails 14:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I don't know

...but it should have citations; all articles should.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 13:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Spam in CCFinder

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on CCFinder, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting CCFinder, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Note on Formal Language Article

I have responded to your post in the Talk:Formal_language discussion page on the article. Hermel (talk) 21:18, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Yasper

An editor has nominated Yasper, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yasper and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 17:59, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request to move article Domain specific programming language incomplete

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Domain specific programming language to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:

  1. Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
  2. Added {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved, to automatically create a discussion section there.
  3. Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 00:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Freeciv

I noticed you added

At least one of its past champions has a page on Wikipedia.

to Freeciv, are you referring to yourself? MrMacMan Talk 07:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

No. I was never a very good player, but I've seen a lot of games. Besides, I only have a user page in Wikipedia. Rp (talk) 12:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
