Welcome[edit]

Hello, Jason, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contribution to Löwenheim–Skolem theorem. However, I have to admit that after your edit, I found the first sentence rather hard to read because of the parenthetical remarks and subclauses, so I tried to rewrite it. I'd appreciate if you could take another look to make sure I didn't change the meaning (I don't know model theory at all).

Anyway, I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page at User talk:Jitse Niesen, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

A good place for specific information for mathematics is Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics. Have a look at the list of participants to see some other mathematicians contributing to Wikipedia.

I hope to see you around, and most importantly, that you will enjoy yourself. Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some standard Wikipedia conventions[edit]

Hello. Your edits to nice name prompt some comments.

  • You began by writing:
A nice name is a set theoretical concept used in forcing to impose an upper bound on the number of subsets in the generic model.
This fails to tell the non-mathematician reader that mathematics, rather than chemistry, theology, archeology, grammar, etc., is what this is about. I changed it so that it says "In mathematics, a nice name is...." etc.
  • You shouldn't capitalize an initial letter just because it's in a section heading. Thus
Formal definition
is correct, whereas
Formal Definition is not.
  • On Wikipedia, TeX often looks good when "displayed", thus:
but often looks bad when inline, thus: . On my browser, this gets misaligned. Obviously, the A and the e should be at the same level as the preceeding and following text outside the "math" environment, but that's not what happens. (For similar (and maybe other) reasons, one puts final periods and commas INSIDE of "displayed" TeX). Also, at least on the browser I'm using, the characters in TeX are much bigger than the letters outside of TeX, and this can have a comical effect. (In non-TeX math notation, one italicizes variables (but not digits and not parentheses or the like) and puts spacing before and after "=", "+", etc., thus:
2 + 3 = 98,
not
2+3=98.

Notice

The article Tail sequence has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned dictionary definition without attestation. It's plausible as a nonce term but I don't believe it exists as a term of art in set theory with this specific a definition (for example, it would be equally plausible to use it to mean the complement of an initial segment of any wellordered sequence, not just an ordinal). If it can be attested, then I could live with a merge to glossary of set theory, though I'm still not convinced it's particularly useful.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Trovatore (talk) 18:19, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
