[edit] In other fields

There are currently multiple reverts about these two:

106 is also:

• The number of surat Quraysh in the Qur'an.
• The maximum number of characters filenames can have in Joliet

The first simply says that "Quraysh" is the name of chapter ("sura") 106 of the Qur'an, which has 114 chapters (notable and mentioned in 114 (number)):

Previous Sura: Al-Fil	The Qur'an	Next Sura: Al-Ma'un
	Sura 106
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 This box: view • talk • edit

Should number articles be an index to the Qur'an? What about other famous works with many chapters? I don't think so. Note: I have no idea how important chapter 106 is considered, but Quraysh (sura) is short and doesn't sound important.

The Joliet claim is unsourced, not mentioned in Joliet (file system), and different versions apparently have different limits, sometimes 64, 106, 128, ?? Is there evidence that 106 is a significant limit? PrimeHunter 00:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
