Definition of absolute acceleration
Have raised the point in the talk page of the twins paradox article. If you can say one frame has zero absolute acceleration you must be able to provide a definition of absolute accelleration. Please do so, I am intrigued. AnnabelBuxton 14:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for blocking the page. The talk page clearly had become inadequate as a means to work towards consensus among editors. DVdm 21:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Just to reassure you I am definitely with the regular editors here, but there are several possibilities for what might be going on with this new user. Some probing is needed to find out, so I think we should try hard to follow Geometry guy19:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

So instead of making statements which SnS could develop into unproductive arguments, I have been asking short questions. Geometry guy19:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and whilst I'm at it, two other things. Please don't mark all of your edits as minor, only small corrections and reversion of blatant vandalism should be marked as minor. Blatant vandalism does not include reverting based on your interpretation of our non free image policy. The removal of non free images from articles is certainly not a minority viewpoint and it certainly shall not be treated as vandalism by you or anybody else. Nick 12:49, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ah yes, you are right about that.Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. Good point. DVdm 12:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
A suggestion
Your userpage says 'see talk page'. Using the following code
#REDIRECT [[User talk:DVdm]]
you could get the page to automatically redirect to this page. Just a thought :) ck lostsword•T•C 21:32, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tip. But... supposing the redirection is in place, how do I access my userpage if/when I change my mind? DVdm 07:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hi DVdm! You can do so by adding &redirect=no to the end of the URL. Note the difference between this and this one with the expanded URL. You can also use the expanded URL to see the old history that gets hidden behind a redirect after it's created. Tim Shuba 13:46, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Tim... ok , I get it. However, I have merely put a link on the page. No redirection needed. Thanks guys :-) DVdm 15:34, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Twin Paradox talk page
The anonymous user on the twin paradox talk page obviously doesn't want to learn the answers to his questions, but just wants to tick people off. That being the case, may I humbly suggest that continuing to argue the point and sniping with him is precisely the worst response...? -- SCZenz 21:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right. I think I'm done with him. And with his other less anonymous identities ;-)

Have you dropped by Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam to report the website? Tabercil 18:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Refactored links, you don't want your talk page locked up when we blacklist. By the way, it's m:Talk:Spam blacklist for the blacklisting. Someone's squatting my account over at meta so don't look at me. MER-C 12:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Testing edit summary links
Just a test. DVdm 09:01, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Another. DVdm 09:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
And yet another. DVdm 09:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, I am surprised you didn't bring this up at the pub. I think the issue it that the 'single bracket' notation for external links (also valid for a wikipedia full URL) is disabled in the edit summary field. This makes sense, as otherwise spammers would flood history pages with live links. For internal wikipedia pages, you can use the 'double bracket' notation, but you need to shorten the URL and (optionally) use a pipe. It appears that spaces and underscores are treated equivalently on the left side of the pipe. I am using [[User talk:DVdm#A suggestion|internal link]] in this edit summary. Tim Shuba 08:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Another test along your suggestion, using [[Talk:Herbert_Dingle#A_friendly_reminder_about_the_three-revert_rule|This internal link]]. DVdm 09:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, Tim, this works perfectly. Thanks!
- See you later at the pub. DVdm 09:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
AIV report
Since it looks like the guy has a dynamic ip and too large a block of addresses he may come from, your best bet is blacklisting his site, like you mentioned. To do this, check out WM:SPAM. Let me know if there's anything more I can do to help out. Shell babelfish 16:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks.
I clicked onWP:LINKSPAM, but I don't really see a way to proceed from here. Can you advise? TIA DVdm17:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Request
To DVdm-
I request you not to revert my post on discussion page. I do acknowledge that it is wrong to post unsourced material directly in article as per wikipedia policy. Please refrain from doing it again. viran 21:49, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
As I said above, I do acknowledge that posting unsourced material, original research content is against wikipedia policy. But explaining sourced material is not against wikipedia policy. I request you not to revert my contribution to

Never underestimate anyone in this universe, be it virus in gutter or Einstein.
If I choose I can give all these administrators nightmare they can't even imagine. All people in sci.physics.* have trained me except you and stephen speicher.
But I am not going to do that. Once all my usernames are blocked, I will move out as I did in sci.physics.*. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhishka (talk • contribs) 15:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

- And I did see your comment at ANI about the consensus version. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to protect an article, then get involved in the content dispute by editing the content. You could always make a request at 19:13, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Your Malicious Censorship Will Cease
DVdm- Fie on you for your malicious censorship of my good faith addition of a Criticisms of RT section to four RT articles. You must be some kind of wretch, misfit or punk, or any combination thereof. You must be lower than excrement at the bottom of a municipal sewage system. You confuse science with censorship. You present theory and fantasy as fact and then censor my well-referenced material by qualified scientists calling it "crackpot." Were Nobel laureates Rutherford and Soddy crackpots? Was Bell Laboratories scientist Herbert Ives a crackpot? Inasmuch as your reversions were improper, I will reinstate this material. If you delete it again you will suffer the consequences. This is your last warning.RAmesbury (talk) 12:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- DVdm, you wretch, I've got RAmesbury's contributions on my watchlist too. Alfred Centauri (talk) 02:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- I have reported RAmesbury for making changes for which payment was offered on Anti-Relativity.com: See noticeboard. I thought you might be interested. Antelan talk 19:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

RE:Interactions with RAmesbury (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Hello Dvdm. I am contacting you in reference to your recent actions against RAmesbury recently, over pages relating to relativity theory. I see that, that user may be not all that acquianted with
- "...before it escalates into something uncontrollable". Perhaps I can reassure you if I tell you that I tend to avoid interacting (- both on a personal and technical level -) with people who have the reflex of calling someone "lower than excrement at the bottom of a municipal sewage system". So I don't think that there is much to escalate into something uncontrollable.
- If you haven't done so already, do have a look at the preceeding section and at this. Finding some sort of agreement with someone like this is not on my agenda. DVdm (talk) 21:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oh dear. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. And I apologise, I can now understand your situation. All the best, — Rudget Contributions 16:48, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
