I made a few things a bit more understandable, hopefully. I'm no expert in algebra, so if I made any mathematical mistakes, apologies and change them. I still find the second half of the article a bit difficult to follow, to be honest. The first half is much better. Two points/questions: first, boldface is normally only used for article titles at the beginning or for emphasis of definitions, not to emphasise a phrase or sentence. Second, I'm not sure why all the magma defs need to be in quotes? I know these are usually defined for more specific structures (subcategories of Mag), but would the reader pick up the meaning from context? Revolver 00:42, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] a complete mess....

This article does not even state the argument concisely and neither gives a proof of it (not that it's hard). The section on the "non-monoidal case" seems overly technical. What do you think about a complete rewrite? I don't want to offend anyone, just trying to be bold: WP:BB - Saibot2 11:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
