According to the Erdős number project [http://www.oakland.edu/enp/trivia.html] there are however worldwide an estimated number of 504 mathematicians with an Erdős number of 1, and an estimated 87760 with an Erdős number of 5. This gives a ratio of about 1/175 for coauthors vs average mathematicians. This means there are about '''75 times''' as many coauthors of Erdős on Wikipedia, than there are among mathematicians.

Conservapedia in contrast an estimated number of zero coauthors of Erdős among its ranks, while there are lot of very average mathematicians. --[[User:Order|Order]] 16 March 2007, 2:00 (AEST)
