You do not need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! --Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 04:35, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Pagemove

 * To see what is in your userspace click here

Here are two wikitext scripts that you can use to keep track of subpages in your userspace.

creates a page called My subpages

creates a list of all subpages in your userspace.

Keep in mind that these two scripts here on this talk page, and on your user page User:. They won't work on most Wikiversity pages.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 06:28, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Moved page into draft space
I moved Draft:Linear_algebra/Introduction into draft space. It's a good start, but you need to add examples to make it useful to students. Please finish! We could add it to a list of numerical examples that students might find helpful. Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 14:33, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

When cancelling your statements at discussions
I suggest you strike out your comments rather than blanking. This can be done as example ( example ). In this way, it is easier to check the history of the talk page. I hope this can help you. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 12:34, 21 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I assume that 'blanking' means to delete a comment? Username142857 (discuss • contribs) 15:22, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, in this context it means deleting words on a page, and then hitting the save button. You can also blank a page by deleting everything on a page, and then hitting "save". In all cases, the words are preserved in the history of a page.  In wikiworld "delete" usually means a process by which even the history page shows nothing; only administrators can do that.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 18:52, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
 * They can do that?! Username142857 (discuss • contribs) 03:09, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Surreal numbers
Greetings, FYI, I placed Surreal numbers to WV:RFD. You can discuss the page there if you wish. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:14, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Moving your pages into a project
Hi! I am a fellow lover of mathematics (especially mathematical physics). Wikiversity is making an effort to better organize our pages, and two pages of yours need a "home", like perhaps under Number Theory. As an example of my efforts, see Physics/Essays and Physics/A. The latter is where I like to put my projects. With your short an nifty username, I suggest Number Theory/142857. You can respond right here and we can discuss this further.... PS: I like Decadic numbers and Surreal numbers.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 10:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

I need to apologize
Looking back into the various histories of pages, I noticed that I have dealt with you before. We have a procedure for deleting low-quality pages, and I found myself moderating discussions on whether pages should be deleted. All of my interference with your work was actually motivated by an effort to ensure that one or two people don't delete one of your pages. Finally I put my foot down (and subsequently might find myself disassociated from the committee.) You may remove any announcements regarding the location of your pages. Better yet, ask me to.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 13:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)


 * It's fine. I was trying to figure out myself if some of my worse pages should be deleted, or if they could be salvaged Username142857 (discuss • contribs) 02:10, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Candidates for Custodianship/MathXplore‎
Your latest actions on this page no longer remain in the scope of the CFC discussion. Therefore, I have reverted your actions. If you have any further questions about me, please send them to my talk page. From now on, I will answer your latest questions on this page. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 04:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Rollback
Please read this to learn about the rollback feature in general. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 04:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Answers to special:diff/2618170 and special:diff/2618171
b) There is a simple English Wikimedia movement because many users believe that "simple English" is well-defined, while others are not accepted because the global community does not believe that a simplified form of the respective language is established. For example, please see m:Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Simple German 4 and m:Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Simple Spanish 3. You may also want to read the m:Language proposal policy. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 04:10, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * c) In general, creation of books is business, and creation of textbooks is a business that needs specific expertise. If the publisher believes that the books are not beneficial for their business, then they may choose not to make a book. In addition, creation of textbooks need specific knowledge in the respective field. If the publisher does not have knowledge, and cannot hire an expert for the textbook, then there is no way to make a textbook. I hope these can help you. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 04:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

(General reminder) Please respect the scope of each discussion venue
Please understand that each discussion venue has its scope. For example, Candidates for Custodianship is a place to discuss Wikiversity custodianship/curatorship. It is not a place to discuss things outside Wikiversity (except cross-wiki incidents involving Wikiversity). Similarly, Wikiversity talk:Custodianship is a place to discuss custodianship policies and their documentation, it is not a place to discuss Wikipedia. Please remember that any editor who thinks the talk page is used beyond the scope may cancel such off-topic actions. I hope this can help your further compliance. Thank you for your attention.

Answer to special:diff/2631774
Please read special:permalink/2612077. Additional questions can be sent to User talk:Omphalographer, who made this suggestion and knows more than me. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 15:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

(Caution) Please avoid editing talk page archives or closed discussions
In general, your edits like special:diff/2631774 and special:diff/2618170 will be reverted. This is because archives aim to save past discussions, and they are not a place to start new discussions. In other words, you are expected to follow the instructions from Template:Archive top. If you think an archive or a closed discussion needs further edits, please contact custodians via WV:RCA. This is your 2nd occasion this year to receive notices about talk page usage. You may want to read Talkpage guideline for your further understanding. Please also note that repeating issues again and again is unacceptable, and custodians are allowed to remove such users from Wikiversity when applicable (WV:CUST/B, Blocking policy). MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 15:13, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

(Caution) Please provide very good reasons when re-opening closed discussions
Edits like special:diff/2631774 and special:diff/2618170 can be considered as an attempt to re-open closed discussions. In other words, you are challenging against community consensus (Consensus). If you are going to do this in the future, please provide a very good reason and supporting evidence to do so. Typical reasons for re-discussion include Canvassing, w:WP:MEAT, w:Wikipedia:Tag team, w:WP:ILLEGIT, discussion closed too fast, votes are not counted correctly, etc. Please also note that requesting discussion/re-discussion without a good reason can be ignored/reverted. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 15:24, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

(Caution) Please do research by yourself before asking more questions
This can help everyone save time. By doing this, you can easily avoid questions like Special:Diff/2611312. If you are just browsing Wikiversity content to learn, then that is OK per What_is_Wikiversity%3F, but asking questions means you have to consume the time of others. You must not waste your previous lessons at enwiki (w:special:diff/1073391896). It is a different project, but the same advice would be effective here. MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 15:35, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

(Caution) Please avoid cross-wiki abuse
According to w:special:diff/1073391896, at least one enwiki experienced editor believes that the other editors are tired to waste their time to read and answer your non-useful edits., and I do not recognize compelling objections at w:User talk:Username142857 to this assessment. Today, at least I believe your actions at Wikiversity are very similar to the previous enwiki assessment. In general, the global community has limited tolerance for users repeating issues at multiple projects. Users repeating issues at multiple projects may be labeled as "cross-wiki abuse", and such behavior may allow m:Stewards to take further actions (m:Global locks). Per w:User talk:Username142857, I assume that you have learned enough about Wikimedia in general, and you are expected not to repeat more mistakes. ( as my mentor, your feedback is welcome here) MathXplore (discuss • contribs) 15:49, 8 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm scared that this will be the reply that tips me over to a global ban, but I still don't understand some things. I should probably get a mentor after taking a wikibreak... Username142857 (discuss • contribs) 17:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * A short wikibreak (during which you read discussions and follow interactions between participants here) might be a good idea. If you'd like a mentor to help you participate in a constructive manner you can place a request at Colloquium. --mikeu talk 14:14, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
