Hello, Ethan Krauss, and
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Managing a conflict of interest
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 05:26, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Setting the record straight
Hi Ethan,
Fascinating! I can see why you are frustrated by the MIT reports!
You naturally want to come here and tell it like it is. As you must have noticed, we Wikipedians can be a bit bureaucratic about things and it can be daunting for a newcomer like yourself to know which way to turn. I will try to help smooth things out, but as a volunteer like yourself my time is limited. Meanwhile, please do not be in too much of a hurry, as this can

- I have now qualified the claim on the MIT page to at least some extent and will keep an eye on challengers. I have also begun a wider investigation, which I am recording at User:Steelpillow/test1. By the way, thanks for the private email, which I will keep confidential because it contains personal details of others. But for all content issues, please communicate through the Wikipedia talk pages, so that other users can see that we are not trying to pervert the encyclopedia with fake news (more bureaucracy!). — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 13:03, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

You have been told about the conflict of interest guideline more than once, but you have still been editing in violation of that guideline. It would be a good idea to read the guideline and make sure you follow it, because otherwise an administrator may block you from editing. Also, Wikipedia articles need to be written from a
- Please tell how my most recent post has broken any of the C.O.I. guidelines. I have read them and don't see any conflicts of interest whatsoever. My editions are highly supported historical facts, provided exactly in the spirit of the guidelines. Undoing my posts is pretty much exactly the same as saying the Wright Brothers didn't fly. Although the Highly and properly referenced invention obviously doesn't carry a person.[1] and [2] Ethan Krauss (talk) 03:05, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- The Conflict of Interest guidelines are given at Talk:Ionocraft, and leave it to more experienced editors to deal with. You will see that I have started one discussion thread there already. I am working up some more thoughts in my user space, as I can find the time. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:09, 14 January 2019 (UTC)]

Hi Ethan,
I have now made all the substantive changes I had in mind. Is there anything that you really disagree with, or that you would also like me to take a look at? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 14:01, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi Steelpillow,
I don't have any specific suggestions for better wording just yet. It is not just modern electronics that make it possible to carry a power supply. It took a complex system with a lot of novel elements to make it work. The power to weight had to be increased by orders of magnitude.
All of these devices are "fixed wing." It's just that utilizing large wings etc. is a method of reducing the power to weight requirements of an ion propulsion unit. I would hope that the technology is headed toward very small or no wings as it is advantageous. Ethan Krauss (talk) 19:32, 22 January 2019 (UTC) Thanks!
There are many things to say, but one important detail is that it is not correct to take the words "self contained" from my patent and apply them to the MIT device. Their much later device is not self contained as it requires a bungee cord for launch. I am not trying to cause any further trouble however, since I really don't have time or the good health to argue indefinitely. Also, while it sounds great for people to say that there are well defined equations and that the phenomenon is well understood, in truth there is still a lot of room for improvement in this subject, otherwise, their would be no point.
