I have an immense amount of experimentally discovered things I could add to "Squares in a Square" which involve different grid shapes and altogether different shapes such as triangles. So much so that I could very easily create a whole other Wikipedia article on it. I would enjoy doing so, but I thought I would get a second opinion. In addition, although my stuff is definitely true, as I said, I figured out this stuff experimentally, so I have nothing to reference but myself. I know that isn't a very good answer, but I could ''really'' improve the depth of understanding and knowledge of that topic. I hope you will comment.

:You need to find a published source for this material if you want to include it here; see [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] and [[Wikipedia:No original research]]. In addition, if the solution doesn't involve the same sequence of numbers, it may be a bit off-topic for this article, because this article is not about square-in-square type problems, it's about the sequence of numbers. That doesn't mean it can't be mentioned at all (after all, we do mention the problem of rectangles in a square grid) but it means that it would probably be inappropriate to include much detail. —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 23:01, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
::I sort-of expected this answer, but I don't know what to do. People don't care enough about this topic, so no one makes anything about it. I've searched all over the Internet, but I haven't found anything. Although I haven't searched any books, I wouldn't know where to start, and besides, I would be exceptionally surprised if they had anything of value in them. If anyone can find anything, I'll defintely cite it, but as of now, I have nothing. I've thought about creating a formal website so that I have something to source, but I don't know how to do that. This isn't the first time something like this has happened to me before either. I could expand on that, but I'm already taking up too much space. I could add a formula to the "Squares in a square" part to improve it that wouldn't take up too much space and go off topic, but it still wouldn't have a reference. If you ask, I could figure out how to put it on here so you can look it over. That would be only a measely fraction of the unreferenceable knowledge I have on the topic. Also, I was suggesting creating a whole other page on Wikipedia for putting the rest and/or moving "Squares in a square" there, not adding a bunch to this article. I tried putting the suggestion on [[Wikipedia: Articles for creation]] today, but I couldn't get it to show up. I would appreciate help.
