Mathematical landscape

Hello. I came across the article mathematical landscape that you created, and I have a couple of issues with your article. Generally, the article is rather vague. It's not clear what the article is about. You define "mathematical landscape" as "a term that describes the objects one finds in higher dimensions", which can refer to many things. You seem to be making some vague guesses on possible connections between mathematics and physics, culminating in the "mathematical landscape conjecture", without attributing them.

A discussion about your article has already started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics#Strange article and I'd urge you to give your view there. For your information WikiProject Mathematics is nothing more than a bunch of editors here who are interested in contributing to the mathematics articles.

PS: Let me explain the phrase without attributing them. What the article needs most at the moment is references to reliable sources (academic papers etc.). Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and thus we report only on the literature. We do not engage in original research. This is the first of the five pillars of Wikipedia that David referred to. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 03:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
