Hi, I noticed that the external link to Ball's article on Truesdell was broken. Here is a link address that works :
http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~ball/Miscelleaneous%20Articles/truesdell.pdf
I did not make the change. Thanks, Terry Bisson 138.92.13.85 ( talk) 17:58, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
The pdf download and the two links all work for me just now.

Hi eveyrone. I'm new here so I don't want to change things yet, until I learn the ways of the platform. I just wanted to say that TIP might be abbreviation for "Thermodynamically Irreversible Processes". I saw that clarification is needed. Regards,

The whole second section has real problems. Sentences like "This must explain why in his Rational Thermodynamics monograph he writes such nonsense as that temperature is given by "a real number", when any student of sciences or engineering knows that a physical quantity as temperature is not given by a number alone." are clearly not okay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schizobullet ( talk • contribs) 05:00, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
The sentence you qoute is particularly egregious. It also doesn't add much in way of content, regardless of the POV issues. it should be removed. 129.241.135.192 ( talk) 09:00, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
"His 'rational' thermodynamics has been abandoned by almost all scientists and engineers, due to its empirical falsification, its internal inconsistencies, and ambiguities." This is inappropriate. "Abandoned by almost all scientists and engineers"? "Empirical falsification"? These are statements of opinion and oughtn't be presented as fact. -- Mr legumoto ( talk) 18:30, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Any objections to renaming the "Rational thermodynamic failure and polemics" section as "Criticisms of Rational Thermodynamics"? -- Mr legumoto ( talk) 19:49, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
I just wanted to post a note of appreciation to those who have been keeping an eye on this entry. I felt it was inappropriate for me to make any editorial changes (I'm Clifford Truesdell V) but its pretty clear that someone with a questionable agenda had been altering the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7:2200:50B:99B9:22C3:2412:C875 ( talk) 00:37, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
It seems to me that the section on "Criticisms of Rational Thermodynamics" (besides being a sequence of statements still lacking factual literary references) should belong to the Wiki article on Rational Thermodynamics rather than to Truesdell's biography. Its placement as *second* section is in any case ridiculous in a biography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.94.123.1 ( talk) 14:39, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
I performed the 2 changes evoked at the end of the above section "POV issues":
("Critics of Rational thermodynamic" would have been misleading, meaning critics by Truesdell)
denis 'spir' ( talk) 12:25, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
I removed the least objective parts of the disputed section, and also added the mentioned references. Nicoguaro ( talk) 19:01, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
