i don't understand what {{{1}}} means...

Actually, thats a quite an amuzing question. You could say that {{{1}}} means the article was the victim of a tag&dash, which should occasionally get the tagger banned for a day.  :) Nyarlathotep 19:25, 15 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

By the way in case the origional poster is still wondering, {{{1}}} means that the person who tagged disn't fill out the reason. Bawolff ☺☻ 00:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Not news

[edit]

Its clear that this webbased fourm (wikipedia) will never be as consise and factual as mainstream publications. Wikipedia has a basic flaw that makes submitted articles that rely on "other " published works ( often innacurate themselfs ) Until thats addressed wikipedia will allways be open to such remarks

nah, you are wrong. ALL human knowledge is based on potentially flawed knowledge. As this shows even "mainstream publications" are frequently flawed. I knew this, just wish more people realised that errors in an encyclopedia are far more common than the think (and certainly are not never, like some believe!) 21:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC) Mathmo[1]

Not a study

[edit]

Nature self-titled it an 'investigation,' because neither they, nor anyone else in the scientific community, consider it a scientific study. 141.156.222.224 06:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
