User talk:Kevin Baas/Archive2

Hello. I have posted a question about references at Talk:Fractional paradigm and Talk:Informational difference. You may wish to take a look. If so please respond on the talk pages. Regards, Wile E. Heresiarch 18:21, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)


With regards to the problems you are having with some other users. I am not familier enough with yourself, the others involved, or the issues involved to comment. I'll just point you to this page - Wikipedia:Conflict_resolution which sets out the steps you need to go through in order to resolve conflicts with other users. Normally a friendly word on a talk page is enough "I don't appreciate you calling me a crank, I would like you to apologise" or words to that effect should do the trick. As to the issue of consensus, I usually take 80% as consensus. Sometimes I'll delete a page with a lower ratio, if the circumstances warrent it (i.e. sockpuppets or non-genuine votes). Sometimes I'll not delete a page even if over 80% say delete. I hope this answers all your questions. theresa knott 21:32, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)



Evidently, English is not your mother tongue, so I can forgive you in misunderstanding that "Delete with prejudice" does not refer to you, but to the article. I have spent some time observing your efforts to create articles which lack the barest semblance of connection to current mathematical research, and to be extremely rude to other Wikipedians when they quite reasonably ask for reliable references and sources. What I know of your work tells me that, even if there is some sense to what you posit, it lacks any context with which to connect to contemporary mathematical thought. It therefore constitutes, at best original research, which is explicitly unacceptable here, and at worst, what I will call delusional thought. It therefore has, in my opinion, no place in Wikipedia at this time, if ever. As I said earlier, call us after the Nobel is awarded.

I would request that any further discussion you may wish to carry on be done on the appropriate talk page. I do not welcone you on my own talk page. Denni 04:39, 2004 Apr 9 (UTC)


As you seem unable to separate your ideas from your identity, it may have seemed like I was criticizing your identity, or "self", as we say in the business. Try as I might, I found nothing in my comments which discussed you negatively as an individual, even to an innocuous level such as not brushing your teeth (and I'm sure you do.) Throckmorton and Hilfiger, though, in a paper published by me in 1997, say that "idea" and "self" are related through fractional intellidynamical impulses which emanate first from the self to the idea, and then back to the self, thus creating a a semantological unificationality of dogmatic theses. In other words, ƒ (i,s) ‡ (Ω +> bbb>ddd) Sorry, I had to invent my own symbols to show the universal relevance of this code, and the government is still on my case about all those phonecalls to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Anyway, I inderstand =perfectly= that your ideas are beyond value to Humankind, and will rush up and down the street ensuring that each and every person I talk to =MUST= email Wikipedia this minute and let them know how it is you plan to save this universe from conquest by the aliens, or bad water or something. How about you call me in, oh, three or four weeks? Denni 23:23, 2004 Apr 9 (UTC)

Grow up. Kevin Baas 23:42, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
My user page is not yours to edit. However, I can't stop you, so go ahead and be a troll. Have fun. As far as growing up goes, I'll just point you to a mirror, little boy, and ask how long it's gonna be before they can buy the long pants for you. I didn't ask you to engage in any conversations with me, but if you like flame wars, hey, me too, and nothing smells better than roast troll. Denni
(reply copied from User talk:Dwindrim) Talk pages are append-only. This is a talk page. Restructuring is not appending.
Don't worry about me editing your user page. I have left that alone and will continue to. That is your property. I will, however, feel free to leave you messages on your talk page.
And please stop with the immature comments. If it continues, I will request arbitration. Kevin Baas 00:08, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I have a =swell= idea - I will criticise your articles on the proper article discussion pages, just like they do in Wiki. Then if you have an issue with what I have to say, you will reply there, just like normal Wikipedians do. You will stay out of my talk page. I will stau out of yours. Deal? Denni 00:18, 2004 Apr 10 (UTC)

The first I am already cooperating with. If you make a valid and impartial argument refering to specific content in an article on a talk page, I will respond to it there. If you have something to say to or about me, I will respond to it on your user talk page, as normal wikipedians do. I really don't think other wikipedians are interested in the personal matters of other people.

As to the second part regarding user talk pages, I am all about communication. Kevin Baas 00:30, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Something I learned a long time ago, and which is increasingly apparent is apropos here: "Never argue with a five year old." Say what you want. Revert my talk page until it's twisted into a fractional dimension. Hurl yourself against the wall of rational thought until you take the paint off the bricks. I don't care. Go away. You annoy me and you bore me. I have nothing more to say to you that would not be offensive to both of us. Denni 00:39, 2004 Apr 10 (UTC)
