:I understand now that I shouldn't have tried to defend myself when I was attacked by Synaptic on the ] page, but it was not their first attack and no one pointed it out to me before. They keep doing it and I had never read the ] before until you pointed it out. Thank you. It helped. It's very difficult not to react to such attacks and just sit there waiting for someone to care to respond. If no one ever responds, especially if they don't know what is going on, who is right and who is wrong, the attack remains there for everyone to read and possibly also to make different real life decisions assuming that you have nothing to say to it and that you left in shame.

==Could you explain?== |
|
|
I noticed you restored ] although the AfD clearly stated it was meant to delete ] '''and''' its equivalent Brown's gas. Since both are not supported by ] I am confused as to why you think the AfD did not specifically address '''both''' articles because of ], ] and ].<font color="green"> ]</font><sup><i><font color="blue"><small>]</small></font></i></sup> 20:50, 11 June 2007 (UTC) |

|
|
|
== Brown's gas == |
|
|
|
|
|
The problem is conflating HHO and Brown's gas. Brown's gas is a longstanding chemistry term of the art, with clear historical background, and it's also still used in some materials processing industry. HHO is pseudoscience crap, if you'll pardon the mild profanity. If Brown's gas needs proper sourcing et al, then it should be sourced. Tarring Brown's gas with any HHO feathers is a mistake and a majority of the AFD voters seem to clearly realize that. |
|
|
|
|
|
That they happen to refer to the same physical thing doesn't make both pseudoscience. |
|
|
|
|
|
Anyways, that's my reasoning. We should fix/reference Brown's gas, sure. But it's not pseudoscience. ] 21:07, 11 June 2007 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
: It's not that simple. Both have aspects of legitimate science, aspects of protoscience/pseudoscience, and aspects of a hoax. Look at the Brown's gas claims of nuclear transmutation, for instance. (Oh wait, you can't; the article was deleted out of process...) |
|
|
: A lot of the bogosity like "sublimation" (actually oxidation) of tungsten has been claimed for both gases. |
|
|
: The welding part is perfectly legit, though not very useful in reality, according to some of the things I have read. (Can weld aluminum great, but can't weld steel...) |
|
|
: The water-fuelled car part is an obvious hoax. (Though this is mostly claimed by the reporters, and not the proponents themselves. Never trust a journalist when science is involved.) — ] 01:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC) |

== Blocked == |
|
|
Hi there. I see that I was blocked last month by you and requested unblocking, it was declined by Viridae (]) stating that ''"the sockppuppetry alone is well worth 48 hrs"''. If you will look at ] (copied from ], no 84) you will see that a) I had explained away the alleged sockpuppetry, b) it had already been dealt with (and no ban was felt necessary), c) after I took steps to prevent usage of my wi-fi by other user/neighbours, it stopped, and in any case d) it had happened weeks before this ban. |
|
|
In your you did not mention sockpuppetry. As for the incivility, I think I made good points, although should have made it clear I was quoting. Is there anyway to remove a block from the system after it has expired? ]<sup>]|]</sup> 12:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC) |

You are apparently one of those people who yells "abuse" immediately something happens they don't like? First, process for the sake of process violates ]. Second, despite your claim, after ''thirteen'' discussions already, this is in no way a "no consensus" issue. Third, removal of other people's comments is bad. Fourth, false accusations of abuse is also bad. Fifth, despite your claim I used no admin powers here. And sixth, you are an involved user with respect to this issue. All in all your actions here are highly inappropriate. ] 19:22, 12 June 2007 (UTC) |

|
|
:One more comment, though: ] is nothing more than Gene attempting to justify abuse of other editors. There are something like two people on the page who have actually been blocked for incivility, so chances are good that Gene initiated the arguments in the first place. And everything on the page s taken completely out of context; for instance, he keeps adding (and I keep removing) a section that says " 'a dick'- Captain Wikify ". I did '''not''' call Gene a dick, I said that he was '''acting like a ]'''. There is a clear difference, yet Gene continues to add my name and make it look like I'm an abusive vandal. Honestly, I think the page shouldn't even exist - most of the people on it are legitimate editors who said one thing that was made to say another by Gene when he took them out of context. --] ] 20:20, 15 June 2007 (UTC) |

:::I know... It's terrible timing, as the dispute hasn't even ended yet. But from what I'm seen, Gene is stubborn enough to continue adding my name to the page, and I know for a fact I'm stubborn enough to continue removing it. We'd both be in serious trouble because it would escalate to one of us blatantly attacking the other or me breaking the 3RR rule over and over and over; I figured that I'd try and MFD the page as quickly as possible to prevent this by getting rid of the page completely. I would appreciate your comment on the MFD. --] ] 20:42, 15 June 2007 (UTC) |

FYI, courtesy blanking is a rare but recurring event. We even have {{tl|afd-privacy}} to use when it is done.

I'm leaving things as is. I was planning on just letting the MFD run its course and opting out any sort of argument, but Gene has been pushing my buttons all day, and it's getting ridiculous. You've seen my comments on Radiant's talk page, the AN, and the MFD, so you know where I stand. Other than that, I've had it with Gene and his childish actions. --] ] 23:52, 15 June 2007 (UTC) |

My source is my own practice. A36 is used for rolled shapes other than wide-flange shapes -- angles and channels being the most common. A992 (a 50 ksi steel) is the preferred steel for wide-flange shapes which make up the vast majority of steel in most structures. Most plate is A36 or A572 Grade 50. |

Dear Administrator: related to your edition and to your comment alleging ], please allow to indicate the Wikilink to my shared answer: . In order to complement the answer please allow also to present a few words, from an aerospace engineer; words which very well convey my lay perception on this subject: |
|
|
<blockquote>"''The concept of the aether has returned in the form of the dynamic fluctuating vacuum energy that fills so-called empty space everywhere in the universe. The physics of the vacuum is shaping up as a major theme of frontier science in the 21st century.''" in </blockquote><br> Thank you for the attention that you have devoted to my editions. |

P.S.: It was nice read at your user page, only afterwards, that you work in the aerospace engineering; i am a systems admin, not a physicist, but coincidently my brother works in the aerospace engineering too. See you :-) |

|
I posted the following on the Enola Gay talk page. I don't know if you monitor that article, but you might be interested in the vandalism issue. |
|
|
|
|
|
I was wondering why this article was so spare, compared with its sister article on ]. A hint was on this talk page, where I saw discussion of things that were not now in the Enola Gay article. When I searched History to see when they were taken out, I learned that at 16:02 on May 18, 2007, a vandal with the screenname of Eric1sr had replaced the entire World War II History section with "enola gay was a flamer." Within the minute, MartinBot had reverted the vandalism and graffiti. Two minutes later Eric1sr struck again, removing the World War II History section, and again eight minutes after that, removing the Subsequent History section. This time, MartinBot didn't catch it. |
|
|
|
|
|
At 16:30 the same day, a live user, Nexonen, eliminated the graffiti, but did not restore the missing sections. For the next three months, people kept trying to add information to flesh out the article, but no one noticed that the problem was uncorrected vandalism. |

I have written you regarding your refference to "foam plasma". I read the article, but unfortunately did not retrieve it. I am not a physiscist, nor a scholar by any means. I am however, a skilled mechanic, and Veteran Marine. As a cold war Veteran, I obviosly stay abrest of the potential of NBC threats. |

I checked on your suggested article, 4.4.4.3.2. I also took a look at some simplified drawings(called 'schmatics') of the Teller-Ulam device. In particular, (as relating to your comments), I noticed in section 4.4.2, on page 6 of 4.4,elements of a thermonuclear device, a distinct depiction of a "POLYSTYRENE FILLED RADIATION CHANNEL" |
|
|
|
|
|
As a simple heavy equipment mechanic, I can understand how radiation and pressure travels this channel very quickly, I do however, agree with you that the polystyrene is nothing ore than a material that simply vaporizes under fission detonation. |
|
|
|
|
|
I mean, for crying out loud, a fusion bomb is just an advaced fission bomb, used to compress fusionable materials to critical mass. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Teller-Ulam device is similar to early gun-type fission bombs. They simply used a fission reacton to compress different materials. |
|
|
|
|
|
I don't know the math used at all, and I barely understand the Alarm Clock?Layer Cake thing, but I do know that I can obliterat polystyrene with my cigarette, cigarette lighter, acytelene torch, and my shotgun, and never produce fusionable plasma. |

I wanted to add that I believe the polystyrene "radiation channel" may be nothing more than an alignment tool for other components. Perhaps it is called a "Radiation Channel", becouse in the 50's, we had our coffee in paper cups. Velcro was first used on the Apollo 11 mission in '69 for Gods sake, |

== A copy of an email which I sent to unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org requesting that the duration of the 6 month block which you imposed on my account be reduced: == |
|
|
|
|
|
I am User:24.168.46.238 who was recently blocked from Misplaced Pages for six months by a Misplaced Pages administrator named "Georgewilliamherbert". |
|
|
|
|
|
Since my user talk page was protected by "Mr.Z-man" only 4 minutes after the block was issued by "Georgewilliamherbert", I was denied the opportunity to post an unblock request. I'd like to request that I be give the opportunity to do so now: |
|
|
|
|
|
I know that I was wrong for threatening legal action against "CyberGhostface", but I had asked him to stop bothering me by posting repeated warnings on my user talk page for minor violations of Misplaced Pages's rules, and he refused. I believe that he had a vendetta against me, as he seemed to be tracking my every edit, just waiting for me to do something in violation of Misplaced Pages' s rules so he could post another warning on my user talk page, which he knew would aggravate me and cause me to lose my temper. "CyberGhostface" had previously gotten me blocked for personal attacks, and I was stupid enough to fall for his ploy to get me blocked again. I lost my cool, and posted things on my user talk page that I shouldn't have. I know that there was no excuse for my behavior, and for that, I am very sorry. |
|
|
|
|
|
I'd like to respectfully ask that you shorten the duration of by block, as I feel that six months is far too harsh of a punishment. I was initially issued a 48 hour block by one administrator, but 7 hours later (without me making any additional offensive edits or postings on Misplaced Pages), it was arbitrarily extended to 6 months by another administrator. |
|
|
|
|
|
I promise that once my editing priviliges are reinstated, I will no longer engage in the kind of conduct (personal attacks, threats of legal action) that got me blocked. After reinstatement, I intend on creating an account on Misplaced Pages, and I will make constructive additions to the project. I invite you to check up on me periodically to see that I am keeping my word to you! |
|
|
|
|
|
I also promise to you that will have no further contact with "CyberGhostface", and since I have no intention of violation Misplaced Pages's rules in the future, he has no valid reason whatsoever to contact me or to post warnings on my user talk page. |
|
|
|
|
|
I feel that a reduction in the duration of my block is warranted, considering the questionable circumstances of how my block was arbitrarily increased from 48 hours to 4320 hours. |
|
|
|
|
|
Again, please accept my sincere apology for my past behavior on Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your consideration! |

''Note: I am using a friend's computer (IP Address: 64.38.198.61) simply to post this notice on the user talk page of the administrator who increased my block from 48 hours to 6 months. I am not a "sockpuppet", and I have no intention of using my friend's computer again.'' |

You have repeatedly made threatening and uncivil attacks on other Misplaced Pages editors on the Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Ships page. This is in clear and blatant violation of our civility policy and our no personal attacks policy. |
|
|
|
|
|
You are welcome to contribute to Misplaced Pages. You are not welcome to continue abusing or threatening other editors here. If you do so any further, you will be blocked for a brief period of time and warned again. |

This behavior is unacceptable for contributors here. If you chose to behave in a mature and responsible manner, and continue constructively editing, then you'll be welcome here. You're free to disagree and argue with other editors - just don't attack or insult them. If it would be unacceptable behavior at work, it's unacceptable behavior here. |

If you are not willing to meet our personal conduct policies, then please stop editing on your own. If you reject them and force us to block you then the situation will simply be regrettable on all sides. |

I don't mean to harass Shankbone, and if you look at his talk-page you will see that I have repeatedly asked to disengage with him and sought to ], even when he threatened me off-wiki. The problem is that he is not disengaging with me: twice, after I reached out to him, and got an agreement from him that all of our issues are resolved, he brings new frivolous complaints about me to multiple pages and refuses to stop. I don't know how I am possibly harassing him when he is following me around to articles he has nothing to do with, and all I have done is ask in response that David stop raising false complaints about me. (Cf. ]). If you can point to a diff of one of my edits that is objectionable, I will understand what you mean better. ] 03:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC) |

Hi George - I'm not engaging. Today I did a lot of clean up, and wrote a mighty fine article on ] - check it out! THF is continually going off half-cocked. I asked Mark a question, and THF, who feels entitled to make a mountain out of every molehill, a wiki-link to policy and guideline in every sentence despite his not following the same, went and opened a COIN on himself, and went around ranting. It's nice he can reference my Talk page, because he rips off all the arguments he gets in off his (sans archive). I think if you were to look at how many arguments I've been involved with in the last week, you would see they all pretty much involved THF. If you look at all of THF's arguments (where he hotkeys wikilinked policies and guidelines), they involve multiple editors (at least five, and I'd even say up to ten). Yet, ''I'm'' the problematic editor and harasser? I think THF has that wrong. When everyone else is the problem.... --<font color="#0000C0">David</font> ''']''' 03:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC) |

:And I'd also like to point out, George, that the arbcom precedent THF proudly displays he is in violation of himself. "Misplaced Pages is not a battleground by undue focus on Misplaced Pages articles regarding them or organizations affiliated with them, or on their editing activities" and "Misplaced Pages is not a publisher of original thought, Misplaced Pages is not a propaganda machine and Misplaced Pages is not a battleground." I could supply the diffs, and get people to back this up. But THF's disruption ''takes so much time.'' All I want to do is create! --<font color="#0000C0">David</font> ''']''' 03:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC) |

Hi, |
|
|
|
|
|
I just got ] about this article. I'm aware that there are many (thousands?) of list-based articles, but aren't they mainly lists of Misplaced Pages-based links, or facts, etc.? I wasn't aware that articles consisting only of lists of books and web-links were commonplace, hence my prod. Please correct me if I'm mistaken! |

:To be honest, anything at all that you could add to the article would be great. If you feel up to the job, it'd be great if you could clarify that the list is correct so far, possibly supplying references, add more companies and add information to fill wherever you see a questionmark. |

I'm inclined to reply "what user?" but I take your point. I would just also suggest that Misplaced Pages does support a policy against trolls. '''<font color="red">]</font><font color="gold">]</font>''' 19:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC) |

:Nope, he was a troll. Clever troll, eloquently expressive troll, a troll knowledgeable of Wikipolicy, but a troll all the same. Did you come across ] before? Of course he made one or two productive contributions (the Andijan massacre, as he seemed to keep pointing out!), but so far as I was concerned, and from the pages I saw, it was a matter of him insisting that the whole world was nuts or bias or both, and expecting others to "clean up their act" in His marginalist image. It's the old philosophical problem of how far one tolerates the intolerant. Is that another personal attack? Hmmmmm. I'll stop there.

Thanks for keeping an eye on this. I did not originally put that quote in, and just assumed it was the exact quote. It is a pretty good paraphrase. Funny thing of course is that our sockpuppet master had also referenced Murphy, but actually reinterpreted what he said. I put in the quote word for word now. So, he will have to focus on something else, and I am sure he will.] 01:16, 3 September 2007 (UTC) |

Hey buddy, just was hoping if you or whoever is responsible for making the page protected to stop making it that way and change it back so that anyone can edit the info. Also change in the plot about the character of Annie. She was not stabbed, she was brutally beaten and she survived the film. No one cares of about the cyber vandals or whatever. People care about seeing the correct info and if there is something not correct, then they have the option to change it to make it correct. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 22:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
