in number hi arthur i see in number you have changed my additions of to with the edit summary that consensus seems to be that fractions are used in this manner in math articles i am more than happy to accept that i changed them as part of the ga review because there was not specifically anything on the talk page to indicate this consensus so defaulted to mos could you please point me to the consensus of which you speak i have no doubt you are right i myself was a little surprised that this had not come up before a comment about the consensus at the ga review would be very handy and i am more than happy to accept it incidentally i've raised the subject at wikipedia talk manual of style dates and numbers as it seems to me that all it says is to put fractions in fractional form without defining what that is and even in the section wp mosnum fractions only says what to do about common fractions which leaves us high and dry dealing with other fractions for myself i would not regard as a common fraction for example thanks for all your hard work here and everywhere at least one editor notices it
