:Your change appears to be correct. [[User:JRSpriggs|JRSpriggs]] ([[User talk:JRSpriggs#top|talk]]) 03:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks, but now I've made another change,. Can you check that too?[[User:Richard L. Peterson|Rich]] ([[User talk:Richard L. Peterson|talk]]) 13:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
:::Please provide a link there to a [[WP:RELIABLE]] source. Thanks. [[User:JRSpriggs|JRSpriggs]] ([[User talk:JRSpriggs#top|talk]]) 16:28, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
::::I have no idea what a reliable source for most questions in set theory would be, especially this one. Also, according to Ayn Rand, I have no obligation to do so even if I were qualified.[[User:Richard L. Peterson|Rich]] ([[User talk:Richard L. Peterson|talk]]) 12:05, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
 
:::::You have no obligation to follow the rules of Wikipedia, but if you fail to do so then they are more likely to revert your edits or possibly even ban you from editing. [[User:JRSpriggs|JRSpriggs]] ([[User talk:JRSpriggs#top|talk]]) 15:00, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
::::::That's bogus..I edited the article because of some very ambiguous and confusing statements, that have been there for years, uncited, possibly due to translation from another wikipedia, idk. There's no way I could know for sure about the truth, I just edited it say what was most likely the intent. You've tried to get me find sources for something that was written (but unclear) by someone else and been there for a long time, and I'm obviously unqualified to find or understand the references. That's manipulative, and unworthy of John Galt.[[User:Richard L. Peterson|Rich]] ([[User talk:Richard L. Peterson|talk]]) 13:33, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
 
I am not trying to manipulate you. If anything, it is the other way around. I have no more knowledge of this particular issue than you do; and I no longer have access to the library that used to support my research. You are the one who is hitting me over the head with references to Ayn Rand and John Galt to try to make me do what I cannot do.

:I took what you were saying in the wrong way sorry. I didn't realize this wasn't something you were currently expert in. Neither of us can do citations on it , but whether it's correct now or not, it's my best guess as to what was meant. I also asked another set theory person, so we'll see. Anyway neither of us are able to provide citations, I hope I didn't imply I wanted you to find citations, I'd be content for correctness and clarity in the article, for now. Anyway , my forst reference to Ayn Rand was meant lightheartedly, I'm sorry I got huffy with my John Galt comparison.Peace.[[User:Richard L. Peterson|Rich]] ([[User talk:Richard L.
