RfC on Time contraction

How should we solve the WP:R#PLA in Time contraction? 84.120.7.178 (talk) 22:40, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Before using the RfC process to get opinions from outside editors, it's often faster and more effective to thoroughly discuss the matter with any other parties on the related talk page. Editors are normally expected to make a reasonable attempt at resolving their issues before seeking help from others. If you are able to come to a consensus or have your questions answered through discussion with other editors, then there is no need to start an RfC.
I have seen no prior discussion on the fate of the redirect Time contraction and the proper place to discuss that is at RfD. Consensus at this page and in related discussions seem to fall against including a mention of the idea in this page. The RFC is beginning to look a bit pointy. --Salix alba (talk): 09:20, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

"Time contraction" listed at Redirects for discussion

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Time contraction. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 March 18#Time contraction until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

"Combined effect of velocity and gravitational time dilation" has a mislabeled metric

The section on "Combined effect of velocity and gravitational time dilation" claims it is using the Schwarzschild metric, and links to the Schwarzschild metric page, but it looks more like a misformed representation of isotropic coordinates, and it cites a source that uses what the source calls an "ECI frame" which looks like a weak-field Newtonian metric. 5.57.12.217 (talk) 11:47, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

To me it looks like conforming to the cited sources and like pure Schwarzschild. - DVdm (talk) 12:16, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
