External link suggestion for "Equivalence of Definitions of Ellipse"
Maybe you could consider adding a link on the page Equivalence of Definitions of Ellipse to a "pure" geometric proof that can be found here http://www.lucamoroni.it/ellipse-geometric-proof-equivalent-definitions-foci-directrix/ It's a different approach to showing the equivalence of the definition of the ellipse based on purely plane geometry arguments and I think it could fit well (as a complement) in the Ellipse page of Proof Wiki.


 * Alternatively you may wish to add the proof yourself -- we don't link to proofs, we include them complete.


 * Incidentally, please sign your posts. --prime mover (talk) 15:23, 20 November 2016 (EST)

Length of Arc of Cycloid/Proof 2
I found the main part of the proof here, but I quite believe it's lacking some common sense. We need a much clearer sketch than this. Simcha Waldman (talk) 07:05, 21 November 2016 (EST)

Template Request: R
I will be using graphs generated in R in the future. It would be a good idea to have a template for citation. Something like you did for me with Template:TarskiGeometryCitation. Something like.

However, the citation format recommended is quite verbose, and I think it would add clutter to have the whole thing on every page. So I'm not sure what to do, and would like your input.

The recommended citation for any R code is:

R Core Team (2016). R: A language and environment for statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria. URL https://www.R-project.org/.

And the package I will be using almost exclusively to generate graphs will be ggplot2:

H. Wickham. ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis. Springer-Verlag New York, 2009.

Once I see how you do it, hopefully I can figure out how to add citations for different packages I might use, by mimicking. --GFauxPas (talk) 14:26, 1 December 2016 (EST)


 * Can you give me an example of how you believe it should be used? Like, put a page together that uses it? --prime mover (talk) 16:55, 1 December 2016 (EST)


 * I'm working on it. I'm using it to draw contours for contour integration. --GFauxPas (talk) 19:21, 1 December 2016 (EST)
