[edit]

TakuyaMurata, can you take a look at this page and provide more context about this subject? I don't understand the context and think it might be eligible for speedy deletion. If there's a mainspace page (or section) that might be worth redirecting/merging, please feel free to take action as I've alerady tried keyword searches in mainspace, and haven't found a good target to point to.

I can agree to move it or delete it (there is no good redirect target). But can you give me a week? I'm attending a workshop right now and "right now" is not the best time to complete the draft (e.g., finding a ref). -- Taku (talk) 14:30, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'll hold off 1 week, then I'm going to suggest a CSD. Hasteur (talk) 14:42, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also TakuyaMurata would this method of raising the concern on the talk page work best for you in terms of trying to figure out a good way to address these drafts? Obviously ones that are well fleshed out (like K-theory of a category) are plenty ready for mainspace (so can be promoted there). Hasteur (talk) 14:50, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I still don't agree with the need to get rid of old drafts in the draftspace; and there is no community consensus. When I find time, I will start an RfC to settle this matter once and for all. (I'm too busy for that right now.) If you find a page that is problematic, which is mine or not, you should raise a concern in the talkpage. I now realized that a short draft without enough context can cause review problems so I agreed to do something about it; that's all. Not because it is old. -- Taku (talk) 08:05, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Examples

[edit]

Would be interesting to see cases d=2 and d=3 for first ~20 integers, and see their coefficients, similar to what most other pages about numbering systems do. 81.6.34.246 (talk) 08:43, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Examples might also clear up some questions I've got from the definition, though better wording could also help. Are the uniquely determined given that they must be strictly increasing, or uniquely determined and also a property of them is that they are strictly increasing? (The fact that replacing by wouldn't change the sum makes me think the former, but I think the grammar of the sentence implies the latter.) Also, does every have a -th Macaulay representation for every ? (Surely not, as there's only finitely many with , so what's the largest value represented and are there representations for all ?) These are not exactly questions I want answered for myself (I'm sure I could make progress on them with a bit of thought), but questions that the article might address if there are sources that comment on these properties. — Bilorv (talk) 21:27, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
