Talk:19 (number)

message: :With respect to divisibility, nineteen has a very simple test: 19 divides 100×a+b if and only if it divides a+4×b.
I hardly think that's simple, and certainly not very simple. My standard for a simple divisibility test is whether performing the divisibility test is actually easier than dividing the number. In the case of this divisibility test, I think it's a lot easier to just divide the number. PrimeFan 21:38, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: Ok we can argue about it being a key number but it certainly is a very important no. in chemistry like a code which was discovered by Dr. Plichta. Goto http://www.submission.org/miracle/19-chemistry.html , youll see plichtas calcs past half the article but do go through all of it.
:Until there is something about this in a reliable source (probably a refereed journal), it doesn't belong in Wikipedia.Matchups 03:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Since your format is so spartan, just to let you know that your article on 19 will be a humorous  show peice in the book on non linear mathematics, and the book without giving its name is based on 19 prime and features the name of one of the most distinguished mathematician of the world who is on Wikepedia on its cover , and proves that the number 19 and its inverse is the center peice of all non linear mathematics. 
 I suppose we can give you an equation to give all you "Spartans" a hint: sans the thieves that abound in mathematics today
10/19-0.5 =0.026315789474 =(10/19*0.5)/10 =0.5- 9/19 =(9/19*0.5)/9--

message: I God Willing intend to add some statements on number 19 in the "Religion" section to show number 19's association with the Quran as its code.
For example, it’s the sum of the first powers of 9 and 10 and the difference between the second powers of 9 and 10 (Martin Gardner, Scientific American, Sept. 1980, p. 22).
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (﻿١﻿ 
[Quran 1:1] In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.* 
*1:1 The first verse in the Quran represents the foundation upon which a superhuman 19-based mathematical miracle is built. This important statement consists of 19 Arabic letters, and every word in it occurs in the whole Quran in multiples of 19 (Quran: By Dr. Rashad Khalifa Ph D).

replies: text: The Quran's verse (and even chapter) structure is not formally established.  And, we would need to know that Dr. Rashad Khalifa is an expert (whether or not you are he), or published in what we consider reliable sources.  I would advise against these additions unless from reliable sources.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 15:00, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

text: I disagree with the inclusion.  It's the unique theory of Rashad Khalifa and  United Submitters International  the organization may be notable enough to have the notes with "according to United Submitters International".... — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 13:02, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Actually, I'm not sure the Suras are numbered.  There have been reports that only the text of the Quran is considered inspired, not the division into Suras.  Furthermore, thats would be a property of 114, not of 19.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 19:08, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure I have objections, but I don't think you have a any clearly reliable source.  In discussions of any religious work, there are always dissenting views, and it's not clear your sources are mainstream.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 19:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Your previous post falls under WP:TL;DR.  Still not a good idea, in my opinion.  Even where accuracy is not disputed, notability, even among scholars of the Quran, is disputed.  If you can attribute the claims as relevant to a notable sect of Islam, they could be listed in regard that sect.  (I realize that mainstream Islam does not recognize the possibility of "sects".)  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 16:57, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

text: Please hold off on the changes; my finals are this week and next, although I only have one final next week (15 December), and may have time to consider your edits.  I still think you are using only one source of questionable reliability.  (And I'm not referring to the Koran, itself.  It's the interpretations your source is making of it.)  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 01:19, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

text: Some of the statements are notable and may be sourced.  However, 19xx numbers should not appear in this article.  Among items (1)-(17), there are no statements of any significance to the number 19.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 07:50, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
