User talk:Z423x5c6

Welcome to ProofWiki! Since you're new, you may want to check out the general help page. It's the best first stop to see how things are done (next to reading proofs, of course!). Please feel free to contribute to whichever area of mathematics interests you, either by adding new proofs, or fixing up existing ones. If you have any questions please feel free to contact one of the administrators, or post your question on the questions page.

Here are some useful pages to help get you started:
 * Community Portal - To see what needs to be done, and keep up to date with the community.
 * Recent Changes - To keep up with what's new, and what's being added.
 * Check out our house style if you are keen on contributing.
 * Main Page talk - This is where most of the main discussions regarding the direction of the site take place. If you have any ideas, please share them!

Section spacing within pages
It's a very small thing, but you've certainly noticed by now.

All pages on have (except for certain specialised instances) all got a double linefeed before each section heading. In every page that you have edited, you will have noticed that those pages have been edited after you, to put that extra line feed in the page.

This ensures a uniform presentation style throughout the website. We consider this to be an important feature of the site.

Many thanks for your co-operation. Your contributions are welcome, as they provide material which is not well-known, at least not at the undergraduate level. --prime mover (talk) 11:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the inconvenience I have caused. I will pay attention to that. Thank you =D --Z423x5c6 (talk) 13:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Refactoring
We have a "standing order" requesting that contributors do not involve themselves in the task of "refactoring". By this, I mean splitting pages up, and putting proofs into separate pages. Some contributors have a problem with this because for some reason they like to do it, but we are firm.

One of the reasons for this concerns the links in the Sources section at the bottom of the page. Contributors have in the past demonstrated that they have difficulty in understanding or motivation when it comes to making sure that the flow is consistent. In particular, note that the "next" link from Rising Sum of Binomial Coefficients from the "Murray R. Spiegel" source no longer goes to the next page in the "Spiegel" sequence, because it has been moved from Sum of Even Index Binomial Coefficients] to [[Sum of Even Index Binomial Coefficients/Proof 1 and so the flow has been broken.

Because it takes considerable effort and care to make sure that the flow is not compromised, we respectfully request that you please do not do any of this "refactoring", and instead (unless a page already has several sub-proofs on separate pages) just add further proofs on the same page, leaving it up to the administration team to split them up into subpages. In that way, we (and in particular, those who have direct access to the specific works which cite material held on these pages) may ensure that the flow is no longer compromised.

Note that it is not only that the links need to be updated to point to the particular (e.g.) "/Proof 1" page. It also needs to be determined whether the work in question actually documents that proof, or whether they just quote the result, in which case the citation link needs to stay on the original page.

So please, no more refactoring, at least until you have gained more familiarity with the system. --prime mover (talk) 12:08, 26 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry, Sir. Okay --Z423x5c6 (talk) 12:35, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
