: October 2008, indeed. Short answer is, well, yes, I should try it. A longer story is that at some point article listings in the categories on the wiki became quite incomplete. This resulted in inconsistencies in stats so that I had to stop.  Now, I've just checked and it seems that the listings agree with article counts (so it should work).

Sending a quick ‘hello’ out to all of you who wanted a weekend write-a-thon.  Also, a nudge, push, and a shove to all those who haven’t made it out in a while.

== Big O notation ==
== thx ==


Alex, I see your request to move [[Big O notation]] to [[Big O notation(computer science)]]. Are we looking to make another as well, [[Big O notation(mathematics)]]? Do we have a plan for disambiguation for [[Big O notation]] or just redirect to [[Big O notation(computer science)]]. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D.

Thanks for your long-time contributions on CZ's statistics. We are all looking forward to some point in the future when the line graph goes up exponentially. ([[User:Chunbum Park|Chunbum Park]] 22:51, 15 October 2011 (UTC))


''Now, I propose
== Thank you, Aleksander ==
* moving "Big O notation" to "Complexity of algorithms" (would appreciate comments from computer workgroup members). Just look at "see also" section at the bottom the article - "complexity theory" is where it really belongs in.
* deleting the resulting redirect "Big O notation". This will be something different.''


Okay, if I move this to [[Complexity of algorithms]], would you be the one to clean it up, or do we need to get a computer science member involved now? --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 17:05, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
Aleksander: Thank you for your consistent efforts to keep us quantitatively informed about how Citizendium is doing, in your amazing article/page, [[CZ:Statistics]].


As you are a math author, would you consider discussing one of these [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Category:Mathematics_Editors two guys] to see if they have a problem with your idea.  If they don't respond, I will go with your suggestion for Big O. Then I will ask [[User:Robert Tito]] as a computer science editor to join us in the discussion for the [[Complexity of algorithms]]. Sound good? --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D.

AlekStos, I performed the move to [[Complexity of algorithms]] and deleted the redirect from [[Big O notation]] though I suppose you could have done that. Do please, add some content befoer someone nominates it for deletion in any cleanup function!  Thanks for you patience in making sure everyone was on the same page. --[[User:D.

You have been nominated for a seat on the [[CZ:Management Council|Management Council]] in the [[CZ:Election July-August 2013|July-August Special Election]]. The nominator was myself. To accept or decline this nomination, please visit the [[CZ:Election July-August 2013/Nominations#Management Council candidates and links to their Statements|Nominations]] page by midnight UTC on July 27th. You may write an election statement for each if you wish (linked from the Nominations page).


The big O notation (and its relatives, such as the little o notation) is quite common in analysis and other parts of mathematics having nothing to do with analysis of algorithms. I believe it was introduced by Donald Knuth as an aide to the analysis of algorithms, but its use has spread well beyond that. [[User:Greg Woodhouse|Greg Woodhouse]] 23:02, 18 April 2007 (CDT)
The Management Council seat expires on either June 30th, 2014, or June 30th, 2015 (the successful candidate with fewest voting receiving the shorter term). In the event that [[CZ:Election July-August 2013/Referenda/1|Referendum 1]] is passed, all seats will expire on June 30th, 2014. Thanks!

Sorry I didn't respond for so long, Alek ... I agree that an article titled "Big O notation" is a bit weird - it'd be like having an article titled "The f(x) notation". Big O is a way to express certain ideas (in complexity theory, analysis, physics, and so on), and so it can be discussed where those ideas are discussed. - [[User:Greg Martin|Greg Martin]] 17:57, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

== WP credit ==
Following [[User talk:Anthony.Sebastian#What to be done about this?|this discussion]], [[Citizendium/Activity|this page]] may be of interest to you. Perhaps it can become a base for presenting statistics about CZ. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 15:47, 18 November 2013 (UTC)


The articles ''Tycho Brahe'' and ''Joan of Arc'' were listed by yourself as needing the WP credit. The Tycho article already had a WP credit. Recently, I removed the last remaining WP material from the Joan of Arc article so it should not require such credit.
== You've been nominated as a candidate in the June 2014 election ==


There is a WP credit on ''Timeline of Joan of Arc'' which should be removed as all content here on CZ was written by myself. I tried to remove the WP credit by unchecking the WP box, but that didn't work.

:Thanks for the list of "similitudes" in the JoA article. I will deal appropriately with them. Especially the Kelly DeVries sentence does not belong in any encyclopedia article. Now if I can just find it! And thanks for the tip on how to remove the WP credit.
 
:The WP credit on ''Tycho Brahe'' was entered in a non-standard way because the WP template did not exist at the time. That would be really hard for a program to pick up. [[User:James F. Perry|James F. Perry]] 13:52, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
 
I just dealt with the one paragrpah which contained 4 of the 5 WP leftover remnants. Near as I can figure, I had slated that passage for elimination, probably previewed it, but forgot to save the changes. There is now only the one sentence about Joan's parents to be revised.
 
The comparison script is fantastic! [[User:James F. Perry|James F. Perry]] 11:04, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
 
:The ''Timeline of Joan of Arc'' article was written by myself, originally posted to WP. Since my original posting, only a couple of changes (not all of which were merited) were made. They were then removed before bringing the article over here to CZ. So the CZ article was written by myself. I will leave a note on the Talk page of the article explaining that. This type of situation may be another problem for your script. Also in this category are ''Kilt'', ''Kilt accessories'', ''Amber Neben'', ''Mari Holden'', and others to follow. [[User:James F. Perry|James F. Perry]] 13:23, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
 
Aleksander - the matieral on the [[Proctor compaction test]] article is entirely my own work; see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Proctor_compaction_test&diff=118137078&oldid=117954042 WP article history]. After essentially completely rewriting the article for WP, I decided to contribute it here. Also, you mentioned "8 sentences" on the [[Irish dance]] article; I believe I wrote those, too, but failed to provide the diff. Can you tell me which are the 8 sentences? [[User:Anthony Argyriou|Anthony Argyriou]] 15:09, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
 
:I don't mind at all that you've done what you did - it's not obvious what I did, and I failed to provide sufficient information, particularly in the [[Proctor compaction test]] article for anyone else to figure it out. Your answer to the eight sentences question will give me a lead on either finding the diffs to show it's my own work, or to remove/rewrite those sentences which are not mine. [[User:Anthony Argyriou|Anthony Argyriou]] 16:36, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
 
Alexander, a citizen asked me about  [[Pseudoscience]] which had originally been rimmed down from a wp article nad has been extensively edited. It no longer has the wp box checked- I believe that this is becase it no longer needs it, but could kindly check? Thank you, [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 18:57, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 
== Cantor's diagonal argument and other math articles ==
 
I know this is annoying, but for those of us who have forgotten, could you provide a glossary of symbols at a bottom section? I've forgotten what a lot of the symbols, including the Greek letters are, and so I can't read much of this, and I want to. I don't mean a whole explanations just a simple:
Greek letter=theta
Math symbol=union
kind of thing.

== WP Credit ==
 
I notice you have been adding "WP Credit" to articles that I have posted here and also on WP. When I posted them here several months ago, there was a discussion about whether WP credit should be given. The conclusion was that it NEED NOT be given, since I was very much the primary author (and sometimes the only one) of the WP article. The talk page of each of these articles includes a discussion of this situation. For articles where these conditions didn't apply, I tried to always give WP credit. I don't much care whether or not WP is named as the first place this material appeared, but I DO care about consistency, sticking to decisions once made, etc., especially when I jumped through so many discussion page hoops to describe what was going on. [[User:Louis F. Sander|Louis F. Sander]] 14:32, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
:Louis, without having checked which articles Aleksander is adding WP credit to, I do know that in his discussions with me, he's emphasised that if more than about one sentence of a WP article that isn't by the CZ author is re-used here, then the WP credit requirement applies. I've moved a number of articles of mine over, and have had to do some creative editing to remove the parts contributed by others, when I cared to have the WP credit removed from the article.

Hi Aleks!
 
Are you the fellow coordinating this?  If so, I'd ask you to move [[dog]] to the end of the list to give me time to work on the draft page.
 
I've already done some editing and expansion, but in light of the AoM thing, I'd like to move this up in my priorities (not sure where I'll get the time from, but that's my problem.)
 
Although nicely written, the present article has some inaccuracies I wouldn't like to see on the front page as an example of CZ's best, plus IMO it does a better job of discussing the relationship between people and dogs than simply the mammal, dog.
 
If the-guy-to-talk-to isn't you, please tell me who it is?
