Genick
Hi EM. I've noticed your recent interaction with the difficult potto. I've had some interactions with him before (see for instance the talk page on shock wave), where he wore me down arguing about his "new" shock wave solutions to the point where my energy to revert him disappeared. I've noticed, for example his linking to his (extremely poor) online text-book in hundreds of articles, which I feel like I'd like to revert, but I haven't had the energy for yet another fight with him. He's created rather a lot of articles of very poor quality (for instance the excretable moving shock) which need a concerted effort to clean up. Please don't feel that you're alone in this. If I can be useful to you in any way please let me know. Regards, AKAF 07:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC).


 * EMBaero, for what it is worth, some many months ago, I exchanged a number of emails with Genick in which I asked if his book had been published anywhere other than online and had it ever been peer reviewed. As I recall, he admitted that it had not been published anywhere but online and that he doesn't plan to do so. As I also recall, he could not name any peer reviewers of his book. I also did a search of Google Scholar to see if he has published any peer reviewed work of any kind and anywhere ... and found there was little or none. I came to the personal conclusion that the credibility of his online book was not very good. Regards, - mbeychok 05:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * All of his publications seem to be related to die-casting, the subject of his Ph.D. dissertation and another free text that he has on his website. I don't see any publications related to compressible flow.  He was definitely a student of Ernst R. G. Eckert, who was internationally recognized for is work in heat transfer.  Coincidentally, I work at the same place as someone else who completed his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota and knew Dr. Eckert, and he might have been around at the same time as Genick.  Perhaps I will bring that up with him sometime soon.  EMBaero 20:32, 20 October 2007 (UTC)EMBaero

You should think what you doing
Mr. EMBaero or who ever you are,

You make the allegations that i hide. You should read my user page. I am Genick Bar-Meir. You have understand that it is not appropriate to post erroneous unsupported claim while removing supported information. For example, you claim that there is only two solutions to oblique shock or the oblique shock turn to curve shock and etc. More over, you claim that analytical solution has no merit or point. Mover over you claim that no one used it. These claims aside to the fact they wrong they are without any base or reference or logic. I also do not understand why inserting to point to Java appellate when there is many who  cannot be used it. I also do not understand why you remove link to an on-line program that use PHP.

Look I do not know who you are. But your behaviour is distasteful. You think that you can remove information with total disregards to other is not appropriate. If you have a specific claim you can discuss it. For example, if you believe that analytical solution has no merit or no one use please show any evidence. I will accept it. I do not fight versions war. I will file a dispute against you. I do not say that just because google say that I am the most famous guy in compressible flow you should do as I say. If you want to discuss specific issue I am always willing to do it.

Username concerns
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Concerns resolved - thank you. Sheffield Steel talkstalk 15:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Aerodynamics
Hi EM, I've left a couple of messages on the user pages of other contributors to shock wave, encouraging them to have a look at a couple of pages of interest. I have to log off now, but I'll see if I can get to normal shock tomorrow. All the best AKAF 15:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Oblique shock angle plot
FYI: I have replaced your Image:Machbetatheta diagram.PNG image on the oblique shock page by a more detailed version. Let me know if I need to make any improvements. Thanks. -- Myth (Talk) 05:52, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hiding
Some of replies are on www.potto.org/reactoin.php and on Gas Dyanmics term


 * You do not hide while using Genick, and I am leaning towards

thinking that you actually are Dr. Genick Bar-Meir. However, I find the edits made by 209.32.159.25 very interesting. First, that IP address is located in Minneapolis, where you earned your Ph.D. and currently reside. From your Ph.D. dissertation, it looks like you are an Israeli or at least went to school in Israel for some time. The user 209.32.159.25, in addition to editing compressible flow pages and adding links to your online text, is mostly used to vandalize articles on Muslims. This cannot be a coincidence and I am wondering if there is any way you can explain this?


 * As Azasmat in Borat movie said "we don't fly because the fear that

Jews will repite their 9/11 attack." Are you in a habit to spread groundless and ridicules claims? You know that it is nonsense.


 * Downloading Java is free, and this NASA applet is very good. If you look

at the history, I believe every applet on the oblique shock page has been coded in Java. I suppose I am not too sure what you are referencing this complaint to.


 * You should know that Java is not working on all computers and in fact most

linuxes do not came standard with it.


 * Nor should you. However, I will tell you two things. First, I am an

aerodynamicist. Second, you have made reference on potto.org and Wikipedia to people that I know, and I think they would be very unhappy to see themselves referenced in your compressible flow text.


 * I haven't done it so far. Yes, agree with you.

It is good idea and I will post my reply to you on www.potto.org. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Genick (talk • contribs) 19:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
