User:Robert Clausen

Welcome to my user page!

My main editorial goal is to help with cleaning up, history, geography and stub articles.

Hi, maybe I won't spend hours a day on Wikipedia. As I don't have huge amounts of time to contribute, I won't spend a lot of time adding content. My interest is in improving articles which already exist and guarding against vandalism and tendentious editing.

SEE YOU!

Tip of the day...

Using Math

When using math in an article, there are two different types of markup that one can use. It is important to be consistent throughout an article and use the same type of markup. If a formula appears all on the same line, it would be better to use HTML than LaTeX, because L^∞ looks better in line than $L^{\infty }$ does; however it's generally a bad idea to attempt to render $Q(x)={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2\pi }}}\int _{x}^{\infty }e^{-t^{2}/2}dt={\frac {1}{2}}\,\operatorname {erfc} \left({\frac {x}{\sqrt {2}}}\right),\ x\geq {}0$ in HTML.
