User talk:Julius

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!

House style
While your contributions are useful, you are encouraged to make an attempt to pick up on house style.

While I appreciate that you are already familiar with $\LaTeX$ and MediaWiki, and have developed your own coding style, it is different from the house style of presentation that we strongly adhere to on.

You may be able to perceive stylistic differences between the pages you are generating and those which already exist on the website.

It is also expected that every concept is linked internally to a definition page. The reason for this becomes obvious as you become familiar with our ultimate philosophy.

Please feel free to take advantage of this advice.

Many thanks in advance. --prime mover (talk) 09:01, 29 January 2017 (EST)


 * Thank you for the notification. Indeed I am aware of the differences. They arise partially from focusing on the volume of presented material regarding the target branch of mathematics first, to fulfil encyclopaedical aspect of this website. Coding differences come mostly from my own habits, and that will take some time to adjust. The presentation of material could be improved, and I am planning that as soon as the material by Gelfand has been covered. Most of divergence from the house rules come from the fact that I am trying to limit my time spent here (it's almost too easy too lose track of time while surfing and improving this website) while maximizing the volume of contribution. Another culprit are the proofs themselves. Due to brevity they are lacking some nonobvious steps, which still explanation, and the lack of these slightly demotivates proper phrasing as it is not clear how much adjustment a reasonable chunk of material will require. As for linking every concept I believe I am linking everything on the given page at least once, but I will check upon that. I will attempt to staying closer to the house rules, at least when it comes to coding. As for style of presentation, that probably will get improved by iterative reexamination.
