Exponentiation
[edit]Hi Earl of Arundel,
It doesn't seem to me like there's any point continuing our conversation on the reference desk, but I wanted to address one or two things from your last message to me. You wrote,
You still haven't addressed the division-by-zero issue. At any rate, the interpretation of 0^0 is, again, dependent on some convention. I understand that. I was specifically referring to any given g(x) that does not itself evaluate to zero. Or am I missing something? Earl of Arundel (talk) 11:24 am, Today (UTC−6)
Your first sentence is mistaken; the function that I defined could be written more formulaically as follows: There is no issue of division by 0 in its definition, and no convention is necessary to understand the limit of g(x)^x as x approaches 0. On the question of what happens if g(x) approaches some other value than 0 (which you say you wished to restrict focus to, though I do not think this was clear from what you wrote earlier), this is easy to read off already from Trovatore's very nice comment; we have , and with a suitable choice of branch of the logarithm the term approaches some constant, the exponent approaches 0 and so the entire expression approaches 1.
All the best, JBL (talk) 20:35, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, but whenever x = 0 then g(x) is also defined as evaluating to zero. That's a convention (albeit, a perfectly logical one). And that was precisely what I wasn't aware of when I made the remark about division by zero. But otherwise I agree and do appreciate the enlightening elaboration. Cheers!

Disambiguation link notification for March 10
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mark Lane. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Use of ambiguous words, March 2017
[edit]In attempt to use sophisticated vocabulary, kindly do not add ambiguous words, which can lead a sentence to have a dubious meaning. This occurred previously in your edits when you used "so-called dictabelt evidence" in John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, casting a doubt on the authenticity of the dictabelt recording itself.
This refelcted again in your recent edits on David Atlee Phillips when you edited "In 2014, at a conference dubbed The Warren Report and the JFK Assassination [...]", giving an impression that either the conference never took place, or that it was renamed later.
Kindly be precautious with the words you use from now on. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:27, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- You have a poor command of the English language, that's the problem. Just to illustrate, you've mistakenly used the word 'precautious' instead of 'cautious'. Perhaps you would be better off editing this encyclopedia instead? Or, at the very least, stop bothering other editors for their use of common-usage phrases which you've inadvertently read out of context (and moreover, which had only been inserted in the first place because you had introduced a grammatical error into an article). Anyway, Wikipedia is free to edit. If you think you have a better choice a words in mind then go right ahead. Earl of Arundel (talk) 20:12, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- I have good command over English language. I am human, and mistakes happen. Mine was a mistake, but yours is repeatation of uncommonly used phrases, and words. You think your vocabulary is common, but it is not.
- I used the word "precautious" correctly. Similar to the word "revert", there are many words that have different meanings in different parts of the world. (If you dont know, in some parts of the world, the word "revert" is used as a synonym for "reply".)
- Thats the issue of English Wikipedia. It is not limited to any one particular country. It is global. So it must be constucted in such way that meaning will remain the same in any part of the world.
- I hope you are understanding what I am trying to say here. It is not about making the Wikipedia "simple", it is about making it global.
- It is not just about the command over English language, or the grammatical accuracy. You previously made one "grammatically correct" edit, which changed the meaning of almost entire article. If you dont remember, this edit of yours resulted in these two lengthy discussions: discussion 1, and discussion 2. From one of these discussions, it is evident that you discussed this edit on another user's talkpage as well.
- And if such discussions, suggestions and/or warnings were considered as "bothering", the talkpages wouldnt have existed on wikipedia, as it is their purpose. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:11, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- You say your English is good, and yet cannot even use the word 'repetition' correctly! (Which you've misspelled horribly, by the way.) I think we're done here. Thank you for the input. Earl of Arundel (talk) 21:35, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, apparently this discussion is over as you've got nothing for a real reply other than pointing out a spelling mistake. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:47, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
Starting over
[edit]As you said, we should really stop fighting. As i said earlier, i have no personal conflicts or animosity towards you. But even when i mentioned about starting over, you didnt respond anything. Hence i have no idea what you are thinking. So let me know. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:46, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- ??
I'm willing to walk on any path. Choosing it is up to you. Choose wisely. I mean, we can work on wiki as friends, or we can work "not as friends". —usernamekiran (talk) 13:02, 28 March 2017 (UTC)- You see buddy, you have responded on Oswald's talkpage, but you didnt reply to me. It feels bas when you ignore me like this Earl. It is this kind of treatment you give me that makes me think you dont want to be friends with me. I am okay with that too, but just let me know if you want to be my friend or not.
- ??
- PS: i just remembered, a long time ago, i read somewhere "Ego of goofballs doesnt get hurt usually. But if it does, they [goofballs] dont tend to forget it easily." —usernamekiran (talk) 14:24, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Earl of Arundel: dont you want to accept my friendship Earl?

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Assassination of John F. Kennedy. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sundayclose (talk) 23:15, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Civility
[edit]I wasn't aware of your feelings, as I said they seem to come out of nowhere as I've had no interaction with you ever as far as I can recall. However, you also seem unaware of my feelings. It's not nice to be called a bad steward who abuses other editors and is sociopathic. Try to empathise with how that makes me feel, and think about whether those words were civil. DrKay (talk) 23:58, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- I am so very sorry for the misunderstanding. I have been rather inundated with work lately and honestly a little stressed as a result. Regardless, I was wrong and I do apologize. Earl of Arundel (talk) 19:13, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

This should be on Wikipedia pages : Metallic Mean, and also on Pythagorean Triples
[edit]Relation to Pythagorean triples
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/AgamRiaSanga.png/220px-AgamRiaSanga.png)
Metallic means are precisely represented by primitive Pythagorean triples.
In a primitive Pythagorean triple, if the difference between hypotenuse and longer leg is 1, 2 or 8, such Pythagorean triple represents one particular metallic mean. The cotangent of the quarter of smaller acute angle of such Pythagorean triangle equals the precise value of one particular metallic mean.
In a primitive Pythagorean triple (a,b,c), if c - b = 1, 2 or 8, the Pythagorean triangle (a,b,c) exhibits a particular metallic mean ,
where
and the Metallic Mean where θ is the smaller acute angle of the Pythagorean triangle.
For example, the primitive Pythagorean triple 20-21-29 incorporates the 5th metallic mean. Cotangent of the quarter of smaller acute angle of the 20-21-29 Pythagorean triangle yields the precise value of the 5th metallic mean. Similarly, the Pythagorean triangle 3-4-5 represents the 6th metallic mean. Likewise, the Pythagorean triple 12-35-37 gives the 12th metallic mean, the Pythagorean triple 52-165-173 yields the 13th metallic mean, and so on. [1]
- Neat! I am assuming that your are asking for help? I would love to, but unfortunately rather busy these days. Perhaps you could take this to the talk page of the article in question? Also, please do be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~). Cheers! Earl of Arundel (talk) 17:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Metallic Mean page
[edit]Dear Sir, you had added the section GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION on the page Metallic Means in 2021. However, now some editor has vindictively removed that entire section from the page. You are requested to indly revert it because it is a cardinal feature of Metallic Ratios. 152.58.22.180 (talk) 17:09, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
