Original research and verifiability

You may find the Wikipedia policy pages on original research and conflict of interest informative, along with the BRD page on the Bold, Revert, Discuss process. Now is the time to discuss whether your innovative harmonic technique fits on Wikipefia, at the Talk:Guitar harmonics page. Regards, Just plain Bill (talk) 11:49, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On original research, recordings of the harmonic exist which are verifiable. So just because you don't want to believe that it doesn't exist as a harmonic doesn't mean it doesn't especially when there is a repeatable process and recorded evidence. Furthermore the recordings were published and contain a copy write, so literally no clue what more proof you'd need. Conflict of interest, ok then you post it. Attempting to bar knowledge from reaching the masses because you believe something doesn't exist, even when there is both verifiable evidence and a process to reproduce. I understand that it is strongly not recommended, but I'd rather people knew about the musical effect and how to reproduce it then not. Wiki is after all an educational resource. You can pull it again, but I suggest actually trying it for yourself first as again it is repeatable. If you need I better explanation of what exactly is going on I'll provide one but its a thing, it exists, there is proof, and anyone can do it. Now then if you believe someone else discovered it first then that is another story and I suggest that you update the entry with proof, their name, and the name that it was provided. However to this date and with degree in musicology I have yet to find another source. heydanseegilHeydan Seegil (talk) 16:38, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The thing about original research is that it doesn’t fly on Wikipedia. Has anyone other than yourself written about this technique? It needs to be published in a reliable source if this is going to stay in the encyclopedia. Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth. I have no doubt that you can excite sympathetic vibrations in strings beside the one being plucked; I hear similar things all the time. It’s just that Wikipedia is not for publishing that kind of stuff, until it gets noticed and written up where the rest of us can see it, and count on the reporting being reliable. Just plain Bill (talk) 17:31, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is though is that it does not say that at all it only says it is not recommended. As for the Harmonic itself it is cited. Just because you choose to ignore facts does not mean they do not exist. Again there is a repeatable process and proof cited. You're literally acting like a child that will not accept the facts. This exists, it has been recorded, and it can be again. It is a reliable technique that is up there were everyone can reproduce it. If you believe that my edit is false and that someone else discovered it then you need to edit it with that rather than deleting it because you refuse to accept the facts. Please desist from attempting to cover up knowledge and spread ignorance. Heydan Seegil (talk) 21:47, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I should also mention that because it is cited that if you personally have an issue with me citing it. Then you are more than welcome to re-add the entry as is with the reference under your own name so that you may feel comfortable with the facts. So you know if you feel this strongly then you could always repost it as the facts still stand, because it does exist and it has been written up and recorded even though in your delusion you refuse to accept it. I figure that way you can feel more comfortable about it. Heydan Seegil (talk) 21:55, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:V and WP:NOR are two of the three core policies at Wikipedia, the other one being WP:NPOV. They are not just recommendations. Your soundcloud reference is a self-published source, which is not considered reliable for Wikipedia purposes. Somebody else adding it does not turn it into a reliable source; it is still self-published. Just plain Bill (talk) 22:24, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bill, please cite how and why the Siegel Harmonic (or whatever other name you believe it to be under) occurs. Please include your source. Until that time the only known recording, which was published on a server that I do not own and filed with a copy right containing a description of being the first known recording of the Siegel Harmonic. Furthermore I did not cite my white paper on it for the specific reasons of avoiding OR and instead provided a copy of the actual sound and method for reproduction so that the source is not conjecture but irrefutable fact. If you cannot provide any other discoverer or explain the process in detail then frankly you are purposefully omitting knowledge from the public sphere due to some rather sever delusions. I'd recommend you see someone about your lack of ability to appraise fact from fiction. As in the fact that this exist, has been recorded, and can be done by anyone rather than the fiction that sound does not exist.

Again if you believe this not to be a thing then please provide a source for what creates it so that the knowledge will not be lost due to your desire oppress the pursuit of knowledge. Heydan Seegil (talk) 22:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did not claim somebody else published this before you did, and I have no reason to believe it is not a thing. If you have published a monograph on it, you can show a link to that on Talk:Guitar harmonics#Siegel Harmonic and let the WP editing community work with it there. To stay on their good side, have a look at WP:NPA and WP:3RR. Just plain Bill (talk) 22:58, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll post the monograph when I get home.Heydan Seegil (talk) 23:04, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Bill, I obtaining the paper from the International Journal of Scientific Research and Publications. Since the phenomenon is in existence, and it is agreed that it is a sound I will be posting the section again. Please use the CITATION NEEDED flag to flag the sections you believe need further citation rather than intentionally omitting knowledge from the public sphere. I believe that is why that flag specifically exists.

Hey Bill, peer reviewed Journal for Siegel Harmonics was added. Sorry about the delay. You should check the acknowledgements. ;D — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heydan Seegil (talk • contribs)

That paper in an open access journal shows no signs of peer review. Speaking of other eyes reviewing this, Talk:Guitar_harmonics#Siegel_Harmonic is a better place to continue discussing it. Another suitable place would be WP:RSN. Just plain Bill (talk) 17:10, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bill, you are illiterate. The first sentence on the home page for the journal announces that it is a "International Journal of Scientific & Technology Research is an open access quality publication of peer reviewed and refereed international journal from diverse fields in sciences, engineering and technologies that emphasizes new research, development and their applications.". They do the peer review on before publishing, would you like a copy of the originality report and the copyright? So first you pull it because 'there is no sound', even though there is. Then you pull it because 'there is no peer review', even though there was. What will be your next delusion?

I think conflict of interest comes into play here. If you discovered it, you probably shouldn't be writing about it, just as if you were writing as the CEO of a company. !dave 17:40, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I guess Sir Isaac Newton didn't discover gravity either? Bill plenty of discoverers write their own papers and then submit them for a peer review as I have. I literally did exactly what you asked, even acknowledged you for it. I'm issuing you a warning for vandalism and if you have an issue with the monograph you should contact the publisher as they did a review and it was internationally recognized.
