I find myself unable to improve the poorly written passage because I don't know enough about the subject. Would an expert kindly explain the following to me, and/or make an adjustment to the article?: "Although his name is popularly attached to the conjecture, it does not seem that he believed the converse to be true. Rather, this suggestion was made by a number of different authors in the 1950s and 1960s; for example a statement attributed to M. Day from 1957." Which "suggestion"--that von Neumann's name be attached to the conjecture, or that von Neumann believed the conjecture's converse to be true? The clause following the semicolon does not possess both a subject and a verb and therefore cannot stand apart from the previous separated by a semicolon. (One solution may be to add a verb and quote a relevant passage from M. Day.) Robert K S ( talk) 22:23, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Standard Wikipedia behaviour is to place references inline, that is, as close as practical to the point they support. This article is already informative, but would be even better if the references it gives were moved into the body of the text in the standard way.
Supposing I can make time to do so, I will make these changes. However, if at least two weeks have gone by since I posted this note, don't let my good intentions stop you from doing it anyway! yoyo ( talk) 05:57, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
