An article you have begun
Steven:
You opened an article named Model (theory). I suspect this choice for title was a bit improvised, and would suggest a change. The format for an article name, say Topic (genre) is meant to indicate one of a potentially numerous set of articles sharing a popular description, but fundamentally different in nature, like Circuits (judicial), Circuits (integrated), Circuits (Boolean). However, I suspect that Model (theory) is not meant to distinguish this topic as a type of model distinct from Model (fashion), Model (railroad), or whatever. My guess as to your meaning is that a better article title might be Model theory (mathematics), a topic in mathematical logic, or perhaps the study of formal languages, as distinct from Model theory (physics), perhaps. Maybe the parenthetic modifier could be dropped in a new title?
In any case, I'd suggest a change of title. John R. Brews 22:26, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
I started an article Model theory that might provide a starting point. John R. Brews 18:29, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Steven, I, too, welcome you to Citizendium. We look forward to many informative contributions.
- When I first started with Citizendium, I had frequent difficulties getting apposite titles for articles I started. If you decide to develop John's Model theory, and I hope you will, we may make a note in the footnotes that this article was initially started by Steven A. Gibson under a slightly different title.
