User talk:GBL

• RJFJR tried to welcome me; User:Matt Crypto thanked me for “contributions to crypto articles”
• We discussed weather “[t]he LRW mode of operations was introduced by Liskov, Rivest, and Wagner.” (Disk encryption)
• The CBC/MAC discussion was moved to the talk page of Cryptographic key types

[edit] Regarding your recent edits

You seem to have gone ahead with disk encryption reorganization without consensus, and without even responding to me on the relevant talk page. I would like to believe this was merely a misunderstanding, but I did repeatedly insist that some articles ought to be kept separate to minimize confusion between what I see as fundamentally different concepts/approaches, and you did not appear to disagree. Please enlighten me, are you doing this deliberately? Just note that Wikipedia operates on consensus. -- intgr 16:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

The idea that I was doing disk encryption reorganization without consensus appears completely groundless. I have started it exclusively as a result of our discussion on the talk page. GBL 20:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I was repeatedly and specifically stressing that in my opinion, there would be three articles:

• One discussing what I referred to as "block device encryption"
• Another discussing filesystem-level encryption
• A third article pointing out the similarities and differences.

And I was proposing that the third article would be placed instead of the current "disk encryption" article. I also figured that it would take more than two people to reach a "consensus", or the lack of participants (silent agreement) for a week or so.

Instead, you merged all articles into one, and picked a name that I had not agreed with. -- intgr 20:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll cross post this to the relevant discussion on WikiProject Cryptography; don't respond here. -- intgr 21:08, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
