Mathematical notation[edit]

Hello. Please notice this difference:

In some situations it is convenient to express the statistical significance as 1-α.

In some situations it is convenient to express the statistical significance as 1 − α.

The second version uses a proper minus sign rather than a stubby little hyphen, and puts spaces before and after it, and makes them non-breakable (i.e. no line-break can appear there if you alter your browser window's size or shape). You may want to look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (mathematics). Michael Hardy (talk) 00:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 10[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited Beta decay, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Parity and Spin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
