 * Which "also known as" are you referring to? I can't find it; but if it treats them as synonyms than that comment has to be thought about. --barto (talk) 12:00, 11 July 2017 (EDT)


 * They don't need to commute in internal group direct product either innit? --prime mover (talk) 12:04, 11 July 2017 (EDT)


 * They do: Conditions for Internal Group Direct Product. (They don't need to be abelian; maybe that was what you wanted to say.) --barto (talk) 12:11, 11 July 2017 (EDT)


 * Oh, FTS. --prime mover (talk) 13:37, 11 July 2017 (EDT)
