:Talk:Mandelbrot set#Splitting the Article

The Mandelbrot set was used as a decorative motif for a kind of space portal in Episode 11 of Space 1999. The episode was broadcast in 1975: https://editorial01.shutterstock.com/wm-preview-1500/813719gk/4fbb5a0c/gtv-archive-shutterstock-editorial-813719gk.jpg

I made this website dedicated to the mandelbrot set (and Julia set). (it takes a sec to load) But is it something worth including on the wiki page?

:Hi Peter. At the least it needs a much better explanation of what is going on. What are we looking at? What do mouse movements do? What are the sliders on the top? What do the function entries do? I'm thinking the mouse generates a complex constant that is then added to the function and then iterated. Is that right? Need an explanation at the high school math level.--agr (talk) 15:02, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

::Thanks for the feedback.

::Are you suggesting adding this exlpanation on my web site itself, or having it around/before the linked is pressed.

::Just wanted to clarify.

::But I do agree, it could be clearer. (Although there is a brief description if you press ' i ' ). Peter-3113 (talk) 19:04, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

::I have added more info now.

::Hope this helps.

Dr Jason Lisle a scientist with a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Colorado Boulder, in his book, Fractals: The Secret Code of Creation writes that the Mandelbrot set provides proof of God's existence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.143.179.67 (talk) 21:50, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

:Even astrophysics Ph. D.s get carried away once in a while. As stated elsewhere, the Mandelbrot set actually proves that god does NOT exist. 2001:9E8:460D:E100:409A:7FD9:901B:FA86 (talk) 14:24, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey everyone! I'd like to replace the [https://mandelbrot.silversky.dev/ current Mandelbrot viewer] link in the external links section with a [https://mandelbrot.site/ faster and easier to use one]. Please let me know if you have any objections, thanks. cc Jdbtwo 2607:FEA8:5DF:2900:68E9:98EC:1CA:EC71 (talk) 01:19, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

:You might want to contact {{Ping|Adrian.Rabenseifner}} as he's the editor that added the original link (mandelbrot.silversky.dev) on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mandelbrot_set&oldid=1084566012#External_links 25th of April 2022] Jdbtwo (talk) 14:43, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

:Since it's been almost a week and nobody's objected, I think it would be safe to go ahead and replace the existing link in the external links section with yours. Jdbtwo (talk) 14:10, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

folks, I am really sorry but this is a really really shitty article cause it is not pitched for the general reader (ie me, a person whose math stops at 1st semester high school algebra)

honestly you all can really do better — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:197:D00:3CA0:ACD7:7FEF:C3E0:1607 (talk) 14:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

:It is very difficult to make such complicated concepts accessible to the average individual. The Mandelbrot set is not for someone with 1st semester high school algebra as their maximum education in mathematics. I am not attempting to mock you when I say that. 71.221.194.121 (talk) 00:39, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

:folks, i am really sorry but who the hell changed the mandelbrot set article like its some sort of vandalization??? 2A02:85F:E8D5:2C00:D188:EFA1:CC0C:A223 (talk) 12:47, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Bold 197.211.59.74 (talk) 03:45, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

This article made a lot of claims without citing sources, which I have partly fixed. Many of the claims turned out to have been copied from sources, and I have marked those as "close paraphrasing". (If someone can fix the phrasing on those claims, that would be great – I probably won't.) There's still a lot of unsourced material, so I have kept the maintenance template at the top of the article, but removed the subsection templates since there are now at least a couple sources per section.
