PeR, I just want to thank you for your intervention. I'm especially grateful since you and I got off to a particularly bad start. You put my case very well, and I'm also grateful to Ned Scott for putting in another appeal on my behalf which has since been rejected. I don't intend to appeal again. But I'll take this as an opportunity to explain to you what my plan was, because I genuinely would like to see this centrifugal force issue resolved.
Fugal, at the moment, would appear to be in agreement with me, but that may not always be so. However, having said that, I have no intention in engaging in any further edit wars. I genuinely believed that I could work with Fugal to get the matter sorted out.
Fugal appears to be agreeing with me that centrifugal force is not something which is confined to the topic of rotating frames. I was going to point out to him however that his opponents may put it to him that a stationary object experiences centrifugal force as observed from a rotating frame of reference, and that in polar coordinates there would be no such centrifugal force acting. I wanted to see what his response would be. At any rate, I was going to state that I had a view on the matter and that there is literature on the matter supporting both my point of view and the point of view of my opponents, and that as such, a section on 'rotating frames' should avoid this controversy altogether.
I wasn't going to go back on the main page myself. I was merely going to suggest that 'rotating frames' and 'reactive centrifugal force' should form special sections in a single unified centrifugal force article. David Tombe 81.156.1.34 (talk) 14:17, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
