Why change the article title to "exhaustion by subsets"?[edit]
@TakuyaMurata Why did you change the title of the page from "Exhaustion by compact sets" to "Exhaustion by compact subsets"? In the context of a topological space, there is no possible ambiguity: if a space X is going to be exhausted by a bunch of something, that something is necessarily something inside X, namely a subset of X. There is no other interpretation. And "exhaustion by compact sets" is also slightly shorter, and in common use too. See for example https://books.google.com/books?id=ZQVGAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA110&dq=%22exhaustion+by+compact%22&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj9r_zwz5D7AhVRD1kFHe_lAmYQuwV6BAgGEAc#v=onepage&q=%22exhaustion%20by%20compact%22&f=false (which is one of the references in the article).

- I'll give it a few more days and then revert the title if nobody wants to comment. PatrickR2 (talk) 08:53, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

- @PatrickR2: Sorry for not responding to you (I was aware from Wikipedia). I moved it not because of ambiguity but because compact sets here are compact subsets of a particular space; so I thought the latter might be clearer. I do however not have a strong opinion on the matter. -- Taku (talk) 08:51, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
