[edit]By any standard his proof was correct. But it was not accepted by the Math establishment because he was not part of the inner circle. The claim that Stark did it with a similar proof is a whitewash, it means that he recycled Heegner's proof and took the credit for it. It is a shame that he died before it was accepted as the first proof of Gauss' imaginary quadratic field conjecture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.59.207.218 (talk • contribs) on the article page, and was moved here by me as it seems more suitable as a talk page comment.

[edit]The order of events given is ambiguous.
Triangles
[edit]The claim that Heegner called "Pythagorean triangles as Harpedonapten triangles for instance" is apparently a misreading. From the preview you can already see the phrase "pythagoreischen Dreiecks" twice on the first page. "Harpedonapten triangles" refers to the 3-4-5 triangle; see for example the Wikipedia article on this. So I am going to remove this claim. 176.119.30.204 (talk) 13:39, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
