I have a problem, many Wikipedia readers would like to consider neutronium element 0 in the periodic table of elements. As such someone has inserted a element infobox in the article, and added speculative and hypothetical information to it as if it was an element. I decided to play along, and add more information to said infobox. It was promptly removed for the reason that it was original research even thoug the entire infobox is by default original research. The International Union of Aplied and Practiced Chemistry does not recognise neutronium as belonging to the periodic table; the usage of an element infobox is requires original research. Following this, I decided that there is no legitimate reason acceptable by Wikipedia to accept otherwise, as there is not substantial established information to add to any infobox at all for that matter. Even then other members restored the element infobox arguing that it looks good, because neutronium looks like element 0. My case is that if the element infobox remains, then it should be stressed that it is a hypothetical infobox, and so it should be able to accept hypothetical information without being reverted for the reason I stated earlier. Or, the infobox should be removed all together and the page be protected. You can bview the history log and you'll see clear reasons for edits.

Hi Plasmic Physics and thanks for your message. Firstly, I wish to declare that I have little knowlege in this particuler subject, but can guide you to the appropriate venue to voice your concerns/dispute. Your message would be better suited to the talk page of the relavent article, that way more informed users will see it. If this does not work I would direct you to

this page asking that it be protected whilst you communicate your stance with the other users. Cheers,   «l| Promethean ™|l»  (talk) 08:59, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

You should probably back off the opposers. I responded to your redneck comment in a lighthearted way, but continuing to attack opposers the way you have is not going to help Dylan or your own reputation. Gigs (talk) 05:13, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Dear ☑ Gigs / ☐ Asswipe,

☑ Thankyou for your message, / ☐ Who the fuck do you think you are talking to me?

In regards to my response to the ☑ opposers / ☐ sons of bitches, I felt it was necessary to make clear ☑ my thoughts about some of the reasons used / ☐ that those ageist rednecks are going to pay!

For all intents and purposes ☑ I have no further reason to comment at that RFA / ☐ I'm gonna have the

lastword

until those sons of bitches backdown!

☑ Kind regards, / ☐ Up yours!

My 3RR

Actually, it was the other person who violated the 3RR. I'm trying to deal with them in a discussion about the content and they simply go about whatever they want to the article. It reeks of

WP:OWN and I'm getting pretty frustrated that such an experienced user is trying to bully his way about things. I made some changes to the Tai Streets article and then went to the users talk page and left him a message asking him for help and he simply blew that off and called me a vandal, then started undoing my work regardless of whether it was a good edit on his part. Iamnothuman (talk) 08:28, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

No one, imo, has violated it yet. However, Be warned if you rever that article one more time you will be blocked.   «l| Promethean ™|l»  (talk) 08:32, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I hear ya, i'm trying to encourage the person to engage in discussion, but he doesn't really want to do that. How do I go about resolving this in the future without having to deal with these stupid edit wars? BTW, I started by asking him to discuss matters. Iamnothuman (talk) 08:35, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Renaissance architecture

The article about Italian architecture was created by chopping to pieces an A-class top priority article. Of which I was the author and therefore have a fairly good idea as to what was essential and what was not essential to the vandalised original. Amandajm (talk) 08:43, 29 December 2009 (UTC) I probably need to add that a separate article on Italian Renaissance architecture is superfluous as the history of Renaissance architecture is so closely aligned with Italy that one cannot be separated from the other.
