[edit] Helpme

I am trying to set a value for one person but different name E.R.G. Eckert and Ernst R. G. Eckert which are the same person. But I get different pages.

any idea?

I think you want to redirect (see Wikipedia:Redirect) E.R.G. Eckert to Ernst R. G. Eckert. Just edit E.R.G. Eckert and place #REDIRECT [[Ernst R. G. Eckert]] on the page and save. Use {{helpme}} again if you get stuck.--Commander Keane 15:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you this was the answer. potto 15:38, 9 June 2006 (UTC)genick

[edit] Shock wave reversion

Hi Genick, I've reverted your major changes to Shock wave. I've left a short explanation of why on the talk page. I would hope that we can work together to fix the many problems with this page. I think that a complete restart is probably not the answer here though. Feel free to leave me a message here or on my talk page. AKAF 12:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi do you want to discuss this over the email. my email is barmeir at gmail.com or you should give me you email address.

Can't do.AKAF 14:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi again,

I see that you cannot leave me email or identify yourself. Fine! I assume that you want to keep the mistakes in the shock wave article. Could you please explain why you insisting on keep the mistakes there. If you have a logical explain (don't have to be scientific just what are you secret motivations).

I can to do one of the two things

1. let you keep it, insert some paragraph about the history and
2. put somewhere big statement that

it is not make any sense scientifically, or

1. let the editors check which material make sense (you will have
2. to show some credential

in that case).

I am not hiding like you. you know who am I.

Genick

Now I realize you're new to the wikipedia, and there's a long standing policy about not biting the newbies, so I'm going to follow that advice and simply ask you to read this page: assume good faith.

Casting aspersions about other editors is generally considered insulting by even the most thick-skinned of editors, and I was more than a little upset to see your post on Deglr6328's talk page where you accused him of being a vandal. I only grew more concerned when I examined the article in question, shock wave, and found that Deglr6328 has never even edited any of your changes. The only edits he has made recently were to the talk page, which he clearly labeled as a technical mistake and quickly fixed. The page in question was already in its original form before you posed on his talk page.

As someone that has worked extensively with Deglr6328 I can state with no hesitation that his edits have been extremely constructive, and the wiki is a better place for them. Your "vandalism" claims are baseless. I think you owe him an apology.

And if you'd still feel the need to call in an admin for assistance, I'm right here, just click on my name to the right: Maury 19:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An Automated Message from HagermanBot

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 19:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

thanks, --potto 20:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC) genick

[edit] Nick Baker (chef) mediation

Hi,

Thank you for taking up this case. I hope it is OK to respond on your talk page. Unfortunately, the other party, Sparkzilla, has not expressed a willingness to mediate, so I'm not sure whether we can continue without his co-operation, unless it goes to a RfA. David Lyons 00:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

potto/genick is not a member of the Wikipedia:Mediation_Committee, and cannot assign himself to a mediation attempt. You should consider the request unfilled and continue with the RfA process. Maury 13:28, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re shock wave article

Hello, Genick. I was about to put a message on AKAF's talk page about the shock wave article when I saw your message there, so I decided to write here too. You said:

I assume that you want to keep the mistakes in the shock wave article.

I would like to urge you to follow the Wikipedia policy Assume good faith. Wikipedian editors are not supposed to assume that other editors want to keep mistakes in the articles. We're supposed to try to get along harmoniously. --Coppertwig 17:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

You also said:

I am not hiding like you.

This is saying something about another editor (AKAF). You're supposed to talk about the article, not say things about other editors. Wikipeida policy says "Comments should not be personalized and should be directed at content and actions rather than people." Many people would feel offended if someone says they are "hiding". Many users on Wikipedia are pseudonymous. It is commonly accepted here and there is no need to talk about the pseudonymous status of editors one is involved in a dispute with. --Coppertwig 17:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Genick, as Coppertwig reminded me, I have been less than polite in some of my dealings with you and I'd like to apologise for offending you. I'll try better in the future. What matters, after all is the articles. AKAF 09:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations to both AKAF and Genick for successfully shifting to a cooperative discussion focusing on article content. That is not easy to do when emotions have been involved. --Coppertwig 18:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
