Talk to me!

[edit] Julius König

Thank you for improving my article on Julius König. Perhaps you would like to have a look on the following articles too: Jules Richard, Actual infinity, Paradoxes of Set Theory.

In particular I have quoted some German literature there, which should be available and would be preferable in English. Regards, WM 15:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paradoxes of set theory

Hi WLior, I see you were on this site. Your correction is welcome. (By "cardinal" I meant an abbreviation for cardinal number as one sometimes says real instead of real number. But that might have been too much slang.) 217.94.220.246 07:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC) Regards, WM

Using "cardinal" is ok, but it's not great English. Rather than saying "the number of people in the US is larger than the number of people in Canada" normal usage is "the population of the US is larger than the population of Canada". In other words, it's more natural (and shorter) to talk about the "cardinality" of a set rather than of the "associated cardinal number". WLior 13:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hajj

Hi. You seem to have reverted my edit to the calendar issue in the introduction. I think it's better to say you can't peg Mulism holidays to the solar year than to the Gergorian calendar, since the issue is independent of the solar calendar you use (you can't peg them to the Persian calendar any more than the Gergorian one). The difference is between the lengths of the solar year and 12 lunar months, not between any two particular calendars. WLior (talk) 22:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

e does not redirect to solar calendar; it redirects to tropical year, which is not precisely the same thing. And, yes, it's true that you cannot peg the event to the Iranian calendar, but you can't peg it to a variety of other things either (say, for example, the Hebrew calendar). The point is that you can't peg it to the most commonly used calendar, the Gregorian calendar. Yes, there are other calendars, ones that aren't used as widely, but the comparison is mostly there help the average reader – who primarily knows the Gregorian calendar – understand the concept. -- tariqabjotu 05:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't make sense to say that the "Gregorian Calendar" is 11 days longer. The calendar lasts forever -- it's the year that's longer. I'll try something to that effect. WLior (talk) 05:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
