Axiom of choice/Talk

Do Wikipedia articles assume the axiom of choice unless otherwise mentioned? Or should results which rely on choice be marked as such? --Matthew Woodcraft

They should be marked as such. If they're not, fix them. --Taw

Pretty much anything I write assumes AC. --Zundark, 2001 Dec 16

I think it is polite, when writing about a central theorem like existence of prime ideals or Hahn-Banach, to mention that it depends on AC, but it is really too much to ask to do the detailed bookkeeping and mention AC for every result which depends on one of those theorems. AC is an accepted axiom in mathematics. --AxelBoldt
