Edit reverted

I have reverted your edit to length contraction, in which you attempted to differentiate between measured/apparent length contraction and actual "physical" length contraction. Your edit does not appear to make sense in the context of the article, as the article is discussing the change in dimension of an object as observed from two different reference frames (that of an observer and that of the object itself), which reference frames are moving relative to each other. Since the theory of relativity tells us that all measurements are relative to the reference frame of the measurer (the observer), the concept of actual physical dimension change is meaningless in this discussion. Clearly, an observer moving with the object in question does not observe a change in dimension of the object; only the observer in a different frame (let's call it stationary) relative to the object observes a change in the object's dimensions. The change is due directly to the difference in their reference frames. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:36, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

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:Length contraction 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) 17:38, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

I understand that you added this material at my suggestion. I have opened a dialog with DVdm (talk · contribs) to address his removal of your comment. Let's see where that takes us. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:21, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

If you would like to converse with DVdm (talk · contribs), simply navigate to his talk page, and click the "edit this page" link at the top, the same way you edit any other Wikipedia page. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:22, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Note - Referring to this message on WikiDan61's talk page:

• After you posted this i.m.o. inappropriate talk page message, I removed it with the edit summary "Remove talk page chat per wp:TPG. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Article talk page is for discussing the article, not the subject."
• After you consulted WikiDan61, you posted this talk page message, which was more appropriate as a talk page message, so I replied with this message.

So your statement "After trying again to "disambiguate" the "physical" part of length contraction, DVdm again deleted my last attempt", is false. I did not delete anything. I replied to it. - DVdm (talk) 22:05, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Please stop abusing talk pages

Please stop using talk pages such as Talk:Length contraction 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) 18:30, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Reverted your strange addition

I reverted [1] as it's in the wrong place and also poorly formatted thereby screwing up the formatting of the page (making it very long as you stopped the comment from wrapping). If you want to add your comment somewhere where it's appropriate and without screwing up the formatting of your page, I won't revert that, but can't speak for anyone else.

However I'm not really sure what you're talking about anyway as from what I can tell, no one deleted your comments. In fact before my reversion your comment appeared twice on the same archive page. Both comments were poorly formatted and non wrapping until someone else corrected one instance [2] and I deleted the other, but they were clearly there and visible in entirety if you scrolled right or edited the page.

To avoid such problems, in future please do not start a sentence with a space unless you know what you're doing and also please learn how to use proper WP:Indenting.

I may normally offer more help but frankly your attitude means I can't be bothered. So I guess your best bet is to ask at WP:Help Desk with a better attitude next time you have problems with using wikipedia (but not for your own nonsense theories or disagreements with content).

I suggest you also learn to WP:AGF as you're made a bunch of what appear to be false accusations, e.g. here of stuff being deleted when all that seems to have happened is you screwed up the formatting and in fact your comments appeared twice until recently. Or of your question receiving special treatment when in reality the entirety of 26 October questions including your question were moved to an archive page on 29 October by the bot [3] and removed from the main RDS page on 31 October by the bot [4]. And the entirety of 27 October questions including the vomitting while pregnant question were moved to an archive page on 30 October by the bot [5] and removed along with the 28 October questions on 2 November [6] by the bot which apparently didn't run on 1 November [7] (it's run from someone's personal computer).

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Tests of special relativity may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Hello, I'm DVdm. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tests of special relativity, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. DVdm (talk) 20:10, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Relativity of simultaneity, you may be blocked from editing. - DVdm (talk) 08:01, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Philosophy of science, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 19:42, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Criticism of the theory of relativity. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - DVdm (talk) 19:43, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
