I have a question to ask on the main site, and I want to ask on the meta first. I ask this question for two reasons:
To have answer for it, obviously. I do want to check if it's good or not
To improve my image in your eyes. I know I have been looked down as a crank by many
My concern is that ...
are you on mobile? I usually get broken links too on mobile, but are still accessible on computer. As for your second comment, I hope that if he finds out he will think that I have done my homework, and make sure that I respect his time
Then I would personally not use the word "article". If someone talks about an article and its not something peer-reviewed (or to be peer-reviewed), I would think of that person as a crank. In my opinion, you should instead write "my blog post" or "my ideas on ...".
I see. I thought that "article" is neutral. I thought that if you use the word "paper" for something not peer-reviewed, then they would be a crank. If you use "my blog post", then the prof will look down on me.
Of course, I don't know how reasonable thatSlingerland guy is, but a doubt that any reasonable prof. will look don't at master students who publish blog posts!
May I ask why you use the phrase "this Slingerland guy", "that Slingerland guy"? It feels disrespectful to me. As for blog post, this is why I ask this question, so that I can have good impression to him.
Sorry, it was not meant disrespectfully, just a normal way to speak about them (but I am not a native speaker). Feel free to remove the comments you don't like
What I'm not sure about: are is your summary self-contained? (It should be.) I.e. does the word "double negation" has a meaning he would know without looking into your article?
Not trying to be negative, this is my honest opinion.
Maybe another user could also provide their opinion here?
