desirable in the light of that policy and guidance, since the use of the term must be verifiable. To remove the specific references and say that the material is available somewhere in the book is to decrease the helpfulness of the article to a reader who wants to check the reference and take their reading further. In general I would say that each paragraph, or each specific major assertion, in an article should be supported by inline citations. Obviously this is open for discussion and consensus, and there is room for difference of opinion or style. However, I maintain that removing citations once given requires more justification than simply asserting that they are not needed.

work when re-using the same citations in another article with a different style of references. I strongly feel that we should use automatic reference formatting whenever possible; in the case of Knowledge, this means that we should use citation templates. I think that while the {{citation}} template could be better, it is already good enough for use in any article. And the most important part is that when someone creates a compatible citation template that produces output that follows the conventions of a particular field, it is very easy to change the name of the template in an article, with very little manual work and without any risk of introducing internal inconsistencies. —
2432:: "This word is a play on the many morphisms in mathematics, but 'cryptomorphism' is only very distantly related to 'isomorphism', 'homomorphism', or 'morphisms'. Its informal sense was popularized (and greatly expanded in scope) by Gian-Carlo Rota in the context of matroid theory. Though there are many cryptomorphic concepts in mathematics outside of matroid theory and universal algebra, the word has not caught on among mathematicians generally. It is, however, in fairly wide use among researchers in matroid theory." 84: 74: 53: 1751:(N.B. I am personally curious about Deltahedron's expertise, solely for the purpose of knowing his/her point of view. I repeat: a non-expert can do a great deal of good for an article; it is not supposed to be a put-down. If Deltahedron is one of the rare people who can take the viewpoint of both an expert and a non-expert at the same time (which is wonderful), I would also be interested to know it. All this is just curiosity and doesn't require any answer.) 1771:'Should the definition of a new concept, ... which might well be the target of a re-direct, be supported by an inline citations...?' I think that is not needed. A person who follows a redirect ought to be able to read the entire paragraph, at least. Thus, I again support David Eppstein's opinion. If that's what Deltahedron is suggesting, then I agree. If Deltahedron is suggesting that every new term get its own citation, I disagree. 1527:. This is simply a personal opinion, and I dispute it. Terminology in matroid theory is not completely standard. To say this as your personal opinion in a discussion like the one we're having here is just that, your opinion. To say that in an article positively requires an independent reliable source that directly supports the assertions that the terminology is standard, which it did not have, and I took it out on those grounds. 3159:
there are a lot of references around infinite matrixes but from a rigorous mathematical standpoint they are not well accepted, in fact it becomes about operators and Hilbert spaces. In the scope of matroids you can imagine that a functional definition/representation of matroids like rank functions is similar/analogous to functors or operators on hilbert spaces, where for example an infinite basis can be well defined.
1577:)." (Emphasis added.) Now, citing for every single technical term is poor scholarly writing. The proper method is to give one citation to the source (assuming for the moment there is one source). Please note that technical books come with indexes, and in particular Oxley has a good index, so there is no need to cite a page for each term. Also, please note that I have read the text at 2300:, to name but two random examples. Compared to how often the phenomenon occurs everywhere in mathematics, the use of the term cryptomorphism is relatively rare. I made the above comment because I was actually distracted from the subject when I came to the page to read about matroids. Please take it as friendly feedback by a real user, who would like to apologize for the harsh wording. 2573:
general position (so that each pair of opposite edges becomes skew) and then choose four used-to-be-parallel edges (say the vertical ones) and perturb all eight vertices along the lines of those edges into general position (so that the top and bottom faces of the cube stop being coplanar). My guess is that the omission of the fifth 4-tuple from Reiner's notes is just a mistake. —

who should be involved in writing articles. I do not say non-experts should not be involved in writing articles; far from it. I have seen articles by experts that need improvement by non-experts, and I have seen articles by non-experts that need improvement by experts. Experts do not necessarily write good articles (often they don't), but they can contribute expertise.
1904:
Eppstein, and Deltahedron are merely personal opinions. You prefer more page numbers, I prefer the reader be expected to use the book's index when it is a good index (Oxley's is), you prefer footnoting every term, I find that interferes with reading ... what is objective about it? Why is your opinion better than mine? Please explain how we decide this sort of dispute.

infinite set of excluded minors. Lazarson (1958) constructed an infinite sequence of matroids that are not real-representable, but he didn't make they observation that they are excluded minors for real representability. The 2011 edition of Oxley's book shows that there are infinitely many excluded minors for representability over any infinite field (Theorem 6.5.17).
2492:'s Knowledge article does not mention matroids, and my impression is that he is better known for his work on greedoids (although he has a reasonably well-cited paper with Jensen in SICOMP 1982 on computational complexity issues related to matroids). In any case, what should his book be added as a reference for, that does not already have better references listed? — 546:). Now, find the maximally independent set of columns (i.e. the basis of the vector space). Take away the repeated columns. Does the vector space change? Of course not. So both matroids will be describing the same vector space, only the vector matroid will be the "simple matroid" of the column matroid (and identical if there are no repeated columns). 1768:'I maintain that there is sufficient variey in usage to say that while there are commonly understood usages, there is not one single standard.'

It was a mistake to put "standard" into the article; please accept my apology. 2572:

Besides, a matroid with only the outer four 4-tuples coplanar is easy to realize in 3d and therefore linear, unlike the Vámos matroid. Perturb the six planes of a cube into

My understanding was that this term was introduced specifically in the context of matroids to describe the large number of different ways that they can be axiomatized. So it definitely belongs somewhere in an article on matroid theory, but I don't have a strong opinion about whether it belongs in the

On a historical note: the current article makes it sound (to me) as if Edmonds single-handedly first showed that matroids have a connection with greedy algorithms. I'm fairly certain this is not true. For example, I think I read in Oxley (?) that Whitney's 1935 paper refers to the idea that in some

In the same article you can also read "The term cycle may also refer to an element of the cycle space of a graph." The adjective "simple" disambiguates this as referring to the first meaning, not the second. The phrase "simple cycle" is very common on the mathematical literature. You should not read

It's not clear to me which distinction is being made here between vector matroids and representable/linear matroids. The term "equivalent" hasn't been defined (this is a problem in itself); I presume it's meant to be synonymous with "isomorphic" (which also hasn't been defined but which is generally

The argument is not about *who* should be considered wrt cryptomorphism, but *what subjects*. Not the real line because we can just say "real line" when introducing it.

I think that for basic introductory material like this one inline citation per paragraph is a good rule — less than that makes it look unsourced but more than that is overkill. On the other hand, I do think it's almost always useful when citing a book to cite specific page numbers rather than making

This explanation is not quite right, but thank you both for bringing up the question. I added a comment to the article. The fact is that a vector matroid, strictly, does not have a repeated vector but it need not be a simple matroid because (a) it can have the 0 vector, which is a loop, and (b) it

This is not a correct counterexample. The basis exchange property is valid. You are misunderstanding what it is saying. It says that if you choose an element from the first independent set, there exists an element in the second that you can swap with. It does not say that any two elements can be

No. The standard axioms are the ones currently on the page. With "standard" I mean the ones proposed by Whitney in his original paper, and those in Oxley's book. In fact, exercise 3 of Section 1.1 of Oxley asks to show that your set of axioms is equivalent to the first one. Also, Oxley mentions the

The matroid page should be improved by adding the following information: 1) clearly define substructures (submatroids) and quotient structures, 2) clearly define morphisms of matroids, especially matroid isomorphisms, 3) more rigorously define matroid representability using matroid morphisms, 4)

The first two properties are simple, but the motivation behind the third property is not obvious. The property implies the fact that given two independent sets of the same size, any element of one can be replaced by some element of the other; thus the name "exchange." The examples in the example

878:
You're right. Since the matroid has rank 3 and is simple, any set of 4 points that doesn't contain a circuit of 3 points (i.e., a 3-point line) is predictably a circuit. Thus, one could say the 3-point lines are the "essential" circuits. However, they aren't the only circuits and the article

I still think footnotes should be minimized, and as the citations to Oxley are not of the kind objected to (rightly) by David Eppstein, I don't think his objection applies. Can we not try for one footnote per (short) paragraph, as a general guide? Most of the opinions expressed here by me,

I agree about templates; it makes sense. I would prefer it if templates were adjustable to the needs of individual fields, but as I'm not an expert in WP it's clear that will never happen. No doubt someone will alter the references I've just put in, into template form, which will have the

That is still not correct. Elements are not swapped. The exchange property says there is an element in the second such that, putting it into the first set and removing the original first-set element, you get an independent set. You do not expect anything nice to happen in the second set.

Someone has changed the original reference style, which conformed to these guidelines (except #5), by converting to a template. I don't know how to change the template so I can't do anything except by throwing out the template. Anyway, I shouldn't just change it all without discussion.

that are not as much common knowledge, because to communicate these subjects you always have to start by explaining "a matroid is..." and then realizing that whatever definition you pick to finish the sentence is going to be incompatible with the definition chosen by many others.
2412:
Do you have a citation for your assertion that this is not a seriously used notation? Because the word "cryptomorphism" has ~200 hits in Google scholar (in both matroid theory and universal algebra). That seems far from being some textbook author's idiosyncratic notation to me.
1747:
Also, the viewpoint of an expert and that of a non-expert tend to be different. The non-expert viewpoint often makes for a better article, in a way that can be hard to do for an expert. That doesn't mean (to me) that it is irrelevant whether a certain writer is or is not an
