Hello, I'm DVdm. Your recent edit to Approximations of π appears to have added incorrect information, so I removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 17:31, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

William Shanks published 607 digits of pi in 1853, and 707 digits in 1873. You can find citations on the pages for both William Shanks and Chronology of computation of π, which correctly list the 707 number. Here are some sources:
