::Thanks for the merger done sometime ago. I've recently sourced a definition for [[angular displacement]] from an authoritative source ([[ISO 80000-3]]) which states explicitly it may be a signed quantity. Therefore, I've retargeted the redirect [[Angle of rotation]]. [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 08:52, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

::::Circular angles can exceed 360° or 2π radians, representing multiple revolutions or fractional parts of a revolution. [[User:Yuthfghds|Yuthfghds]] ([[User talk:Yuthfghds|talk]]) 06:17, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
:::::"Linear angles" is not a term used in technical literature or curriculum that I have seen. Most of the results in a search for "linear angle" seem to be using it as a synonym for "straight angle" (i.e. a half turn, 180°). Where did you get these names? Do you have a source? I would call this instead something like "angular distance" or "angular separation" (or just "angle"). I agree that this article should do a better job about talking about different concepts of angle, and I have started gathering sources for hopefully an eventual rewrite/rework. –[[user:jacobolus|jacobolus]] [[User_talk:jacobolus|(t)]] 06:45, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

::::::ChatGPT
::::::If you're discussing the concept of circular angles on a Wikipedia talk page and someone has asked for references or clarification, it's important to provide reliable sources to support your claims. Here's how you can approach the situation:
::::::Research the topic: Start by gathering information and understanding the concept of circular angles yourself. Look for reputable sources such as textbooks, scholarly articles, or authoritative websites that explain the concept clearly.
::::::Find reliable references: Locate specific references that discuss circular angles. These can include academic papers, books, or reputable online sources that provide a definition or explanation of circular angles. Make sure the sources you select are recognized as reliable and trustworthy.
::::::Cite your sources: When responding to the Wikipedian or updating the talk page, include the references you found. Provide the relevant information such as the title, author, publication date, and a link (if available) to each source. This will help support your argument and demonstrate that the concept of circular angles is backed by credible information.
::::::Be open to discussion: Engage in a constructive discussion with the Wikipedian and other contributors on the talk page. Listen to their concerns or questions and address them with evidence from your sources. Remain respectful and open-minded throughout the conversation, as Wikipedia relies on collaborative editing and consensus-building.
::::::Remember, the goal of a talk page is to discuss and improve the quality of Wikipedia articles. By providing reliable references and engaging in meaningful discussion, you can contribute to the accurate representation of the concept of circular angles on Wikipedia.

{{dedent|6}} Unless I am doing something wrong with my text searches at the internet archive, the term "linear angle" does not appear in either of the books you listed by [https://archive.org/details/elementarygeomet0000alex_o5k5_4ed/page/6/mode/2up?q=%22linear+angle%22 Alexander] or [https://archive.org/details/geometrycomprehe0000pedo/page/n5/mode/2up?view=theater&q=%22linear+angle%22 Pedoe]. –[[user:jacobolus|jacobolus]] [[User_talk:jacobolus|(t)]] 11:13, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 
:[[User:Jacobolus|@Jacobolus]] Please recheck,if you still don't find it I can't do anything.Because I don't have those books that I mentioned you.Because I red those books few years ago.And I think linear angle is informal term mentioned by the author.And I argued here so it's my fault but still we can add these topics in this article.If I tell you the definition of linear angle and circular angle it would be like this:-
:linear angle- Angle measured between two rays in degrees.
:circular angle- Angle measured between two rays also in degrees but including minutes and hours. Technically angles that are placed inside a unit circle with 3 divisions namely degrees, minutes and hours.
:I am glad that you understand my perspective and debate over this topic. [[User:Yuthfghds|Yuthfghds]] ([[User talk:Yuthfghds|talk]]) 13:03, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 
::The angle between two rays does not depend on whether or not a circle is drawn around their vertex! — When you say "including minutes and hours", are you referring to [[right ascension]] (part of the coordinates of a star in the sky) which is at least sometimes given in hours? — The subdivisions of a degree are called ''minutes'' and ''seconds''. As far as I know, hours and degrees are never used together, partly because of the confusion between two kinds of "minutes". —[[User:Tamfang|Tamfang]] ([[User talk:Tamfang|talk]]) 21:01, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Tamfang|Tamfang]] You are absolutely right.These are just "informal" terms to distinguish between trigonometric angles and geometric angles. [[User:Yuthfghds|Yuthfghds]] ([[User talk:Yuthfghds|talk]]) 05:25, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
::::Why do they need distinguishing? Is there ever a circumstance in which mistaking a trigonometric angle for a geometric angle (or vice versa) or a linear angle for a circular angle (or vice versa) (are these the same distinction?) would lead to wrong results? —[[User:Tamfang|Tamfang]] ([[User talk:Tamfang|talk]]) 20:08, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 
:As I mentioned above linear angle is an informal term referred to angles that are measured in only degrees like in protector when we measure angle we say 12.5° or 45.2° just because we can't expand it but in circular angles we expand this system.linear angles are helpful in geometry but circular angles are helpful in trigo [[User:Yuthfghds|Yuthfghds]] ([[User talk:Yuthfghds|talk]]) 13:12, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 
:well the references that I mentioned you are generated by Chatgpt.But I red the book by padeo don't know linear angle is in that book or not but I red somewhere about linear angle in a random book but when Ai generated that book I thought it cover that topic sorry for the inconvenience that you suffered but still together we can make this article near excellence.

== Negative angle definition ==
 
The following was removed: "Although the definition of the measurement of an angle does not support the concept of a negative angle," as unhelpful. Of course a definition can be contrived. Essentially one refers to area of a circular sector, using [[signed area]] according to the area being above or below the horizontal line of symmetry. This definition is for angles fixed in a standard position. Reference to [[area]] for definition is the historic basis of hyperbolic angle, so angle reference to area is one of the [[unifying theories in mathematics]].

:This article needs to be clarified and expanded to more clearly describe and discuss the several different concepts of "angle" which are in common use. This is something I plan to do eventually; I've been occasionally gathering sources at [[User:Jacobolus/Angle]] but am not yet ready to write a solid survey. –[[user:jacobolus|jacobolus]] [[User_talk:jacobolus|(t)]] 00:45, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 
Thank you for those sources on directed angle. The issue of angle definition came to a head in 1893 in Chicago when Felix Klein shot down Alexander Macfarlane’s paper on the topic which was presented to the mathematical congress held in connection with the [[Columbia Exposition]]. The paper was included in ''Papers in Space Analysis'' (1894) as the ''Proceedings'' of the congress only noted the title. The notion of an area-based definition referring to the sector of a circle was included in ''The Elements of Plane Trigonometry'' (1892) by R. Levitt & C. Davison (page 158). [[Robert Baldwin Hayward]] noted the complete analogy between the circular and hyperbolic cases when area of sectors are used to define the circular and hyperbolic angles. — [[User:Rgdboer|Rgdboer]] ([[User talk:Rgdboer|talk]]) 01:19, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 
:Of course, both circular and hyperbolic angle measure can be defined either via area or via arc length, with the latter using a Lorentzian (pseudo-Euclidean) concept of distance in the plane. –[[user:jacobolus|jacobolus]] [[User_talk:jacobolus|(t)]] 02:25, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
