You are welcome to post on my talk page, but more people will see it if you use the article talk page. Also, if you want to prepare a draft you can make a subpage in your user space, like User:Milogardner/sandtable. Tom Harrison Talk 03:37, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Milo! I created a very simple user page, at your request. Edit and change it to include some information about you if you want. Look at some other people's user pages for examples. Some people include a link to their personal website. It is generally advised to not include your email address. (There is some official policy on what can go in user pages but I can't find it right now). EdJohnston 17:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Ed, thanks for setting up my talk pape. I'll have to find the
the best spot to list my latest blog, a rough set of info -
at the present time:
http://liberabaci.blogspot.com
To generally introduce myself, a short bio is found at the end of the following blog:
http://egyptianmath.blogspot.com
For now, back to updating the Liber Abaci, and Sigler's comments.

Someone tagged this article for speedy deletion due to lack of context. I fleshed it out a bit based on the MathWorld entry. Two comments:

Scholarly inconsistencies are common when almost any subject is allowed, without footnote or justification, to wander back 80- 120 years, at ease, as if no progress had taken place in the interium, as if scholarly books had been randomly picked off a library shelf. This random book situation sadly has existed in several Wikipedia Egyptian mathematics discussions, before linkages began to improve the outdated reporting of the Middle Kingdom math texts. Early scholarly discussions (before 1927) had stressed minimalist additive views. That is, the math texts were almost never read beyond an additive context, even when large segments of texts could not be otherwise deciphered.
A major change took place after the turn of the century. Beginning in 2002 The Egyptian Mathematical Leather Roll, the Akhmim Wooden Tablet (Hana Vymazalova), and the medical text hekat subunits (over 2,000 pieces of data) began to be read. The hekat sub-units were read by Tanja Pemmerening without error, correcting 100 years of confusion. The updated AWT and medical text methods and facts were first reported in independent 2002 masters, and then two 2005 PhD thesis (Vymazova, Pemmerening). The same class of major change continues to update the scope and content of Egyptian mathematics, re-connecting the highest hekat weights and measures, from which the medical texts created dja and other subunits were connected, to the parent Akhmim Wooden Tablet and its vivid remainder arithmetic (that had been oddly unreported 1927).
In conclusion, it is time for Wikipedia Egyptian fraction and other ancient Egyptian math topics to be fairly recognized, by their post-2001 scholary papers. Yes, I see the past confusion of Wikipedia topics being corrected by being directed to the a wider range of Middle Kingdom texts.
The RMP is an excellent case in point. At least four texts 200-350 years older, and each was used to draft identifiable RMP problems, possibly 50 of Ahmes' 84 problems. The 2/nth table can now be read as many had hoped to read in 1927 (Chace et al), if only by linking EMLR, AWT, MMP and the Reisner Papyri and dryly reporting each text's contents, and so forth. Milogardner 22:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the suggestions. Wikifying the various Egyptian math links is important. Easy to read reviews of confusing topic is a proper complaint. For example, the hekat volume unit is found by the squaring the circle, defined in the MMP, but not clearly defined elsewhere. Mentioning the hekat as a volume unit elsewhere is a great idea as well. This type of clear Wikifying definition, and your other linking suggestions will be followed. Thanks. Milogardner 14:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

This topic began as a copy of the blog, owned by myself, hence the Wikipedia information has recieved proper approval. In any case, a Wikifying of the info is taking place, introducing links and other text changes that are quickly diverging from the original blos. In a few weeks I may not even recognize my own blog writing appearing in this Wikipedia topic. Thanks for the 'heads up'. Milogardner 18:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey Milo. I had wiki-linked hekat (go ahead, click it), you'll see that the "Hekat" article has nothing to do with the hekat you're talking about. So I removed the "[[ ]]" and said "wrong kind of hekat". Since there is no article about the unit of measurement "hekat", I had suggested that you consider creating one. I would help, but i'm math-retarded. -Taco325i 15:46, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I see what you mean. I'll look into the subject. Thanks, Milogardner 20:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
you're becoming a wikipro. Ok, when you make a link for [[hekat (volume unit)]], try doing this [[hekat (volume unit)|hekat]]. the first part is the name of the article, and the second part is what shows when you're reading it. -Taco325i 00:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
ok i fixed the hekat article. -Taco325i 21:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

You posted some junk to my user page User:Dicklyon. If you have something you want to talk about, please make a new section at the bottom of User talk:Dicklyon instead. Or respond here. Dicklyon (talk) 19:49, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
I understand you like this link: http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/EgyptianAndGreekSquareRoot.html – because you inserted it into my comment above, which I'm now fixing, as well as in some other inappropriate places. I tried to point out above, perhaps too tersely, that we don't put external links in "See also" sections, and we don't usually put bare links. See WP:EL for more about appropriate ways to get your link into articles. If you're having trouble, e.g. from people like me reverting you, then bring it up on the article's talk page, preferably using English sentences to say what your intent is, and to ask for help from more experienced editors.

thank you .. this issue will resolve itself shortly...
math is my language ... English is only a means to an end ..
Milo, this is a reminder that you are indefinitely banned from the topic of Egyptian mathematics on both article and talk pages. With some of your edits in January and February of this year you violated your ban. For example, in this edit you added a link to a posting by you on Planetmath which mentions Egyptian mathematics. You also made several edits at Talk:Egyptian mathematics. This is a talk page which your ban forbids you to edit. Please ensure that these violations aren't repeated, or a block maybe necessary. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 19:04, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Akhmim wooden tablets may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 18:16, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Square root, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Berlin Papyrus. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
