Macaulay2

Thanks for voicing an opinion on the Macaulay2/Macaulay merge, and thanks for adding the sentence about packages. I moved that sentence up to the top section, where it seemed to go better than in History, and wrote the wrong thing in the edit summary ('contributors' should be 'packages). David Eisenbud I think should go under history, since he wasn't originally listed as a main developer, but now is. Anyway, I hope you aren't offended that I moved your sentence (or confused by my summary). I'm certainly not trying to violate [WP:OWN], and it goes without saying that you should make any other changes that you think are appropriate.

Related to the same article, do you think it was correct to upgrade the article rating to Start? (I'm not sure what the etiquette is for articles covered by a project with no formal rating policy.) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

• No problem, it looks better this way! I think the rating of "Start" seems appropriate now, though I'm not sure what the formal rating procedure is, either. I would also argue that the M2 article should be of mid-level importance, rather than low-level importance, as it is presently rated. But the case for such a rating may have to be enhanced further, e.g., by highlighting the sheer number of associated packages and contributors, the (relatively) large number of users, the continued NSF support, and the significant number of publications that quote M2 as an indispensable research/computational tool in the area.

Last questions

I do not know what it means to be an admin, and what it means to be a volunteer, but I went through hell to get someone to repair the damage on my biography page -- which was made by some troll whom they blocked 18 months ago, and who had an agenda against me, raising phony doubts. They simply went on in his track, pretended "verification" and "self-promotion", but would not make any search, leaving the page as it looked, damaged. I had to get really angry to get to talk to some halfways mature people: they did the repair, but of course, like in police, covered their younger colleagues. Briefly -- I remained quite disapointed of this environment, so I wanted to ask you: who is allowed to do what, and is there no practical way to get in touch directly with a mature and responsible person, when all kind of button-players seem to miss the point, but enjoy sending you to read all of the unrelated policies? Briefly: is there some escalation line, help line or similar, how does one get competent attitude, in this world? I would be grateful for some simple hints. Thanks!

PMPredaMi (talk) 20:49, 22 January 2020 (UTC) (Continuation of : Hello, Mr Turgidson,

I contact you since I have seen you are one of the last having done something on my Wiki page, which has been totally messed up. I do not know who is responsible for the vandalism, nore when this vandalism happened, since I do not visit often my own Wiki page; I do not even know if there is anyone responsible, and I would like indeed to know. I wish my page to be restaured to its normal state which it has since 15 years, and vandalism be blocked somehow. Or if nobody is responsible for blocking vandalism, let me know.

Hoping you can help me find an answer, I thank you in advance

Hi again -- Sorry, I do not know how to let you know I talk to you, other than writing here. My page was a normal functional one, with a picture and normal text, for 15 years. Now someone signaled me, it is a wreck -- and I see that there was a troll Skywalker or so, who boycotted it, and he was then removed, but the page was never restored. What the huck of an organisation is this. When it come to censoring a contribution which says things someone does not love to hear, Wiki immediately reacts. But when it comes to restore after vandalism, nobody around... Is it not possible to restore back to the FUNCTIONING condition before Skywalker jumped it? I talked to you, since my gut feeling was right -- at least you are a mathematician, I do not know what function you have here or so. So if your are not the right person, do not take it wrong - I simply want my personal page restored in a decent condition, how it has been around for 15 years. No restore facility around? Or did he succeed to destroy the backlog file?

Happy you liked the Catalan talk -- you should come to China, there I give in March talks on recent work :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by PredaMi (talk • contribs) 20:06, 14 January 2020 (UTC) )

Hello

Salut poti sa contribui la Romanian language la Early history sunt ceva probleme. La Other influences cineva a adaugat: "Additionally, the Romani language has provided a series of slang words to Romanian such as: mișto "good, beautiful, cool" < mišto,[101] gagică "girlie, girlfriend" < gadji, a hali "to devour" < halo, mandea "yours truly" < mande, a mangli "to pilfer" < manglo". Sunt multe prostii fara sens care n-au ce cauta.
