For example, there was a recommendation in Category:Oscillators_with_rotor_Pole_5 that all Pole_N categories from 5 to 15 should be deleted, since they weren't used for anything except the relevant barber poles. However, when I tried removing Category:Oscillators_with_rotor_Pole_5, I ended up with a redlink, because of the '''|rotor = Pole 5'' entry in [[Pentapole]].
It doesn't necessarily seem like a step forward to remove all of the '''|rotor = Pole N'' entries, though maybe that is a good idea. I'd certainly be in favor of fixing the whole problem by combining all of the blahblahpole articles into a single article.

Statement 1 cannot be true. If it were true, it would contradict itself. Thus, statement 1 is false, and at least one of 0, 2, 3, 4 must be true.
Now let us look at statement 3. Assume it is true. Then, to satisfy it, one or both of statements 0 and 2 are false. If both 0 and 2 are false, the number of false statements must be 0 or 1, which is a contradiction. Thus, exactly 1 of these two statements are true, and statement 3 is true.
We know now that one of statements 0, 2 is true, and statement 3 is also true. Thus, statement 4 is true, making the number of true statements 3.
Now, we can see easily that statement 2 is false, and statement 0 is thus true.

It is at a constant temperature of 293.1K, and approximately sixty percent of the furnishings are composed of pure single-crystal gadolinium, which has its Curie point slightly above this temperature. All furniture obeys normal vertical gravity, but the non-uniform magnetic field pervading the floor causes the gadolinium furniture to be suspended in midair (unless a sufficiently large heat source, such as several people, enter the room, at which point the furniture will return to the floor until the heat source leaves). The floor seems to have a detectable electroweak anapole moment arising from an unknown source, although there are no practical consequences to this. Despite the gravity abnormalities, several companies have set up operations in this floor, including Microsoft, Soylent, Aperture Science, Kalrathas Starlines, and the Ytterbium Store, which sells several forms of pure ytterbium, as well as novelty items (with little to no actual ytterbium content) such as ytterbium-themed t-shirts and mugs, in a storefront located in room ᛟ3Θ'ᛟ-A. There are also several parallel computing units of unknown origin in rooms ᛟ220 through ᛟ236, appearing to be in use for running apgsearch and mining Dogecoin. Electrical outlets on this floor are of an unusual six-prong form (hot, neutral, ground, and what appear to be red, green, and blue color-conductive elements); the normal elements are compatible with US-standard plugs, but apart from the aforementioned parallel computing units, which utilize the additional holes in the outlets, chromotechnology (technology using the strong nuclear force for computational purposes) is unknown.

Wikipedia wrote:In combinatorial game theory, an impartial game is a game in which the allowable moves depend only on the position and not on which of the two players is currently moving, and where the payoffs are symmetric. In other words, the only difference between player 1 and player 2 is that player 1 goes first.

However, R-bees get in the way, making more traffic and duplicating the glider into 4 gliders.
