Talk:Topology/Compactness

As compactness is one of the fundamental ideas of topology, I feel that this chapter belongs to the Topology wikibook and not the Set theory one. Further, no one has supported the mergeto:Set Theory suggestion in a long time and so I'm removing it. SPat (talk) 08:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Using unexplained concepts
It is not in the spirit of these WIKI-books to simply use the concepts of filter and net. Use of filter is slightly more defendable, since it is a more non-topological concept, but at least it should have been mentioned in the first chapter as "prerequisite". "Net" is a topological concept. It should be properly introduced in the context of the book itself. Leen Droogendijk (discuss • contribs) 17:45, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
