it is clear that that particular user is affected by it. The user passionately wants only the top five of the ten winners names mentioned although they all receive the same award and distinction.I guess there is a place to be less restrictive and discriminatory against children even they do not match a certain user's exacting high standards. There is certainly a need to mention all 10 winners just as the other five as they too were awarded Gold Medals and similar recognition.The basis for the discrimination doesn't have clarity and one can only speculate the reasons stemming from the user. A safe way appears to be to include all Ten winners to keep the spirit of the article alive for the kids until such time when the inclusion of absurd numbers make little sense when only the winners could be mentioned.The absence of major history and other information pertaining to the event would clearly be another reason to keep the complete list as of now.The list is not making the article bloated as the names are the main content of the page. Lastly the pride that children from around the World may acquire from seeing their names in events related to
Mathematics may well be the biggest incentive to keep the whole list at least for now.The event appears to be targeted towards children and the numbers registered for the event is impressive and in millions..It is all about children and adults and wiki users may have to be reminded of that simple fact.And that any achievement from children should be celebrated however much it affects our particular sensibilities.

In recent times there has been some repeated attempts at editing and deleting the number of winners included.We are unsure of the reasons behind this act. The premise for reducing the list which all seem to crop up from an ip based in
Wellington in New Zealand appears baffling for starters although
261:
Having watched this entry for a year or two, I'm drawn to the conclusion that it is less about simple facts and more about free publicity for the creators of
Mathletics. The language is not neutral, but is more like the spin that comes from PR divisions, e.g. "The 2010 event has many enhancements
262:
which should really test the top competitors...", "The World Maths Day team advise utilising the practice period...", "The goal of this years event is not to test stamina, but true mathematical speed and accuracy...". As such, it appears to not follow
270:. Much of the detail regarding how the event is run is not required to understand what the event actually is - an external link would be sufficient for this purpose and is provided in the article body and the External References section.
