Safe Primes, in RSA


Ok, let's try to discuss here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:RSA_(cryptosystem)#Safe_Primes,_in_RSA_Key_Generation
No "reliable sources" are needed here. Here you just need to think with your own head. This is math.
In any case, I do not owe you anything, and I do not demand anything from you.

Coordinate Systems and Analytic Geometry

Al-Kwarizmi



Agreed that this shouldn't be necessary this early, but we get an unceasing parade of people who read only the first sentence, and immediately conclude either stupidity or malice in the article. I would prefer to provide a handle indicating the absence of Persian/Arabic/Uzbek/Turkic is neither unintentional nor malicious. <b style="color:green">Tarl N.</b> (<span style="color:teal">discuss</span>) 22:41, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

:Your intent is valuable, but requires a discussion on the talk page of the article, and a consensus for being adopted. In any case I doubt that this will refrain some people of trying to introduce a nationalistic bias in the article D.Lazard (talk) 10:31, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Reverted edit on similar triangles



Hello, I wanted to ask why you reverted my edit of adding a diagram of similar triangles. I understand you are probably correct as you have a better understanding of math and geometry, I just want to know where I got it wrong (so I won't get it wrong next time!). I thought all all homothetic triangles are similar? And even if it's not homothetic, then the formulas should still apply to similar triangles, or is that wrong? Thank you in advance.

:This is explained by my edit summary:{{tqq| Misleading figure, as the triangles are homothetic; properties and formulas do not belong to the image}}. D.Lazard (talk) 11:24, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
