Skewes number
Cloudy 176, the offical name is Skewe's number even if thats not grammaticaly correct and in fact it is grammaticaly correct (ex. Ike's). P.S. of course you have done a marvelous job with almost everything else, keep up the good work! P.S.S. I merged the googoldeca/deci pages. Ace45954 22:54, February 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope, the person's name who defined that number is "Skewes", not "Skewe". See here. So Skewes' number is the correct title. (We doesn't add s next to the ' if the letter just before ' is s) Cloudy176 00:26, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually when he first published it he used Skewes's number. Grammatically both are correct but, Skewes's is preferred. See here. Ace45954 02:37, March 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh dear. I think we have some conflicting sources.
 * Wolfram MathWorld says "Skewes Number."
 * J. H. Conway and R. K. Guy say "Skewes's Number" (see The Book of Numbers.)
 * Jonathan Bowers says "Skew's Number."
 * Wikipedia ways "Skewes' Number."
 * Does anyone have any access to the original paper by Stanley Skewes himself, or whatever paper first names this number? FB100Z &bull; talk &bull; contribs 23:25, March 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Since the name of the person who originally wrote the paper is "Stanley Skewes", we can discard "Skew's Number" off the bat. The name of the number would not have appeared in the original paper as numbers named after people are almost always given that name by someone else. Since the last name "Skewes" ends in an "s", the possessive version would be skewes', not skewes's. Hence it should be Skewes' Number. This is the term I have used, and I consider Skewes Number, or Skewes's Number to be errors no matter who wrote them. Anyway that's my two cents on the issue Sbiis Saibian (talk) 17:15, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Bot
Hiya,

There are lots of pages on this wiki that are largely identical, and making small changes to large amounts of them is tedious. To combat this problem, I have created a bot, GoogolBot, to help us out with automated tasks (like going through all the numbers in the famous infinity scrapers page). To be able to request the bot flag, I will need your approval. Do you think this is a good idea?

By the way, thanks heaps for maintaining this place while I'm off at other Wikia wikis :) If you don't already know, I've made you an administrator so you can be more efficient in your contributions. Happy editing! FB100Z &bull; talk &bull; contribs 20:05, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Cloudy! Please check out Forum:MathJax + GoogolBot and let me know what you think. FB100Z &bull; talk &bull; contribs 05:07, November 10, 2012 (UTC)

 * Attacking somebody in the internet (such as posting bad things) is bad as attacking somebody in real life. I want more clouds! 03:09, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

wikiFactor
Our wikiFactor is only 3? Lame. Why not triakulus? FB100Z &bull; talk &bull; contribs 06:33, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Actually, for some reason, this page does not got updated for some time, looks like it's a bug. I think the actual wikiFactor is now higher. -- I want more clouds! 06:48, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

What is the limitation for a source? I want to know if I can make pages for 12^4, 12^5, etc. and how.
I've gotten your message on my talk page. I am sure that making another page on another site myself probably counts as making one up, but I refuse to live in a world where nobody has made any words for powers of 12 over 12^3. What is the limitation for a formal source?
 * Our definition of 'reliable source' is pretty subjective, and we're quite liberal in what we allow. As long as it's on another website/book/paper, it's okay. FB100Z &bull; talk &bull; contribs 23:45, February 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * So wait, let me get this straight. If the source is on another page, does said page necessarily have to be from someone other than the contributor?
