As User:Lethe pointed out, Shankland's analysis of Miller's experiment is widely accepted by mainstream physicists. The very few who question it are a tiny fringe minority; such arguments have not even been published in prestigious peer-reviewed journals, as far as I can tell. I've rewritten the article to reflect this, and also to add a bit of biographical information that I gleaned from an AIP web page. (I also moved the partial list of publications to the end as an appendix, since it otherwise interrupts the flow.) —Steven G. Johnson 20:59, Aug 24, 2004 (UTC)

There is no debate on if analysis of Miller's experiment preformed by Shankland is accepted by mainstream physicists. Very few who question it? YMMV on that. A tiny fringe minority? No ... there is a minority (but enough to be notable) ... your "Very few" POV is showiing here. As to the so-called "prestigious peer-reviewed journals", they didn't publish Alfven's work either. I've readded information that you deleted. Thanks on adding a bit of biographical information that you gleaned from an AIP web page. (BTW, The mv of the list of publications to the end as an appendix was a fair choice; a stylistic thing I guess) JDR

To what does the following sentence, found in the intrductory paragraph, relate?

The interferometry apparatus work continued from 1886 until July 1887 (including the buildings on the Case and Western Reserve campuses).

The dates given match nothing in either this article or at Dayton Miller. Lupo 07:49, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Santa Ana

What was this Santa Ana trip? For the first-time reader there is no way to know... Also, check the link, because Santa Ana is a disambiguation page. Is it Santa Ana, California? --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 11:33, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Shankland's critique of Miller's research is wrong and biased
