seems to lead from "philosophy and theology" therefore must be the proceeding factors, therefore excluding for example - philosophy might be metaphysics and a more specific identification of theological thought on infinity. 23h112e (talk) 22:16, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

message: So, User:23h112e has been blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Whalestate, blocked indefinitely in December 2015. It is clear to me that User:Drift chambers, blocked in March 2012, is also the same editor. Other confirmed sockpuppets of this user have edited this page extensively as well in the meantime, and the editor has some difficulties expressing himself in language that is easily understood; this is even more of an issue, perhaps, in a highly abstract article like this. Is the current version of the article an improvement, or would it be worthwhile to try for a clean version of this article? Since the blocking of User:Drift chambers, that would be something like this diff. Or, this is what the article looked like before Drift chambers arrived, keeping in mind that the block of Drift chambers was for "insufficient competence to edit." Which is better, the old version or the current one? Dekimasuよ! 07:22, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: (EC) That's fair enough, and I support the change. However, if you'd like to do more: at the very least, User:Plagktos (May 2017), User:6cb49af5c4 (March-April 2016), and as I mentioned User:Whalestate (March-June 2015) were also socks that added significant text after the User:Drift chambers edits.

text: And now I've bothered to read what you wrote, sigh. OK, so pre-23h probably isn't clean. The pre-DC version I looked at  looks pretty bad too. Perhaps we should just accept that we've never had a decent article and rebuild it from the ground up? William M. Connolley (talk) 09:10, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, I see what you mean. I went back to the first edits of the article, and there wasn't much more clarity then. Dekimasuよ! 09:16, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

text: It looks like early versions were broken out of the Infinity article in 2007. There's always Infinity#History to fall back on again if necessary, and perhaps other articles. Dekimasuよ! 09:21, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

text: I got a bit sidetracked here, and I'm not sure I'm the best editor to answer this question, so I hope there's an appropriate place to ask for more input. User:Deacon Vorbis might be tired of being pinged to this talk page, but I'll try once anyway. My understanding is that this should be about everything that's not explicitly mathematical, which would encompass both (early) philosophy and theology. I'm not sure we can rely upon the section from Infinity to properly define the scope so long after the split. History of infinity sounds like it would be easier to write, however.
