[edit] Instantons as EFE solutions
At the very least, this claim requires qualification and elaboration, agreed? See exact solutions in general relativity and references therein for what "solution" without qualification should be taken to mean.---CH (talk) 11:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- I suppose you mean that I should clarify that they are vacuum solutions. At least I think they are. --MarSch 14:40, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Citations, plez!
Hi, 131.111.212.12, please take the time to add citations following the templates given in WikiProject GTR citation templates (to assure uniform appearance of citations in the Wikipedia).
I see you have made numerous edits to gtr-related articles which show you have a graduate background (at least), and I am very glad to see knowledgable contributions. I noticed however that they often lack citations or categorizations, and hope you will take the time to consider adding appropriate citations and categories in future! This can be very valuable to serious students by helping them find your contributions in the first place, and in reading more about a given topic if they find it useful or intriguing.
You might also want to consider creating a user page (possibly with a handle other than your user name) and joining WikiProject GTR. ---CH 23:36, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
P.S. Saw some more of your contribs and see you did add some citations--- thanx! But please consider that Prola and links to journal pages will generally not be accessible to most users of the Wikipedia. Many journals do now have a "rolling window" which makes classic papers available freely to any user, but you need to find and give the correct url. If possible, I think we should ensure that all cited links in Wikipedia are useful to all users, including nonacademic users. In some cases, a paper might be so important that a "restricted link" might be better than no link at all, but in those cases, please add a comment apologizing to users who lack the required subscriptions (which as you probably know can be hefty if your institution doesn't pick up the tab). ---CH 23:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Students beware
I extensively edited the Dec 2005 version of this article and had been monitoring it for bad edits, but I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate.
Just wanted to provide notice that I am only responsible (in part) for the last version I edited; see User:Hillman/Archive. I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions, and have some reason to believe that future versions may present what I would regard as slanted information or misinformation.
Good luck in your search for information, regardless!---CH 00:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
