Alopecia/Baldness Merge

Hi, I have read your comments at Talk:Baldness. I have merged the information in the two articles into Baldness; what do you think? The old Alopecia article is at Alopecia/History1. I have made it a candidate for speedy deletion. Brisvegas 02:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I like what you have done - the piece flows very nicely. The only thing I would suggest is that the comments box possibly be moved/better incorporated into the page. There is that one large white space just hanging out there. Other than that well done - I hope this message gets to you although Im not quite sure how sending messages through wikipedia works.

Dental amalgam

Hi Staypuftman. I notice some comments you made on the dental amalgam controversy talk page and Dozenist's talk page and wanted to post a simple reminder to assume good faith and interact civilly when dealing with other editors. I hope you see how accusing another editor of having an agenda against certain information, conspiring to cover up information, and telling the user that "we are going to have a real problem with each other" isn't in the spirit of these policies, especially when I can see no evidence in Dozenist's contributions history that would indicate that he deleted any "source materials" that you posted anywhere. Perhaps it was merely a technical bug? Also, I invite you to take a look at Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy as you continue to grow as an editor. Thanks for your contributions. - Jersyko talk 22:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All I did was post the research online that I have gathered on the talk page - not even putting it on the real page - and your friend deleted it. He not only deleted it but he covered his tracks and deleted the history of it. Dozenist does not have the ability to delete the history of a talk page. Neither do I. In fact, I'm not even sure if Wikipedia adminstrators have this ability (to selectively delete only certain revisions of a talk page). If you feel that he has done something in violation of Wikipedia policy, of course you are free to report the activity. Again, however, I will encourage you to adhere to WP:AGF and WP:Civility. - Jersyko talk 22:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you take a look at this "dif" page, you will see that Dozenist did not delete any of your comments on the talk page. If he had, the deleted comments would appear either (1) in red on the left column, (2) wrapped in yellow, or (3) both. While Dozenist does disagree with you in regard to the safety of amalgams, it does not appear that he has deleted any of your comments. - Jersyko talk 00:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have the time to engage in a huge discussion right now about how the entire dental community and dental research community (including biochemists, physiologists, etc) currently concludes on the safe use of amalgam restoration, but I do want to address a comment you left me on my talk page: "Did you erase the source material I put on the amalgam talk page before anyone could look at it???" I am glad you brought this up because it needs to be clear I have not nor will I erase anything on an amaglam talk page. If I did that by accident, then certainly I would apologize, but I have looked at my contributions and do not see any time when I have done that. Talk pages are free for anyone to talk about their views on the article, and deleting people's viewpoints there is unnecessary, aside from also being very silly. So, unless I am overlooking something, I have not deleted anything on the talk page, and you are more than welcomed to express your thoughts there. - Dozenist talk 00:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The *history* page of a talk page is *not* easily manipulated as you suggest. As I said in my second comment here, I am not aware of anyone, even an administrator, with the power to selectively delete or manipulate a single historical revision of a page in the way you're suggesting. As you can see from the "dif" page, Dozenist's edit merely added material to the page, he deleted nothing. While anyone can edit a page and delete your comments, you would be able to see the deleted comments in the history of the page if they had done so. It appears that you have made a mistake (or possibly there was a technical bug, i suppose), but it is simply untrue that Dozenist deleted any of your comments to the talk page. Your continued insistence otherwise, however, is somewhat troubling. - Jersyko talk 01:08, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While editing an out of date version of a page might remove prior comments from the page, the removed comments would show up in the edit dif. For an example, see this reversion of a different page: notice that while I edited an out of date revision of the page and thus removed the POV addition to the page, the removed comment still shows up in the edit dif and article history, in the left hand column. In contrast, the edit dif you're talking about on the dental amalgam talk page does not show any deleted content in the left hand column, but merely an addition, which shows up in the right hand column. I understand that you have not been editing on Wikipedia for very long, and I'm certainly willing to chalk this up as a misunderstanding, provided that you stop insisting that Dozenist has done something he did not do. - Jersyko talk 01:37, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
