I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place ((helpme)) on your talk page and ask your question there.

In the edit summary to this edit you said "The edit showed how Heron's formula is derived". can you explain why that version makes it clearer how the formula is derived than the original version? As far as I can see, it just makes it unnecessarily complicated, and I totally fail to see how anyone who can understand the more complicated version can fail to understand the simpler version. I should also like to call your attention to WP:BRD, which is not WP:BRR. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 18:44, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi. I don't know where exactly it is coming from, but it seems like a gut feeling you're on a drive to impede the Germany article, given these, these and these ongoing discussions. How exactly do you intend to contribute here? How do you think your approach helps improving the actual article? I'm just curious. All the best, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 11:39, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Prime number. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Hi, I've just reverted your recent changes to the article. If you'd like to make substantial changes, please discuss them on the talk page first. Nick-D (talk) 09:47, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.You have removed twice the clarification "different of 0 and 1" in Quadratic integer, asserting, in your second edit summary that it is redundant with "square-free". Firstly, it is clear that it is not a part of the sentence, but a clarification, because of the parentheses. Secondly, not all authors agree with the definition of square-free, and Wikipedia must take into account this absence of consensus. For example, the list of small square-free integers given in Square-free integer contains 1; the definition given in this article implies that 0 is not a square-free integer for one of the definitions of "divisor" given in Divisor, but 0 is square-free for the other definition. Thus it is not redundant to clarify that, for this article, square-free means "different of 0 and 1". D.Lazard (talk) 12:56, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
You made some comments at a ANI filing involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Conduct on Portal:Current Events and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wikipedia:Banning policy. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sandstein 12:03, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

I saw your edits in the Zig article, and I'm wondering if I might rope you in for some more?
I would really like to add a section contrasting Zig's compiler-time code concept (comptime and test etc) to the preprocessor language in C. C uses the preprocessor for several broad tasks, definition of constants and macros, importing headers (et all), and, critically I believe, conditional compilation for things like machine dependancies.
I was wondering if you might have some examples of the latter implemented in Zig. I was surprised to find none when I went looking in the introduction materials. Consts are not needed as they are directly supported, imports are turned into structs (one of the more interesting bits of the implementation IMHO), macros are not really needed (and have not for some time with inlining) but machine dependancy...
Any good examples? Maury Markowitz (talk) 00:37, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
