I see this lead sentence dubious because circle is probably of two elements: round (kružnica) and surface (both define circle at same time). It contains infinite number of points. Radius would be distance from circle's round to center. -- 5.43.73.144 ( talk) 20:12, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
Maybe it should be said in the article that a circle is a special case of a torus. !ZanzibarWikiwoowiiBarfuttress ( talk) 04:44, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
The second sentence of this article currently says:
Equivalently, it is the curve traced out by a point that moves in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant.
This doesn't really work as a definition of a circle. A point can move in a plane in such a way that its distance from a given point remains constant, but not trace out a circle: it might just trace out a circular arc.
This sentence has no cited source. There might be a way to rework this sentence to make it correct, but I'm inclined to just delete it. Thoughts? — Bkell ( talk) 01:43, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
A Circle have infinite sides.Adding this topic expand our perspective. Yuthfghds ( talk) 05:34, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
You know that circle has 0 or Infitite Sides.
Right?

In the first paragraph of this article, it states: "This article is about circles in Euclidean geometry, and, in particular, the Euclidean plane, except where otherwise noted."
It feels really weird to include a meta statement about the article in the article. Disclaimers like this would typically go in the small area below the title of the page. I'm not incredibly familiar with mathematics related pages on Wikipedia, and if this is a common thing, then my bad. It just seems odd is all I'm saying.

Would it not be better to move discussion of regions (e.g. segment, sector) to the article on discs? 41.133.90.18 ( talk) 15:14, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
