Speedy deletion of Patric Walker

A tag has been placed on Patric Walker requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ╟─TreasuryTag►contribs─╢ 16:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Contact you?

It was unclear what you meant. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:14, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

You can communicate with another user via the talk page (as you did with me or as I am now doing with you) or through email if the "E-mail this user" link is enabled by the user. "E-mail this user" link is visible in the toolbox to the left of the user page. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:18, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

You sure researched Goethean's edit history to find my "association" with him/her. Anyway I am not an expert about Richard Tarnas so I will not interfere. If in your opinion, the text is inappropriate, raise the issue on article talk and try to form a WP:CONSENSUS between all of you. If all is unsuccessful, ask for an outsider's view, through Wikipedia:Requests for comment and by leaving messages on the wikiprojects involved. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 02:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

IBT Labs

Does this link mirror the article you're referring to with "Amicus Journal, article by Keith Schneider, Winter 1983 edition."?   — C M B J   13:32, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes -- I personally retrieved those articles from Amicus Journal a few years back in preparation for the IBT Labs page. These references were not in the Internet, though I knew they existed. We've reposted them on Planet Waves with consent of Amicus. Funny, I wrote to my research partner Saturday morning determined that we HAD to start this page, and when I checked, you had started it on July 12 if I am correct. So I guess it's time. We have a lot of other articles we can reference, including a great quote from Oui which covered Ted Kennedy's hearings on IBT, and many others which I will now dredge up. Thanks for your help on this piece.Dioxinfreak (talk) 19:10, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Also note, I am the author of the Sierra piece, and I own all rights -- so it's not plagiarism and since it's published by a third party (major media entity as well), is fully vetted and does not qualify as original research. I can do two things: I can put the article into the public domain, or I can rewrite the material so that it does not match the text but is fully attributable. Dioxinfreak (talk) 19:21, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Following up from here, I'll go ahead and take you up on the offer to rewrite the PCB section.   — C M B J   23:34, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

I have some deadlines this week so it will take me into next week, CMJB. I will do my best to write around the "original research" rule; the thing is that the primary source record is quoted two places: In my own collection and in Sierra. So I will do my best to quote Sierra, as the vetted secondary source, and rework the narrative to present it in a fresh way. Note that I donated copies of all the documents used in this story to ERF. Let's see how I do; this is an interesting assignment. Dioxinfreak (talk) 14:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
