I have also added a "Notes" section, and I have added references to the current "References" section.

I highly recommend reading Cantor's original article, which is at: [http://gdz.sub.uni-goettingen.de/no_cache/dms/load/img/?IDDOC=266194 "Über eine Eigenschaft des Ingebriffes aller reelen algebraischen Zahlen"]. A French translation (which was reviewed and corrected by Cantor) is at: [http://www.springerlink.com/content/37030699752l2573/fulltext.pdf "Sur une propriété du système de tous les nombres algébriques réels"]. Unfortunately, I have not found an English translation on-line. However, an English translation is in: Volume 2 of Ewald's ''From Immanuel Kant to David Hilbert: A Source Book in the Foundations of Mathematics'' ({{ISBN |9780198532712}}).

Most of the material I added to this Wikipedia article comes from Cantor's article, Cantor's correspondence, Dauben's biography of Cantor ({{ISBN |0674348710}}), and the article [http://mathdl.maa.org/mathDL/22/?pa=content&sa=viewDocument&nodeId=2907 "Georg Cantor and Transcendental Numbers"].

Finally, I wish to thank all the people who have worked on this Wikipedia article. Without the excellent structuring of your article and the topics you chose to cover, I suspect that I would not have written anything. (This is the first time I've written for Wikipedia.) It's much easier to add and revise rather than develop from scratch. [[User:RJGray|RJGray]] ([[User talk:RJGray|talk]]) 23:30, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
