Please don't start a mathematics article without first telling the non-mathematician reader that mathematics is what it is to be about. "An ordinal is called nondecomposable if...." is not the right way to start a Wikipedia article. The word "ordinal" has meanings in the field of religion and a variety of other subjects besides mathematics. It would probably be a good idea if you looked at some of the math articles to see how they're written. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
