Geometry terms

Hi there, I just noticed you have been playing with the geometry term list things, but I'm not sure where you are going with it.

Can I suggest that (like the other "term lists") they simply be removed? Categories are a much better way to group subjects on a wiki, since they are automatic. I did something like that to, I think, a musical instrument list that started from the "index" page. Example: say someone writes a nice article on a new geometry term. They would have to know, somehow, to add it to the term list. But any editor is likely to add [[category:geometry]], which automatically adds it to the nicely alphabetized category page, and creates a link to that page as well.

The term lists may have served a function in the early days of the site, but are a redundant workaround when categories are available.

Just a thought. Oh, and PS, hope you're having a lovely Sunday! Human 21:49, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

I think the categories are a great idea. I keep forgetting to put them on the pages I edit! I think the indexes are necessary for some of the very broad subjects (such as the history terms). These indexes are geared towards students and are intended to help them in their studies by outlining the most important facts they need to know. Having all the terms in one category is pretty overwhelming, and the alphabetical indexes help to divide the terms into smaller chunks. Also, the Indexes are much more accessible for students who don't know much about Wikis and how to use the categories, since they are right on the side bar. I personally prefer the categories, but think we should keep the indexes for the time being. Thanks, ~ Sharon^Talk 21:59, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

Vandalism?

(Gulik2, here.) Just because you didn't LIKE the facts I posted, that doesn't make them 'vandalism'. --Gulik3 17:42, 19 May 2007 (EDT)

Three days or banned again, eh? Hey, no pressure getting in the way of doing actual RESEARCH or anything there... --Gulik3 23:53, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Sharon, the above idiot was blocked, for doing what he did best, which was not research (like he claimed we didn't), not edit well (wrote like Dick and Jane), and just plain stupid all over. Karajou 01:22, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

Nice new entry!

Sharon, terrific new entry on perfectly contestable markets!--Aschlafly 10:33, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
