When trying to weigh RS you should take into account whether the source is reliable for the statement being made, re: a work specifically on the "electrification in Western society" vs a a general "An Encyclopedia of World History". When sources disagree you describe the disagreement. Also check the source, if it says 1877 its flat out wrong. Tesla claims he did it in 1882.

thread_title: No evidence that Tesla identified the rotating magnetic field before 1888

message: Magnetic fields neither move nor rotate but may change in magnitude and direction over time for any given point in space. This is definitional. The very title of the article is nonsequiter and compounded throughout.
As such, this is a nonsense article.
Instead, given a static magnetic field to one observer, to another observer in relative motion, the field is "rotated" in space-time (a Lorentz boost) such that there appears to be both a magnetic and an electric field. 2001:5B0:2BFF:EF0:0:0:0:3C (talk)   — Preceding undated comment added 18:06, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk:List of multi-level marketing companies

message: This is hard to address, since in violation of WP:VERIFY, this article presents essentially no sources, instead—contrary to WP:VER and other guidelines—relies on wikilinks to refer readers to sources of the factual basis of the list's entries.
In this case—and understand I am no fan of, nor do I have a relationship with the following—the entry for company Amway should have made clear, at least parenthetically, based on the sources and statements at that main article that Amway's MLM arm was (1) apparently limited to channels operating in the UK and Australia, and (2) an arm that has ceased to function even there. 
That is to say, if we are relying on the main article to inform the content of this list, there needs to be
* move of relevant citations from the main article into this list, and 
* maintenance of information here via regular cross-checking of the list entries against the main articles, looking to more recent sources and update relevant to the status of individual entries.
The best, boldest, and most compliant edit of this list, with regard to WP:OR and WP:VER, would be to hide (using left angle bracket exclamation point-- markup) all entries unsupported by a verifiable source. That is what our policies and guidelines expect.

thread_title:  Uses 

message: There was an absurd assertion on this page that walruses and warthogs don't "really" have tusks because they are canines rather than incisors.  I quote:
:Tusk-bearing mammals in a strict sense are only elephants, as they are the only animals whose protruding teeth are incisors.  The "tusks" of other animals such as warthogs,  wild boar, and walruses are enlarged, tusk-like canine teeth.
This isn't supported by anything I have ever seen, by anything resembling common or biological uses of the world, or even by the existence of narwhals, whose tusks are also incisors.  I rewrote the page accordingly, touching on some uses as well.  It is not particularly well-referenced, but the term is a generic one and it is difficult to generalize.  But for the record, walruses most certainly DO have tusks.  Best, Eliezg (talk) 17:43, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: evolution

message: Preventive tusk removal by park rangers has not been mentioned in this page. This seems a useful technique to discourage poachers and maintain the species and still be able to still sell the natural material.
The question is: what is the best approach then ? Sell those removed tusks instead of destroying them ? Or destroy them (which results in increased prices of ivory on the black market)  (see destruction of ivory) ?
I seem to think the best approach is to have the wildlife parks sell it, under a CITES certification, to bring in revenue for the wildlife park and help pay park ranger wages (resulting in better protection of the wildlife park).
Perhaps this can be mentioned somehow in the article ?
