Axel added "an investigation of the nature of axioms in geometry: are they necessarily true, are they arbitrary assumptions, are they definitions?"
Well this is part of the flawed work I am talking about. I think these questions had been answered several years prior to his writing, and he reached some incorrect conclusions.
"are they necessarily true" - yes, by definition all axioms are true, I mean that is simply what they *are*
"are they arbitrary assumptions" - we know this to be true as well.
"a variant of Cantor's diagonal argument."
No, I don't think this is correct. The diagnoal arguement was on the nature of infinite numbers, the Richard paradox was basically a restatement of the old Epimenides argument on self-negating recursion.
Richard used Cantor's diagonal argument. The failure of his argument is due to the change of language. A very well written article.

I would argue that 111777 is nameable in 13 syllables: "three times nineteen times thirty-seven times fifty-three".
This article is of highest quality, in particular the paradoxon is given here in its original formulation due to Jules Richard, contrary to the paradox given in the article Richard's paradox. Further all known different versions are sampled here.
It seems however, that two vandals who are already actice in German Wikipedia have contacted each other to conspire to destroy this article. You can find the conspiracy here:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer_Diskussion:Mathemaduenn
or here:
Konntest Du auch mal schauen, ob er bei Jules Richard bzw. Potentielle und aktuale Unendlichkeit wieder rumfurwerkt und gegebenenfalls reverten. So sieht es nach Kleinkrieg zwischen ihm und mir aus.
Was denkst Du? Haldir 19:12, 16. Jul. 2007 (CEST)
Na das hat sich ja getroffen.?;-) Jules Richard war ohnehin noch auf meiner Beobachtungsliste. Potentielle und aktuale Unendlichkeit hab ich mal mit aufgenommen. --Mathemaduenn 19:18, 16. Jul. 2007 (CEST)
Danke! Haldir 20:52, 16. Jul. 2007 (CEST)
For those who speak german maybe also
this
should be interesting. It's not really clear if the article "Richard's paradox" is wrong or your version and it's also not clear who is the vandal here.

Read the original by Jules Richard. Then you will know which version is wrong and who is the vandal - here and in the German Wiki.

- For this article it's enough to have a short version of the paradox. If the article about the paradox is wrong, it should be corrected. --

This should be an article about Jules Richard not about the paradox. The paradox(including versions and reactions) should be explained in
Richard's paradox

- The present article about the paradox is wrong. Better have the correct material in the article about Jules Richard than nowhere. Further all that is interesting about Jules Richard is his paradox. I propose the article Richards paradox should be eliminated and a link put to this article. But not being a vandal ...
- If the article is wrong it should be corrected.
Talk:Richard's paradox
is the right place therefor. --

- Correct it, if you feel able to do it and have enough time. Unless it is as informative as the paradox section here we will not agree to your vandalism. Why are you always deleting only without adding something valuable by yourself?
- If it's really wrong you can simply replace it by your version, but it doesn't make sense to have different articles with different versions. --

- I am not the author of that article. I only appreciate having a correct one.
I think the articles about Richard and his paradox should be separated (a mathematician is not the same as his mathematics): A short article about Richard and a link to the article about the paradox. I also think the article about the paradox is poorly written and that the more formal and complete treatment in this article should be moved to that article and replace it. If no one objects I will do this in a couple of days.

Basically I interchanged the info in the articles about Richard and the paradox. The description of the paradox in the article about Richard was much the better than the description previously given in the article about the paradox. I didn´t modify the text at all, just swapt the articles.

- You did not do a careful job, with
Richard's paradox
being categorized as a mathematician at the bottom, and you also did not handle the interwiki links properly. Can you try again, please, with more care (e.g., reading the whole text after the change). Thanks.

i've taken the liberty to delete the entire section called "solutions to Richard's paradox"
It's a fairly substantial edit, however, i think it's justified.
First, i am almost 100% sure that it's original research. I've read just about every paper with the phrase "Richard's paradox" in jstor and i haven't came across anything remotely like it.
and secondly, and more importantly, it basically says: let's ignore the paradox because it screws up our language... which really doesn't offer anything... that's not a solution...

Wolfgang Muckenheim (WM) abuses Wikipedia (and other sites like PlanetMath) to spread his mistaken views on set theory and reference his essentially self-published book. Any mathematician in doubt about his credibility need only have a look at what he uploaded to the arxiv.
I suggest removal of the reference.
