[WikiEN-l] No references in the "end product?"

[Daniel P. B. Smith]

Three minor clarifications... first, our article on radioactivity is  
a redirect to "Radioactive decay,"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay

and that's the article to which my comments apply.

Second, the Encyclopaedia Britannica Eleventh Edition's article on  
"Radioactivity" is considerably _longer_ than ours, so an equivalent  
citation density in ours would be less than fifty-four inline  
citations... I haven't got time to do the math right now but since  
our article has zero citations the ratio is still the same.

Third, no, just for the record, I don't think E. Ru.'s 1911 article  
would be the best article to rely on, as of 2006, as one's sole  
source of information on radioactivity, a few things having been  
learned in the last century....
