Feel free to leave any message/suggestion/concern/piece of advice below. I will try my best to respond on your talk page.

Hi Thanks for message

You took down some of my amendments , citing the reason being it appeared nonconstructive. That is fine I just seek to find out which parts were of this nature so I can not make the same mistakes in future. Many Thanks

I do not recall. Can you show me one page that you modified so I can look at it? Red Director (talk) 18:01, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot login to old account

hello. and thank you for your welcome message on my talk page. i used to edit before a lot many years ago under the name Dungbeetle, but when i tried to login to start editing again, it says, no email is associated with the account. so it will not allow a password reset as such. i did nt find anything to address that on the help pages, so i had to start a new account from scratch. but i would nt mind having those old edits added to my new account or vice versa. but because i do not want to give out my email, perhaps i forfeit the right to the aforementioned privilege, which is fine too.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions! I appreciate you taking the time, and especially your gentle nudge toward the accepted wikipedia etiquette vis a vis filling in forms, etc., which is not always intuitive for new(er) people such as myself.

Thank you for your comments, Red Director. I hope to continue adding to the fund of knowledge re: 19th century botanists, where needed. The one I've been working on (Edwin James - scientist) was in much need of revision. Nearly finished now. It has been a Wikipedia learning experience which will help in any future endeavors. I've done a fair amount of essaying in HTML, but this is a whole new ballgame.

Hi Red, here's the problem I'm having over and over: I only edit 1-2 times a year, and the signature process is arcane at best. The four-tilde signature process doesn't apply to the preview, so I get confused every single time (six months apart or so). I will try to auto-sign now.... 73mmmm (talk) 01:31, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Census comma changes.

That was an interesting fix you added to the census paragraphs of various articles, to add a comma. It would be nice if all those boilerplate paragraphs could be rewritten to remove stuff like the population being "spread out," which makes no sense at all. Anyway, it is nice that you are keeping an eye on the details. Sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 19:33, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Photo licensing

Thank you Red Director for your offer to help me as a newcomer! I'm having difficulty properly dealing with licensing for photos to post, and have gotten some messages about problems, and notifications of photos being removed in a week if I don't fix the problems.

Justifying left and right on the same line

In using other pages about radio stations as a model, I notice that the first line on published pages starts with From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (justified left) and the coordinates (Coordinates: 29° 57' 17" N 98° 05' 39" W in our case) justified right.

Thanks for note. Looking for information to learn macros.

Thanks for your message, Red Director. Yes, I've been contributing here and there since 2004, mostly on Wiktionary. Looks like somebody downgraded me in January. I don't have time to make large contributions, but try to do a little where I can. I find the macros confusing and would like to find a tutorial on them.

Orlicz-Pettis Theorem

There is a stub with this title. I produced a full entry for this stub. Everything is fine, with one exception: The crucial line that follows does not print and the reference to Pettis article does not show. What should I do? Below those three lines I copy my full entry from the Sandbox. The missing line is in the source just before the sentence starting Also Dunford... Math45-oxford (talk) 20:21, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pettis directly referred to Orlicz's theorem in Banach's book. Needing the result in order to show the coincidence of the weak and strong measures, he provided a proof. ^[1].

THIS IS THE PROPOSED ARTICLE.

Orlicz-Pettis Theorem

A theorem in functional analysis concerning convergence of series (Orlicz) or, equivalently, countable additivity of measures (Pettis) with values in abstract spaces.

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff locally convex topological vector space with dual $X^{*}$ . A series $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }~x_{n}$ is subseries convergent (in $X$ ), if all its subseries $\sum _{k=1}^{\infty }~x_{n_{k}}$ are convergent.

Orlicz-Pettis Theorem. (i) If a series  $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }~x_{n}$   is weakly subseries convergent in  $X$   (i.e., is subseries convergent in   $X$   with respect to its weak topology  $\sigma (X,X^{*})$ ), then it is (subseries) convergent; or equivalently,(ii) Let  $\mathbf {A}$   be a si-algebra of sets and let  $\mu :\mathbf {A} \to X$  be an additive set function. If  $\mu$  is weakly countably additive, then it is countably additive (in the original topology of the space  $X$ ).

The history of the origins of the theorem is somewhat complicated. In numerous papers and books there are misquotations or/and misconceptions concerning the result. Assuming that $X$ is weakly sequentially complete Banach space, W. Orlicz ^[2] proved the following

Theorem. If a series $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }~x_{n}$ is weakly unconditionally Cauchy, i.e., $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }|x^{*}(x_{n})|<\infty$ for each linear functional $x^{*}\in X^{*}$ , then the series is (norm) convergent in $X$ .

After the paper was published, Orlicz realized that in the proof of the theorem the weak sequential completeness of $X$ was only used to guarantee the existence of the weak limits of the considered series. Consequently, assuming the existence of those limits, which amounts to the assumption of the weak subseries convergence of the series, the same proof shows that the series in norm convergent. In other words, the version (i) of the Orlicz-Pettis theorem holds. The theorem in this form, openly credited to Orlicz, appeared in Banach's monograph Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).. Also Dunford gave a proof. ^[3] (with a remark that it is similar to the original proof of Orlicz}. A more thorough discussion of the origins of the Orlicz-Pettis theorem and, in particular, of the paper ^[4] can be found in ^[5]. See also footnote 5 on p. 839 of ^[6] and the comments at the end of Section 2.4 of the 2nd edition of the quoted book by Albiac and Kalton. Though in Polish, there is also an adequate comment on page 284 of the quoted monograph of Alexiewicz, Orlicz’s first PhD ^[7] , still in the occupied Lwów.

In Grothendieck^[8] Grothendieck proved a theorem, whose special case is the Orlicz-Pettis theorem in locally convex spaces. Later, a more direct proofs of the form (i) of the theorem in the locally convex case were provided by McArthur and Robertson. ^[9] , ^[10]

Greetings from Yseult-Ivain

Hello, Red Director,

And that you for your kind message of welcome yesterday. I have two questions. Does there not exist a set of Wikipedia writer's guidelines for naming articles about persons who bear royal or noble titles? This has long been a subject of fascination for me, and although I have no real expertise on these matters, I have read quite a bit about them. I know that the official rules governing the ways in which these titles are bestowed, inherited, and used varies widely from country to country.

It would seem that quite a number of other Wikipedia contributors are interested in weighing in on what the title of the new Duchess of Sussex (Meghan Markle) ought to read, and it's good to see a growing interest in a topic I've always enjoyed reading about. However, although it's good to see the interest, it's a bit distressing to see people disputing about the topic, when the thoughts expressed and the language used would seem to indicate that many of the disputers are beginners in the subject. (I suppose I'm a "beginner," as well, but an "intermediate beginner," as they used to call us in swimming classes.)

The second question is: Would there be a place for an "intermediate beginner" to contribute to a set of writer's guidelines about persons who bear noble or royal titles? Thanks so much, Red Director.

Yours very truly,

Move a sandbox page into Wikipedia proper

I have completed a page in Sandbox, but don't know how to make it not a sandbox but a proper page for the community. I worry that the sandbox will be deleted in for days. How do I turn a sandbox into a proper Wikipedia page for the public?

Also, by mistake, I clicked on "template." Now the page wants to be a template, even though I don't mean it to. How do I turn the template page into a proper page?

The page at the moment is "template: Bernis von zur Muehlen"

Yes definitely need someone adopt me for better article writer please.

Dear Red Director. Thank you for your message. First I need to know about Adopt for me to understand all the code and rule and policy of contribution knowledge. I have got a lot of images that really need to upload but seem like what I did was not what people looking for. Such as gallery of cultivate plant but they undid my version and said it look like my personal gallery but I didn't understand about it. Anyone can put any pictures about article to look more interesting and to me Image worth more than thousand words. And explain article more. But seem like what I did they thought difference. So I need to understand more about what can and can not do so I am not waste time to edit it. Or waste someone time to undo my contribution. So please kindly point me direction how to get adopt with professional editor please. Thank you. All the best. Tri Trisorn Triboon (talk) 16:45, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Message box vs just comments - which is preferred?

Hi, I'm new here but learning. I was recently pointed to a page that lists Wikipedia template messages, where you insert a bit of code and a message box appears. I started using those, but then another editor told me NOT to use them, but to use only text comments when things needed to be corrected. Which is the right answer? Note, I was only ever using one box on a given page so I don't think I was overdoing it. Which is the right answer?

Random Question

What if someone put a detail about something that is unknown? Should I ask if there's a reliable source? The reason I'm saying this is because a user named "Bruhitzalvin" made an edit to the page "List of Total Wipeout Episodes", stating that a contestant in the first episode of series 1 named Andi got a time of 10:25 when their time was never actually stated. Should I ask where his source is?

Hello Red Director. I noticed to have recently edited the Kinbrae, MN page. I have some info I thought was interesting, maybe useful? Kinbrae sounds a lot like “Cairn Brae” or “Caen Brae”. The first is a location in Scotland, the second a castle in Cornwall, England. Maybe the source of the name considering it’s scottish history? I’ve never messaged a talk page before, hope I’m doing it correctly. Sorry if not. Just found the link too interesting to not share.

Can you please update our towns Wikipedia page to include the zip code we, in the Fairchild area are required to use as well as our address. We must use for any mail to be delivered Morris Plains NJ 07950, even though we live in THE TOWNSHIP OF MORRIS.
