Talk:Cotehele clock

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I hope to add a fair amount to this article over the next 6 months. I am going to visit Cotehele in May, and then take it from there and try to date the clock more accurately.

If there is anyone out there with more information about this clock, especially about the known history, I would be very grateful.

Article 'multiple issue' warning flairs

[edit]

The article has several 'multiple issue' warning flairs which falsely give the impression that the data is unreliable - this seems unfair and innapropriate given the ammount of work that presumably Christian Dannemann has put into this article as above post. The article provides excellent detail about a little known and near-unique object of considerable significance- the data would be otherwise hard to get hold of. At present the issues are noted as follows

  • This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)
  • This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. Please help improve it to make it understandable to non-experts, without removing the technical details. (November 2011)
  • A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (November 2019)
  • This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2019)
  • This article possibly contains original research. (November 2019)
  • This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations.

As a non specialist I disagree that the article is 'too technical' - by comparison to other scientific/technical articles the description is clear and relevant. There are also appropriate references to literature for the object so this flag is also unjustified. Whoever flagged the above should address the issue - without dumbing down the content - or the unnecessary flags should be removed forthwith.

I've reduced them to one - there are no inline citations, which is an issue. CD has not contributed since 2012 unfortnately. Johnbod (talk) 15:29, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
