Talk:Square Kilometre Array

SKA Design

need to add that it will use dielectric lenses to collect the signal.

Per the SKADS, measurements of the array configuration are innaccurate. Return to main website for design details.

The SKA Reference Design is now published, and is based around small (10-15m), plus aperture-array tiles for the lowest frequencies. There are no longer any plans to use dielectric lenses (February 2007).—Preceding unsigned comment added by DC Astro (talk • contribs)

Bold statement

"The SKA is a global collaboration of 20 countries which will revolutionise our understanding of the Universe by providing answers to fundamental questions about its origin and evolution."

Looks like advertising to me. To state this prediction as a fact is not encyclopedia-like. Such a prediction I think should only be included if several peer reviewed articles would proof that these results would be inevitable, and then some.

Will change to "The SKA is a global collaboration of 20 countries which may provide answers to fundamental questions about its origin and evolution."

This still needs citation I guess, maybe it can be removed altogether. ABMvandeBult (talk) 11:44, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Good call, in my opinion. --Pgallert (talk) 13:53, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

"SKA Science" sounds like advertising

The SKA science section sounds like advocacy for the array. E.g. "it will reveal the role of cosmic magnetism", "it will then be revealed whether Einstein was right", etc. Doesn't fit in an encyclopedia.128.135.100.102 (talk) 04:31, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Y Done Changed "SKA Science" to "Key projects".

Doesn't fit in an encyclopedia ?

This article describes a huge world-wide project which still is in its planning stage. It's natural that statements about the goals and results are impossible to verify until the telescopes is in full operation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rainer Beck (talk • contribs) 19:57, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Re-assessed article importance to mid

Given the considerable scope and participation of this project, I have raised the article's importance to WP:Astronomy to mid. If the claims made by its designers prove to be true or if more independent sources emerge supporting their claims, I think we should raise the importance to high. --User:DiscipleOfKnowledge (talk) 03:00, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
