Talk:Liu Hui's π algorithm

1669:@Chaosdruid Simply saying that mixed script is not allowed isn't an argument. The reason that there is a ban on mixed script is because of move vandalism, not legitimate uses like this one. That said, I would agree that mixed script should probably be avoided for stylistic reasons in many cases. For instance, if one part of a title were written in Arabic and the other in Latin characters, such a juxtaposition would just look strange. But in this case, we're talking about the easily-recognizable mathematical symbol π. If anything, spelling it out looks stranger than using the standard symbol. Regarding your second point, the only part of the MoS section you linked to that seems to be relevant here is the part that suggests having redirects in place if a symbol appears in an article title that is not commonly found on keyboards. Well, a move will leave a redirect in place. The only other point that could conceivably be relevant is the worry that a browser will render an ordinary Greek letter as a square box. I don't think this would ever happen. 938:. Simply saying that mixed script is not allowed isn't an argument.

I don't think this would ever happen. 200: 95: 1006:. Many of the Google books hits for "pi" are for a proper name, and sometimes the Greek letter π is written as , with square brackets. Also, many of those hits are not about the mathematical constant, but are publications of fraternities, etc., so not really relevant to this discussion. It's hard to say what the relative proportion of relevant uses is in each case, so we shouldn't place much stock in such search results. More on the issues with using naive Google searches in this way can be found in 85: 64: 305: 190: 169: 295: 274: 1887:) 08:34, 18 January 2016 (UTC) well I guess if you are quoting an RS, which I can't check at present, there isn't much I could do about this. In this case I suspect the RS may be biased, or not cited accurately. I have certainly got better results on a 96-gon on a spreadsheet using Archimedes than Archimedes did and my instinct (if such is acceptable) is that both methods are exactly the same in accuracy. 1465:, not because of a consensus that it has the right name. The situation is also different because that article needs disambiguation from the letter, and none of the other articles involving the constant do. "mixed script which is not allowed" is nonsense. There is no policy or guideline against mixed script titles, and in fact they can be created with no problem (I created 33: 1492:

You boldly renamed this article without previous discussion. Apparently you thought there would be a consensus for that move, but quite clearly there isn't. It's standard practice to undo such moves before any formal discussion. (Exceptions would be in case of serious policy violations or maybe when

My second sentence: We have an article about the letter π and an article about the constant π. This complicates matters, as articles on Greek letters are by convention under their names written in Latin letters. (For practical reasons: Some of them are visually indistinguishable from Latin letters,

The section on significance of the algorithm suggests that it generates better results than Archimedes algorithm. Has anyone checked to see if Liu Hui's superior results are because he made more accurate calculations? The denominators in Archimedes fractions are mostly single digits and generally

But that article is about the symbol itself, while this article is not about the symbol "π", it is about the number that is symbolized by π (or about an algorithm for this number). When we are referring to the number, it's reasonable to use the symbol, which is a perfectly normal part of English
1708:
That section says "Symbols such as "♥", as sometimes found in advertisements or logos, should never be used in titles. This includes non-Latin punctuation such as the characters in Unicode's CJK Symbols and Punctuation block.". It is not referring to Greek letters, which have been being used in

Prefer the current title, I do not find the argument to change compelling. The use of the symbol π is just as reasonable as the use of latin letters with diacritics, and is probably more recognizable than some of the more rare diacritics such as Ł, which we also allow in article titles. — Carl

and we should treat them all uniformly.) The situation is much clearer for titles such as "Liu Hui's π algorithm". No typesetter in their right mind would typeset this as "Liu Hui's pi algorithm" without very good reason, as it looks eccentric to the audience of the article.
1489:@Hans - Well, so nice to meet you! Maybe you can try a little harder to explain your second sentence? Do not call something nonsense just because you don't like it, get the policy changed, then it won't be on a blacklist and then the impediment will have been removed. 1216:
Well, I think it's safe to say that google ngrams is not a reliable indicator of what we should do. We should look at reliable, scholarly sources, rather than quantitative statistics from Google, that mindlessly indexes every random bit of junk in the cosmos.
1166:
Some have argued to avoid using diacritics when there is an alternative supported in standard English (e.g., Moebius for Möbius). As a general rule, I support the use of diacritic marks in titles: "Moebius" seems like a philistine spelling to me. Added:

readers will only read it as "p". Lastly having a consensus of five people in a project does not mean that you can start doing things your way across the whole of the encyclopedia. These comments should be in the discussion section - moving them now...

requiring admin intervention) and balance them with the disruption caused by the vandals. It is dastardly to present the blacklist as an argument against perfectly legitimate titles, and in fact it borders on siding with the page move vandals.
1171:
basically says that the use of diacritics depends on what is used in most English-language sources, so we prefer Möbius to Moebius, but Weierstrass to Weierstraß. The key point, however, is that there is nothing wrong with diacritic marks
615: 393:
Archimedes made arguments that hold with a formal modern definition. Liu Hui may have understood the *property* of convergence, but Archimedes actually made limit arguments and *solved* convergences. Those are two very different things.

You moved the articles after the vote opened and now you vote on the move that you already made. I'm sure what you are doing is regular and proper. I just want to clarify things so that everyone can follow this unusually complex vote.
1395:
But why were the moves done in such an unusual way? After all, they were never likely to be voted down. But even if editors voted for these titles, they would still have trouble getting approved because they are blacklisted.
1623:
Not to disagree with your general point here, but you might choose a better example. It is a standard practice to spell out the names of symbols and this is not related to browser capabilities. The article title is

OK, this is my last attempt. If you don't listen now I won't try again (I hope). There is no policy or guideline against mixed titles. If you think otherwise, the onus is on you to say where it is.
1149:
We have been using diacritics for years, in both article bodies and titles, and there seems to be little chance of that changing. Saying diacritics are "controversial" overstates the issue. — Carl

There is no reason to do it that way. There is a consensus at WikiProject Mathematics that using "pi" in an article title is eccentric and should not be done.
