Nikola Tesla Quote

I could not find any valid source for the quote by Nikola Tesla under the Philosophy section. It may be misleading and should be removed unless someone can find a valid source for this statement. --CarsExtendedWarranty (talk) 22:42, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Citations for "Religion and beliefs"

@Kuru Sorry to directly mention you, I'm not sure what the common practice is in terms of mentioning. I appreciate you linking the wikipedia abbr for why you removed the source/citation on the "Three on a Match" chunk. I ended up going back to look for more sources, and I was wondering if this 1984 newspaper article was worth anything? The column starts on page 57 of the PDF viewer, page C1 of the newspaper itself and ends on page 112 of the PDF viewer, page C6 of the newspaper. There is also a digitized/typed version of the column for archive reasons here

Another good reference might be this 1935 newspaper article that is both a super interesting read and a potential source!

If you have any thoughts or feedback it's greatly appreciated as I am very new to this! EM 1NH3 (talk) 20:00, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

The ping/notice worked perfectly - well done. NYT and SMH are solid sources; feel free to add those. There appears to be a large number of sources on the Three on a match page that could be used here as well. Sam Kuru (talk) 20:19, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Using $x$ as a variable

In the "List of basic calculations" section, it uses $x$ as a variable. This is not correct notation, because x was not defined 4.26.67.90 (talk) 19:03, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

Also the table is causing the page to grow longer horizontally.4.26.67.90 (talk) 19:12, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

I find it fairly clear from context that $x$ is the value in the column header, but would something like this be better?

$x$ Multiplication	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24	25	50	100	1000	10000
3 × $x$	3	6	9	12	15	18	21	24	27	30	33	36	39	42	45	48	51	54	57	60	63	66	69	72	75	150	300	3000	30000

This is incorrect!

In this article it states that three is the smallest prime number 2 is the smallest with its factors only being one and itself if you know how to edit and fix this please do. ~2026-32448-46 (talk) 14:12, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

No, the article says it is the smallest odd prime number, which is true, even if you think this is a bit silly, as I do. Imaginatorium (talk) 14:22, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
