Notice of Fringe Theories Noticeboard discussion

Hello, Endlessdaysagain. This message is being sent to inform you that a discussion is taking place at Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Personal attacks

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Rhoark (talk) 12:01, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Rhoark. However, these people have taken to trying to control history. And they are the reason that no real journalists can use wikipedia anymore. David Gerard and his supporters are socialist transhumanists and they are editing Libertarian transhumanist Zoltan Istvan's page as well as the transhumanist politics page--and also putting it on lock down so others can't edit it (and they've been doing this for over a year). That's totally undoes the process here on wikipedia. All I want is more people editing the pages and doing some real research. There are the same people that deleted the 3 laws of transhumanism page. And now they stick it as part of zoltan's campaign--which is it NOT at all his platform. Zoltan's page was more accurate (thuogh still inaccurate) before people started manipulating it in the last few weeks. It's a shame what goes on at Wikipedia in some cases like Zoltans page.

Whether or not any of that is true, those kinds of allegations make it less likely rather than more likely that you will be able to effect any changes on the article. Again, comment on content, not contributors. Rhoark (talk) 13:23, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

• Endlessdaysagain, I'd like to offer you a couple of pointers. First, you should always end comments to talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will add your signature, which contains a link to your user page and the date and time of your comment. This helps us follow the conversation better. Second, if you feel that the article is inaccurate, you simply need to find reliable sources that support the changes you wish to make. If there are other reliable sources disagreeing, then the article will need to reflect that, such as by saying "While source X say Y, source Z says U and source N says A." If you cannot find reliable sources for the content you wish to insert, then I'm afraid it's not going to get into the article. Finally, you should be very careful about how you argue here. It is Wikipedia's strictly enforced policy that we comment on content, not on contributors. It's fine to say that someone is wrong, so long as you can make a convincing argument that they are. What's not fine is saying that a certain group of editors is responsible for 'ruining' Wikipedia, or an article, or to speculate about what it is about them that makes them wrong. Furthermore, when you say things like "A team is gathering to correct all the lies and manipulation..." you are first accusing a number of other editors of deliberately inserting falsehoods, which is not acceptable here. You also appear to be implying that you have been canvassing for editors who agree with you to artificially add the weight of numbers to your argument. Both of those things can end up with you being blocked from editing, or topic banned from editing certain articles. While we appreciate your passion for this subject, editing Wikipedia is something that should be done dispassionately. This is not the youtube comment section, where people are free to express whatever thoughts they have, nor is it a forum, where people are encouraged to discuss, argue and debate. This is an encyclopedia, and as such, we require a much higher standard of conduct that most of the internet. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page (simply click on the part of my signature that says "tell me all about it" and post your questions there). MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 13:45, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Dear Rhoark, I appreciate the things you said. But the editor David Gerard put the page on lockdown for me as soon as I began to try to edit. And YES, that editor and others are making deliberate falsehoods and creating deliberate misleading information. They've been doing it for about 2 years. I don't say this as someone who is passionate about the subject, but as part of a team with world class journalists on it who are also examining the issues and who would be fired if they ever wrote something like Zoltan's wikipedia page (it's quite inaccurate and maniulated). Wikipedia is not FOX news with it's own agenda. This a public encyclopedia that strives for objectivity. I implore you to look into this--to look into the history. People like David Gerard are manipulating a number of transhumanisim pages, specifically those that contain information on Zoltan. They are purposely fightig tooth and nail for every sentence for over a year so it contains their angles or it doesn't contain the information at all. If you want to solve the problem, please edit the pages in question. That's all I ask. If you did, you'd know Zoltan is known much more than a journalist and transhumanist. He's an activist. He's a businessman, with multiple businesses. He's a best selling author. He's a famed adventuror. And He would never endorse the 3 laws of transhumanism in his campaign. He wasn't just an "online" reporter for Nat Geo (he was on camera tv). And you wounldn't be quoting some stanford journal of bachelor degree students--some blog they put up. Also, Zoltan's written for a dozen other major places. His speeches have been at the World Bank and giving keynotes at mega Financial Times coferences. And the campaign section of the site is a joke. It's not just out of date, it's deliberately made to seem like it's not a real campaign--when theirs 2 years of major media reporting on it. Maybe 500 "major media" stories have come out (and probably 5000 altogether) in the last 2 years that talk about his campaign. You don't seem to understand what you wrote above in your note. The reporting on Zoltan's page is atrocious--deliberately designed to minimize Zoltan's impact. And that's how David Gerard and others work against Zoltan and try to rewrite history. I implore you to take a few hours and go in and correct all the info. Zoltan's campaign has been historic, which why it's so often in the media. The Immortality Bus should have it's own wikipedia page (dozens of mainstream media covered it's 4 month trip--there were always embedded journalists on it). And the 3 laws of transhumanism should also have their own page, as they used to before it was deleted by angry transhumanists who didn't want their movement affected. Well guess what, it's a part of history and Zoltan's book is now the most influetial book in the movement (or aleast one of the top three). That's just the way it is. If anyone doubts any of this, just go google major media for it. It's all there for people to see. I'm telling you again, various pages that Zoltan is a part of are being manipulated by various wikipedia editors trying to push their angle on the transhumanist movement. We need to get that all corrected--and not by transhumanists or interested parties, but by wikipedia editors with no bias. Thanks! EndlessDaysAgain

If you want any of that in the article, you need to:

1. Stop worrying about David Gerard
2. Find reliable sources to back you up. Rhoark (talk) 03:03, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Rhoark (talk) 03:03, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

It's not David Gerard, it's the entire older or socialist transhumanist crowd that built these pages. Because you see, transhumanism until Zoltan arrived 3 years ago was controlled by the elder academics, but now it's being moved forward by youth and people like Zoltan who are activists and media people. Unfortunately, most those youth are not on wikipedia, as it's not part of their social media approach. They are more involved with major media, which is why, for example, Zoltan does potentially 50X the traffic or IEET or Humanity Plus these days. Again, this is now fact, 1 and 2 years later. The reality is that the wikipedia has a deperate authoritarian problem--on issues like transhumanism that aren't that frequently edited, the pages can't be trusted to be objective. That's why journalists don't use wikipedia. It's not reliable. YOU, WIKIPEDIA, NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. Not the people. You need to find a way to keep the trolls from dominating democracy with their biases. You need to find a way to have quality wikipedia editors. As long as journalists don't trust your content, you'll never be more than the National Enquirer of Crowdsourced content--a glorified tabloid of the public.

I suggest you take the hours to fix the pages at stake in an objective manner. Thanks. EndlessDaysAgain

Copypasting on talk pages

Please don't create multiple copies of the same content on talk pages, as you did at Talk:Transhumanism, especially other people's comments. It's far, far too confusing, and it makes it too difficult to keep track of and respond to. If you've done this with multiple pages, please self revert. If absolutely necessary, post a link to the other talk page or talk page section with a brief explanation, but it must be limited to avoid canvassing. Splitting content like that is simply not going to work, and doing that repeatedly may be seen as disruptive. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 05:43, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
