Talk:20 (number)

message: Deleted this section. The statement that one is officially an adult at age 20 is incorrect in many, if not most jurisdictions. The term adult in an legal contexct may have several meanings, but more common ages of majority are 18 or 21.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmsg (talk • contribs) 16:45, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we really the sports stars who wear the number 20? Where does it stop? They should either all be removed, or at least trimmed to only the particularly noteworthy personalities. Psym (talk) 02:22, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

message: When Lincoln said in the Gettysburg Address "four score" (meaning 20 years), it suddenly clicked to me that four scores, as in the old roman counting system where each four vertical slashes with a horizontal slash thru the four (a score?) was a count of five.   Is that a correct interpretation of a score?  --173.69.135.105 (talk) 01:18, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

message: I've deleted this section.  It had mentioned the UK ₤20 and US $20 bills and whose portrait was on them.  Why only these two. How about euros, NZ dollars, Canadian dollars, etc.?  How about coins 20¢, 20p, etc.?  It might be interesting, though, to note that 20 is a common denomination for currencies in general (though no Canadian or US 20¢ pieces exist) and that there used to be 20 shillings to the pound.

message: I had removed the Music section which, rather than dealing with the number twenty (the topic of this page), was a list of musical things with "twenty" or "20" in their names.  It seemed to me that this kind of thing belongs at a disambiguation page.  That's what we usually do with off-topic stuff with a related name. M0rphzone, however, reverted this stating "there is no other disambiguation page; this is it; see talk and the other number articles".  Well, there is a disambiguation page but if there weren't, there should be.  As for the other number articles, there are disambiguation pages for many of them too.  Even if these disambiguation pages didn't exist, it wouldn't follow that they shouldn't. Disambiguation belongs on disambiguation pages.  These number pages should be about numbers.  Anyway, I came to talk as M0rphzone suggested and there was nothing here to justify his reverting me. JIMp talk·cont 09:35, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Really. You think I would just revert without checking? The fact that it was so hard to find—maybe that tells you something? If there is a dabpage, then why is it not linked in the dab? Why does the dablink redirect here? Why did you not properly update the links after moving the page? There're only 4 links that link to 20 (disambiguation). Next time fix them and clean up after your edits. Do you expect people to clean up after you? - M0rphzone (talk) 06:06, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course I don't expect people to clean up after me.  If I missed something, I'm sorry.  I'm also sorry for assuming that 20 (disambiguation) would be easy to find. JIMp talk·cont 01:37, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I want to add this
 *In percent-encoding, %20 represents the punctuatcion space in URL encoding
under the "In science" section. Another user disagrees and argues that is it not helpful and that the addition is not related to the "number 20". I argued that there are a couple of entries in this article that is not the "number 20" in a strict sense, but add value to the article none the less and that linking to percent encoding may help some readers find what they are looking for. Does anyone else want to give input? --Bensin (talk) 15:24, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It is really not a twenty, it is a two-zero. Even though I know this, it is percent-twenty to me when I see it. To me it should be in the article but perhaps create a new heading section for "Things that look like 20 but aren't"--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 18:07, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

In the linked article I see no evidence that the XX in "A3XX" was anything but a placeholder. Even if the assertion here is true, it's non-notable in my humble opinion. —Tamfang (talk) 00:34, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
