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?

Dennis Taylor (the snooker player) has Ireland under his nationality but he is in the which is in Northern Ireland. I believe that this is correct and that therefore his nationality should be Northern Irish but I'm not certain. It seems like an obvious mistake which was why I thought there might be another reason behind it, e.g. dual nationality, Dennis's preference, etc., but there's no source to say if that is the case. If anyone knows that would be great. I've posted a message under Talk:Dennis Taylor so if you can clarify there if anyone finds something out that would be great and clear things up.

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

I'd like to request that someone check through Somaliland shilling. I recently merged content from a less well-written article, Somaliland Shilling, into a better one, and have not been able to verify some statements made in the worse article. Thanks!

Peripatetic This article contains a rather strange bit at the bottom, and even though it is a stub, someone with some background in Greek philosophy should check on it.

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