I did read everything you said and I do know how to do math. I hope you are able to enact the change you want to see in Wikipedia and the article. Good luck.

I did read everything you said

Clearly you didn't, given you keep telling me to take it up with Harvard/Wiki

enact the change you want to see in Wikipedia

See?? There you go again ignoring what I told you about Wikipedia ๐Ÿ™„

[โ€“] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I haven't ignored anything you said. I'm telling you that if you have a problem with those that you should contact them to fix them.

I havenโ€™t ignored anything you said.

You've ignored everything I've said about Wikipedia.

Iโ€™m telling you that if you have a problem with those that you should contact them to fix them

and you have again ignored what I told you about them ๐Ÿ™„

It's funny that you define "ignore" as "not doing what you tell someone to" because by that definition you've been ignoring me too. Go edit the article if you feel this strongly.

Itโ€™s funny that you define โ€œignoreโ€ as โ€œnot doing what you tell someone toโ€

Nope, I didn't.

because by that definition youโ€™ve been ignoring me too

I'm ignoring the person failing to cite Maths textbooks, yes, that's correct.

Go edit the article if you feel this strongly

Go read what I said about what happens when ACTUAL MATHS PROFESSORS have tried to do EXACTLY THAT ๐Ÿ™„

Go tell Wikipedia about that, not me. It's a community you can join. You very clearly feel very strongly about it. Talking to me about it isn't going to change anything.

Go tell Wikipedia about that, not me

I'm telling you, the person pretending that it's mathematically valid information

Itโ€™s a community you can join

Yep, and be defeated, just like the Maths Professor Rick Norwood was, repeatedly.

You very clearly feel very strongly about it.

Maths textbooks, yes, which you keep ignoring

Talking to me about it isnโ€™t going to change anything

And you talking about it isn't going to change that you are wrong

Open a textbook

I've been telling you to do that the whole time and you still refuse ๐Ÿ˜‚

Tell them, not me

Tell them you refuse to open a Maths textbook? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes. Go tell Wikipedia that I won't open a textbook.
