User talk:Ncik~enwiki

Hello Ncik, and welcome to Wikipedia if you are new here. I wanted to contact you because I do not understand the reasoning behind your edit of Stone-Weierstrass theorem. The previous version says that the Weierstrass approximation theorem states

Suppose f is a continuous real-valued function defined on the interval [a,b]. For every ε>0, there exists a polynomial function p with real coefficients such that for all x in [a,b], we have |f(x) - p(x)| < ε.

and you changed this in

Suppose f is a continuous complex-valued function defined on the interval [a,b]. For every ε>0, there exists a polynomial function p over C with real coefficients such that for all x in [a,b], we have |f(x) - p(x)| < ε.

As far as I remember, I have never seen your version. I think it is correct, but it does not add much to the real version. Furthermore, what does it mean that p is over C? I would be grateful if you could explain this to me. Do not hesitate to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. Cheers, Jitse Niesen 20:59, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

polynomial

Hi. I have noticed you separated the definition of norm_(mathematics) and normed vector space. I think this was a good move and I thought about doing it myself sooner or later. On the other hand I do not like your edits on the definition of polynomial. You made the definition too complicated for most people. An article like polynomials should be accessible to a wide range of people so it is better to give a simple and concrete definition first and later on provide a more abstract definition in another paragraph.MathMartin 13:45, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Torture

Hi, I noticed you reverted my change to the torture article. You said in your edit summary that I should put it in an article on the Professor. I don't think this is a good suggestion as the professor probably isn't notable enough to have his own article, and the paper was written by 2 professors, so should they both have articles with the same content? I am going to revert it back, and I would like it to be discussed on the talk page before it is removed again, as is the proper thing to do. I would like to know what other opinions are. It may be better somewhere else, say in a "legalising torture" article or something, but I felt when I added it that it is good to show that aspect of the issue for neutrality.

Dedekind sum

Hi,

On the 21st of November 2005, it looks like you added several incorrect formulas to the article Dedekind sum. Can you please review these edits, and discuss them at Talk:Dedekind sum? linas 18:21, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I apologize for the accusative tone, both I and the other fellow made two different types of errors. However, you may still want to review the results. linas 21:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden

Hi Ncik,

I noticed you recently created the article about the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. I just wanted to inform you that you can post any new Germany-related articles at Portal:Germany/New article announcements and Portal:Germany/New articles. Happy editing--Carabinieri ^T_T^a_a^l_l^k_k 11:40, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Germany

Hi Ncik,

User:Badbilltucker has proposed creating a WikiProject for articles related to Germany. Since you seem to contribute to Germany-related articles, I was wondering if you would be interested in helping with this project. If you want to know more about the proposal you can check the temporary project page or the List of proposed projects.--Carabinieri ^T_T^a_a^l_l^k_k 10:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rebecca Henriette Lejeune Dirichlet

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Rebecca Henriette Lejeune Dirichlet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 172.132.186.137 14:23, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ncik. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ncik~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
