[edit] Mobius strip
Per your (now deleted) comment on the talk page, there are indeed left and right handed Mobius strips. In fact, if you take the standard minimal crossing diagrams of the left and right handed trefoils, the checkerboard coloring gives the left and right handed Mobius strips. The rh and lh trefoils are different by a classical result of Dehn.
BTW, it's frowned upon by many people to remove your comment like that, even if you wish to retract them. You can either add another comment retracting it or use the strike tag like this to cross out your response. The reason is that the talk page is to encourage discussion and removing comments (even if they are mistaken) tends to stifle discussion. For example, consider that my first paragraph might be useful for future contributors reading the page.
Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia! You may find these page useful: Wikipedia:Pages_needing_attention/Mathematics and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mathematics/Current_activity. Don't hesitate to ask me for help if you need it. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 13:06, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation of Asimov
Hi, I reverted your edit to Isaac Asimov. If you feel /ˈæzɪˌmɔf/ is off the mark, please tell us why you think so, at Talk:Isaac Asimov#IPA. Thank you. :) --Kjoonlee 16:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Millihelen
It sounds plausible that Isaac Asimov coined "millihelen", but where is the evidence/documentation? Even finding an early use in his writing would be a good start. The earliest use in Google Books is 1970 (possibly; full text is not available); one book mentions Denis Norden as having coined it, but that book was published in 2003 and gives no source.... --Macrakis 04:53, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
