This is probably a stupid question, but I'm confused by the four generations of priests in the Venn family. Are you supposed to take a vow of celibacy when you are a priest? Or is there some version of Evangelical Christian priest which is different from the Catholic priests? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 148.78.243.122 (talk) 16:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC).Reply
Also, it was compulsory - up until the late 19th century - for teaching staff at British universities to be ordained. So every member of an academically minded family was likely to be a priest as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.55.52 (talk) 22:28, 14 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hey! can some one clear up which Venn is which? Osfan1011 00:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
I just now deleted the newly-added, unreferenced material about John Venn and a BBC survey. If it's a legitimate item regarding Venn, then it needs a robust reference. Please do not re-add the deleted material unless you have one to share. The lists I've seen tend to have Gauss and many, many others ahead of John Venn. See, for example Eells, W. C. (1962). "100 Greatest". Mathematics Teacher. 55. and also this web page, neither of which lists Venn. My hunch is that such surveys and lists of "The Greatest" are dependent on just who is surveyed and when. - Astrochemist (talk) 11:01, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
Before adding new material, please see this page, and also the text box therein, for Wikipedia's stand on verifiability. The burden for verifying new materials is on the editor who adds such. - Astrochemist (talk)
When reading this article, the statement "the cause of his death was not specified." caught my attention. Not specified by what or by whom? Sorry I don't have any resources on John Venn, I just thought the phrase was odd. 198.150.183.44 (talk) 16:21, 19 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
According to what logic (pun intended) are Venn diagrams called Venn diagrams? They were invented by Leonhard Euler. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.55.52 (talk) 23:02, 14 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
