References edit

The multiple www.nature.com references are not really suitable as you need to make a payment to view them? TeapotgeorgeTalk 16:21, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

The need to pay for references is a good point but for most people interested in the HFSP, they will have access to the articles via their universities' subscriptions. I don't know of any equivalent Open Access sources, especially for the historical information, which appeared in Nature before the start of the Open Access movement. These remain the best external sources about HFSP even if access is restricted.

And, as always, there is no requirement that all references be online references, convenient though it may be. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:27, 19 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Handled wikify needed edit

I added more wikilinks and removed wikify from the issues list. If there are those who think it is still underwikified, let me know.Naraht (talk) 17:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think it is still under wikified, but also think that it probably needs hacking back as well...there is too much unencyclopedic marketing puffery, as is to be expected from a copy and paste job. TeapotgeorgeTalk 17:26, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Adding in a few more. Seemed like the change that was easiest to do and least likely to get reverted by the original editor (note, I originally wrote "original owner", which I still think it feels like. I really wonder if the original editor ever read WP:OWN.)Naraht (talk) 17:34, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV edit

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:46, 29 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
