Beginners Questions
- I would like to add a helpful example to Coupling (probability) which I found in a textbook. What is the proper way to reference it? Jenny Lam (talk) 00:40, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hi. Best way is probably to use the {{Cite book}} template, within <ref>...</ref> tags - if you click the blue link you'll find details of all the parameters, and there's a bunch of examples there to help you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:11, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Andrew Gleason
Great work catching the error re Gleason's Theorem. David Eppstein has done a great job writing up Gleason's research in just 2 or 3 days, but he expressed some nervousness because much of it's outside his expertise (not to mention mine). We'd appreciate it if you could do as much checking as you can, in the research section especially. If there are things you're not sure of, open a section on Talk:Andrew Gleason with maybe a bullet list of concerns. David's traveling for a few days but once he's back I'm sure he'd like to go over anything with you -- other editors might join as well, let us hope (it's been pretty lonely so far). Is there anyone else you can recruit for research areas you don't feel comfortable with?
