Main page | Discussion | Numbers Articles Guidelines | Participants |
This WikiProject is aimed at improving editing practice on articles devoted to numbers. General guideline advise is given throughout to assist in creating and improving these articles.
Overview of the Project
[edit]Currently, there are continuous individual articles created for integers ranging from −1 to 313 (number).
- 300 (number) is the first article to specifically detail information for one hundred integers in one page.
- From 300 (number) to 1000 (number), articles contain information for individual integers in ranges of hundreds.
- From 1000 (number) to 10000 (number), information is grouped in ranges of thousands.
- From 10000 (number) to 100000 (number), articles cover information on integers in ranges of ten thousands.
- From 100000 (number) through 1,000,000,000, articles are grouped in ranges of increments of powers of ten (up to 1,000,000,000).
There are also select article entries linked to individual articles within these ranges. Some articles are devoted to integers in ranges greater than 109.
Navigation bars inside Number Infoboxes for articles on numbers have been added with the follow functionality:
- Increments of 1 for all numbers between −1 and 313.
- Increments of 10 from 0 through 270 (to be made continuous with the span of consecutive articles).
- Increments of 100 from 0 through 1000 (starting at 100), of 1000 between 1000-9000, and of 10000 between 10000-90000.
- Increments by factors of 101 between 100 and 109 (i.e. 100, 101, 102, ... 109 with links starting at 105).
Articles after 10 are named, for the most part, N (number). Regarding the status of disambiguation pages,
- 11 is a disambiguation page linking to 11 (number), other articles. Similarly for 12 through 99, inclusive.
- 100 (disambiguation) links to 100 (number page), and other articles.
- 101 is a disambiguation page linking to 101 (number), and other articles, as with 102 to 150, inclusive.
The next disambiguation number page is 163 (disambiguation), linking to 163 (number) and other articles.
Progress
[edit]The following is the status of the project as of January, 2023.
Priority of mathematics articles
[edit]Following the level of priority set by WikiProject Mathematics:
Top-priority
[edit]There are four main top-priority mathematics number articles:
Currently, articles for 0 and 1 are well-written within their respective mathematics sections, however they are not generally referenced (even though they contain due links, they could use primary sourcing where possible, even when generalizing). The article for π is a featured article, and the article for e is a good article.
High-priority
[edit]Another fourteen relevant mathematics number articles are categorized as high-priority:
These have all recently been improved (2022-).
Mid-priority
[edit]At least four relevant mid-priority mathematical article are listed:
Low-priority
[edit]Articles that are listed as low-priority include:
- Integers: 261 and 666, as well as 2,147,483,647 and 4,294,967,295
- Constants: δs, √7
Methodical priority assignments to integer number articles have not really taken place, which is something that could be further investigated. For example, 24 (number) could be elevated to mid-priority, given the many important geometric and algebraic properties ligated to it. 12 is another such candidate.
