Talk:Harmonic Series is Divergent/Proof 3

Yes, the "CircularProof" template is there and makes it look like a mistake. Please leave it. A consistent strategy is to be evolved. Please hold off on this sort of work. --prime mover (talk) 03:21, 5 October 2018 (EDT)


 * I will not edit this page further (I hope that my new version of the notes is an improvement anyway). However, this is a fairly basic result and I would encourage you and other editors to do something about this. Currently there are only 6 pages with the "Circular" template on it and it should not be too much work to resolve these issues (I would hope). Of course, there could be further circular proofs that I am unaware of.


 * Anyway, while expansion of ProofWiki is of course fine, I think at this stage, with the number of proofs being in the five digit numbers already, consolidation is also very important. KarlFrei (talk) 03:40, 5 October 2018 (EDT)


 * Consolidation is under way.


 * Please note that on the other page you did a similar job on, there is already a refactor template invoked on this page which means it is going to be split into more than one page (two results here, see) and the scope of the "circular reasoning" template is already ambiguous. Refactoring is a job that we request be done by experienced personnel only. Source work process flow gets hopelessly compromised otherwise, and a lot of hard work is needed to bring it back into line again. --prime mover (talk) 07:26, 5 October 2018 (EDT)


 * Yes, I saw it. I will stay away from refactoring for the time being (although I have already factored out one proof that I needed separately, as well as introduce new proofs as factors, so I think I could handle it). KarlFrei (talk) 07:35, 5 October 2018 (EDT)
