HUMAN FACTOR: Anonymous personal attack
The folowing anonymous message has been left a on my talk page back in 6 October 2006 ­I've only just now received it because I hadn't been on Wikipedia for a while.

===The links you've posted everywhere=== Hello, you appear to be using the IP address 192.107.75.158, plus various other IP addresses, such as 192.107.77.3. Under these IP's, as well as this account, you have gone around posting links to your own personal webpage on dozens of articles. This is not acceptable under Wikipedia's rules, see Spam, among other policies. Wikipedia is not a place to advertise your personal web site; if your website is important and notable, then other people will post links to it. I removed them on various articles, you reverted my changes, and by now someone else has already removed them again. I suggest you read up on our various policies on this issue, such as the previous one I mentioned, and External_links, before --you post any more links to your website. --Xyzzyplugh 01:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

WIKIPEDIA GENERAL SUGGESTIONS

Reducing the impact

''Do not answer offensive comments. Forget about them. Forgive the editor. Do not escalate the conflict. (an individual approach) Ignore incivility. Operate as if the offender does not exist. Set up a "wall" between the offender and the community.'' 


 * At first, the message titled “The links you've posted everywhere” is offensive personal attack and is based on suppositions but not on facts.
 * In general I have not the habit to answer on anonymous accusations; therefore this comment rather is addressed to occasional visitors of this page because I am not anonymous.

A few my formal (very patient) remarks:

1. It is sometimes useful to distinguish: personal webpages, business pages and sc. research pages. On the other hand, a good scientific habit is to make references.

2. I write as the user: Adam M. Gadomski (see for example "Socio-cognitive" article) and before as 192.107.77.3.

3. ENEA  is a large research center (more than 2000 employers and numerous students) with many computer users. Some of them cooperated or cooperate with the HID (High-intelligence and Decision Research Group). On the other hand, for example, the address 192.107.75.158 is temporal only and is shared by occasional persons using different computers. Scientific remarks:

4. The references to: my scientific works (not "personal webpages" ), the ENEA's server on meta-knowledge engineering and to adequate publications, were quasi always congruent with the scientific contents of Wikipedia articles, as well as, with the modifications inserted. Some of them dramatically improved quality of articles using general meta-knowledge systemic perspective, but these references to their scientific sources were cancelled (?).

Never suggest a view is invalid simply because of who its proponent is ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility)

- The editorial activity relaying on the elimination of those very specialist references, demonstrates lack of competences (what is well seen in the list of User:Xyzzyplugh contributions related to numerous completely different fields). - By the way, I did not found "dozens of articles" with references to my RESEARCH works (Wikipedia has more than 1 500 000 articles).

In general

My contributions to Wikipedia were and are occasional. I can improve sometimes few articles from my research field - when they are too naive or misleading. I am engaged in other (I hope) serious research works and I am not able and I have not the time to correct this type "professional improvements" and to reply more on the similar messages. My advice- from the socio-cognitive perspective

I suggest to Xyzzyplugh, be focused on the strictly editorial activity and/or on well chosen domain of his own specialization. There are always numerous very well seen spams in the Wikipedia articles, commercial and personal, also in the articles "corrected" by him.

- Of course, there are also other possible explanations of this public offensive anonymous message to not anonymous person....

- Anyway, good luck Mr. Xyzzyplugh in 2007.
