== Thank you! ==

Thank you SO MUCH for not removing [[Scarlett Johansson]] from [[:Category:Fraternal twin actresses]] as well as [[One Direction]]'s [[:Category:Family musical groups]] [[reputation]]! But I want [[twin paradox]] and/or [[twin]] for them so badly! --[[Special:Contributions/2606:A000:4AC8:1100:A8B5:ABD9:14B3:E573|2606:A000:4AC8:1100:A8B5:ABD9:14B3:E573]] ([[User talk:2606:A000:4AC8:1100:A8B5:ABD9:14B3:E573|talk]]) 18:42, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

== Electron as a 3D Electromagnetic standing wave edits removed ==

Why did you remove my edit on the Electron Wiki talk page?

My edit was hardly 'inappropriate discussion' as you described it - it accurately describes all the properties of an Electron from both a Classical and Quantum Mechanical perspective. You seem to be against the better understanding and advancement of Physics. It was not even an edit of the actual Electron Wiki page - it was on the Talk page for crying out loud!

[[User:Declan Traill|Declan Traill]] ([[User talk:Declan Traill|talk]]) 22:53, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

:{{rto|Declan Traill}} indeed, your edit ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Electron&diff=prev&oldid=805077760]) described the properties of an electron. Alas, as was explained before to you on your user talk page, article talk pages are for discussions about ''improving the article'', not for discussions ''about the subject''. On top of the talk page [[Talk:Electron]] it says:
<center><div style="border: 1px solid #c0c090; border-spacing:3px; background-color: #F8EABA; margin-bottom: 0px; width: 70%; text-align: center;">'''This is the [[WP:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] for discussing improvements to the [[Electron]] article.'''<br>'''This is [[WP:NOTFORUM|not a forum]] for general discussion of the article's subject.'''</div></center>
:That is why I removed your edit. See [[wp:talk page guidelines]]. - [[User:DVdm|DVdm]] ([[User talk:DVdm#top|talk]]) 10:48, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

::Surely this would be an improvement to the article! It is not a general discussion about the topic, but a fundamental piece of information about the Electron!

::: <small>Please indent all talk page messages as outlined in [[wp:THREAD]] and [[wp:INDENT]] — See [[Help:Using talk pages]]. Thanks.</small>
::: {{rto|Declan Traill}} The article talk is for proposing to add something to the article. You did not do that with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Electron&diff=prev&oldid=805077760 this message]. But more importantly, the source that you gave  ([http://vixra.org/pdf/1507.0054v2.pdf]) is your own original research, and we don't take that on Wikipedia—see [[wp:NOR]]. So proposing on the talk page to add something to the article, based on ''that'' source, will be a waste of your time. - [[User:DVdm|DVdm]] ([[User talk:DVdm#top|talk]]) 10:33, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
::::The NOR clause applies to the main Wiki page, not the Talk page (it says on on the NOR info page). It is a shame that it cannot be added to the main page, but it should at least make an appearance on the Talk page, even if it cannot be added to the main page.

::::: Yes, NOR clause applies to article space, but the article talk space is for discussions about improving the article, which you did not do in your message. If you push your private work to appear on the talk page, you are effectively abusing the talk page. Please have (another) carefull look at the [[wp:Talk page guidelines]].

== Square Root ==

Hi there.

With regards to your revert of the edit I made on the [[square root]] page, no property in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root#Properties_and_uses Properties and uses] section is currently backed by sources. In my experience, it is common practice on math pages to present such results without citation as they are considered standard, but I could be wrong I guess.

But now wouldn't you agree that deleting the edit I made would then warrant deleting the entire section as it stands? [[Special:Contributions/91.230.41.206|91.230.41.206]] ([[User talk:91.230.41.206|talk]]) 11:44, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

:<small>Please put new talk page messages at the bottom of talk pages — See [[Help:Using talk pages]]. Thanks.</small>
:No, it doesn't {{smiley}}. The content that was already there may or may not be backed by non-inline sources at the bottom of the article, but that content is de-facto accepted by all the past editors. This is new unsourced content, and all challenged content must be backed by reliable sources. It is the responsability of the person who adds the content to provide the sources when challenged—see [[wp:BURDEN]]. Removing other (seemingly) unsourced content would be [[wp:POINT]]y and thus disruptive. If you have honest doubts about other unsourced content, you can tag it and request proper inline sourcing. Hope this helps. Cheers - [[User:DVdm|DVdm]] ([[User talk:DVdm#top|talk]]) 15:40, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

== G-force page ==

Regarding your edit of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force#cite_note-28 , I am not very experienced... I just wanted to update the links with correct ones. 
Why do you think the links are not good ? 
Thanks, 
Gabriel aka. Sokoban.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sokoban|Sokoban]] ([[User talk:Sokoban#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sokoban|contribs]]) 07:25, 2 November 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:{{rto|Sokoban}} The links are not very good because they read like advertisements from manufacturers. They are also [[wp:primary sources]], whereas Wikipedia needs [[wp:secondary sources]]. But I will leave them alone now. Don't be surprised if someone else removes them. If/when that happens, don't revert again, but start a new section on the article talk page—see [[WP:BRD]]. Also, avoid adding these same links to other Wikipedia articles. Cheers. - [[User:DVdm|DVdm]] ([[User talk:DVdm#top|talk]]) 09:54, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Dear DVdm

Could you please elaborate why you deleted my edit for the [[Speed of Light]]?

I have, as you request, put sufficient references to make my text valid.

== One needs a paragraph/section link to the Einstein paper in question, already linked in the article? ==
 
Hunh!? (LOL.)
 
The source was algebra.
 
The content of the deleted edit was an insertion of: multiply both sides of (Einstein's) equation, and a "Looky there!"
 
No new source material was being added?

: All new content, when challenged, must be sourced—see [[wp:verifiability]] and [[wp:BURDEN]]. Besides, even if it was just algebra, it would be a case of [[wp:original research]], which is also not allowed in Wikipedia. - [[User:DVdm|DVdm]] ([[User talk:DVdm#top|talk]]) 21:43, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

you just deleted my edits to the "aoa". i am an astronomer(that is my reference-citation).the edits-additions i made are "common knowledge" to follow astronomers. you must not be an astronomer, however you are lame- that 
i do not need a citation to prove.i also saw that you are a "registered editor", wow you should

==Getting to Philosophy game==
Hi DVdm. Thought you might like to know (if you didn't already) that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fact&diff=811425083&oldid=811079714 this edit], which you reverted is related to the "[[WP:Getting to Philosophy|Getting to Philosophy]] game" mentioned [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics#Getting to Philosophy game|here]]. It turns out that, as described at [[Wikipedia:Getting to Philosophy]], most Wikipedia articles have the property that:
:"clicking on the first link in the main text of a Wikipedia article, and then repeating the process for subsequent articles, will usually lead to the Philosophy article."

where the "first link" is defined to be the first link which is neither in italics nor in parentheses.

However some articles' link paths end in "loops".  Currently, for example, the following loop exists: [[Knowledge]] -> [[Fact]] -> Knowledge. So any article whose link path ever enters such a loop, stays there and so never "gets to philosophy". The edit you reverted was intended to "fix" that loop so that more articles will "get to philosophy". [[User:Paul August|Paul August]] [[User_talk:Paul August|&#9742;]] 19:27, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

:{{rto|Paul August}} Ah, thanks. Now the edit summary makes sense. Yes, I recall a topic about that on the radio some time ago. Good grief {{facepalm|}} - [[User:DVdm|DVdm]] ([[User talk:DVdm#top|talk]]) 20:17, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

:{{rto|Theo Mandela}} ok. Next time, please use an edit summary where you say what you do and why.
