Talk:Galvanism

Expansion

The introductory sentence, that contains the definition, does not have a proper in-text citation. Also, the first reference at the bottom on the page does not have a footnote in any section of the article above. The first reference may be the footnote needed for the introductory sentence? The history of Galvanism is detailed greatly in the book titled "The Lady and Her Monsters" by Roseanne Montillo. It goes into great detail about Luigi Galvani life's dedication to uncover more information about galvanism. It also tells the history about how his nephew, Giovanni Aldini, continued his uncle's progress on galvanism. This could help expand the history of the article significantly. The last section about modern studies needs to be reconstruction to lessen misunderstanding. I was confused about which term, the modern or historical, the writer was referencing toward at bottom of the paragraph. The information about Frankenstein should be kept, but reworded to make it easier for the reader to understand. --Lefereol (talk) 00:30, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

It would be nice to see this article expanded. I simply haven't the time now, but perhaps I will later... I added a link to further information about Galvanism on the "See Also" section. Ben Tibbetts 12:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The last half of the first paragraph appears to contain gibberish. I have a degree in physics, and the paragraph appears to simply be a string of techno-babble that contains no actual meaning in the physical sciences, and as such I think that it should probably be removed, probably in favor of some actual discussion of the biology and electrical properties at work. 216.243.177.15 (talk) 20:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

The History section is comprehensible by dint of sufficient effort, but reads as if it were translated from some other language by Babelfish or something similar. When I get a chance I'll see if I can clean it up some. 72.197.38.59 (talk) 19:17, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I distinctly remember watching a video in school where this process was applied to human cadavers, resulting in the face lighting up; smiling, eyes opening, and arm movements, depending which muscles were touched. Youtube does not have the vid as far as I can see, and I cant seem to find it through searches? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.255.133 (talk) 02:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

This is anachronistic pranksterism: "ethernet cable connected to the embedded web server." Or a failed attempt to contemporize the terms "wire" and "electrode." Bstamets (talk) 16:05, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Also others in the same paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ObiWanBillKenobi (talk • contribs) 08:24, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
