Warning: duplicate archive configs
[edit]This page has duplicate archive config definitions: MiszaBot/config and HBC Archive Indexerbot. This should be fixed. Mathglot (talk) 17:07, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think that's a mistake: Lowercase sigmabot III doesn't create an index page, and so if someone wants to have an index they need to use another bot to do that. The HBC Archive Indexerbot config shouldn't mess with archiving, it just creates this index page. Tollens (talk) 01:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Mainstream?
[edit]An indication that cold fusion (aka LENR, low-energy nuclear reaction) is becoming mainstream?

- No. Scientific Research Publishing is predatory. --Hob Gadling (talk) 11:33, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Btw, i noticed that scirp.org was on the "Spam Blacklist", so i couldn't link to it; but i got around that by using "nowiki" to prevent the URL from being linked. I didn't know why the website was on the spam list. Solomonfromfinland (talk) 03:51, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Wordy
[edit]The hatnote says, "This article is about the Fleischmann–Pons claims of nuclear fusion at room temperature, and subsequent research. For the original use of the term "cold fusion", see muon-catalyzed fusion. [...]" These first two sentences seem a bit wordy. How can we shorten them? Solomonfromfinland (talk) 05:25, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think they really can be shortened, nor do they need to be. Both of them are simple and direct sentences in the standard fashion for disambiguation notes. Red Rock Canyon (talk) 12:57, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
