One-sided research

[edit]

Krgonzalez recently significantly expanded the article with a rather detailed essay on research into summer melt. While that's commendable, I'm somewhat concerned that it seems to be a single research group's results that are covered in extreme detail, droning out everything else written by others about that subject. That seems to give that one research group rather undue weight. Besides, there are some tone issues. I'll thus try and shorten the coverage and better integrate it with the rest of the article.

Agreed. It is almost like original research as if Wikipedia is being used here to publish new findings. There is an inline citation here and here so the sources seem to be good -- my problem is the overall balance of the article which highly favors the Castleman research, and it would be much better to have secondary sources commenting about the Castleman research, explaining its significance, etc.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 16:34, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
