Please review the rewrite I did on [[Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda]] and help moderate the controversy. As you know, this is a controversial article that has been the subject of many edit wars. Recently translated [[Operation Iraqi Freedom documents]] have made the non-official view that Saddam and Osama did have a cooperative relationship much more persuasive. In fact, former Democrat Senator and 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey now believes they did cooperate, showing this is a tenable position. The older version of the article is clearly not NPOV as it treated the non-official version as if its adherents were members of the flat earth society. I believe the rewrite is much more readable now and the narrative is more connected. I'm certain it has it faults but it seems to be a better foundation to work from than the older version. Please take a look and make any comments you like on the Talk page. Thanks! [[User:RonCram|RonCram]] 05:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

==Message from Bernard Haisch==

I sent the following to Wikipedia "management" and don't know whether this will result in any assistance.

The Wikipedia article on "Stochastic Electrodynamics" has been converted
by a Chris Hillman into primarily an attack on myself and my colleague
Prof. Alfonso Rueda. The field of Stochastic Electrodynamcis itself,
which has had 40 years of development by numerous physicists, is hardly
discusssed at all. The current version is littered with factual errors,
misattributions and NPOV violations.

We need to involve a knowledgeable neutral editor, and it would be best
to remove the article until this can be done.

Since you, ObsidianOrder, have made numerous excellent comments and arguments on the SED Talk, I would just like to urge you to translate some of these into edits of the SED page. It looks to me like Christine Hillman has been getting a free ride in spite of numerous problems with what she has written. I am tryiing to avoid stepping in directly myself in deference to WP policy.[[User:Haisch|Haisch]] 22:59, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Vfd

Not sure what you'll vote on this, but if you're interested, bark at this one: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/WikiProject Wikipedians for Decency--MONGO 10:39, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

Just want to make a point about your vote (and don't want to clutter the already over-cluttered voting page). I don't think most of us voting to delete this project have any interest in "censoring" these people. They are free to say whatever they like on their user pages. However, creating a WikiProject aimed at imposing a point of view about the nature of morality or decency is against site policy. A VFD would be raised for any WikiProject of the sort, regardless of their moral standpoint (e.g. they might want to remove all obscene photos of women, defined as those that show women without traditional head-scarves).
The project specifically states that this is their aim, and that any other concerns (e.g. legal implications in Florida) are secondary. No, this is not censorship, this is enforcement of Wikipedia rules and guidelines. If censorship is your concern, you should probably vote userify. Thanks for contributing, and good editing to you! -Harmil 13:31, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

BYT put my article on this informative book up for VfD,I'd be honored if you'd take a look at the article and its VfD. Thanks. User:Klonimus/AINB Klonimus 07:43, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute advice needed

I have had an entry on Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda regarding Able Danger deleted several times by people claiming it is not relevant to the article. This is hogwash, of course. I have expanded the entry over time to make it more clear and show the relevance to the article. Still it is deleted. Now they are saying I should not violate the 3RR. I even got a message from an administrator about it on my User:Talk page. I responded to the administrator and am waiting to hear back. In the meantime, I thought you might take a look at the entry and the Talk page that discusses Able Danger (in more than one place). I would appreciate hearing your point of view.RonCram 01:27, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bioelectromagnetics

Hi, I saw some of the work you've been doing at some of the bioelectromagnetism and EMF hazard pages, and was wondering if you could take a look at bioelectromagnetics and possibly help me turn it into a real article? You seem to have some wikipedia experience as well as a grasp of some of the non-thermal interaction issues. Thanks in advance, Potatophysics 11:05, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for creating that awesome bibliography! I've been intending to do some research on SED for sometime; you've made it all the more easier. --Intangir 04:39, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

3rr on CF

You've broken the 3RR on cold fusion. Please revert yourself quickly or get reported. William M. Connolley 16:07, 5 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Ok, done. I think you're way out of line removing the disputed tag, though. Can we at least discuss this? ObsidianOrder 16:13, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

cold fusion

The cold fusion debate has gotten beyond my expertise, so I really can't contribute to it - but I will say that getting Edmund Storms, who has long been a very public advocate of cold-fusion claims, seems a poor way to go about it, any more than getting Bob Park to write it would be! - DavidWBrooks 21:43, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I think it would be an excellent idea to get Bob Park to contribute to the cold fusion article. I would be thrilled to see that. --JedRothwell 20:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which CF article is the manuscript?

You have two versions of your proposed article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion/tmp

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ObsidianOrder/Cold_fusion

Which is current? Despite my avowed intention not to contribute to this process, I have noticed some minor errors and I feel compelled to fix them.

Islamofascism redirect again

Hey... I don’t know if you have any interest in this subject anymore, but there is yet another attempt to bury the Islamofascism page elsewhere. If you’re interested, the debate is here: [[1]] IronDuke 19:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(I answered your question on this page.) EdGl 03:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Islamism page

O.O., this anonymous user is engaging in taqiyya. There is no reason to apologize for misconstruing him. His hardly-hidden agenda is that Islam mandates Islamism, and that others are being intolerant of Muslims if they reject the imposition of Sharia. Please ignore his threats, as you've done nothing wrong.Timothy Usher 09:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Scheuer page

Please take a look at recent edits on the Michael Scheuer page. There are some interesting quotes there that certain editors do not want readers to know about. RonCram 13:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

theoretical explanations for low energy nuclear reactions

OO, you probably are much more qualified than me to fill the theory section of that article. Would you be kind enough to take a chance ? Pcarbonn 10:57, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is an Rfc on Csloat. Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Commodore Sloat. Torturous Devastating Cudgel 21:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please review the rewrite I did on Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda and help moderate the controversy. As you know, this is a controversial article that has been the subject of many edit wars.
