That's my name. I like to make small contributions in the area of mathematics(interests: number theory and algebra) and physics(interests: theoretical aspects), and hope they'll be of any use.

Hi Georg, welcome and thanks for you math contributions! --AxelBoldt

Welcome, Georg! -- CYD

Georg, please don't just add links to the mathematician biographies; include short summary of their life and achievements. We don't want to turn into a link farm. Thanks. --AxelBoldt

Please! No more 'just links' items! (I wonder if he's going to wait until he finished the alphabet before he hits 'recent updates' and finds out that this is not exactly good wikipedia behavior?) --MichaelTinkler

Yes, please do see what Wikipedia is not. We deal with links-only-without-articles by deleting the links. This seems to be the best way to ensure that Wikipedia doesn't become a web directory. --Larry Sanger

What I'm going to do is this: I'm going to identify just the articles that consist of no more than external links, and I'm going to permanently delete those ones (see page titles to be deleted, so that the links to the articles come up as clickable question marks. Better this way to let people know that in fact there aren't articles on those subjects yet. --LMS
