It appears that Wikipedia had noticed the implications of the title text here. The message now says that it might never be complete, but can be expanded with reliably sourced articles. I'm not 100% sure it's due to Randall's involvement, but I like to think so. --[[Special:Contributions/141.101.104.17|141.101.104.17]] 22:01, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

I am not American, but the linked Wikipedia Article does not support the claims about president's day being observed between the 2 birthdays of Washington and Lincoln in general, but just that in some states Lincoln is also referenced on that day. Even if it was put as a day between these birthdays by definition and on purpose, I do not see the reference here... Especially as this number is given as specific, unlike presidents day, which can occur in a range of days... Someone who knows more of American culture, and also what "observed" (which would link it to holidays....) can mean in English language please revert this. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 12:41, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 
 
The link to "bleem" does not work for me, but the word can be found in Urban Dictionary. ——[[Special:Contributions/172.69.63.161|172.69.63.161]] 02:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 
 
While 8 is not the "largest even prime", 9 is in fact the ''lowest odd composite'' number.  So 8 is the largest in the unbroken line of natural numbers that are even ''or'' prime (or whatever 1 is).  [[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.205|141.101.76.205]] 10:48, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 
 
Surely Gird is a reference to Bleem and to the philosophical concepts of Grue and Bleen? Just as they derive from Blue and Green, so we would have Bird and Gleem. [[Special:Contributions/172.71.98.86|172.71.98.86]] 20:33, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

For f(f(x))=11x, one example is: write x=a*11^b where a%11>0.  If a%11 is odd, let f(x)=(a+1)11^b; otherwise a%11 is even, let f(x)=(a-1)11^(b+1).[[Special:Contributions/172.71.222.235|172.71.222.235]] 03:01, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 
 
Even simpler, let f(x)=-x for x<0 and f(x)=-11x for x>=0.[[Special:Contributions/172.70.175.54|172.70.175.54]] 17:46, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 
 
How is Tau also called "Twice Euler's constant"? IMO, the name Tau, or the value 6.28~, equals to and is used to replace 2pi, so it is not related to "Twice Euler's constant". --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.166.146|162.158.166.146]] 08:33, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
