message: I read from left to right and then go down to the next line -- unless there is some spacing or other indication to do otherwise. So, when I read the picture of  three  plus two apples, I saw
A
AA
AA,
which is 1+2+2.  I think the image should be replaced with one like
A 
A.. A
A ..A 
if not <Br>
AAA
AA .
(where .. should be a blank space or two)

replies: text: I agree with this. Unfortunately it's not too easy to edit images. Can anyone make a new image like this (3 apples on the first row; 2 on the second)? — Bilorv(c)(talk) 16:09, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Could somebody please clarify what the image purports to mean? The one that reads "Defining (−2) + 1 using only addition of positive numbers: (2 − 4) + (3 − 2) = 5 − 6." --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:37, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: This seems impossible to clarify, as the scale (values corresponding to horizontal lines) as well as the meanings of colors and arrows are not defined. Even with the lacking definitions, I suspect that the figure would remain confusing. So, I have removed the figure. D.Lazard (talk) 09:59, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

message: What is the common hypernym of addition and subtraction, but not the wider known hypernym arithmetic operation
It is group-permissible transformation / group-allowable transformation (here write for which category, -ies of numbers) which excludes multiplication and division. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:4114:107C:784D:540A:FB23:78D0 (talk) 13:36, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Although not used very frequently, the proper term would be additive operation. The corresponding term for multiplication and division would be multiplicative operation. Your use of "group" above is too general as it can refer to anything having a single operation, which need not be addition or subtraction.--Bill Cherowitzo  (talk) 19:03, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

message: One of the images (2+4=6) uses the word 'translation' to explain it; how-ever, "translation" is not used any-where else in the article.  What does it mean? Kdammers (talk) 14:40, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: A translation is a rigid motion; i.e., moving without rotating, although in one dimension, this is a meaningless distinction (see Translation (geometry) for more, possibly technical as well).  This introduction of terminology probably isn't great.  If anyone wants to tweak it, please go ahead; I don't have any great ideas at the moment. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 14:47, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

message: One of the basic principles of good illustration is to label things where appropriate.  But this article has two illustrations with the same unlabeled three colors. "Adding π2/6 and e using Dedekind cuts of rationals" --What is red, what is blue, and what is green?  I don't know how this article got nominated to be a good article, with problems like this. 37.99.82.253 (talk) 09:57, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
