You have new messages (last change).

Anon - This is the second go-around with you. I will be blunt about it: For every good thing you do, you do two bad things. Once again, you cannot run roughshod over Wikipedia. This is collegiate endeavor, and has no room for people who want to outright impose their views.

You call for a change to the +--- Lorentz signage. Personally, I approve of that, but the common usage in most textbooks is -+++. If that is changing, then the edit becomes worthwhile, but you need to make the case to the editors in talk:special relativity first.

You want to rearrange the introduction. However, all of the paragraph spacing got lost and therefore the result is unreadable.

You want to note general coordinates using the x# notation instead of the x# notation as is currently the case. From a tensor standpoint, you are correct, but this is bound up in the other issues above. Once again, I advise discussing this in talk:special relativity in order to ease the resistance to the transition.

In short, you need to talk with us. Otherwise your edits will keep being reverted. --EMS | Talk 16:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh - I forgot to mention: The Lorentz Transformation "matrix" is a tensor. (It is correctly transformed by itself. Try it!) --EMS | Talk 22:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please talk to us

Anon - All articles have talk pages associated with them, such as talk:special relativity. That page can also be reached via the "discussion" tab near the top of the window. You can scream at us to let you fix out cr*p all that you like, but unless you engage the existing editors and deal with their concerns, you will get nowhere. Some of what you want to do is good, but much of it is seen as being very counter-productive. Noone is interested in sorting out the good and bad parts of your edits for you, and there is nothing in them that demands inclusion on its own anyway. Therefore your edits are being reverted, and will continue to be reverted until the situation changes.

Whether you like it or not, there is a substantial group of editors that like the current version of the special relativity article a lot more than they like the version with your suggested changes. Unless you reach an agreement with the existing editorial community on that article, your attempts to edit it will go nowhere. --EMS | Talk 18:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
