Why does the English version of Wikipedia need articles on words such as this which are not used often in the English language?? 66.32.142.216 23:28, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
- Well, it could be argued that this should be on Wiktionary instead, but obscure topics need definitions just as much as known topics do; just as people refer to an article they know something about in the hope of finding more detail, they look up a word or topic they are unfamiliar with to learn something new. -- Jim Regan 23:35, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
- the question is probably in the context of a VfD I initiated on a string of longer & less useful numbers. See MediaWiki:VfD-Trigintillion --Tagishsimon
