[edit] Wikinquisition and the minions

Ryan Delaney delivered a wikinquisition notice to me ... the Wikinquisition imposed the following penalties [1] for one year I was limited to one revert per article per week, excepting obvious vandalism (it has been over a year and this no longer applies), [2] I was placed on Wikipedia:Probation for one year (which expired a month ago, as I write this), and [3] three administrators, for good cause, may extend a ban or probation in one year increments (irrelevant, because I was never banned and the probation expired ... I didn't even really mess with much of Wikipedia because of the effort to suppress ideas and facts).

This is very odd ...

I stopped editing wikipedia articles for the most part ... but I never left my account behind. WTF?!?! I stopped editiing after realzing this was done to suppress my inclusion of facts.

This is a gem Blocked for breaching arbcom ruling by Stifle on 18 May 2006 at 19:17,(UTC). What the F*CK?!?! I wasn't even around and I got Blocked?!?! Wikipedia went to sh*t and started jumping the gun with trigger happy sysops/admins/minions ...

I am back now after February 11, 2007. A wikivaction ... and much needed. This bureaucratic BS is tedious, though. J. D. Redding 18:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop "moves" of Tesla by copy/pasting

If a page move is needed, the page should be moved by actually moving the page to a new title using the MOVE feature of wikipedia. Please do not try and do page moves by copy/pasting content between different pages since this does not preserve the page history. Please see WP:MOVE, and if you feel the page should be moved, list it at WP:RM. Thanks. --Minderbinder 15:21, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

As you continue to repeat this policy violation and have given no explanation, I have to seek admin intervention. --Minderbinder 15:26, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop removing the redirect. J. D. Redding

I'm not moving it, I'm restoring the previous version, which has a long page history going back to 2005. As I said above, if the disambig page needs moving to a different title, it should be done with the page move functionality of wikipedia and not by copy/pasting content between pages. Do you understand that or not? And why do you insist on switching these two pages? I see no discussion of it, and you have given no reason. --Minderbinder 15:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop removing the redirect.

Put the notes in @ talk:Tesla and Talk:Tesla (disambiguation).

And, plese don't lecture me on policy ... I have been editing here long enough to know what the guidelines and policies are. J. D. Redding 15:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC) PS., be safe and be bold!

If you don't stop moving these pages (even doing it properly, rather than cut-and-pasting), without consensus, you'll be blocked for disruption. There will be no more warnings. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 15:38, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

It was a redirect at times and it should be a redirect. I changed this enough today, but your changing it and should be blocked for disruption if you keep changing it. J. D. Redding

Did you read what Mel said above? --Minderbinder 15:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought it was you. Sorry. But that is becuase you place a request for protection. Further comments @ talk:Tesla and Talk:Tesla (disambiguation). J. D. Redding

If interested, simply add your name to the members list on the project page and add the template {{User WPKansas}} to your own user page. Thanks. (Also, I concur with the comments on your user page. Well said!) StudierMalMarburg 16:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe. Seems if the wikinquisition minion has blocked me for a bit. Maybe later. J. D. Redding 18:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unclear block

12:34, 7 April 2007, User:Mel Etitis blocked #456524 (expires 12:34, 8 April 2007, account creation blocked) (Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Reddi". The reason given for Reddi's block is: "persistent mage-move vandalism after warnings; five 24-hour blocks in the past don't seem to have much effect,)

mage-move vandalism? WTF? If redirection and editing is vandalism, people won't be editing ... and ... what the hell is five 24-hour blocks in the past? I been blocked in the past (been months since I been here and even then when I was here and there ... i wasn't blocked in a long time ... well except the one incident when it wasn't me (ala, Stifle on 18 May 2006 at 19:17,(UTC)) ... just some random ip that was assigned to me ... goodness) ... but not in the recent past. jeez ...

This is what makes wikipedia hell ... watch out, you may be next. J. D. Redding 20:39, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

You seem to want to make a meal of this. I blocked in error, and the block lasted from 18:34 to 18:36 — all of two minutes... --Mel Etitis (Talk) 21:14, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I cannot edit right now. I hit edit link (not @ this page but any other page) and send me to the block page. J. D. Redding 21:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Can users now be blocked for not violating rules?!?!?!?! J. D. Redding 22:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I've checked the block log, and you're not blocked... Could you try again? --Mel Etitis (Talk) 23:21, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Finally ... thank you. I do not know why it kept me blocked ... but I was blocked. But seems gone now. Thank you. J. D. Redding 00:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bruce DePalma

Bruce DePalma (born Bruno James DePalma) (October 2, 1935–1997), son of noted orthopaedic surgeon Anthony DePalma and elder brother of film director Brian De Palma, was a well known figure in the Free energy suppression community.

De Palma claimed that his N-machine Homopolar generator, a device based on the Faraday disc, could produce five times the energy required to run it. According to mainstream physics, no such device is physically possible. De Palma studied electrical engineering at Harvard (1958) and taught physics at MIT for 15 years, working under Harold Eugene Edgerton. He was also employed by Edwin H. Land of Polaroid fame.

Bruce De Palma's development of the N-machine concept in 1977, among his other anomalous devices (at least one of which, De Palma claimed, displayed anti-gravity characteristics) and the claims surrounding them, set him on a collision course with his more mainstream peers. His claims of "free energy" were vigorously refuted over the course of twenty years, by conventional scientists and some members of the alternative energy community alike.

His search for financial backing for the construction of a marketable N-machine saw him relocate from Santa Barbara, California to Australia c. 1994, and then New Zealand in 1996. Probably his greatest ally in his conviction that the N-machine could solve the world's energy and environmental crisis was Paramahamsa Tewari, a Project Director with the Indian Nuclear Power Corporation, with whom he corresponded regularly over many years. Tewari's Space Power Generator, claimed to be 200% efficient, is based on the same theoretical foundations as the N-machine.

De Palma's death in New Zealand in October 1997 put an end to his most ambitious free energy project, and occurred only weeks prior to the official testing of a device constructed over the course of 6 months in an Auckland workshop. The test was attended by, among others, the project's financial backer, Bruce Bornholdt, a prominent Wellington barrister, as well as the pioneering developer of the Adams motor, Robert Adams (now deceased), who observed the operation of, and measured electrical output from, the N-machine. This single test failed to demonstrate the over-unity potential of the N-machine - most of the output energy being lost as heat - and the project was immediately dissolved.

[edit] New criticism, comments, and feedback

Now someone else is blocking me? WTF?!?!?! J. D. Redding

You were spamming a single link across several pages. That's why you're blocked.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

This was also not a single link! .. it was from a single site. But appropriate to each article! This needs to be reported to somewhere that can de-admin ppl.

... and the original person I was reversing was removing reference and general information links. This is systematic suppression and POV pushing, not NPOV editing. J. D. Redding 06:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Where can I post this abuse of admin power? ... will do it a.s.a.p. ... J. D. Redding 06:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

No they are information link. I did the Harry Perrigo article, and rexresearch is the main information of him. Geez! This is jsut systematic POV of anything some see as not "mainstream". J. D. Redding 05:44, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Rex Research is for alternative non-mainstream information. See the Harry Perrigo article. Rex reserch is one of the main article sources. Now it is gone!!! this is systematic removal of references.

JD Redding

It is not. Ryulong has a valid block, for now. Any time a single website is added to many articles en masse is suspect and needs to be stopped first, and reviewed second. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 05:49, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I was adding the paranormal links back in. It deals with "free energy"/perpetual motion stuff. Goodness! It's notable and citable. J. D. Redding 05:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

With stuff that may be considered controversial, you should discuss changes on the talk page of the article first. "'free energy'/perpetual motion stuff" is likely to be controversial. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 06:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

The guy that removed the links did not discuss anything WTF!!!!!! J. D. Redding 06:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh yea, please don't remove the unblock tag below too, Jeffrey O. Gustafson ... Thanks. This is BS. J. D. Redding 06:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Note: Please check your block log linked below. If there are no blocks listed, or the latest one has already expired, then you have been autoblocked. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead. We cannot unblock you otherwise.

Rex reserch is one of the main article sources for "paranormal" research, like the Harry Perrigo article. This is not spam!
