Major Rewrite in Order
[edit]Bluntly: this is about as readable as Whitehead & Russel's Principia Mathematica. I am neither an expert in Riemannian/differential geometry nor an expert in Wikipedia's standards for composing articles. However, I do read enough math articles to recognize that the format, style, and conventions of this one are significant departures from the usual. Mathematics articles tend to be, at the very least, partitioned into sections. See Lie Groups; there is an introduction section providing a succinct, intuitive explanation of the concept along with a contextualization, a definition section where the concept is rigorously presented, instructive examples of the concept, and basic properties of the concept that follow from the definition, not to mention the (helpful, but not strictly necessary) inclusion of the concept's history. The additional flags I didn't add: research paper, technical, more citations, inline citations, one source, no footnotes. As to why I didn't simply edit the article myself to fix the issues, I came across this article looking for the information it promised to give. Hope somebody that knows enough about the subject and writing articles on here can fix it; this one was bad enough I had to make an account and complain. Bork7 (talk) 09:52, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
