Please see my discussion of Names for Large Numbers. -- Stephen001

I clicked on the above link and it says that it doesn't exist.

Trillion

[edit]

This article uses Trillion twice, and means different values each time!!! This is inconsistent and must be corrected. Ian Cairns 01:57, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Did you remember...

[edit]

...when Wikipedia had articles for larger numbers?? Now they survive as re-directs to Names of large numbers after a time on Vfd. Any discussion on what to do with this article?? 66.245.89.130 02:01, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Fixed

[edit]

The article has a table of contents now, so I removed the stub tag. It's not a stub anymore! We can leave it be now.Scythe33

Merging this article with names of large numbers

[edit]

Do you support or oppose merging this with names of large numbers?

Contradiction

[edit]

This article states that the traditional British definition of a quadrillion is , whereas the Names of large numbers page states . Following the logic of the old system this page seems to be at fault, but with no references I am reluctant to change the page. Can someone with more knowledge on the matter check which is correct?

You're right, so I changed the page. I checked it against the Oxford English Dictionary to be sure. Thanks. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 00:17, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clearing that up. RossMM 16:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This Article Used to be Large - What Happened to It?

[edit]

What happened to this article that now consists of basically 2 sentences? It used to be an extensive article... Did the Wikipedia reductionists show up again? Stevenmitchell (talk) 15:55, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No citations

[edit]

The stub article makes some bold claims without citation. What are the numbers of English speakers using the different definitions proffered? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.208.49.21 (talk) 15:23, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

short scale countries

[edit]

All English speaking countries use the short scale. "Short scale countries" is a weird phrase that tells the reader nothing. Also definitions in wikipedia are always the English definition unless otherwise noted. Bhny (talk) 18:36, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
