No clue what youre talking about. There is a panel of scientists involved in bosnian pyramids. Clearly, you are focussing on the discoverer in a prejudiced fashion and ignoring all the other contributors to the discovery's proving. Wouldnt you say?

== Wikimania ==
did you read LaViolettes page?


Hello again. You are no longer active now, which is a shame, and it's sad to see another old sparring partner {{noping|ScottyWong}} retiring too. But I was pondering whether to attend the ] and, as you're based in a nearby country, wondered whether you are likely to attend. As we both attended the HK Wikimania together, it would be nice to know whether there will be any familiar faces there.
Moreover based on the predictions of this theory, he developed an alternative cosmology that effectively replaces the big bang theory. In fact, in 1986, he was the first to cast doubt on the big bang theory by showing that it makes a far poorer fit to existing astronomical data when compared to this new non-expanding universe cosmology.


If not, I may content myself with virtual attendance as it is otherwise not a good time to travel from the UK. So I'll look out for you in that astral form too.
The subquantum kinetics cosmology also led him to make successful predictions about galaxy evolution that were later verified with the Hubble Space Telescope.


]🐉(]) 13:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Dr. LaViolette is credited with the discovery of the planetary-stellar mass-luminosity relation which demonstrates that the Sun, planets, stars, and supernova explosions are powered by spontaneous energy creation through photon blueshifting. With this relation, he successfully predicted the mass-luminosity ratio of the first brown dwarf to be discovered.More recently, his maser signal blueshifting prediction has found confirmation following publication of the discovery of a blueshift in the Pioneer 10 spacecraft tracking data.


== A barnstar for you! ==
Dr. LaViolette is the first to predict that high intensity volleys of cosmic ray particles travel directly to our planet from distant sources in our Galaxy, a phenomenon now confirmed by scientific data. He is also the first to discover high concentrations of cosmic dust in Ice Age polar ice, indicating the occurrence of a global cosmic catastrophe in ancient times.Based on this work, he made predictions about the entry of interstellar dust into the solar system ten years before its confirmation in 1993 by data from the Ulysses spacecraft and by radar observations from New Zealand.


{| style="background-color: #fdffe7; border: 1px solid #fceb92;"
He also originated the glacier wave flood theory that not only provides a reasonable scientific explanation for widespread continental floods, but also presents a credible explanation for the sudden freezing of the arctic mammoths and demise of the Pleistocene mammals. Also he developed a novel theory that links geomagnetic flips to the past occurrence of immense solar flare storm outbursts.

Kudpung... presidential letter - didnt realize theyre clickable, it was Reagan -- still a president, and this man invented several quantum and astronomy sciences. This is the letters of support link - you might read it. Your system is geared to reject the very people who create wiki, and something appears awry in that methodology. How exactly can WIKI work out, when you reject volunteers editing wrong info pages? (2006 is last links for the "claimed" now proven pyramids; 2016 is a whole decade of discoveries youre refusing, and I heard of this from Semir's site, but now I know it to be not an accident. Sorry, but I dont see any rectification and the slurs on Dr. La Violette will make interesting video fodder for the way WIKI operates.
It is okay for me to document this treatment, and is that alright, or will it be construed as something personal? (all the comments so far avoid fixing the problem and by golly, theyre insulting.)

Actually kudpung, Im beginning to see that the many times Ive accepted a WIKI search result questing info, may have been a severe error -- if you seriously intend to keep the bosnian pyramids back in the stone age with spurious links and a very questionable narrative...what of the other pages? This is concerning but, also enlightening at the same time, and I think its best for WIKI to remain as it is, uninformed, touting pure nonsense about some very real and important pyramids, and to cease trying to change what apparently is a very much closed mentality to being current and with the times. :)

== Warning and complaint over disrespectful user ==

Kudpung,

In a shocking and unbelievable move, you have given my IP a warning for "blatantly harassing" another user. Funny thing is, I was respectfully calling out ] for blatantly harassing me and another Wikipedian. He called me an "east coast elistic prick", and said he didn't give a "flying fuck" about the town of another editor, and he gets off scot-free while you have occupied yourself with issuing my IP a warning for "blatant harassment". I challenge you to materialize once instance of "harassment" on my part - you will find only my responses to being harassed by an internet troll. Please tell me Kudpung - are you disgraced by your punitive act against a victim of an ad-hominem verbal attack, while unthinkably ignoring the guilty perpetrator of harassment? If you do not extend this same warning to him, you will have confirmed your utterly inconsistent, unjust, and disparate treatment of Wiki users based on contribution history. Kudpung - can you find one instance of use of profanity by my IP in my respectful and humane discourse? Yet I get warned, after being called an "elitist prick" whose town the troll in question " give a flying fuck"? Your behavior has shocked me into understanding the true degree of hegemonic arrogance which apparently pervades Misplaced Pages's administrators.

Kudpung - I eagerly await to hear your justification for vilifying a victim of profane verbal attacks launched by an established editor, nepotistically ignoring a flagrant and obvious verbal abuser, and attacking a newcomer to Misplaced Pages who is now certain never to contribute. ] (]) 13:39, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

:This is ridiculous. I have replied on your talk page with a final warning.] (]) 14:22, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Kudpung - I did see the thoughtless invective you launched against me on my page, and I left you with a request to explain your perplexing behaviour: falsely accusing an innocent recipient of having given "abusive diatribes" when in fact all of my language has been respectful and I have been called an "elitist prick" by your troll editor-friend "John from Idegon". I eagerly await to hear your justification for such insanity - attacking the passive and innocent victim of such profane verbal attacks, of which your warning shockingly suggests I am a perpetrator rather than a victim. In doing so I hope you will start to use factual quotes as I have, instead of continued false accusations to appease your friend, flying in the face of all reason and civility. Thanks. ] (]) 02:32, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

== Good faith is assumed only until its absence is proven ==

Hey thanks for the Twinkle, it was really thoughtful, appropriate and useful! I read it extremely carefully, including the links therein. I'm really ever so sorry if I broke the !rules (how exactly?), but you know what, when someone keeps disparaging you by without providing one single diff as supporting shred of evidence, despite your insistent requests, well maybe at that point you would lose your good faith too towards that editor. Wouldn't you? All the best. ] (]) 21:54, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

:That "nice catch" comment on Future Perfect at Sunset's talkpage is harmless, I suppose, as it doesn't actually allege anything but the above advice is sage - asserting falsities without providing one single diff as supporting shred of evidence does have the effect that maybe at that point you would lose your good faith towards that editor. ] (]) 16:21, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

== Canvassing ==

Hi, I can see you raised the issue of ] ] with Cunard but this appears to be continuing. Firstly, ] rightly declined to comment from after intervening. Secondly, I am sure this was done good faith by SwisterTwister and but as the AfDs have been listed on the relevant projects I am of the opinion that it should be left for editors to find out about the AfD themselves without any notification. ] (]) 19:05, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
::Considering that the people whom {{U|SwisterTwister}} notifies often or even usually take opposite views from each other, I think it's done fairly. ''']''' (]) 19:24, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
{{ec}}:It looks as if I as wrong to have raised it. According to {{U|DGG}} it appears to be a legitimate form of notification and DGG has far more experience in such matters than I. It depends who is pinged. Canvassing to support an opinion is not allowed, but getting more expert eyes on a situation from established editors to ensure that policy is upheld and that an AfD is closed accordingly makes sense to me. --] (]) 19:33, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
::This came up a few days ago on ANI, I believe. I also think that SisterTwister is notifying fairly--I think they typically look through the list of contributors to AfDs and article histories, and in this case just called in the cavalry, meaning those with particular experience in a particular area. Remember, Kudpung, when we were young and we had to do AfD all by ourselves, including the notifications? The conscientious editor would typically drop three or more notification templates to different editors. Also, I'm sorry you didn't get in, old friend. ] (]) 05:25, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
:::Don't worry about me not getting in, {{U|Drmies}}, the main thing is ''you'' did. I'll work a bit harder in the slums instead to give you a break for what's coming to you at Arbcom. Look after {{U|DGG}} there for me too, he's a very special friend and like you he's not afraid to tell me if I'm climbing up the wrong drainpipe. ] (]) 06:21, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

== MurderByDeadcopy ==

MurderByDeadcopy kind of reminds me of User:750editsstrong and other accounts used by that person. That users posted ] at five or six pages, eventually getting blocked for disruptive editing under suspicion of being a banned editor. 750edits had an obsession with ] and murder's post at ], a one-time editor (and now I wonder if a sockpuppet) complaining about mistreatment from established editors, is real suspicious. If you look at murder's talk page, their barnstar is from a 10-edits account that also seems focused on inclusionism, suggesting that there are more accounts like this out there. What do you think? ] (]) 13:02, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
:Yes, there is a similarity with and it's almost certain they are still editing, but we get a lot of this kind of thing. Every complaint about {{U|MurderByDeadcopy}}'s editing is perfectly justified. I'm sure you've seen plenty of newbies who just don't get it right, don't listen to advice, and then wonder why they get yelled at. As a teacher I've seen it a million times in school of course. As a Misplaced Pages editor I've made 76,000 edits and never gotten a singe complaint about my editing so if I can do it, theoretically, so can everyone else. I get complaints about my snark of course, but that's because I answer bullshit with with a bullwhip. Yes, I had already noticed there was something not quite koscher going on, but nothing egregious enough to justify a CU. So do keep an eye on them but let's not get paranoid just yet - I've got a lot of work waiting for me in the slums now that {{U|Drmies}} has left us to take up his crown and gown in the Ministry of Justice ;) ] (]) 14:46, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
::That Adam article looks familiar, but I can't find myself in the history, and I didn't delete it or block that editor. I wonder if I saw a post on ANI or something like that. Is there an SPI? Someone should run CU. Those screeds are tiresome, tiresome. ] (]) 15:46, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

== St. Joseph's College (Hong Kong) ==

The Notable alumni section is a massive train wreck. Many many entries without either a WP article or any references to backup notability. I'm running names in this section through WP to see if them have an article but so far zilch and therefore I did this edit. Notable alumni sections are like notable people sections in articles about places, the entry must either have a article or a reference from a reliable source. I am probably going to be deleting most names in this section. Just letting you know.], is the complaint department really on ] 00:37, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

== Add Block Template ==

As a non-administrator I am pretty sure that I am not allowed to add the template. Anyways, you blocked ] and didn't go a <nowiki>{{block}}</nowiki> template. Is it not there on purpose or am I missing something? ] (]) 13:12, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

== Deleted edits? ==

Hello Kudpung! Is there any rule against an editor requesting to view their own deleted edits from ] from an Admin? There doesn't seem to be, based on what I'm seeing at ]. I figured I'd ask you, based on your previous participation at ]. I'd like to try and recreate my CSD log, but Hammersoft at ] brings up a good point that it'll be impossible for me to do that unless I can review my deleted edits... Anyway, thanks in advance. --] <small>(] • ])</small> 19:01, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

== Inappropriate Comment on User:WWGB page ==

Evidently you were not aware of the previous report against WWGB for edit warring over the actual 1RR warning template on the same article. or you would never have said WWGB was not aware of the 1RR. Now that you are aware, please use your mop to execute the block. Thanks. ] (]) 19:13, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

:Use of the mop is an admin's discretion. There is no rule on Misplaced Pages that an admin ''must'' block anyone. I will not be blocking in this instance. IF you want to throw you weight around, run for RfA.--] (]) 21:08, 13 December 2015 (UTC).

I miss your friendship and camaraderie already

You've done so much to improve the user experience on Misplaced Pages due to your active effort. You've always been better at Misplaced Pages than me. This space won't work as well without you, but for each of us there comes a moment. I'll live in hope that you grow uncomfortable without us. Until then, know you've earned my friendship and respect. I'm so proud to call you my wikifriend, a rank you joined when you opposed my first RfA twelve years ago. You were right then, and I have every reason to suspect you're right these days.

Wikimania

Hello again. You are no longer active now, which is a shame, and it's sad to see another old sparring partner ScottyWong retiring too. But I was pondering whether to attend the Wikimania in Singapore and, as you're based in a nearby country, wondered whether you are likely to attend. As we both attended the HK Wikimania together, it would be nice to know whether there will be any familiar faces there.

If not, I may content myself with virtual attendance as it is otherwise not a good time to travel from the UK. So I'll look out for you in that astral form too.

You've been absent for a while…

Do you remember me Kudpung? I was the tenth signature here and I believe you sent a message on my talk page back when I was just a stupid newbie getting into trouble. A lot's changed since then but we remember you still. Hope life is going good for you outside of WP. Fathoms Below (talk) 20:30, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Fathoms Below. I do remember because I had already significantly reduced my activity. It was about a closure or something. I hope I was giving you good advice though I don't remember what it was about. I see you are an admin now, congratulations. Keep up the good work! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:51, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
Heh, my RfA was a mess of my own making. Hopefully it'll be the only major train wreck of 2024. Not sure about how much you've looked at but we've had a handful of other good things happen. Hey man im Josh, Novem Linguae, and Clovermoss have also been promoted in the meantime. May I say congratulations to them on your behalf? Or you can talk with them yourself of course. If this is too much chit chat I'll leave you to your guide. Fathoms Below (talk) 21:25, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
