Albert Einstein, early life
Even so, what's the point or relevance? His parents were apostate Jewish, in other words, not Jewish. He went to Catholic School, stongly implying being a catholic. His parents would have been shunned then and that is the only time it was important. You might as well write: His parents were consdiered freaks by the Jewish community, at least to anyone who understands what the statement means. I find it defaming.

Blatant editorializing
DVdm, what specific statement have I made that you consider blatant editorializing? I really have no idea what I did that could be considered blatant editorializing. I said, "The reader should note the equations to be solved are not the equations for a hyperboloid discussed above:". Do you consider this statement to be blatant editorializing? Now the reason I said this is because the discussion of hyperbolas and hyperboloids could easily mislead the reader. RHB100 (talk) 19:09, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Warning
DVdm, this is a warning. You have engaged in vandalism and disruptive behavior. If you continue in this conduct you will be reported and there could be serious administrative action against you. You have accused me of blatant editorializing. I have denied this accusation and you have been unable to show me any instance of where I engaged in the behaviour of which I am accused. You have used this false accusation as an excuse for reverting my post. This false accusation you have made amounts to nothing less than a personal attack on me. You have been warned. RHB100 (talk) 01:17, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- See this reply by user Kendall-K1 on the article talk page. If, after having looked at the MOS-guideline (wp:EDITORIALIZING) and your edit ([1]), you still fail to understand that this is indeed a classic example of editorializing, then I'm afraid I can't help you. - DVdm (talk) 10:05, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RHB100 (talk • contribs) 23:58, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Huggle message
Hey DVdm! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers
I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/
Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.
Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 09:56, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
Reverting notice Engineering Education
Dear DVdm, I'm not expert in wiki but I faced a problem creating the article on "Education studies", which is a research field, because it was redirected to "Engineering Education" as teaching activity. I didn't find another solution to create the page on "Education studies" than removing the "redirect". But into the article on "Education studies", I introduced that in some case "Education studies" means ""Engineering education" and here I introduced a link toward the corresponding page. I hope I did it correctly. But now I see the whole page on "Education studies" disappeared. It was many hours of work to avoid the previous mistaking redirection. I don't know now what to do to not loose this work you deleted. Best, — Preceding unsigned comment added by PinsonV (talk • contribs) 16:01, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
- Please sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.
- I think that user Sam Sailor's suggestion (at User talk:Sam Sailor#Redirect remove) to insert the content in the existing article Engineering education is a good one. Good luck. - DVdm (talk) 20:52, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Reverting PROD removal
I have reverted your reversion of the removal of a {{PROD}} template from Wetted surface. I don't agree with Andrew Davidson (talk · contribs) in his removal of the PROD, but that is a valid action. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:57, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
Proper length
I would be interested in your opinion on the Proper length article. I have moved it around a bit as it seemed to be mainly about the different concept of 'Proper distance'.
I have nothing agains the term 'proper distance' although I do not think that is that widely used or particularly helpful but an article should be mainly about the subject in its title. What do you think? Martin Hogbin (talk) 12:12, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Dark Forest listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Dark Forest. Since you had some involvement with the Dark Forest redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. RJaguar3 | u | t 02:44, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Floating_point:Talk
Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia.
You remove a post in Floating Point discussion because of tone (removal is not allowed especially under response to tone reason, which is considered ill-behaving), keep interpreting my post as "personal attack" (which is misinterpretation and debatable at least but assuming bad faith undoubtedly) and use my talk page to threaten me (with ban) in the end, instead of discussing the substance. You therefore grossly stand up against justice and multiple Wikipedia politeness rules. --Javalenok (talk) 12:24, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- You were warned for this three times now. What you say here, is not acceptable. You will not be able to improve Wikipedia when you call other editors idiots. Continue this, and you will get blocked. - DVdm (talk) 12:27, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- I am responsible for every mine word. You called me to discuss it but it was obvious that you are not discussing anything from very beginning. Your job is to disregard the substance. The guise of politeness/respect is extremely useful here. The phrase, extracted from the context, will undoubtedly make idiots happy that "personal attack" was confirmed. They hear "idiot" or "crap" and immediatly understand everything. Idiots certainly know that there cannot be idiots and crap in real words and, therefore, any use of these words exposes "a personal attack". They cannot distinguish logical inference from from personal attack (ungrounded argument), as normal people. It is really pity that Wikipedia targets such audience, perpetuating the insanity in the World, eventhough the opposite mission is declared. --Javalenok (talk) 12:51, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- If you don't like the way Wikipedia works, you are free to go elsewhere. If you cannot adapt to the way Wikipedia works, you will be forced to go elsewhere. DVdm (talk) 13:34, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- You did right again. Exposing your misbehaviour as mine rejection of Wikipedia idea/rules. Misinterpretation of mine words and demagogy always works. I will go fuck only once you prove that you is the owner of Wikipedia and its rules must be interpreted oppositely to declaration. So far, go fuck yourself. --Javalenok (talk) 09:32, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Real estate in Italy
Real estate in Italy Why should be canceled or must have a consent an article that every nation has? the article still needs to be completed, with numerous art historical references, and current data, sales trends, and many other details. 79.50.122.82 (talk) 17:03, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but this should be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Real estate in Italy, not here. Good luck. - DVdm (talk) 17:06, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Sum of a trigon sequence and acceleration
I received your action item. This is an original work and conclusion. If you need me to publish it elsewhere before submitting it to Wikipedia, then I will need to re-assign copyright privileges to "a reliable publisher"--which means you will need to destroy my submission and advise me that you have done so. Thanks.ContributorPeters (talk) 21:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)ContributorPeters]
- Hi. Wikipedia doesn't work this way. You need to have your work published in mainstream journals and textbooks, and other scholars refer to and use it. See wp:secondary sources and wp:notability. I have left a few interesting pointers on your talk page where you can find out how Wikipedia works. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 09:48, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
March 2015
You stated I did not provide a reason for my edit to Anti-Americanism. That is a lie, I provided an adequate explanation in my edit summary. Kindly do not revert valid edits or incorrectly use warning templates. 82.41.197.51 (talk) 22:47, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Indeed, you gave a reason in your edit summary. My apologies. - DVdm (talk) 22:56, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Number theory, size of a number
One of the most important features of the logarithm function is that it gives the number of digits of a number (counting from zero as the first digit, as is the custom on many mathematic branches).
It is already referenced in the text "to the numbers of decimal digits of x", but need to be explicitly explained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.59.70.167 (talk) 16:29, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- Please sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.
- What you wrote here is wrong. The number of digits in 100 is 3, not 2. Furthermore, what is written in the section Logarithm#Number theory about "to the numbers of decimal digits of x" is not related to what you wrote. By the way, there was an obvious typo in that section, so I corrected it. Further comments should belong on the article talk page Talk:Logarithm. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 08:03, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- You contradict yourself. You wrote "inversely proportional to log(x)" (which is exactly what the referenced equation says: 1/log(x) ) as "inversely proportional to the numbers of decimal digits of x", so YOU are writting that log(x) is exactly what I wrote.
- What I wrote is not wrong, just incomplete.
- If the first digit in a number is counted as zero, which is just a convention, then logarithm gives the number of digits of that number. If you instead take the logarithm in base 2, you get the number of digits necessary to represent that number in binary base.
- The source of your confusion is the difference between number and a scalar. Zero as a number, enumerates the digits.
- A number is not a scalar. It may be a vector, a matrix, or more complex objects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.59.70.167 (talk) 12:48, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- That is why entropy uses logarithm. Entropy is proportional (the proportionality implies some change of base related to the arbitrary unit chosen) to the logarithm of the number of different states which a system may have.
- And that is exactly why Information theory uses logarithm to evaluate the size of the information (thus the number of digits necessary to represent it) with a logarithm function.
- Aside the arithmetic, this is the most important property to understand about logarithm function. It illuminates almost all equations that uses logarithms.186.59.70.167 (talk) 12:02, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- I hope you don't mind my fixing your indentation—see WP:Indentation and WP:Talk page layout.
- As I said, further comments belong on the article talk page Talk:Logarithm—see WP:Talk page guidelines. - DVdm (talk) 16:22, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
Leaving
Hi, I stopped contributing as of August 2014 and now I am definitely leaving Wikipedia. It was always a pleasure to work with you, and I hope you will stay here for a long time, since your contributions are extremely valuable. I hope everything is well with you. --D.H (talk) 13:45, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Likewise entirely—Wikipedia will miss your contributions. I hope all's well with you and yours. Take care and cheers! DVdm (talk) 13:51, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Changing a word doesn't make it true or change the definition...
Variable speed of light First paragraph says all.
Next time use a scientific dictionary and search for "Scientific Theory" also search for the definition of "Scientific Method", "Peer Review" and all data related to what really makes a Scientific Theory valid.--FaustoLG (talk) 13:54, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Note - I have reverted your personal attack on the article talk page. - DVdm (talk) 16:35, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
