Hi, Geo. Welcome to Wikipedia. Both Jim and I have considerably more experience on the Wiki that it appears that you do; your edits have been limited in the main to time alone. Perhaps you might consider leaving this article for a while and doing some work elsewhere; this would allow you to develop a better understanding of the Wiki. As I have said before, I think you make some valid and interesting points; the problem might well be in the way in which you present them. As it stands, if the edit war continues all that will happen is that time will be locked by the administrators, so that no one can edit it. That would be a shame. Banno 16:54, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Sock Puppetry Accusation

Under the user name 'Geologician' I have been accused by user Terry0051 of sock puppetry in the Discussion pages of subject 'Orbit of the Moon'. Although this accusation is completely without foundation, I am unable to defend myself on the Investigations page because I have been instantly blocked and have been unable to find the email address of Peter Symonds, the blocking authority. Please forward a copy of this to him.

Terry0051, who may be a Wiki review editor, sent the above irate message to my User page when I questioned the accuracy of existing images on the subject page, provided a reasonable alternative for sensible discussion, and criticized his obscure supporting RS whilst providing my alternative classical textbook RS. I replied to his user page pointing this out. Terry0051 places great reliance in support of his beliefs on a cited 1912 paper by Turner in which the mathematical analysis is plain wrong and the concluding sentence is indefensible. Any mathematician will see immediately that Turner's formulas illogically combine moon-based coordinates with sun-based coordinates. (His expressions need 'n' to be replaced with 'n+1' to make any sense.)

I have never heard of my so-called alter ego Saheenjim but have contributed occasional pieces to Wiki over the years with very rare controversy. I am surprised that any Wiki editor would jump to extreme measures of a personal warning and blocking, without taking account of the views of other contributors to the discussion page. Any such review editorial rights held by Terry0051 should be suspended forthwith. Geologician (talk) 11:42, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that Terry0051 edited my talk page to remove the above comment. Yet he accuses me of disruptive comment. I am sure experienced Wiki review editors will sort this out. Geologician (talk) 12:24, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[From Terry0051] The accusation made earlier today by Geologician is false, I did not remove anything from Geologician's talkpage. Geologician appears to have jumped hastily to a false conclusion after clicking on a link which points to the 'diff' that resulted from my message requesting him to adhere to WP guidelines especially in regard to disruptive editing. (Geologician has now deleted that message, along with previous messages on his talk-page, some to related effect). The 'diff' shows the state of the talk page immediately after addition of my request-message: and at that time-point, Geologician had not yet posted the comment which he now says that I deleted. So the reason why Geologician's more recent comment does not form part of the 'diff' is the time-point to which the 'diff' relates, it is not because of any deletion (of which there has been none except by Geologician himself). Terry0051 (talk) 18:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[From Geologician} I assume that the Wiki 'powers that be' will read my ongoing defense of Terry0051's spurious accusation and draw their own conclusions. They have only to consider the timing of Terry0051's posting of the link to my Talk page (19:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)) to realize that Terry0051 deliberately linked to a previous version of my talk page so that my existing post( 11:42, 4 July 2009 (UTC)), refuting his points in detail, would not be seen. I do not believe that this is in the spirit of honest editorship of Wikipedia and am confident that the 'Judges' will find in my favour. If I have raised some controversy in my edits it is because Wiki instructions invite editors to be 'bold'. I am a very experienced scientist and believe in logic and facts when applied to scientific subjects rather than some artificial consensus position that could be more appropriate for philosophical and arts subjects.

Provisional unblock

The Ban Appeal Subcommittee has considered your appeal and decided to provisionally suspend your ban for three months, subject to the following terms:

You edit from one account and one account only;
You abide strictly by sockpuppetry policy;
You accept that your account will be checkusered from time to time to verify compliance;
If the three months pass without incident, the unblock automatically becomes permanent.

As you have now accepted these terms by email, your account has been unblocked. Roger Davies ^talk 10:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Roger. The unblock will obviously vindicate me from Terry0051's accusation of sockpuppetry, so I shall look forward to an apology by that user when it becomes permanent, if not immediately. Geologician (talk) 22:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Or you could assume good faith on the part of Terry0051 and let the matter drop :) Roger Davies ^talk 05:52, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fjard, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rias (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Migmatite, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Solidus (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
