I noticed that the article was tagged for deletion and therefore assumed that removing the tag was inappropriate. But I agree. Your solution is probably better. DVdm (talk) 13:53, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, but in that case you should note that the deletion tag was a prod and anyone is allowed to remove prod tags. LadyofShalott 13:56, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Return of an old friend

If you remember 99.63.26.63 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) (obsessed with adding religious categories to living people articles despite repeated and lengthy blocks), it would seem highly likely they are back as 99.63.24.11 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), so you might want to keep an eye out too. Thanks. 2 lines of K303 13:48, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Definitely the same person. They do seem to move much more careful and slowly this time, but perhaps you could notify one of the blocking admins. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep one open too. DVdm (talk) 18:48, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
I thought about it, as I knew Alison (talk · contribs) would have been happy to block him again. But that might just cause him to get a new IP and make him more difficult to track, whereas with his current slow progres he's easy enough to deal with. If you want to ask someone to block him I've no real objections though. 2 lines of K303 12:25, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Slow but nasty though. See another warning on their talk page for yesterday's edit. DVdm (talk) 13:13, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

you say "did not appear to be constructive" what do you mean exactly ? Pemf1000 (talk) 12:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for reverting the strange chatter put on my talkpage. That sort of weirdness rattles me, and I appreciate your intervention very much. SteveStrummer (talk) 14:33, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

...for reverting the personal attack at my talk-page. I intend no interactions with this user, unless to delete any further rants. By the way, have you noticed the offending user's page claim of "8+" years? Meaning what, I wonder? Haploidavey (talk) 14:40, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I guess (and hope!) it means that they've been a student of such and such since more than 8 years, but one never knows... DVdm (talk) 14:46, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
These shenanigans are continuing at both Talk:Hades and Davey's user page even after the final warning. Assuming you're an admin and can take action we peons cannot. Cynwolfe (talk) 15:23, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, Cyn; but doom has taken the business in hand. See the flickering blades! Haploidavey (talk) 16:03, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Two books on Biological Transmutations removed

Could you please advice what is the problem with those books ? Thank you very much ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.210.223.153 (talk) 16:05, 12 September 2011 (UTC) 89.210.223.153 (talk) 16:19, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

You are right, these could have been OK. The problem was with your last edit, introducing a pointer to a questionable source (see wp:ELNO and wp:RS). Sorry for possibly having flushed the child with the bath water. I have restored the other edits. DVdm (talk) 16:37, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

You might be mistaken

I'm not sure why you warned him: Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:15, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, wrong button. My mistake. Reverted self. DVdm (talk) 12:19, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

You have new message/s Hello. You have a new message at 213.107.74.132's talk page.--213.107.74.132 (talk) 12:22, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

FYI

Hello DVdm. I saw your post at AN and I thought that I would let you know that you might put in a request at Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection especially since more than one IP is being used. It is hard to say whether you will get quicker action at that noticeboard over the AN one. I hope that the situation gets resolved ASAP and thanks for your vigilance in taking care of that article. MarnetteD | Talk 20:03, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Hah while I was making this post Sarek of Vulcan protected the article. Guess that answers the question about response time. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 20:05, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks & cheers. DVdm (talk) 20:09, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Unfortunately, the article is still protected in the wrong version, and no admin is reacting. It seems that we have to wait the whole day, before it get unlocked again... --D.H (talk) 07:53, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Isaac Newton

Well,you have to understand that i dont edit keeping in mind the person i admire but by the facts which atleast i believe are true.Before Newton there was no comprehensive system to connect both mathematics aand philosophy as it was called in his day.He,by his remarkable genius understood the intricate importance that lie between these two branches and developed the first comprehensive system that could be relied upon for further research.The reason he is considered one of the most influential men is that his works not only influenced the scientific community but also the way the general public could think of a problem and he is still the only one considered by both physicists and mathematicians as one of the greatest,if not,the greatest in their respective fields.The sources i have provided are some of the many things that shed some light on his subjects.And the people(like Hart,Hawking,......) may vary,but,the opinion of majority regarding Newton do not.Thank you.Hawker07 (talk) 17:25, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Sure, everything you say could be true, but for Misplaced Pages that is largely irrelevant: see wp:RS, wp:V, wp:OR. You might rather comment on the article talk page Talk:Newton#Original research, where other contributors can comment as well. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 17:32, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

I have not done any edits to Newton,the new edits are not done by me.I hope you'll check it.cheers Hawker07 (talk) 15:11, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, you did make edits: this, this and this. For the last edit I gave you a 3rd level warning on your talk page. Please stop. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 15:17, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

do you think the new edits are from reliable source?? Hawker07 (talk) 15:28, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Your warning about Talk:PIGS (economics)

Hi. I see you're trawling swiftly through pages for vandalism (great), and warned an IP for messing up an edit (inadvertent deletion of comments) a little harshly (not so great). This was just as the IP was coming to the table to discuss sourcing problems after getting rather irate at getting blocked for not discussing matters and edit warring. I'm not sure your warning is helpful in the circumstances.VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 14:23, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I reacted to the 2nd removal of a contributor's talk page message, created with this edit, and removed with this edit, seven minutes after the anon was explicitly warned (by you) "to be careful not to delete other people's comments". So that was twice in a row, and i.m.o., taking into account their history, definitely worth at least a friendly first level warning. But perhaps I was mistaken, in which case I'd like to apologise. DVdm (talk) 14:54, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
I completely see where you're coming from (recently blocked IP, already told not to remove comments). From my point of view, as the comment removed wasn't a significant one, the IP's tone had calmed down a lot, and another editor (me) was actively engaging, I would have stood off. It's a difference in judgement calls. I just wanted to register my concern about the warning (kind of on the IP's behalf) as I think (or sense) the IP might actually make a good contribution but has trust/paranoia issues, as his first few attempts at editing have been batted away. That and just in case you were going a bit too fast. All the best, VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 15:14, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
Ok, point taken. I'll leave this in your hands. Let's hope we don't lose a valuable potential contributor. Cheers and happy editing- DVdm (talk) 15:19, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
Struck above due to this and this. I gave a 3rd level warning for personal attacks. DVdm (talk) 13:56, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
Point taken. <sigh>. I thought I was getting somewhere. Thanks for your understanding in the interim. VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 14:17, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

How do you do?

Thank you for your message!

So, this little work i made could be considered as an "original research". Ok. But this could be considered differently to :) Is it possible to discuss about it?

Yes, I noticed. I can only repeat that I don't think it will find a place on the Misplaced Pages. This really is something to season a personal blog page. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 19:17, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

As an aside, here, how is the content in question "negative", much less "unsourced"? If anything, it is undersourced.KlappCK (talk) 13:41, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Yes, but I replied on talk page. - DVdm (talk) 13:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
