User talk:MagnetElectro

Welcome!

Hello, MagnetElectro, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or . Again, welcome.  Doug Weller talk 12:40, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Sorry about that, one of my first edits to be reverted was for the same thing

Wikipedia can be a strange beast to editors experienced with academia. Our articles are meant to be based on what reliably published sources say about a subject, and our own understanding and knowledge can't be used (except to find such sources and use them well). We call that original research. So, you need to read WP:NOR. WP:VERIFY and WP:RS to start, and probably as this interests you apparently WP:FRINGE which is part of WP:NPOV. We are a mainstream encyclopedia and these policies and guidelines help us keep it mainstream. I agree with you about Bauval by the way. His article is on my WP:WATCHLIST. When you use talk pages, sign with 4 tildes, eg ~~~~ If you do need help with a fringe subject, ask at WP:FTN. If you need general help there's the WP:TEAHOUSE.

... Question 1: All what I did is quote him from his own books, how wasn't that considered as proper source for the material which I supplied? MagnetElectro (talk) 11:37, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

As for all of these questions I've given you links to policy and guidelines, I suggest that you read them carefully and then ask at the Teahouse if you still have questions, thus getting someone else's comments. Doug Weller talk 17:36, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Bauval again

We rarely use self-published books or non editorial-controlled blogs as sources, and definitely not for living people. See WP:BLPSPS. Doug Weller talk 11:16, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

... Question 2: Self-published books do not count as sources?? They contain authentic material that is protected for copyrights by Law, so why not?? MagnetElectro (talk) 11:44, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

... Do you approve my latest edit on Bauval's page or should I expect yet another retraction from you? MagnetElectro (talk) 10:39, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

... There is a lot of material on youtube (which were NOT posted by me obviously), could I cite and quote that material on wiki? MagnetElectro (talk) 13:13, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Ibrahim Ibrahim

As the page says, it's a list of articles with the same name. Every entry must have an article. Doug Weller talk 11:17, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

... Question 3: Would an Amazon's profile description field suffice to link to an article about an author? MagnetElectro (talk) 11:35, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

I have added a couple of more entries on the pages of (103) and (33) numbers. MagnetElectro (talk) 22:22, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

... and I removed them. What the significance of a distance in the great pyramid in meters (or π meters) escapes me. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:08, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

... The significance thereof should indeed escape a computer engineer and mathematician, they were after all listed under the category of RELIGION rather than Science! Why would you even interfere therewith? The matter obviously lies outside your fields of expertise, shouldn't you have just passed on your worries to some other colleagues of yours (who are versed in this area) rather than claiming superpowers on wikipedia? MagnetElectro (talk) 09:33, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

... I have UNDONE Arthur Rubin's subjective (yet unintentional) vandalism of editing my entries while offering a description on the TALK pages for this. MagnetElectro (talk) 10:22, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

I have created the article [Ibrahim ibrahim] MagnetElectro (talk) 16:08, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

I have added the following line "but the physical cross-sectional distance between their openings on the northern and southern faces of the pyramid equals to 33π as discovered by Ibrahim Ibrahim" on the page wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza#King's_Chamber MagnetElectro (talk) 16:49, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, MagnetElectro. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 18:04, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

No advertising, publicizing or promoting content is taking place, just citation as you yourselves have confirmed dear esteemed Wikipedia's staff members. MagnetElectro (talk) 20:04, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Are you Ibrahim Ibrahim?

I just noticed that your username is the name of one of the "publishers" of his books. If you are, you must (and it's a legal requirement, not a policy or guideline" comply with WP:PAID. Read it carefully and use the templates, etc. You must not promote your own work on Wikipedia. Doug Weller talk 18:06, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

@Arthur Rubin: thought you should see the above, including the AfD. Doug Weller talk 18:07, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

No money is being paid for editing Wikipedia's content. MagnetElectro (talk) 20:01, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

OK. Now please also answer the main question: are you Ibrahim Ibrahim? Bishonen | talk 20:08, 28 July 2018 (UTC).

Yes, I am. MagnetElectro (talk) 20:11, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
