You may not have noticed the comment that I've already added to this page:

Written on 13 Mar 2009. Ideas implemented into practice on 25 Apr 2016.

Which is to say, my thoughts here have already been included into Template:Roman. Any further changes (such as your proposal for "m" as a negative indicator) are for discussion there. :-) You probably want to start a new section rather than tack it onto an existing (and finished) conversation. It's worth providing a source for your suggestion, as I've not heard of negative numbers being represented in Roman numerals before. (Also, please sign your comments.) Thanks! -Stelio (talk) 09:53, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Minus sign

I cant defend nor refuse whether an m was used together with roman numbers or not (though its possible), but i can affirm that historically an m was used as minus sing and more even that that m derived in tha actual "-". There is an article here that talks about the history of the minus sign probably it is this. -. Im talking directly to you because you are the author and that the script has its years and I feared that nowbody was following it, also I wanted to talk with you on a start however this talk can migrate there at any timr. In the case that an m was never used among with roman numbers it still would be useful in terms of completeness, anyone who is trying to express negative numbers with roman numerals is possibly committing an error but give him the right to be wrong anyways more even when its use would be correct in some contexts like user pages.--Neurorebel (talk) 10:11, 15 June 2017 (UTC) PD: the reference for its use somewhere in history is recalled here: Plus_and_minus_signs#History. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neurorebel (talk • contribs) 10:15, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
