Does this article need to be updated?[edit]

It seems that an older theory (described here on Wikipedia) was recently proven incorrect. Jarble (talk) 05:42, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Sandcherry, I added the Wiki Ed template back to the talk page. We add the template so the Wiki community can easily identify articles that students in our program are working on, and can access the course page with information to the assigned Wiki Expert, instructor, etc. Lemme know if you'd like to chat more about this, and always feel free to ping me for anything related to our students. Thanks! Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:23, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing statement in "Osmosis" section[edit]

The article is locked to prevent vandalism (?), so I can't do anything to fix this. The second paragraph in the "Osmosis" section begins with a confusing statement:

> RO differs from filtration in that the mechanism of fluid flow is reversed, as the solvent crosses membrane, leaving the solute behind.

I might be misunderstanding (in which case this could be clarified), but I think this is incorrect and might have been intended to read "RO differs from forward osmosis", referring to the subject of the first paragraph. Then again, the rest of the paragraph talks about other classes of filtration, so maybe the wording is intentional (and perhaps wrong?). 99.230.147.237 (talk) 03:14, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with User 99.230.147.237. The above sentence doesn't make sense. In filtration, the solvent also crosses the membrane, leaving the solute behind. --202.28.35.193 (talk) 03:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Please provide additional, reliable sources for this edit request. Currently Guinness World Records has a "no consensus" rating at WP:RSPSOURCES, with concerns about using them to establish notability and about paid coverage. Given these concerns, I'm not sure it's the best source to verify a statement like this, but hopefully other reliable sources exist that can. -- Pinchme123 (talk) 05:08, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
