A spigot algorithm is a particular type of algorithm used to compute the value of a mathematical constant such as π or e, which can generate a stream of output digits without needing to reuse them. The name derives from the usage of "spigot" in some varieties of English to mean a tap or valve controlling the flow of a liquid.

Interest in such algorithms was spurred in the early days of computational mathematics by extreme constraints on memory, and an algorithm for calculating the digits of e appears in a paper by Sale, 1968. The name "Spigot algorithm" appears to have been coined by Stanley Rabinowitz and Stan Wagon, whose algorithm for calculating the digits of π is sometimes referred to as "the spigot algorithm for π".

The spigot algorithm of Rabinowitz and Wagon is bounded, in the sense that the number of required digits must be specified in advance. Jeremy Gibbons (2004) uses the term "streaming algorithm" to mean one which can be run indefinitely, without a prior bound. A further refinement is an algorithm which can compute a single arbitrary digit, without first computing the preceding digits: an example is the Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula, a digit extraction algorithm for π which produces hexadecimal digits.

Koya-san

(Macrons dropped for convenience)

This article really is hilariously confused. We are told (and this is exactly what the WP:ja article says) that the subject is a range of mountains, which is presumably true. In this case to call anything "Mount Koya" is a mistranslation (however "official" it might be).

In fact there is some sort of Buddhist usage of the -san suffix to refer to the Buddhist location (temples and whatever)

Cyrillic stuff

Or really, the Wiktionary template

Times New Roman	привет! вот достопримечательность	привет! вот достопримечательность
Default	привет! вот достопримечательность	привет! вот достопримечательность

Thanks for responding. Initially I was hoping to try myself to make a non-italic version to test, but simply couldn't find how to get (read) access to the source of the template. (Would be helpful to know anyway.)

Yes, basically, your suggestion would solve the first problem, of inapropriate sloping. Personally I find chucking in flagwords ("ITALICS" etc) a bit dubious engineeringwise; I was thinking of a single parameter for the whole call. You could argue that it would be better in any case to avoid a mixture of sloped and nonsloped entries in the list in a single "Wiktionary" box.

Stepping back and thinking bigger... why not have a language parameter? Then anything non-roman could automatically be nonsloped; and there's more - Wiktionary entries are a collection of all the words in all languages which happen to be written with the same sequence of letters. A language parameter could go to the correct entry as well.

The other (bigger) problem is the underline (for links). I looked at other language entries for beer: ビール and 啤酒 of course don't use it, and checked пиво, which doesn't either, then I spotted that actually neither do birra or øl. Perhaps en:WP is out on a limb; I don't see any need for it, but change on that scale doesn't bear thinking about.

... sloping does not really work except for the Latin script. Tags, HTML syntax, and so on all make the same confusion: they think that "italics" means "slope". But it doesn't. More significantly, whereas sloping text in English looks like emphasis, sloping text in say Chinese just looks funny, and never has the "quotation" means that italics do.

Half-kilo livre

From UKMA.org.uk

Why are we more rigorous than the French who permit their traders, as any visit to a French market will show, to continue to use the old livre?

A demi-canard. The livre is not the old unit of measurement (equivalent to 0.4895 of a kilo) but modern French slang for half a kilo, on the metric scales. Perhaps we should do this ourselves and call half a kilo a pound. There’s nothing to stop us.

Classic Radlrb writing style (removed from 55 (number))

The prime indices in the prime factorization of $55=5\times 11$ are the respectively the third and fifth, where the first two Fermat primes of the form $2^{2^{n}}+1$ are $3$ and $5$<ref name="FermP">[Cite OEIS] (11 is also the third super-prime). Where 17 — the aliquot part of 55 — is the third Fermat prime, the fifty-fifth prime number 257[Cite OEIS] is the fourth such prime number.[ref name="FermP"] The base-ten digit representation of the latter satisfies a subtractive concatenation of $7-2=5$, wherein 77 is the fifty-fifth composite number.[Cite OEIS] [efn|1=77 is the twenty-second discrete (square-free) semiprime, and 55 is the fifteenth, where 15 is equivalent to the product of 3 × 5, and as such the fourth discrete semiprime.] In decimal representation, the fifth and largest known Fermat prime is 65537,[ref name="FermP"] which contains a "55" string inside (and where as a number, 637 is the eleventh non-trivial decagonal number).[Cite OEIS]
