Einstein's Earlier Publications and Connection to the Research Community

It's already on the Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific_publications_by_Albert_Einstein You removed the item, you can put it back and cross-link to this article, if you feel that's appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1401:86C9:222:69FF:FE4C:408B (talk) 02:01, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Gravity

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.

Avengers Endgame

I have a question about the Endgame We should not spoil the Endgame It should be a suspense It right Then give me your answer sincerely what's your opinion Rdjmcu (talk) 15:40, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

@Rdjmcu: our opinons are of no importance. Wikipedia's content guideline about spoilers is here: wp:SPOIL: "Spoilers are no different from any other content and should not be deleted solely because they are spoilers." - DVdm (talk) 15:43, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Ok I apologise for what I have done Rdjmcu (talk) 15:50, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

No problem! Happy editing . - DVdm (talk) 15:53, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

about your revert

what are you doing reverting my changes on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilias_Kasidiaris? i explained that the material i removed is Contentious material false or libelous information defamatory material maybe you made a mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acurate1 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

@Acurate1: Please sign all your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~) — See Help:Using talk pages. Thanks.

The content is properly sourced and seems relevant to other contributors. You must go to the article talk page and discuss with them. Otherwise you will get blocked. Do not forget to sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). - DVdm (talk) 15:01, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

sourced or not its against the rules you don't see that kind of personal or legal information publicly posted. 15:21, 13 May 2019 (UTC)Acurate1 (talk)

Others seem to disagree with you. That's what article talk pages are for. - DVdm (talk) 15:31, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

15:47, 13 May 2019 (UTC) ho disagrees with me you? cause the moment i publish the change you revert it back no one has the chance to disagree and how about the rules? content must not be Contentious material false or libelous information defamatory material how about human rights? https://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/FS_Reputation_ENG.pdf and https://www.echr.coe.int/documents/fs_own_image_eng.pdf 15:47, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Please sign all your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~) — See Help:Using talk pages.

The idea is that you talk about it on the article talk page to find out who disagrees. See the rules about wp:edit warring and wp:CONSENSUS. Calling content that you happen to dislike "contentious, false, libelous or defamatory" in an edit summary, or here on my talk page is not sufficient. You can and must make your case on the article talk page. - DVdm (talk) 16:07, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Acurate1 (talk) 16:36, 13 May 2019 (UTC) i don't see any mention on the human rights implication i cited. i do not dislike the content you are drawing conclusions out here i just think in my opinion and my basic common sense the content i removed is defamatory. please answer if you think the content must be remove in the basis of european human rights mentioned here https://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/FS_Reputation_ENG.pdf and here https://www.echr.coe.int/documents/fs_own_image_eng.pdf Acurate1 (talk) 16:36, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

I have no personal opinion about the content. You have put a message on Talk:Ilias Kasidiaris. Excellent. Now you'll have to wait for the other contributors to respond and see what happens. If nobody replies within, let's say, two days, you can remove the content, but do make sure that you mention the article talk page in your edit summary. Example: "Removed defamatory content, see talk page." Good luck. - DVdm (talk) 17:08, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Meanwhile, someone has replied, so you can start a discussion to find wp:CONSENSUS now. - DVdm (talk) 17:12, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.18

Hello DVdm,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

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:

• Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
• Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.

Reliable Sources for NPP

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.

Backlog drive coming soon

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.

News

• Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.

Discussions of interest

• A request for bot approval for a bot to patrol two kinds of redirects
• There has been a lot discussion about Notability of Academics
• What, if anything, would a SNG for Softball look like

Careful

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. DS (talk) 21:06, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

@DragonflySixtyseven:: Hi Dragon. Have a look at the statement in that edit: "One has to wonder if they've seen all of the aforementioned evidence", and then check the cited source [1]. The statement is nowhere near in that source, so the statement was effectively unsourced. - DVdm (talk) 22:38, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

"Statements not in cited source" will do. DS (talk) 23:36, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Sure, that would have done. I'd be willing to grant that . - DVdm (talk) 08:01, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:Certificatessuccess

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. 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

@Girth Summit: let it begone asap . - DVdm (talk) 12:02, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Our wish came true :) GirthSummit _(blether) 12:28, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Indeed. For the record, that was not my userpage as the above template seems to suggest. It was someone's user talk page, that I had created in order to warn them about their inappropriate promotional edits. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 12:44, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Why

why did u remove my edit ur mean — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.95.180 (talk) 21:09, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Please sign all your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~) — See Help:Using talk pages. Thanks.

I explained in my edit summary: "Correct, but not needed". Do not call people mean—see wp:assume good faith. The grammar was ok, and "both" is not needed in that context. Take it to the article talk page please. - DVdm (talk) 21:21, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

About the mistake in Minkowski diagram

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)

@Shuchongding: Yes, you are correct. Here alpha is the angle between the x- and x'-axis. My mistake. Sorry. - DVdm (talk) 19:58, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Edits to the Adel name page

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)

Perhaps it's best to open a little section on the article talk page first, and see what the other contributors think about removing that content. If nobody replies within a few days or so, you can probably go ahead and remove the content. Cheers and good luck! - DVdm (talk) 13:32, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, DVdm

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)

Hi, I think that your plan to "no longer make any edits on this subject" is a good idea. You might end up getting blocked. As others already explained, Wikipedia is not a debating club. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 15:57, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
