Hi Azjps, you've been doing a lot of nice work. I have one minor recurring complaint: you begin a lot of articles with a phrase like, "An invariant refers to ...." This doesn't make sense. There are (at least) two possible alternatives: one is, "The term invariant refers to ..." and the other is, "An invariant is ...." I personally prefer the latter, as it's substantially more direct. Anyhow, this is obviously not a huge deal, but I just thought I'd mention it. --[[User:JBL|JBL]] 23:38, 2 March 2010 (UTC) | Hi Azjps, you've been doing a lot of nice work.

Note
I am testing a short greasemonkey script to (semi-)automatically format contest articles, under the hope that this can make the articles here consistent and easily accessible. Apologies for the flood of edits; comments and suggestions are greatly welcomed. azjps (talk) 05:33, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Cone
Hi Azjps, thanks for the cones! Two (hopefully minor) requests: right now, both cones seem really large. It is possible to make them smaller or put them in a box to the side or something? Also, in the oblique cone, the segment labeled 
shouldn't be, but it might be nice to include an actual radius of the circle in the picture, too.
Thanks! --JBL 23:21, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- Wonderful, looks beautiful, thanks! --JBL 23:58, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
"Refers to"
Hi Azjps, you've been doing a lot of nice work. I have one minor recurring complaint: you begin a lot of articles with a phrase like, "An invariant refers to ...." This doesn't make sense. There are (at least) two possible alternatives: one is, "The term invariant refers to ..." and the other is, "An invariant is ...." I personally prefer the latter, as it's substantially more direct. Anyhow, this is obviously not a huge deal, but I just thought I'd mention it. --JBL 23:38, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Help
I've been on this website many times before and need help with some maths questions. I wasn't sure who to ask for help, so I just chose an admin.
Well here are two problems I need help with:
1. Given five distinct points A, B, C, P, Q in the plane, no three are collinear. Prove that AB + BC + CA + PQ < AP + AQ + BP + BQ + CP + CQ. 2. (p, q) is the gcd of p and q. Find all positive integers x, y, z such that x+y = (x, y)^2 y+z = (y, z)^2 z+x = (z, x)^2
Thanks! Can you tell me a bit about how the wiki works? I'm not really sure and it's so big I don't really know what to do.
