Talk:Thibault Damour

Section "Controversy" far too long
Same remark that I had already done on the French Wikipedia: the section public controversy is 3 times longer than the section on Damour's career. That controversy is about the model Janus, developed by two researchers only, Jean-Pierre Petit and d'Agostini, with a very low citation record. It cannot deserve so much space. As a side effect, all the citations in this article are to papers by Petit et al and none to Damour. This is preposterous and laughable. This controversy section shall be reduced to one phrase, as it has been done on the French Wikipedia. Oh, and neutrality conflict! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luc-j-bourhis (talk • contribs) 21:52, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

I would recommend to remove the controversy section entirely. Damour is a respected mathematician. The supposed controversy is about a crackpot theory, that no other independent scientists take seriously. The current wording implies a real controversy, but it is only controversial for two extremely low-quality, low-citation, scientists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theoretical1A9 (talk • contribs)
