Out of interest: how far do you plan to go creating entries for English cardinal numbers, like one hundred and forty? I mean, there's a point where this effort becomes pointless. Personally I think you should stop long before one million six hundred thousand and forty six. As a minimum requirement, any number added in text must be attestable in text format. The other thing is that they are all SOP (sum of its parts) which makes adding them more or less unnecessary. You might also want to check what WT:CFI has to say about inclusion criteria.

Personally, I don't share this opinion. I think you are doing a good job, and should continue. --Turnedlessef (talk) 10:35, 30 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
Please note it's spelled forty, not fourty! Equinox 15:20, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Sum of parts number words

[edit]

You are creating a large series of sum of parts number words, such as two hundred and two. I request that you stop until WT:RFD#one hundred and twelve, one hundred and eleven is sorted out. Sum of parts entries fail WT:CFI: "This in turn leads to the somewhat more formal guideline of including a term if it is attested and idiomatic" and "An expression is idiomatic if its full meaning cannot be easily derived from the meaning of its separate components. Non-idiomatic expressions are called sum-of-parts (SOP)." --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:25, 16 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
