The result was redirected to Kinematics, because any content that's not already in that article is, at best, OR with definite CoI.. DS 14:02, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Derivatives of position
95% of this article is a hoax and the 5% of real physics it contains can already be found at Kinematics. It appears the author had way to much time to lose... Tomj 23:57, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Whether or not the information contained within is accurate or not, this article is a blatant violation of WP:OR. The References section is dominated by articles written by a Steve Mann. Checking author Glogger's page, he signs his paragraph "Steve." Hmm... Following a link to his personal website we find he is, in fact, Steve Mann. While I rather like the information contained in this article, I think it needs a lot of work to remove the OR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JFlav (talk • contribs) 01:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per above. I think it's clear that the author had a conflict of interest. Having studied physics on a college level, I know enough to say that most of the article is nonsense, and the fraction of worthwhile material is probably covered elsewhere in Wikipedia.
