Hi David, Please be aware that accusing individuals or groups of editors of WP:OWN, wiki-lawyering, editing with POV etc. and/or labeling them as pro-TM, anti-TM, skeptics etc. [1] is not helpful to progress on Wikipedia and may be in violation of TM ArbCom and/or other Wikipedia policies. If you feel that a particular editor's behavior is in violation of Wikipedia policy then I suggest that you start a thread at WP:AE or WP:ANI as these are the appropriate places for discussions of editor behavior.

A tag has been placed on Beached dolphins, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit
the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Hey David, my name is Alex Colgan and I’m the head writer at Leap Motion. I saw that you made some edits to the Leap Motion page last year, and was wondering whether you'd be interested in helping to expand it.
I’m fully on board with Wikipedia’s contributions guidelines, including those related to conflict of interest. This means that I won’t make any direct edits to the page. Instead, I'd like to suggest changes and contribute references as needed, so that impartial Wikipedians can make contributions that will improve the article while maintaining NPOV ^_^

Why did you either recommend and/or delete the entry for omni channel retailing? I posted to that discussion yesterday and am hoping to get a response, but am new at making suggestions for Wikipedia so am following up on your talk page as well. Thanks.
M2sbdav ( talk) 23:32, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
I have a draft of a new entry for omni channel retailing, sorry for the delay, but have been slammed at work and with family obligations, so I am attaching it here for your review. Let me know your thoughts when convenient.
"Omni channel selling, whether B2B , B2C and/or B2B2C, has emerged in the last few years and is the logical evolution of multichannel selling which emerged ~20+ years ago when eCommerce surfaced in the mid 1990s and mCommerce, Mobile Commerce , a few years later. Multichannel selling is about selling through a variety of sales channels such as point of sale (PoS) in brick & mortar stores, telephone in a contact center, eCommerce, mCommerce, etc.
That being said, these sales channels are generally independent of one another so are not well integrated and as a result rarely provide a consistent customer experience. This is a key point and the primary differentiator between multi and omni channel selling. To keep the peace inside of companies, the eCommerce and mCommerce initiatives were usually kept separate from the traditional brick and mortar and possibly catalog/contact center business environment. This resulted in little, if any, formal integration between the different channels and the customer is usually the one impacted.
Omni channel selling will focus on the customer journey, how they arrive at a buying decision as well as making their purchase. Integrating the sales channels is starting to get more focus from companies as customers now often use more than one channel when making a purchase. For instance, online is heavily utilized to research the buying decision regardless of whether the purchase is made online, in store or through a contact center. Concepts like a 360 degree view of customer activities across sales channels have existed for a while, but its only recently that this is getting emphasized because companies are now realizing they are providing an inconsistent customer experience across sales channels.
And with Amazon and other eTailers delivering a vastly improved customer experience, companies have but no choice to play catch up. The impact of the pure play eTailers can’t be underestimated on the emergence of omni channel retailing because as sales keep migrating online, topping $300+ billion in 2014 in the US , existing companies have to stem the tide and knowing they aren’t going to become eTailers, effectively leveraging all of their sales channels to compete is their path forward.
Consider these scenarios which couldn’t have taken place until just a few years ago: • A customer browses and buys via a website on their lunch break, but rather than have to wait for their purchase to be shipped they pick it up in store as they drive by on their way home from work • A customer browsing on a website adds an article of clothing to their cart, but rather than buy they stop by the store to try the item on to make sure it fits first and as they enter the store their mobile device alerts a representative that they have just entered • A gift is ordered for someone via a contact center and delivered to the recipient where they decided it wasn’t a perfect fit so they went online, printed a return receipt and scheduled a pickup from a parcel company
These are but a few examples intended to highlight how quickly the customer experience and their expectations are changing. While the transition from multi to omni channel selling is just picking up steam, it’s the logical evolution for companies that expect to meet and exceed customer expectations. And given the eCommerce and mCommerce waves have arrived within the last 20 years, companies should expect shorter cycles for new technologies to emerge that can disrupt their business and how they engage with their customers so adapting to these new business models is worth considering."

As I said, I'll give you some feedback on this short article when I have some time. You might do some research and find editors who edit often, for these people will have more time for you than I have available. There are many editors here who edit every day. You can easily evaluate the quality of their edits and find someone who not only knows about editing, but also knows something about marketing as a field of study, which I do not. Best of luck waiting for me or finding someone else, whichever you choose. David Spector ( talk) 01:21, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, I'm usually good about providing feedback, but I'm spending every minute of free time making a new website for NSR, and this is really important to me. I've got to follow priorities. Best of luck. David Spector ( talk) 23:43, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I realize this isn't a question about editing Wikipedia, but I hope maybe you can answer it anyway since you seem to have familiarity with the subject. I'm copying it over from that talk page now:
I hope it's clear what I'm asking. The theory seems to say "particles are guided by the waves". But if the particles and waves stick together, and we're to use this theory to understand anything about where they collectively go, wouldn't the particles have to guide the waves in return? I assume I've made an incorrect assumption about the claims of the theory, but I can't figure out what it is if so. I'd appreciate any help, and no rush. Student298 ( talk) 14:20, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Any confusion is unnecessary, because Bohm deals with the particles in the double slit experiment just like any particle in classical mechanics that is affected by a force. It's that simple. So when a particle enters a slit, it enters just one slit, at some random position and velocity within a range determined by the experiment (apparatus cannot generate precisely accurate particles due to construction crudeness). It is not a wave that enters both slits at once. Once a particle enters the slit, it is guided by force field lines which can actually be visualized by an experiment. They have been published. "Guided" means they are pushed by the field lines and that they push back, according to all three of Newton's laws of motion. This can and has been measured by experiment and found to be consistent (doesn't mean it's proven as a law yet; it's still just an interpretation of QM).
The force field is defined in space and time by the Schrödinger wave function. So in the double-slit experiment, the wave function expresses the constraints due to the geometry of the experiment (two slits and a screen) perfectly (the wave function is not interpreted as the square root of a probability function). Consequently, the particles, even one by one, follow deterministically the trajectory completely specified by the wave function and the two initial conditions listed above. The result is an apparent wave-like probability pattern, even though nothing actually happens by random other than the location and velocity of each particle as it enters a slit.
I hope this clears everything up. David Spector ( talk) 15:16, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
I have just noticed your edit in 2013 asking if these exist. Can you explain your motivation for this comment. Charlesjsharp ( talk) 14:49, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I was wondering if you could look at the Atom article on Simple English Wikipedia. It should be around the level that would be seen in an article like Introduction to quantum mechanics, but articles at that project try to use Basic English. It would be great if you could review the article to see if it's factually correct and reasonably comprehensive.

As I said, I'll give you some feedback on this short article when I have some time. You might do some research and find editors who edit often, for these people will have more time for you than I have available. There are many editors here who edit every day. You can easily evaluate the quality of their edits and find someone who not only knows about editing, but also knows something about marketing as a field of study, which I do not. Best of luck waiting for me or finding someone else, whichever you choose. David Spector ( talk) 01:21, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, I'm usually good about providing feedback, but I'm spending every minute of free time making a new website for NSR, and this is really important to me. I've got to follow priorities. Best of luck. David Spector ( talk) 23:43, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Mr David I was one of the school children who regularly deposited money to PSFS. What happened to our deposits. Are they still gaining interests.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Action at a distance, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Entanglement ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi, I realize this isn't a question about editing Wikipedia, but I hope maybe you can answer it anyway since you seem to have familiarity with the subject. I'm copying it over from that talk page now:
I hope it's clear what I'm asking. The theory seems to say "particles are guided by the waves". But if the particles and waves stick together, and we're to use this theory to understand anything about where they collectively go, wouldn't the particles have to guide the waves in return? I assume I've made an incorrect assumption about the claims of the theory, but I can't figure out what it is if so. I'd appreciate any help, and no rush.

Hi. Any confusion is unnecessary, because Bohm deals with the particles in the double slit experiment just like any particle in classical mechanics that is affected by a force. It's that simple. So when a particle enters a slit, it enters just one slit, at some random position and velocity within a range determined by the experiment (apparatus cannot generate precisely accurate particles due to construction crudeness). It is not a wave that enters both slits at once. Once a particle enters the slit, it is guided by force field lines which can actually be visualized by an experiment. They have been published. "Guided" means they are pushed by the field lines and that they push back, according to all three of Newton's laws of motion. This can and has been measured by experiment and found to be consistent (doesn't mean it's proven as a law yet; it's still just an interpretation of QM).
The force field is defined in space and time by the Schrödinger wave function. So in the double-slit experiment, the wave function expresses the constraints due to the geometry of the experiment (two slits and a screen) perfectly (the wave function is not interpreted as the square root of a probability function). Consequently, the particles, even one by one, follow deterministically the trajectory completely specified by the wave function and the two initial conditions listed above. The result is an apparent wave-like probability pattern, even though nothing actually happens by random other than the location and velocity of each particle as it enters a slit.
I hope this clears everything up. David Spector ( talk) 15:16, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
I have just noticed your edit in 2013 asking if these exist. Can you explain your motivation for this comment. Charlesjsharp ( talk) 14:49, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I was wondering if you could look at the Atom article on Simple English Wikipedia. It should be around the level that would be seen in an article like Introduction to quantum mechanics, but articles at that project try to use Basic English. It would be great if you could review the article to see if it's factually correct and reasonably comprehensive. See simple:Wikipedia:About for more info about that project. — Lights and freedom ( talk ~ contribs) 19:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
You said: I notice that you deleted a good reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sucralose&diff=next&oldid=1118185540 . May I ask why you did that? I'm sure you had a good reason.
Thank you so much for the info. I was just making sure it was okay. You know more about WP editing than I do. David Spector ( talk) 18:01, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm wondering if I could see the text of the many-times deleted page Michael Gervais, please? I'm curious to verify the self-advertising nature of the page.
