Please do not simply remove your comments from a talk page after other editors have responded to them. Such actions make it very hard to understand what's going on and are generally considered bad form. See WP:REDACT. In this case you have caused some confusion, and another editor has restored your comment.

In response to your edit summary in this edit: Wikipedia is not just for children and school teachers, and it is not just for Americans. Our articles must also be correct for professional mathematicians and for historians of mathematics, and they must also be correct for readers from other countries. (For questions of language use, such as this one, obviously only use of a term in English is really relevant, but that still leaves the British and Irish, the Australians, New Zealanders, Indians, South Africans, as well as quite a few others, and notably also the international community of research mathematicians.) We have sources demonstrating that the term whole numbers is used in three different senses, and while one of them appears to be more common than the others we cannot simply claim it's the only correct one without also saying in which context it is the only correct one. For this we would require sources. You sound as if you might know such sources. If that is the case, please help by providing them.

For school teachers it is essential to use language consistently to avoid confusing the children. But Wikipedia is not a school book, and we cannot pretend that everybody worldwide agrees about the meaning of "whole numbers" if that is demonstrably not the case.

Speedy deletion nomination of K-12math.info


A tag has been placed on K-12math.info requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. De728631 (talk) 14:26, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jkelly952. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jkelly952~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:54, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
