[edit] Requested move

Wick effect exists as a redirect to Spontaneous human combustion, though the latter already contains links to The wick effect. —Psychonaut 13:40, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

I have left a note on an admin's (User talk:Linuxbeak) talk page to see if we can get this done. Andreww 07:51, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I removed the following example from the article:

"In an experiment conducted for a cable television program, a pig's body was wraped in a blanket and placed in a furnished room. The body took some time to ignite and burned at a very high tempature with low flames. The heat collect at the top of the room and melted a television. The flames caused very little damage to the surroundings, and the body burned for a number of hours befor it was extinguished and examined. On examination it was observed that the flesh and bones in the burned portion had been destroyed."

As stands, it is unverifiable. At the very least, the show on which this experiment aired should be mentioned (by name and either episode number or date).

The article as a whole needs more references as well. --L33tminion (talk) 18:35, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

I think I saw the program when it was first shown on the BBC - there is an rather old news page here and the show was called QED, but I don't know the name of the episode or the exact date. Maybe we should refer to the BBC news website. Andreww 04:19, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
