Talk:Biosphere 2

message: 22 photos of the interior of Biosphere 2 in its current state. http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/true-horse-power-vehicle.html Amazingly, some of the plants are still alive, mostly the desert types that can exist with little water. The potential for good science experiments still exists there, if the place could be completely cleaned of all living things, sealed even better then restocked very carefully so unwanted pests like roaches don't get put in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.232.94.33 (talk) 10:17, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

text: It's not like it's unmaintained... The University of Arizona is actively running it and some of the original staff running the place are still here so it's not at all remarkable. Also, Biosphere 2 likely depends heavily on the tourism to fund itself so the complete sealing of it is unpractical but there are other places where there are better seals such as the agricultural domes which are being converted to a new experiment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.56.191.137 (talk) 22:37, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Would someone add some notes on the Min-A-Max system used to build the structure? There's a very informative article here: http://radio-weblogs.com/0119080/stories/2003/02/04/galleryMinamaxAndOtherSpac.html
It gives some flesh to Peter Pierce's system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LionKimbro (talk • contribs) 01:25, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  reliable source with important missing info 

message: I can't believe this author is being allowed to perpetuate so many long-debunked mistruths and to avoid all the very real criticism of this joke of an endeavor.  Please read Marc Coopers's 1991 Village Voice article "Take This Terrarium and Shove It" then scrap this entire Wikipedia entry, plus the equally bogus entries for John P. Allen and Ed Bass. I'm aware that more legitimate scientists are now in charge, but that doesn't mean we can accept lies about how it began.

barely seem relevant and almost like a dialogue (i.e., "the location suggests it was not legitimate", "actually, yes, it is located in such a location and its really quite great").
I propose removing these parts.

replies: text: I have removed it (also, even the sourced part had a less than usable citation). Rather than irrelevant details about geographical proximity of institutes to galleries, this should cite an assessment of these degrees by reliable sources. Regards, HaeB (talk) 04:25, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Relevance of location

message: This article avoids mentioning some of the other problems in the second (failed) experiment. (It also claims the expt. was 'incomplete' rather than failed. It was, of course, both.) The most egregious problem was that it was NOT closed. Personnel were allowed to enter and leave regularly. And various materials were added over time.71.29.173.173 (talk) 20:52, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
