Does anyone think it might be worthwhile to change the name of this article to 2012 in science and technology, as it says in the introduction? Many - perhaps most - of the news items here are about new technological inventions, rather than discoveries of new scientific phenomena. A lot of people are interested in new technology; renaming the page and including it in the 2012 template would make it easier for users to find this page when looking for technological advances. Any thoughts? I won't change the name unless there's some kind of agreement, don't worry. Michaelmas1957 ( talk) 03:13, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
I've added a few images to the article to illustrate some of the major scientific events of each month, and to break up the solid wall of text that makes up most of the article. I'm thinking there should be maybe two images for each month section. Do other people agree? Michaelmas1957 06:54, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
This article is extensively sourced, offers a large amount of detail, and is attractively laid out with appropriate images and subsections. I think it could qualify as a Good Article, but I'd like to know what others think before I nominate it. Michaelmas1957 ( talk) 15:36, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
While searching for DOI sources it's come to my attention that there is endemic copy-pasting from articles to use as entries on these pages, especially those (most notably by the BBC or Science Daily) that include a nice, bolded subhead. I think a strong reminder that this is copyright violation at worst, and poor form at best (e.g. when the content is government public domain) is in order, regardless of the fact that those that write press release (e.g. as found unedited on EurekAlerts) love it when they are reused without changes and encourage such uses.
Although some cases have such straightforward description (e.g. the item about the WWII bomb map—although I'm not sure it qualifies as "science and technology news" as such) that they slides okay, things like the copypasting from here or here are just unacceptable. I counted five such cases since the beginning of December alone (the other three being [1] [2] and [3]).
I'm warning editors to this page that I will be monitoring it (and the upcoming 2013 page) for any further cases and ruthlessly removing violations with talk page warnings, because copyvio is serious business. Circéus ( talk) 04:27, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
If they are press releases, then what's the problem? I won't be contributing to this page anymore if that's the case. Wjfox2005 ( talk) 14:06, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

I didn't know this was a thing, but apparently the article is running up against WP:PEIS. I've brought it back under the limit by displaying a single author for some of the journal articles. If the rest of the journal articles are also short-formatted, there will probably be enough text space to complete footnote references for the rest of the page, but FYI. 〈 Forbes72 | Talk 〉 08:14, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
