Talk:Mutually assured destruction

message: I wanted to propose merging Balance of terror into this one. Generally speaking they refer to the same thing. The primary distinction between the two is really who has used which term when. From that perspective having two articles seems to violate WP:NAD. Really the only true distinction would seem to be that MAD refers to the actual threat whereas BOT refers to the perception/reaction to that threat. It doesn't seem to me that subtlety merits two articles.
Since Balace of terror is only a stub now anyway merging doesn't seem a big deal.

Talk:Environment

message: Shouldn't this page be called "Environment (disambiguation)"? In my opinion, the natural environment page should be called Environment. Eatanorange (talk) 15:15, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Since "Environment" is a word used in a number of different contexts and not simply for the natural environment or the biophysical environment it is best to keep this as the primary disambiguation page. I would like to see a single word that means "biophysical environment" ("bioment", "biophysiment"??)

replies: text: This is clearly a disambiguation page. According to Wikipedia: disambiguation, there are three scenarios for disambiguation pages. I think this page conforms to the first scenario (Joker), so that it is not necessary that the term "disambiguation" appears in the title.

Talk:Pathological science

message: The current list of examples of stuff that allegedly has been misclassified as pathological science is not, in its present form, worth retention in the article.
Two of the five are so obscure that one can't even find out what they are in Wikipedia. One other (freezing hot water) is scientifically trivial, not involving any alleged scientific breakthrough in the first place. None of the non-trivial four is something that has won out over the pig-headed opposition of the Establishment and thus serves a clear example of how useless the PS concept is. (Certainly, we all understand that the key to "pathological science" is not whether it turned out right or wrong, but how the claimed discovery was handled by its proponents; but something that has turned out to be right still makes a much more convincing example.)
The list as given in this article does not show evidence that any of the items has been called pathological; nor are there apparent grounds for calling them so.
 
The Wikipedia articles on two non-trivial items show criticisms, but no accusations of pathological science, or allegations that such accusations have been made. They also show no good reason, under Langmuir's rules, for applying the term.
Somebody who considers the list to be valid will want to make emendations. It ain't me, babe. --Dandrake 20:24, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)
:I'm with you. The list is rubish. Moreover Langmuir's belief in the cubical atom, apparently offered as irony, is an example of something that was NOT pathological -- when Bohr's theory showed a clearly better way to conceive the atom, everyone was happy to adbandon the earlier system. Lysenkoism isn't because no one believed it; if anyone supported it, it was to stay out of jail. J-phenomenon hits on google are primarily copies of this article. Halton Arp is a crank, not pathological. Mpemba effect, as you note, is a real event and the only debate is why it happens. None of these are pathological, nor ever been named as such. As examples of things that have been "inappropriately described as either pathological science or incorrect" the list contains either items that are not pathological (and were never described as such) or things that ARE incorrect. --Maury 02:46, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Threshing machine

message: This article is seriously outdated, so much so that I'm not sure it's even useful for a modern encylopedia, unless it were rephrased as a historical note! -- April (2002)
If you want updated information on this topic, see: Combine harvester.  The Threshing machine was the historical predecessor to the combine harvester, which began to replace threshing machines early in the 20th century.  That's probably why it may seem outdated.  Landroo 16:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Old comments (2002 and 2005)

message: This section was added because the adoption of the threshing machine has become a classic argument in favor of automation. If laws had been passed in the 1830 is favor of farm laborers, and threshing machines had been outlawed, the cost of bread would have remained a very high percentage of a typical family's income for many years to come.

message: The following "Interesting Fact" was added today:
::Operating the thresher was said to be exhausting work. When the threshers would come home they were known for consuming large amounts of food. This created a phrase, commonly used by midwestern Baby Boomers, "Enough to feed a Thresher."
I have found only one online reference, and that says "the thresher" rather than "a thresher" (Chapter 23 of "O! Pioneers"), suggesting that it is the machine rather than the workers which is 'hungry'. So, I am not convinced by the explanation, which anyway counts as Original Research if it can't be backed-up.
I know online references are not the final word, but I am suspicious that this assertion is erroneous, hence the 'fact' tag.
