Mike Darwin
You appear to concentrate entirely on one WP:BLP. I think you should read that policy. You might also read the essay WP:PUFF as well. Thanks! Collect (talk) 12:34, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I am doing just the biography of Mike Darwin for the moment. Thanks for that to the article.

The Wikipuffery thing does not apply. I have a total of 196 references when the bio will be complete, so I suggest postponing the judgement until then.

Eleitl (talk) 13:46, 27 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I think you should understand that few BLPs have as much detail and commentary on their subject as this one now has. I suggest you try looking at other ones before continuing this project.  I note also that you have direct contact with Darwin? Collect (talk) 12:49, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree that the size of the thing is excessive, and needs heavy trimming down and editing. I am focusing at getting the entire document in before calling others in to do editing, review and trimming down. Yes, I have direct contact with Darwin.

Addendum: I'll factor out the excessive science part into a dedicated article under Cryobiology/Cryonics, and reference that from the article. Please give me a week before coming down on my neck, I'm reasonably new to the Wikipedia as an editor, and the document is rather large. I don't think there's a way to edit this in a sandbox, and making it world-visible only when complete? Thanks!

Eleitl (talk) 13:45, 27 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually - you can. Just write new sections in a sandbox in your userspace  (create a page like User:Eleitl/sandbox)and ask any administrator to merge it into the article - which would preserve your own edit history on the section.   As you personally know Mike Darwin, you likely should also read WP:COI which might apply.  Hope this helps! Collect (talk) 15:19, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Mike Darwin. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

The content has been removed at the request of Mike Darwin. I've moved it to my private sandbox where it will be edited until fit for public consumtion. Feel free to revert the content prior to the state of my meddling (eleitl, roughly end-December 2010). I'd done that, except I couldn't figure out in a hurry.

Eleitl (talk) 21:39, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If Mike Darwin would like to request an action on the article, I suggest bringing WP:OTRS to his attention. However, please note that requests of this sort (even made through that channel) are not automatically honored, and in this case it is extremely unlikely in my view that the article would be deleted even if he wants that.  ta, Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:46, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Ha ha ha ha. Eleitl (talk) 21:50, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure what is so funny. Anyway I would also like to draw your attention to WP:3RR -- please leave the article alone for a while.  thanks, Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:54, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

You not sure why so funny, you think for a while. Anyways, I'm done with Wikipedia. Enjoy. Eleitl (talk) 22:00, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If your fit of pique passes and you are willing to learn how things are done here, I suspect you'd have something to add. Up to you.  Nomoskedasticity (talk) 22:10, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
