tetrasexagesimal
Would it be possible to upload to Wikiversity or email me the spreadsheet you used to create the tetrasexagesimal (base-64) numbers? Or add a discussion on the steps you used to generate the numbers to " ?" Nicole Sharp (discuss • contribs) 02:04, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Also, there are a number of different character encodings possible for bases 64 and higher. I personally have been using &alpha; and &beta; in the hopes of extending to base 128 as something like: "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzαβγδεζηθικλμνξπρστυφχψωΓΔΘΛΞΠΣΦΨΩбвгджзилмнптцчшщъьэюяБДЖЗИЛУЦЧШЩЪЬЭЮЯ." However, the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) uses a better syntax of "000,000,000;000,000,000" for "000.000" using e.g. "127;" for the 127th numeral of base 128 instead of needing new characters for new numerals. This allows arbitrarily high number bases, beyond even the thousands of possible characters available from Unicode. Nicole Sharp (discuss • contribs) 02:04, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Prime Numbers
What is the educational purpose of the various prime number lists you have recently contributed? -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 12:41, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I wanted to provide lists so people do not have to think about prime numbers. PokestarFan (discuss • contribs) 12:50, 5 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Please see What Wikiversity is not. Lists are not learning resources, and don't add value by themselves. The Wikimedia place for lists is Wikipedia. The Wikimedia place for files is Wikimedia Commons. Please stop adding these pages.
 * Instead, add value by extending the existing Prime numbers project to describe how users can find pages with prime numbers, how they can generate their own prime numbers, how prime numbers may be used for various tasks (random number generators, cryptography), etc. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 13:01, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
