[edit] Vandalism
There seem to be some persistent vandalism activity in this article - should it be better protected ? TGCP (talk) 08:16, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
- I agree, and have requested semi-protection here at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for protection. -84user (talk) 21:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Horrible sentence
I read this three times and still don't understand it:
In his De nova stella of 1573, he destroyed the theory of the celestial spheres with precision measurements that showed the celestial heavens were not immutable as previously assumed by Aristotle and Ptolemy, but by the lack of parallax, new stars (now known as novae or supernovae), in particular that of 1572, were not "atmospheric" tail-less comets but occurred above the atmosphere and moon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.14.106 (talk) 05:15, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Yes, that is terrible. I made some edits to simplify it. People may revert or re-edit as they please, of course.MorbidAnatomy (talk) 21:08, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- That's a big improvement, nice -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:11, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Still needs more work, such as getting the facts straight. 99.65.198.174 (talk) 04:13, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
How is his name correctly pronounced? English people say /ˈtaɪ.koʊ brɑː/ while Czechs say it /ˈtɪxo ˈbraɦɛ/. I doubt either of these are correct, does anyone here know the Danish pronunciation? - filelakeshoe 17:06, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Is "Manufactories" a word?
The third paragraph includes the sentence "Something of an autocrat on the island he nevertheless founded manufactories such as paper-making to provide material for printing his results."
Is "manufactories" a real word? I don't think it is.

- [1] [2] [3] [4] I think so. Connormah (talk) 05:32, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, it's a real word. It means "a place where a product is manufactured" according to the OED. MidlandLinda (talk) 14:13, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
