message: Okay, this section's either got to go or be really redone. Definitely not worded like an encyclopedia article. More like a kids' book... Just my 2c, of course. Kind of looks like it was copied/pasted from somewhere else then reformatted for WP... But I could be wrong. Mgmirkin 20:30, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: How to make a toroidal pinch section??

message: Seems like the first section and several subsequent sections are worded almost like advertising propaganda, trying to expound the virtues of this particular implementation over similar competing implementations. I don't think that really has a place in WP. In fact I'm pretty sure it's relatively Verboten (forbidden) by WP:Vanity, WP:NPOV among other rules? Should probably be reworded to maintain neutrality and conform to standard encyclopedic wordings. It would also be nice if citations would be utilized. I've created a References section, so if people could cite using the < ref > < /ref > tags, it's ready to go (though it looks weird not having any citations yet). Thx.

thread_title: Advertising?

message: "The most common way a plasma distorts the confining field is by driving periodic waves along it. These fluctuations were entirely unexpected in the early days of fusion research. To see why, imagine you're standing over a riot shouting rude remarks like "Packers suck! Cleveland rules!" driving the riot to a fevered pitch. Now imagine that out of this random cauldron of chaotic motion a parade should spontaneously break out, every member marching in lock step."
The above seems like completely non-encyclopedic tripe of the kind someone might find in a kids' book. Aside rfom that it's confusing. I'm not sure wht the reference to a parade breaking out really has to do with plasma confinement fields. This should probably be reworded in a more standard fashion. Let's try just describing what actually happens in physical terms? Somehow it just looks liek a lot of this was copied and pasted from a kid-friendly company/institutional PR website or something... No offense. Just doesn't really seem encyclopedic, and even seems a bit insulting to the audience. Mgmirkin 20:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Magnetic Fluctuations in the RFP?

message: Article seems to need an overview eg of construction, dates, achievements. 
What density, temperature, confinement time etc have been achieved ?
Dates for each experiment ? - Rod57 (talk) 03:17, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing info 

message: This is a terribly written article, mainly because it does not cite ANY PEER REVIEWED MATERIAL. WikiHelper2134 (talk) 17:24, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
