Talk:Science/Dissident

Semantic error parsing title

Using the standard of parsing "A/B" as "B of A", the title reads as "Science dissident of science", so is doppelt gemoppelt. I therefore renamed it "Science/Dissident". This sounds a bit like someone is dissenting from science as it is currently understood, in the direction of Rupert Sheldrake, so is not perfect, but it's an improvement. Another concern is that so many of those listed are COVID-19/Dissidents. Standard practice would be to make COVID-19/Dissident an example of Science/Dissident, but then perhaps the SMW framework could be used more creatively. It really depends on the range of people who we wish to populate the page(s) created. -- Robin (talk) 18:05, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for renaming the page (I saw this after creating it). My idea was that not all COVID-19/Dissidents are scientists. I wanted for example to exclude bloggers, many of whom are listed on the COVID-19/Dissidents page. Urban (talk) 02:07, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
