[edit] On Einstein

Dear TEB, nothing what I said was meant to be personal and I apologise if my statements have been perceived differently. It is however an undeniable fact that you destroyed my contribution which was well-thought-of and to my best judgement amounted to a positive, even though modest, contribution to the biography. --BF 23:45, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Let me guess

An educated guess, you did not bother to read through the entire context of the whole page which are in question by "user:Mil" before applying those rules as they were, right? oh btw, you did bother to read the problem from the start and not just came in the middle of this issue, did you? Tell me something you did not miss then I might just keep the lid on. --Dave1185 (talk) 07:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I would suggest that when you are emotionally upset that you should take time to cool off. That way you won't make a fool of yourself with an irrelevant rant. —teb728 t c 08:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback can only be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 02:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. —teb728 t c 02:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] On sharon johnston

On sharon johnston: A big thank you for your help. I am learning Wiki and many pages are unclear as to what they mean when they say they need something like a citation, reference or cleaning up. Appreciate your knowing what was needing and assisting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ImN2Fun2 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] John C Huang

Hi TEB I have recently become aware of John's original research posting on wikipedia. I have made contact with him in hopes I can get to become a more contributing member of the site. I saw your posting on his site and since it seems you have also talked to him if you had any insights. If you could message me on my talk page with advice I would be most appreciative.

                                                                               Thanks Skeletor 0 (talk) 02:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I’m not sure what aspect of Huang you want me to comment on; so let me answer generally: It seems he has his own take on the Lorentz transformation and the Michelson-Morley experiment. At first he tried posting it in articles. When that was reverted, he tried posting it in article talk pages and at least one user’s user page. When you offered to explain the rules to him, he misunderstood and took that as an offer to discuss his theory on your user talk page.
At that point I left him a message that there is no place for his theory on Wikipedia. As I wrote that, it occurred to me that the presence of his theory on his user page negated what I was saying. So I proposed his user page for deletion. (Ordinarily I would accept almost anything someone puts on their user page.) Although my MfD got no support, Huang posted there agreeing to post his theory only on his user page until he gets it published (presumably coincident with hell freezing over).
I suspect his only interest in Wikipedia is as forum for his theory. I hope I am wrong. I think it is a mistake for you to try to discuss the merits of his theory with him. —teb728 t c 19:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Thankyou.

Hello User:TEB728,


Many thanks for the very good advice [1], I absolutely agree. I have had moments when I was going to dump wiki after being constantly attacked by just 2 editors who obviously have it over me due to experience. I still support the wiki concept, but I have noticed the lack of admin direction. Why should the average user be subjected to a battlefield. I still cannot see how anyone can get anything done when just one aggressive user (ScienceApologist) See [2] with track record just run the page ragged with reverts and mass edits.

However, I agree with your assessment, I have been trying to be wiki, informative and pleasant... but I have had some dummy spits.

Again, many thanks for you warm and caring advice.

My very best regards to you. Vufors (talk) 16:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
