Talk:John Moffat (physicist)

message: It's been over a year since I acquired these photos but they originated with handouts (as well as an article published in a local Canadian newspaper) to coincide with a series of public lectures given at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo. Since they were generally published to the community at large, I believe they fall into the copyright category of "Fair Use" as described elsewhere in the site. --Neilrieck 02:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright tag on both photos set to "fairuse" 

message: The most recent edits come from , aka the sympatico.ca anon in Peterborough, Ontario, which is so far a single purpose account.  
This article is beginning to edge toward violations of WP:NPOV, e.g.  After that, the number of physicists citing Moffat's work in academic journals skyrocketed. seems inappropriate.   Can you tone it down a bit?  TIA ---CH 21:46, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

message: There is a guy that published prior work about variable speed of light and that has been published in Modern Physics Letters A in 1988-1989.  His name is Jean-Pierre Petit.  I think anteriority of idea should be noted in Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.103.41.50 (talk) 17:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
