Talk:CSIRO

message: The list of divisions is incomplete and incorrect... however the whole list  is rather long!  I will leave it up to someone else to decide what to do about it.--Russell E 21:18, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding is the divisions are constantly being changed, reading through I can see there are divisions (such as the ICT centre) that no longer exist and have been formed into different divisions. There is an inside joke that CSIRO stands for Constant State of Internal Reorginisation. aliasd·U·T 07:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Divisions 

message: I notice on first reading this article is overwhelmingly positive... which is fine, but makes alarm bells ring for me because it makes me think someone biased towards the institution wrote much of the initial content or it was derived almost exclusively from an official website.
Specifically I noticed how the "highlights" of CSIRO have been listed near the start of the article and that these included "the successful introduction of biological controls"... such as Myxamatosis and the Calicivirus. I am not sure that either of these can be automatically termed "successful" or a "highlight". I just removed the word successful but more changes could be warranted. — Donama 05:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the research contributions of CSIRO are very important; more important than its structure, for example. I support them appearing at the start of the article. Of course you are right that NPOV wording needs to be used, and any important "lowlights" need to be given equal footing with the "highlights". Snottygobble 05:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

message: There is a thing I've heard people mention called the "CSIRO diet" which I assume is a diet designed by CSIRO that's optimal according to Australian nutritional guidelines. Mention of this ought to be included if it is indeed a project of the CSIRO. — Donama 05:07, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "The CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet" was published last year by a group of CSIRO scientists. It was a national bestseller, but it was panned by Nature for an alleged conflict of interest in that it was funded by the Australian livestock industry, and recommends eating larger quantities of red meat that most dieticians would support. Snottygobble 05:18, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's encouragement of red was also specifically criticised by some for increasing the risk of bowel cancer, or so they claim. --cj | talk 05:33, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  CSIRO diet 

message: I think the recent controversies section would fit the flow of the article better if it was moved below flagship initiatives, as it doesn't seem to fit well under 2 historical lists.  Any objections? Colonel Tom 00:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Move 'recent controversies'

message: The lawsuits have very recently been settled  http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2009/04/23/2550483.htm, multiple places need to be edited (intro paragraph + section on lawsuit). Please remove this message when it has been adequately edited.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.183.129 (talk) 04:49, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  802.11 settlement 

message: First off I have to admit that I will not make any substantial additions to this document as I currently work there. However, I will make small edits and points out mistakes when they appear.
I suggest that people wanting to write more about CSIRO, get their hands on a book called 'Fields of Discovery'. The [ASAP website] at University of Melbourne is a good site for information about the history of Australian science.

thread_title:  A source of sources...and other things 

message: Is CSIRO pronounced as if you spelled each letter out, or as "see-ess-eye-row," or some other way I'm not thinking about? (I assume Australians refer to the organization by its acronym, than its full name.) Just wondering. -HiFiGuy 03:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Usually "see-ess-eye-are-owe" (said quickly, run together), sometimes "sighrow". --Scott Davis Talk 03:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: ScottDavis is on the money. The shortened form of 'Sigh-Row' is used internally or by those in the science field. The public typically use the longer form. Spindocbob 02:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It used to be the other way around: "Sighrow" was frowned on internally. SCHolar44 (talk) 22:21, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Domain name 

message: I cannot accept a heading of "Alleged Bullying, Harassment, and Victimisation".
Bullying, Harassment, and Victimisation has already been established on various fronts such as by Comcare investigations, AAT decisions, court decisions, etc.
What is unknown is the extent of the problem, but these are not allegations and the problem exists. The CSIRO has commissioned an investigation for this reason. At this point in time we are only aware of the tip of the iceberg.
It is for this reason that I remove the word 'Allegations' from the heading.
The Bullying, Harassment, and Victimisation has been established to exist. The extent is unknown.
Hoffmanj (talk) 00:37, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You have a clear POV and conflict of interest regarding this topic, Please follow WP:NPOV. Also the media and ComCare (which are sourced in the very section) always states that it's "allegations". Bidgee (talk) 02:06, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Why is this page dominated by dubious conspiracy theories, and the use of questionable sources (and calling them questionable is giving them a lot of credit)?  It looks as if the Australian anti-science fiends have been at work. Magpieram (talk) 22:18, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: This entire section was removed in 2018 cutting considerable material that was well referenced and compiled by many contributors over many years.  This has been replaced manually from an earlier version prior to the 'vandalism'. The person doing this was signed in as ScienceBoffin76, they did not explain anything but merely wrote "Deleted old information, added current information" and "Section revisions". They deleted over 3000 words and several subsections. This is clearly an attempt to remove information from the public domain. Thinksome (talk) 07:16, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversies Section 

message: I have updated the section on CSIRO structure to reflect the current (2019) published information. While doing so, I also removed the following specific information about ANIC, the Australian National Insect Collection, which is too much detail to fit the present article scope, but have copied it here in case someone wishes to re-use it on a more detailed page on that particular collection. (I suspect it could also use some revision in order to be current).Tony 1212 (talk) 07:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
