radionics
re your msg re radionics introduction. This editor has not been active for a long time. Perhaps you and other editors can deal with your issue re radionics. Cheers, Wanderer57 (talk) 18:44, 19 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Likewise, I'm not able to contribute on the Radionics article.
 * I started to wonder though where the definition that you objected to might have come from. I found this.  It seems the term 'radionics' is used in two very different ways.


 * http://www.skepdic.com/radionics.html


 * Wild stuff. Cheers, Wanderer57 (talk) 02:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * PS FYI I think if you go to a user page and open the toolbox, you will find a way to email the user.  That is, if they provided Wikipedia with an email address.  Wanderer57 (talk) 02:51, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Further thoughts re radionics. I looked into the New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998) and found "Radionics - a system of alternative medicine based on the supposition  that detectable electromagnetic radiation emitted by living matter can be interpreted diagnostically and transmitted to treat illness at a distance by complex electrical instruments."


 * Based on this, I'm inclined to the view that the lead section of our article is basically correct as far as it goes, though it is far more casually worded than the dictionary I just quoted.


 * I looked at the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary which you suggested. 1993 edition. It does not list the word "radionics".  Which edition did you look at please?  Wanderer57 (talk) 22:11, 31 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message and your work on the article. I'm still puzzled as to why Merriam-Webster 1993 does not have the word.  Wanderer57 (talk) 17:36, 2 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Me again. I put the notes on my user page into chronological order.  Also I added a reply to your recent comments there.  Wanderer57 (talk) 05:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Re:copyedit tag
I removed it. For old tags like that, if you see that they are no longer relevant, feel free to remove them yourself. Krashlandon (talk) 15:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)


 * You don't need to be an administrator to edit that page. That only happens with certain types of page protection. I also fixed your malformed sections on my talk. You need to do a return after the section header, or just use the "new section" button at the top of the page. Krashlandon (talk) 18:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Disambiguation Joseph Mungai


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Disambiguation Joseph Mungai. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Joseph Mungai (disambiguation). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Joseph Mungai (disambiguation) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Nat Gertler (talk) 16:29, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:08, 19 February 2012 (UTC) Legal threat is here -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:16, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

"I request that, unless you're trying to get Wikipedia into suable territory, that you remove the deletion tag immediately." is a clear legal threat -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid that the kangaroo court approach is also unacceptable. Boing! has not read what I wrote, otherwise he or she (and the other 2 parties who involved themselves) would not misconstrue the situation. I state there is no threat, there is only implication that Boing! was on a very thin line by threatening deletion of a newly completed page, and falsely claiming to know that there is only one person with the name disambiguated on the page. General media and I can fully dispute Boing!'s claim. There is also mixup on the page versions......the page which should be set for deletion is "Disambiguation.....", a previous version of Joseph Mungai (disambiguation). The deletion notice received did not state the previous version, so I'm specifically requesting that the 2nd version not be deleted. On page creation issues: There seems no way to change the page/article name during editing, so the older versions stay on, and from other talk received today, there was a redirect placed on the older version, so be careful which one is deleted. Talkback if any issues remain after this note. Blurbzone (talk) 22:12, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I did not make any such claim "to know that there is only one person with the name disambiguated on the page"! It is *you* who does not understand what a Wikipedia disambiguation page is for, and I would have been happy to help explain it to you had you not approached me in such an aggressive and accusatory manner. But you can try to learn for yourself if you want, by reading WP:Disambiguation -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:18, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * From your response I see that your message was indeed intended to cause some chill, and that the block was indeed justified. You can't be unblocked unless you retract your threat and promise not to do anything like this in the future. Max Semenik (talk) 23:53, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Your email
In response to your email request to be unblocked, you should be able to continue to post your unblock requests here - although you are blocked from general editing, you should still be able to edit this page. Alternatively, you can request an overturn of your block by email, by following the instructions at WP:BASC.

Regarding your assertion that there was no legal threat in your words - even if you do not intend to take legal action yourself, any suggestion in any dispute that the other person may face the possibility of legal action is considered a breach of WP:NLT, which says "It is important to refrain from making comments that others may reasonably understand as legal threats, even if the comments are not intended in that fashion." And if you check the responses to your block, you will see that there are three people here who agree that you were in breach of Wikipedia's legal threat policy - me, Favonian, and Max Semenik.

In order to be unblocked, you will need to unequivocally withdraw your "suggestion" (let's call it that) that my actions might get me or Wikipedia sued, and make a commitment to not use such tactics again in future.

In general, if you should face disagreement here about what is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia (and you certainly will, as that's the way collaborative projects work), you should approach other editors in a friendly and civil manner rather than angrily making demands of them. If someone changes something you have written, or deletes a page you have created, I know it can be frustrating. But there is usually a good reason for it - and you will make much better progress via civil inquiry rather than by confrontation.

Finally, you should have had time to read WP:Disambiguation now, so do you understand why the disambiguation page you created was inappropriate?

Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:13, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
