thanks! MarcoRiccardi 19:02, 14 January 2012 (CET)

Hi Boris, I have seen you editing Limit theorems. Since I have developed some software to automatically remap the references and to find the MR and Zbl links: Should I give it a try for this page and you check correctness?

It definitely saves time. If you agree: I usually combine the references if there are several ones (and also try to integrate comments into the text or make it another paragraph). Should I do the same in this case? --Ulf Rehmann 18:34, 6 March 2012 (CET)

I never object to any improvement of any article. And, in terms of Wikipedia, I am never the owner of an article (unless we introduce such notion); authorship on a wiki is collective (unless the contrary is explicitly stated). Yes, I know you have, and use, such a software. Very nice. I just added MSC to "Limit theorems" (as well as to many other articles). Hopefully my edits do not hinder your program. Please do. --Boris Tsirelson 19:30, 6 March 2012 (CET)
Thanks, I know your ideas concerning wiki, but since this software is just in test state, I'd like to get your cooperation. So one item was not found at all, two other were doubled (as there is part one and two, an additional info which may be helpful to readers). In case you find an instance by hand in MR/Zbl which wasn't found by my program please let me know. Sometimes this happens because a title or something else was misspelled.
Yes, I see. Well, I know Paulauskas personally; he was misspelled. But I wonder, why MR states 1989 but ZBL states 1987 for that book. --Boris Tsirelson 20:54, 6 March 2012 (CET)
It could be an error, or there was a reprint. --Ulf Rehmann 22:41, 6 March 2012 (CET)
About the doubled MR, I am afraid, it is more puzzling than helpful; if indeed the other volume is helpful, it should be included into the bibliography (not necessarily as a separate item). In fact, I did so in "Measure space#F". --Boris Tsirelson 20:59, 6 March 2012 (CET)
This probably depends on the situation. Sometimes errata are detected that way. --Ulf Rehmann 22:41, 6 March 2012 (CET)
I also wonder why the book by Petrov appears twice on ZBL, as "Akademie-Verlag" and as "Springer". --Boris Tsirelson 21:04, 6 March 2012 (CET)
At that time Germany had been (strictly!) divided, and one company did sell in the east, the other in the west. Look at the review: Springer sells for 92 'DM', while Akademie sells for 92 'M' (two different currencies). Zentralblatt was used in both parts, hence they advertised both editions.
But it happens very often that different editions or reprints are mentioned. The worst thing is quoting Bourbaki, where much more reprints and translations exist and are in use than can be documented in either MR or Zbl. --Ulf Rehmann 22:41, 6 March 2012 (CET)
And about "Yu.V. [Yu.V. Prokhorov] Prohorov" I'd prefer "Yu.V. Prokhorov [Prohorov]" or just "Yu.V. Prokhorov". --Boris Tsirelson 21:07, 6 March 2012 (CET)
There are different name transcription conventions for various languages (depending on both the 'from' and the 'to' language). The purpose here is just to uniquely identify the publication. It could be that the author is addressed that way in the document (book). --Ulf Rehmann 22:41, 6 March 2012 (CET)

Collaboration

Thanks for correcting my silly mistakes in the Absolutely convergent series page! It was a first test to see how things function here :-). I work in partial differential equations and a lot of my research is in Geometric measure theory. I am wondering whether you would like to join forces in reviewing some of the pages in measure theory. Camillo 11:32, 21 July 2012 (CEST)
