Tom Van Flandern, you may have a
conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's
neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Tom Van Flanderns. Note that the
three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the
three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be
blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a
consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue
dispute resolution. Actually you've broken this and could be blocked, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here. Please don't re-add this again however

Hi Mikevf, I was curious if you felt that the current version of the Tom Van Flandern more or less addressed the issues that you felt were misrepresentations of fact? I'd be happy to have this discussion on the talk page of the article, if you would prefer, but that currently seems to be a venue for unproductive discussion.

Here's a summary of the disagreement (sorry about the length).
A tag has been placed on Wills Primary (Barbados) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb - Me• MyEars• MyMouth- timed 00:02, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Wills Primary (Barbados), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

If you reply, please do wherever you prefer, I watch pages where I post messages. I have had a brief look at the discussions of that article, before engaging with 6324xxxx; I am not keen to get into this dispute, but my administrator position sometimes obliges me to (6324xxxx was reported to WP:AIV). I feel several editors of that article might have COI; this is not an impediment, but a complication. Your disclosure at your user page and at my talk is appreciated (would be great if other editors followed that). My interest in this story is to have high-quality, WP:NPOV on wikipedia, and my concern with 6324xxxx is mostly expressed at their talk page. Regards.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Tom Van Flandern. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tom Van Flandern (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:06, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
You posted a comment about the salon article on your father's discussion page. In it you mention a second article published by another journalist and mention that it should be listed, too. But you do not give a link to that second article, do you have one? I would like to read it. Also, some of the links you have provided to me in the past just take me to sites that require a payment to view the article, or just a bibliography page of an article that is stored (also available for a fee). This may be the only way to see these articles, but it doesn't do anyone any good. You can reply here or on my talk page, I am monitoring them both. thanks Akuvar ( talk) 21:50, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
I appreciate the thanks you gave me on your father's discussion page. It is probably more appropriate to thank me on my talk page rather than in an open discussion. It is appreciated, though, it is a little bit of work keeping the haters at bay. But those of us who remain in the East and don't want to see your father's name dragged through the mud will remain vigilant! Akuvar ( talk) 04:08, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
First, my condolences on the recent decease of your mother.
I would like to point out that the recently discovered Fulton Gap may confirm Dr. Van Flandern's theory of planetary formation and of gravity.
It has been a long time since you have posted on this page, so I don't know if you will be reading this posting.-- Capt. Ciel ( talk) 21:34, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
