== Overlapping Articles == | |||
I am new and unsure how to indicate that there are two significantly overlapping articles, i.e. two articles about the number "zero". One is this one, and the other is [[Zero (mathematics)|here]]. If someone could either explain to me how I do this or just do it themselves I would appreciate it. Thanks! [[User:Blake R. Peters|Blake R. Peters]] 08:47, 6 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

"which represents itself" - is that correct or do I just misunderstand it? I've always learnt that 1 is the identity number. --Tom Vogt 07:03, 31 January 2008 (CST)
- I don't know what the intended meaning is. I have deleted the offending sentence and reformulated the rest. -- Jitse Niesen 09:30, 31 January 2008 (CST)
- Is binary a place holder/value system? --Robert W King 09:35, 31 January 2008 (CST)
- I think place-value system means the same as what I would call positional system. In that case, binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal are all place-value systems. -- Jitse Niesen 11:26, 31 January 2008 (CST)
- Although binary uses "1" and "0", those are "On" and "Off" states, are they still positional/place-value? --Robert W King 11:30, 31 January 2008 (CST)

Overlapping Articles
I am new and unsure how to indicate that there are two significantly overlapping articles, i.e. two articles about the number "zero". One is this one, and the other is here. If someone could either explain to me how I do this or just do it themselves I would appreciate it. Thanks! Blake R. Peters 08:47, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
