 Perfect number   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A perfect number is an integer which is the sum of its proper positive divisors (factors), not including the number itself.
Nowadays, prime numbers generated by the formula are known as Mersenne primes, after the seventeenth-century monk, Marin Mersenne, who studied number theory and perfect numbers.
Numbers where the sum is less than the number itself are called deficient, and where it is greater, abundant; these terms, together with perfect itself, come from Greek numerology.

 Informat.io on Perfect Number
In mathematics, a perfect number is defined as an integer which is the sum of its proper positive divisors, that is, the sum of the positive divisors not including the number.
Numbers where the sum is less than the number itself are called deficient, and where it is greater than the number, abundant.
By definition, a perfect number is a fixed point of the restricted divisor function s(n) = σ(n) − n, and the aliquot sequence associated with a perfect number is a constant sequence.

A palindromic number is a number (in some base b) that is the same when written forwards or backwards, i.e., of the form a_1a_2...a_2a_1.
Quasiperfect numbers are therefore the sum of their nontrivial divisors.
No quasiperfect numbers are known, although if any exist, they must be greater than 10^(35) and have seven or more distinct prime factors.

Perfect numbers are a holdover from the days of the Pythagoreans, when mathematicians were mystics as much as anything else and put a lot more stock in coincidence.
Quasiperfect numbers have a divisor sum of 2n+1; almost perfect numbers have a divisor sum of 2n-1.
For example, sublime numbers have a perfect number of divisors, and the sum of their divisors is itself perfect.

Traditionally, number theory is that branch of pure mathematics concerned with the properties of integers and contains many open problems that are easily understood even by non-mathematicians.
More generally, the field has come to be concerned with a wider class of problems that arose naturally from the study of integers.
Number theory may be subdivided into several fields according to the methods used and the questions investigated.

 Perfect, amicable and sociable numbers
For a number n, we define s(n) to be the sum of the aliquot parts of n, i.e., the sum of the positive divisors of n, excluding n itself: so, for example, s(8)=1+2+4=7, and s(12)=1+2+3+4+6=16.
A perfect number is a cycle of length 1 of s, i.e., a number whose positive divisors (except for itself) sum to itself.
However the sum of unitary divisors, bi-unitary divisors, or infinitary divisors of a number is always even, unless the number is a power of 2.

 Semiperfect number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a semiperfect number or pseudoperfect number is a natural number n that is equal to the sum of all or some of its proper divisors.
A semiperfect number that is equal to the sum of all its proper divisors is called a perfect number; an abundant number which is not semiperfect is called a weird number.
With one exception, all primary pseudoperfect numbers are semiperfect.

Since most articles are very small (under 10k), and size, therefore, is not an issue, there is no valid reason to ''exclude'' material on the basis of its redundancy of external material alone.
Unfortunately, I am unsure whether it is supposed to actually be a "closed interval" (which would match the notation), an "open interval" (in which case, I believe the bounds should be marked with parenthesis and not square brackets), or I am simply wrong.
