Encyclopedic content

[edit]

I notice that you've been adding content to algebra and algebraic geometry articles. While some of that content is good, some of it is questionable. Some things you've added have been wrong. For example, see my corrections [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7].

Wikipedia is to an encyclopedia, not a textbook. See WP:NOTTEXTBOOK. Examples are allowed only if you could reasonably expect to find such an example in a well-developed article in a traditional encyclopedia such as the the Encyclopedia of Mathematics or the Princeton Companion to Mathematics. Moreover, all content on Wikipedia must be verifiable, see WP:V. For content that does not have a citation, it must be possible to find one. Consequently the examples and facts you want to add should be ones that can be found somewhere, in some textbook or paper or notes on the subject. This will prevent errors in the future. Thanks.
