We seem to be in disagreement about the main sources I used when I wrote the article, which you have removed twice. Can you explain why you think they are spam? Both provide a long list of filaments and their uses and neither are promoting a particular manufacturer, once these references are removed much of the information in the article becomes unsourced. Also you removed an external link to a video taking the viewer through the process of the creation of the filament, again I don't understand on what basis you think this is spam. To help I have listed the references and video removed below:

Could you explain better what you're doing ? In particular, are you certain that the remaining sources provide all of the information given in that paragraph? '''If so, no complaint'''.

==Food Irradiation==
Hello, I just wanted to comment on the recent edit war on ]. I understand that it must have been frustrating dealing with that editor, but I do not think you handled this the right way. The dispute was over two sentences you removed from the article, but when you brought the issue to RSN, you only included one of the sentences. With the context of the second sentence it was pretty obvious that the first one was presented as a viewpoint of organic advocacy groups, not a statement of fact. Then the consensus on that thread was that advocacy groups cannot be used as sources for factual statements, but can be used for statements about their own point of view, which you misrepresented on the article talk page as blanket support for your removal of the text. It takes two to edit war, and you were the one who initially removed the text, and continued to revert every time it was re-added. Now that you've indicated you can accept a modified version of the original, I wonder why you didn't just suggest such a modification in the first place. The IP who keeps commenting on the talk page and RSN, whether or not it's same as the user who was edit warring, does have something of a point. Anyways, this is just my opinion on the matter, as a somewhat neutral third party. ] (]) 17:34, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

== Please stop ==

Please stop bullying, blocking and accusing me because of my edits and comments at ]. It is simply completely ridiculous to claim that I personally attacked Doc James because I suspected that he may be misunderstanding some surprising, ie. non-obvious mathematical facts. Misplaced Pages rules do not grant any users, no matter the background, any special authority that makes it an offense to hint them that they may err about something that is common fallacy.


</div>
I do not care about "qualified medical professional with peer-reviewed publications to his name". Misplaced Pages gives no special rights to contributors because of their professional or other background. If that were the case, it would mean that users are forced to disclose their formal education, professional background, academic achievements and most likey their identity, if they want to avoid their arguments and edits being given lesser weight than those of other editors. Doc James chose to disclose his identity, but that is in no way required or rewarded by wikipedia rules, so it is simply ''inacceptable'' to treat him as an authority over other users who chose to stay anonymous. What is required by Misplaced Pages rules is discussion, and it is the best argument that should win, not the user with the highest claimed authority.
</div>


] '''Guideline and policy news'''
And about the "as well as being a very experienced Wikipedian" I can only say that it is inacceptable to demand anyone from having as much edits as Doc James for his arguments to be taken seriously. Not everyone has the chance or time to edit wikipedia in their working hours and produce such an insane amount of edits as Doc James does. My first edit in Misplaced Pages was three years before Doc James and I have quite some editing experience in en.wp, de.wp and commons, though I admit I am not superhuman and cannot produce the throughput of Doc James.

Smelling pistakes
In addition to bone-deep burn scars on my left hand I now also have C7 radiculopathy, so my typing is particularly erratic right now. I have a spellcheck plugin but it can't handle larger text blocks. You're welcome to fix spelling errors without pinging me, but please don't change British to American spelling or indeed vice-versa.
JzG is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.

God Jul och Gott Nytt År!

Gråbergs Gråa Sång is wishing you the season's greetings.
Whether you celebrate your hemisphere's solstice or Christmas,
Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah, Lenaia, Festivus,
or the Saturnalia,
this is a special time of year for (almost) everyone.

JzG! Are you still out there?

Hi JzG! I was going through some old ArbCom cases and ran into one where you had added some statements. I realized that I haven't spoken to you in quite some time, and I see that you haven't made any edits since May... That sucks! I don't want to see someone like you go! If anything, I hope that you're doing well and that you're happy and that you'll someday return here. I just wanted to leave you a message and let you know that I was thinking about you... Keep in touch. :-) ~Oshwah~ 23:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

I hope it goes without saying, despite the fact that I'm saying it, that many of us feel the same way. Happy new year Girth Summit (blether) 23:13, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
We didn't cross paths very often lately, JzG, but we could really use you back. If you get the urge to return, please say "Yes!" Liz 01:14, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
October JzG sighting at WP:RSN. Does my heart good. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:57, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Lovely to hear from you! I have spent the past two-and-a-bit years working at incredibly high stress for a hospital. In that time I have retired around 80% of their legacy application and server estate, instituted architectural guidelines and piloted the process for demand review, reduced the measured risk burden by around 80%, instituted objective risk monitoring using Tenable, and I've just proposed (and had accepted) a plan to remediate or mitigate most of the rest. I have, in short, been busy in that there real life of which you read, and that really wasn't going to fit in with having to be nice to people who sincerely believe that Ashlii Babbit was the real victim of the "legitimate political discourse" on Jan 6 2020.
I have a week's leave. I have 28 days to take before year end, having managed I think three days off this year so far (including weekends). And because I have an offshore team and an onshore customer, my working day can be 8am to 3am.
I thought I'd drop in :-) Guy (help! - typo?) 18:44, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Yikes, sounds like, umm..., a lot of responsibility. There will be plenty for you to do here when you are free! Johnuniq (talk) 22:50, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Glad you dropped by! Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:19, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Glad to hear you're OK - and busy, by the sounds of things! Hope you enjoy your break. Girth Summit (blether) 11:17, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
If Guy doesn't look at Talk:Alexander technique real soon now, where Eddy is being accused of plagiarism, I may be forced to contact him on bookfarce. That would mean giving Guy my real name. He always forgets me. - Roxy the dog 16:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
I try never to remember people's RW names unless they are "out" on Misplaced Pages. Even when they out themselves, this has led to huge problems, e.g. with a user whose identity was revealed by accident off-wiki, showing him to be the source of fact-washing his own side in Misplaced Pages disputes via a journalist. That ended badly for everyone. Guy (help! - typo?) 16:16, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Very happy see the little JzG! bishzilla ROARR!! pocket 19:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC).
Hah! Good to see you're still around!  RasputinAXP  20:48, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
This is a few months late, but welcome back! Wishing you well. starship.paint (exalt) 09:40, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
Welcome indeed! Just came across your signature here. It's always great to run in to another 'old-timer'. Hope you're well, Arbitrarily0  11:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
