| : Hi, was surprised to find this as I specifically set out to create an original image to illustrate the article. I found that attribution of a modified element in the image had been called into question - although I did attribute the creator in uploading the image (as I would expect if someone had modified elements from my own work). I have contacted the original creator of that element and am waiting for a reply so that we can resolve any issues that might involve licensing. I'm putting the image on hold until I have heard back from them. ] (]) 13:00, 8 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

| ::Hello 'Verbal chat'. I would like to assure you that I am engaged in no such thing as an edit war, and am working to improve an article in its formative stages. I reverted the article to compare recent changes from users who, by a mind less generous than mine, might be seen to be engaging in editorial combat on a new article (coincidentally addressing advances in military technology). Again, please rest secure in the knowledge that I am only working to improve the article. I note that the article is no longer tagged for deletion, and am pleased with this resolution. I hope that new edits by others are made in sincerity and in the true spirit of Wikipedian neutrality, and with intent to improve the article and steer clear of vandalism and attempts to sabotage other genuine efforts. ] (]) 12:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::: It is still tagged for deletion, any removal of the tag is an error. ] <small>]</small> 12:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::::I just revisited the article and see that a user has removed a lot of referenced content. Originally the article had 19 footnotes from 19 sources. Now it has two. The user deleted all of the referenced material and then wrote on the articles for deletion page that he had removed "unreferenced" material. I am not convinced these edits are intended to help or improve the article. I consider this vandalism, and on reading the discussion tabs on your own user page suspect that you have engaged in "editorial wars" before. I have never experienced this on Misplaced Pages before and suspect it is because of the the content. While the article is verifiable and the refernces were all published by reputable sources, it seems that users with less neutrality than myself are unable to accept that Misplaced Pages should be updated with new advances in technology. ] (]) 13:14, 8 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::::: I was recently blocked for edit warring, so I am aware of the issue. The reason I was blocked was because I tried to preserve the unreferenced information in a ] by adding tags and removing some of the controversial edits, whereas per the BLP rules I should have just removed all of it. I learnt my lesson (and there were extenuating factors but I'm not afraid of admitting I made a mistake). This case is different, and I'm not protected by ]. However, you should have a look at ] to see why the edits you describe are not vandalism. Also, you are engaged in synthesis (]) and original research (]). You are not simply reporting what reliable sources state (and many of your sources were not ], such as Slashdot), but are drawing inferences, making conclusions, and writing a thesis with a decided editorial slant (against ]). You are also describing biofeedback toys as "telepathy", which is just odd. The page will likely be deleted, but the stub that is now left is a lot better than the article you introduced. I'm sorry that you obviously spent so much time on something that isn't right for wikipedia. I'd chalk this up to a learning experience, and perhaps you can find a forum, blog, or other wiki (Google knol, perhaps) that would take your essay. ] <small>]</small> 14:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
