What does this mean in the real world?

The esoteric discussion of theory seems to all be there in the Pentagram map. I note that some of the links make reference to NASA. Does it have applications? I don't mean to show my ignorance, but I am not part of the select group of scholars for whom this has meaning. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:43, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

WP:Orphan

In a related problem my search indicated that there were only four articles that linked to Pentagram map. So it may not literally be an orphan, but it i obscure and hidden. If there are more articles that we can link in with, it would be good. Ideally, these should be in link links, not just "see also"s. While it is a great stand alone article, ideally it would be better if it was more integrated into the rest of the encyclopedia -- IMHO.

I know that this elite group of scholars is very small, and they all are writing about it over and over.

However, I am thinking about the occasional reader who might chance upon this article. I assume that this is a matter of some import, at least for the beauty and symmetry of the proofs. See also Help:Drawing attention to new pages. I know I'm being a pain, and I apologize. But I think you (as the primary author) could benefit from a view by someone less intimately involved in your subject matter. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:45, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your very interesting and informative answer. That might be food for thought on expanding parts of the article. I think that your article is a vast improvement over the past iteration. It is really wonderful to engage a scholar of your reputation to add to Wikipedia. This was a tangible contribution, the qualitative shift deserves recognition.

I've been adding links to your references in the hope that this could be a hub for those who wanted to really learn something about the subject.

I've worn out my worth here, so you are on your own. Best regards and happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:37, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Our discussions might be worth putting on the talk page of the article. I have not taken the liberty of doing that, as I note that you have historically deleted the matters on your talk page (which is your privilege, it's your space). You might want to consider archiving the talk page discussions, rather than deleting them.

Nevertheless, my questions and your observations would be a fitting addition to the talk page of the article. The talk page of articles is frequently the most interesting part of an article, and can be very useful to well-attuned readers. I leave that decision in your hands. Au revoir. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:59, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Archive

I set this up on a very basic level. If you go to the User talk:Thehelpfulone, his talk page even has an index. If you go to User talk:Charles Edward his talk page has dates placed on each archive. I am sure there are more ways to do this, as there is more than one way to skin a cat. Hope this helps. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:15, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
