A defintion of a PID that is set off from the rest of the paragraph would be nice also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.43.8.56 (talk) 15:24, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

A proof of the examp/.,le given of a PID that is not an ED would be nice.

I'm sure it's given in Wilson, J. C. "A Principal Ring that is Not a Euclidean Ring." Math. Mag. 34-38, 1973... 129.97.45.36 09:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

might be nice to mention the structure theorem for PID's too.

[edit] leader

I rewrote the leading paragraphs: they contained a lot of stuff about rings and ideals in general: this is not the place for that. I put stuff more pertinent to PIDs, instead.--345Kai 04:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
