Untitled
editI removed the prod. Richard Ruscsyk is definitely notable in the world of math education; I found his AoPS quite useful and inspiring when teaching math in an enrichment academy last year. His basic approach to talented students is different from the conventional one of giving them the same material but more quickly ("accelerated courses"), and, I think, much more sound. Dumbed-down material delivered at twice the normal rate is still dumb. Ruscsyk instead engages talented students with truly more difficult material by encouraging them to participate in competitive math contests. This approach seems to be gaining popularity, and as far as I have been able to tell, Richard Ruscsyk is its leading exponent.--OinkOink 17:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Sentence
editThe sentence "Art of Problem Solving has many features, including Alcumus, For The Win!, and online classes" seems out of place. Walle1357 (talk) 18:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
aops.com section issues
editI think the content of the aops.com section should not be its own section. It should perhaps be in a subsection of the Art of Problem Solving section. Also, the aops.com section does not cite any sources. Unfortunately, the Art of Problem Solving section also needs more sources. Thoughts on creating a subsection of the section on The Art of Problem Solving just for the website? MTardigradum (talk) 01:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I second this; I think AoPS should be separated to form its own section. Shadow of the Starlit Sky (talk) 02:55, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- I have made a new AoPS page, maybe move information there? Aspection (talk) 17:36, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- (note: I was Shadow of the Starlit Sky before, I just changed my username) I've looked over the page you created and tagged it for improvement as it lacks secondary, independent sources that are needed to establish notability. Please try to improve it if you can. #prodraxis connect 17:40, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the information! Aspection (talk) 18:01, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Sources for notability and more biographical details
editRichard Rusczyk has received enough independent press coverage that I am comfortable with removing the notability tag from the article. I'll paste in here links to sources any of us can use to update the article.

Move to Art of Problem Solving
editI think that some of the information about him should be moved to the newly created Art of Problem Solving Page. Any comments on how to do that would be helpful. Aspection (talk) 17:35, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
