Plastic number
I notice you have tried to add a long essay-style section to the plastic number article. I have removed the passage from the article because it is too long - it almost doubles the length of the article - and it is very difficult to follow - it reads as if it was perhaps written by someone whose first language is not English. Information on the appearance of the plastic number in the work of van der Laan would be useful in the article, but not at this length. If you can condense the contents of the essay down to three or four well written sentences, that might be a suitable addition to the article. Let me know if you have any questions.
