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) | 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.

For multiplication in latex, use \cdot instead of *. Nice work you've been doing. --JBL 19:38, 12 February 2007 (EST)
Nope, it's me -- I counted the case where all three are divisible by 125 4 times instead of 1. I'm fixing now.--JBL 20:19, 15 February 2007 (EST)
Don't bother using a delete template, just delete it unless you think it'd be controversial. It's not like it can't be undone if we want.--solafidefarms 14:51, 8 March 2007 (EST)
- Delete as in blank? Only sysops have deletion powers. (I guess I'm too into organization) Azjps (talk) 15:35, 8 March 2007 (EST)
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 wiki. If you want problems from a certain subject area, you use categories like Olympiad Geometry Problems, Intermediate Number Theory Problems, Introductory Algebra Problems. —Boy Soprano II 14:30, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
Hmmm... I can't view the source for that page. Why is it messed up?
Creating redirects
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.

- 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? Azjps (talk) 15:15, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
