Previously, the caption said "A Chimpanzee probably not writing Hamlet." This was funny, but perhaps too humorous for an article. A user opted to change it to "a chimpanzee sitting at a typewriter," which, although changing the caption is reasonable, strikes me as redundant. Worth changing to something else?

The Probability Of Monkeys Typing: https://envisionourfuture.tumblr.com/post/727987139933044736/the-probability-of-monkeys-typing KING (talk) 12:47, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
Date of proof
It doesn't seem clear from the history section (or the proof section) where the proofs came from. It seems to be an idea that has evolved so clarifying when it was proved would be informative, as well as who authored the proofs. Lightbloom (talk) 17:17, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
Monkey caption
Previously, the caption said "A Chimpanzee probably not writing Hamlet." This was funny, but perhaps too humorous for an article. A user opted to change it to "a chimpanzee sitting at a typewriter," which, although changing the caption is reasonable, strikes me as redundant. Worth changing to something else?
