Sadly, he has a point. There are definite crusaders on the English Language wikipedia, trying to keep it from acknowledging outside of europe influences. Check the talk page for the list of oldest universities in the world. Or check the article on Catalan Numbers. There is a sentence that baldly claims Catalan Numbers were "invented here", and then there is a weasel worded statement noting that evidence exists that Chinese Mathematicians knew and used them. -- -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]] _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
