Welcome
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 me, 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!

Cheers, prime.mover (talk)

Scattered and all that
Wow - thanks for clearing up the issue I was having between "scattered" and "partially scattered". What it boils down to, then, is that it does not matter which definition is used for "scattered" (see the "drowning" template on the Definition:Scattered Space page).

What I'm tempted to do here is to merge the page you raised directly into the Scattered Space is Partially Scattered and use that as the main link from Definition:Scattered Space to demonstrate that the definition for Definition:Partially Scattered Space is not needed. So please bear with me if it looks like I'm rewriting all your stuff - there's a plan to what I'm doing here.

So thanks for that - you're a star. I believe we've got something documented here which hasn't been documented anywhere else on the Web. --prime mover 15:23, 19 August 2011 (CDT)

House Style
Oh yeah, and while I'm about it, note the house style. Please try to break your arguments up into simple sentences and put line breaks between each one. --prime mover 15:55, 19 August 2011 (CDT)

Changing the stated theorem
And another thing - I saw what you did on Compactness Properties Preserved under Continuous Mappings. The result as stated said nothing about $\phi$ being surjective. Therefore the result to be proved here should not assume surjectivity. I noticed this only after I'd gone about tidying it up.

If you want to raise another result which has different conditions, then feel free to do so - but it's a bad idea to change the statement of the result because it's easier to prove or something. Other results may rely on the statement in its original form.

If you have a disagreement with the way a statement has been made, e.g. you think it's actually wrong or something, then raise the matter in the talk page for that result and start a dialogue.

Carry on with stuff - you're ahead of me in this subject - but please try and make sure your stuff fits in with what goes before.--prime mover 16:16, 19 August 2011 (CDT)
