→New promotional math articles: it's actually at ANI now! |

: [[Nicolás Atanes]] was also very promotional when first created; it's now been stubbed down (and is still not a good article but at least is not overwhelmed with promotionalism). [Of course you MarkH21 know this, since you did much of the cleanup.] Most of these topics are closely related to Atanes, suggesting paid editing or at a minimum a serious COI. Probably worth a trip to [[WP:COIN]]. --[[User:JayBeeEll|JBL]] ([[User_talk:JayBeeEll|talk]]) 22:01, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

== Proposal: Demystify math written in symbols by including programming language style code side-by-side ==
I'd be surprised if this doesn't come up, but it seems like the math articles are particularly low on value to readers not well versed in mathematical symbols. As a programmer I find these symbols looks impressive and cryptic, but rewritten in computer language style code can appear very trivial and unimpressive and hence easier to grasp, since computer language works with only a few rudimentary symbols instead of abstract levels of arbitrary symbols. All I'm saying is Wikipedia could be a great resource to teach math concepts if it did this I think, and programmers could benefit from being able to easily use math concepts in their work without deciphering them like hieroglyphics first --[[Special:Contributions/72.173.4.14|72.173.4.14]] ([[User talk:72.173.4.14|talk]]) 10:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
