SETI's Paradox

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article SETI's Paradox, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Fermi paradox

Hi, you keep adding this. Please familiarize yourself with WP:BURDEN. If you have further question, please discuss it on the talkpage there, here, or at my place. Happy editing, Paradoctor (talk) 09:18, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to the page Fermi paradox do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Uncle Dick (talk) 17:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Fermi paradox. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Uncle Dick (talk) 17:26, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

I guess, the vandalism is your stupid deletion my text, Unkle Dick! METIfan (talk) 17:44, 10 March 2010

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Fermi Paradox. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Rrburke^ekrubrR 17:50, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Nobody can explain me why some person delete my link to Category:Interstellar messages, which I made in Fermi Paradox article!!! METIfan (talk) 18:26, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

This is your final warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Fermi paradox. --Rrburke^ekrubrR 18:37, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

You MUST block that ignoramus, who delete my text! METIfan

Nobody can explain me why ignorant persons delete my link to Category:Interstellar messages, which I made in Fermi Paradox article!!! METIfan

April 2010

Please stop your edit warring and addition of unsourced original reearch. -- œ^™ 10:11, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

I know what I do, because I am a specialist and I have took part in composing and transmission four Interstellar Radio Messages (IRMs):

• Cosmic Call 1999
• Teen Age Message 201
• Cosmic Call 2003
• A Message From Earth 2008!!!

The article Pseudo-METI represents not original reearch (please correct your "reearch"), but classification of IRMs, only! METIfan (talk) 12:15, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Then you should not be editing that article at all because you have a conflict of interest. And yes, "Pseudo-METI" amounts to original research. -- œ^™ 01:16, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

October 2010

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Trafford09 (talk) 22:56, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding or significantly changing content without citing a reliable source, as you did with this edit to RuBisCo Stars, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 15:02, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

• You see, the RuBisCo Stars article also has not any reliable sources of information! METIfan (talk) 15:25, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at RuBisCo Stars, you may be blocked from editing. Editorializing in the text of an article is considered vandalism. Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 16:07, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

• Please do not be a stupid! I wrote you: You see, the RuBisCo Stars article also has not any reliable sources of information! And you MUST understand my words!!! METIfan (talk) 17:45, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

You wrote it in the article text. That's why you received a warning. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 17:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I wrote in article text, because this text is charlatanism!!! Please read about it in the paper

[1]

METIfan (talk) 17:57, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Then that argument should be made on the Discussion page, and consensus obtained to alter the article, rather than simply making an unsupported, editorial assertion, as you did (and were reverted for). --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 18:04, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

You can communicate with Arecibo Observatory staff:

rminchin@naic.edu, ehowell@naic.edu, jfriedman@naic.edu, arun@naic.edu

and they explain you that this pseud-message was NOT transmitted!!! METIfan (talk) 18:08, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

The Arecibo staff didn't edit the article. You did. That's why I'm communicating with you. As to this article's content, if there are factual errors that can be corrected, you're free to make those corrections, as long as your corrections can be supported by reference to reliable, verifiable, neutral sources. If, however, you intend to simply disparage the article content, you will likely be blocked from editing for disruptive behavior. Please review WP:POINT and WP:IDONTLIKEIT before continuing. Consider this your only warning. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 18:15, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

And now you are obliged to apologise before me for rough attack and rough editing!!! METIfan (talk) 18:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

And must explain -- why did you delete this my text:

RuBisCo Message was Joe Davis’s second eccentric project. Again the technical questions of transmission remained at a frivolous level. For example, Joe Davis wrote: ‘‘Arecibo’s ‘‘coder’’ (a device that interrupts the two megawatt radar signal at precise intervals) was down [???].’’ Thus (he continued), ‘‘we converted the 1434-mer RuBisCo sequence to an analog audio file that I recorded on my iPhone. Then, we actually interfaced my iPhone with Arecibo’s powerful radar and transmitted from approximately 11:30 p.m. until 12:45a.m.’’ Such activity should evoke nothing but an ironic smile from radioscientists who are experts in deep space communication. METIfan (talk) 18:40, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

See WP:NPOV. The passage quoted above is clearly biased, and as such does not belong in the article. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 18:50, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I discovered this text in the paper:

http://www.antiguosastronautas.com/articulos/Zaitsev05.html METIfan (talk) 18:55, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I read the article earlier, although I had to use Google Translate to do so, not being a native Spanish speaker. While the passage is written by what I will presume is an expert in the field, its tone is still heavily biased in that it disparages the RuBisCo Message project without giving specific details or objections as to why. Such would hardly be considered for a refereed or peer-reviewed journal on radioastronomy because of that bias, and by extension, I see no reason why it should be included in a Wikipedia article.

Any discussion regarding this matter beyond this point should take place on the article's Discussion page, so that others may contribute towards consensus. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 19:04, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I already wrote, that the RuBisCo Stars article also has not any reliable sources of information such as refereed or peer-reviewed journal!

METIfan (talk) 19:14, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

...which is why I added the {{unreferenced}} tag to the top of the article. That will bring the lack of references to the attention of other editors. But that does not excuse your attempt to add clearly biased material to the article.

I'm going to open a discussion regarding this matter at WP:NPOVN. It's clear I'm not getting my point across. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 20:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
