• diffhist Pythagoras 23:32 −2 Deor talk contribs (→Life: clarif)
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:26 −192 Psychastes talk contribs (→Prohibitions and regulations: Zhmud p. 200 "Of the commandments, only the taboos on the meat of non-sacrificial animals and on beans are more or less reliably linked to the Pythagoreans")
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:15 −99 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: word flow)
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:09 +2 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: ce)
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:08 −751 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: reduce prose, get to the point of the sources faster)
• diffhist Pythagoras 23:02 −289 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: rm apparent original research)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:59 −107 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: that's certainly an exciting claim that porphyry and iamblichus wrote their biographies as polemics against christianity, but it's not one Zhmud makes!)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:55 −1 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: move tetractys picture up)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:55 +1 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: space)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:55 −1,681 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: excise manufactured controversy where none actually exists and there is no disagreement between the cited sources, remove long discussion of numerology associated with Roman-era neopythagoreans rather than pythagoras himself)
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:46 −200 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: Gregory doesn't verify the other two claims, and his statement isn't that the tradition is genuine, just the idea of the tetractys itself (which he's presumably citing burkert for, who also says this))
• diffhist Pythagoras 22:43 −113 Psychastes talk contribs (→Numerology: not supported by the source, is about a claim made by Iamblichus about neopythagoreans)
• diffhist Pythagoras 21:13 −645 Psychastes talk contribs (rm unused note)
• diffhist Pythagoras 21:11 −525 Psychastes talk contribs (→In mathematics: this is some rather egregious source falsification - Kahn says there's "no evidence" of Pythagoras having introduced the theorem to the Greeks, and specifically says that he certainly didn't prove it! he also doesn't endorse the idea that Pythagoras discovered platonic solids or mean proportionals, he's pointing out that whitehead is wrong to claim he did!)
• diffhist Pythagoras 21:05 −148 Psychastes talk contribs (→In astronomy: this is true but unless we're going to connect the two facts and claim the greeks learned from the babylonians, i'm not sure its relevant)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:57 −1,341 Psychastes talk contribs (neither zhmud nor boyer, who are cited, verify this (chronologically impossible!) tale, and at any rate, most scholars today generally do not attribute any mathematical discoveries to either of them)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:50 −1,491 Psychastes talk contribs (the secondary sources here are much more skeptical of the ancient claims here, we shouldn't cite them as verifying those claims unless we discuss the modern scholarly analysis that disputes them)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:22 −21 Psychastes talk contribs (there are no other "early writers" who state this mentioned by Joost-Gaugier or Kahn)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:18 −4 Psychastes talk contribs (→Life: and and)
• diffhist Pythagoras 20:17 −516 Psychastes talk contribs (we don't need to spend that much time talking about herodotus or his reliability, given that he barely even mentions pythagoras)
• diffhist m Fibonacci word 20:16 −48 Beland talk contribs (custom spacing in math formulas (via WP:JWB)) Tag: JWB
• diffhist Pythagoras 19:09 +437 Psychastes talk contribs (much of the "biographical sources" section seems to fit better in either the legacy or the teachings sections, as it describes the content itself of the sources, not just their reliability. we can probably have a brief (and possibly briefer) description of the difficulties at the head of the life instead of hitting the reader with a heavy dose of source criticism first thing)
• diffhist Antiprism 02:52 −80 Beland talk contribs (convert special characters found by Wikipedia:Typo Team/moss (via WP:JWB)) Tag: JWB

Non-embedded Template:Side box gets `font-size: 88%;` from Module:Side box/styles.css#L-6; an embedded Template:Side box (usually through the module) gets the same 88% plus another 88% from class .infobox at MediaWiki:Common.css (to be migrated to Module:Infobox/styles.css). 0.88*0.88=0.7744, which is less than 85% from the guideline MOS:FONTSIZE.

• diffhist Pythagoras 02:32 −15,385 Psychastes talk contribs (a number of sources on this article are either written by self-described "occultists" or by non-specialists who are simply mirroring primary sources uncritically; given the amount of nonsense that circulates about pythagoras i am removing them and all the claims only supported by them. there are plenty of high quality sources cited on this page which can be used to improve it)

• diffhist Pythagorean theorem 05:47 −92 Jacobolus talk contribs (there's also a (not as good) scan of the 1940 printing of loomis's book. frankly though I think it's completely fine to use the URL parameter of the main citation template to link to a later printing of the same edition of a book. We can probably also skip the ERIC scan here)
