[edit] List of prime numbers

List of prime numbers has a relatively fixed and systematic format. If you want to include other things then I suggest discussing it at Talk:List of prime numbers. Maybe they are better placed elsewhere such as Prime-counting function and Twin prime. Beware of WP:OR. The nth prime and pi(n) can easily be verified at http://primes.utm.edu/nthprime/ (and your numbers are correct). The nth of special prime forms is harder to verify.

Interesting, I had no idea the Nth prime could be computed so easily. I don't think simply CALCULATING a number could be considered original research, but since the information already exists on the Prime-counting function page I removed it. I do think that if the Prime-counting function had been more obviously cross referenced I wouldn't have posted the extra info in the first place, so I added a brief statement after the list of 5000 primes to lead curious readers to the list on the Prime-counting function page for more primes. That's what I was looking for. I also removed the list of twin primes, I guess they are harder to calculate but they are still trivial. Rich.lewis (talk) 15:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kerry Thornley

I have no significant evidence to present in either case, other than official goverment documents. however, precedents on pages such as this work of fiction clearly establish that such sources are reliable enough for wikipedia's purposes. --PopeFauveXXIII (talk) 02:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you sayinhg you believe Kerry Thornley to be a real histroical person or a work of fiction? Rich.lewis (talk) 21:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
