Talk:Frederick Lindemann, 1st Viscount Cherwell

message: The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography article on G.L.S. Shackle refers to Lindemann's wartime economics and statistics unit as "S-Branch". I was contemplating an article under that title but it does not seem to be a very widespread usage. What do people think? Cutler 11:15, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: "[The 'dehousing paper'] became the genesis of the assault on German civilian morale by area bombardment."
I have flagged this as a missing citation. Blake says in ODNB "But it seems unlikely that his famous minute in 1942 to Churchill on this theme was the determining factor in a decision which had its roots far back in recommendations of the chiefs of staff in 1940."

message: Is Irving considered reliable?  I've just finished reading Wilson's book and each point in the article that uses Irving as a reference seems to clash with my reading of Wilson.  A holocaust denier doesn't sound reliable to me.DHR (talk) 06:01, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

message: If I have read this correctly, the reference to "another Jewish emigre" (i.e. Morgenthau) suggests that Lindemann was also Jewish and yet his father was apparently Catholic and his mother Protestant (see the article on Lindemann's father). Other sources also credit Lindemann with anti-semitism.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianmoses (talk • contribs) 14:19, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

message: "The bar charts now on display in the Cabinet War Rooms which compare allied shipping tonnage lost to newbuildings delivered each month and those comparing bomb tonnage dropped by Germany on England with that dropped by the allies on Germany each month are mute testaments to both the intellectual and the psychological power of his statistical presentations."  -- does not seem exactly NPOV, but I could be reading it inappropriately.

message: I've just read through this article for the first time after viewing the BBC Two drama Castles in the Sky, just to cross-reference some details v.v. my previous reading on scientific advances in WW2.  But to my point: I found one aspect of this article very dislocating: it does not comply with WP:SURNAME in that Lindermann is referred randomly as Lindermann and Cherwell, sometimes alternating on alternative references so you think that two people are being referenced.  Not good.  I feel that the article would be a lot easier if we just stuck to the manual of style and used "Lindermann" consistently.  Unless any other active editor on this page can present a valid counter-argument, I'll make this change in a couple of days time.  TerryE (talk) 22:37, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Done.  Also fixed a broken ref whilst I was at it. :-) TerryE (talk) 13:50, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Adding the phrase "Some scholars say" is a violation of WP:WEASEL and WP:YESPOV, unless sources are provided contradicting the view of these scholars. The ones currently given do not do this. Vanamonde93 (talk) 02:45, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Some scholars" 

message: There is useful 2010 article in ‘’Scientific American’’ here, that is already used as a source in this article. Lindemann was the subject of a 1960 lecture at Harvard by fellow physicist and writer C. P. Snow. The lecture, which focused on Lindemann’s friendship with, and influence on, Winston Churchill, was so long it was split over three successive nights and was broadcast live. Amongst other fascinating trivia  Snow told his audience that Lindemann  ".. lived on salads, egg whites, olive oil, and a specific variety of cheese." Martinevans123 (talk) 13:10, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

message: :
Three days ago Attic Salt requested a source for the claim that Birkeland proposed 3 years before Lindemann that the solar wind contains particles of both positive and negative charge. Birkeland's original 1916 paper is cited on this point in the articles on solar wind and on Kristian Birkeland. However I hesitate to include that reference as a source in this article on Lindemann for several reasons:
* I have not read the article or even seen a summary.
* I cannot find it on the Internet, not even in Norwegian and behind a paywall.
* As the original paper, it is a primary source and really should be supplemented by a later secondary source by a reliable author who said that Birkeland's proposal anticipated Lindemann.
Perhaps someone else can find more information about this paper. Dirac66 (talk) 21:57, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: , thanks for this. I did a bit of poking around only to find that I had a relevant and useful (non-primary) source to cite on this matter sitting on my desk! I've added it. Attic Salt (talk) 22:52, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
