Timeline of inventions
Hi,
On Timeline of inventions, the two deleted were factually inaccurate -
- Artificial teeth was explicitly at odds with the article on the subject, which cited an earlier case. However, that article doesn't give a source for the invention - the patent mentions "...in a more easy and effectual manner than any hitherto discovered...", wording which clearly indicates that artificial teeth were in use, and the patent was for a better form.
- Scramjet I left out simply because of the ambiguity of when it was invented - you could probably argue for half-a-dozen dates over forty years - but I was fairly confident that one wasn't it. (In all honesty, I also meant to go back and research it, but the rest of that week grew rather busy and I forgot).
In both cases, I felt it better to have no mention than verifiably incorrect information; Scramjet as is now looks fine, but Artificial teeth still looks wrong. Shimgray 11:33, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
