Talk:Zinc economy

Latest comment: 16 years ago by 192.91.172.36

The sole reference for this article appears to contain substantial amounts of original research. It also seems to be lacking in references and has a clear bias toward ZnAir (and especially Zebra) batteries. Suspect that listed reference is promotional/marketing material and should not be considered a valid reference. This also calls into question the bias and relevance of the Wikipedia article itself. Perhaps a simple redirect to Zinc-air_battery would s be sufficient.

There is no requirement here that a reference avoid OR, only that the encylopedia itself do so. And I note that at least one of the external links could as easily be listed as a reference.

Perhaps there is no requirement that a reference avoid OR, but the guidelines do state that articles should be based on reliable sources. The reference in question does not offer a neutral perspective, and clearly pushes an agenda that is not well suppored by facts. It is the only external link that mentions a "Zinc economy"; this entire article is founded on phrase invented by one person for the sole purpose of generating attention for Zinc battery technologies.
