Misattributions and badly sourced items on list[edit]

This article is a mess. Most of these, when viewed on their respective articles, only mention spaniards as being involved, being wrong, or being a possible candidate, and some make no mention of Spain or spaniards at all. Citations needed by the truckful.

The "magnetic wormhole" in particular is just plain wrong: it is in no way a wormhole, but rather the first device to implement a magnetic cloaking design. While deserving of some merit, "wormhole" is just used as metaphor for how the magnetic field appears to sensors, and should not be linked to the wormhole page at all: Not only do quite a few items on the list require proper sources, some are even grossly misrepresenting the sources! 78.30.29.212 (talk) 21:42, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Not only a mess, so much fake information, specifically the so called islamic inventions eg. Ligatures were invented by Hipocrates and Galeno, Trepanation, the deliberate drilling of holes into a skull, was practiced as early as 7,000 BCE but the article says that a random muslim chap invented it, modern surgery was not invented in Spain, eyeglasses were not invented in Spain, pharmacopeia was not invented in Spain, Shennong Ben Cao Jing is older, etc, etc. I would remove anything not referenced. I am completely aware that arabs kept translations of many inventions, but a translation does not mean they invented. I cannot translate a protocol to treat leukaemia, change two words and then claim that I invented that treatment for Leukamia, it would be ridiculous to assume so.--Sigilatum (talk) 21:16, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
