message: I have seen the base-13 number system referred to as Tredecimal, "Tridecimal and Triskadecimal, and cannot find a citation that shows whether one, two or all three are correct. Wiktionary, merriam-webster.com and dictionary.reference.com do not list any of the three.  A Google search shows Tredecimal being used more often, but many of those examples are a direct result of Wikipedia showing Tredecimal as the preferred form.  So I have three questions:
First, does anyone have any evidence at all showing which word to prefer?
Second, should we add a redirect from Triskadecimal as well as Tridecimal?
Third, is this the most obscure Wikipedia editing question you have ever heard, or are their Wikipedia editors out there hat are worse than I am? (Smile)  Guy Macon  12:58, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Base 13

message: "Also 4213 is read as "four two base thirteen" as the four is not in a "tens" column."
This seems just jarring for a discussion of a base-13 joke (or non-joke.)  42 is read as "forty two" in the absence of an explicit base.  
The sentence should be moved to its own paragraph on reading non-decimal numbers.  E.g. we say "hex forty-one or "41 base 16" when the base is not obvious.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.107.89.147 (talk) 23:32, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: ROT13

message: "That which remained unsaid..." is going to become a special title for an ongoing series. Strange how many articles give you the most out of the way trivia on a subject, but forget to tell you why this thing exists, and is in an encyclopedia. (See A4 paper for another example.) The point about base 13 is that it is a joke, because nobody would choose a prime number for a counting base. You could never divide anything evenly except by 1 and 13. (Actually, the decimal base is not much better; you can divide things evenly only 2 and 5. That is why the 12 system could have been so much better; it accepts 3 and 4 and 2 and 6 as divisors, and all those factors are more useful than 2 and 5 anyway.) The fact that it appears in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy gives it away, but only for people who know THAT book, and geekboys and girls, believe it or not, that ain't everyone.

Further, Raskin was the man who coined the term "information appliance" so I feel it's best to use his definition, which is just a device that handles (processes) a particular type of data.  "Internet appliance" adds the concept of connectivity, and was not a part of Raskin's definition.  So the connectivity requirements and the "Walled Garden" section are better suited for that article. --Foofy 15:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm not in Oldham, so I don't have easy access to the list of staff etc to check facts, but in my last edit I've made changes that bring it closer to the ideal.
