Introducing the PF Library!

The Auto Linking feature is great! This looks like its going to be awesome. After finals are over, I hope to start contributing more articles.

I tried to post something and it gave me this:

Sigh!

Just a minor request/suggestion I had:

If possible (and understandably it is often not), I think posters should cite all information to a published source.

Even though the information may be well known and ubiquitous in physics textbooks, if each person provides where they personally learned about that specific piece it would be an automatic resource for anyone looking to learn. Plus, it's not that hard to simply think of the name and author of whatever textbook or journal you got your information from. If you didn't get it from a printed source (essentially hearsay or conjecture), it should be stated as such.

Is this still happening?

Crazy Tosser

nvm, it worked =D

Now, how can I edit it if it looks very messy?

Hootenanny

Currently only Staff, HH's & SA's have editing privileges. I'm not sure what the procedure is going to be if you need to edit one of your own entries. For the moment, until Greg clears this up I suggests that you post your corrections, as a comment, in the entry which needs correcting.

I'm assuming the mess entry you referred to is the Linear ODE entry, I've tidied up the latex so it looks better now.

P.S. Greg: Thanks for fixing the moderation

American spelling, English spelling, or optional?

The formatting is awkward -- it seems to put a line break after every inline TeX image.

This is awesome. Thanks guys... PF is getting bigger...

Air

This is a really good resource. It will definitely make PF better. :)

I can't see the LaTeX equations in the Extended explanation section (though I can them in the Equations section).

I could see them there a couple of hours ago, so I don't think it's my browser (Safari 3.1.1 on a 500Mhz iMac).

i added an entry on the exponential distribution but it hasnt appeared.

dx

now when i search for it, it says "the entry has been found and you are being redirected to it". after it loads, this is the message i get :

dx, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

It has to be moderated and approved first. You'd know this if you'd read the first post.

I think all entries need to be approved by a science advisor or a homework helper or a mentor.

Astronuc

Each new entry starts in moderation which is not visible/accessible to general membership. The entry is reviewed and if found suitable, it will be approved at which time it becomes visible and accessible.

Greg Bernhardt

All current entries have been moderated now.
