I replied on my talk page about categories of hypernumbers. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Numbers

Hi. I undid some of the categorization you did in this category. For example, real number is already in Category:Real numbers, which is a subcategory of Category:Numbers, as such there is no need for real number to also be in Category:Numbers. Articles in a subcategory should not (most of the time) also be in the parent category, there is a rule about that somewhere. You can reply here if you have comments.

Ok. That's fine, since we currently have the infobox / template about "Number systems in mathematics" ( Template:Numbers ), which directly links to certain pages. I still think that this infobox / template is in need of revision and have put a question out on Category_talk:Numbers. Let's see what feedback may come. Thanks, Jens Koeplinger 15:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I think that discussion may be better off at Template talk:Numbers as we are discussing the numbers template.
By the way, the consensus now is that template:numbers is too big to be posted on all numbers articles, like real number, etc. People think it belongs only at Number. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes, good idea; I'll post some updates in the discussion pages of template:Numbers and category:Numbers. I'm still getting familiar with numbers, and I was misled by the amount of information and the template in the category:Numbers and believed that this was a place where some details are being described. I have just now seen the article Number for the first time. Thanks for leading me to the right places. I'm fully fine with getting away with the template, and embed it in Number only. In the brief description of the category:Number we can then simply tell to look at the article for a detailed info on all those references. Thanks, Jens Koeplinger 17:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hypernumber

One suggestion. I wonder if you think it is a good idea to create redirects from Conic sedenion (also Conic sedenions) to hypernumber, as conic sedenions are explained at hypernumber. (And same for the other types of numbers described at hypernumber.) If you think it should be done, one can visit Wikipedia:Redirects to learn about creating redirects. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:48, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Done, great idea. I'll do so for conic octonion and conic octonions, too, so I don't always have to write "... from the hypernumbers program...". Thanks again, Jens Koeplinger 17:15, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
