Redundant

[edit]

"The spectrum of GRB 011211 was reported to include emission lines associated with the chemical elements magnesium, silicon, sulphur, argon, and calcium, which supported the theory that gamma-ray bursts are preceded by highly massive stars undergoing a supernova collapse.[5] However, these results were considered statistically insignificant and somewhat controversial due to the low resolution of the instruments used.[6] The spectrum of GRB 020813 was also found to display emission lines of elements associated with supernovae, in this case sulphur and silicon.[6] This evidence confirmed the connection between supernovae and gamma-ray bursts."

This is both redundant and contradictory. Does anybody know what the mainstream opinion is regarding this event? --Bowlhover (talk) 15:43, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph is neither redundant nor contradictory. The first few sentences deal with GRB 011211, an entirely different burst. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 00:20, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
