Cautionary note[edit]

Editors should be aware that there was a sensationalist newspaper article on Lathe published in 2002. This was later retracted due to a paucity of facts but not before being syndicated to a number of other publications. Please exercise due caution.

Reply 18-MAY-2019[edit]

As far as requests to re-word information, this needs to be done by the requesting editor in the form of "Change x to y using z". This should include the verbatim text from whichever part of the prose which the affected citation being changed covers.

Change x to y using z


x	A verbatim description of the old text to be removed from the article (if any)
y	A verbatim description of the new text to be added to the article (if any)
z	A reference which verifies the requested change

Example edit request:

Please change:

The Sun's diameter is 25 miles.

↑ This is x ↑

to read as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles.

↑ This is y ↑

using as a reference:

Harinath, Paramjit (2019). The Sun. Academic Press. p. 1.

↑ This is z ↑

As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, requests such as these are generally expected to be structured in this manner. FYI.

External References - Broken Links[edit]

Some of the external links in the bottom of the article are broken (e.g. the ones linking to New Scientist, the ones linking to Times). Please can someone have a look at those links and have them fixed. I gave it a quick try to edit, but, I do not want to link incorrectly. Thanks Ktin (talk) 03:59, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
