Welcome!

Hello, Xenure, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

[edit] your essays about vectors and dimensions

I have reverted your essay about neurons, higher dimensions, abstraction, and models at tesseract, hypersphere, Minkowski space, and fourth dimension, because the material is not appropriate for the articles. I reverted your essay about vectors from Lagrangian mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics for similar reasons. If the material were shorter, conformed to our formatting norms, were added to the right articles, and better motivated and placed within the articles, it might find a home.

Can I also ask that you not mark edits as minor when they introduce large paragraphs and structural changes to articles?

Finally, the material you added to Xenure seems to be personal information about you. That stuff goes at User:Xenure, which is your personal userspace, which you can do what you like with (within reason). Xenure is article namespace, which should only contain encyclopedic material. I have moved the material for you.

Welcome to the project, and I hope my criticisms haven't offended you. -lethe talk + 10:39, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Hi, Xenure!

I just noticed the small change you recently made to Theorem 4. Thank you for doing that.

I hope you don't mind, but I changed the wording back, because the theorem was correctly stated before you edited it. You're right that the nth convergent is nearer the value of the continued fraction than any preceding convergent, in the simple continued fractions this article is discussing. But theorem 4 is making a more subtle point about the even and odd convergents. If you read it carefully, you will notice that x is defined to be the value of the nth convergent, and not the value of the continued fraction in the limit. So the change you introduced made the statement of the theorem inconsistent with the inequality displayed.

Thanks again for working to improve Wikipedia. If you want to, talk to me. DavidCBryant 12:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

PS I read some of the stuff you wrote about Minkowski space: the stuff someone else removed last April, explaining why people can't visualize 4-D space. It was cool! I think it's wonderful you're thinking about things like that, and the last thing I would ever want to do is stifle your creativity. Have a great day! DavidCBryant 12:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
