Talk:35 (number)

Notability

Please note that I am not questioning the notability of the article itself. However, some of the items in the in other fields section are of questionable notability. For example:

35 is the age Mozart died. (Seriously, should we have a list of all people who died at age 35?)
35 as a greeting is often used in Croatia. It is used the same way as a word "respect" in some cultures. Pronounced tri'spet (No main article, perhaps good for Wiktionary, but is it worth even a passing remark here?)
"35 c", a song by Jagúar from the album Jagúar (Did it place? Was it ever popular?)
The number of the French department Ille-et-Vilaine (?)
The passing grade in many Indian Colleges (out of 100). Scoring a 35 is known to many students as getting a "Stamp" (Citation needed, at the least)
XXXV (album), the thirty-fifth anniversary album by folk rock band Fairport Convention (Did it place? Was it popular?)
35 is the title of a book written by Casper Schipper (Noteworthy book? If were to list all the books that started with or contained 35 in the title...)
Rule 35 of the internet states that if there is no pornography of it, there will be. (If we were to list all the rules of the internet... Rule 34, okay, because it is a big meme. But 35?)
35% is the amount of our waking time we spend at work (assuming a 40 hour work week and 8 hours of sleep). (Notable, yes... but it should probably be cited)
The number 35 was worn by retired Yankees and Orioles pitcher Mike Mussina. (The number itself is not retired. If were were to cite all the players who ever wore 35...)

See the guidelines in WP:NUM, and discuss there, if you want changes or explanations. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:55, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Among those you list, I would list 35 as a greeting (if sourced), the songs and books, possibly rule 35, but not the passing grade or the number worn by a retired pitcher. The French department numbers should be coordinated; I think they should be removed, but in all of the number articles. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:59, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It shall be done. Based on the criteria, none of them are really notable. However, since I can see your point on the songs and books, I'll just try and add some links. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:33, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bingo names -

Tetrahedral numbers

I made an alternate version of the image appearing in this article. Is it preferable to the existing version? The current one is very dark and wastes a lot of space on the left and right sides. SharkD Talk 06:28, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no graphic artist but that does look like an improvement. My only concerns are that the bold blue background is rather similar to the lower two layers of spheres, and at ten times the size of the current image it may load expensively for some readers. Certes (talk) 08:35, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think MediaWiki generates thumbnails that are smaller than the source image. I haven't tested this yet. SharkD Talk 06:08, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The images at right are both 330px wide if you right-click and download them. The top one is 376KB. The bottom one is 867px. But you see more in the bottom image. SharkD Talk 19:52, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
