I started a page for the number 9. Please feel free to make any changes you want. And don't feel like my feelings will be hurt if you delete anything. It's really just a template until anybody actually comes up with anything good.--E rowe 18:32, 28 January 2007 (EST)

  • Looks good so far. Nice job! I've never really given the number much thought, but I'll bet there are a bunch more examples.
  • I want to format the two points that follow the suggestion that the world is at the end of an era so that they are read as supporting points for that. Is that done clearly enough? It looks like somebody (Heroe?) edited them back out to main points.--E rowe 21:18, 28 January 2007 (EST)
    • Yes, it's done clearly enough in my opinion.

      This article is cool for theories, but it really needs to be cleaned up so it's not just a dumping ground for every theory about the number. I'd like to go back to Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite's original quotes in their articles: "The number 9 is pretty important in the grand scheme of things." "We did lots of research ... some of which came from Hindu and Indian mythology. ... We've said the number 9 is important." I think we need to mention just the occurances of 9 in the show (there aren't really too many right now, eh?), and maybe a mention of the number's significance in Hindu and Indian mythology. Everything else is fluff and could probably be cut. Just my opinion. :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:23, 28 January 2007 (EST)

8th Wonder

I don't get this line about the Taj Mahal. First, the 7 wonders of the world is a list from Herodotus. It isn't for some expert to just add an 8th wonder. And as for magnificent things that have been given that label, there are TONS of them. Is there any reason the Taj Mahal should be viewed as THE 8th wonder so that the heroes would then be the 9th? What am I missing?--E rowe 23:23, 28 January 2007 (EST)

A lot of people believe it is the 8th wonder, for whatever reason that may be. The person who wrote it in the article space may have been quoting the interview that spawned the "9 theory" (read this), or may have actually been thinking of a bona fide source. It's easy to find articles on the subject (see here), and even Wikipedia plays with the idea (read this and this). Hope that helps! :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:30, 28 January 2007 (EST)
The Taj Mahal is the most prevalent of the "8th Wonder"s of the world (it's even mentioned in some textbooks), so that's why I pointed to that one as the (semi-)real thing. You can read more about the Wonders in the real Wikipedia. - --Don O. Nova 23:35, 28 January 2007 (EST)
Well the concept of the 7 wonders isn't my beef. And if the only references to the Taj Mahal being the 8th wonder are places about the Taj Mahal, then it doesn't have any more of a claim than any of the other 8th wonders. Do I really need to pull up a hunder links to pages about King Kong that call him the 8th wonder? Or Ander the Giant? Or compound interest? As for the comment on the interview, it wasn't the writer who called Taj Mahal the 8th wonder, it was the interviewer.
