Ennea- vs. nona-

In Greek numerical prefixes, the bottom of the article says that nona-, although technically Latin, it commonly used in a sequence that is normally Greek. Can anyone answer why?? 66.32.255.227 02:40, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

See by yourself how much this usage is widespread.

Staying on topic

"The Christian Bible, a source of faith and guidance for 2.1 billion people around the world, is divided into nine subsections."

In the interests of keeping the facts about the number nine on-topic, I have changed this to:

"The Christian Bible is divided into nine subsections."

Fair enough. Though maybe it wouldn't hurt to list what these subsections are. Anton Mravcek 20:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

The article now states that the New Testament is divided into nine subsections. However, the New Testament article makes no mention of these divisions. Are these nine subsections factually accurate? If so, why is the fact important enough to justify mention in the number 9 article but not the New Testament article? I would like to remove this unless someone can provide more substantiation.

You can either remove it or stick in a "citation needed" tag. I'd remove it and put in the edit summary that I want someone to be able to list what these sections are before putting it back in the article. Anton Mravcek 22:44, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Merging of the Disambiguation page

• Keep as is - I feel that a disambiguation page is necessary. --Riley 21:56, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I've taken the liberty of removing the Merge template. --DryaUnda 10:54, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

The article begins with that sentence, is it a joke ? Star trek fans ? Please help. -- DLL ^{.. T} 20:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Handwriting differences

I've noticed a random transatlantic difference: Americans write their nines almost exactly like an upside-down (possibly reversed, I'm not sure where the stroke starts) <6>, wheras Britons write it like a flipped <b>. Surely the British version is better because it's less susceptible to confusion with <g> or <0>? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 79.75.247.63 (talk) 11:02, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

The etymology of number 9 on the article is false. It's origin is Assyrian. Please, rotate the 9th letter of the Assyrian (Syriac) letter and you'll see something interesting appearing.Sarh is a dumbutt

Football shirt nonsense

Since *when* did Ronaldo make the no. 9 shirt famous in football - this suggests nobody associated the no.9 shirt the main striker before him - what a lot of tosh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.39.84 (talk) 19:59, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

9 physiology

The article stated that a human pregnancy lasts for nine months, but this isn't entirely true. It is actually forty weeks, which is closer to ten months. I feel that the section on physiology should reflect this.
