User:Robertinventor/Wikipedia mistakes or omissions

As I browse I notice mistakes and omissions in Wikipedia. Normally I'd just fix them or add a note to the talk page. Can't any more, since I'm indef blocked. But I might as well take a note of them in case I ever am unblocked. I can appeal six months from now but don't currently plan to do so.

Noticed after I was blocked

 * Gamma-ray_burst Knowledge of GRBs, however, is from metal-poor galaxies of former epochs of the universe's evolution, and it is impossible to directly extrapolate to encompass more evolved galaxies and stellar environments with a higher metallicity, such as the Milky Way.


 * This is about a decade out of date. The closest gamma ray burst observed was 140 million light years away, not the billions of light years away implied by "former epoch".


 * AT2018cow "As of 29 September 2018, AT2018cow has been explained in various ways, including as a type Ic supernova, a gamma-ray burst, an interaction between a white dwarf and black hole, and as a magnetar. " which correctly summarizes their source, except the source is dated 28th September. Minor error.


 * Kevin_Anderson_(scientist) A bit out of date, more recent paper on his current views:

for:
 * Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings add cite for "Observations of Apollo 11" by Sky and Telescope magazine, November 1969, pp. 358–59.


 * Dew_point - says When the temperature is below the freezing point of water, the dew point is called the frost point, as frost is formed rather than dew - frost point and dew point can sometimes differ

- seems strange q=%22Researchers+Blow+Hot+and+Cold+Over+Armageddon%22&btnG=] and another online post from 2002 that just talks about increased UV not warming https://web.archive.org/web/20110814051805/http://www3.wooster.edu/history/jgates/book-ch11.html
 * History_of_SpaceX doesn't mention the first three rocket failures
 * Lunar_theory Doesn't talk about variation in ellipticity of the lunar orbit
 * 2010_AU118 NEODyS lists the nominal 20 October 2020 Earth distance as 3 AU (450,000,000 km; 280,000,000 mi).[7]
 * Nuclear_winter Doesn't seem well sourced. Cites an article in New Scientist that doesn't seem to exist. [https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&
 * Copernicus_(lunar_crater) - should say something about impactor studies Formd as a result of an impactor perhaps about 7 km in diameter.

Corrections I suggested on talk pages before I was blocked - not yet done

 * Wikipedia:Talk:Clathrate_gun_hypothesis - many mistakes in this article - but to fix them would be a major edit and the editor who made the mistakes does not accept that they are errors.
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Goldfish To mention popular belief about goldfish and that it is incorrect
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Infrared_vision suggestion for new section about animals with infrared vision
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Copyright_law_of_the_European_Union - should mention impact on Wikipedia
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Human_overpopulation should mention that middle of the range projection is to level off naturally and (if we can find sources) should also have criticism of idea that space settlement can solve exponential population growth - it can't do that indefinitely, just delay the problems.
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Apparent_magnitude 31.5 seems a typo surely is 31.2
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Nuclear_electromagnetic_pulse article is out of date
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Halton_Arp should say theory is out of date
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Steady_state_model - should mention the historical solution to Olber's paradox for the Steady State model.
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Great_Oxygenation_Event Should mention evidence for a mass extinction is not strong and also Wikipedia:Talk:Extinction_event
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Paleoclimatology should mention that earlier atmosphere could have been different in pressure - either lower or higher
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Google_Translator_Toolkit - should say that adding new translations is no longer supported

Implemented fixes after talk page mention
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Lagrange_point_colonization
 * Wikipedia:Talk:List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events/Archives/2018/February
 * Wikipedia:Talk:WR_104

Other editor thinks shouldn't do edit
 * Wikipedia:Talk:Coral_reef
