Tom Peters 20030622: I notice that on 4 June you changed the year of birth of Hipparchus from 190 BC to 194 BC. Also on the alternate Hipparchos page. Lower down, the year 190 BC is still quoted and attributed to Delambre. What is your source for the new birth year (194)?

Tom Peters 20030605: please read my comments on Talk:Hipparchus.

Tom Peters 20030601: I saw you haven't addressed my comments on Hipparchus yet (I suppose you are away for the weekend). Considering you admonition to not edit that page, I started a page "Hipparchos" instead. I mainly re-organized the existing content, pulling the scattered subject matter under a limited number of subjects. See how you like it. Notice the duplications; these, errors, and elaborations are to be removed later, preferably after moving&renaming the existing "Hipparchus" page to "Hipparchos" (preserving history), or otherwise re-edit the Hipparchus page according to my proposals.

XJ, you may want to move your article indexed list JM into the user: namespace since it is not an encyclopedia article. Simply start an article called user:Indexed list JM and put the material there, then redirect the old article to the new one by putting the line

#REDIRECT [[user:Indexed list JM]]

in the first line of Indexed list JM. AxelBoldt

Done. Vielen Dank! Axel for all the help. I've noticed my own stupidity but not being aware of the power of rearranging. You obviously master redirecting.

As to what I changed, it was just your tiny spelling error on "rearranging". I hope you don't mind if I do that occasionally. ps. the Quetzacoatl article i mentioned is in the Spanish Wikipedia (http://es.wikipedia.com) --Dreamyshade

Yes Dreamyshade I don't mind at all if you correct any kind of errors even in talking areas. It's hard to spot missing "r" in such words yes. Anyone who is qualified enough can correct any missing period, letter, number, coma, phrase, form etc. I am very glad to learn from such corrections too as I am non-English wikipedian. Till now I have learned a lot from my own mistakes. I must say I had a good teacher for English in my elementary school years ago where you deserved pure 5 (the largest mark) if you had all words and sentences correct. He alowed only one or two errors as I recall. This is very usefull for later days but I must also remark that I would have to study English at university if I want to participate in full to produce at least modest article in Wikipedia. Some English wikipedians are very rigorous about English syntax. I wonder how good are they - if someone with perfect knowledge of English language would rate them. But such person perhaps does not exist.

Yes, I know you mentioned that article in Spanish. Irrespective of a language a topic on Quetzalcoatl is very interesting and you gave me directions on it. Some day I shall put some of my contributions there. I have one pretty long story from my own 'pseudo mystical' 'expirienced past life' connected with Quetz. I am glad we met in cyber space. R e s p e c t as Jamaican 'ghettolivers' and English rub a dub 'wikitoasters' would probably say. --XJam [2002.03.20] 3 Wednesday (0)

I noticed that you tried to link to "signs for numbers". Do you perhaps mean numerals? Juuitchan (How does this date thing work?) Test: [1582.10.15] Today is [2002.07.30]

Hey, I just clarified Celje a bit and I'm not sure what the following sentence means. I'm not sure if you wrote it, but can you clarify for me so I can reword it in a more standard English manner?

Because of Celje and Celje citizens and Slovene paralel classes at Celje gymnasium 1895 even fell Austrian goverment of Alfred Windischgraetz. That was those days a real precedent.

Yes, Tucci528 thank you first for correcting or better saying improveing the article about the city of Celje. I admit there lied a lot of tiny mistakes, which show non-English user. But what can we do? Better bad or worse English, than no English. Do you agree? Yes I wrote that paragraph. But I've found it in some other place, of course. It simply says that the Austrian goverment almost fell because of the rioting at Celje gymnasium. Is this clear enough? I've read an article again and I must say you've made some mistakes, too. Please read it again and correct them, otherwise I will. At present I am too tired. I'll do it in a week ahead for shure. Thanks again. And one last thing. I didn't know that English write decimal point instead of decimal comma. Isn't this an American manner? Here in Europe we write decimal commas, and therfore we use points for number multiples. These are not strictly an American pages, or are they? -- XJam 19:43 Sep 3, 2002 (PDT)

Thanks for the graphs of the super ellipses! Could you also produce a graph for n = 1.5 and n = 0.5? What software did you use? AxelBoldt 18:46 Dec 18, 2002 (UTC)

Yes, Axel for shure I can. Just tell me where to put them afterwards. If you want them to be in apropriate article - let me know, otherwise I'll put them somewhere else. The programme was of course the great Maple + minor works on generated bitmaps - mostly colours for the regions, since you have to define some objects inthere (e.g. circle, ellipse, square, ...) to colour them properly. I was a bit lazy for a while concerning math subject mostly because of the lack of time. These are not quite the graphs as are related to the definition of the supper ellipse, but more of a generalized function of a similar kind, right. They are more like astroids[?] if n ≤ 2. Graphs are on their ways... --XJamRastafire 22:42 Dec 18, 2002 (UTC)
