[edit] Article about PESWiki
I gather from what is written on your user page that you are centrally involved in that wiki. Perhaps there could be made an article about it for Wikipedia? __meco 10:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm the owner of that site. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a bit shy about posting at WikiPedia after the cold treatment I got when I first landed here. Meanwhile PESWiki is filling the void I had hoped to fill here. It covers cutting-edge, clean energy technology developments, including those too far outside the box to receive any mention at WikiPedia. Sterlingda 00:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The AfD
I'm writing to you in order to ask that you remove your comments about me (as opposed to the arguments for deletion), as well as the long "PESWiki is better than Wikipedia" rant, from the AfD page. You know, or should know, that such things do not belong in there, and they're certainly not helping your cause. It's not only me who wants the article deleted; several people have agreed with my statements. The main defenders of your article so far are an anonymous user, another one who just called digg "a reliable measure of notability", and a former vandal who believes that Wikipedia is a piece of shit and there's a cabal of admins working to censor it. I didn't mention this in the AfD. See my point? Stop muddling the process, don't repeat yourself, and don't throw around accusations thinking that you'll scare the one who has to close the AfD — you won't. —Pablo D.

- Hi Pablo. Don't put words in my mouth. I did not say "PESWiki is better than Wikipedia". I pointed out that PESWiki excels for some search terms. I didn't say so explicitly, but those search terms are not inconsequential. The point was to document that your assertion that PESWiki is "not notable" is not true. Your arguments for deletion were shown by me to be groundless in each particular. Why don't you acknowledge as much? Likewise, I could show that each of the other arguments are without merit. I honed in on you because you were the one who commenced to AfD, and you had the gall to respond to one of the supporters for non-deletion by asking how I had rebuffed your arguments, so I elaborated, point by point. I wouldn't repeat myself if you would make such ridiculous statements as "Such as?" in response to the user comment "PESWiki Founder makes some very valid points, which don't appear to have been taken into consideration". I stand by my assertion that Wikipedia would be better served without knee-jerk reactionaries such as yourself who make accusations that are groundless. Let me ask you. How much time did you take looking at PESWiki.com before posting the AfD? The answer to that question is found in the history of the page. Twelve minutes max. That is absolutely asinine that you would be able to render any kind good judgment in such a short period of time. Yet you carry yourself in your wording as if you are some big hot shot at Wikipedia. You should lose your privileges at Wikipedia, which is not well-served by the likes of you being free to throw your weight around.
If you want the text of the deleted article for a user subpage while you work to improve it, WP:DRV is probably the right place to ask. I saw your request on 1ne's page, and just figured I'd let you know. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 16:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Skateboard
Hi - I removed your edit about 'magnet trucks' from the skateboard page. If we included every innovation for skateboards the page would be very long indeed. I think the page needs to be simple and should feature the conventional components of a skateboard. As the 'magnet truck' has yet to hit the market, I think we should wait and see how it sells before we add another innovation. Hope you understand Steve-g 11:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Energy portal
Hi! As a contributor to WikiProject Energy development, I thought you might like to be aware of the opportunity to contribute to the new Energy Portal, now that there is one... No need to reply. Gralo 17:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
