Discussion-free POV tag removed

[edit]

There was an instance of Template:POV dated November 2022 buried in the middle of the Carnot cycle section. Baffled, I tried to find any relevant discussion, and could not. If there had been discussion, I would've changed the tag to {{POV statement}} (or moved the existing tag to the top of the article if it was genuinely meant to apply to the entire thing), but without any indication of why neutrality might be disputed it appears to be a case of WP:DRIVEBY. As such, I simply removed it. -- Proginoskes (talk) 06:39, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Economics"

[edit]

The section on Entropy#Economics (near the bottom, under Interdisciplinary Applications) strikes me as very oddly written, and focusing a ton of effusive praise solely on the works of one Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. I think it'd be better if this could be toned down and made into a more generalized overview, instead of a section just crediting this one guy with being the brightest mind since sliced bread.

It was added by Gaeanautes (talk · contribs). He has also contributed over 80% of the article for Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen in the same style. It has been questioned on the talk page at Talk:Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen#NPOV in introduction. While Georgescu-Roegen is very distinguished in his field, the article prose makes overly use of WP:PUFFERY and the WP:TONE is a too dramatic rather then academic.

[edit]

Max Planck derived the equation, not Boltzmann, and Max Planck introduced the Boltzmann constant, not Boltzmann. 90.154.71.24 (talk) 18:02, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please, if you can support this assertion (which I do not doubt), why don't you edit the page? Gpsanimator (talk) 22:43, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
