Correction text:
Hi, can I ask you to please add something about right actions.
I plan to do a homogeneous space entry and will need both
left and right actions.

Here is another suggestion. Why not define "effective"
and "transitive" in your entry. It seems to me that it would be
more effort than its worth to make separate entries for these
terms. They are just 1 sentence definitions, and tightly
related to the "group action" idea, so they won't bloat
your entry.

This way the poor reader who wants to see the background
definitions for "homogeneous space" doesn't have to click around to 3
different places - everything is right there in "group action"


You can make use of the new "Also defines" field to indicate
that you have defined these additional concepts.

The business about "effective" and "transitive" is far from
a canonical correction - matter of taste and opinion really.
If you think that "effective" and "transitive" are better
handled with separate entries, I will be happy to provide them.

Regards,
RM
