It has been suggested that History of writing ancient numbers be merged into History of writing numbers That is backwards I created History of writing ancient numbers from History of writing numbers because History of writing numbers was too broad a title and overlapped the subject matter of History of numerals and Numeral system Leave History of writing ancient numbers alone I will erase and redirect the other page I hope I got it right this time I accidently erased then reverted History of writing ancient numbers I reduced this page to a stub to be redirected later because the proposed merger was effectedly done a week ago Sorry for the confusion
