Why did you delete my post, just on the basis that you do not understand it? Did you read the source I provided? There are primary sources and secondary sources. Do you know the difference? Have you read Faraday's Experimental Research? If not, you really have no business editing this article!K00la1dx (talk) 00:56, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That is why my edit is right on point. Just as planetary orbits are ellipses not circles. This whole article is off. Your sources are what people wrote about Faraday some years later. K00la1dx (talk) 12:38, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This article has some plagiarism in it, but I don't have time to spend on Wikipedia I'm busy with research and I'm using Wikipedia's sources. Can someone help improve this article who has the perms? Thx. 172.59.137.14 (talk) 15:41, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well the part I found was this "Faraday published the results of his discovery in the Quarterly Journal of Science, and sent copies of his paper along with pocket-sized models of his device to colleagues around the world so they could also witness the phenomenon of electromagnetic rotations.[45]" Sorry I didn't include it at first but I was really swamped and also there may be more and I really can't devote much time to hunting for it. I found this one quite accidentally. SwampedEssayist (talk) 14:55, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SwampedEssayist: Where do you think it was plagiarised from, and what indicates that it was plagiarised? The only places other than Wikipedia where I can find that text are as follows: (1) Cliff Notes, which acknowledges Wikipedia as the source of its material. (2) Great Scientist in the World-2, by Manoj Dole. This is a self-published book, with no publication date, so that it is impossible to tell for certain whether it came before or after that text was added to the Wikipedia article. However, the editor who posted that text into the Wikipedia article gave a citation to a source which provides the same information, but phrased very differently. While of course it would be possible to copy material verbatim from one source and find another source to cite as a reference for it, that would be a rather strange thing to do, and most unusual. On the other hand, it is very common for self-published books to plagiarise Wikipedia. (Google indicates that the text you quote was also at one time posted in a page at https://uj-gym.com/, but the site is currently unreachable.) JBW (talk) 15:46, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Royal Institution source "Faraday sent copies of his scientific paper along with pocket-sized models of his device to scientific colleagues all over the world so they too could witness the phenomenon of electromagnetic rotations themselves" vs our text "Faraday published the results of his discovery in the Quarterly Journal of Science, and sent copies of his paper along with pocket-sized models of his device to colleagues around the world so they could also witness the phenomenon of electromagnetic rotations".

"Pocket-sized" and "witness the phenomenon" both seem to be phrases that are just stolen. However, I don't know what to change it to. thx Duncan for the backup! I found it right there through ref45. SwampedEssayist (talk) 16:25, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think Faraday effect should be mentioned. It is of course based on some others earlier observations of light polarization, and was just a start (Faraday did discover it in 1845), where other discoveries followed, but was essentially first magneto optic-effect discovered. He did many times before to search for such (or similar) effect, but finally found it in 1845. He have also done countless experiments to find other magneto-electric-optic effects, but unsuccessfully, partially due to the effect being very weak - about 30 years later, Kerr would discover and measure it. 2A02:168:F609:1:FA8A:ABDB:C7FA:882E (talk) 15:21, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
