From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hey anon, thank you for your work at Euclidean domain. Would you mind making an account and using an edit summary when you contribute? Both will be helpful in the sense that they allow us to see better what you are up to. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Zeta functions
Hi, thanks for your edits and corrections to the zeta-function articles. Please note that the WP convention for these functions is to not hyphenate them, and so your insertion of hyphens will likely be undone in the long run.
Also, may I ask that you obtain a login account? That we, we might get to know you as a person, rather than as a cold, anonymous number. linas 04:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion pages - you need to sign
Could you please sign your posts when editing on the Discussion pages. This helps us understand who is saying what so we can follow what's going on there. You can do this by either pressing the signature button which is the second button from the right on the editing options on the top, or you can type it --~~~~ at the end of your post. Thanks! --Konstable 06:37, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Linebreaks
Hi. Just a note. It is good if you don't insert linebreaks in wikipedia text (that's is, don't hit the "Return" key to go to a new line, unless you start a new paragraph, etc.). It messes up the formatting of the page, and it is harder to track the changes that way.
It would be nice if you could make an account and explain your edits with an edit summary. Easier for us to check what you are up to. :) And thank you for your work in math articles. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:24, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ISBN: It's more confusing than that!
Hello 137.99, and welcome to the ISBN article. I suggest that you revert this particular change, since it increases the confusion that's already there.
- Springer didn't 'choose' its publisher codes. They are issued by an agency. Springer must use whatever they were given.
- The term 'language area code' is no longer correct. (Somebody should tidy this up in the article). The current term is 'group identifier'. It applies to a group of countries, and it's independent of language.
Your change dramatizes that the passage you have edited needs work, though. The other changes you made seem fine; you must know this stuff from somewhere! EdJohnston 02:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
