Talk:Megalithic Yard

message: Pseudoscience? Thom was working backward, and suspected that there was some kind of common measurement, but I'm not sure how this is pseudoscience, except in what it's been used for subsequently. --MacRusgail 18:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not really pseudoscience. What has happened is that Thom has made a grave mistake in how he derived error (+/- 0.003) from his measurements of the stones. See http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/davel/MY.htm. Basically he measures many stone circles, all of which have errors of about 1 ft. He graphs these and see periods in the graph, he measure the distance between peaks and consoles that each distance is accurate to +/- 0.003 feet, thus he assumes that the yard they were measuring with is accurate to 0.003 feet. Which is completely groundless. There is only 1% confindence that the yard with error he gives would result in the stone formations, it takes a varying yard of (not surpisingly) almost +/- half the whole yard value (ie just random number) because you get any significane. So his data actually supports the idea that there was no megalithic yard, rather than that there was.--Dacium 12:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed the article Salt Line was deleted. I don't think it was clearly explained that that article could be considered a content forck (see WP:CFORK). Anyways, can someone please notify, if for any reason, this article is nominated for deletion. --CyclePat 21:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deletion Notice 

message: I came to this article because I was surprised to find it listed under the category of pseudohistory (and pseudoarchaeology).  Thom's work was wrong, but he was posing a serious hypothesis in an intellectually respectable fashion.  There is good scholarly criticism of Thom's concept, which relates his Megalithic Yard to the human pace.
The Butler and Knight material seems to fall into the area of fringe science and certainly deserves the categorization.
Some editing is in order to separate out Thom's early work from that of his successors.

:It is mentioned in the lead and also in the text. The lead is supposed to summarize what is written in the main body of the article so by default some items will be mentioned twice. It is also important to leave it in the body text because that is where it is cited to a reliable source.

message: This is Richard P. Gabriel. I am a big Andre Dubus fan, and grew up near where he lived until he died. It took me a while to find where Mr Dubus is buried, but I did. It is about a half mile from the house where he lived before he died on East Broadway in Haverhill. It's technically in a village called Rocks Village. A little while after he died, his son, Andre Dubus III, put up a simple wooden cross. Later, a Marine, flat headstone was installed, and finally a medium-sized, black stone headstone, and the wooden cross taken down. I like to visit cemeteries, and I visit Andre Dubus's several times a year when I travel to Haverhill to research a book I'm writing. I have searched for other, outside confirmation, but someone has incorrectly listed his burial site as Elmwood Cemetery in Find A Grave, and it's simply not correct. You can find with google another person who has tried to fix this bug, but it hasn't worked. 
I found him by visiting the Haverhill Gazette offices and talking to the man who wrote his obituary.
He is buried about 50' behind another writer, John Bellairs, who wrote gothic children's stories. 
Here is a photo of his headstone, which I took in 2008. There are other headstones you can see that might convince you, if you researched them, that this is Greenwood, not Elmwood. When I return to New England, I'll get a picture that shows Bellair's headstone in the foreground with Dubus's in the background, and then you can use any of the sites that talk about where Bellair's buried to verify what I'm saying.
