Talk:Butterfly effect

Overly focused on chaos theory

I love the chaos theory bits but the intro is far too centered on dynamical systems, neglecting the use of butterfly effect more generally including in, e.g. literature and science fiction. Thoughts? Caleb Stanford (talk) 16:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC) Caleb Stanford (talk) 16:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

COI editing by Bwshen

User:Bwshen, who is blocked, seems to have engaged in COI editing on this page, by citing sources for which he was an author. Bwshen is likely Bo-Wen Shen, who is an author of many sources cited on this page, and I imagine that many of these citations were added by Bwshen, though I haven't checked them all. I'm not too knowledgeable about chaos theory myself, so it would help if somebody else could help decide if all of these sources merit inclusion in this article. It's possible that they do, but there should be independent verification of this. The same issue arises on Lorenz system and Chaos theory. Truthnope (talk) 09:59, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

I've argued with him about that section - and possibly more about this page, I forget - but anyway since you point it out, I've removed it William M. Connolley (talk) 16:49, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
