Re: Do I really have to cite an arXiv paper?
#2Agree with this: if you take an idea from somewhere, cite it. There’s no cost to you personally or professionally for doing so, and you’re giving credit where it is due.
>A large number of seminal works have never been published. The greatest mathematics paper of our lifetimes remains unpublished.
Is this a reference to a specific paper?

#3Please use permanent links, this directs to a tag, and will be invalid as soon as a newer publishing article is posted.

Please set up a redirect to the canonical URL. This is helpful to third party systems that interact with your site, such as search engines and content sharing sites. It also eliminates the issue you raised.

Redirect what to the canonical URL? The entire tag? Why, just to fix this HN submission? The proper solution here is to shoot an email to hn@ycombinator.com (which I've done).

Author here: Grisha Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture has never been (by him, to my knowledge) submitted to or published in any journal. He decided, as is his right, that he could not care less about the professional community of publishing mathematicians or their protocols. Does not invalidate his achievement.
I should note, since I am not and do not expect to be the level of mathematician that Perelman is, I have not actually read his proof. So I defer to other superior mathematicians for this assessment and come by it as hearsay. :)

Redirect the tag to the particular article that it currently references. Only show users the "correct" url that you want them to use in the future (history, bookmarks, sharing, etc).

Bruh, the tag is a page containing a list of articles that are tagged with that tag. Redirecting to the latest post with the tag would defeat the entire point of having that page.

The original link took me straight to the article, not to a list of articles with that tag. It was a single article, with the URL of a tag.
Anyway, I didn't mean to argue. Have a nice evening :)

The tag [0] doesn't currently reference the article, it references a collection of articles. But in this instance there is currently only one article in the collection.
When there are two articles with the tag, they will both be shown on the 'publishing' page, in their entirety, newest first. See [1] for an example.
Redirecting would be akin to Google redirecting you to the current top result (like I'm feeling lucky, but for all searches)
