Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. I don't know why this was placed, as you can tell from my edit history, I am a legitimate longtime wikignome. Could my laptop have a virus???? Billymac00 (talk) 16:15, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This account isn't blocked. If you are hit by an IP block, you'll need to tell us the IP address to look into the issue. If you prefer privacy, WP:UTRS is available. That said, it seems more likely that you're using some strange proxy server than that your laptop is infected - no guarantees, though. Huon (talk) 16:49, 15 May 2016 (UTC) I hope you see this. I have the screenshot, it says IP 216.252.198.54 blocked by User Bbb23. I am not savvy on the stuff you talk ok. I just want to be able to edit again. I couldn't even reach your talk page, the block message comes up.[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Wikipedia's Expert Peer Review process (or lack of such) for Science related articles

Hi - I posted the section with the same name on my talk page. Could you take part in discussion ? Thanks ARP Apovolot (talk) 20:55, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

>I am curious what code do you use to validate? Pari? Mathematica?

Pari

>as you know the form (r^2-s^2)=t! does have solutions (7,5,6)

Above "troika" (7,5,6) cited by you does not correspond to any value of "n" in my conjecture

   n! + n^2 = m^2 

If you suggest that n=3 then 3! + 3^2 = 6 + 9 = 15 If you suggest that n=4 then 4! + 4^2 = 24 + 16 = 40

So what "n" did you have in mind ? ;-)

>see this link, speaks directly to your 1st posed question >(3e)" ...Prove that n! cannot be written as the difference of two >integer squares if >and only if n = 2 or n = 3 ..."

No - it doesn't speak directly ... They are different ... Barbeau's

n! + l^2 = m^2

is not requiring the left side (each of two members) to be the function of the same "n" but my conjecture n! + n^2 = m^2 does ...

Barbeau's therefore has two solutions (for n = 2 or n = 3)

while my conjecture has the only ONE trivial solution

n = 0, m = 1

0! + 0^2 = 1

Bernoulli Numbers&Twin Primes

I submitted A156053 which shows the proximity of the Bernoulli Number denominators encountering Twin Primes (adjacent to). Here is the related Wikicommons image: [2]. Note Y is log scale, 202 pairs encountered in 1st 15000 BNs.

OEIS A129912

Ok, image posted at: [3]. I personally think it shows the beautiful structure of the primes. A second image [4] illustrates a prelim relationship with the Twin Primes, though the dataset is limited.

A117825, A005846

Images for these are now here: A117825 [5]. A005846 [6] The former relates to Highly Composite Numbers and the offset to the nearest prime. The latter is the classic n^2+n+41 using the prime numbers for n ...

List of Wolfram Alpha functions

Proposed deletion of List of Wolfram Alpha functions

The article List of Wolfram Alpha functions has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The number of functions could be extremely large, hence this list could only ever be a woefully incomplete. Calling these functions is also confusing. See WP:STAND

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Salix (talk): 17:56, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Glossary of computer chess terms

Thanks for those suggested additions at Talk:Glossary of computer chess terms. So far I'm the only one who has edited that page, so if you have the time and inclination to add any items yourself that would be great. Otherwise it's good to have recorded ways that the page can be improved. Quale (talk) 07:33, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of people from Bakersfield, California may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Request reason:

I hope you see this. I have the screenshot, it says IP 216.252.198.54 blocked by User Bbb23. I am not savvy on the stuff you talk ok. I just want to be able to edit again. I couldn't even reach your talk page, the block message comes up. I have a gmail account for conversation if that helps.

Accept reason:

I consulted with another CheckUser and there is a possibility you are using this IP legitimately. I've therefore given you the benefit of the doubt and unblocked. Sorry for the inconvenience.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:54, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The IP 216.252.198.54 indeed was blocked as a colocation webhost that effectively serves as an anonymizing proxy. Such proxies may be blocked on sight, as happened here. Bbb23 may want to check whether reducing the block to anon-only might suffice. Huon (talk) 18:11, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:List of prime numbers, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. JBL (talk) 18:10, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
