Definition talk:Cardinal Number

Notation
I would like to adopt the notation $S$ with a double bar over it, so as to distinguish it from Definition:Cardinal. How do you make this notation? --Andrew Salmon (talk) 00:45, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Don't know, try googling for it.


 * A google search has revealed nothing. $\bar{\bar S}$, which is what one person recommended, looks horrible.  I'll just stick with the $\operatorname{Card}$ notation. --Andrew Salmon (talk) 06:56, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

How will the merge be made? The definition Definition:Cardinal is a more general definition that specifies some general properties. This definition is specifically for a definition of cardinal numbers as ordinal numbers. Shall we have a specific definition under a subpage (maybe Definition:Cardinal/Cardinal as Ordinal)? --Andrew Salmon (talk) 06:12, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, then don't merge them. But they have to be linked somehow, either by a disambiguation page or by an also see, and an effort needs to be made to explain why these two completely different approaches are confusingly given the same name. As it stands there is considerable cause for confusion. --prime mover (talk) 06:19, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
