From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to J. Marvin Herndon, without either resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Thank you.--CyberGhostface (talk) 01:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stellar ignition article

The article at stellar ignition was largely (if not entirely) constructed to display one particular viewpoint/theory that has yet to reach mainstream acceptance. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. The article's title implies that it should give a comprehensive coverage of the subject and not one theory. Also, your edits on it constitute a clear conflict of interest. Please avoid making substantial changes on subjects where a COI exists, such as articles about yourself, your work/research, your colleagues, etc. Making such edits will generally slip you away from neutral point of view. I may try to incorporate some of the information onto the current star formation article. Thanks. Cquan ^{(after the beep...)} 15:56, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dynamo theory

Please read WP:COI as you appear to be adding and promoting your own ideas/research on dynamo theory and other articles. Wikipedia is not the place to promote our own work. Vsmith (talk) 01:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Use talk pages for talk

Please don't put conversation on peoples user pages. Thats what talk pages are for. I've removed it William M. Connolley (talk) 20:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dynamo theory II

a) I've reverted your edits, because you described your own theory in that article. This is not allowed. b) You included your own works as primary sources. However, primary sources allone are not sufficient - is there any secondary source, published in an reputable scientific journal, which refers to your theory? c) For more infos, see: Wikipedia:PSTS#Preference for secondary sources: Articles are preferably based on secondary sources, rather than primary or tertiary ones. d) See also Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable.
PS: Thanks for the infos on Hilgenberg.
PS-2: If you write a comment on a talk page, pleas write it a the end of the page, not at the beginning. --D.H (talk) 08:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

A) You wrote: I published the discovery of the mistake and the concept of georeactor operant fluid for dynamo action in 2007. Removal of my edits for the reasons you stated would be fundamentally wrong as it would now intentionally mislead the wiki-readership.

You see, there is a great problem: The only question I have is stated in Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline: Is there a "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." So we are only talking about your new modification of a well known theory: dynamo theory.

B) As long your modification of dynamo theory is not widely discussed in the scientific community, the article Georeactor is the better place for your thesis. So I created a new section in Georeactor#Dynamo theory and inserted your edits from dynamo theory. I hope that's OK for your now. If I made some errors while copying the text, please correct them. Regards, --D.H (talk) 08:36, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

a) I've inserted a link to Georeactor in your biographic article J. Marvin Herndon.

b) As I said above: It is not the decision of Wikipedia authors to judged whether a theory is true or not. We must rely on reputable secondary sources. So as long your correction of dynamo theory is not widely discussed, mentioning your theory in that article simply violates the Wikipedia policies. However, I've inserted a link to your theory in Dynamo theory#See also.

c) Please see also the discussion in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whole-Earth decompression dynamics. And I've inserted a link to your paper into Expanding Earth theory#External links. --D.H (talk) 11:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

PS: Those were my last edits on topics related to your theories. So if you think they are wrong please delete them - although I think my edits are NPOV. I hope you will find support for your theories in the near future. --D.H (talk) 15:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
