| Feb 26, 2016 at 18:43 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | @GerhardPaseman Yes I know, but still I think both of these ways are different from what I have in mind here. | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 18:40 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | Also, the Best of MathOverflow thread should still be open. Gerhard "Sometimes Slow On The Uptake" Paseman, 2016.02.26. | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 18:38 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | One way to do that is to edit your MathOverflow user page. There may be a way to place a lot of info (not just a link) on that page. Mine contains a character count at least as large as a comment. Gerhard "And That's On Two Accounts" Paseman, 2016.02.26. | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 18:31 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | While I was enjoying it once more, a thought occurred to me - would not it be great to be able to somehow express my admiration by nominating it as something really standing out here on MO? | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 18:30 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | @GerhardPaseman I can do that of course but this will be a personal list in any case, and that's the main point of my answer - to make it less personal and more community-shared. But to give an example - actually this answer of mine was inspired by re-reading the brilliant answer by Lubin to the beautiful, important, enticing and reasonably simple question "Formal group law over $\mathbb F_p$" by Daniel Hoffmann. | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 18:18 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | We already have questions ranked by votes anyway. "Best of" should capture some other aspect. Why don't you make a list of MathOverflow question numbers and post that list here in a comment (assuming you have fewer than 50 questions to nominate)? That way someone can adapt it for later use should my belief prove wrong and a meaningful contest indeed develops. Gerhard "Bulletin Board, Not Filing Cabinet" Paseman, 2016.02.26. | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 18:11 | comment | added | მამუკა ჯიბლაძე | @GerhardPaseman Thank you for the suggestion but I'm afraid I am too disorganized to do that. Most likely I would abandon maintaining the list after a short while. Also, this would not capture competitiveness component. As for the consensus - I don't think it is really needed here. We have voting, right? Leaders could change, new nominees might outdo old ones, etc. | |
| Feb 26, 2016 at 18:03 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | My opinion of this community at present is there would not be enough of a consensus to make such a contest meaninigful. However, you can start your own "Best Of" list. If several people do this, it would make sense to me to collate several of these lists. Gerhard "Linking To Them Also Works" Paseman, 2016.02.26. | |
