I just looked at your user page, and thought that you might find this helpful:

[edit] A small suggestion

You might prefer this:

{{user label top |theme=warm |infotext=Languages in which I contribute (boxes have tooltips)}}
{{User label en}}
{{User label fr}}
{{User label nl}}
{{user label bottom}}

{{user label top |theme=warm |infotext=Fields of interest}}
{{User label WPPhysics}}
{{user label bottom}}

I would change it for you, but am not sure if you prefer it... Jakew 13:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, an infotext as parameter is indeed smart Arjen Dijksman 14:32, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roger Balian

His publication is not public. Actually, I don't care about the arguments. Roger Balian is member of the Académie des sciences, and had a long carrier in the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique. AFAIK, he is the most qualified physicist who wrote a commentary about Allais's interpretation on Miller's results. Far beyond Allais himself. Barraki 10:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Your comment seems to be based on the simplistic and obviously faulty assumption that scientists can be ranked as on a ladder (quotation from The Trouble with Physics, chapter 19 How Science Really works, Lee Smolin). I am really interested in Roger Balian's note, if this could help us to shed light on how we should interpretate Maurice Allais' analysis. Arjen Dijksman 16:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
We should interpretate? You are speaking about Wikipédia? Please remember WP:OR. Well, elseway, you can contact Jean.Gunther AROBASE wanadoo.fr to ask him if he has an electronic copy of this article. He made a critic of his former economy teacher here: [1]. Barraki 12:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
That's exactly what I mean, remembering the WP:OR sentence: Interpretations and syntheses must be attributed to reliable sources that make these interpretations and syntheses. If Balian's interpretation is worthwhile, we should mention it on wikipedia. Thanks for the contact tip. Arjen Dijksman 21:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
But I don't think you have to evaluate if Bailan's interpretation is worthwhile. Barraki 22:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
