:I agree. Maybe it should go in the bio section, with the names of those whose co-authorship earns him the number. On it's own it reads a bit like his shoe size, at least to someone unfamiliar with the term. ] (]) 10:20, 20 August 2009 (UTC) :I agree.

==Does this "talk page" actually work?==
:Is there a discussion permitted here about ANYTHING??? In particular regarding additional reliable sources which might be permitted for addition regarding article in question?

:Apparently, listing sources for discussion on this page isn't permitted??
:Given this apparent fact, WHAT CAN BE DISCUSSED HERE?

:Nothing?

:When I listed merely ''for discussion'' 5-6 reliable sources, including a few major newspapers, the material was deleted and this TALK PAGE was shut down for extended period....by a single editor who has "administrator" status.
....This despite lots of editors questioning contents........
:::Very problematic??

:On the contrary, you did add BLP violations to this page. I think there ''might'' have been something to discuss after the BLP violations were removed, but the reviewing admin differs.
:Also, there are '''not''' "lots of editors questioning contents". I would say there have been 3: two editors and the one who refuses to create an account, but happens to be at the university where Hewitt teaches. — ] ] 05:25, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
:When I noted this page on a list of the supposed "Ten Wackiest Arguments on Misplaced Pages," I was drawn to it out of curiosity.
So far, I've not been disappointed!

:Perhaps you might try to explain yourself rather than making mere assertions.

Erdős number in introduction

Do others agree with me that having someone's Erdős number in the introduction is awkward? __meco (talk) 08:07, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree. Maybe it should go in the bio section, with the names of those whose co-authorship earns him the number. On it's own it reads a bit like his shoe size, at least to someone unfamiliar with the term. Kevin (talk) 10:20, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
