Hi, Greg. I saw your comments at Mathematical analysis and thought I'd say hello. I think you're right -- the article could use some serious reorganization. Here – stop by this talk page to get acquainted with some of the math guys on Wikipedia.

Have a great day! DavidCBryant 01:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Books with multiple authors

[edit]

I've been working on Concurrency (computer science) and realize that I have no idea how to use the citation template for a book when there are multiple co-authors. On that page, the second co-author of "Distributed Systems" should be Maarten van Steen, the first author is Andrew S. Tanenbaum.

Many of the templates have help if you go to the template page itself, in this case Template:Cite_book. You can see here there is a coauthors parameter. So you'd need something like
 {{ cite book
 | last = Tanenbaum
 | first = Andrew S.
 | coauthors = Van Steen, Maarten    
 | title = Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms
 | publisher = Prentice Hall
 | date = 2002
 | isbn = 0-13-088893-1
 }}
You can also see other things such as the authorlink item which could be used to add a link to Andrew S. Tanenbaum in this case. (authorlink = Andrew S. Tanenbaum)--pgk 22:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mathematical Physics

[edit]

Hey Greg, I found you through the Wikiproject Mathematics page and saw that your interested in Mathematical Physics. As such I thought I would let you know that this article is nominated for the Math Collaboration of the week (I nominated it). Even if this article does not make the cut, it needs serious work and I am not qualified to do it as of yet. If you get the time please take a look at it; if not, I understand, and thanks for your time--Cronholm144 22:56, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mathematics CotW

[edit]

Hey Greg, I am writing you to let you know that the Mathematics Collaboration of the week(soon to "of the month") is getting an overhaul of sorts and I would encourage you to participate in whatever way you can, i.e. nominate an article, contribute to an article, or sign up to be part of the project. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks--Cronholm144 21:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A new task force - ESA

[edit]

Hello,

I've noticed that you are active in the area of space exploration. I just wanted to let you know that a European Space Agency task force has been set up to improve the presently very poor condition of articles about ESA and related topics. If you are interested, please join the task force here. We sure could use your help. Thanks.U5K0 (talk) 11:26, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spaceflight portals

[edit]

Hello! As an member editor of one or more of the Spaceflight, Human spaceflight, Unmanned spaceflight, Timeline of spaceflight or Space colonisation WikiProjects, I'd like to draw to your attention a proposal I have made with regards to the future of the spaceflight-related portals, which can be found at Portal talk:Spaceflight#Portal merge. I'd very much appreciate any suggestions or feedback you'd be able to offer! Many thanks,

WikiProject Spaceflight activity

[edit]

Hello there! As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the spaceflight-related WikiProjects, changes have been made to the list of members of WikiProject Spaceflight. If you still consider yourself to be an active editor in this project, it would be appreciated if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the number of active editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance!

WikiProject Spaceflight reboot

[edit]

Hello there! As you may or may not be aware, a recent discussion on the future of the Space-related WikiProjects has concluded, leading to the abolition of WP:SPACE and leading to a major reorganisation of WP:SPACEFLIGHT. It would be much appreciated if you would like to participate in the various ongoing discussions at the reorganisation page and the WikiProject Spaceflight talk page. If you are a member of one of WP:SPACEFLIGHT's child projects but not WP:SPACEFLIGHT itself, it would also be very useful if you could please add your name to the member list here. Many thanks!
