This is essentially a TV Tropes page
I suggest that the entire "Modern" section of this page should be cut. If there's anything in that section that isn't duplicated here (which is unlikely), move it over. Unknownlight (talk) 03:12, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Did Robert Merton really coin the expression?
Acoording to the article he did, or at least he is credited with it. But how about this then (from 1841)? Or this (from 1854)? Marrakech1 (talk) 14:38, 13 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Good find. Cite as 1841 article Mathglot (talk) 10:08, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Your complaints about the article at the top
Either research and put in the references yourself, or stop complaining and making this article unreadable.

Your quality assurance nazis have run amuck. It is easy to pick at and dismiss work because of format. It is extremely difficult to create the content in the first place.

Maybe that is why the original content folks are disappearing. Once the "not notable" and pickiness folks start criticising and piling on ... it is not worth tangling with them.

Have a nice day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.67.198.194 (talk) 17:26, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
