time-of-flight mass spectrometry[edit]

This is a scientific technique that has it's own Wikipedia page. It doesn't seem like the kind of phrase that belongs in a dictionary. — This comment was unsigned.

Looks OK to me. SemperBlotto 11:08, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, not looking too SoP to me. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:13, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looking up the meanings of the individual parts, I come up with:
  1. The measurement of the wavelength of the radiation of the communion wafer administered to a staircase+'s inevitable progression into the future.
  2. The measurement of the wavelength of quantities of matter by their flying+'s duration.
... but not even the second of those is time-of-flight mass spectrometry. For one thing, neither suggests separating ions or using magnetic fields. — Beobach 22:58, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
