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

I sincerely encourage you to consider whether you might want to familiarise yourself with the $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ house style.

This can be done in both of the following two ways:

1) reading the house style guide
2) reading other pages on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ and emulating what you find.

To the above I would add: and by examining changes made to pages you provide in order to see the sort of changes that have been made in order to ensure those pages are compliant.

While I suspect it is unreasonable for us to ask that everything is in perfect compliance right from the off, I contend that it would be acceptable to at least expect the general structuring of your work to comply stylistically with our standard style.

Many thanks for your cooperation. --prime mover (talk) 09:06, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

A word of advice

Since you seem to take many edits to get a page right, many of a trivial nature, I suggest you start the habit of developing your pages in a sandbox.

That way you are less likely to get your edits accidentally reversed out by someone coming along trying to tidy up the stuff you leave behind.

I reiterate my plea for you to learn house style and philosophy. This is nothing more than good manners. --prime mover (talk) 13:45, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Good idea! Thanks. --Hbghlyj (talk) 13:46, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
I reiterate my plea for you to set up a sandbox in your account and use that. Any edits you make are in danger of being accidentally reverted. --prime mover (talk) 14:31, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Oh, I was using the public sandbox [1] --Hbghlyj (talk) 14:32, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Yes I see you started to. Not recommended because other people use it, and unless it's for something quick and ephemeral to try out stuff, you could find it gets compromised.
Ok, I created the page User:Hbghlyj/Sandbox. I will use it. --Hbghlyj (talk) 14:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
That is indeed the optimum practice. --prime mover (talk) 14:46, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

strategy

Do you actually have a strategy, or are you posting at random? --prime mover (talk) 15:42, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Lagrange's Theorem

I have added the infrastructure for an example page on Lagrange's Theorem, into which you are invited to enter your observation about solutions in $\Z_8$.

While it is house style not to include extraneous material to a proof in the proof page itself, the "Examples" paradigm has proven completely adequate for this sort of expansion of an idea, and you are welcome to use it. --prime mover (talk) 20:34, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I see. --Hbghlyj (talk) 21:38, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

A word of advice again

You are still not using a sandbox. May I ask why? Do you need help understanding how to do this? --prime mover (talk) 19:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't use sandbox since I was transcribing a proof from StackExchange. I will use it when I craft a proof by myself. --Hbghlyj (talk) 20:04, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
You still made sixty thousand edits on it. This makes monitoring this site very much more difficult. It may mean nothing to you, but it's common courtesy. --prime mover (talk) 20:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Oh, I see. I will use it when I transcribe a proof. --Hbghlyj (talk) 20:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

A sanction

Sorry but I did say, please use a sandbox. The material you are adding is all well and good, but please take care. --prime mover (talk) 17:29, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

You are still not using a sandbox, and posting up material which is substandard.
If you still refuse to do this, I regret that I may be obliged to block you temporarily, while you practise writing pages to your own user area.
In the meantime, please note that further seriously substandard content will, again regrettably, be rolled back or otherwise removed. --prime mover (talk) 22:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
I'm using the preview button, which I think does the same job as the sandbox. --Hbghlyj (talk) 10:12, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Edit conflict

When I submit an edit that causes a conflict, the MediaWiki software provides a screen that allows me to resolve the conflict manually.

I think, for other users, when this happens, they will also see the Wikimedia "edit conflict" page.

But I see that some of my edits were accidentally reverted. Why?

I guess that some users can't see the Wikimedia "edit conflict" page, so they will submit directly and overwrite my edit.

Wasn't accidental. --prime mover (talk) 22:06, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
