Please do not delete external links with inacruate edit comments.Geni 21:33, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

So we link page to a page that has a link (almost certainly not delibrately) to a porn site with extreamy clear warning. I don't feel that this can be described as linking to a porn site. I also do not feel it is a reason to remove the link (wikipedia links to far far worse).Geni 22:45, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

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)

Diuretics

Hi Selket, I agree. Perhaps an initial basic writeup would be good just to get things going, and perhaps people can fill it in with more detail afterwards. I'm a bit too busy to do it myself at the moment unfortunately. -Techelf 12:03, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
