Funny Acronym

Given the more conversational and accessible tone that wiki likes to deal with, this page seems particularly clinical and dances around the fact that some undergrads chose PENIS as a funny acronym. Alex Bradner (talk) 16:25, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not undergrads - they were grad students. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.176.84 (talk) 02:26, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article really should mention the acronym; I know Alex Pines was very proud of it when he invented the technique. 207.237.243.185 (talk) 00:47, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

sooo. . . why exactly do we want to make atoms spin at different rates? (hint, hint) 131.151.90.222 (talk) 09:16, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck with all you people?

I've had enough with all this sh*t. You talk about it, but nothing happens. I am making the acronym edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ObiwanLostToBarney (talk • contribs) 23:59, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Acronym

I've reinstated the recent re-addition of the acronym, since I believe it to have been a good-faith edit. Clearly, looking at the talk page and the article history, it seems to have been a topic of some debate. The simple fact is that Wikipedia is not censored, and on any other article, a relevant acronym would be cited; we should do the same on this one. – RobinHood70 ^talk 19:13, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Should "cross-polarization" redirect here?

The article mentions that this technique is "more commonly known" as cross-polarization, though at the moment, that term doesn't redirect to this article. I'm not an expert on this field, so do any of you think it should redirect here? 128.151.150.17 (talk) 18:45, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe there should be a disambiguation or hatnote to distinguish between this article and Polarized light microscopy, which is where Cross-polarized light currently redirects. (That is, either "cross-polarization" should be a disambiguation page, or it should redirect to one or the other article with a hatnote placed at the target.) --SoledadKabocha (talk) 05:48, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear induction spectroscopy

In addition to being called Cross-Polarization, I believe I've also seen the "PE" dropped from this technique's name. However, I'm not an expert in this field. Can someone confirm (or refute) that "PENIS" is sometimes just "NIS"?
