Safe Primes, in RSA

Ok, let's try to discuss here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:RSA_(cryptosystem)#Safe_Primes,_in_RSA_Key_Generation No "reliable sources" are needed here. Here you just need to think with your own head. This is math. In any case, I do not owe you anything, and I do not demand anything from you.

Proposition

Per this edit, note that propositional formula (and propositional logic, sentence) frequently cite proposition. Tule-hog (talk) 03:24, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

In mathematical logic, the term seems no more in use, except for introductory presentation. The reason is probably its ambiguity. Otherwise, logic is generally considered as a part of philosophy. Nevertheless, I have replaced "philosophy" with "philosophy and logic" in the hatnote. D.Lazard (talk) 09:17, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

TWINKLE usage

After rereading the Twinkle instructions, I think this is pertinent - per WP:TWINKLEABUSE "Undo/revert is appropriate in cases where the contribution is arguably "wrong" (consider moving it to the Talk page), or is unreasonably difficult to fix (e.g. incomprehensible, and the author is unresponsive), or is actually harmful to the article (such as vandalism). ". Widefox; talk 20:51, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Your edit of the first line in Zero (disambiguation) was 'arguably "wrong"', and, sorry, I misread some of your other changes. In any case, this is not a good practice to modify many sections in a single edit. This makes time consuming the task of verifying the changes, especially when the edit summary is as vague as "cleaning up accordingly to the MoS for this sort of page". D.Lazard (talk) 22:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure my point is clear: 1. that "wrong" argument has no weight without a reason (typically say against the MOS with dabs) 2. you may want to know that I'm a member of the dab project doing cleanups all the time so your advice for editing dabs seems curious - this is, for your info, typical dab cleanup work - have a look at my (or other dab editors) edit history for how little it gets reverted 3. and I don't see anything about MOSDAB in your argument. If it's right per MOSDAB - which I've double checked - then see 1. Widefox; talk 00:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

To be clear: 1. WP:BRD applies also to dab pages 2. you may want to know that I am an active member of the WikiProject Mathematics since almost 25 years and more than 33,000 edits with 1.1% reverted, and I routinely use Twinkle for reverting vandalism and disruptive editing 3. MOSDAB has no preeminence over other rules, guidelines and policies of WP. 4. MOSDAB has to do with the style of topic descriptions, not about the content of these descriptions.

I apologize again for having reverted the cleanup part of your edit, but I was misled by your first changes that are not supported by MOSDAB, and by my misunderstanding (at first reading) of other of your changes. Indeed the first change was a change of the content of the description of the primary topic, and the change of the TOC template seemed unhelpful per WP:NOTBROKEN and MOS:VAR.
