Conflict of interest issues

A significant portion of this article was written by @Khassan du:. They are also the lead author on nearly half of the references. They have been notified, but I thought I'd raise the issue here for visibility. It doesn't seem egregious self-promotion, but having a single expert write the article means we should be careful of undue weight. See WP:SELFCITE. Forbes72 (talk) 20:57, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History

The history section is misleading. Dynamic scaling applies to a broad class of physics problems, and the idea is older than the Vicsek-Family proposal, which to my understanding just extends preexisting ideas. I think one could date critical dynamics back to work on critical slowing down by van Hove and Landau-Khalatnikov in the 50s. Most importantly, one should definitely include Hohenberg-Halperin (1977, [1]) and their model classification when discussing the history of the idea. --ThomasBissinger (talk) 09:52, 2 January 2022 (UTC) Done! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:CB:AF2B:4476:6C4F:9BE4:2D71:272C (talk) 14:19, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
