This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Zundark (talk | contribs) at 20:17, 2 September 2005 (Talk:Quasar, Redshifts and Controversies moved to Talk:Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Why posit a link to an article to be called "bad mathematics"? Unless its the name of a rock band or something, "bad mathematics" is no more notable a subject of its own article than bad gymnastics or bad history, both of which will also likely stay red.

I'm removing the brackets from this story.

Reportedly, some of Arp's calculations seem to be simply "bad mathematics".

Quasar or Quasars?

I think the correct title of the book is "Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies", that is, Quasars not Quasar. A Google search shows 343 hits for "Quasar, Redshifts and Controversies" - but on the first two Google pages, I couldn't find a single hit that wasn't either quoting this review verbatim, or just citing the book without commenting on it. There are 773 Google hits for "Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies", including Amazon.com and other booksellers, who presumably have a copy of the book on hand.

Therefore, I suggest that this page be renamed "Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies". As with all Wikipedia moves, anyone searching for, or linking to the old title, will be redirected to the new one. Mentions of the book throughout Wikipedia should also have an "s" added.
