Wikipedia talk:Community enforceable mediation/Commodore Sloat and Armon

message: * Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Waldorf_education I gave extensive evidence at this case.  Remedies were very mild until the case reopened and one editor got topic banned, but the whole thing dragged out for months.  The dispute occurred between educated people and had a generally high intellectual level with considerable edit warring and some personal attacks.  I hope this example motivates the editors in this case to solve their problems on their own.
* Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Ulritz resulted in mutual revert parole for two editors (one revert per week) and a yearlong probation for both editors.
* Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Terryeo resulted in a topic ban and personal attack parole for one editor.  Half a year later the editor got indef blocked.

Talk:Joseph Tyrrell

message: Can we actually consider Joseph Tyrrell to be considered as a paleontologist? 
He accidentally came across the Albertosaurus while on an expedition. However, despite that, some Wikipedia pages classifies him as a paleontologist, which can get confusing, since he never dealt with fossils after that discovery and would prefer studying about the geography of the area he was in at the time. 
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could confirm/edit this.

Talk:Jules-Émile Verschaffelt

message: * Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications — 1976
The notion of a critical exponent was first used by Van der Waals in 1893 for describing the critical behavior of the surface tension. He also noticed in the early 1890's that experimental data on capillarity indicated a nonclassical value for the surface tension exponent. Verschaffelt found that this was due to the fact that the coexistence curve exponent beta was nonclassical. In 1900, he established precise nonclassical values for the exponents beta and delta. Even though from this time onwards the "cubic law" for fluid coexistence curves was accepted, the true implication of Verschaffelt's results, namely the failure of classical theory, was not appreciated. Some reasonsfor this lack of impact will be given.
If I weren't on the outside of the paywall, I might have checked out the reasons then added a sentence to this biography, which is extremely light on V's specific accomplishments. — MaxEnt 01:37, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Death 

message: I recently came across this anecdote about Ken Kunen:
"Feynman’s classes were too hard for a majority of the students, but by no means all.. When test bluebooks were handed back, they were arranged by grade, with the best on top. The first one usually belonged to Ken Kunen, a math major who ended up doing algebraic topology at Wisconsin for many years; inside the cover would be a note from the physics department begging him to forsake math and become a physicist."
(source: https://www.quora.com/Were-Feynmans-lectures-on-physics-really-too-difficult-for-Caltech-students-back-in-the-1960s/answer/Peter-Clark-48?ch=10&share=12178e88&srid=m32nO)
Is this worth mentioning in the education section? Does the above constitute a valid source?
Given the popularity of the Feynman Lectures on Physics as undergraduate textbooks, the possibility that Kunen was one of the only students who did well by the original lecture course seems somewhat noteworthy, and I don't see it mentioned anywhere else.

Talk:Lewis Stadler

message: I heard of L.J. Stadler's work when I was a graduate student in genetics in the 1960s.  At that time I was told that it paralleled the work of H.J. Muller on the effects of radiation on mutations.  Muller proved this in the 1920s by elegant experiments in Drosophila, and got the Nobel Prize for that work.  I was told that Stadler did the corresponding experiments in plants (corn) and proved that radiation could cause mutation in plants.  He was also a mentor to many corn geneticists, including Herschel Roman and Barbara McClintock.  So his work was one inch short of Nobel Prize caliber.
I may be biased, as I knew his son David Stadler, as we overlapped as faculty members in the University of Washington Department of Genetics for decades (and he was a hell of a nice guy).  But someone should check out where Stadler fits in to the story of corn genetics in the U.S., and into the story of proving that radiation could induce mutations in plants as well as animals.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felsenst (talk • contribs) 02:49, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

But I just checked Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and realized I'm not going to know enough about them to add that data tonight.  I hope this is the right place to plug them in, for now, so that someone else can determine whether they're appropriate.
