BLP Presumption in favor of privacy - guidance needed
Hello,

I've found myself in a ticklish situation with the Rob Gilbert article. The other day it popped up on the Recent Changes page, and when I noticed that it was a poorly-sourced, possibly non-notable, BLP article, I went looking for sources. Google News turned up lots of articles like this one for the name Roby Gilbert, which was at the time one of the names listed on the article. Whether Roby Gilbert is the same as the Rob Gilbert in the article may be an issue, and one I plan to discuss on the article's talk page after this issue is resolved, but that's not the subject of this "helpme" request.

So I added a short, well-sourced statement about the subject I found on Google News. A previous editor of that article then returned and removed the statement as "defamatory". The statement was not untrue; but in looking over WP:BLP just in case I found the "Presumption in favor of privacy" section. So now I'm unsure what to do, because if that section isn't added back, the subject of the article may not otherwise be notable. Would you say that the statement I added in this edit is or is not allowable under that policy? Would you say restoring it &mdash; or even discussing it on the article's talk page &mdash; is a good idea or not?

Thanks! -- Ken_g6 (factors &#124; composites) 22:31, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sure other's will comment about suitability. I don't see how that edit was "defamatory" as it does not accuse the subject - in fact it shows him as the victim. I also note that the reverter has only made edits to that page, so it could be some sort of WP:SPA with maybe a hidden agenda.  Ron h jones (Talk) 23:10, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I humbly suggest you take this problem over to WP:BLPN - where folks more versed in these specific types of trouble are likely to be able to assist you.


 * I've cancelled out the helpme for now; please, try that forum - but do ask if you need more help. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 23:49, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Chzz! I didn't know about that noticeboard before.  I've changed my mind and decided to tackle the identity question first, on the article's talk page.  If and when that's ever resolved, I'll take this issue to BLPN.  Or I might even take both issues there.  Thanks again! -- Ken_g6 (factors &#124; composites) 02:45, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool; that sounds like a good plan. I wasn't 'passing the buck' - the BLPN board is quite quick to respond, and gets more expert attention; seems the best place. But, always, use a 'helpme' to get some guidance. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 02:53, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

LTE Thompson
Thanks for helping me start this one up. I know Dr Tommy towards the end of his life and, upon reflection, I should have spent more time talking with him since his contemporaries (and friends) included Einstein, Goddard (rocketry), Oppenheimer etc.--Vumba (talk) 19:06, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You're very welcome! [[File:Icon_cool.gif]] Now, I hate to bring this up, but I really should mention that you might have a Conflict of Interest.  Not that you should remove your contributions or anything; it's just something to be aware of. -- Ken_g6 (factors &#124; composites) 20:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Because I have noticed you commenting at the current RfC regarding Pending Changes, I wanted to invite you to the IRC channel for pending changes.

File:Windows_XP_Activation_Wizard.png and File:Xpactivation.png
I reverted your edit to File:Windows_XP_Activation_Wizard.png, because I think the resolution of the image File:Windows_XP_Activation_Wizard.png is permissible, given relatively high-resolution images like this, which are also non-free. Your image (the one I replaced) File:Xpactivation.png is so low-resolution the text is virtually impossible to read.--Michael Kourlastalk – contribs 02:55, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Thermoelectric Cooler Diagram.svg
Hey Ken, thanks for the many valuable contributions. I just have a problem with this image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Thermoelectric_Cooler_Diagram.svg When the positive charges in the p-Layer and the negative charges in the n-Layer drift AWAY from each other then the isolating space-charge region in between them becomes bigger and the circuit is NOT "closed" anymore. I think "Heat source" and "cool side" must swich places and all arrows must be turned around otherwise no current can flow. Please let me know if I have a twist in my chain of thoughts.
