Personal life section contains info about education[edit]

It's already covered in the Education section, so no need to reiterate it. Especially given that it doesn't provide context for anything. EditorPerson53 (talk) 04:47, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can we get a better photo?[edit]

The current photo is blurry and low quality. It would be nice to get a portrait, if possible. 2601:547:501:8F90:D9D:D2D3:48A0:85FB (talk) 21:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

National pedigree vs linguistic pedigree[edit]

QUOTE: George Bernard Shaw, the Irish writer. END OF QUOTE.

George Bernard Shaw was known as a British writer in my younger days. Did any of the creepy spontaneous geniuses who abound in Wikipedia pages find that information was wrong? Inserting misinforamtion onine seems to be a pastime for creeps. 117.223.88.242 (talk) 10:01, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Solved unsolved mathematical problems[edit]

The article should state what the two unsolved problems solved by Dantzig are, otherwise it sounds like urban legend. 166.48.16.200 (talk) 01:25, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
