I've been thinking about natures of claims recently: scientific claims vs. historical claims.
I've been thinking about natures of claims recently: scientific claims vs. historical claims.
I realized that the evidence for historical claims (as well as archaeological, paleontological claims) is never more abundant than in the present time (i.e. before the event or thing becomes a matter of history). The amount of available evidence to be discovered is inversely proportional to the passage of time; as time passes, the evidence of some forms of existence disappear, disintegrate. But evidence for scientific claims can be reproduced by the methods of science; the amount of evidence to be discovered is almost unlimited (although we have finite resources), because the experiment can be made again and again to confirm the results.

Careful when editing any article that begins with Template: ... these things have consequences on the whole encyclopedia. So for instance your guide to the meaning of claims was showing up in all articles using the Claim Template. I added noinclude tags around your text so it just shows at the template page but not in the other pages. Generally it will be preferable for you to start entirely new pages that start with Editing:TitleofPage if you'd like to start setting up the structure for our review standards.

Understood. Thanks for the instruction. Cyanide Taste Sampler

Awesome work with the Editing namespace. You've split up very small subjects here so perhaps you'll want to make a general guide in a single page that refers to these subpages as subsections maybe. JFG (talk) 01:48, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
