Unbanned

Following a successful appeal to the Committee the October 2013 amendment to the Race and intelligence case is rescinded and Mathsci (talk · contribs) is unbanned from the English Wikipedia. The unban has been granted on the condition that Mathsci continue to refrain from making any edit about, and from editing any page relating to the race and intelligence topic area, broadly construed. This is to be enforced as a standard topic ban. The following editing restrictions are in force indefinitely:

• The two-way interaction bans with The Devil's Advocate (talk · contribs) and Cla68 (talk · contribs) enacted in a September 2013 amendment to the Race and intelligence case.
• A two-way interaction ban with Ferahgo the Assassin (talk · contribs) is enacted in accordance with the Race and intelligence case review.

This motion is to be enforced under the enforcement clauses of the Race and intelligence case.

It's good to see you back

I look forward to watching your edits on mathematics articles, articles that I tend to read more than I edit because I need to deepen my understanding of mathematics. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (Watch my talk, How I edit) 14:13, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Just at the moment I am brushing up on the nuts and bolts of editing. I am a bit rusty after all this time. Mathematics articles will have to wait: possibly an article on Victor Kac's 1980 generalisation of Gabriel's theorem. Half the chorale preludes in Orgelbüchlein also remain without commentaries.

Miniatures

Why upload free images to WP, where no one can find them. Much better to use Commons. Johnbod (talk) 04:04, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

I came across your article on the Royal Collection only by accident, but was happy to find an appropriate place for the image I'd unearthed in 600 sides of manuscript. It had taken me a little while to decipher and identify the latin text, as it was not in the official BL record. The process of finding the code for BL digitised image pages (to use dezoomify) involved trial and error: files like File:Bolingbroke-entering-London-froissart-chroniques.png might give useful hints to other wikipedians. There was a similar problem with original manuscripts in the Bach archive in Leipzig. I could not solve the problem for the old ordnance survey maps in the National Museum of Scotland so had to splice several images. Copying to Commons is usually done automatically by the Ogrebot.

Once again

Hi there Mathsci, I noticed you wrote an extensive behavioural case to link one of the socks of Satt2 to the sockmaster (quite) some time ago. Well, he has once again returned. Would you mind looking at the new SPI case I made and perhaps present your opinion now once again? Bests and thanks - LouisAragon (talk) 02:10, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

BWV 161

Can you help to images and other improvements to the 1716 cantata? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

I'll check the Leipzig Bach archive. Mathsci (talk) 22:02, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the image! - For BWV 4, thank you for the added source, but where is going to be used? I don't have page numbers. You'd need to add | ref = harv to the ref, and call it by saying in curly brackets "sfn|Wolff|1997|p=whateverpagenumber". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:48, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Next on the wishlist: either some painting of a Baroque Lutheran wedding of about the time, or a piece of music, for O holder Tag, erwünschte Zeit, BWV 210, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:29, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Devon

Why did you revert my edits, call them unjustified, and then reapply them? ~ Iamthecheese44 (talk) 01:25, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

One edit. My first edit summary makes it clear. If not, look up Margaret Beaufort. Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset is on my watchlist, since I was the last person to add any substantial content. Mathsci (talk) 05:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Christ's College, Cambridge

Dear Mathsci The alignment of two images on this page both left and right in the same paragraph (buildings) causes the orphaning of a large block of text. This is not preferred and it would be better to stagger the images. Also the image in the history section causes the same problem with the infobox on low resolution screens. Please also respect the removal of Annilese Miskimmon as there is no reference to her being an alumni, with no wiki page either. Thanks Aloneinthewild (talk) 19:19, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

No the old alignment was this.[1] I added the Hall Portrait of Lady Margaret Beaufort to St John's College. Of the many Christ's portraits, I found only this one on the web. It belongs in the history section, since she is the Foundress. I sorted out the mess in the gallery and found the originals for the Hall portraits of Milton, Paley and Darwin. St John's College has far more text and is much better written. The only place where a really new image was added was in the history section, and there is a "clear" command. The infobox goes somewhat deep into the Christ's article, mainly because of the general lack of content. I don't think I added Annilese Miskimmon as an alumna, so I'm not sure what happened there. I think I removed one woman listed as an alumna before Christ's admitted women. Your claims about images are not correct. Joan of Arc is a featured article with images on the left; there are many others. Mathsci (talk) 19:45, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

I did notice that Linda Colley is not an alumna. She was a Fellow. now an Honorary Fellow. The same is true of her husband David Cannadine before. You're completely right, St John's College is structured because it has more content. Equally, yes Joan of Arc does has images aligned left, that's fine, but not left and right surrounding the same paragraph. Aloneinthewild (talk) 21:46, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

I am not responsible for the placing of the two images on the left and the right. Considering the content (and lack of it), I think that the placing of the images was a good idea, whoever thought of it. Trinity College, Cambridge does the same in many places. There were many errors in the classification of Christ's alumni both here and on Commons. Anne McLaren was a Fellow Commoner, etc, etc. Niall Ferguson was a Fellow, not an alumnus. The lack of any mention of Finch & Baines in the article was surprising, as historic benefactors of Christ's College. Simon Schama is an honorary fellow of Christ's College, but where is that to be found on wikipedia? Mathsci (talk) 23:26, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
