homoeopathy

Sir, Before writing in wikipedia you have to be thorough about the subject which you are going to publish... Is homoeopathy a placebo??? Do you have any experience with homoeopathy??? There are many allopaths(physicians of modern medicine) now practising homoeopathy... Lakhs of new patients are coming to homoeopathy day by day... Many allopaths are referring patients to homoeopathic doctors which they couldn't manage... Its all because this system of meficine could give cure to the patients rapidly and in short duration and also without any side effects .... There are many things in the world which science couldn't explain... Eg: sweet taste... Can you explain scientifically what is sweet...?? No you can't... You can feel it only... In the same way there are many things in the world which we can't give scientific explanation... Instead we can feel it only... Since science and technology is not advanced enough to explain homoeopathy like sweet taste,that doesn't mean that homeopathy or sweet taste is not true.... Acceptance of things only when science could give explanation means we have to say many things are wrong.... Is that possible sir...?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.243.37.83 (talk) 01:56, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Although I do not think that homeopathy could possibly work except for placebo, I base may edits on Misplaced Pages on the fact that no reliable source says that it might work. Because of WP:FRINGE, reliable sources do not include peer-reviewed works where the "peers" are homeopaths. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

conspiracy theory misleading

The mere fact that the article uses the words conspiracy theory exposes the immediate nature of an agenda to mislead, while at the same time trying to discredit any logical discourse into the subject itself. Words of this nature such as conspiracy theory belong on fox news, not here. Aoleon sound.

To Aoleonsound (talk · contribs): Please provide a link to the article to which you are referring. JRSpriggs (talk) 11:42, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Exponentiation

I completely respect your revision, and offer only this by way of reconsideration: My two cents are that the mental arithmatic allows people to do complex calculations of endless scope in their heads, that ability is almost as powerful as exponents themselves. Years ago, when I was using these things a great deal I would have appreciated the knowledge. It seems a powerful additin to the tool. Respectfully requested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GESICC (talkcontribs) 22:32, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

2014

I have to distil everything of import that happened this year into a few sentences. Any ideas of what to include? Serendious 17:27, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I found my car keys! Hooray! NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 21:29, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
Many media have year-end stories with titles like "2014 in review" or "the big stories of the year". Try reading several of these and make a list of topics which are mentioned in two or more such reviews. Or go back over Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost and look at the "Traffic report" (for weeks in 2014) to see what our readers were interested in. The difficulty maybe whittling the list down to just a few topics. I would certainly include the Ebola epidemic and the rise of the Islamic State. JRSpriggs (talk) 01:09, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Yes, those two plus the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Crimea) and subsequent rewarming of the Cold War. Perhaps also the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 03:50, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
