    The same reference also appears in nPOV.

    I added some redirects, and also mentioned Daniel Murfet’s website.

    Is Daniel Murfet’s website really worth mentioning on this page? It doesn’t have anything directly to do with Grothendieck’s analogy as far as I know.

    Well, anyone who feels strongly that it should be removed should remove it. However, I’m not really sure I understand why it is objectionable: someone who didn’t know about the website might be glad they learned of it here.

    Otherwise it seems the only purpose of the page is just to record a reference (hence, a somewhat limited purpose). But as I say, remove it if it bothers you.

    I have expanded the Idea-section, to say what Grothendieck’s metaphor actually sys before turning to listing websites named after it.

    Please help:

    I feel Grothendieck’s metaphor (maybe as expanded elsewhere) involved the imagery of a nut cracked not by force but, slowly but gently, by immersing it into water.

    However, the quote currently in our entry does not reflect that. If there is a Grothendieck quote involving that nut, we should add it, otherwise, if I am hallucinating here, what I just wrote in the Idea-section may need modifying.

    Oh, sorry, Grothendieck mentioned the nut right before the quote we have. I have added it now.

    Yes, they are two different metaphors for the same thing.

    The pdf link to McLarty's article is dead (gives a 404 error from the page's source).

    I have replaced that link with one to the Grothendieck circle.
