[edit] Weird misuse of TeX in Abstract family of acceptors.
- Compare (Γ,I,f,g) to (Γ, I, f, g). Both are legitimate uses of TeX. Which is more readable? In the browsers I checked (Safari and Firefox on Mac, Safari and IE on Windows), it is the latter, i.e. the one you say contains "a weird misuse of Tex". I prefer not to have the commas jammed against the next symbol making it more difficult for my old eyes. The formatting instructions for the former may be simpler, but I always err on the side of legibility when publishing a paper. I assumed legibility was important on the web and Wikipedia also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vantelimus (talk • contribs) 13:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
They certainly do not look jammed against anything in TeX on the browsers I've looked at them with: both Firefox on Windows and Seamonkey (formerly Mozilla) on Linux. But the latter version looks badly misaligned---some character higher and others lower---and the two bounding parentheses that are not in TeX look jammed against the two adjacent characters. I am the foremost champion of legibility on Wikipedia and possibly the only Wikipedia in whose edit history you will frequently find the word legibility in edit summaries; in many cases that word has been my whole edit summary. When people write the ordered pair (a,b), I often change it to (a, b) both for the sake of legibility and for the sake of making non-TeX mathematical notation match TeX style as closely as possible. Generally I prefer to avoid "inline" TeX on Wikipedia because on the browsers I've used, inline TeX often looks far bigger than the surrounding letters and often gets placed too high or too low rather than properly centered.

[edit] law school
No problem, I figured it was a typo. It's a nice infobox. Happy editing. --Bobak (talk) 15:49, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] UC wikiproject
Oh, it's a pretty loose group, with very few members: Wikipedia:WikiProject University of California. Very little effort has gone into structuring the project itself... I've gone ahead and added you to the page as a participant; feel free to make any proposals or raise any concerns there. Great work on the university rankings infobox, btw.
