WikiProject Mathematics discussion

Coming here from that discussion:
I changed the banner up top from {{cleanup rewrite}} to {{more citations needed}}. While there might be phrasing choices here and there that could be improved, I don't think the tone is too far from encyclopedic. Rather, the main issue with the text is that it seems under-cited. When material is well-organized, there's usually at least ~1 citation per paragraph; this is not a box to check off for its own sake outside of certain corners of Wikipedia like WP:DYK, but instead a sign that each idea is properly attributed.
Citations to anything the size of a book should include some indication of where in the book the relevant information can be found: a page number or range, a section number, a theorem number, etc. When a book is cited only once in an article, the |pages= or |at= parameters of {{cite book}} are useful. When multiple different passages of the same book are cited, well, there's no universally agreed-upon way to handle that.
Also, there's a lot of bold text, which is somewhat out of line with Wikipedia style. Generally, bolding is reserved for the name of the subject and prominent appearances in the text of things that redirect to the article. Italics are preferred when introducing technical terms.

Thank you for the input; I agree that that is a more appropriate tag. Vigna, is this something you can action? Wikipedia has strict verifiability requirements so that readers can identify the source of all the information in the article, as Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction described above. Are you able to add citations for the unsourced paragraphs throughout the article? Zeibgeist (talk) 01:02, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
Yes, no problem. I'll also make Italic the new terms. That's actually the mathematical standard, but I saw a lot of pages using bold. Vigna (talk) 04:54, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
BTW, I consistently thought you were suggesting the "Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction" as a well-written mathematical page, which I couldn't find. Not the most UI-friendly handle 😂. Vigna (talk) 10:15, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
Ah, I see how that could be confusing haha. Zeibgeist (talk) 22:30, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
