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!

Recent edit

Many thanks for your correction to our Fermat's Two Squares Theorem‎. I found the discussion on Reddit by googling Kepsilon19 and note the concern over the fact that editing pages on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ requires a more-than-usually complicated account validation procedure. This is because we had a very bad problem some 3 years ago where the spambots routinely foiled our Captcha techniques, and we were overrun by spam. So in order to fix this, we set up a formal process whereby a would-be editor applies to get an account by posting up a brief résumé and a link to a webpage. This is usually sufficient, but even now there have been cases where we have inadvertently set up accounts for what seems like a legitimate mathematician, only to be showered with spam once more. Hope that makes it clear.

I may put the above in an FAQ page, as it has been remarked upon before. --prime mover (talk) 19:11, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, prime mover. In fact, it's me who should thank you for all your efforts done for $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$. This site is a great resource for the community, and helped me a lot of times. Hopefully, the spam problem will go away someday :)
Your appreciation, in turn, is appreciated. We rarely get positive feedback. It makes us feel it is worth our while to have spent the effort on it. I am delighted we are discussed on Reddit. Please feel free to continue to hunt down and eliminate mistakes such as this one. Every improvement is a worthwhile one. --prime mover (talk) 20:23, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
