Talk:21 (number)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The number of moons of the planet Uranus
Removed this 'fact' because the current article on Uranus mentions 27 moons. It is silly to include information that is likely to change. The 'fact' soon becomes a counterfactual maintenance problem.

[edit] Century 21
I understand that Wikipedia should not give free advertisement to for-profit corporations. However, I do think that Century 21 is worth mentioning in this article. But I won't revert Anonymous User. Perhaps someone can think of a way to mention Century 21 without advertising it. PrimeFan 23:20, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Take a look at my recent addition, which also includes Century 21 Exposition (the 1962 World's Fair). I'd suggest that it's reasonable to mention a company whose name is a famous use of such a word or phrase, just like Apple Computer is mentioned under apple, without really being an advertisement. If someone wants to create a scholarly page on Century 21 Real Estate, like one might find for Ford Motor Company, IBM, or McDonald's, they can add a link here, but I've left it off so as not to give it undue emphasis. Perhaps this is a decent compromise? -- Jeff Q 02:30, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)

- Speaking just for myself, I think that your edit is a decent compromise. PrimeFan 22:06, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
I'm not entirely certain what the standard is for dealing with short "number" articles like 021. My guess is that it should be merged here, or possibly to an area code page somewhere. Does anyone else know? --Elonka 02:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- If there's a page for Tehran area codes, this tidbit should definitely go there. Either way (and assuming there are no disagreements on the notability of the rapper Hich Kas), it wouldn't hurt for the article on the integer 21 to mention this provided it's clear that the digit string is "021" and not just "21".
