Linear systems section is too too long.

[edit]

Per WP:NOTTEXTBOOK, the section on linear systems should be cut down, I suggest to one example. Johnjbarton (talk) 22:38, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original research tag for Example section

[edit]

As of June 15, 2024, 'Example' section bears the 'original research' tag. However, I feel the content in this section is reasonable and widely known to most physical scientists and engineers. There is no original research, and it is questionable why citation is needed here (and not other places where very detailed and technical points are described under this general topic). If someone who has the privileges for or knowledge about the process of removing the tag, please initiate it. If someone agrees or disagrees with me, please comment.

The policy on verifiability applies to any content that might be challenged by any editor, without regard for their level of expertise. To say it another way, without references any editor is free to delete content. I routinely edit articles and delete unsourced content I don't understand. I find that even editors with expertise include material that is based on "experience" or "hearsay" but which turns out to be incorrect or out of context when one looks into references.
Having said that, you can remove the tag at any time. Since it was tagged recently your approach of opening a Topic first is great however. I changed it to "more citations needed". The swing set pendulum isn't really an issue but it does make very specific claims about mechanism. The other examples need citations.
@Volunteer Marek added the tag and may have addition input. Johnjbarton (talk) 03:38, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

[edit]

Resonance should be a topic that is common enough it can easily be explained to the layperson but the lede of this article just about gave me a stroke. CarlStrokes (talk) 05:40, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
