Dear Vicki What exactlly did you mean with your tag [copyedit (what's with all these one-sentence entries on mathematicians?)]. Is there anything and what wrong with "one-sentence" entries on mathematicians. Do you mean such sentences where there are just data of birth and death or something elese? I am curious to know. I've put there-in just for futher developments some of the most important SLovene mathematicians and I do hope that do not bothers you. Geet my best regards from Slovenia.

Generally, I usually differ to Vicki's jundgement -- she is a professional copyediter. However, in this case I think her statement was out of place. The entries I saw where good definition entries of mathematicians that really should be in any respectable encylopedia. Many of these will now develop into good articles -- and those that don't will remain definitions. The same is true for hardcover encyclopedias -- sometimes there just isn't enough interest in a particular person to write more than a good definition entry. Just my 2 cents. maveric149
Although both spellings (Möbius and Moebius) are acceptable (they didn't have strict spellings back in the 18th century), I think we should standardise on one of them for the title of articles such as Moebius strip/Moebius function vs. Möbius inversion formula. So I'll start a vote here... -- Timwi 23:05 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I'm a little confused by the notion of "posthumous co-discovery". Perhaps someone could explain scientific work from beyond the grave? -- VV 08:16, 31 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- I'm not sure...TBOMK, it was co-discovered in 1858, long before Mobius took his final breath. Revolver 10 Nov 2003
[edit] What about a picture
In think this article could use a good picture of August Möbius, wich im sure could be found anywhere, rather than only of his Möbius strip. The reason I dont do it it's because i'm not sure how.--64.32.92.84 23:33, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Date of birth
Why are there two different dates of birth in one article? I don't know his real birthday, but only one of them can be right! Erwin 13:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
