Weird misuse of TeX in Abstract family of acceptors.

Compare $(\Gamma ,I,f,g)$ to ($\Gamma$, $I$, $f$, $g$). Both are legitimate uses of TeX. Which is more readable? In the browsers I checked (Safari and Firefox on Mac, Safari and IE on Windows), it is the latter, i.e. the one you say contains "a weird misuse of Tex". I prefer not to have the commas jammed against the next symbol making it more difficult for my old eyes. The formatting instructions for the former may be simpler, but I always err on the side of legibility when publishing a paper. I assumed legibility was important on the web and Wikipedia also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vantelimus (talk • contribs) 13:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

They certainly do not look jammed against anything in TeX on the browsers I've looked at them with: both Firefox on Windows and Seamonkey (formerly Mozilla) on Linux. But the latter version looks badly misaligned---some character higher and others lower---and the two bounding parentheses that are not in TeX look jammed against the two adjacent characters. I am the foremost champion of legibility on Wikipedia and possibly the only Wikipedia in whose edit history you will frequently find the word legibility in edit summaries; in many cases that word has been my whole edit summary. When people write the ordered pair (a,b), I often change it to (a, b) both for the sake of legibility and for the sake of making non-TeX mathematical notation match TeX style as closely as possible. Generally I prefer to avoid "inline" TeX on Wikipedia because on the browsers I've used, inline TeX often looks far bigger than the surrounding letters and often gets placed too high or too low rather than properly centered.

WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Vantelimus! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

No problem, I figured it was a typo. It's a nice infobox. Happy editing. --Bobak (talk) 15:49, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

UC wikiproject

Oh, it's a pretty loose group, with very few members: Wikipedia:WikiProject University of California. Very little effort has gone into structuring the project itself... I've gone ahead and added you to the page as a participant; feel free to make any proposals or raise any concerns there. Great work on the university rankings infobox, btw.

Thanks. Beats having to revert countless kids who view US News as the bible. Amerique^dialectics 23:29, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:The Roches - hifive.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:The Roches - hifive.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:17, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Fixing the Ivy League

Thanks for finding a dead link. However, just because the URL doesn't resolve now doesn't mean it didn't and that the material it supported is suddenly questionable. More polite to just add a {{deadlink}} tag for a while, give others a chance to see if there's an alternate source available for the given cite. See WP:DEADLINK for more info.
