[edit] Technology Time Scale

Delete. Original research? Google turns up answers.com (the first time I've ever seen it appear above the Wikipedia article). RobertG ♬ talk 15:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Delete as original research. Should Civilization Time Scale and Category:Civilization Time Scale also get the axe? Same author, same lack of references or substantiation. --DachannienTalkContrib 17:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Good call, I'm adding Civilization Time Scale above. --RobertG ♬ talk 17:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Such scales exist in history of technology books, science museums, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, which has one covering a large wall, but none are referenced in this original research article, so a good article could someday be created referencing such documented scales.Edison 17:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This article is absolute rubbish. Firstly, it hardly makes sense. Secondly, the few parts that do make sense are perverse and open to serious dispute (e.g. a technology timescale should start from the dawn of technology, not arbitrarily from the Industrial Revolution - a period in hisory and not a point in time in any case.)

  • weak delete as per Edison & Emeraude. Compiling a time scale is not necessarily OR, and these two articles are just attempts at forming categories and links. But they are very poor attempts. DGG 23:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Inadequately referenced, and, I suspect, OR. WMMartin 22:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
