Dear Diegueins,

Are you Professor Diego Saá? Why are you putting links to those arXiv papers on so many articles? Dmharvey 02:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello, No; in fact, I am his son, though. I put links to some papers my father wrote, because they are related to the topic, and I would like to put some attention of the scientific community on my fathers's work. If you read one of the papers, please tell me what you think.

Hi again... a few things:

• It's best to reply to messages only in the place they were first posted, otherwise it can get a bit confusing to follow the conversation.
• It's good to sign your messages with four tildes ~~~~ so people can see who wrote what.
• Regardless of whether you want to draw attention to your father's work, this is not what Wikipedia is for. In particular, we don't generally include links to articles on the arXiv, because they are not peer-reviewed. You should read Wikipedia:Reliable sources to get some idea of what I am talking about. After you've read that, I think you should strongly consider removing all the links you have added. I suspect someone else will do it for you if you don't do it first :-) Dmharvey 03:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

• Firstly, thanks for your suggestions; I am new to Wikipedia, so I do need them.
• Wikipedia may not be for what I intended, but it is for letting users contribute knowledge, and improve that knowledge, and I think that helping to make people take notice of some errors in some accepted theories is to do just that.
• You are wrong claiming that the files in the Cornell University Library (arxiv.org) are not peer reviewed. In fact, some of my father's papers have been rejected by the arxiv peer reviewers probably because of their strong implications... That is the sort of thing that happens most of the times when people develop theories that oppose what is established as a truth. Diegueins 03:51, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Concerning the arXiv, please see my remarks at Talk:Diego Saá. Also, Wikipedia is not for "letting users contribute knowledge, and improve that knowledge"; see Wikipedia:Original research. You might also want to provide some verifiable evidence that the band Verde70 is famous across Ecuador, before someone puts a deletion notice on that one too. (For bands it usually happens really fast.) Dmharvey 12:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
