Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * If you're a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page.

Good luck! -- Herby talk thyme 10:00, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Functional Analysis
Hi!

I was wondering about the Corollary from the page that you extensively worked on Functional_Analysis/Geometry_of_Banach_spaces "The closed unit ball of \mathcal{X} (resp. \mathcal{X}^*) is weakly closed (resp. weak-* closed)." In order to use the preceding theorem (i.e. Mazur's theorem) to derive the weak* portion of the corollary, wouldn't we need for the weak topology on X* to equal the weak* topology on X* ?

Thanks!

If you have a moment to vote
There are two administrators (HerbyThyme and myself) currently asking for checkuser rights. Checkuser is a tool used to help clean up and discourage vandalism on wikibooks, allowing us to block IP addresses that are used by vandals, while at the same time letting us be sure we don't accidentally block a good contributor who might be sharing that IP address.

The place to vote is Requests_for_adminship (for Herby) and Requests_for_adminship (for me). Unlike most tool requests, Checkuser is required to have a minimum of 25 votes, since this tool is given by Wikimedia stewards, rather than local users. Thanks for contributing to Wikibooks! -- SB_Johnny | talk 14:40, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Abstract Algebra and Differential Equations
I see that you have done great work on the Functional Analysis Book, and I think that you might be able to help on the Abstract Algebra and the Differential Equations books which are currently in a state of neglect. I think that it may be important to improve these books.--A (talk) 23:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Do not redirect subjects to bookshelves
Do not redirect subjects to bookshelves. The bookshelves have progressively been deleted and redirected to subjects, not the other way around. I consider what you did to Subject:Mathematics vandalism and so I ask that you not do that again. Please leave any concerns at Reading room/General. -- Adrignola talk contribs 02:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * (Reply to Adrignola.) For what it is worth, the fact that we are switching from bookshelves to subjects is poorly advertised to editors. I don't think there was any intentional vandalism here.  Particularly not from an TakuyaMurata who has been making positive contributions to many of the books on the topic of mathematics for years.  Maybe we should have one of those little banners you have to dismiss after log in saying, "Hey guess what we are doing...". At least mention it on the announcement board (not that this really gets much traffic). Just remember to assume good faith.Thenub314 (talk) 08:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * (Comment to TakuyaMurata) Hi, I am particularly disappointed with the mathematics subject page. I have been hoping to make it more like the bookshelf page, but it is not clear how people feel about this.  I thought I would draw your attention to a thread in the reading room, here.


 * I also wanted to revive the long long dead WikiProject Mathematics project, just as a place to discuss mathematics related issues. This is perhaps more of a daydream then anything else but I thought I would draw your attention to it.  Keep up your recent good work at Functional analysis, it hasn't gone unnoticed. Thenub314 (talk) 08:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, apparently some editors want to abandon bookshelves and switch to a new organization system. I really don't understand why. Subject:Mathematics looks far inferior to Mathematics bookshelf. Why switch? But more important, you can just force people to switch to the new system. You first need to establish the consensus. There wasn't any vote or polls, for example. -- Taku (talk) 12:02, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Let me start over. Nobody's vandalizing anything; let's just get on the same page with this. There was a very involved discussion on this. It was just so long ago that people have forgotten about it. See Reading_room/Archives/2007/November. This was not my idea in the first place, as you'll see this was before I even began here. I also requested comments at Reading_room/General before the links were changed. I finally discussed the issue in IRC where two other administrators agreed that the main page should be changed to "be bold". Consensus either way cannot be established if people do not participate. I may indeed create a sitenotice if that is what it take to get people involved. Otherwise, I can only assume they do not care either way. The momentum was toward subjects. If there's something wrong with them, please provide particulars (and hopefully solutions) so they can be the improvement they were supposed to be. -- Adrignola talk contribs 13:00, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Basic Algebra
This book needs to comply with Naming policy, which requires books to be title-cased. There is already a book named Basic Algebra, so this book needs to be renamed to something else. -- Adrignola talk contribs 14:02, 30 May 2010 (UTC)


 * For what it is worth I have moved the book to Introduction to Rings and Algebras. This was just a quick something I picked glancing at the TOC but not reading the book, rename it if there is something you feel is more appropriate. Thenub314 (talk) 15:36, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
