Good point about the conflict of interest (there is lots more detail at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide - one interesting suggestion of which is that posting to the Talk page of the article is a lot more kosher than editing the article itself - in a case like this where the article is about yourself or your organization).

The screen shot, in addition to picking a better theorem than the april fool's one ("tacky" might be fair, but "not very illustrative of what is really in set.m" is sort of maybe the way I'd say it), should look better (which is probably just be a matter of screenshotting a mpeuni rather than mpegif page).

There is a fair bit of just general updating which would be nice, that's probably the #1 thing which stands out. I did just fix one out-of-date statement about what set.mm covers, but there's more of this sort of thing.

The content of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamath is somewhat outdated and doesn't reflect the current focus. Since I am mentioned several times on the page, I have chosen not to edit it myself because it would feel like a conflict of interest.  But anyone else is welcome to update it.

Suggestions:
1. The Hilbert Space Explorer and Quantum Logic Explorer shouldn't be mentioned at all. 2. The "explorers" for iset.mm, nf.mm, hol.mm are much more important but aren't mentioned.
3. Using the April Fool joke theorem as an example seems tacky.
4. That Metamath holds a prominent place on Freek's 100 theorem list might be useful to mention. 5. The description of 3rd party verifiers, proof assistants, and IDEs could be updated.

Feel free to add other suggestions here.  Feel free to edit (and hopefully improve) the page at your convenience.

The pages for other provers such as Mizar, HOL Light, Coq, Isabelle, etc. might offer ideas.  However, they are sometimes shorter than Metamath's, and there doesn't seem to be consistency in the length, style, or level of detail.  So in the end you have to use your own judgment.

Thanks,
Norm
