Hi Azjps,  thanks for the cones!  Two (hopefully minor) requests: right now, both cones seem really large.  It is possible to make them smaller or put them in a box to the side or something?  Also, in the oblique cone, the segment labeled <math>r</math> shouldn't be, but it might be nice to include an actual radius of the circle in the picture, too.

Hi, the boxes are very nice.  However, it really is excessive to have a category for each contest, don't you think?  If you want a problem from the AIME for a certain year, you go to the page 1984 AIME Problems/Problem 2 or something—it's already pretty well organized that way.  The category "Math Contest Problems" gets you to any contest's directory of problems on the wikiIf you want problems from a certain subject area, you use categories like Olympiad Geometry Problems, Intermediate Number Theory Problems, Introductory Algebra Problems. &mdash;[[User:Boy Soprano II|Boy Soprano II]] 14:30, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

== Creating redirects ==

I've been on this website many times before and need help with some maths questions. I wasn't sure who to ask for help, so I just chose an admin.
  
When you create a redirect from a blank article (e.g. [[internally tangent]]) to an article to which it is vaguely related (e.g. [[tangent line]]), you actually do a disservice: anyone who comes across the link to "internally tangent" won't realize that there actually is no article there, and anyone who clicks on the link will be sent to a place they don't really want to be.  If you aren't going to write a stub, just leave it empty.  --[[User:JBL|JBL]] 18:22, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

Well here are two problems I need help with:
  
:Good point, though I guess its not as bad as calling a [[dodecahedron]] a 12-sided polygon. (I’ll stick to the [[USAMO]] as my excuse). I was thinking more of redirecting the variations of tangent to a page like [[tangent (geometry)]], and when I saw the [[tangent]] disambiguation page I figured I would redirect it to [[tangent line]] and someday move that article to [[tangent (geometry)]]. By the way, is there anything better we can put for [[contradiction]] outside of [[proof by contradiction]]? <font style="font-family:Georgia,sans-serif">[[User:Azjps|Azjps]] ([[User talk:Azjps|<font color="green">talk</font>]])</font> 15:15, 1 May 2007 (EDT)

You copied it from wikipedia? Meh, still pretty nice find. But I thought we were not allowed to copy from GNU sites, as AoPS doesn't agree to that license. Unless it's from MediaWiki originally? [[User:Temperal|Temperal]] 20:43, 17 September 2007 (EDT)

Note

I am testing a short greasemonkey script to (semi-)automatically format contest articles, under the hope that this can make the articles here consistent and easily accessible. Apologies for the flood of edits; comments and suggestions are greatly welcomed. azjps (talk) 05:33, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Cone

Hi Azjps, thanks for the cones! Two (hopefully minor) requests: right now, both cones seem really large. It is possible to make them smaller or put them in a box to the side or something? Also, in the oblique cone, the segment labeled $r$ shouldn't be, but it might be nice to include an actual radius of the circle in the picture, too. Thanks! --JBL 23:21, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Wonderful, looks beautiful, thanks! --JBL 23:58, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

"Refers to"

Hi Azjps, you've been doing a lot of nice work. I have one minor recurring complaint: you begin a lot of articles with a phrase like, "An invariant refers to ...." This doesn't make sense. There are (at least) two possible alternatives: one is, "The term invariant refers to ..." and the other is, "An invariant is ...." I personally prefer the latter, as it's substantially more direct. Anyhow, this is obviously not a huge deal, but I just thought I'd mention it. --JBL 23:38, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment, I will remember to do so. Also, not sure what I was thinking with that "r" label, haha. azjps (talk) 23:52, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Help

I've been on this website many times before and need help with some maths questions. I wasn't sure who to ask for help, so I just chose an admin.

Well here are two problems I need help with:

1. Given five distinct points A, B, C, P, Q in the plane, no three are collinear. Prove that AB + BC + CA + PQ < AP + AQ + BP + BQ + CP + CQ. 2. (p, q) is the gcd of p and q. Find all positive integers x, y, z such that x+y = (x, y)^2 y+z = (y, z)^2 z+x = (z, x)^2

Thanks! Can you tell me a bit about how the wiki works? I'm not really sure and it's so big I don't really know what to do.

User page gone

I was using my user page to test character capacity, and apparently I typed in too much characters, because now it says that the page cannot be found. [1] Thanks if you fix it. ~bob
