Many of us who were involved in the creation or maintenance of the original math pages agreed on Facebook recently that some of these pages should be protected. We are talking about the hardcore math ones that most users don't understand anyway, and shouldn't be playing with unless they get the material and are on the same wavelength as the people who originally created those pages.

:: Given Mike's support for our latest, I'm ''sure'' this was intended as praise by Mike (as well as a valid warning re terminology). But I ''suppose'' it could be read as discouraging readers rather than encouraging them as I think was its intention. I don't mind if it stays or goes. Or maybe Mike can rewrite it to avoid that reading. --[[User:Dave Keenan|Dave Keenan]] ([[User talk:Dave Keenan|talk]]) 05:47, 12 March 2023 (UTC) | |||
