I'm new to editing wikipedia (or html stuff in general), so I don't know how to set hyperlinks. From the "Gravitational time dilation" article: "the faster the gravitational potential (the closer the clock is to the source of gravitation), the more slowly time passes". Also from the same article: "Clocks which are far from massive bodies (or at higher gravitational potentials) run faster, and clocks close to massive bodies (or at lower gravitational potentials) run slower." Time passing slower in gravitation fields is also what I remember from my academic education, although it was only a very minor subject. So if time passes slower on the ground (nearer to earth's center of mass), the ground control guys will age less than the astronaut. Hence the astronaut will have aged more, not less. So I think my edit was correct. Maybe you are confusing things with the twin paradox in special relativity which concerns a spacecraft moving at relativistic speed. Sorry for my English, it's not my native language. Greetings. 79.203.73.5 (talk) 17:24, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
TRH: What is thought of by readers as astronauts "most" of the time may be the more exotic moon voyages. Here is a reference from an excerpt published in TIME magazine that moon travellers age more; http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,839785,00.html Going with a time descrepancy per orbit alone may be somewhat illuminating but ignores acceleration periods needed to get off of and get back to the earth. Only a full computation including this could verify if a specific ISS visitor aged less overall. The article clearly should not state astronauts age less, when moon travellers aged more. I do not know why this discussion is not directly on the Wikipedia time dilation web site. 128.244.42.5 (talk) 19:26, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
TRH: Yes, leading caption is fixed. However, the new caption needs work. The primary issue is an irritating tiny detail. From the article, with respect to proper time, satellite clock tick rate is; (ds1/dt)^2 = 1-2GM/(r*c^2)-v_perp^2/c^2, where orbit radial velocity is zero. A clock on earth at the North Pole has; (ds2/dt)^2 = 1-2GM/(Re*c^2) For classical mechanics, equating F=ma for the orbit's circular acceleration and gravity yields v_perp^2=GM/r so the satellite simplifies to (ds1/dt)^2 = 1-3GM/(r*c^2) Now equating the two clocks gives 2/Re=3/r, so r=(3/2)Re. Therefore, in lieu of original research, one should report 1.5 Re as where the two clocks tick at the same rate. But this caption claims 1.497 is a better answer. There is nowhere near the plot resolution to argue about the 3rd decimal place. Is 1.497 even really correct? What mystical effect does the author have secret knowledge about? 128.244.42.5 (talk) 18:31, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
TRH: The sources you quote are expanding expressions into series and dropping lower order terms, but NOT dealing with the earth eccentricity. A-3 Eqn [3] is identical to a ratio of the two equations I wrote for (ds1)^2 and (ds2)^2, and A-3 Eqn [9] gives the identical satellite velocity equation I gave. You are saying 1.497 is derivable from the identical equations that I am showing you actually yield 1.5. Do you agree that the earth equator rotational velocity is negligible, for the 3rd decimal? You indirectly mistakenly suggest that the more precise north pole gravity term is obtained by plugging in a smaller R in the spherical 1/R formula. In the limit of large eccentricity the earth becomes a pancake, the two poles touch each other, and there is no gravity at all (on the surface at the north pole). But for your approach gravity is going to infinity, because you keep plugging in a smaller R into 1/R. The basic reality is a caption, surrounded by Wikipedia equations that point to 1.5 Re, states 1.497 for reasons that are not stated. What is the point in going to the 3rd decimal? Readers are best served by a caption that states (3/2)Re (or an altitude of Re/2) and avoids the complication of new flavors of Re. The equatorial versus average and polar earth radii distinctions are too detailed for the Wikipedia article in the first place, and even the more involved references quoted in this discussion do not cover it.128.244.42.5 (talk) 13:27, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
TRH: You correctly point out the earth's velocity is not negligible to the 3rd decimal for a clock at the equator. Assume we stay consistent with the segment of the current Wikipedia article where the caption is placed by NOT resorting to earth eccentricity. For the north pole we get 1.5*Re and for the equator I get 1.4974*Re = 1.4974*6371 kM = 9540 km, and this rounds to 1.497*Re. Perhaps the caption could state "the clocks agree for a satellite orbit at 1.5*Re for an earth clock at the north pole and 1.497*Re for an earth clock at the equator". If sticking to only 1.497*Re, at least specify that the earth clock is on the equator. Note the current caption does tell you to use an equatorial value for Re, but does NOT explicitly tell you the earth clock must be on the equator for 1.497*Re to be correct, which may be confusing. It is a dubious idea to introduce eccentricity with only indirect motivation from a reference that states APPROXIMATELY 9545 km. Mentioning a distinct "equatorial" Re is unfortunate because this references eccentricity and thus gives the false implication that references are taking eccentricity into account to get this 0.003 correction, when in fact it is primarily a rotational velocity effect. 128.244.42.5 (talk) 15:45, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
A non-spinning earth has one unique average sea level at the equator and poles. Adding earth rotational velocity to get its time dilation impact is fine, but this change also must create an elliptical sea level. The caption specifies both an equatorial Re instead of an average Re, and 1.497 instead of 1.5. Both of these corrections are not just spinning earth effects but also equivalently elliptical earth effects. If only the equatorial and polor sea levels are given, the equatorial velocity can be determined. The intent is for the caption to incorporate an earth velocity time dilation correction, but given that an elliptical earth surface gravitational potential was not used, the referenced computation was not accurate enough to assert an earth velocity effect. Using 1.5*Re in the caption drops the pretense of reporting a computation as being more accurate than it may actually be.128.244.42.5 (talk) 18:47, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Stating 1.498*Re (=9544 km) and leaving out the equatorial earth radius (as you point out, anywhere is OK) which yields 1.497*Req (=9548 km) is closer to the source. Handing out 2 or 4 decimals of precision in a caption is partly a matter of discretion, where you look at the source and try to figure out how much precision was intended.128.244.42.5 (talk) 19:07, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Lets go for 5 digits precision. http://relativity.livingreviews.org/open?pubNo=lrr-2003-1&page=articlese3.html Above is a reference where the International Astronomical Union "Terrestrial Time" scale (between Eqns 18 & 19) is given as ds2/dt = 1-alpha, for alpha = 6.969290134*10^(-10). For break even equate this to ds1/dt = sqrt[1-3GM/(rc^2)]
r/Requator = (3/2)*(GM/c^2)/[alpha*(1-alpha/2)*Requator] = 1.4942
Sticking to 1.497 misses the earth rotational velocity + ellipsoidal surface gravity correction by 50%.128.244.42.5 (talk) 20:06, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
I concede that one should also properly give a satellite flying over the equator an elliptical earth (GM/r)*(1-J2*(Re/r)^2) correction for J2=1.08263*10^(-3), and this does get even more involved in original looking stuff. When I did this I got 1.493*Requator. The point is not to replace 1.497 with 1.494 or 1.493, but rather to question what value and motivation exists to assigning 4 digits of precision to the original source. The author may have filled in preceding digit places just to get to the "km" symbol, and did so consistent with terms that were ignored along the way, just so that ***a reader who followed through with the same approximations and repeated the computation would not be frustrasted by getting a different answer***. We cannot telepathically decipher the intent of the author as otherwise.128.244.42.5 (talk) 21:25, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
TRH: Thanks for bearing with me. I think I resolved the mystery of why Ashby's 9545 km result is missing a quadrapole potential correction, which normally must come along with a rotating earth due to the rotation's impact on sea level. Clearly it has troubled me that I could not recover 9545 km when only low order polynomials are involved. Since my last writing,
I got 1.496511429*Requator=9544.955 km. It just so happens that 55 degrees decimates the elliptical potential term. Whether it has a 7 or 5 factor doesnt matter, due to a leading factor of (1-(3/2)*(sin(2*pi*55/360))^2) = -0.006515107494252. So the current caption 3rd decimal is AOK for an orbit tilted at 55 degrees (where 90 orbits the poles and 0 orbits the equator). For an orbit going over the equator, Eqn 85 indicates the 3rd decimal is off (should be 1.495 and not 1.497).128.244.42.5 (talk) 20:47, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello, sorry, I could have sworn that I read in the same article the well known fact that while 99.9% of the atoms mass is in the nucleus 99.9% of its volume is empty space. I thought since this was well known and we are on a wiki someone would verify this for me. So you're saying that even if something is well known fact, unless I provide the source it doesn't get included? ThanksGeeBIGS (talk) 12:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
I did put something on the talk page. But I have done that before and am still waiting for a response. So I figured I would actually get a response on te talk page if I also made a logical edit.

Hi DVdm,
I am writing concerning your removal of my edit on the discriminant formula.
In the formula the imaginary number already accounts for the discriminate being negative as it is the square root of negative one and by the properties of multiplication under a square root it can be taken outside. I removed the secondary negative symbol before the delta symbol because before it read:
+ or - i[square root(-delta)]/2a
but it should read:
+ or - i[square root(delta)]/2a
because like I said the i already accounts for the negative value in the discriminant.
Please excuse my ignorance if I missing something totally obvious and also my sorry excuse for trying to write mathematical equations online (I probably used all the wrong separators).

My comments on the edit of the Rowenna Davis page reflects the original guidelines for personal profiles on Wiki. Writers, Artists etc who had published / exhibited major works, or published numerous referenced works, Recording artists, major Political figures, and celebreties, were deemed to warrant a page. I have not checked the recent wording for biographies, however I would contend that Rowenna Davis does not qualify.
Admittedly she has appeared as a Panelist of a Sunday Lunch Time Political programme, is a sitting Labour Cancilor, and contributes articles to the NewStatesman (a left-wing party-political journal), however there 1,861 London Councilors, of which a number appear regularly in print, on television, and on the radio. These include professional Journalists, accomplished Businessmen, and high profile individuals. Very few of these people have a Wiki page due to the guidelines, so why does Rowenna Davis?
I can understand that someone decided to create the page, and that without knowing much about the British Political System one might assume what is written about her inplies something of importance, however baring in mind there are 1,860 other London Councillor, with many more County (1,859), Unitary (3,123), Borough (2,445) and Disrict (8,903) Councillors, many of whom have held more senior local office, I think that the page should be removed - otherwise you will see a good deal of similar pages - which adds nothing to the richness of Wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.236.86 (talk) 23:30, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, it seems you reverted one of the edits to Kid President article. That edit did not represent vandalism; it had a source and was a normal part of the article, but was removed in one of previous edits without further explanations. This is why it was restored. 89.164.132.13 (talk) 15:19, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps some fresh air would be in order for a person such as yourself. You appear to be heavy handed in your duties. I could see your point if I were adding something incendiary but I simply added a note about a local resident who just set a new speed climbing record and was featured in our local paper today.

Please ask me for my permission or discuss before deleting my good faith additions. Mrm7171 (talk) 09:36, 30 May 2013 (UTC) Take this as your final warning before I put a formal complaint in. I;m sorry, but you keep deleting, undoing without discussing. Thanks. "Talk constructively with me, showing me some respect though if you would like." Thanks. Seriously, I have posed some interesting questions here. Are you a Psychologist yourself DVDm Mrm7171 (talk) 09:36, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Just contacting you here relating to your deletion of my good faith work. I noticed you also used some sosftware to this undoing of my good faith work.
Rollback is available to all administrators and can be given to other users on request, subject to the approval of an administrator. A user who has been assigned this right explicitly is called a rollbacker. There are currently 1,448 administrators and 4,850 rollbackers (6,298 total), not including global rollbackers who have been assigned the right across all Wikimedia projects.
Standard rollback may only be used in certain situations – editors who misuse standard rollback (for example, by using it to reverse good-faith edits in situations where an explanatory edit summary would normally be expected) may have their rollback rights removed. Since rollback is part of the core administrator tools, an admin could be stripped of their administrative privileges to remove those tools.
Do you have permission DvDm ? Are you acting in bad faith here? Mrm7171 (talk) 09:57, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
hmm...i am very worried about you using this software dvdm i ask again..."(for example, by using it to reverse good-faith edits in situations where an explanatory edit summary would normally be expected) may have their rollback rights removed.

Also please note, any additions i have made are in good faith and you are personally bordering on breaking the three deletions rule in 24 hours. I have already warned you.
This is your last and only warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this undo edit to Occupational health psychology. Mrm7171 (talk) 02:07, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Stigmatella aurantiaca, for your comments. I'm only a new user. Have listened to suggestions from other editors and made changes according to community rules.
Have asked Itszippy what to do about an editor, ISS246, or in fact any Editor for that matter, who blatantly refuses to accept a large and solid group consensus against posting something signiicant, particularly in an article relating to a profession like medicine, engineering or psychology etc etc. Everyone, way before me, (in fact for 4 years now) has disagreed with him strongly, often very strongly, much more strongly than I have. However it just went ahead and did it anyway, thinking he ius right and all other community members are wrong, as if Wikipedia is his private website! Have you any practical advcice, on top of Itszippy's suggestions, instead of judging me please?
You, like many others here seem to have a lot of experience and know all the rules and regulations. So what do you think? If we could all just go against the broad consensus, and post what 'we' want, what would Wikipedia become? Mrm7171 (talk) 23:25, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
I have a complaint about Mrm7171. He plays a double game. I try to discuss edits with him on his talk page. Then he goes ahead and makes edits without discussing them. And finally writes:
(diff | hist) . . m Occupational health psychology; 02:54 . . (+57) . . Mrm7171 (talk | contribs) (Just made a couple of very minor additions. Did not delete or undo anyone elses edits. Please discuss with me on my talk page to come to consensus.Thanks)
(diff | hist) . . m Occupational health psychology; 02:51 . . (+9) . . Mrm7171 (talk | contribs) (One word added. No deletion of any other editors work made out of respect. We need to discuss. Please use my talk page. Please don't just remove. Thanks)

Meanwhile, he includes text that occupational health psychology is a subfield of i/o psychology when I have labored on his talk page to explain that OHP is not a subfield of i/o psychology just as i/o psychology is not a subfield of social psychology and psychometrics or that health psychology is not a subfield of clinical psychology. I view what he has done as bad faith. This includes his groveling, with purposeful bad grammar, about how he has been picked on on May 26, 2013:

Dvdm. I strongly request you take the comments I made soon after joining Wikipidia, and you have for some reason directly pasted on your talk page below? I ask you to delete the entire paste you made please. Thank you.Mrm7171 (talk) 00:30, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Can you tell me please what the Wiki policy is regarding the placement of other's comments on editor's own talk page when done so in possible bad faith or a means of personal attack?Mrm7171 (talk) 23:34, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Also Dvdm, my opinion is that all articles require accuracy, currency, knowledge, and be factual and free from bias and be edited for the benefit of the greater Wikipedia community and readers. This is particularly true, in my opinion, with articles, relating to international professions, like psychology, medicine, etc etc..where accuracy, standards and broad-based acceptance of standards and protocols, within each profession apply. I note you have possibly been working in unison with another editor, to delete 'any' much needed revisions of a couple of articles I have ever attempted. In my still limited experience of Wikipedia, it is the communities resource, and articles needs accuracy and currency and not in any way, be misleading to the community. Also deleting other people's important changes sometimes, and without discussing with them your intention, does no good for the wikipedia community and can lead to unneccessary conflict, when prior discussion about edits could avoid any such unneeded conflict. Based on a quick look at comments from many other editors on your talk page here, you seem to delete a lot of other editors work, in a lot of different areas So, please, for the last time, I ask you to discuss with me, before you for some reason, 'blindly' delete my edits, in future. Thanks. Mrm7171 (talk) 23:34, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
This is an answer to your last post in Talk:Quartic function.
1/ I have sourced the general formula as derived by a simple calculation from another formula in the page. It remains to properly sourcing this section (and the other ones), which is not difficult. I have verified that this derivation is correct, but this verification would be much easier if the notation would be uniformed through all the page. But it is better to wait on more stability before doing that. IMO, it is not a good idea to use the formula in the French-Chinese thesis, because the latter is intended for a purely real computation, which complicates the formula and could be confusing for the readers. By the way, I was not aware of the content of this thesis although it was defended in my lab and I was the supervisor of the French supervisor of this thesis, and also reviewer of the habilitation thesis of the other supervisor.
2/ Nature of the roots. I have expanded this section partly because of a recurrent wrong edit by some editor, partly because it could be frustrating for the reader to have an incomplete classification. The classification provided in the above thesis, is directly derived from the general methods working for every degree and do not take into account the fact that the degree four may be (and is) simpler. Therefore, I am against to use it there. On the other hand, I am able to source the classification I have provided only for the case of 4 complex roots. However it is a rather simple exercise to deduce the complete classification from this old paper of myself. Thus this classification is essentially WP:OR. But we have to choose between this and an incomplete or unnecessarily complicated classification. IMO, this is a case where WP:IAR applies.

Yesterday, somebody edited out part of a sentence, for no apparent reason, leaving something that was ungrammatical and senseless. I put it back, almost but not quite to the way it was. Now I see that you have deleted my wording, restoring the lack of good grammar and sense, on the grounds that it was "unsourced".
Hmmm....
Just take a look at the images of watches on that page. Most of those with analog displays are set to the times of 10:10 or 1:50. Everyone knows that watches are usually sold with their hands at those two times. That's all I said.
If you refuse to include this piece of common knowledge, then at least fix the grammar.
DOwenWilliams (talk) 02:16, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Probably, nobody cares.
Do you mind if I ask you a related question? There's an article about someone I used to know, long ago. I stumbled across it, and found that it was pure BS. I did some editing, so it resembles reality, but it was purely from memory, since there's nothing available to cite. (There was already one citation, quoting someone who was lying!) Very few people read the article, so I wasn't worried. But it turned out that the person it is about did read it! She tracked me down a few days ago (we had been out of touch for decades), and e-mailed me. She was quite happy with the article (said it was "astonishingly accurate"), but thought it could do with some extra details. She asked me if there were any rules about biographical articles being edited by the people they are about. I said I didn't know, and suggested she should try it and see what happens. So far, she hasn't made any changes.
What do you think?
DOwenWilliams (talk) 20:44, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that you've got a couple of quotations of Frank Zappa above. So maybe you'd like to know that the woman I used to know, and mentioned above, was Suzy Creamcheese. DOwenWilliams (talk) 04:02, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
No. Sorry. I have a life to lead. I'm not going to waste it chasing sources for an article that almost nobody reads. I fixed it up to make it factually accurate, relying on my own memories of events long ago. (I was sitting next to Suzy in the Albert Hall when she had that exchange with Zappa.) But, if you want to try to find sources, good luck! DOwenWilliams (talk) 15:35, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Be cautious about what you accept. I did mention that there is a citation of someone who was not being entirely truthful. I gather that Suzy and Zappa were not on good terms when she left the group, and Zappa "spun" the history of the Mothers to make it appear that there never had been a real Suzy. The citation is of a radio interview in which he said as much. You may well find similar distortions. DOwenWilliams (talk) 15:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
On further thought, maybe you should just add a tag that says that the factual accuracy of the article is in doubt. I think there's a tag for that. I think it's highly unlikely that you will find really reliable sources to cite. On the other hand, simply deleting the article would be, I think, a shame. This little piece of history deserves to be documented somewhere.
Check the Talk page. Several people have referred to other people with the same nickname.
I still know three or four people, besides Suzy herself, who remember those events. But we can't cite their memories.
DOwenWilliams (talk) 21:34, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
If you put the article back to the way it was before my recent edits, you will restore its total falsity. It never had any worthwhile sources. I'm not sure what the original author used, but it certainly wasn't what Wikipedia would regard as a citeable source.

Thanks for asking for Citation re: Electronic Arts
The info I posted regarding electronic arts is matter a fact I worked there from 1984-86, it was one of the first full 3d Computer animation studios in the UK. The company was originally founded by the ex director of BBC Dr Who as a effects company, which pioneered 3D animation in the UK.
The company worked from premises in Chalk Farm, Primrose Hill, before moving to the City of London, where in 1987 it changed its name to Amazing Array Productions, as EA brought the name/ registered it in the UK.
I am trying to collaborate dates, but think it would be GREAT to get the facts right:::
I can cross reference, key individuals -
namely:: Jilly Knight:: Head of Animation:: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=5638962&authType=name&authToken=0FqZ&goback=
Phil Mitchell ;; Animator and Founder of MAINFRAME Animation in Canada, Creator of ReBoot http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=3786597&authType=name&authToken=FZCS&goback= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReBoot http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0593661/?ref_=fn_al_nm_3
You will NOTE that Phil uses the pun = we where not the GAMES Company!!!!
and thats what we have had to say for the past 28 years as the name was brought up by EA
hope this helps, I am trying to construct a timeline and will forward this on to you, as we where Pinoneers in the UK.

I talk about edits after you warned me. This edits are not breaking rules. I just wanted to fix conflict and see talk what I say: "Darra Goldstein. The Georgian Feast: The Vibrant Culture and Savory Food of the Republic of Georgia. University of California Press, 1999, p. 51
This totally shows its Georgian. "University of California Press", this is one of most reliable sources. We need to discuss both sources, which says Armenian and other which says Georgian as of this article became battlefield of editing... We need to check both sources... But before we must not say anything about origin in article cause we found 2 sources one says other, 2nd other thing we need to remove origin from article --Obitauri (talk) 18:57, 19 June 2013 (UTC) --Obitauri (talk) 18:57, 19 June 2013 (UTC)"
Then I edited article and removed origin of this product cause its discussing right now, I shown Lori-m source he removed it before this edit warring. He removed several resources from this article which said it was Georgian just see history. I just wanted to fix this and did some mistakes in editing (such as changing sources). I fixed them now and just put new source. Here is problem which needs to be discussed: 1 source says that its Georgian, other says its Armenian. We need to find out which is true and if we cant, jsut leave like not writing origin like article looks like now. Do you understand me now? What did you gave reason of reporting me? --Obitauri (talk) 21:14, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, we recently crossed paths at User talk:Cjohnson20001. (I was trying to revert their edits to the Afterlife article, but you beat me to the punch...twice.) Anyway, I appreciate the work you're doing, but it rubbed me wrong when you gave them a level 4 vandalism template for this edit. Yes, it was POV, edit warring, using Wikipedia as a platform, etc., but it seems to have been in good faith, and I would hesitate to call it vandalism.

I'm not sure I'm doing this talk thing right... but I see you recently warned the guy that edited Machairodus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machairodus?diff=561560105
I only came to notice this, because I was on the cynodont page, and saw that permian had been changed to paleocene. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cynodont&diff=561561641&oldid=561558487
Is there any way to find out any other edits this guy did? it seems he went active on the 25th of june, and perhaps there is some damage he's done that hasn't been fixed yet.

I am writing to you because I want to avoid an edit war. I thought you could intercede. Earlier today Mrm7171 made a wholesale deletion from the Wikipedia entry on Industrial and Organizational Psychology. The deletion was is not justified. The deletion was of a short paragraph on the relation of i/o psychology to OHP, a paragraph that I restored. The paragraph is justified in that OHP emerged out of i/o, health psychology, and occupational health. Each of the encyclopedia entries for those three disciplines has contained a short paragraph on the discipline's relation to OHP.Iss246 (talk) 18:50, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dvdm
You are right, it was not reliably sourced, according to wikipedia definition. It was true, though, and there was a source reference to a comprehensive, logical treatment. I was almost certain that wikipedia would be inconducive to new truths, but I needed to try it out, in order to determine the exact nature of the obstacle. This is, of course, not a criticism of your removal of my contribution, as another would have done so in your place, given that the regard of 'reliable sources' is a fundamental requirement for wikipedia articles.
Makes you wonder whether wikipedia may not result in truth stagnation, though, however wonderful a site it otherwise is. In this case, my contribution employed correct logic, which does not require any authority's acknowledgement to those able to follow it. But wikipedia, then, will have to wait for such acknowledgement.

Hello. I notice that you keep adding the the line "However, the general theory reduces to the special theory over sufficiently small regions of spacetime, where curvature effects become less important and the earlier inertial frame arguments can come back into play."
This is fundamentally not correct, as it implies that small regions of spacetime have negligible curvature. This is NOT AT ALL the criteria for curvature effects vanishing. Rather, it must be in the neighbourhood of a point in the manifold in which the Christoffel symbols and their partial derivatives vanish. This is the only way that curvature drops out to zero and one has flat spacetime. The two sources you cite are not credible sources for this topic, rather, any standard textbook on differential geometry will tell you this.
You CANNOT construct a Minkowski coordinate system in an open neighbourhood of a general point in a curved spacetime, since there may be cross-terms that do not vanish. A prime example is the Kerr metric, where you simply CANNOT construct Minkowski coordinates in the neighbourhood of a point, for the simple reason that the cross-term (say in t and phi) cannot be eliminated, since the differential rotation of the vacuum is real, and cannot be transformed away. Of course you can introduce Minkowski coordinates in the TANGENT space, because it is by definition flat.
You really have to make these points clear. They seem subtle, but are very much at the heart of the topic in question.

Hello DVdm, thanks for you help on the Fawad Afzal Khan article. In case you aren't familiar with what's going on with these celebrity articles let me fill you in on some of it. First, I know nothing about any of these people or the entertainment industries of India and Pakistan. As happens I got sucked into these articles following a vandal and discovered tons and tons of problems. Recently the one I've been focused on is where a dynamic IP keeps adding to articles that person X is Muslim and "born into a Muslim family". Every once in a while a source is supplied (hard to tell if these are reliable sources but that's another issue) but the vast majority of time one isn't. Along with that edit are all sorts of other OK looking edits about the person's career. Generally unsourced but also uncontroversial. What I mainly do is revert the unsourced religious claims since I don't want to take the time to assess the quality of the rest of their edit.
Anyway, it's an ongoing problem and any help in dealing with it is greatly appreciated. SQGibbon (talk) 14:53, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Regarding your removal of content at Talk:Length contraction: I had recommended to the user who added that content (LCcritic (talk · contribs)) that they open a discussion on the talk page after I had removed their edit to the page itself. The user appears to wish to broaden the scope of the article by including a discussion of the controversy discussed in the material you removed. I don't believe it was this user's wish to open a general chat, but rather to introduce material for discussion prior to introduction to the article. I would like to see the material restored to the talk page so a proper discussion can take place, but I don't wish to step on any toes. I'm not a physicist and will readily claim little understanding of the topic at hand. I also admit that I believe LCcritic is trying to introduce something of a fringe theory, but I thought a proper discussion rather than a dismissal out of hand was in order.

DVdm, I am very lame at navigating here, so when I couldn't find my "talk" comments, I thought you had deleted them. Sorry. Just now, replied to your last response to me and then could not find it. (Just my unfamiliarity with the site, I am sure.) Anyway here it is again, and it it is a duplicate, please bear with me as I learn the ropes here. Thanks. You said: "Nowadays (i.e. since a century or so), "physical" and "real" (and even "geometrically") all mean "operationally and reproducibly measurable". Anything beyond that seems to have become what we could call arm-chair philosophy, i.e. wasting one's time on the usage of words. Just like velocity and energy, length is a coordinate dependent property. That does not make it "unphysical" or "unreal" or "merely geometrical". -"
This ignores the present length contraction debate (as in all science forums with a relativity section... before LC critics are banned) on whether LC is a physical phenomenon or not, which is a legitimate question for science. I have given examples of both sides as found in Wiki, and it can not be both ways, so the issue begs for disambiguation. You say, "length is a coordinate dependent property," as if the debate is settled and physical objects have no intrinsic, objective shape, length or distance between them, and it all depends on how you look at them (frame of reference.) It is not just arm-chair philosophy to declare that a contracted Earth diameter (say 4000 miles as "measured" from a frame approaching at .866c as in my example) is not "equally valid" with the its proper diameter length, measured in Earth's frame, just under 8000 miles.
The same applies to the often referenced barn and ladder/pole paradox. A 20 foot ladder will not fit into a 10 foot barn, regardless of different relativistic frames of reference. These are physical objects. A force must be applied to compact them to shorter length, and special relativity does not include such force in its theory. It just claims that varying measurements indicate varying lengths, and this must be generalized to all objects, like Earth, which clearly does not vary in diameter length with all possible relativistic frames from which it might (someday, theoretically) be measured.

Please read the talk pages of Bengali novels, Bangla rock and Bengali science fiction. These articles have huge amount of material on Bangladesh but very less on West Bengal. The article on Bangla rock has been redirected to Bangladeshi rock, a term which does not even exist! This is pure vandalism. If you see the History of these three articles to 2 or 3 years back, say the page as it appeared on 16 October 2010 or 2011, you find an unbiased article. If you are an administrator, please do something. I was forced to add the vandalism tag to the mentioned articles.
And I am not the only person who feels that the above mentioned articles are biased towards Bangladesh while ignoring West Bengal. If you read their talk pages, you can get others' views. I am not making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia as you just wrote on my talk page.

Hello, With regard to the definition of reliable and unbiased source for Fasih Mahmood, I have included the source as twocircles website which primarily deals with isses related to indian muslims accused of terrorist charges and under judicial custody. their website is http://twocircles.net/ Yet time and again I am being told this is not a reliable source. Why? I read the definition of reliable and unbiased source and it completley fits the bill. The onus is on you to disprove it. If you can't then let my edit stay in place. I have the feeling I am being harassed for vandalism. When however it is exactly the opposite of what I am trying to do.
I do not have the time or effort to continue this circus. If people are genuinely interested in knowing more about Fasih Mahmood they can check out the articles at http://twocircles.net/ and decide for themselves.

Hi,
Insofar as the formating of the article is concerned I accept my mistake. I am new to wikipedia and therefore not a pro on editing and formating.
However if you read Neelkamala's comments on my edits, the formating is not the issue. The comments focus on and question the reliability of the source. When in fact a simple proofreading of the article in its current state will show how "Fasih Mahmood has a bachelor of arts" and then "He is an engineer by training". If you are aware of education in India. one doesnot become an engineer by training after obtaining a BA. These are contradictory statements which I resolved to rectify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.11.162.171 (talk) 06:10, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

As a result, mere belief in the principles of Judaism does not make one a Jew. Similarly, non-adherence by a Jew to the 613 Mitzvot, or even formal conversion to another religion, does not make one lose one's Jewish status. Thus the immediate descendants of all female Jews (even apostates) are still considered to be Jews, as are those of all their female descendants. Even those descendants who are not aware they are Jews, or practice a religion other than Judaism, are defined by this perspective as Jews, as long as they come from an unbroken female line of descent. As a corollary, the children of a Jewish father and a non-Jewish mother are not considered to be Jews by halakha unless they formally convert according to halakha, even if raised fully observant in the mitzvot.[1]

Hi DVdm,
First off, thanks for sending a personal talk page message that clarifies your issues with my edits.
I do agree that my sources do not qualify as reliable sources by wiki standards; however, I think they are more than adequate given the claims made within my edits. The "identifying reliable sources" wiki page states that "A lightweight source may sometimes be acceptable for a lightweight claim, but never for an extraordinary claim." Since I view my edits as containing "lightweight" claims (i.e., claims that are intuitively credible to any intellect), I believe its fine. I certainly would search extensively for "said" reliable sources if I had more time availability and if it was less time-consuming. Please let me know on my talk page how you now feel about my edits, and if your opinion is unchanged, could you please specify the types of sources you would consider reliable (i'll also check out the wiki page for reliable sources that you sent b4).

Hey DVdm,
collection.qtrax.com is legit lyrics site that is powered by LyricFind. Recently, the legit lyrics site MetroLyircs got an approval from Wikipedia to submit their own links as external links by bot. We, too, are working on that approval - by bot. As long as MetroLyrics are posting their links and in a legit way, so should we. We are licensed publishers and our data is no spam whatsoever. please do not remove our links anymore. Thanks so much. Lilamay2013Lilamey2013 (talk) 09:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Dear friend, on Rehevkor's talk, and also on the spam page, you declare that Qtrax is now using a bot. This is an incorrect claim. MetroLyrics, owned by CBS Interactive is a commercial website that uses a bot for external links. Qtrax only added links manually. Never with a bot (yet). Please reconsider your claims, which tends to make other editors think that Qtrax is a spam or pirate service. Qtrax is the only service in the world that has license to distribute LEGAL music for FREE. Yes, music that is licensed by record labels (meaning we do pay the artist every time our users listen or download the artist's song), but provide it 100% for users.
Furthermore, in my opinion, placing and external link on a Wikipedia page of a notable song, that redirect to an official and licensed page, is quite a great service both to Wikipedia's readers, and musicians. Both enjoy.
I beg you to be precise in your claims. Much thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.183.0.181 (talk • contribs) 14:22, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I believe there are two issues here: 1) I updated a stale link on the Bernoulli Principle page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli%27s_principle?diff=581744007) 2) I added new links on other pages
Here are the reasons I think the Bernoulli link should stay: 1) The previous link to home.earthlink.net/~mmc1919 has been on that page for many years (at least six). According to the official policy as I understand it, links to material by known subject experts are allowed. All previous reviewers have kept that link because they agree that I am a known subject matter expert. In other words, everyone was happy. 2) The Bernoulli page was created by myself, a physicist, for teaching a college class. To my students I was an expert 3) The previous link was going to my ancient earthlink account. I'm dropping that account. 4) I still receive messages that people enjoy my animation. You have cited the official policy, but unless you have additional information I would still say the Bernoulli link should stay. Do you have any additional information? I did take the time to read the documentation but there may have been something I overlooked since I am not a regular wikipedia expert. I incorporated what I did find into my argument above.
I am fine with the removal of the non-Bernoulli page links. I am not a proven-expert in those fields. Markonius (talk) 16:21, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
I understand that I have reverted multiple times, but as far as I understood the rules, I was reverting vandalism, which is not edit warring. Note that after the third revert for addition of unsoured content, Huggle automatically assumes and reports vandalism. See also Duoduoduo's comment on blocking admin's talk page
Decline reason:
If, as seems likely, you mean that because Huggle uses the word "vandalism" you feel free to assume that it is vandalism, and not decide for yourself whether it is, then you are completely misunderstanding Huggle. Every time you run Huggle, assuming you have not made some change to the default configuration, it warns you that you are responsible for your edits, and that use of Huggle is no excuse for what you do. (I can't quote exactly what it says, as I am not using Windows and therefore can't run Huggle to check the exact message, but it essentially conveys that message.) It is your responsibility to check what you are doing using Huggle, and if you fail to do so then you are every bit as responsible for what you do as you would have been had you made the same edits without any involvement of Huggle.

Hi there, I'm new to wikipedia editing and forgot to add in a summary as to why I edited, however the content I removed was because it was very obviously biased and unscientific. I'm not quite sure how to restore the content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.34.155.250 (talk) 00:29, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
I would like to know how my lego pinball sentence to the pinball wiki was vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.47.247 (talk) 14:40, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
hi, yeah, it was actually a test to see what happened if we did an uknown link to another wiki page.
Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. 2AwwsomeTell me where I screwed up. See where I screwed up. 16:58, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey DVdm. I am perecinque. You said: 'I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tidal force, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! ' I cannot readd because i forgot what i wrote. But i would like to add as a reliable source in my next attempt, the same source that is being used now in the article. How do i do that reliably? TY! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Perecinque (talk • contribs) 19:35, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
You recently removed my edit on the page 'Kinetic Energy'. I stated that the correct formula for finding Kinetic Energy is 'KE=mv' and not 'KE=(mv^2)/2' as is incorrectly written in most textbooks and on the current wikipedia page. The problem stems from the misguided 'Work Energy Theoerm' which states that 'Work done is equal to force through a distance'. This statement is incorrect and it can be easily proved that work done is in fact equal to the force applied to an object multiplied by the time it is applied. The proof of the accepted equation involves acceptance of the Work Energy Theorem, and the proof of the Work Energy Theorem involves acceptance of the Kinetic Energy eqauation. It is not hard to see the problem. For some reason unknown to myself, the vast majority of the Physics world has missed this, apart from one or two articles I have found on the internet, one of which I referenced. Please look into this yourself and think about the problem (providing you have a basic physics knowledge), and if possible, prove me wrong, instead of removing my edit without good reason (I understand that many people wouldn't want to accept this as it means they have been wrong for many years). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seanhenley (talk • contribs) 13:35, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey DVdm, how are you? I am Petrb, one of huggle developers, and you are currently subscribed as a beta tester of huggle on meta (meta:Huggle/Members. You may not have noticed, but this week I released first beta precompiled installers for ubuntu and microsoft windows! Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta has all the links you need. So if you can, please download it, test it and report all bugs that is really what we need now. Don't forgot that as it's just a beta it's unstable and there are some known issues. Be carefull!

Hey its bpoojary, you removed my content for Fine structure decoded, what do you mean by secondary post? My manuscript is published here http://www.ijapm.org/show-32-144-1.html.

you removed some of my edits because I did not include the source?

Dear DVDm, thanks for your immense contributions to wikipedia. I just discovered that you previously deleted the article:olatunde olalekan. The article is a stub about a notable biochemist and only needs an expansion .it does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion. Read more about criteria for speedy deletion. Please kindly restore the page:olatunde olalekan so as not to seem insensitive . Thanks(Biomolecules (talk) 23:17, 1 December 2013 (UTC))
Hey, please replace what I wrote. There are loads of entries on that page without any references. If you want entries, ask. Don't just censor what I have written. This is not Wiki policy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Disfasia (talk • contribs) 15:04, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
DVdm, *Please* help me understand and reconcile the following statement from the Philosophy of Science article with relativity's insistence on observer dependent measurements yielding valid differences in whatever is observed and measured: ["Objectivity of observations in science... It is vitally important for science that the information about the surrounding world and the objects of study be as accurate and as reliable as possible. For the sake of this, measurements which are the source of this information must be as objective as possible."] Yet the observer-dependent basis of relativity (subjectivity in the broadest philosophical sense) prevails, and no philosophical criticism of its observer-dependent basis is allowed. The lead of every article is written by Wiki editors, and each reflects the *philosophical assumptions* underlying each article. This is most obvious in the field of relativity, in which the standard of objectivity cited above is clearly disregarded in favor of observer dependence. The results then negate the objective (established fact) and affirm the latter, as in my last example. The relativity of simultaneity would insist that the two beams strike their respective targets at different times (as differently observed)rather than a the same time, as factually established by the situational parameters. The same applies to my previous (and, yes, persistent) example of the diameter of Earth, which *does not in fact change* with changes in frames from which it might be measured. Since personal opinions and such criticisms as mine are not allowed, please explain why the article leads I have criticized are allowed to favor the philosophy of observer-dependence and disregard the most basic scientific intent to be objective, as above. Thanks. LCcritic (talk) 18:34, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Also note that I honestly have no desire to discuss any aspect of the subject with you, as it is obvious—to me—that you have no idea what the subject is about. It has been explained many times by many contributors, and it looks like you are not interested—see the section wp:IDIDNTHEARTHAT in our guideline about wp:disruptive editing. I cannot help you and I am not here to educate you, and, I guess, neither can and are the other contributors that you have come in contact with on the relativity talk pages. I think it's best that you go elsewhere with your philosophy, as Wikipedia definitely seems not the place — see wp:NOT. Sorry. - DVdm (talk) 19:08, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
You see, that is what you don't seem to understand even after explicitly being told several times by several people and having been pointed to our wp:talk page guidelines so many times. Read the guideline. Among other things it says:"In other words, no criticism of the dictum of observer dependence is allowed, even in the talk page dedicated to discussion of the relativity of simultaneity!"
That talk page is not dedicated to discussion of the relativity of simultaneity. Not even close. The talk page is dedicated to discussion of the article about the relativity of simultaneity. - DVdm (talk) 21:06, 3 December 2013 (UTC)* Stay on topic: Talk pages are for discussing the article, not for general conversation about the article's subject (much less other subjects). Keep discussions focused on how to improve the article. Comments that are plainly irrelevant are subject to archival or removal.
So you refuse to explain why you and others were allowed to discuss parameters, examples and requirements for simultaneity in the context of relativity but I was not. You also refuse to address my title for this discussion with you, i.e., under what rule editors are allowed to endorse a specific philosophy when writing such an article, i.e., that simultaneity depends on observers... even though my example proves otherwise. You are not only not interested in real criticism in this discussion but you will not allow my criticism of the article (in the talk page) addressing the observer-dependent philosophy/assumption upon which the whole article is based. This is going nowhere. Please disabuse yourself of the pretense that there is no hierarchy of authority here. You bend the rules to suit yourself, threaten to block me for protesting/criticizing and will not address any of these criticisms. Done. LCcritic (talk) 18:54, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
I am sorry, but nobody here seems interested in your criticisms. You will have to learn to live with that, and I cannot help. - DVdm (talk) 20:28, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello! We edited information on Alderney Week earlier today and received a message from you saying that I should not add unsourced information. However, the information that is on the page is incorrect. If you look at http://www.alderneyweek.net/?pid=thisyear you will see that the Daft Raft race took place on a Thursday in 2013 and the Man Powered Flight and Duck Race were held on the Saturday. You will also notice that tide times are given for each day of the programme because this has an impact on the events that are held on any given day. There was no Battle of the Bands on Thursday or any other day of Alderney Week because this event has not been part of the programme for a number of years. We fully respect the fact that Wikipedia needs to be credible but it would have been helpful if you had asked for sources rather than threatening to block us. As the organisation with responsibility for tourism on Alderney (and as employees of the States of Alderney) our primary purpose is to make sure the island is represented accurately on a valued resource such as Wikipedia. Please can you advise us on the best way for us to get our edits reinstated? Many thanks--21:51, 12 December 2013 (UTC)Visitalderney (talk) --Visitalderney (talk) 21:51, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

I was actually editing to match his primary notability, re:electrical engineer and inventor, not all his sub-monikers. I actually see no problem with nationality, its settled at the main article and any sniping around DAB pages and the like can be referred to the main article. He has a referenced national description so no need to dumb it down on Wikipedia. But left it for now ;) Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 20:34, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Im sorry about the errors on the pages, im not real proficient at computers yet, I have tried to get accurate numbers for the albums on here, but since there is no real way of getting them have to go by what numbers have been given on certain websites.
