Talk:Solgaleo (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
→Page protection and awful writing
| Line 19: | Line 19: | ||
Why is this page protected? What's the point of having a wiki if people can't edit it? The community is not large enough (as Wikipedia's is) to justify only letting admins edit a page, especially when the admins have such a terrible grasp of language. For example, "It may also involve Galileo, an ancient astronomer who believe the Earth rotated around the sun." Firstly, it was slightly better before [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Solgaleo_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2452876&oldid=2452708 this edit] (although the other changes in that edit were good). ''Incorporate'' is a much better word to use than ''involve''. Secondly, there is an obvious grammatical error in the sentence. And thirdly, Galileo didn't "believe" the Earth rotated around the Sun (which should start with a capital in that context); he ''knew'' the Earth rotated around the Sun. He worked it out using science. It's a fact and therefore is not a belief. Can someone please either make these changes or unprotect the page so that others can edit (which is the entire point of a wiki)?

::Actually, I think the reference to heliocentrism should be removed altogether. After all, it was Copernicus's theory first (and Aristarchus's idea long before that). Galileo just supported and defended it from criticism; he didn't really contribute to it. His relation to the Sun was really just his studies on sunspots. It could, however, be phrased "...{{wp|Galileo}}, a famous astronomer who studied the Sun." -- [[User:Kianglo|<span style="color:#6900CC"><b>KiAN</b></span><span style="color:#AA66FF">GLO</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Kianglo|<span style="color:#00b7eb"><u>TALK</u></span>]]</sup> 06:53, 4 June 2016 (UTC) | |||
