Template:Discuss active research

Active research
Start a topic on this page that is relevant to the article but not present in it yet, or that is incompletely or wrongly described. Point out what is missing in the article, question its findings (perhaps some things in the article are wrong), or ask a question about something you don't understand, in the article or about its subject generally.

Your question does not have to be inspired or especially deep for you to ask it by starting a topic on this page. If there is already a topic here that is somehow related to it, it may be best to ask your question as a reply to that topic, but this Discuss page doesn't have to be perfectly organized; it is only important that a conversation develops. Try to answer a question on this page, or make a suggestion about how to approach that question. Participate and contribute.

Simple questions are not stupid, and they are usually helpful, because the people who contributed the text of the article are often the least likely to understand how it fails to describe the subject adequately to someone who isn't already an expert in it. Anyone who provides thoughtful feedback is a participant in this research.

All scientific discovery begins by asking a question, and often the most naive questions turn out to be the most illuminating, and lead to original discoveries.
