Junction lists

Hey there! I've noticed you recently added a junction list to New Hampshire Route 102. While this is widely appreciated, we at WP:USRD are trying to create junction lists by using the {{ jctint}} series of templates. It would be awesome if you could convert your junction list to do so, but you don't have to if you don't want to. Thanks, and welcome! – TC N7 JM 18:50, 12 January 2013 (UTC) reply

I would also advise taking the log out link off your talk. – TC N7 JM 18:51, 12 January 2013 (UTC) reply

I'm not good with templates. Someone else will probably convert it into a template. HotdogPi 18:54, 12 January 2013 (UTC) reply

I highly suggest you learn how to use the {{ jctint}} series of templates. Just making a faulty junction list and asking somebody else to fix it is not what you're supposed to do. – TC N7 JM 03:55, 14 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Disambiguation link notification for May 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Full reptend prime, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Modulo. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Short Descriptions

Could you take a moment and explain what the purpose is behind your series of "short description" edits (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Miami&diff=838741838&oldid=838079764). They don't seem to appear to change what the reader is seeing in the article, so why are you inserting them in dozens of articles? Un sch ool 02:59, 29 April 2018 (UTC) reply

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

21 proof

I'm also suspicious of any proof which ends in Just check a few numbers, and it's either OR (unlikely) or should be cited, but I don't think 101 is a counterexample. The claim is that for each n>21 we can pick some a,b such that neither a÷b nor b÷a terminate. For n=101, we can pick a=3 and b=98. Basically (and this is also not a proof) for 21 the primes which don't divide 10 are dealt with: 3 and 7 divide 21 so 18÷3, 14÷7, etc. are no problem, and 11, 13, 17, 19 happen to be paired with 10, 8, 4, 2 which divide a power of 10.

Charles McClain

The problem here is that while I haven't been able to find a source that mentions anything else McClain did, that doesn't mean there wasn't anything—presumably there was some reason he was influential enough to get invited to the convention in the first place. (I'll admit I was playing his non-notability up a little bit on AARoads for comic effect.) I haven't done much more than an Internet search for information on him, which turns up nothing; I'd imagine if there's more about him, it would be in a print source. I'm a little surprised nobody else has found anything else about him by now.

If, for whatever reason, there's not more about him to put in the article, the proper remedy would probably a merge-and-redirect to McClain County, Oklahoma rather than a true deletion. — Scott5114 [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 03:15, 27 December 2020 (UTC) reply
