The FAC link is incorrect. Dmharvey 17:07, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I removed the phrase "In simple terms" from the front of the highly complex mathematical statement: In simple terms, the problem was that the cohomology of a coherent sheaf over a finite field couldn't capture as much topology as singular cohomology with integer coefficients. (TCO)
[edit] Wolf Prize and Abel
See Talk:Wolf_Prize for a lengthy comment and please direct responses there. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 11:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
The anon insists on removing the clearly correct assertions that Serre won the Fields and Wolf, two of the highest honors in math (see Wolf Prize talk page linked above), by saying s/he is reverting "factual errors". I hope s/he understands that continuing in this way without discussion will not succeed. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 01:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
I can understand that Etale has changed his/her mind about what should be in the intro, but removing mention of the Fields Medal from the intro is quite a serious mistake. The lead section of an article is supposed to stand alone as a summary of the article, and many people would find the mention of the Fields essential information. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 13:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
