[edit] Closure of Siberian Wikipedia

Oppose. Siberian Wikipedia is a marvellous creative endeavour, its destruction is a disgusting act of cowardice and vandalism. Especially so, because it is politically motivated. The fascistic crowd cheering destruction of this Wiki would be just as happy at Nazi rallies, burning books. -- Tiphareth 00:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Katyn censorship

Simply put, there is no need for a seperate section on 'Katyn denial' - it is discussed throughout the article. You are welcome to add information to it, particularly the last section which already mentions various attempts of denial, but adding a new section just with that example is not improving the overall style of the article. Also, you may want to be careful with accusing others of 'censorship' and 'bad faith', per WP:NPA and WP:AGF.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  00:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


Dear Piotrus, thank you for your message.

>Also, you may want to be careful
>with accusing others of 'censorship'

As I said to you, I am not going to go into deletion
wars with you, so your threats lack a point.

>Simply put, there is no need for a seperate section on
>'Katyn denial' - it is discussed throughout the article.

It's "separate". And you did not remove the section,
you removed everything. Quote, unquote:

Russian dissident
writer Yu.I. Mukhin (an editor of a radical
newspaper Duel) wrote a book "Katyn Detective"
("Катынский детектив") purporting to show that all
documents of Katyn massacre are in fact forgeries.
This theory is refuted on the site КАТЫНЬ.

This is what you deleted. If that's not censorship,
I don't know what is.

Anyway, they do have the "Holocaust denial" section
in Holocaust. Your attempt to expunge the mention of
dissent in Katyn pages looks like someone would go and
remove all mention of Holocaust denial from Holocaust
pages. It makes your point a way less credible.

Best regards

Although you've been here 6 months, I see no one actually said "welcome" yet, so, belatedly:

[edit] Hi, Tiphareth!

Hi, Tiphareth! Welcome to Wikipedia!

I just reviewed your article Hall's universal group. I made a few tiny changes related to English idiom. It's a good article. Thank you! DavidCBryant 12:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Effort on algebras

Hi - looks like there's a lot of work to do here, in getting the existing articles on certain algebras brought into a better form. Also, as you point out, we need to prepare them for future new articles. By the way, last year in July I rewrote the hypercomplex number article, and in doing some background investigation I came by the hypercomplex.ru group. It appears that some of your terminology and wording is similar to what is in use there. Related or not, I thank you for the heads-up on para-quaternionic geometry! Please don't hesitate to let me/us know if there's anything else to expect. You may want to have a look at the hypercomplex number article and update it if you feel like it. The article is currently a bit unordered (but contains good content), and it would be a good time to add more content to it (i.e. before restructuring it).

Just FYI - I've created a personal sandbox here, about the articles I'm interested in updating, and it surely is a long list. Oh well, the summer is long, I guess ... Thanks again, Jens Koeplinger 01:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Subharmonic function

Hi Tiphareth. Thank you for adding a section on subharmonic functions on manifolds to Subharmonic function. I moved it to the bottom since I think that the case of the complex plane should be treated first, since it is simpler.

I have a note. It is good that you don't break lines of text when editing, but rather rely on the browser to do wrap lines around. If you insert newlines in text, the wikitext looks kind of odd on the screen of people who have an editing box of different width.

Also, by laplacian, did you mean the Laplace-DeRham operator in the section on manifolds? Thanks. You can reply here. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Cool, thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] (Pseudo)science in Russia

Dear Tiphareth, could you please pay attention to Russian Academy of Sciences, Rosnanotekh, Mikhail Kovalchuk and others from time to time? As of now the articles are not very insightful, and the situation is getting worse, as there are likely to be many wikipedians trying hard to keep English Wiki as sterile as the Russian one. You seem to have a lot to say on the subject, so please get involved. Colchicum 12:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I will try. Though it's not likely to help, I'm afraid - - the political lobbying and cronyism seems to be all-powerful in WP, especially in all issues related to Russia Tiphareth 18:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
