Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Pau Sabater has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bwordpress\.com (links: http://maxaue.wordpress.com/tag/besoncle).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 10:04, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re this edit: you do realize that spaces inside <math> have absolutely no effect on what the formula looks like to readers, right? —David Eppstein (talk) 05:11, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Roger Paman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Hartley. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I always wonder why those who accept proposed articles leave inappropriate titles intact. Obviously the word "The" should not be there, and there should be an en-dash rather than a hyphen, i.e. Cramer–Castillon rather than Cramer-Castillon. I see that the article now exists under the appropriate title, Cramer–Castillon problem. Whoever moved it to the article space ought to have changed the title at the time of the move. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:42, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Michael Hardy: I don't know why, but the article was never named The Cramer–Castillon problem: the only renaming in the article is to change the hyphen by an en-dash (see the history). This last is my fault, but I'm not using an english keyboard. I take note for following contributions. Thanks.--Ferran Mir (talk) 10:17, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The standard keyboard does not have the en-dash, but there are two ways to insert it without it's being on the keyboard: (1) use the "insert" menu below the editing window, and (2) write an ampersand followed by ndash;. Michael Hardy (talk) 17:39, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Cristobal Lechuga requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —S Marshall T/C 22:44, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@S Marshall: Thanks! I think that other administrator, @DGG:, has solved the problem arranging the translation--Ferran Mir (talk) 09:19, 21 January 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Please be more careful when you translate articles from other WPs. You should do baic cleanup yourself, not rely on others. As a minimum, run an English-language spelling corrector. Covert the present tense when used to describe events into thep past tense: in English we do not say He graduates from college, and then works as a ... But He graduated from college, and then worked...., or After graduating from college, he worked ... --not the present, as some other languages do-- it is this in particular that gives the impression of unedited machine translations. I've done some of these corrections on some of your earlier articles. DGG ( talk ) 05:27, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@DGG: Thanks for your advice. I'll try to be more careful, when I translate articles. Thanks also by your corrections. --Ferran Mir (talk) 09:22, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please look at this edit. The occasion for notability, justifying the existence of a Wikipedia article, should be at the beginning of the article, before going into biographical details. Michael Hardy (talk) 19:44, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please note this edit. Ranges of years and ranges of pages use an en-dash, not a hyphen. Michael Hardy (talk) 17:31, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Michael Hardy: Sorry, I know the rule. But I'm writing on a non English keyboard, with no en-dash key. Sorry.--Ferran Mir (talk) 19:31, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ferran Mir: I also lack an en-dash key. But when I click on "edit" I find an "Insert" menu just below the editing window, and I can click on an en-dash there. Michael Hardy (talk) 05:44, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Michael Hardy: OK. I will do my best next time.--Ferran Mir (talk) 07:41, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Your bibliography and external links sections are quite redundant to the citations. Per WP:ELNO, external links should offer different content than citations, and not contain information that would be found in a high quality Wikipedia article.

To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.

--Animalparty! (talk) 17:13, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Animalparty:

I do not understand you: the citacions are referred to the bibliography or the external links.

WP:ELNO is a list of external links to avoid. I suppose that MacTutor History of Mathematics archive is not a link to avoid: it is used in a lot of mathematicians biographies.

Hi @Hughesdarren:: It's true that John Alexander Third is not a well known academic. But I think he meets some of the criteria of notability under WP:NACADEMIC:

• Criteria 3 and 6: JA Third not only was member of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society from 1897, but he also was his president from 1902.
• Criteria 1: He published not less than 8 papers in the Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society. See list here
• Finaly, the university of Aberdeen awards the DR. J A THIRD PRIZE every year. See the list of last recipients here

So, I think JA Third meets enough notability.--Ferran Mir (talk) 15:59, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ernst Julius Amberg is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ernst Julius Amberg until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Dom from Paris (talk) 17:02, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
