I apologize for my quick revert of your edits at ]; I see there is a confusion between the use of ''n'' as the order of the group and as the index of the dihedral group that I missed.

Hello. I see that you undid my moving of "1st Century" to "First Century". Why did you do that?

If you write |

:: In category theory, |

|
or |
|
|
:: In group theory, |

that utterly fails to give the lay reader any hint that mathematics is what the article is about. "In geometry" or "In number theory" or "In algebra" or "In abstract algebra" or "In mathematical analysis" or "In calculus" or "In arithmetic" are terms that typical lay readers understand. "In category theory" is not. Nor "In topology". In some cases, there is no need for any such context-setting phrase because the title of the article already does it, for example '''Mathematical induction''' or '''Algebraic number''' or '''Algebra of permutations'''. ] (]) 18:04, 9 June 2015 (UTC) |

If I were administrator, I'd at least elevate my language without even trying (for e.g., I'd never tell any editor to "fuck off my Talk page" under any circumstances, as Drmies typically does and has become normalized behavior from admins on WP). I know how to be professional when I choose - I've spoken with company CEOs, given presentations to auditoriums consisting of hundreds of people, and to technically oriented audience. I know how to remain professional and divorce my personal ego when called upon to communicate or perform tasks. But I have no desire to administrate (I've had userbox "This editor is not an administrator and does not wish to be one" on my userpage since 25 July 2011), or be part of a corrupted and poorly thought-out governance structure in serious need of reform. When WP evolves its governace structure from the current shameless state to something more world-respectable, there probably won't be any admins as we know them today. The admin structure on WP has fostered an obvious culture similar to police in society, who socialize among themselves and are essentially an isolated subset from the larger society. One officer's questionable actions are not questioned or reported or interferred with by any other officer, as that would be tantamount to professional suicide. And police officers want to keep their jobs and not be estranged from their fellow officers. So it is on WP. Except these aren't paying "jobs" that pay their children's college educations; these are roles that feed their egos, until tired of it and they become "inactive admins". An admin's badge is more important to her or him than rescuing some innocent editor from being hamstrung. This is all human nature at its ugly side, let loose by a poory fathomed organizational methodology. ] (]) 02:35, 21 June 2015 (UTC) |

== RfA nominations == |
|
|
|
|

Hi. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I do not think you are sufficiently aware of our adminship system and what it entails to be an admin to be nominating other users. It is generally not standard practice to go ahead and create RfA pages without first discussing with the candidate. A nominator should also do ''extensive'' research in order to be 99.9% certain that their candidate will pass. We already have mechanisms in place for recruiting admin candidates. Please read ] then ] (all of it) to learn more. Thanks. --] (]) 07:43, 21 June 2015 (UTC) |
