Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Speed of light are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 19:48, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
Please stop using talk pages such as Talk:Einstein synchronisation for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article; not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 11:19, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article A Relativistic Trolley Paradox is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A Relativistic Trolley Paradox until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. - DVdm (talk) 06:48, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

I noticed that A Relativistic Trolley Paradox was being considered for deletion, and "rescued" it for possible use in Wikiversity. You can find it at Wikiversity:Special:Permalink/1578330, where it will be safe from deletion. If it is deleted from Wikipedia, the simplest thing to do would be to make it a Wikiversity resource. I am also interested in creating an online journal that resides on Wikimedia, and we could make it our first "refereed" article in that journal. A "zeroth-edition" mock up edition with unrefereed articles can be found at Wikiversity:Second Journal of Science.
I have 21 refereed publications, mostly in physics education, including a few in AJP. I was too busy to read your paper, but AJP sets high standards, and that is all I need in order to heartily welcome you to Wikipedia and Wikiversity. I also lived in Novosibirsk on and off from 1984-1986.
If you have any questions, just ask. --Guy vandegrift (talk) 23:40, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Since I have other projects going on, I won't work on this much for a while. But to relieve stress I like to play with Inkscape, and think we should substitute images because the original jpeg looks fuzzy and also due to copyright concerns. I always make svg files, and usually copy from other files on commons. I couldn't find trolley, so I substituted Charles Brady King car.--Guy vandegrift (talk) 17:39, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use talk pages for inappropriate discussions, as you did at Talk:Relativistic Doppler effect. - DVdm (talk) 19:31, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Relativistic trolley paradox, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
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 removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. DVdm (talk) 19:02, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
