A brief lists of facts needing checking.

Uncertain facts w/sources

Check these facts against the sources listed, and remove them as appropriate

  • Pi - in the 'history of pi' section, a reference is made to Nehemiah. This same argument has been made separately much later by Rabbi Levi (html, in his discussion of "Kings"). Is this coincidence? A mistake of the wiki editors? Or a mistake in the one general source, Petr Beckmann's A History of Pi?

Uncetain facts w/out sources

Check a standing reference on the subject to see if these statements make sense.

Uncertain references

Check these refs/their authors and reviews to see if they are in fact reliable.
