A cat? A human? A cat-face human? A human-face cat? Nope. Just a nerdy Wikipedian who likes to write and revise — until near-burnout level is achieved...

Short intro

A nerdy/obsessive cat Wikipedian obsessed about bringing "encyclopedic toning" and other technical stuffs to the Web, including, though not limited to, a great deal of mathematical "gibberishes" that most normal people would just give a blank stare and pass by:

  • Editing tone: professorial
  • Editing length: rather long/quite long
  • Editing subjects: technical/quasi-technical/general

By the way, if Wikipedia server hiccups scare you, don't forget to [https://donate.wikimedia.org sacrifice your coffee budget] to Wikipedia so that it can disrupt Google and make the world more erudite! And if you hate Wikipedia, well, a confused kitten has just lost some part of its soul!

P.S. — This user occasionally shows signs of a typical Level I Wikipediholic, and has the tendency to keep on editing until near exhaustion is achieved.

Cool math stuffs

Wikipedian's "must read"

  • Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style
  • ✅ "James's house"
  • ✅ En-dash: "pp. 1–2", "January 1999 – December 2000"
  • No space around em-dash
  • Use {{nowrap}} for unbreakable space
  • ❌ "I...", "We... ", "you...", "note that...", "remember that....", "of course...", "clearly", "obviously..." (presumptious language by MOS:NOTE)
  • Avoid contractions
  • Help:Introduction to the Manual of Style/All
  • Lead
  • Standalone overview of article
  • One-to-four paragraphs
  • Sections
  • One-to-four paragraphs recommended
  • Sentence case
  • Omit first "the" or "a"
  • Words
  • Avoid relative time terms (e.g., "recently")
  • For single-digit quantities, write "one", ... "nine" (not "1",... "9")
  • For approximate dates, "c. " is preferred (over "approx." or "circa".
  • Use {{nbsp}} for unbreakable space
  • Citations
  • Paraphrase preferred over quotes
  • Use existing citation style
  • Wikilink
  • First occurrence
  • Avoid unnecessary piping
  • Avoid "cryptic piping" (clickbaity)
  • Avoid linking common terms
  • Keep anchor text and target article title similar
  • External Links
  • Each link followed by a description
  • Wikipedia:Manual of Style
  • Quotes within " " or as blockquote {{quote}} (not italic)
  • Start quotes with capital letter unless integrated to text
  • Precede quote with colon, comma or no punctuation (case-to-case)
  • End quote with period or question mark only if it's part of quote
  • For dashes: unspaced em-dash or spaced en-dash only
  • Do not add comma if confuse or alter meaning
  • Avoid use of "/" generally (e.g., and/or, parent/instructor)
  • No "?" or "!" (except in quote)
  • "Current" -> {{as of}}
  • No "we" except the author's we in scientific text (better change to passive voice in this case)
  • Avoid distractive wikilinking
  • Use external links sparingly even if relevant
  • Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Mathematics
  • Short Introduction > § Definition > § Examples/Applications > § History > § Generalization > § See also > § References > § Bibliography/Sources > § External links/Further reading
  • Opt for "for all", "there exists", "in" and "is defined by" rather than ∀, ∃, ∈, =.
  • ❌ "It must be mentioned that...", "It must be emphasized that...", "Consider that...", "We see that..."
  • ❌ "Iff", "wrt", "wlog"
  • Avoid talking the reader directly. Conversations undermine encyclopedic tone big time.
  • Avoid starting a sentence with symbols.
  • Avoid LaTeX in headings
  • For one-line formulas, indent with ":" followed by LaTeX markup (in source-code editing).
  • For quotes, indent as proses (":" in visual editing, which has a wider indentation length than the one in source-code mode).
  • Never attempt to number the references manually (both in the reference list and in the content). Use the Cite button in the visual builder (or the tag).
  • Sample featured pages to be modeled after: Logarithm, Pi, Euclidean algorithm, Group (mathematics), Leonhard Euler, Georg Cantor, Algebra,
  • 0.999...
  • 1 − 2 + 3 − 4 + ⋯
  • Parity of zero
  • Polar coordinate system
  • Problem of Apollonius
  • Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists
  • No list if can be rephrased easily into a paragraph
  • Capitalize first letter of a list even for sentence fragments
  • Don't mix sentences with sentence fragments
  • No period if not a complete sentence
  • Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout#"See also" section
  • Internal links only
  • Related to the topics
  • Tangentially related item should include an annotation (e.g., Everyman – made a similar achievement on April 4, 2005)
  • Sorted logically, chronologically or alphabetically
  • Should not link to
  • Non-existent pages
  • Deambiguation pages (save in deambiguations pages themselves)
  • Links already included in the article's body.
  • Double-check to see if the new item is not already linked in the body!
  • Wikipedia:Reliable sources
  • Cite reputable, secondary sources known to have an established fact-checking mechanism.
  • ❌ Wiki, forum, social media, personal pages
  • ❌ Sponsored content (e.g., symposium, supplements to academic journals)
  • ✅ Books, journals, research paper, meta-analysis
  • ✅ Mainstream media news coverage
  • Exercise caution in citing:
  • Primary research papers
  • Self-published books
  • "Ideological" journals/websites
  • Opinionated sources
  • Avoid synthesizing information from disparate sources on your own, even if the conclusion seems reasonable.
  • Wikipedia:Piped link
  • Try to integrate wikilink into articles without piping — if possible.
  • Good: public transportation, President George Washington
  • Don't use pipe links as a teaser to information that should be included in the sentence.

Other suggestions on style

  • When wikilinking, double-check to see if you're not mistakenly linking to a deambiguation page.
  • Refrain from the encyclopedic version of "finger-pointing" in general.
  • Rethink about from using "this", "that", "above", "below" as location words.
  • Instead of "see the page Cat below for more", use "for more, see Cat".
  • Instead of "in that section, we alluded to...", use "see § Cat#section." in the form of footnote (or use the slink template).
  • If possible, try to rephrase "in this discussion" or "in this article" out of the discussion. Best to wikilink to the appropriate section or use an anchor.
  • Try to rephrase "say that" out of the paragraphs—whenever possible.
  • For math formulas typeset in TeX, the additional unwanted space, if exist, might be eliminated by adding an additional space in the source code.
  • Use italic for emphasis only. Boldface is for keywords, not emphasis.
  • "Further reading" is more informative than "External links".
