[edit] IP edit to Talk:Centrifugal force

Please look at this diff. 222.126.43.98 (talk · contribs) edited David Tombe's comment in order to expand it. A reasonable assumption is that it was David Tombe (talk · contribs) himself, because he got logged out accidentally. Now look at Special:Contributions/222.126.43.98. This IP address was also involved in a long "Tombean style" debate in Talk:Lorentz_force. After a while, apparently this IP got an account to continue the debate as George Smyth XI (talk · contribs). Now compare George Smyth's user page with David Tombe's user page. They look very similar. They have the same debating style, and conveniently enough George specializes in Electromagnetism while David specializes in centrifugal force. But of course we know that David is interested in both topics, as we can see from his publications in http://www.wbabin.net . I think this may be against the spirit of WP:SOCK#SCRUTINY. What do you think? --Itub (talk) 17:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Itub. Your line of evidence is rather compelling. David Tombe was asked about this on April 30, and although he did not respond, there have been no edits as George Smyth since then. I agree that edits by the other account, by that IP range, and any others with Mr. Tombe's style deserve careful scrutiny. -- SCZenz (talk) 11:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WW2 Casualties

The posting on the Holocaust is not redundant! The entry points out the percentage of Jews killed. Please do not remove this important point again. Thanks--Woogie10w (talk) 22:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The Holocaust figures in the table are backed up with a reliable source that is easily verified. Teachers will ask students "where do you get those numbers"? From some unsourced post on Wikipedia? No, Martin Gilbert is the source, I went to the library to verify the Wikipedia data. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable--Woogie10w (talk) 23:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
