250

250 years are mentioned. Serious work on the Goldbach problem only started more recently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.105.72 (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

True. Genuine progress was first made by Hardy and Littlewood, a little under 100 years ago. Edit if you wish. Garald (talk) 03:18, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi -

Can someone remove the now unsourced statement on Giving What We Can? I doubt it belongs here. Garald (talk) 23:01, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PS. Obviously my concerns are (a) privacy, (b) proper emphasis (the statement certainly does not belong in the lede of a brief biographical article), (c) (least important for me, but possibly most important for Wikipedia) following policy (not making statements supported only by primary sources). I see now that there is some anti-GWWC, anti-consequentialist/anti-utilitarian talk in the media. I am not trying to avoid that at all - in fact I would be glad to support GWWC, Effective Altruism, etc., even more publicly. It is simply that (a)-(c) are valid.
