 * PS: Your article on Harrison Dimple Jr. is interesting, but it is hard to believe. Can you provide one or more verifiable reference sources please? It's a great story and I hope we can keep it. Cheers,

 * On second thought, it appears to be patent nonsense. -Willmcw 21:36, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

This does not appear to be a photograph of a plaque. There is no frame, no reflection, etc. Instead it looks like an image made on a computer. Another sign of a hoax. Please do not add false material to Wikipedia. -Willmcw 19:53, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Apparently the frame was cropped in an attempt to magnify the text, unfortunately that's all I have. Seems like you have a denial from CSHL, so there's no much point since you won't be convinced. It really is a fine line between folklore and so-called "official record". Purkinje 20:09, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Note that folklore, if labeled as such, is allowed in the encyclopedia. See Paul Bunyan. But all articles, whither on topics of fact or fiction, must be verifiable. There is nothing verifiable about Dimple even as folklore. There's no Snopes entry or Cecil Adams explanation to go to. If Dimple is a new urban/folk legend then he has yet to achieve wide-spread status. Wikipedia is not the way to spread wannabe urban legends.  -Willmcw 23:59, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Maybe the term you are looking for is Nihilartikel, which I suspect you suspect this article is. Purkinje 02:24, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that's exactly the right word. Why did you remove the "photo" of the plaque? -Willmcw 03:45, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

There actually is a real plaque, believe it or not, which I now found out appeared on a wall at CSHL but nobody was sure how it got there. The photo I had, as you pointed out, does not look like a photo, so I was waiting to see if I can find a "worse" pictue, but that actually shows it is a real plaque. Don't you think it all seems to elaborate too be a hoax? Purkinje


 * Complexity is not a test for truthfullness. One glance at the so-called Dimple Extractor makes it evident that this device was never intended to enter the human mouth. The fact that you have created this hoax makes all of your contributions, and the contributions of the accounts which appear to be your sockpuppets, appear to be worthless (even if they arent'). Having established yourself as someone who knowingly adds fraudulent material, it is hard to know when to trust you. -Willmcw 19:37, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Purkinje. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Purkinje~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:14, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 17:48, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
