Fractional calculus, Differintegral, initialization of the differintegrals, differintegration of some elementary functions, basic rules of differintegration: this whole raft of articles is a logical tangle and needs sorting out (the fractional calculus topic is valid, but NPOV and some fresh order is badly needed, and exceeds what can be done via discussion on one talk page). In detail there are the following problems:
- Fractional calculus - promised definition of 'initialization' never comes, claimed scope of topic too broad (POV), some red links are bothering
- Differintegral - work needed on initialization, whether Weyl definition is restricted to periodic functions, usage of isomorphic and translation in Fourier transform are non-standard
- Initialization of the differintegrals -doesn't deliver, not comprehensible as free-standing article at all, link to dynamical systems unhelpful
- Differintegration of some elementary functions - just naked list of formulae
- Basic rules of differintegration - serious problem here with the Product Rule as a _definition_(??) Charles Matthews

List of English words of Polish origin needs copyedits and fact checking (isn't vodka also Russian?)
- It is. The problem here is that there are many words which are both Polish and Russian - that's why I suggest merging these two pages into List of English words of Slavic origin. There are even more problems with Polish words since some of them came into English through other languages - like intelligentsia (Polish inteligencja) through Russian, or
nudgenoodge (Polish nudzić) through Yiddish. --Kpalion (Nudge comes form Norwegian dialect & has quite different pronunciation and meaning. Jerzy(t))
