User talk:EvaristeGalois

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!

Amending and replacing proofs
For future reference, please be informed that "essentially changing the whole thing" makes it a different proof.

If an existing partial proof is completely a non-starter, and there is no way to complete it using the approach laid down, then put a message in the talk page explaining your reasons for believing that.

If you just have a different idea of which direction to take the proof, and it ends up being completely different, then put it on a new page.

The aim is to document as many different proofs and approaches to a problem as possible (for a movable definition of "different", of course).

Work is to take place to reinstate the original Proof 2 and add yours as another proof.

At the moment, or course, the page you wrote is non-compliant, as you will no doubt be aware, having studied the house style guide. So that will also need to be attended to.

Many thanks for your co-operation and continued contribution. --prime mover (talk) 10:13, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
