Have nothing to add. Just wanted to make a reference to a trajectory on a planet being a simplification of a planetary orbit. If you throw a stone it is in a perfect orbit until the two objects make physical contact. Claiming it is a parabola without mentioning it is due to simplification makes people think earth is flat and forget being on the outside of a sphere and the stone thrown is traveling in space.

Your article about gravity is slowly getting more even handed but still lags real time. It is a fact that the Standard Model does not recognize time dilation and its consequences in form of spacetime, spacetime gravity, special relativity and general relativity. It is also a fact that the Standard Model tolerates Newton's mathematical treatment of gravity without announcing it as part of the standard model. Since You profess to possess the required wisdom about this subject, why don't you update the article to closer reflect what is known and recognized about gravity today.

Hello DVdm,
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

When you reverted this edit, you said it was a removal of unsourced content. That content had an inappropriate tone, yes, and I'd be willing to grant that there was excessive synthesis, but it certainly wasn't unsourced. Please be more careful in your edit summaries.

A tag has been placed on your user page,(struck—see below) User talk:Certificatessuccess, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

why did u remove my edit ur mean — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.95.180 (talk) 21:09, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi! This is Shuchong. About the mistake on page Minkowski diagram I recently edited, I believe I am right.
First, a few sentences after the formula \tan(\alpha)=\frac{1}{\beta}, there is a contradicting statement, “This implies that the slope of x′ is \frac {\Delta ct}{\Delta x))=\beta =\tan(\alpha)”. I believe the first one is a typo. This is a really simple conclusion in any textbook on relativity. But currently I am looking for a proper citation instead of textbook to make my edit more convincing.
Second, I found out that on the same page in every other language, the formula is \tan(\alpha)=\beta. The english page is the only one where the formula is \tan(\alpha)=\frac{1}{\beta}. I believe the English version is wrong.
Thank you for you time! Shuchongding (talk) 19:06, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello! I made the edits yesterday to the page on the name Adel because it had a lot of unnecessary information (for example, 20 different pronunciation playbacks) and also included false etymology, with a incorrect list of people bearing the name. The European/Germanic name "Adel" is not related to the Arabic name "Adil/Adel" (as the page for "Adil" itself notes) or the Hebrew name "Adiel." I wanted to remove the incorrect information and examples, as well as the superfluous pronunciation guides.
Thanks for your note about leaving an edit summary. I thought I had left a clear enough one, but I haven't been doing this for very long so I'm still learning what the conventions are. 50.255.144.29 (talk) 13:23, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi DVdm. Thanks for the deletion, at Ischia, of something that seems to be hardly relevant. As I tried to suggest in my edit summary, I was assuming it was ""Salvatore the Fisherman", July 1924, in Cosmopolitan" listed at List of works by W. Somerset Maugham. Your own edit summary comment seems to suggest that "Salvatore" is missing from, or may be mis-titled at, that article? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:54, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for peacefully giving your reason for removing the edit. My issue with this is that calling intelligent design is a prejudiced point of view & I will explain why. The best way to determine if a science based statement or theory is correct, is that the one who verifies it must look at it objectively if there isn't evidence for or against it when investigating. To put it into perspective, think of belief as a scale of 1 - 11. On (11) you have the side that has concrete evidence and on (1) you have faith. When one does research they must see to it that they are open to either side of the argument that has proof & presents all findings on (6) level so that others may interpret it for themselves.This (6), in terms of theistic belief, would be agnosticism because unlike atheism (11) it does not assert that there is no God, it does not assert that there is & it also doesn't call the argument of intelligent design an "illusion" (11). You seem like a reasonable person & I'm sure you understand my concerns. I didn't come to represent a religion but I almost became an atheist until I looked for convincing scientific evidence for the existence of God & now I am a theist because I put my religious belief on the line by searching for scientific evidence. Multiple modern non-religious scientists state that Evolution is unscientific, in fact, Charles Darwin himself never claimed it to be true. He only formulated this theory & gave his own reasons for it. I will no longer make any edits on this subject before consulting other users but I ask that you & other users revert to (6) at least & be open to new findings as this is what science is, a self correcting system. PLEASE consider this. Repent.The End is Near (talk) 15:17, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello DVdm,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Apeiron is a reliable source. So is Stowe. To see them as unreliable is a subjective view based entirely on orthodoxy. And there is no OR. The conclusions are from Van Flandern, not from me. Also, there are plenty of articles on Wikipedia that have truly unreliable sources and OR and that are entirely biased and there are no reverts for them and not even any disclaimers. In fact, this article is biased and without any disclaimers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Capt. Ciel (talk • contribs) 15:19, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dvdm, I feel confused when I get a message from you on this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:203.78.116.212 because of an act of vandalism, because I never edited the article and never even opened it, but I found that the vandalism was written from my ip. The ip address was only used by my family, and I did not get a history from my family device that showed the existence of such vandalism. So what really happened to my IP address that was registered on Wikipedia? can give me any solutions?

I'm not very sure whether you have added on my talk page as a administrator. I agree that we can discuss anything on my talk page, but I am not comfortable with
on my talk page, if you are adding
to my page, not as an administrative role. Could you please help to remove
on my discussion page? Of course, we could continue our discussion, if there is anything we need to talk about. Thanks for your consideration.
Since you are an experienced user, could you please let me know who can decide when edit(s) are disruptive? Any users? Or administrators only? Thanks for your time :).
P.S. I'm not sure how to include administrators in this discussion (without reporting). Otherwise, I will include them for an open discussion to make things clear. Also, again, I have figured out synthetic research on my own and corrected myself, and nobody clearly advised me on this particular violation (every contribution/claim I made was proven in the page itself, therefore belonging only to synthetic research).

You recently reverted a change to the "Normal Number" page on wikipedia and cited this IP: 132.62.88.128 (for the record, I personally have never been to that page, nor made changes to it).
While 132.62.x.x is the IP space for Kirtland AFB (publicly available information), this IP is not tied to an end user machine, and is instead a network level device on Kirtland AFB - hence, everyone on Kirtland who reaches the internet through that device (likely everybody, I would have to check with the NCC as to what device it specifically is, but I presume it is the border router that is NATing for the base, since my specific computer has a 129.238.x.x IP that is specific to my organization on base) and opens Wikipedia is getting this "you've been bad" message.
While I understand the reason behind "page security", to ensure the correctness of information (as much as possible) on Wikipedia, from this side of the equation, I have to provide you the same feedback - there is not a 'single editor' coming from the IP you are listing - it is a border device that likely handles most, if not all, standard internet traffic to/from the base. It would be impossible from your end to determine who the end user is that is making these changes.
There is a specialized group of investigators for the USAF who work for 24th Air Force who investigate malicious activity (malware, hacking, remote code execution, exfiltration, etc), however I doubt they would be willing to devote resources to finding the specific perpetrators of these "unwanted edits" using their internal logging capabilities.
This is common across all USAF bases - the only IP the "outside world" should ever see is our border router, and thus, knowing the actual perpetrator of "vandalism" (as wikipedia likes to call it) is virtually impossible.

Hi! I have noticed your edits at my talk page and at Fermat number. What exactly is the statement added by me which really needs a citation? The fact that Fermat numbers are terms of a numerical sequence (which is easily noticeable as the statement "The sky (without clouds) is blue" as specified somewhere here in some wikiprocedures) or the specification of main motivation of Fermat studying these types of numbers in regards to primality? This aspect re primality is already in article in a section but without explicit acknowledgement of main motivation. I think that is only aspect which requires citation.

Hello DVdm,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

Your kindness has permitted me to express some of my interpretations of special relativity in the talk pages. Merci beaucoup ! It contrast's with the attitude of French Wikipedia. After three years of fruitless discussions , they too admitted that some of my interpretations were correct but ... , immediately after that , they ousted me with an idiotic pretext ! In French we call that " le coup de pied de l'âne ..." !
Well I am 83 now , it's time to leave ...
A little secret : Professor Levy-Leblond had the kindness to confirm me by message , that my views of special relativity are correct. I expressed them in my Internet pages (see "the belt trick with Geometric Algebra " ... !).

Hello DVdm,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 828 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

1) The link is a more authoritative source than the one you reverted to. No doubts that Einstein knows the subject a little bit more than the link you provide. Am I wrong?
2) Mass is an "extensive property", therefore I wrote it. Why do you prefer just "property"?
3) In the Einstein-Infeld's book I cited, at page 33 the authors explain that the methods to measure the "inertial mass" and the "gravitational mass" are different, (1) pushing a body by applying a mechanical force or (2) weighing the body on a scale. Whatever the method results always coincide. Their conclusions literally reported: "In modern physics the identity of the two masses is fundamental". Did I miss something? Please let me know what you think about it and if you have time help me to write more clearly the above-mentioned concepts. I'd like to edit it again and I would appreciate your help.

4) Please would you read two Wikipedia articles, "Velocity" and "Acceleration". I think that in the article we should prefer "change in velocity" over "change in acceleration". Do you agree? If not, why? As I wrote, not English but Italian is my mother tongue, therefore I might be missing something. Fabio Maria De Francesco (talk) 06:12, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
You reverted two of my edits on Jill Liddington.
I saw you are using a tool called Huggle. Are you able to see which edits you are reverting? How could you have reverted an edit from nearly 2 months ago, which corrected a broken link? This makes me not want to participate in Wikipedia. Why bother if you and other admins are going to flagrantly disregard valid edits in the process? Kimdorris (talk) 03:40, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
After you reverted the change I made there is now a "Cite error". Think again whether you consider this to be constructive. 93.224.102.195 (talk) 10:09, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi DVdm, this is SciencePhD. I have the book where Stephanie Lawrence identified and tested for the six dimensions of everything, ("Our Six Dimensions," 2019. Discovery Publishing: Morrison. isbn: 978733325707) Where do I include this verifiable data source in the revision I typed. I can include the citation, I don't know where you relocated the revision. Thank you, Science PhD SciencePhD (talk) 03:21, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi DVdm You were right that the expression was correct, but with my suggestion the substitution is little bit simpler. I saw this only after I did undo to your undo. YoavDvir (talk) 09:09, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
I removed 2024 in the corresponding years as this should be updated in year 2023.
Thank you.

Hi I am going through a few random user talk pages as I've seen on some recent changes thing. Is there a way to recover the password for the original account above please? Mike2Matthews17 (talk) 10:58, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi I’m new to editing on Wikipedia so I would like help with writing a professional sounding source. My paradox is What I was to know was that there was nothing for me to know.
I achieved this through through years of psychosis and grandiose thinking, thinking that I know everything there is to know Missevangelinegreen (talk) 22:19, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello User:DVdm I provided sourced information https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Colinrhammond&oldid=prev&diff=930733860 then got castigated for doing so then you tell me off for removing the reference... kindly advise. Colinrhammond (talk) 15:31, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
I clearly provided a source in my edit of the page speed. I truly hate the manner in which people like you ruin Wikipedia with your arbitrary domineering over others. The fact of the matter is that Myanmar and a handful of jurisdictions in the Caribbean use miles per hour on their road signs, I provided a source indicating that, and as much as I love Wikipedia, there’s a special place in hell for people like you who prioritise personal power trips over the spread of knowledge. 174.138.198.241 (talk) 13:36, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Hello. As you see there is no source for "The journal is indexed in EBSCO Information Services, which provides a range of library database services." You must log in to any database service to find whether or not a specific journal is indexed there or not. Therefore, it is requested to undelete my edit, or you may want to verify my edit by checking the following links: Scopus (Click here), Scimago (Click here), and DOAJ (Click here)
I would re-add the edit, however, if you think that it is needed to add the sources in other way, I would be very pleased if you add them on my behalf because I am a beginner, and the Wiki environment is not very familiar to me. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohammad Javanshiry (talk • contribs) 10:19, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Dvdm, thanks for all you do on Wikipedia. May you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. (and if you don't celebrate Christmas please feel free to take that as a Happy Hanukkah, a great Dhanu Sankranti, a blessed Hatsumode, or whatever holiday you want to insert there.)
