144

Please elaborate why Bilbo's 144th birthday is important. Fanatic deletionists point to items like this in their mad quest to destroy all number articles. Look at the remark's on Lincoln's speech at eighty-seven as an example for elaborating landmark anniversaries. Let's hope no deletionist looks at your article before you get a chance to elaborate the Bilbo birthday. PrimeFan 18:46, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Well it isn't quite so important as Lincoln's speech. I was just using another number as a template and it was the only 144 I immediately thought of. Kevin Saff 19:34, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

You can help set the template for all the number articles by joining the discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Numbers. The problem with the articles on three and five is that they have a lot of bulleted lists, and bulleted lists are a pet peeve of the fanatic deletionists. We need to avoid bulleted lists, and any other thing that gives the fanatic deletionists ammo for their argument that all number articles should be deleted. PrimeFan 20:30, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for checking over the entrees that I entered the other day. I went back and rewrote Einstein's puzzle from scratch and did as you said i.e. entering the new info in a /Temp page. for the article on calculating the day of the week, I had emailed Guy Rimmer the person who hosts the site "http://www.terra.es/personal2/grimmer/". He gave me the go ahead to put a copy of his algorithm up on Wikipedia. As for the SAT words and definitions. I got them from a site (http://www.freevocabulary.com/), which claims they are free for individual and classroom use. I found them also in the same form on numerous other sites including Texas Instruments, which has a downloadable pdf version. I assumed this was public domain information for this very reason.
