+: Good news, I found a derivation in Y. Bugeaud et al. "On transfer inequalities in Diophantine approximation, II", https://arxiv.org/abs/0811.2102
+: I also request to unprotect this page. Just to clean up a bit, and move the logflat stuff to [[Tenney-Euclidean temperament measures]].

+:: I can move the part in question, but protection is a policy, unfortunately. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 15:55, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
+::: I think it's best to talk to [[User:Mike Battaglia|Mike Battaglia]] about this. He protected the page without giving a reason (normally no page – besides main – of a wiki is protected). --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 06:25, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
+:::: Hopefully [https://www.facebook.com/groups/xenwiki/permalink/3046365965629387/ Mike's FB post] answers part of this (hopefully this link works too). [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 13:04, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
+== Formulas vs. intuition ==
+Put intuition first, formulas second. This is exactly the problem with the page that I wanted to fix by adding the intuition in the first place, and you've just brought it back.

+: The wiki can have tutorials but isn't a tutorial to begin with. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 09:52, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
+:: I'm not asking for tutorials. I'm asking for THE INTUITION TO BE PUT FIRST. I don't want to wade through mathslop to get to the actual relevant explanations.
+:: Especially if people are coming here from pages like [[hobbit]]. You don't call something "Euclidean" and not put the geometric intuition first.
+:: -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 23:45, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
+::: I was saying interpretation-first is more of a writing style of textbooks/tutorials, which this wiki is not. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 13:14, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
+:::: Well, maybe we need to rethink what the wiki should be. -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 21:05, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
