   Format: MarkdownItexLook at [[leaf of the distribution ]]. The initial entry was almost a request for information back in 2012. Now perhaps the same person has changed the query to a reply but without formatting! At the moment it looks like spam but I think it was an attempt to add something by someone who had not understood how to edit pages and the basic syntax to use.

   Format: MarkdownItexLooks like a course description. I would regard it as spam, really. I no longer know or understand what is supposed to be the correct etiquette to deal with it, but my natural instinct would be to rename it "leaf of a distribution" and write something sensible over it.

Sounds excellent to me, this is what I would suggest too. We do have discussion of leaves, for example at [[foliation]], but I don't know anything about this really, so don't know whether 'leaf of a distribution' is something slightly different, warranting its own page, or not; probably there's no harm in at least having a little page linking to [[foliation]] or wherever. But I can also delete the page if people feel the material is already covered, perhaps adding a redirect somewhere.
