Physicists who don't know math are ruining Wikipedia

I know "physicist who doesn't know math" is a pleonasm, but just to be clear.

    contact picrel and explain the problem to him in a calm, well reasoned answer and maybe he will allow you to make the edits you want to.
    you can also make the edits and wait for them to be reverted and they try to reason with whomever is doing the reverting, but it is probably picrel doing it anyway, so contacting him directly is usually more efficient.
    complaining on IQfy is amongst the least efficient ways to get the changes you want made, good odds that some nerd who disliked this thread will now be waiting to troll you if you try to make the edits you want.

      This guy is an idiot if he thinks neolibs are leftist. Any articles having anything to do with leftist, communism, or anticapitalism are heavily biased against leftism just like /misc/. Articles about historical topics are anti-leftist. Even articles about transpeople are problematic because the delegitimize transpeople agreeing with /misc/ narratives despite what /misc/tards will have you believe because ultimately liberals and fascists are two sides of the same coin. I agree that Wikipedia can no longer be trusted but can Larry Sanger tell us how it's leftist exactly.

    often a less rigorous exposition is more useful than a fully rigorously developed formulation. while physics seem to make use of non-rigorous mathematics (for instance the abuse of delta 'function') the notations and simplifications work, as in they can convey the meaning behind the formulas well. rigour, while strictly correct and adhering to definitions, can be unnecessarily complicated up to the point where only a handful of people know what's even going on - not something you want on a page like wikipedia. Remember wikipedia is more like a general encyclopedia and not a mathematical compendium or research reference. If you want a taste for mathematical rigour, go to ncatlab and see for yourself. Even the simplest topics get algebraized beyond comprehension.

      >while physics seem to make use of non-rigorous mathematics (for instance the abuse of delta 'function')
      dirac delta function is perfectly rigorous, complaints that it's called a function when it isn't are pointless, since physics books and lectures always say that it's just a name
      it's like saying "but the renormalisation group isn't really a group, stupid physicists" when only the severely autistic have any difficulty with this
      that said, I agree with what you're saying

      the delta function is not a real valued function. d(t) is not a real function. you can approximate the behaviour by gaussians or rectangles but they will not converge to a real function. The term generalized function or distribution is misleading, as the dirac delta function is actually an operator/functional.

      She's the exception to the rule. If I take two normal distributions,
      N(0,1)
      N(2,1)
      Then if I measure a value at 4, it's almost surely from the second distribution. Of course it could come from the first distribution, but at such low rates it's negligible. Given this is a sci board I'll assume you can calculate the ratio if needed

    Wikipedia is an awful source for literally anything. The admins, who ultimately decide what goes on the site, are completely unqualified and openly biased which is a horrible combination. Using wikipedia for history is like going to that guy with really weird opinions that sits at the back of the class and asking him what he thinks about the issue. Using wikipedia for math is like going to that guy who tries to answer before the teacher and gets it wrong. Using wikipedia for chemistry is like going to the worst student in class and asking them to do a deamination for you. All of these are bad ideas but it's how most kids are learning. Frick wikipedia, the site makes a good case for internet censorship just to keep bullshit at bay.

      yeah wikipedia is basically useless. only thing you might use it for is finding sources but these are usually poor and selective/restrictive anyway. the whole thing is a shitshow and the autistic unqualified or agenda-driven contributors make it very low quality while the willing to contribute qualified people get beaten out and give up.

      people say it's fine for science but this isn't true either. it's not fine for anything really, because it's not just bias but laziness and incompetence.
