Talk:Synthesis

Purpose

what it the purpose for synthesizing

What is this user tryng to say? Asking the purpose of the name of this age?

OK this whole thing has been vandalised by some kid, I don't know enough about the subject to fix it but someone should.

Does anyone else think there should be direct mention of synthesis here as described in Bloom's Taxonomy? It is close to the description under philosophical synthesis, except in Bloom's synthesis, the two (or more) elements involved in producing the new element(s) are not necessarily antithetical to each other.

Suggestion: Change this to a disambiguation page

I don't think these subjects are related, in any way. (Chemical synthesis, sound synthesis, philosophical synthesis). I think what we're looking for here is a disambiguation page. ----CharlesGillingham 04:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. The "other uses" tag at the top claims, This is an article about the philosophical concept. In fact, it is not. Only two sentences are about philosophy. The bulk of the article is about chemical synthesis and should probably be merged in to that article. This one should be chopped up and replaced with a disambiguation page.

This article has sat for over three months since CharlesGillingham's suggestion, with little work done to it and no further comment here on the Talk page. Whole sections of it (e.g., Chemical synthesis) are verbatim identical from other articles. It may well be abandoned. It certainly suffers from WP:CFORK and lack of focus. I will be bold and begin transforming this into a disambiguation page. Hult041956 (talk) 23:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
