Hi Robert92107!! You're invited: learn how to edit Wikipedia in under an hour. I hope to see you there! Ocaasi Play The Wikipedia Adventure This message was delivered by HostBot (talk) 17:21, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Robert92107, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Carlsbad desalination plant has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello, I'm RightCowLeftCoast. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Carlsbad desalination plant because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:25, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Robert92107. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:California topographical map of proposed HSR route (2014).jpg — was tagged with {{OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

• If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at that you have done so.

• If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 14:42, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to that article. Please considering following the Manual of Style and use section headings and avoid inline external links. Recent editors have been completely ignoring the standard site-wide formatting, which makes the article look very out of place. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 02:15, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited California High-Speed Rail, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Central Valley. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. We do not cite press releases and promotional fringe websites as reliable sources in regard to claims regarding 'energy sources' unrecognised by science. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:04, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is about time that you started paying attention to the fact that there is some serious work being done on this, and serious money being put behind it. Certainly more data needs to be added, but unless you demand that I put everything out here in completed form, you'll just have to let me build information about this piecemeal.

I further don't think that it is appropriate for you to say that an independent press release that one of the major venture capital firms buying rights to E-cat is something that should be ignored.

It appears to me that you're not neutral on this issue, and need to get a grip on it. Robert92107 (talk) 18:16, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are you trying to right great wrongs? jps (talk) 16:25, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, (1) he did not examine the sources I used, since he was incorrectly characterizing them; (2) the article does not include recent FACTUAL information which has been reported in reliable sources which is significant to the E-cat topic; and (3) I noticed that re the patent granted last week someone inserted something which that was NOT stated in the patent itself for the purpose of coloring the topic. Thus, the article is NOT neutral, and the lack of neutrality is what should be corrected, not to state definitely that LENR works or doesn't. Robert92107 (talk) 18:44, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to discuss article content, please do so on the article talk page - though I suggest you read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and WP:FRINGE first - 'neutrality' does not involve giving equal weight to fringe claims regarding supposed sources of energy unknown to science. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:21, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help this dispute come to a resolution. The discussion is at DRN:Energy Catalyzer. Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! --Guy Macon (talk) 20:39, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please be very careful, if this ends up at ANI you will end up getting banned from cf articles, andy has far too many friends in high places. He baited me into taking him there by using deliberately inflammatory language because he knows everyone over there. You honestly can't win this.  InsertCleverPhraseHere ^{InsertTalkHere}  17:14, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DRN is not WP:ANI. First, we deal with article content, not user behavior. Second, cases are managed by a DRN volunteer mediator (that would be me) rather than the "everyone jumps in" style of ANI. Third, DRN volunteer mediators do not show favoritism or take sides. Please refrain from trying to torpedo the dispute resolution process with comments such as the above. Give us a chance to come to a resolution that everyone is happy with. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:21, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert92107. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia and just read through the dispute at E-cat. You wrote some things that led me to believe that you ~might~ have a relationship with the project, Industrial Heat LLC, the investor group, etc. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, Robert92107. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
• instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you.

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by out WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with the with the E-cat project, Industrial Heat LLC, the investor group, or any other entity or person that would be relevant here? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, with please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. You can reply here - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 01:51, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. Why would you think that? Nothing I've said even implies that idea! I have no personal connection with the company or any of its people (past or present, to the best of my knowledge). I called the company yesterday and asked if they were still offering shares, and they said no; that has been my only interaction with any of their people (J. T. Vaughn). I also have had no contact or commercial involvement with ANY E-cat or LENR firm or any of those patents or published materials. Of course, I would like their efforts to succeed -- if it can -- but then, don't we all, because the world desperately needs something like that. I am certainly not going to condemn them to failure in advance of their reporting of their efforts. I think they need to be given a fair chance to try, and my section was only indicating what they said about their effort and the business facts involved. I find it bizarre that you can't seem to be able to differentiate facts from opinions.

And frankly, I find it insulting that such an obvious breach of NPOV could be assigned to me, especially when the other editors in conflict are so obvious in their abandonment of the NPOV standard. Time and again they are forcing the argument to be about validation and proof of the system. You only have to read what they wrote to see it! I do agree that care should be taken with respect to claims of validity, but that is not what my dispute is about! To the best of my knowledge every single word in my section is factually true and provable, and if it isn't, I want it to be fixed, but not suppressed as they seem to want to do. THAT is what my dispute is fundamentally about.

Lastly have you even read the section I wrote? It is actually pretty inoffensive, since it states the facts, and just the facts. I am frankly appalled that the Wikipedia mechanism seems to be failing so badly on this article. 2606:6000:C882:6000:A8F6:41F8:B931:69EB (talk) 06:38, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying that you have no connection with the company. I was concerned that you seemed to have insider knowledge, for instance about Industrial Heat LLC's patenting activities. (I do see that their PCT has published, so it is publicly available information). (About your remark on that... anybody can file a patent application - you don't have to own or control dominating patents in order to file a patent application). In any case, you clearly are a proponent of the technology. Please do be aware that advocacy is closely related to conflict of interest and edits of advocates and people with a COI are often indistinguishable with regard to adding POV to content; please do read the helpful essay, WP:ADVOCACY and please be cautious not to violate WP:SOAPBOX, which is policy. Please make sure to put on a Wikipedia "hat" when you log in, and really strive to listen to others who think differently and try to reach consensus. Good luck! Jytdog (talk) 12:54, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All the information I put into the section is contained in the two sources I cited. This is why I'm concerned that people are commenting on what I wrote without actually reading the sources, since they are assuming things not in evidence or going on tangents not covered by what I actually said. I feel this is rather like a Twilight Zone episode, since I'm talking about A, and all these people are criticizing Z! As to your statement that "I am clearly a proponent of the technology" that is incorrect. Again, how can you say that with NO evidence? I have said nothing that indicates this; I have said in talk that I would WISH that it could be made to work, but that in no way says that I think it DOES work, or even WILL be made to work! At this point, I am not prejudging the outcome of the business, unlike the other editors. I am hopeful, but only that. I think that logically there are three positions: proponent, opponent, and "agnostic". I fall into the last camp. The other editors are all opponents, and they cannot accept that a reasonable person could disagree with them. Their position is inconsistent with the standards that a Wikipedia editor MUST adhere to! So, when I say what my position is, please do NOT misrepresent what it actually is without some actual evidence to the contrary, and there is none of that, since I have been entirely consistent throughout on what my position is.

BTW, have you ever considered that we do have one natural example of a LENR reaction? Naturally occurring radioactive decay (in which lead is the final element produced in the process) is a low energy nuclear reaction that produces waste heat. Of course, this is a very slow process, and the heat released is very small per reaction, but in relation to the earth's geology in sum it has been critical to our life. So, could there be other examples of ways that LENR could be achieved with other elements? That is the question, and I am not so foolish as to say either that it has been proven OR that it is impossible! 2606:6000:C882:6000:6418:5FAF:422:94D2 (talk) 18:01, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are clearly a proponent of the technology. You are very far from "disinterested" which is what the third category would be. I have no idea whatsoever what "E-cat" is. I am disinterested. I just read the article Talk page and it is clear on as the nose on your face that you follow this technology very closely and you are very hopeful it will work. As I wrote above, please do read, and be aware of, WP:ADVOCACY and the WP:SOAPBOX - things go much better when everyone is self-aware. Good luck on the article. Jytdog (talk) 20:39, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't disagree with you more! Let me repeat this again. Of course, I am not disinterested. If I were truly disinterested, I wouldn't be here on Wikipedia trying to get the article updated. (I am far more interested in other things.) I also do NOT follow this subject closely. I have read about it in the past, and recently was looking at it again because I am interested in clean energy technologies in general. I am NOT a proponent of the technology, or am I an opponent either. All I am fundamentally saying is humanity needs to give it a chance. That's why I'm an agnostic where it is concerned. The current company filing and funding appears to be the most serious effort yet to make it work. THAT is why it deserves notice in the article. IF it can be made to work, then great, since we need clean energy technologies. IF it doesn't, then some scientists and engineers will have learned something. The opponents cannot prove that the technology CANNOT work if done correctly. After all, as I said above, in nature we've already got an example of a naturally occurring LENR process. Granted that this is clearly the easiest one, but could a LENR process be made to work with other elements given the right circumstances? Who knows? I don't, but I'm not going to say it's impossible. Isn't that clear enough? 2606:6000:C882:6000:A4B6:EFB1:25D:89B7 (talk) 19:15, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

606:6000:C882:6000:6418:5FAF:422:94D2, regarding what you call a "LENR", we have an article on that. See Radioisotope thermoelectric generator. (The preceding statement does not imply support or opposition to anything anyone here has written. It is just a link to a related article.) --Guy Macon (talk) 21:26, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm making a connection between naturally occurring "radioactive decay" of stable atoms and "low energy nuclear reaction", since the former is actually an example of the latter. You don't think that some radioactive atoms are just deciding on their own to decay, do you? No, that type of "decay," which produces waste heat, is triggered by a low energy input in exactly the right way to start the process. (Of course, there are other radioactive atoms which are unstable and very rapidly decay into other atoms, but I'm not talking about those.) I haven't read the LENR article, I'm only pointing to the class of low energy nuclear reactions as an aspect of atomic physics and NOT a man-made device or process that attempts to create that process.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. James (^talk/_contribs) 04:15, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at sandbox2. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

Oops! I apologize, since apparently I misunderstood the file to be deleted ... the '3' version, and not the '3a' version! Yes, deleting '3' is perfectly acceptable.

(Actually, at times I have run into problems trying to replace one map with another altered version of it, since the software appears NOT to be able to distinguish between the two files, and refuses to do the replace. So, the only work-around I know of is to change the file name and upload the new version, and change the main page to point to the new version.

Hello, Robert92107. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "sandbox2".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert, as mentioned on the article talk page on several occasions, you cannot wildly edit the article as you see fit. Generally, editors are expected to follow consensus and the manual of style. As for your last edit, adding overly colloquial phrases in parentheses into the lead is misplaced; without referring to WP:MOS it becomes obvious if you just read over some other articles out there and compare those to your edits. Multiple editors have raised related points on editing and consensus-building numerous times, and from my perspective any talk page exchange with you has become more and more confrontational, which I very much regret. Again from my perspective, you filibuster all discussions by (re)stating your viewpoints instead of engaging with your peers' comments in depth.
In the ideal case, you would change your editing style to become constructive, so we can make the article better as a community. I think everyone would love to work on improvements with you, instead of against you. In the absence of that, however, your edits will continue to be WP:DISRUPTIVE, and will be reverted either by me or other editors.
This is a comment on general editing, so I'm posting it here. For discussions on the CAHSR article, as usual see you on the respective talk page. DracaenaGuianensis (talk) 01:24, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not write in all capital letters, as you did at Talk:California High-Speed Rail. Doing so considered "shouting" and is disruptive. Your edits may have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated disruptive editing may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.--Jasper Deng (talk) 00:34, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at California High-Speed Rail shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Disagree. I'm trying to get textual statements changed so that they are factually correct. Robert92107 (talk) 22:56, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It does not matter whether you are right or not. Do not edit war.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:27, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. DracaenaGuianensis (talk) 05:28, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Robert92107: I regret that it had to come to this step, but I tried reaching out to you on your TP before, but to no avail. Since our dispute is not resolved, I filed a WP:ANI notice. Chief subject is what I deem to be disruptive behavior on your part on the California High-Speed Rail-talk page. I am giving you notice so that you may submit your viewpoints for fair consideration.
