[edit] Stirlitz

You should check the page's history. Firstly, it used to be stated there that Stirlitz is a Russified spelling of German "Stierlitz". Secondly, I merged this page with Otto von Stirlitz, which explained his rank in the Nazi army as colonel. If you think these statements are false, you may edit the article as you think fit. --Ghirlandajo 14:52, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Links

Please note that you can write

...the number of [[necklace (combinatorics)|necklaces]] is...

and the reader sees

...the number of necklaces is...

and when they click on "necklaces", they are directed to necklace (combinatorics), so you do not need to write

...the number of necklace (combinatorics)s is...

as you did in Moreau's necklace-counting function.

Also, you should use the see-also section of an article only for related topics, not for other topics with the same name. At necklace, you could have written at the top of the article:

{{dablink|For another sense of this word, see [[necklace (combinatorics)]].}}

and the reader would see

For another sense of this word, see necklace (combinatorics).

(italicized automatically by the "dablink" template).

I've now reated a new page titled necklace (disambiguation) and put a dablink at necklace. Michael Hardy 19:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for all your help. I did not notice the broken link in Moreau's necklace-counting function. I supposed the [[necklace (combinatorics)]]s to render as necklaces due to combination of () hiding and plural rule, but I forgot the pipe to make it the correct [[necklace (combinatorics)|]]s, which works. Also thanks for directing me to the {{dablink}}, the See also section was definitely not the right idea. I keep forgetting things when I am out for a while.

Considering the merging, of Moreau's necklace-counting function, Lyndon word and necklace (combinatorics), I agree that the first one shall merge, but I am not sure which of the two other should it merege into. The function itself does not deserve own article, it is doubled in Lyndon word, moreover it contains definition of necklace, which also fits elsewhere. I hope to take care of that.
