About quantum teleportation and the no-communication theorem...

In a change you made to Quantum teleportation, you seem to have ignored the reasoning behind the citation mark which I'm submitting to your attention (in case you agree with the reasoning, please restore the citation mark, otherwise, don't). See the last comment (by klaussfreire) there.

Sorry about this. I thought that the wikilink was the needed citation, which is exactly your point of contention in the discusstion. I reverted my change. Bender2k14 (talk) 20:21, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you're probably right. I'll make it a disambiguation page. StAnselm (talk) 04:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The new images are much better, so it's definitely not a problem if you propose for deletion the old ones. Thanks for the message,--Sandrobt (talk) 03:13, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bender2k14,

I have nothing against the use of high quality svg-files instead of png. In this case

file:Iddots black.svg vs. file:Latex_ellipsis_left-down_to_right-up.png

is used only to compare the genuine LaTeX (sent as png) ellipsis and the reflect-box (that is unfortuantaelly not available in wiki). In this case the png-version looks IMO better (and fine enough). Please compare the both tables:

	Character	TeX markup
Lower ellipsis	${\displaystyle \ldots \,\!}$	\ldots
Centred ellipsis	${\displaystyle \cdots \,\!}$	\cdots
Diagonal ellipsis	${\displaystyle \ddots \,\!}$	\ddots
Vertical ellipsis	${\displaystyle \vdots \,\!}$	\vdots
Up-Right Diagonal Ellipsis		\reflectbox{\ddots}

and

	Character	TeX markup
Lower ellipsis	${\displaystyle \ldots \,\!}$	\ldots
Centred ellipsis	${\displaystyle \cdots \,\!}$	\cdots
Diagonal ellipsis	${\displaystyle \ddots \,\!}$	\ddots
Vertical ellipsis	${\displaystyle \vdots \,\!}$	\vdots
Up-Right Diagonal Ellipsis		\reflectbox{\ddots}

The SVG version also claims to be the output of \iddots (that is, the inverse of \ddots, which is equalviant to \reflectbox{\ddots}), so it should be possible to make the SVG look at least as good as the PNG. I edited the SVG in the table above by decreasing its size by 2 pixels. Does that look better? Also, I like the alpha coloring in the SVG that is absent in the PNG. I believe that is a big negative of the wiki's math tags, that the background is not completely transparent. Bender2k14 (talk) 14:56, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Sorry, I did not mean that citations were missing. I meant it would be better if there was a wider range of sources. Looking at the page now I am wondering why I put that there. Feel free to take it off. Thanks. Creeper jack1 (talk) 20:27, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will remove it. Also, in the future, you should continue the conversation on whoever's talk it starts (in this case, your talk page). Bender2k14 (talk) 21:49, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bender2k14, I was wondering if you would be willing to make an updated version of the chart [1] that you created several years ago, showing the growth of the largest known Mersenne prime. (If not, I can try to do it myself, but I don't have much experience with Commons.) Thanks, JBL (talk) 16:35, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JBL. Unfortunately, I cannot because I no longer have a subscription to Mathematica. Working with Commons is not bad. I suggest you give it a try! :) Bender2k14 (talk) 17:30, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks, I'll see what I can do :). All the best, JBL (talk) 22:31, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've created the file

but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it on Commons -- my intent was to upload it as a new version of your image, but I don't see how to do that. If you can figure it out, I would be grateful. --JBL (talk) 21:11, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't remember either. Just figured it out again. Took me a while though. At the bottom of the section titled "File history", click the link that says "Upload a new version of this file". Bender2k14 (talk) 21:23, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately for me there is no such link, just the sentence "You cannot overwrite this file" :(. --JBL (talk) 21:30, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see that same message when I am not logged into Commons. Maybe this also describes your situation? If you don't have a Commons account, there is a way to use your Wikipedia account to login to all Wikimedia projects. See Wikipedia:Unified login. Bender2k14 (talk) 02:01, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help! I think the result was successful. --JBL (talk) 18:28, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I saw you created the commons File:Bound on matrix multiplication omega over time.svg which is in use at Matrix_multiplication#Computational_complexity. In Oct 2019, A3nm edited the generated Svg code to add a recent slight improvement of ω (Le Gall 2014: 2.3728). However, the "2010...2015" section of the Year axis got out of scale. Moreover, it would be nice if the Year axis wouldn't end before 2020, to indicate Le Gall's result hasn't been improved up to now. It would be great if you could implement these updates. Best regards - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 16:23, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jochen. Unfortunately, I cannot because I no longer have a subscription to Mathematica. I knew that creating an image for Wikimedia using proprietary (subscription) software was a trade off, but I still think it was the correct decision since having the original image (or the one modified by by A3nm) is better than no image at all. Bender2k14 (talk) 15:42, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What a pity! Anyway, thanks for your quick answer. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 19:35, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I remade the image with Gnuplot (File:MatrixMultComplexity svg.svg); however, I still have problems to get the font sufficiently large to make the names readible. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 21:37, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is a nice looking image. Good job! :) Bender2k14 (talk) 17:26, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
