Look I'm really sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place as it is not really a personal criticism or a baseless accusation but a request for your help with the changes I attempted to make to an article (which resulted in not only my changes being removed but many other changes which have occurred since today). Any advice would be appreciated. I didn't want to pollute your talk page with the content below but as you seem to really be concerned with the content of the String Transport system page, it helps me rest easier with the knowledge that at least someone else who was generally interested in the subject had read my concerns (and judged them accordingly). Is there anything in it that would be acceptable? Thanks on the beforehand and wishing you the best:

String Transport (also known as SkyWay, Yunitskiy String Transport and Rail Sky Way) refers to a theoretical engineering concept and proposals relating to a transportation system. Although these ideas may well relate to complex freight and passenger services, it has not received more than rudimentary practical application outside of the Russian Federation or Belorussia. When its business model has been proposed it has been widely questioned and never implemented.

The theory involves an ecofriendly system of public transport using prestressed rails with prestressed cables ("strings") and the concrete inside them. It is engineered for both freight and passenger services and has two main types of track structure and rolling stock.

Although there has been testing of this technology, the rudimentary construction in Moscow was considered unsafe and eventually taken apart and The Eco Techno Park facility in Maryina Gorka, Belarus,[1][2] has been blemished by technical faults and accidents. The websites of Skyway Capital refer to different proposals made to possible investors in places like the United Arab Emirates[3][4] but there is little chance that such projects will actually receive commercial realization.

Funding for this project has been implicated in a series of scandals related to financial irregularities and pyramid schemes in places where it has been presented as a complex business model including Lithuania and Belgium. Average people whose money would never be required for investment in international projects of this type are encouraged to invest in complex financial schemes[5] and types of crowdfunding.[6] Public warnings have been issued by the Bank of Lithuania and FSMA on the grounds that promoters attracting investments to SkyWay are not in compliance with their securities regulations.[7][8]

@Zaxander: Thanks for reaching out, you are welcome to post here on my Talk page using the New Section button. The "submit a personal attack" link was my attempt at humor when I was subject to harassment by long-term sockpuppeteers and other abusers, giving them their own place to leave their accusations.

SkyWay raises a lot of red flags for me as well. The technology just doesn't seem practical or coherent, and the funding model is concerning. As a potential investor I would walk away from it. However, Wikipedia articles are built around reliable, independent secondary sources, and our personal analyses and friends' experiences aren't sufficient to label it as a scam. Wikipedia also doesn't debunk or expose things like this, we can only write what has already been said by the secondary sources. We have several official statements from banks and governments regarding the illicit marketing of securities but nobody seems to have done a thorough all-around assessment.

The "string" prestressed rail/cable technology itself has received practically zero coverage outside of Skyway's and Yunitskiy's own websites. It doesn't seem to be a notable concept at all. This means that our article should give little to no weight to it. I'm working to change the focus and name of the article to the company itself, since that's what the sources cover. –dlthewave ☎

@Dlthewave: We're in complete agreement about the role of the Wikipedia to document reliable secondary sources. The extremely worrying problem was that the 'string theory' article was doing the exact opposite for so long. To my credit I'm actually responsible for the changes that resulted in the inclusion of the reference to the FSMA article. Then today I was shocked to discover that not even the 'help update the problematic references' warning was present. So in desperation and not knowing any better how to respond I added a warning at the top of the page informing readers that 'STRING THEORY' was implicated in a financial scam. Fortunately the user DreamLinker promptly changed it back to how it was before the 'help reference' warning disappeared. And it was great to hear confirmed from you that Yunitsky is indeed one and the same thing as the SkyWay business venture. The company director, however, is called Kudryashov and scammers use this ambiguity - the idea of on the one hand a scientific theory and on the other the business investment - to muddy the waters and create confusion. It's genuinely hard to ascertain exactly how the scam works. It's so frightening how effective this is but I suppose it's actually unsurprising how good scammers are at scamming. The only way I could think of solving the problem was to explain this extremely worrying ambiguity. It was either that or create two articles, one on the 'science' and another on the real instances of scamming like the FSMA complaint I mentioned. But this would only have resulted in further opportunities for the scammers to abuse Wikipedia. I was getting really worried so I finally reached out to you (and other users like DreamLinker who seemed concerned) to help me. That was scary because it was very possible that any one of you was a 'sockpuppet' (a new word in my vocabulary as of this evening) or a scammer who'd just ban me from posting anything. I'm now so glad I did. And you have to admit that although Wikipedia shouldn't be there to point out scams, it should provide a safe source of information on the business if it is a documented instance of a scam because, well, people have the right to an objective description of the facts. Your solution is by far the best and hopefully with careful and considered wording potential enquiries will help people make the right choice about investing a lot of their money rather than confusing them. Thanks again for responding so quickly and wishing you the best Zachar Alexander Laskewicz 21:02, 16 February 2019 (UTC)Zaxander.[reply]

@Dlthewave: What are the chances of the article title change actually getting approved? I hope the title is changed and that someone will have the chance to reference the published articles on the danger of the financial scam. I probably should not be the one to do it although I'd be perfectly willing to try if no one else is willing to. I actually wrote the article on the 'minipiano'; it was a difficult process of paring back my verbose writing style and searching really hard for references. And there's another problem I'm going to need your help on. The user Kmarinas86 also responded to my pleading for assistance on dealing with the problematic science. They made me a detailed list of references made available by, you guessed it, Yunitsky. Most of them are by Yunitsky himself which probably renders them worthless and all are taken from his site. But I'm obviously not qualified to comment on the science, besides I can't really read Russian either, especially the scientific vocabulary. Most of the commercial stuff and the market studies seems to be flowery bullshit that has little value. If the name change, however, is not approved OR someone else posts a new article on String Transport, then someone's going to have to check the validity of any of this stuff. Also such an article - even if it is intended to document the science- would have to include perhaps not a warning but at least some information about the connection to the way the project has attempted to attain finances and how it has failed to actually get built anywhere, especially if as you suggested Skyway/SkyWay Capital is indeed Yunitsky inside and out. Do you think this is a valid fear? Take a look at this stuff and let me know what you think. Maybe it's all just bullshit and I've got nothing to worry about.

@Dlthewave: I'm attempting to clean up the article and remove unverifiable references. For example, the following deletion references an article which redirects to the Skyway website and which doesn't actually show which document it's supposed to be. This is the text I removed: "Later, in 2017, the State Railways University in Moscow made another conclusion, which stated that “if the issues of rigidity, reliability, safety and maintainability are properly addressed, this technology can be implemented”, and also “the string rail transport technology is innovative and is of undoubted interest for science, engineering and experimental research." ^[1]" Am I doing the right thing? Surely if this university really said what they claim, they'd be able to provide a more reliable reference?

@Dlthewave: Now I'm afraid that user Kmarinas86 is part of the scam. They spend a lot of time defending the way SkyWay finances itself on the talk page and the flowery language she/he uses reminds me of the attempts of scammers to obfuscate the issues. The caregories at the bottom of the page need to be edited too especially if they're going to change the name of the article as you've suggested. What do you think?Zachar Alexander Laskewicz 13:31, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Zaxander[reply]

In my opinion your removals are justified since the content was not supported by independent sources. If it is reinstated by others, the burden is on them to establish verifiability, and we can challenge any unreliable or self-published sources at Reliable Sources Noticeboard. I have some experience in dealing with editors who violate Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and I will request a block, ban or warning from an administrator if necessary.

It's best to avoid casual discussions or accusations regarding Conflict of Interest. You may directly ask Kmarinas if they have a COI (best to do this at their talk page) or post at Conflict of Interest Noticeboard if you have solid evidence, but do not bring it up in the course of discussion. This can seriously derail the consensus-building process and breed bad blood between editors.

One piece of advice I would offer is to avoid using Talk pages to discuss whether or not this is a scam. We're not here to decide that, and talk pages are for discussing improvements to the article based on reliable sources. The list of sources presented by Kmarinas seems to be an attempt to convince you that the concept is supported by experts, but the burden is on them to add these sources to the article and prove that they are reliable. Happy editing –dlthewave ☎ 17:07, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dlthewave: Oh god now I've gone and accused someone of being involved with a scam. I certainly wouldn't post such an accusation on their page but I suppose I should try not to be flippant about anything I say. Sorry for these intrusive postings but now there is a real problem. Ksmarina86 who's been updating the 'string theory' site is definitely not a disinterested party. He or she is either someone who's hoping to gain money from investments they've made by getting others to invest or knows people who are connected to the ... 'questionable financial management'. And he or she appears to be a recognized scientific contributor to Wikipedia. Here's something a Ksmarina86 posted to the MLM discussion thread I reference on the talk page: kmarinas86 Oct 23rd, 2017 at 5:57 am (Q) "No IPO, can’t sell the shares yet. No marketplace to sell them. Only buy. No price to sell at. It’s a long term investment... [edit here] ...Buy, hold, wait for profitability, then sell or hold to collect dividends when the marketplace for the shares is created a few years from now. Be greatful of the possibility of dividends. Most equities pay meager dividends if at all. Dividends are needed to provide shares with real value. 25% of earnings is quite significant for dividends. Decide for yourself if there is a market for high speed transport and if SkyWay proper will take enough market share to make the equity worth your investment. Always be on top of your financial decisions, and look for companies which have a Blue Ocean Strategy in mind and who openly communicate with the public." I don't know what to do about this as this user has changed the Wikipedia site before, he or she has changed it very recently and they'll do it again. Appreciate your advice. I've gone and got myself involved questioning people who could cause me real problems.Zachar Alexander Laskewicz 17:31, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Zaxander[reply]

@Dlthewave: I need your advice on categories. There's nothing explicity wrong with the categories in the 'SkyWay' article as they stand presently. But the four categories that only refer to the unverifiable transportation technology is blatantly misleading. There are categories for 'Multi-level marketing' and 'Pyramid and Ponzi schemes' as well. We know from the verifiable references that both Yunitsky and all the companies associated with SkyWay use both of these techniques. It seems misleading to me to include a bunch of references to categories that suggest the validity of the transport system without including references to the marketing techniques which are also valid categories. Also, of the existing categories, what in the verifiable references suggests that SkyWay should be associated with 'Sustainable transport'. It seems to me to be relatively unsustainabl, hence it's inability to catch on anywhere. What do you think? Zachar Alexander Laskewicz 20:34, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Zaxander[reply]

@Dlthewave: The changes I made to the two dodgy paragraphs on the Lithuanian scandal were changed back. As the second paragraph didn't make much sense I removed it with the unverliable references. But seeing that it got changed by someone reliable and wanting to do justice to the 4 reliable soures, I read them all and even translated the one in Lithuanian. It's all so complicated you could make a motion picture out of it. I summarized the facts that I could ascertain on DreamLinker's user page. Hardly any of these facts were included in the original text. As such, someone should probably rewrite this section entirely based on this information but I'm now worried I'd make it too complex, and it's officially driven me around the bend. But before starting the readings and the summary I took the unnecessary information out again. Wishing you the best from Belgium. Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 23:48, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dlthewave: Just a small note. For fun I went right back to the beginning and looked at the changes to the article as it developed. It's probably not all that surprising to discover that one of the early contributors was Yunitsky himself. It wouldn't surprise me that the user Kmarinas86 is actually a newer incarnation of the same person. They claim to be an English-only reader. I don't believe this. I'm familiar with Russian the basic syntax of the English is typical for Russian speakers. And I no longer feel so bad about the article being wrong for so long. It actually only became really long and pseudo-scientific a few years ago. Before that it was just a stub. Kind regards from Belgium, –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 19:36, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dlthewave: A new section was added on construction of sites in Moscow and the Belarus. I painstakingly checked the references which were basically maps, uploaded illustrations, contracts and self-promotion. The user who posted them was unsurprisingly Kmarinas86. I encouraged them to make succinct suggestions for changes with links to valid sources justifying their use in the talk page. I emphasized the fact that consensus among users was important. –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 13:24, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dlthewave: I find it a bit embarrassing that my worried posts have taken up comparably so much space on your talk page. Can you move it all to another page? Maybe you could creat one for 'indulgent rambling'. I'm really sorry for this. –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 21:54, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologize, I've collapsed the section so that it doesn't take up quite so much space. I think that you have a lot of insight into what's going on at Skyway and hopefully we can find sufficient sourcing to expand our coverage of their business dealings. –dlthewave ☎ 19:51, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
