Q. It appears that starting today, if you go to RecentChanges and click on the name to the right of a page, that is, a contributor who has identified him/herself as making the change, you get Invalid Page wiki.cgi. Why? |

A. The changes to the code to use /pagename rather than ?pagename appear to have been incomplete. See WikiPediaBugs for more information and discussion. Q. I am asking this again, because I do not feel I recieved an adequate answer, last time. To write pages on Math, the authors need to be able to include a large number of math symbols, graphs, etc. This is not a question of linking to someone else's images. These are items we need to be able to use freely and in our own original way. It would require, at present, uploading the content to one's own websites, assuming we have them ,and linking to this. For example, to discuss differentiation and integration in Calculus, one needs to have: an Integral sign, a summmation sign, a symbolism for limits, etc. Somehow, writing, the limit of sin(x)/x as x goes to infinity, just doesn't cut it. Already we are all missing the small epsilon for "belongs to," the symbol for "is a subset of," and many more in the Abstract Algebra entries. I think this will impede the addition of much material in the Math area. |

A. This is a difficult problem. Part of the problem is that html web pages don't do math symbols very well at all. So almost any solution will be a crutch. Within the next couple of years, browsers should be able to render MathML?. This will be a time of much joy. Between now and then, I'm open to suggestions, but I think this is a really hard problem. |

A2. You can send to jasonr at aristotle.bomis.com any tiny image you would like uploaded to the Wikipedia server. You could then use that tiny image in your articles! |

Q. Is there any reason why we can't do what is described just above under A2? Or any reason to think this is a bad idea? Also, what will the code look like-- simply /likethis.gif, or what? |
