message: Hello -- I am trying to figure out how to get a search for "Rhinewine" to get people to my page on Abraham Rhinewine.  Not sure if this was the right way to go about it.
But if so, how do I get the "external link" button to work so that the name Abraham Rhinewine in the text of this page links to the page of that name?
Thanks in advance for answers -- just started using Wikipedia.

thread_title:  Possible mistake 

message: I just got out Atkinson from the library and went through the proof for this and there seems to be a mistake in the article when it comes to the asymptotic estimate:
: \text{error} = -\frac{(b-a)^3}{12n^2} \big( f'(b)-f'(a) \big) + O(n^{-3}).  
Atkinson Equation 5.1.9 actually reads:
: \text{error} = -\frac{h^2}{12} \big( f'(b)-f'(a) \big)  
Now I'm presuming that the big O term was added to the wiki equation to represent the error in the n\rightarrow\infty approximation...? If this is the case then the correct equation should be:
: \text{error} = -\frac{(b-a)^2}{12n^2} \big( f'(b)-f'(a) \big) + O(n^{-3}). 
Will leave this open for discussion before I go and change it because I don't know what the big O term represents

Talk:Ruan Yuan

message: This page is exceedingly poor. Someone writing from 219.77.107.65 has simply copied and pasted the blurb from the Amazon page , which is about the book Ruan Yuan, 1764-1849: The Life And Work of a Major Scholar-Official in Nineteenth-Century China Before the Opium War.
In fact, Ruan Yuan sounds like an interesting fellow. According to this page ,
:Ruan Yuan did not follow the traditional Neo-Confucian beliefs which were based on the commentaries on the classic texts by Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi. Rather he believed in evidential studies which believed that truth was best achieved by studying the classics themselves, and older commentaries on them. This approach, also known as Han Learning, had gained favour and led to huge efforts being put into collecting ancient works. Starting in 1772, when Ruan Yuan was a young boy, the Chinese Emperor Qianlong organised major searches for lost texts. Experts in textual analysis studied the texts while other experts tried to reconstruct lost texts from quotations in surviving works.
Moreover, we find that
:Ruan began his most famous work, namely the Chouren zhuan or Biographies of astronomers and mathematicians.
:In this work Ruan put forward the idea, which had been gaining credence in China for some time, that all Western sciences were of Chinese origin.

thread_title:  Kansu Muslim warriors 

message: The section  makes a reasonable point, that Ronglu, in the actual words of Paul Cohen, "made quite sure that the seige was not pressed home." (p. 54) But we should be careful to keep our own language neutral, and "sabotage" is not neutral. Besides, I do not find the word in the sources cited.
The rest of the section is similarly not neutral, out of proportion in a article about Ronglu, and covered in other articles, especially Boxer Rebellion.
There are problems with the form of the citations, such as piling on extra notes, putting in the address of the publisher, including quotes in the note. These could be dealt with, but there are problems with the sources themselves. Peter Fleming writes a thrilling story, but this is a tertiary source written before the solid research was done, and he does not cite his own sources. One that he does mention is the notorious Diary of Ching Shan, which is a forgery. The Outline History of China by Gowen is outdated; Singleton's World's Great Events is a compilation of newspaper accounts; the Cosmopolitan article and Living Age are Original Research; the Robert Hart quotes are spicy and could be used to illustrate points made in reliable secondary sources but they are not given, only the reference.
So I cut most of the section and used the Cohen material to make the same point. ch (talk) 18:20, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't see why the ethnicity or religion of the boy who allegedly saved these lives is at all relevant to the topic. He could be white, black, Catholic, Muslim...it has no bearing on the subject. At least his age kind of puts things into perspective...either young and brave or young and dumb! Although I'm curious...how did they know it was him, or that the port gun wasn't already loaded before the powder started burning? I'm guessing they found it loaded with powder but no shell.
