Wikipedia:Mathematics Collaboration of the Week

This page is designed to help choose a Mathematics Collaboration of the Week. This is a specific mathematics-related topic which either has no article, a basic stub page, or needs major revision. The aim is to have a featured-standard article by the end of the two weeks, from widespread cooperative editing.

The project aims to fill gaps in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Anyone can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every week, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

Cambridge Mathematical Tripos

The current Mathematics Collaboration of the Week is Cambridge Mathematical Tripos.
Please help improving this article to featured article standard.
Last week's collaboration was Mathematical Proof

[edit] Selecting the next Collaboration of the Week

Voting
- Only registered users should vote.
- Please vote for as many of the following candidates as you like.
- To enter your votes, simply edit the appropriate sections and insert a new line with "# ~~~~". This will add your username and a time stamp in a new numbered list item.
- Please add only support votes. Opposing votes will not affect the result, as the winner is simply the one with the most support votes (see approval voting).

[edit] Nominations

Nominations
- New nominations may be added by anyone at any time at the end of this page. Please use the template at the bottom of this page.
- If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{MathCOTW}} to the top of its talk page.
Considerations for nominations
- Please only nominate articles which fit one or more of the following guidelines:
  - The article does not currently exist.
  - The article is 2 paragraphs or less.
  - The article is 1000 characters or less.
  - The article is in poor condition, and likely needs to be rewritten or extensively revised.
- For non-stubs, submitting the article to pages needing attention, cleanup, peer review, or requests for expansion may be more appropriate.
- Consider whether the wider community easily contribute to the article or only a small number of people will know about.
- Giving reasons as to why an article should become the COTW may assist others in casting their vote. If you have a to-do list feel free to include it.

Voting for your own article
- You are allowed (and encouraged) to vote for articles that you nominate.

[edit] Andrew Wiles

The Andrew Wiles at present does not give very information about Wiles' work and it's affect on mathematics and furture mathematicians. Wiles' insight and techquenes are have been studied by many mathematicians.

Support Wiles is a 'well-known' person in the public for his work with Fermat's last theorem and the current article needs a lot of work Snailwalker | talk 13:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Theorem

This article is identified in WP:CORE and Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0 as being a core wikipedia article yet received the second worst rating of Start, being only just better than a stub. It was given the comment unorganized. This article is currently specific to mathematics, although Category:Theorems covers the other sciences as well. --Salix alba (talk) 13:34, 15 April 2006 (UTC) Amir Aliev 16:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Equilibrium

Is currently a disambig page, but could either include a section discussing the meaning in mathematics, or make a new article, perhaps Equilibrium (mathematics) that discusses the concept and then links to various applied fields, as listed on the disambiguation page. Also see Steady state (disambiguation).
