In summary, the conversation discusses the usefulness of a paper on tensors for understanding relativity. The paper is unaccredited and the question of proper citation is raised, with a suggestion to cite Tullio Levi-Civita.

Excellently timed, as I finish learning - and writing a VERY brief introduction to - tensors and general relativity. Thank you very much.

EDIT: The paper is unaccredited, if I were to use it in my work, who/what should I cite?
