References
[edit]The last remaining peer review comment is that there are too few references for an article of this length. Can any followers of this article, particularly with foreign languages, add further references from reliable sources, please? - Ian — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.123.238 (talk) 7 June 2012
Thousands separators
[edit]Somebody needs to change the thousands separators to conform with ISO-Standard. 2001:2043:7C4E:8200:548D:A650:22ED:4ECE (talk) 07:07, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Per wp:DIGITS, e.g. 1,000,000 is fine (as is 1 000 000, or rather 1000000, where the latter is written wit the "gaps" construct). Nø (talk) 18:41, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
