Purpose

This is a work in progress based on the discussions at [1]. It is intended to build a framework on which to create individual articles on the individual priority disputes, as well as a framework for an article "scientific priority disputes". JianLi 18:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT IS A PRIORITY DISPUTE?

Please tell. --The Transhumanist 11:28, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Technology & inventions

I'm not sure about breaking out technology (radio, TV, telephone, light bulb) to a separate list – there are too many borderline cases. MRI, for instance, is clearly technology but got a Nobel Prize, so it's science. Only the title of the article may be somewhat misleading right now. Rl 15:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ATM

I'm not sure whether I should add the ATM, so I leave it here: Luther George Simjian, John Shepherd-Barron, Donald Wetzel - an ATM isn't really science, it's more "just an invention". --Tilman 18:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is IT?

What about tesla VS edison? What about the guy that said that HIV was NOT the cause of aids? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SlickWillyLovesSex (talk • contribs) 06:34, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright?

"Nevertheless, the calculus dispute between Leibniz and Newton only calmed down when the copyright protection of controversial invented calculus methods had expired." What does this sentence mean? Is it implying that differential calculus was, for a time, under a copyright?! And what is the nonsense about incomes from calculus textbooks?! 122.57.100.151 (talk) 07:01, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. The whole section didn't make sense. I removed it. Rl (talk) 08:12, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Descartes and Snell

I think that they discovered refraction of light independently. In France they call it "La loi de Descartes" but in american schools I noticed they call it "Snell's law", but I am not an expert on the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.172.124.198 (talk) 07:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cite

This article needs citations, and it currently doesn't have any.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 03:40, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chemical Bond dispute?

I couldn't find evidence of any "dispute" on the discovery of chemical bonds. I found evidence that (some) of the men mentioned collaborated together on forming theories behind chemical bonds, but they did not work independently of each other. There was no citation to back this up. I removed it and instead added the periodic table, as that has that actual evidence of a priority dispute. Please educate me if I was mistaken.
