Bridgeman and Baur seem to be arguing that there is no such thing as Scientific Method. As far as I can see, apart from Feynman, only Simanek mentions textbooksRjm at sleepers (talk) 08:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Hi there, I have reviewed this article against the good article criteria and I am not prepared to pass the article for GA immediately, as I think it requires quite substantial work. To assit with this, I have listed below the principle problems which prevent this article from achieving GA status. The article now has seven days to address these issues, and should the contributors disagree with my comments then please indicate below why you disagree and suggest a solution, compromise or explanation. Further time will be granted if a concerted effort is being made to address the problems, and as long as somebody is genuinely trying to deal with the issues raised then I will not fail the article. I am aware that my standards are quite high, but I feel that an article deserves as thorough a review as possible when applying for GA and that a tough review process here is an important stepping stone to future FAC attempts. Please do not take offence at anything I have said, nothing is meant personally and maliciously and if anyone feels aggrieved then please notify me at once and I will attempt to clarify the comments in question. Finally, should anyone disagree with my review or eventual decision then please take the article to WP:GAR to allow a wider selection of editors to comment on the issues discussed here. Well done on the work so far.--Jackyd101 (talk) 02:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Issues preventing promotion

 * It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:

Main text:
 * "the court case between the two regicides in the 1650s" - you are getting way ahead of yourself. At this stage of the text the reader doesn't know who was a regicide or even why, either give more context or save this information for further down the article.
 * Don't use euphamisms like "feathering his own nest" unless they are part of a direct quote. They don't make sense to many foreign readers.
 * Although its not something that will fail the article alone, I don't get any real sense of what James Temple was like as a person - the facts are quite dry. Are there any additional anectdotes or quotes that would allow a reader to get a better sense of the kind of man he was?


 * Please explain how the following source conforms to WP:RS and if it does not then please replace it with a source that does. www.british-civil-wars.co.uk

Career
Bingley came to Thurrock from Surrey as Museum Assistant in 1966 after serving as a Junior Lecturer with the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. He was appointed the Borough's first Curator in 1975, designing and fitting out the museum in the Thameside Complex. He was editor of Panorama, The journal of the Thurrock Local History Society for ten years. Bingley was a keen archaeologist and conducted an emergency excavation during the restoration of the Woolmarket at Horndon-on-the-Hill.

His Thurrock research included establishing the location of the site at which Queen Elizabeth I gave her Armada speech.

In his annotations to the diary of Martha Randall he "plays shadow to the daily activities of farmer's daughter, Martha Randall of Orsett, during her 4 years' diary keeping (1858-61). He has managed to identify most of the nearly 200 - contemporary people about whom she speaks (frequently by mere intials) and leads us through her times with the sure hand of one who knows the local countryside and its old family structures in surprising detail."

He was born, Randal Bingley Doyle but changed his name.
