This section under construction. I may need to consult with some sysops on this. Fixing the [[Compass and straightedge]] article is an important item.

The comment above, about consulting with sysops, referred to the fact that I was blocked and reverted by Daniel Pulido after an earlier attempt to discuss math, so I wanted to contact him by email to get his approval. But he has himself been blocked, so maybe things are OK.

*[[Center]]—This has been a disaster for a long time. I really don't know how to write the "headline" sentence for this; that is, what's the first thing you say about what the "center" of a geometrical shape is? I solicit any insight that Ed (or anyone else) can provide.

==More thoughts on math==
Since there is a renewal of interest in writing mathematical articles, I'd like for people to feel free to use my [[User_talk:SamHB|talk page]] for discussion of math articles, if they so desire. I may be able to offer advice or guidance, or suggest fruitful topics.
People should also feel free to discuss math writing in general, including the topic that is near and dear to me—setting the right educational level for our expected audience. I only ask that:
*Do not tell me we need extremely advanced articles at the college level. See [[Talk:Algebra|here]] for the latest example of misguided advice along these lines. Just don't ask. I'm not interested.
*If criticizing my or anyone else's writing level or style, please provide a link to a sample of your own writing on the same or equivalent topic and at the same depth, so that we can see just what you have in mind.
