Talk:Ice age
Actually Sourcing the Article
Ames, we don't post opinion as fact here. If you would like to present factual evidence here on the talk page then we can work off it and improve this entry.
For starters, this entry should denate that the Ice Age is a relatively recent theory, and explain why it developed.--Aschlafly 11:12, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
- Andy, National Geographic is a scientific journal. It's not opinion, and you can't call it opinion just because you don't like it. I'm reverting with explanation & categorization of the dispute.-AmesGyo! 11:19, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
- Ames, we've been round the track several times before on this. Journalists' opinions are not to be restated here as fact. National Geographic is journalism, if you didn't notice.--Aschlafly 12:14, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
National Geographic is popularized science - it's still science. I didn't see you having any citations for your statements. Please don't patronize me, either, by saying I didn't "discuss" it first - you deleted the comments that I made so it looked like I hadn't discussed it! If you actually want to settle this objectively, please add some real, scientific citations to your comments on the article. I'll wait until you've had a chance to do so until I revert or perform any other action.
I'd like to also note that you can't make the facts go away by calling the "opinions," reverting, locking & blocking. You can just make the facts go away from you. To think of an educator employing such draconian tactics to hide science from his students!-AmesGyo! 12:38, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
- I have to agree, if AiG is considered an acceptable source on this site, then the National Geographic has to be considered reliable as well: it's one of the most distinguished and respected scientific journals in the world.Middle Man
- So do you think it's fair to revert it, MiddleMan?-AmesGyo! 12:55, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
You mean putting the NGC link back? Yes, of course. If the linked article is relevant to this topic it should be included, even if it does not agree with Mr. Schlafy's view.
