Declining this request, as it doesn't appear to be specific in what changes should be made. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 22:05, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
(Understanding how large scientific collaborations work and also explaining the need and perspective of why they are important) Note: For further explanations 117.194.65.36 (talk) 02:33, 17 July 2017 (UTC) Explanations: This item should be added to elaborate on the understanding how large scale scientific collaborations work and how a contribution from indian side has been included and explained as an example. It is important to be included in the "INDIAN CONTRIBUTION" list for scientific discoveries. 103.238.192.154 (talk) 12:07, 17 July 2017 (UTC) This will enable the readers to know more about collborative science as more inputs were needed by [User:Jd02022092|jd22292] which I have provided as much as I can above. 117.194.39.228 (talk) 12:52, 30 July 2017 (UTC) 202.142.113.165 (talk) 11:59, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Misspelling of Gurutvākarṣaṇ edit
I see that my correction of the misspelling has been undone on the basis of "spelling per source", but that's not warranted. The article doesn't include a quote, so there's no need to perpetuate the author's misspelling or typo. Doesn't this article already have more than enough misspellings? xD
Nor is it a mere matter of alternate transliteration. Even by the convention that "gruhtvaakarshan" seems to follow, the proper spelling would be 'gurutvaakarshan'. The point is that a 'u' has been dropped and an 'h' added.
The word is a Sanskrit compound, gurutvā-karṣaṇam, meaning roughly "pulling by weight". One can confirm with any good Hindi or Sanskrit lexicon the meaning of the two elements, if not the complete compound. In fact I just checked Google translate, and even that poor source, selecting for Hindi, returns "gravity" for 'gurutvākarṣaṇ'. (Copy and paste गुरुत्वाकर्षण if you wish to try Google's translator.)
It stuck out immediately when I read the article, because Sanskrit doesn't allow the consonant cluster 'ht'.
Numbers edit
Numbers are invention not discovery... 2402:3A80:1E8C:CE7:0:C:5079:3801 (talk) 07:25, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Dubious Material: Musical Notation edit
Musical notation is cited as a discovery in 1200 BCE, but Musical notation cites examples back to 1400 BCE in Mesopotamia. In addition, evidence of the use of a technology does not mean the technology was invented there; it might have been imported. DenverCoder9 (talk) 22:22, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
TATA and BHEL advertisements edit
There are many "inventions" that appear to be advertisements for commercial providers, especially TATA and BHEL. DenverCoder9 (talk) 22:23, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
