Great to see you at the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary Meet-up

edit

Hi, SixWingedSeraph,

I was glad to meet you yesterday, as I saw in advance of the meet-up that you have deep professional experience in a subject (mathematics), that I am learning more and more as I teach it at the prelgebra level to learners in a program for gifted third through fifth graders. I like to get into big ideas like Hilbert's Hotel and Archimedes counting how many grains of sand would fill the universe when I teach my students. I think I could learn about you that would help upgrade the two now-shortest source lists I maintain to share with Wikipedians trying to upgrade the sourcing of articles. Your suggestions for those would be very welcome. I hope we'll see each other again sometime soon. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 22:12, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
