One, two, three

Where should One, Two, Three, etc. take the reader? Currently we have:

1. One → 1, a number article
2. Two → 2, a number article
3. Three → 3 (disambiguation)
4. Four → 4 (disambiguation)
5. Five → 5 (disambiguation)
6. Six → 6, a number article
7. Seven → 7 (disambiguation)
8. Eight → 8 (disambiguation)
9. Nine → 9 (disambiguation)
10. Ten is a disambiguation page (the rest of One–Twenty are redirects)
11. Eleven → 11, a disambiguation page
12. Twelve → 12, a disambiguation page
13. Thirteen → 13, a disambiguation page
14. Fourteen → 14, a disambiguation page
15. Fifteen → 15, a disambiguation page
16. Sixteen → 16, a disambiguation page
17. Seventeen → 17, a disambiguation page
18. Eighteen → 18, a disambiguation page (but misspelling Eightteen → 18 (number))
19. Nineteen → 19, a disambiguation page
20. Twenty → 20, a disambiguation page

Should these be more consistent, or are they deliberately different? Note that 1–10 are number articles and 11–99 are dabs. Certes (talk) 16:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Following and preceding

The lead of 22 (number) reads 22 (twenty-two) is the natural number following 21 and preceding 23. Other number articles are similar. Is this sentence useful: do we really have readers who already understood what 21 and 23 are but need 22 defined in terms of them? Frankly it looks a little silly to me, and I'd welcome suggestions for improvement. Certes (talk) 09:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

For articles that are well developed, I think we can start generating leads that reflect the information within the article. At least with one point that is mathematical, and one that is otherwise, maybe simpler "n feet in x" or even more in depth, if cultural associations allow it. That way there is a more natural reflection of what information is being relayed. Radlrb (talk) 06:58, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Requesting a Bulk Move

I started moving the 1,000 (number) 2,000 (number) 3,000 (number) etc. articles to 1,000-1,999 (numbers) 2,000-2,999 (numbers) 3,000-3,999 (numbers) etc. I realized however theres a lot of articles have this issue. Examples, outside of the thousands which I have taken care of include:

The hundreds beginning at 300

The tens of thousands

100,000

1 million

10 million

100 million

1 billion

Considering that these total 32 articles, I felt I should leave a message here Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 16:38, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

It is usual to discuss such changes in advance, especially when titles follow a longstanding pattern. The page moves have been reverted and a discussion started at Talk:300 (number)#Requested move 14 April 2024. Certes (talk) 18:21, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Citing the aliquot sum of a specific number

Hello, I wish to cite the aliquot sum of 69 (number) (see the cn tag on the article). I could not find anything for this on gbooks or OEIS. Anyone know how I could cite this? Would be greatly appreciated, thanks, ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 23:44, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Nvm—I did in fact find it on OEIS! ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 19:30, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
