A bit more info would be nice, perhaps some history Krod 19:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)krod[reply]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Seconds pendulum's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:54, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The phrase "a clock" appears. Actually, there is more than one and they do not agree with one another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.169.192.50 (talk) 14:29, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've cut out a large amount of material from this article that was only tangentially relevant to the seconds pendulum. It could do with further trimming, but I hope that's the bulk of the irrelevant material now gone. -- The Anome (talk) 00:16, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
