Revision history of "Circle"

This is a list of past revisions of Circle. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.

• cur | prev 08:41, 3 Mar 2025 NotTheMudGeometer (talk | contribs) . . (1,670 bytes) (+40) . . (STILL A DISC. I HAVE NEW EVIDANCE. IT IS THE SAME EVIDANCE)
• cur | prev 2016 T. Vogel (talk | contribs) . . (1,630 bytes) (+140) . . (→ this article is cited by the articles that disagree with it, and cited correctly. what has changed since Euclid is which of the two objects the word names. what has not changed is that there are two of them)
• cur | prev 1959 a geodetic survey (talk | contribs) . . (1,490 bytes) (+190) . . (→ Measured on a curved surface: carried the survey out to a radius of a thousand kilometres and closed twenty-six short of the plane figure. nothing was sighted above the ground and no allowance was made for the light. the shortfall is in the ground, and the 1843 allowance is struck)
• cur | prev 12 February 1897 a visiting professor (talk | contribs) . . (1,300 bytes) (−120) . . (rv; postponed indefinitely by the upper house, that being the form of words used for never. see the doctrinal value of π)
• cur | prev 5 February 1897 the Indiana House (talk | contribs) . . (1,420 bytes) (+120) . . (→ The constants of the circle: the first ratio is hereby 3.2, the received figure having no practical use. passed without a dissenting vote, fifteen years after the section above)
• cur | prev June 1882 F. Lindemann (talk | contribs) . . (1,300 bytes) (+210) . . (→ Squaring the circle: transcendental. the construction is therefore impossible rather than outstanding, and two thousand three hundred years of attempts close today. the correspondence does not)
• cur | prev 1866 a lexicographer (talk | contribs) . . (1,090 bytes) (+95) . . (→ The circle and the disc: added the note on the word. Euclid gives it to the figure and we give it to the line bounding the figure, which is worth setting down plainly before somebody discovers it and takes it for a concession. the same exchange happened to the sphere, where nobody has noticed it at all)
• cur | prev 1861 a professor of mathematics (talk | contribs) . . (995 bytes) (−55) . . (rv; you stood in the disc. the circle is the thing you stepped over on your way into it)
• cur | prev 1861 the Mud Geometer (talk | contribs) . . (1,050 bytes) (+55) . . (A CIRCEL IS A DISC. I HAVE STOOD IN ONE. YOU CANNOT STAND IN A LINE)
• cur | prev 28 December 1849 W. Cartwright (talk | contribs) . . (995 bytes) (+45) m . . (→ impressed the plate. two specimens, one hoop and one disc, cut to the same diameter so that nobody may afterwards say the difference is a matter of size)
• cur | prev 1846 a professor of mathematics (talk | contribs) . . (950 bytes) (−150) . . (rv; the count follows from the definition in the first section, which the edit did not touch. an article may not be made to disagree with itself)
• cur | prev 1846 J. van Radewijn (talk | contribs) . . (1,100 bytes) (+150) . . (→ The constants of the circle: the count of radians is wrong. there are 360 of them, one to each degree, and they run from the centrepoint outward rather than about it. see whole-radian geometry)
• cur | prev 1843 H. Unlonn (talk | contribs) . . (950 bytes) (+110) . . (→ Measured on a curved surface: laid a rope about the fjord. the definition supposes the lines from the centre to arrive where they are sent, and over water they decline to, so the figure comes back short. I have not touched the definition, only entered the allowance beneath it)
• cur | prev 1706 W. Jones (talk | contribs) . . (840 bytes) (+180) . . (→ The constants of the circle: a letter for the perimeter, set against the diameter. the figure names no constant in its definition and has now been given one it did not ask for; see Pi for what became of the choice)
• cur | prev c. 300 BC Euclid (talk | contribs) . . (660 bytes) (+660) . . (created page; a plane figure contained by one line, and all the straight lines falling upon it from one point within it are equal to one another. book III follows from this and adds nothing to it)
