Talk:Archimedes number

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fascinating. What, prey tell, is its application - what is A_r in the equation? Articles should always be able to be read stand-alone. This is not. GRAHAMUK 12:33, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)

There. Nothing like a bit of "What Links Here" sugar :) Dysprosia 12:38, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Well, I still don't think it tells me much. What is the result of the equation - a velocity, a rate... what? If it's a dimensionless number, what does it signify?. Also, having to click "what links here" to determine what an article is talking about indicates a general failure on the part of the author to be encyclopedic, IMHO. In this case the only link to here is "dimensionless number", which is a general thing that does not have anything to do with fluid motions, etc. The opening sentence gives a hint but is still not encyclopedic enough, I think.

Yes, but we can't always win. Having a few hits on "What Links Here" always helps - though I do agree the article still needs much work - unfortunately I don't know about it to do so Dysprosia 13:11, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)
