Welcome!

Hello, Physicsmonk, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place ((helpme)) on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

Please note that removal of an AfD notice from an article (as you did on Afshar experiment) is considered to be a violation of WP policy, which can lead to sanctions. You can always vote to keep the article, and cite reasons for your vote.

Based on your nickname, you might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics. -- linas 18:30, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Based on this edit, [1], it apears that you are either a sockpuppet of User:Afshar or that he is impersonating you. The use of sockpuppets is more or less frowned upon in Wikipedia, and the use of this to cast double votes or make inappropriate edits might get you banned. linas 20:58, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi. Shahriar Afshar is a dear friend of mine and I absolutely support his ideas on Quantum Mechanics. Because I have an academic job at a prominent university in Boston I wish to remain unnamed just in case the controversy surrounding his work affects my job security. I hope you are not bullying me or him into silence. Physicsmonk 21:02, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Point of order. As a minimum of verifiability it seems that any valid vote must be posted from the account that signs it. I can't see how anyone could think otherwise, events in Florida notwithstanding. Thus I say the third vote from the top, signed by physicsmonk but posted by Afshar be struck out (not obliterated) and physicsmonk be allowed to cast a vote from his/her own account. (Then the argument may continue, as desired.) GangofOne 00:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you GangofOne! Please explain what I need to do to clear this sorry mess! Physicsmonk 21:02, 19 December 2005

What I suggest is strike out the complete paragraph of your vote signed by Afshar, which is accomplished by enclosing the text in 's' and angle brakets thusly: <s>text to be struck </s>, which appears as: text to be struck . Then add a comment "vote struck out by Physicsmonk, was not posted by Physicsmonk, see discussion below" Then sign it with four tildes. This will preserve the record. Then cast a vote like the others, either keep or delete followed by your comments and then sign it with four tildes. GangofOne 01:41, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A crackpot is again requesting deletion of the article. [2] Your vote would be appreciated. Prof. Afshar 18:00, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Physicsmonk, I wish to ban Danko Georgiev from Wikipedia for his repeated accusations of Fraud to me regarding my experiment [3] on the talk pages. My experimental results were verified by faculty from Harvard and other schools. I will not allow this idiot to ruin my reputation. He must be repudiated by the Wikipedia community. Any help you can offer in this regard would be appreciated.-- Afshar 06:58, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
