Thanks

Aside from the content, I wanted to thank you for the gracious tone of this response. With respect to the question "what is a variable/indeterminate, really?" I am in the same boat as your professors: I think that, if pressed, I could offer a coherent definition of a single concept, especially as it appears in ring theory/abstract algebra, that might be called "an indeterminate" but might also be called "a variable"; but this definition does not, I think, encompass all uses of those words, and doesn't really distinguish between them. D.Lazard is a person who I generally would trust about such things; but he is not a native English speaker and also often clarifies things by writing what he knows to be true without sourcing it carefully. I probably am not going to involve myself a whole lot more in the discussions, but certainly building up more good sources from as many mathematical perspectives as possible would be the ideal basis for moving forward. --JBL (talk) 17:53, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Zzzs. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Hurricane Milton, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. _ZZ^Z'S 14:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Linking

Re: [1]

You might give Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking a read, in particular, the parts about the usefulness of links to readers. I seriously doubt readers reading Trump's caption are going to want more information about portraits of U.S. presidents in general. Would you? ―Mandruss ☎ 01:45, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes and no... It seems similar to links to things like "President of the United States". How often would someone come to an article about Donald Trump to learn what a U.S. president is? But I'm sure you would agree that link in the lead should stay.

So why is this one different?

Also, personally, I would click the link, yes. But I think I click more links than the average reader lol. Farkle Griffen (talk) 02:17, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

But I'm sure you would agree that link in the lead should stay. Not really, precisely because How often would someone come to an article about Donald Trump to learn what a U.S. president is?. But I'm willing to let it stay because it's been there for, like, forever and I would be promptly reverted if I boldly removed it. Then we'd go to talk and I'd lose that battle. I'm well aware of "political realities" in Wikipedia editing. But I think I click more links than the average reader lol. Well there ya go. If you're clicking that link, I'd venture you're one in about five thousand. Of course I can't "prove" that. ―Mandruss ☎ 03:07, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
