That was the publication date for the relevant web page - I added it because it contrasts with the conduct of the society. Minor point, so I removed it because of the reviewer's copyright concerns, though it might well have been justifiable as commentary / review / fair use. Sorry if that was unclear or bad form. - Notmyopinion (talk) 19:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

  • Copyright: Red x.svg Failed: ""Take nobody's word for it", dates back to 1663, and is an expression of the determination of the Fellows to withstand the domination of authority... and to verify all statements by an appeal to facts determined by experiment. " - Copy/paste from http://royalsociety.org/page.asp?id=6186
  • Newsworthiness: Artículo bueno.svg Passed
  • Verifiability: Artículo bueno.svg Passed
  • NPOV: Artículo bueno.svg Passed
  • Style: Red x.svg Failed: Is "Creation should not be taught, he said, but if it comes up, teachers should be encouraged to explain the science of evolution, and at least make sure that students understand that the word "theory" does not simply mean a hypothesis about the way things might work, but a rigorously supported system of ideas that fit with the available evidence." a quote? If so it should be in quotes. Also article lacks Categories.

Comments by reviewer: Getting close to the stale mark. Also why is the Societies motto there? --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 06:37, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

The article should be switched from {{Review}} to {{tasks|copyvio|mos|re-review}}, if it has not already been done, and these issues should be addressed.

It is recommended that the appropriate templates be added to the article itself, if applicable. This talk page should be updated with subsequent reviews.


Removed problematic copyright. Worked at style of extracts from Prof's reported speech to make it less unwieldy.

I think the story is important because it concerns academic freedom and a serious educational controversy in both the UK and USA. - Notmyopinion (talk) 19:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
