| :Looks like you got some good input from Jim E. Black, better than I would've given. About the only think I can think of right now is to try keep discussion on the article talk page relating strictly to the topic itself. There are many problems with the way scientific subects are presented (or misrepresented) here, and several reasons why experts in various fields are chased out by the wikipedia system. Some people are trying to improve the situation, and there are improvements in certain cases, but it is a long road ahead, with many pitfalls. ] (]) 06:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC) | |||

| == Photon time dilation == | |||
| I have submited my submission as discussion, not as article addition. I have seen many opposing submissions in discussions of wikipedia articles. Please, explain to me, what my discussion submission violates. My submission is not my personal ambition, and there is no trace of that. Misplaced Pages shoud not be only collection of some knowledge, but collection of truth. This is highly important. If some information in any wikipedia article is invalid, it should be corrected. If there are serious contradictions in theoretical articles, even they are not solved yet, it should be very important, to mention these contradictions in articles, not only in discussions. If such contradictions exist, discussion of the article is the right place to start the process. I have explained why I have submitted "Photon time dilation" discussion submission, and what was my intension. As I wrote : Physics is the science of reality. So it must be consistent with reality. Inconsistence with reality seriously indicates invalidity of the theory. If there is inconsistence of the theory with reality, there are ''several'' ways to start the improvement of the theory. In any case, the contradictions of the theory must be recognized, formulated, defined, published and finaly solved. Please explain, what in my submission is seriously invalid, that you have censored my submission. Contradiction is logical expression. Contradictions can be complex or simple. Photon time dilation, in context of the physical time dilation, is simple contradiction, that can be formulated using set of simple logical, verbal expressions (is,is,if,than) based on current mainstream theories. What are wikipedia rules for censorship of discussion ? ] (]) 11:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :If you read the ] which I already linked to from your user talk page, you will find the following sentences. | |||

| # '''Do not use the talk page as a forum''' or soapbox for discussing the topic. The talk page is for discussing improving the article. | |||

| ::Thank you for your answer. But your answer did not solve what I wrote : ''Misplaced Pages shoud not be only collection of some knowledge, but collection of truth. This is highly important. If some information in any wikipedia article is invalid, it should be corrected. If there are serious contradictions in theoretical articles, even they are not solved yet, it should be very important, to mention these contradictions in articles, not only in discussions''. If I understand well, if there is invalid information in wiki article, there is only possibility to correct it on scientificaly published sources. If such sources does not exist, the article in wikipedia is treated as valid, wheather it is valid or not, and wheather the contradiction is evident or complex. If it is so, these rules are insufficient to maintain validity of wikipedia content, and '''it would be higly important to change theese rules, or to implement processes, that will enable effective solution of the wikipedia contradictions'''. Such processes should contain cooperation with scientific authorities. Propagation of invalid information can cause serious confusion. Just deletion of contradiction warnings is against the quality and consistency of wikipedia content, and against the propagation of valid information. Contradiction warning is distinctly related to the article validity and therefore concerning article content and editors work. '''Contradiction warning is not forum discussion, but message to the editors'''. As I wrote, majority of contradictions can be expressed using simple logical, verbal expressions, and therefore understood and considered publicly. ''"In classical logic, a ] consists of a logical incompatibility between two or more propositions."'' Solution of contradictions is not only fundamental scientific method, but also fundamental method of understanding reality. Reality is not contradictive. I have noticed other contradictions in elementary physics articles. But I have also noticed some latent interest of some editors in this area. I understand this latent interest as actively expressed. It is not hidden, that fundamental physical theories are incomplete, and that this incompleteness has serious dimension. Misplaced Pages is propagated globally as composite information. Responsibility for related wikipedia content and propagation of related information is therefore on editors. I recomend to consider the photon time dilation contradiction. | |||
| ::Photon time dilation contradiction : If frequency is generic property of the photon, and photon is elementary particle, than from the reference frame of the observer, photon time is according to the theory of relativity absolutely dilated. Therefore photon frequency cannot manifest. If frequency is generic property of the photon, and photon is electromagnetic wave, than observed frequency is Doppler shifted generic frequency. Therefore time of the photon cannot be dilated. Photon cannot be both, the particle and the wave, if theory of relativity is valid. The frequency of the photon is the same, wheater it is observed as the particle or as the wave. ] (]) 20:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
| Some comments: | |||
| * Your so-called logical contradiction is trivially full of errors. I am not interested in discussing or arguing about it, so you're wasting effort posting about it here. Users are given wider latitude in their own userspace than in article and talk space, so this kind of thing could be discussed (within reason) on your talk page or on someone else's talk page, but it can be disruptive to place it on an article talk page. That is why I originally moved your section to your talk page. | |||
| * As I already said, the ] page is probably a good place for getting others' opinions about whether my removal of the section was appropriate. That page looks like a good choice as a starting point for any other questions or concerns you may have. | |||
| * If you have questions or disagreements with policies and guidelines, you can bring them up on the relevant talk pages, such as ], or post to noticeboards like ]. | |||
| * It will help considerably if you read the policies and guidelines carefully before posting to the pages mentioned in the bullet point above. For example, your comments about truth in articles would almost certainly bring a mention of the first paragraph in the ] policy. | |||
| * I strongly suggest you do not continue to re-edit your contributions repeatedly as you have done in your submissions here and elsewhere. Use the 'show preview' button and/or write in a text editor, and click 'save page' only when you think your submission is complete. | |||
| I hope these comments are useful. ] (]) 20:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC) | |||

The CADO Reference Frame for an Accelerating Observer
Hi. I hope this doesn't sound like canvassing but given the strength of your comments at User talk:Michael Fontenot and on the talk page at Talk:Twin paradox I thought you should be made aware of the current AfD debate at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The CADO Reference Frame for an Accelerating Observer, which is basically about the same thing. andy (talk) 00:50, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- I had noticed that deletion discussion even before you posted the above. It looks to be a foregone conclusion that the article will be deleted. With that and the block on the user, this little episode is probably wrapped up. If he chooses to adhere to consensus and be unblocked then so be it. Thanks for being proactive on this issue. There was a very good chance of a messier and longer period of frustration with that user, and you were quite helpful in cutting it short. Tim Shuba (talk) 18:43, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Operator of proper-time-derivative
You removed my additions to some articles about operator of proper-time-derivative. In your opinion there is self-promotion of non-notable material. In this case why you do not remove the new article operator of proper-time-derivative? I can not see your logic.

Fermi-Walker transport
I just noticed you deleted most of this page. Why did you do this? For most readers, orthogonality of four-velocity and four-acceleration probably isn't obvious when reading the article. However, Fermi-Walker transporting a vector not orthogonal to the velocity does not necessarily result in the correct Thomas precession, so this information should definitely be included in the article. I suggest you move the section to the bottom of the article, maybe including orthogonality of spin vectors since this is probably the most interesting case. --130.75.25.83 (talk) 15:14, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

I agreed with the comments on the talk page that they are detrimental to the article. The article is admittedly quite poor. If you can provide properly sourced information about the article subject, please go ahead. I am opposed to wholesale reinsertion of the deleted material.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
