Example

[edit]

Must think of a better example. The metre is wrong on the current one -- Tarquin

Is it better after taking out the vandalism from a couple months ago? --Brion
Much. I obviously didn't read that closely... it's pre-breakfast in my time zone :-) -- Tarquin

Quotations

[edit]

Those two references about the name, currently reference 1 and 2, are, judging by references on the web, from the fascicle containing the L, 1898, from the Oxford Dictionary 1928 edition. What is it that has to be referenced about Sumer is icumen in, currently the third reference, which has its own page? Mysha

Algebra

[edit]

The successive algebraic simplifications of the mathematical limerick is rather unencyclopedic, isn't it? The limerick stands well on it's own, and explicitly performing the calculations seems like WP:OR. —St.Nerol (talk, contribs) 13:14, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
