	== tangent vectors on the sphere ==

	Reminder:
	:<math>\chi(\mathbb{S}^n)=1+(-1)^n</math>
	and by ], there can be no nonvanishing vectors if the ] doesn't vanish (confer ]). Thus, only for ''n'' odd are there nonvanishing vector fields. In this case, let
	:<math> n+1 = (2m+1) 2^{4a+b}\mbox{ where }0 \le b \le 3</math>
	then there are 2<sup>''b''</sup>+8*''a''−1 independent vector fields. Thus it follows that if ''n'' is 0, 1, 3 or 7, there are ''n'' independent vector fields so the corresponding ]s are trivial. These also give constructions for the 4 ]s.

	== gauge ==
	The criterion I like is to say a 1-parameter group of symmetries
	is "physical" if its generator does not vanish by virtue of the
	equations of motion, and "gauge" if the generator does vanish
	when the equations of motion hold. If our symmetry is "gauge"
	we should mod out by it; if it's "physical" we should not.
	::-]

	Usually people don't bother
	to define "forgetful functor" very precisely - like pornography,
	you're just supposed to know a forgetful functor when you see it.

	== failures of wikipedia ==

	=== the password list debacle ===

	Wikipedians, in their infinite wisdom, voted not to delete a which exposed users' passwords, because the users in question were probably trolls. Developer Brion Vibber said this about it:

	<div style="border: 1px solid #ffad80; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #fff7cb; margin: 3px 3px 0;">
	Nonetheless, this list was at best borderline with respect to our privacy policy. I deleted it as soon as I was made aware it was still here (I'd been under the impression it had been deleted within hours of originally being posted, and no one has contacted me or the developers team about it that I'm aware of). If the site admins here on en.wikipedia.org didn't remove it, that's a group failure and I'm rather disappointed.

	=== spreading misinformation via wikipedia ===
	] included the following line to the of the ] article

	:"Priests of the inquisition roamed the city, rounding up "heretics" and hanging them on the spot for angering God"

	It stayed in the article for years, spreading all over the ], and was eventually quoted in the ] , and from there it was tracked down by some Catholic who knew it to be obviously false. This resulted in for Misplaced Pages, and then he was where that information had come from, to which Viajero (who is an administrator and so a trusted member) never replied.

	==Lethe's inappropriate behavior violating Wiki rules==

	On Mar 26, 2006, at 2:35 PM, Jack Sarfatti wrote to his list:
	Apparently Lethe wrote:
	He was formerly known as "Jack Sarfatt", and changed his surname to "Sarfatti" in 1974. (His earlier publications are written under the name Jack Sarfatt, and later publications under the name Jack Sarfatti.)

	The above is false. My real name was "Sarfatti". My father's name is Hyman Sarfatti. My two brother's names are Michael and David Sarfatti. The "i" was omitted by error on my 1939 birth certificate and my father had it CORRECTED in 1974. My real name was RESTORED!
