::Current convention for Wikipedia articles on integer sequences is to name them ''xxx number'' or ''xxx sequence'' but never ''xxx numbers'' - see [[:Category:Integer sequences]] for many examples. This follows [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]], which says "In general only create page titles that are in the singular, unless that noun is always in a plural form in English (such as scissors or trousers)".

::: Thank you for pointing that out, Gandolf61. In that case, I suggest that it be renamed to "Fibonacci sequence". Now that I think about it, of course "Fibonacci numbers" is going to have more results - it includes all pages that contain "Fibonacci number" as well!

== Why two separate "[[Pythagorean triple]]" sections? ==
"[[Pythagorean triple|Pythagorean triples]] of Fibonacci numbers" is the subject of two separate sections of this article:
* "[[Fibonacci numbers#Right triangles|Right triangles]]," and
* "[[Fibonacci numbers#Pythagorean triples|Pythagorean triples]]"
I'm not sure what might be the most parsimonious/harmonious way to do it, but wouldn't it be best to somehow merge these sections?<br />

== Bees - Got it backwards I think ==
Males only come from mated bees (how can a female introduce a male chromosome?) The logic in how it relates to the Fibonacci sequence is still the same, but I think male and female were switched in the logic. I have changed it, and if you find I am wrong (with references of course) feel free to undo my switch. I only found [[Honey_bee#Life_cycle|this link]] as a reference for now, maybe will come back later with more. --[[User:BillyNair|Billy Nair]] ([[User talk:BillyNair|talk]]) 16:39, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
:I am pretty sure the same is with chickens, unfertalized eggs will be female, and only fertalized eggs have the chance to be male, I don't know if it is always male, but need a male to get a male. --[[User:BillyNair|Billy Nair]] ([[User talk:BillyNair|talk]]) 16:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
::Sorry, but the article was right - male bees, also known as drones, develop from unfertilised eggs. See our [[drone (bee)]] article, which explains how the genetics works. I have changed the article back to how it was. [[User:Gandalf61|Gandalf61]] ([[User talk:Gandalf61|talk]]) 17:35, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
:: Birds, I believe, have a system analogous to the XY of mammals but the other way around: a bird with matching chromosomes is male, one with differing sex chromosomes is female; but a haploid (unfertilized) egg won't develop at all. —[[User:Tamfang|Tamfang]] ([[User talk:Tamfang|talk]]) 22:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
