== August 2023 ==
== Semi-protected edit request on 14 February 2023: in fig: NumberSetinC.svg, Zero is shown under Natural number please edit it under whole numbers ==
I'm updating the caption for the image. D Lazard if you don't like this you can keep reverting me to your own satisfaction. And maybe you will win over me but eventually the truth will prevail. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/96.227.223.203|96.227.223.203]] ([[User talk:96.227.223.203#top|talk]]) 10:48, 29 July 2023 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
== Title - should it be Numbers rather than Number ==
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number#/media/File:NumberSetinC.svg
 
Just "Number" feels a bit strange - in the rest of the article, the word "Numbers" is used much more often [[User:Jhadden23|Jhadden23]] ([[User talk:Jhadden23|talk]]) 14:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
in above link, Zero is shown under Natural number please edit it under whole numbers <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bomanhoo19|Bomanhoo19]] ([[User talk:Bomanhoo19#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bomanhoo19|contribs]]) 09:46, 14 February 2023 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:There is nothing wrong in this figure, and neither "natural number" nor "whole number" appear in the figure and in its caption. For the coverage of "whole number" in Wikipedia, please read [[Whole number (disambiguation)|Whole number]], and the comments on this phrase in [[Natural number]] and [[Number#Natural numbers|here]]. Nothing more is needed for a phrase that is not in common use because of its ambiguity. [[User:D.Lazard|D.Lazard]] ([[User talk:D.Lazard|talk]]) 10:58, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 
:No. Per [[WP:SINGULAR]], the title should not be pluralized. Since there are many such objects (numbers), referring to them in the plural is common.—[[User:Anita5192|Anita5192]] ([[User talk:Anita5192|talk]]) 15:33, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
== Citations subheading ==
 
== Grammar correction ==
The citations currently fall under the Notes section. Shouldn't there be a "citations" section for them? [[User:UnqaidIntern|UnqaidIntern]] ([[User talk:UnqaidIntern|talk]]) 21:20, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 
:There’s a lot of variation of the names of these appendices from one article to another. "Notes" here means "intermixed textual footnotes and citation footnotes". –[[user:jacobolus|jacobolus]] [[User_talk:jacobolus|(t)]] 21:24, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Before reference 4, you have “ (and its combinations with real numbers by adding or subtracting its multiples).” It should be “(and it'''''<nowiki>'</nowiki>'''''s combinations with real number by adding or subtracting it'''''<nowiki>'</nowiki>'''''s multiples).” [[User:PP3CATWSPofficial|PP3CATWSPofficial]] ([[User talk:PP3CATWSPofficial|talk]]) 09:24, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

:No: this text correctly uses [[Its (pronoun)|the pronoun "its"]] (meaning "of it"), which does not contain an apostrophe. [[It's]] would be an abbreviation for "it is combinations" or possibly "it has combinations", which are not the intended meaning here.

::Oh yeah, you are right. I confused it with another rule, sorry! [[User:PP3CATWSPofficial|PP3CATWSPofficial]] ([[User talk:PP3CATWSPofficial|talk]]) 10:03, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
