Talk:Compact Muon Solenoid

Subject Matter Dispute
The article text included a dispute about the subject matter, which I've moved here, as editorial discussion is for the talk page, not the article body:

The sentence "producing a rare particle, such as a Higgs boson" proves this article was not written and checked by physicists, despiste ip are from cern.ch domain. Ask the CMS collaboration to wrote a good article or add just a link to their web site!

"Compact" ?
The "Compact" in "Compact Muon Solenoid" seems inconsistent with the actual huge size of the device. I read an explanation of why it is called compact somewhere, but the name still makes me laugh. I wasn't able to find the explanation again today, but it seems like a bit of trivia that would address the question if others are puzzled by the word "compact" too. If I turn up the explanation again, I'll add it to the article, and I'd be pleased if anyone else who might find it adds it to the article too. — 50.46.156.208 (talk) 08:44, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Updates??
The Peter Higgs and Higgs boson pages have been updated following the July 4, 2012 announcement. We're also missing a page on Joe Incandela. Looks like he's going to be one of the people heading for a Nobel for this. 99.11.160.111 (talk) 07:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Not consistent title
Shouldn't the article be titled CMS experiment, consistently with every other CERN experiment? (ATLAS experiment, ALICE experiment. and so on) --Datolo12 (talk) 08:27, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I support that. No one uses the long version of CMS outside of a few official documents maybe. --mfb (talk) 08:52, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
