Wikipedia talk:Wikipedians by Erdős number
Untitled
[edit]I protest this replacement. The data on the page will be lost, and this seems to be a mindless bureaucratic exercise. Why replace one (1) short page by at least two (2) whole categories. Charles Matthews 22:53, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. This page isn't just a mapping of Wikipedians to Erdős numbers, but also gives paths to Erdős. Can we keep this page or are all "Wikipedians by…" pages being converted to categories? —Psychonaut 02:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
- I've done some checking and apparently there's no imperative to replace lists by categories. We can maintain both if we want. —Psychonaut 03:01, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Number 2 folks
[edit]Why are there several people listed with an Erdős number of 2, with the link between them and Erdős as a question mark? If you don't know the connection, how do you know your Erdős number is 2? --ScottAlanHill 04:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- (Two of those three questions marks were easy to fix.)
- In principle I would say that any listing here without a specified link to Erdős should be treated as an unsourced statement. Lklundin (talk) 20:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- The question marks could be due to a Wikipedian wishing to remain anonymous while announcing their Erdős number. Roger Hui (talk) 21:03, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Lisification
[edit]Per the discussion at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion/Archive/December 2007#Category:Wikipedians by Erdős number and all subcategories, I am placing the contents of the categories here, so that any names missing from the page may be added properly. --After Midnight 0001 15:18, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
