Hi, not that I'm trying to start a content dispute, but in the Musket article couldn't we just say that there are differing opinions on who and when it was created? There are certainly cases of independent creation of essentially the same device and/or technology over history. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 19:22, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

There are a few things i would like to ask and cover.

First of all if you want say that there are differing opinions that is fine, but make it clear that it is theory and that most historians don't support it. And they honestly don't, I cant find any other historian other than this Needham guy who supports this.

Second, if we are going to treat this subject in this way shouldn't treat all subjects on Wiki the same? Under the pyramids article shouldn't we also state that some archaeologists believe that aliens built the pyramids? Or under the Age of the Earth article that there are some geologists who believe the Earth to be younger than 12,000 years? I know these are fringe theories, but so are allot of what Joseph Needham proposed. A man who was considered a sinophile and biased towards eastern culture.

Also how does Wiki messaging work? I am new to this. --Chuckdford 14:35 November 26, 2014
