Definitely. EEng 17:45, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Yet another interesting article about this man: https://cordmagazine.com/sr/zivotna-prica/stevo-todorcevic-ziveti-za-bljesak-otkrica/--178.221.148.77 (talk) 17:21, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Current content

Todorcevic is well and alive and Yugoslavia is dead for 30 years. Todorcevic moved to Canada, became naturalized, and as a Canadian joined the Royal Society of Canada as a fellow. He is still a Yugoslavian mathematician? Then we have a meaningless phrase "mathematician specializing in mathematical logic and set theory". How it might be wise to say: M. Jordan was an American athlete specialising in basketball? [1] is a wrong link.

Then we have the Early life and education. He studied pure mathematics attending lectures by ..? At the college level, he got major in math that cannot be classified as a 'pure mathematics" study, Kurepa's lectures were advanced studies in pure mathematics attended by a selected small number of students (among them me, a Türkiye citizen then (1985) and now). Later, at the graduate and PhD level Todorcevic dedicated himself to pure mathematics.

Research. Looks like Todorcevic's research ended in 1980 in making the continuum any regular cardinal and in proving the existence of rigid Aronszajn trees ...??

Books. There is a number listed. Are these books related to any greatness, success, recognition, awards? What use of MR numbers?

Honors: "the greatest Serbian mathematician" ? RSC detailed appraisal, at its end, says, "Dr. Todorcevic has been a brilliantly creative and productive mathematician for almost forty years, and is now clearly a world leader in set theory and its applications to pure mathematics."

Discussion. I see there is a number of people trying to utilise here the RSC detailed appraisal of Todorcevic's research and more than 30 page long review/appraisal of the same research in the Sets and extensions in the twentieth century. All their attempts were destroyed and the editors dumped. Personal opinion, as the ones claiming that rho functions were not a new object, then use of "uncountable" induced subgraphs when "explaining" edge-coloring of infinite complete graphs does not deserve any additional comment. In short, do not waste your time on editing the article or arguing about wrongs and rights here.

The solution is Mathworld: this is a true online encyclopedia dedicated to mathematics where we won't write a good biography of this great mathematician of the XX and XXI centuries, but we can write a number of articles representing his research and explaining its importance.

• Totally agree you should go write someone on Mathworld. EEng 21:37, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  @EEng What a "wise" comment! I bet, even Eppstein and Rubin together couldn't make it better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:7D59:FB00:892E:B397:B43A:272C (talk) 23:44, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm sure that's true. EEng 08:26, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@IP 88.239.24.78 Yeah, many editors here were dumped! The dumping ground was created by infamous Bbb23 checkuser. This checkuser account was cancelled by the ArbCom, but the same ArbCom did not undo the damage here and elsewhere that Bbb23 has done. A. Perun (talk) 21:57, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bbb23, EEng and likes are here just to play their stupid games.

A new source of his bio data:Distinguished Lecture Series: Stevo Todorčević March 15 - 17, 2023, The Fields Institute

Funny thing is - the Field Institute announcement of the Stevo's Distinguished Lecture links their biographical note to this article: Please read more about Prof. Stevo Todorcevic here. I've asked them to link the note to the far better https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevo_Todor%C4%8Devi%C4%87 instead.--79.101.205.204 (talk) 14:23, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One, a pretty good, idea was given here--79.101.205.204 (talk) 14:36, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
