Producer Wikipedia Page

How come that the producer Peter Rees doesn't have his own Wikipedia page, but a link to IMBD? Just wondering. Finfun (talk)

Citation 49 doesnt work

Here's what looks to be a Chinese language version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG5mwaVYwp0 (at the the video matches the description of Jamie wearing armour in front on the paintball thing) 131.217.6.7 (talk) 02:27, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inconclusive

It says that the myths can be busted, plausible, or confirmed. But if they don't have the technology or resources to successfully test the myth they call it inconclusive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.194.29 (talk) 01:00, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RFID controversy

Anyone care to add something about it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDcuDFSVgMU — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.60.175.214 (talk) 21:16, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"such as Florida so do some alligator experiments"

English is not my native language so please forgive me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't that be "Florida to do some..." ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.219.24 (talk) 11:29, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contraversy

MythBusters has been accused of rigging experiments, either intentionally or by ignorance, to arrive at desired results rather than actual results; Amongst the most pointed of these was “Pirate Ammo”, in which chains and silverware were fired out a non-naval cannon in what they called a “busted myth” when, in fact, had they been used in the manor intended (and preferably out of a naval gun) they would have worked.
The question is, ¿how does this controversy apply? ¿How do we address this? A REDDSON

If you have reliable sources which point these issues out then create a new section titled Criticisms and just make sure you cite what you list there.

¿Do you just go through my contribs list to harass me? At any rate, my source is Time Life Books “Fighting Sail” (The Seafarers series), chapter 2 as I recall. In this document, they list chain shot and how it is used (as anti-rigging/mast ammo, to disable an enemy vsl), whereas these “scientists” used it against a pig in an anti-personnel capacity. Had they used it in the intended fashion they would have found the myth proven. A REDDSON
