You seem to find all the oldest pages!

This project started on the 12th of Feb 2015 and it seems you've found all the oldest pages! Back when I didn't really know how to use a wiki! If you do find any that are bad, please mark them with {{Dire page}} this makes them a priority for being turned into "stub pages", stubs marked with {{Stub page}} - this means they're short and need fleshing out but provide some useful information. Lastly, if you encounter anything with 1 reference, or few references (for a large bit of content) please mark it with {{Requires references}}. The other to-do markers are:

• {{Todo}} - for small things, like add a few links, minor change
• {{Requires proof}} - some things are missing proofs.

In the old pages EVERYTHING uses the {{Todo}} template, which has given the To-do category a lot of clutter.

Lastly (on the note of marking), all these to-do templates support a comment, so for example you can use:

• {{Requires proof|Simple, just show {{M|X\implies Y}}}} say.

Measure theory is the oldest area (that's what I was working on at the time), as such I've started Site projects:Patrolling measure theory which is a snapshot of the entire measure theory category as it stood when the project started. This should ensure a minimum standard of quality across the site. Alec (talk) 20:56, 19 March 2016 (UTC) PS: I hope you've seen some good pages!

I just took the first pages listed on Category:Definitions. Do you want me to do differently? Which way? I do not have a good orientation on this site, of course. Boris (talk) 21:05, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Ah of course, alphabetically! I was joking about how you've found some of the oldest pages here! There's no wrong way to browse. Alec (talk) 21:23, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Some questions.

It just occurred to me that I can ask questions, you don't have to answer of course. There are a few things I haven't been able to work out.

1. When a measure is "continuous from below", continuous with respect to what?
2. Regarding Addition of vector spaces, I am not experienced enough to decide on a notation to stick to (and there are some contradictions, as noted on the note page), what do you take:
   1. [ilmath]\bigoplus[/ilmath]
   2. [ilmath]\bigoplus^\text{ext} [/ilmath] / [ilmath]\boxplus[/ilmath]
   3. [ilmath]\sum[/ilmath]
   4. [ilmath]\prod[/ilmath]

   to mean (Especially over arbitrary families)? I want to commit and write the page, but I'm afraid to do so until I understand the definitions and how they differ (even if there are trivial/canonical isomorphisms between them). Anything without a warning or not in a notes page is supposed to be trust-worthy.

I am surprised and quite pleased that there are only 2! Alec (talk) 23:28, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
