[edit] Cited Sources
It'd be nice if the references given for ASA Highlights were not all self-referential; eg. get some independent verification. (See [1])... Valrith 02:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I did a minor edit in response to "advertising" charge. I disagree that it is an "ad" tho there's a bit of that ad style tone. They describe who they are with no blatant recruiting plugs or no digs at competing organizations.Victorianezine (talk) 10:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Some external information would be nice, but the advertising charge seems outright loony. Maxdwolf (talk) 20:25, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. There's nothing here that resembles advertising.
- Also, note that WP:V permits an organization's own statements (for instance, from its own web site) to be used as sources about its own positions.
- I see that the editor who added the "advertising" tag (more than six months ago) has contributed just one sentence to the discussion here (and nothing in the last six months). What's more, his one sentence was not about the alleged advertising. So I'm going to remove the tag. NCdave (talk) 03:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Documents Archive at Wheaton
A mention of this might be helpful. Also, when Abstract Books and Programs (or other archived materials that may be hard to locate) are referenced, this would be a place where readers could go to access the primary information.
[edit] Members?
Can we list some of the groups more notable members? I know that Owen Gingerich was involved with them, but a list with one guy is pretty weak. Jacob1207 02:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Maybe an ASA member can respond with more names. There were comments on the ASA site by a man who worked on the A-bomb project but he is listed by first name only (as one possible name to list).Victorianezine (talk) 10:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

the text is lifted from here, which makes this at the same time a copyright violation, and a violation of WP:NPOV. --dab (𒁳) 13:39, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
