Become a great editor

edit

Being a member of the welcoming committee on Wikipedia I encourage you to help Wikipedia in any way you can to increase human knowledge. If you have credible information about a topic with verifiable references please feel free to add to that topic. If there is no article on that topic, why not start it, with time others will add to it and it may even make the featured articles list. By doing this, I have been able to make over 3000 page edits in both new articles, article improvement etc. Furthermore, I encourage you to aim to be a member of the autoconfirmed users[[1]] group as this will greatly improve your Wikipedia experience. You can do this by making at least 10 credible edits on Wikipedia and remaining on Wikipedia for four (4) days. Check out this page for tips. . Crosstemplejay talk . 16:37, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Developing your user page

edit

Wikipedia is a megalopolis and like in any city, interactions are very important. I recommend that you develop your user page so that people who visit your page may know your interests and share in them. It could be a single line telling others of not only your name but what you like or a complex page with every single thing that interests you on it. This is a great way of building up work groups that facilitate the sharing of expert knowledge on articles, talks etc. Happy building!!! . Crosstemplejay talk .16:45, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Crosstemplejay! Thank you --Solikkh (talk) 17:01, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

You are always welcome. Hope if I watch over you, there will be no problem. Happy being a wikipedian.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 17:38, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
I just looked at your user page and saw you had a PhD, that is great, I have an O.D, you can add user boxes from my page that show you level of programming. I programme for fun using VB.net.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 17:40, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Adding images

edit

Media files, be it images, drawings or sound files are an integral part of Wikipedia's articles. They apart from enriching articles, make them more credible too. You can add media files to both your new articles as well as once you are editing. To do so you can either upload an image using this file uploader or [commons uploader]. Please be informed that you must provide accurate information about the file being uploaded since they are reviewed and if if is found that the license given to the file is false, it will promptly be deleted. .

Spotting bad edits

edit

As you age on Wikipedia, one thing you will come across and probably address will the issue of bad edits or vandalism. There are several ways of spotting them:

  • by reviewing articles on your watchlist regularly and looking for bad edits
  • verifying new changes to pages and articles

If you happen to come across a bad edit you may:

  • ask an editor you trust to review the work for his/her inputs
  • you can rollback the change if you have credible information that the edit is indeed bad
  • request that the necessary change be made on the article's talk page.

Whatever you do, please be very careful about the changes you make, for a rule of thumb, discuss issues you are not sure of first before making changes. . Crosstemplejay talk . 17:40, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:GipPirKod.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:GipPirKod.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 03:15, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Given the nature of the images in question (from a published source) you will need to follow the instructions at WP:OTRS to get the copyright holder (not you) to prove the release of the copyright of the images according to Wikipedia requirements. Please go to WP:OTRS for the instructions. Skier Dude (talk) 01:42, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Quaternion base systems

edit

Hello, Solikkh, I read your article Complex base systems. From this I think it should be possible to construct a coding scheme for the quaternions as well. The base   seems to be an excellent candidate and the set of digits could possibly be   with   or another one. The following properties of the coding scheme are of interest:

  1. The Hurwitz quaternions should correspond to the representations without radix point.
  2. There should be a one-to-one correspondence, in other words: the coding should be non-redundant.
  3. Arithmetic should be about as easy as with complex numbers.

The desirability of properties is shown in decreasing order. -- Nomen4Omen (de:Benutzer_Diskussion:Nomen4Omen) 15:35, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • Hello, Nomen4Omen. I could not do it because for quaternion multiplication is not commutative.

The arithmetic does not work. But my goal was exactly to build arithmetic.--Solikkh (talk) 19:18, 16 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Solikkh, I was mainly interested in coding, i.e. Positional notation; and as far as I can see, it seems to work. But also the arithmetic seems to work with addition and multiplication tables. I would be very glad if you could have a look at it. I uploaded it in de:Hurwitzquaternion#Stellenwertsystem. It's in German, but it is mathematics, so it's easier to understand than poetry. -- Nomen4Omen (de:Benutzer_Diskussion:Nomen4Omen) 17:57, 17 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Dear Solikkh, I have another question: Have you got an algorithm for developping the code from a complex number, e.g. I=(I-1)+1 or 5=((((I-1)+1)*(I-1)+1)*(I-1)*(I-1)+1)*(I-1)*(I-1)*(I-1)*(I-1)+1.
In the quaternion matter, please don't hesitate to ask any question. -- Nomen4Omen (talk) 19:44, 25 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Dear Solikkh, you fully understood the question. I would like to get a look on your algorithm.
What I show in the article is an algorithm (called  ) which works only for integers (e.g. the Gaussian integers). (But it is extraordinarily simple.) From this it is, of course, possible to devise an algorithm which also works for fractions; but this appears quite complicated to me, at least compared to the other algorithm.
I would be very glad, if you could send it to me. Thank you very much. -- Nomen4Omen (talk) 18:36, 26 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
