[edit]User page
[edit]Hi KMarinas. Would you mind putting the {{userpage}} template at the top of your user page? Your page will appear in a google search, and we're worried that the less computer-literate of our readers may mistake it for an encyclopaedia article. Normally, wikipedia guidelines state that userpages are not for publishing personal essays, however you are an editor in good standing, and the material is both interesting and unoffensive, so there is no reason to delete it if the template is up. Thanks a lot. yandman 08:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Entropy edits
[edit]Hello - can you give a list of your changes and some discussion on the Entropy talk page? I'm quite sure that they will be reverted unless there is some discussion, since the changes are so many and it's a page that is closely watched by a number of people. Thanks - PAR 04:53, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Would you please explain on Talk:Entropy the purpose behind the many edits you have done today and what your last edit comment "(this is where it was dozens of posts ago)" means. Are you suggesting that all recent edits have been worthless? I am far too busy organising a Conference that is on this weekend, but I will get back to look at this article. I will say one thing however. That is that the first para has indeed gone back to being totally unintelligable to the average reader as opposed to being only partly unintelligable. This needs to be addressed. The first para should give the ordinary reader a real idea of what the article is about and perhaps they will then delve deeper. --Bduke 06:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Entropy page restructuring
[edit]Your recent edits to entropy were certainly bold, and while I've no doubt that they were well intentioned, the page has been the subject of much editing and discussion by a number of editors. In cases such as this it is best to fully discuss and document changes: the restructuring is now under consideration at Talk:Entropy#Recent massive edits and it will be great if you can contribute to the discussion and to making this an excellent article. ... dave souza, talk 10:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for providing more citations on Joseph Newman (inventor). Please note that if you cite a source multiple times, you need not repeat all the information in the cite multiple times. That's why we name the ref tags (preferably without spaces in the name). So if you have a citation like this: <ref name="invention">Citation information here, with links and such</ref>, then the next time you need that citation in the article, you need only write out the tag with the name like this: <ref name="invention" /> (note the terminating /> in the tag). -Amatulic 21:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Electric machines
[edit]As the article talk pages should concentrate on discussions central to the improvement of the article, I'll copy our little exchange about electric machines and efficency to your talk page, will briefly comment, and -- if you're interested -- discuss matters more thoroughly later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pjacobi (talk • contribs) 15:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- And just for the record, I (unsurprisingly) sincerely belief that not much new technology will come out of Newman's invention. Even leaving all the contradictions to physics aside, there is a much more pragmatic argument: Any electric motor design which "only" cut backs losses by 50% (going from 90% to 95% efficency) would be of outmost commercial importance. You would be able to go (with bodyguards and lawyers if you prefer) into the development centers of Siemens, EMD, or Bombardier, demonstrate your working prototype and leave as a very rich man.
- --Pjacobi (talk) 01:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- RI^2 = heat losses
- RI*(meters/ohm) = current times distance = current momentum
- Current momentum can be determined by integrating current along the length of wire (with dl as the derivative length). It can be found in the Biot-Savart law.
- To maximize current momentum / heat losses, the following should be maximized:
- RI*(meters/ohm) / RI^2 = (meters/ohm)/I = cross-sectional area of wire / (resistivity * current)
- But current momentum produces the magnetic field, the square of which is proportional to its energy. So to maximize the energy of the magnetic field / heat loss.
- R^2*I^2*(meters/ohm)^2 / RI^2 = R*(meters/ohm)^2 = distance^2/ohm
- Just use a longer wire! I guess the mere acceleration of two opposite charges converts mass into energy, causing electromagnetic radiation. Even the simple movement of a charge can cause a magnetic field, causing acceleration, and therefore radiation! If the wire is so short, that is like shorting the battery (e.g. connecting them in series) and not using the charges to your advantage.Kmarinas86 (talk) 21:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, so I'd like to start by saying that I may more or less completely misunderstand you, but (apart from a very good remark about the mass to energy conversion), your statements look rather heterodox to me. Granted, Newman would have to have found new physics to make his machine work, but I assume we are discussing textbook physics and EE in this side note. Specifically:
- It's not the resistive (heat) losses (or other losses) which bound the electric motor's efficency to 100%. Even using a supraconducting coil and everything you wish, you won't get above 100% -- the counter voltage induced by the rotation will make the input power needed to sustain rotation equal to mechanical work done.
- So is 100% efficiency a moving target? Will simply making your motor smaller, more powerful, lighter, etc. simply increase what the 100%-efficient power would be?Kmarinas86 (talk) 04:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Equal amount of copper will give you motors of equal parameters, only with voltages and currents scaled in different, compensating directions. E.g. both thse setups will give the same magnetic field and motor operation:
- 1 meter of 0,15 mm diameter copper wire (about 1 Ω) at 4 V and 4 A (stall current) and
- 4 meter of 0,075mm diameter copper wire (about 16 Ω) at 16 V and 1 A (stall current)
- But I agree with your guess that the mere acceleration of two opposite charges converts mass into energy. Every time some energy is transported away from a system, the system loses mass according to E=mc² -- in most cases an unmeasurable low amount. Also if you temporarily attach strings to the oppositely charged bodies, you can extract mechanical energy while reducing their distance, exactly that amount of mass will be lost (If we keep the system isolated, its total mass stays the same, e.g when letting the two bodys clonking together, the energy will first be converted to kinectic energy, then to heat, and both contribute to the mass of the system, which in effect stays constant). But in a motor the movement is periodic, so there is nothing in sight which can result in mass loss -- unless some copper atoms are vanishing mysteriously or sort of transmutate into something other than normal copper.
Ouch. Not exactly briefly. Sorry. --Pjacobi (talk) 16:06, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- That's ok.Kmarinas86 (talk) 18:13, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Kmarinas86! You've written a long answer, but used HTML comments to make it invisible? I'm assuming, that you aren't finished with that one. Regarding the other remark: 100% a moving target => Getting 1W mechanical work out of 1W electrical energy is the absolute limiting target using textbook physics and electrical engineering. What is done in the manufacturers' research labs and written about in science and engineering journals is:
- Getting nearer to 100%, reducing the amount of heat that must be carried away which often is the limiting factor at which power a device can be operated
- Reducing size and weight for a specified power and efficency

- LAW 1: Magnetic field produced per current is proportional to the length of the conductor used by all that current.
- LAW 2: Therefore, the magnetic field produced per electrical power is proportional to [length of conductor * current] / [current^2 * resistance], or simply [length of conductor] / [current * resistance].
- Note I said product of current and resistance, not voltage, since doubling current can be done at the same resistance and voltage by putting two batteries in parallel.
- LAW 3: The magnetic field energy produced per copper mass is proportional to the [length of conductor * current]^2 / [length of conductor * area cross-section of conductor]. This can be simplified as current^2 * [length of conductor / area cross-section of conductor].

Wow, what a hell of work you did to do all examples. I'll look at the details soon. But very generally speaking, I'm doubting you are taking the back reaction into account, i.e. the voltage induced by the rotating rotor. It's obviously proportinal to the number of turns. And it's that back reaction, which limit the efficiency to 100% -- the resistive losses only determine how far below 100% we'll end. --Pjacobi (talk) 22:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
In short:
Magnetic field energy per electrical power is proportional to:
- (current * length of wire)^2 / (current*voltage)
- (current * length of wire)^2 / (current^2*resistance)
- (current * length of wire)^2 / (current^2*resistivity*length/area cross section of wire)
- length of wire^2 / (resistivity*length/area cross section of wire)
- length of wire / (resistivity/area cross section of wire)
- length of wire * area cross section of wire / resistivity
- mass of wire / resistivity
Magnetic field energy per mass of wire is proportional to:
- electrical power / resistivity
Magnetic field energy, therefore increases with the electrical power and the mass of the conductor. As such, there is some point at which the energy from the magnetic field exceeds the electrical power. The only way to justify this is to say that the energy comes from the mass of the conductor which is "excited" by electrical current.Kmarinas86 (talk) 20:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I now make the conclusion that all electric motors, not just Newman machines, convert mass into energy beyond that required to produce portable storage of electrical energy * (i.e. batteries). The conversion of mass into energy corresponds to simply the magnetic field that is produced and collapsed, similar to the concept of work done by expanding and contracting gases in a thermodynamic engine. The efficiency of this then would be determined by how much of that energy is usable and extracted by having a mass which interacts with this magnetic field, whether they be permanent magnets or electromagnets.Kmarinas86 (talk) 21:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Doubling the mass of the wire can affect the electrical power depending on how you scale it. If you double its length, the power will be cut in half, while the total magnetic field will stay the same. This results in a energy efficient, but heavy, machine that is not suitable for portable power. This matches the specifications of a Newman machine which is not complemented by other devices.
- If you use wire that has twice the cross-sectional area, you double the current and the magnetic field, quadrupling the power, but halve the life span, which doubles the total magnetic energy produced, but for twice the mass. This results in energy inefficient, and heavy machine that is suitable for portable power. This matches the specifications of large electric motors. These would be suitable for complementing a large Newman machine to power large vehicles.
- Alternatively, you can use batteries that produce higher current (whether by parallel arrangement or greater voltage), which increases the current for a given coil, as well as increasing the total magnetic field per mass. This results in an energy inefficient, but light machine, that is suitable for highly mobile power. This matches the specifications of small electric motors. These would be suitable for complementing a small Newman machine to power small vehicles.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for Campus Ambassadors in Houston
[edit]Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian connected with the University of Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at another Houston school, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.
Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).
If you live in Houston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:26, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. I've come across a number of your internet posts, etc, regarding Mills' theory of classical physics. I share a similar interest, and it appears we are both around the same level of 'technical proficiency' with it. I'd love to discuss it with you sometime, if you're so inclined. My wiki page is

In WP:Requests for arbitration/Pseudoscience, the Arbitration Committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to pseudoscience. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here.
These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.
Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.
You're being notified of this Arbcom case due to your interest in Blacklight Power. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 06:43, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello - as an oversighter I was asked to look over the (now suppressed) edits you made, and personally I think the indefinite block was the right call in this case. You made it fairly clear they considered your course of action necessary in order to defeat someone else entirely in an argument and therefore, while what they were doing could arguably have been seen as a good-faith action, I believe you would not hesitate to repeat the act in future. I would advise you to consider what you have done while they are blocked and appeal the block when you understand that your actions were inappropriate. — foxj 15:04, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Your Signature
[edit]Could I persuade you to use a more conventional signature? You signature in the section above sounds like this to someone using a screen reader for the blind:
siNkarma eight six dash Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia Okie Dokie. Eight six equals one nine plus nine plus one four plus karma equals one nine plus nine plus one four plus talk two two colon three one comma six april two zero one three left paranthesis yoo tee cee right parenthesis.
This has a few problems. First of all, the clever two-line effect makes the "Okie Dokie." come out below the "siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia". Second, your use of numbers, "+" and "=" makes it hard for blind persons to read. Besides being annoyingly long, normally someone using a screen reader hits the "go to the next sentence" key as soon as the see the pattern "name number number colon", knowing that the rest is a normal Wikipedia signature. All those numbers make it hard to tell when the name ends the time begins.
Might I suggest something like this?

Talk:Ruggero Santilli
[edit]I have reverted your restoration of a 'sanitised' version of the IP's antisemitic rant at Talk:Ruggero Santilli. It isn't our job to rewrite material which per WP:NOTFORUM has no legitimate reason to be on a talk page in the first place - and you should note that the IP has already been blocked for posting it. Furthermore, we don't even know if it is Santilli, and allowing such inflammatory material to be posted in his name without verification could well violate WP:BLP policy. I cannot see any possible benefit in encouraging further such behaviour, regardless of who is responsible for the posting. AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:09, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Heat page. Is heat only something transferred?
[edit]Hi, I saw your comment on heat on the heat page.
>>Heat is the thing being transferred. Heat is the quantity of thermal energy responsible for the change of thermal energy of an object. You can think of "heat flow" as the transfer of the transferred entity "heat". So in the context of classical thermodynamics the term "heat flow" is a redundant way of saying "heat".
For some strange reason many modern textbooks are in denial about the classical meaning of heat as described by Kelvin Planck and co. As far as i can see this came about because of the influence of one particular text book writer in America.
Planck treatise on heat was published with its 22nd edition in 1964 with the text clearly saying heat was something in matter.
Wiki for some really strange reason totally refuses to allow the classical view to be correctly described and refuses to allow any explanation as to why the change to the modern version used by some text books is the only allowable version of reality.
I spent months on this a few years back. All of my labouriously created edits to show the classical view of heat were instaneously removed by one editor after i had worked enormously hard to get my changes past other editors who had earlier insisted i was wrong. It is just too weird that something as simple as heat cannot be described on wiki. I am by the way banned on wiki and dont want to get involved again and find i am just wasting my life on these topics.
One thing is for sure these heat discussions will continue forever if Wiki refuses to allow the classical view of heat to be correctly described and refuses to show why the change was made to the current version that wiki insists is the only allowed version. I cannot understand it. Why would anybody behave like this??
Thanks for listening!

Your recent editing history at BlackLight Power shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Bishonen | talk 03:34, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Brilliant Light Power. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

[edit]Regarding your comments and changes to the STRING TRANSPORT page. I've looked at your page and you seem to be a well-recognized Wikipedia contributor on complex matters relating to science. Although I haven't been able to work out any of the actual changes you made you, I'm just hoping you're not connected to the scam. I did see that you mentioned the scam in one of your comments and because you've made observations about the science aspects of this page, I'd really appreciate it if you could include actual references to the validity of the science backing up the STRING TRANSPORT itself as opposed to the dangerous scams which seem inextricably linked to the justification of its funding. It would be great if you could find real scientific references that distance the science of the engineer Yunitsky from the scammers who abuse it because I can't find any sources to justify it myself. If I don't get backup from informed users then the scammers will just change it back again. I can find pages and pages of pseudo-scientific justification or self-referential pages referring to how much money you could make from this scheme but a complete lack of distance between the science and the scam. But if there are real sources which could justify in any real way a distinction between the scammers and the science, this could be made clear in the article structure. The science has to be clearly distinguished from the financial scam with just and real contextualization of the science so that it is not confused with the investment scam. And if they are as connected as I fear - meaning Yunitsky himself is at best indifferent to the abuse of his ideas and at worse profiting from it, then the scientific references need to be either removed or referenced as ONLY the justification for a scam. I know this is asking a lot of you but I'd really appreciate some feedback from an informed source. As far as I can see the engineer has made no observable effort to distance his theory from the criminal scamming. If the scientific information is included it has to be clearly opposed and distinguished so that real readers who get roped in are not duped by the science, whether or not it actually exists. I look forward to your advice and help. The matter is urgent; I know personally people who have lost a lot of money. I found it suspect because it seemed extremely illogical for everyday individuals to provide money to a large-scale public transportation system. Nonetheless they became convinced to hand over large sums of money with the promise of real returns from investment of their hard-earned income in tax-free investments in what they are told is an eco-friendly transportation system. And this is thanks to sources like the Wikipedia article which contains scientific information with references that are both cyclical and self-referential. For non-English speakers this could be extremely misleading even if the reference to the scam is included. Scammers seem to e even changing this language so it sounds less threatening and critical. I look forward to your reply and thanks on the beforehand for your attention.

- Sincerely, talk2siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia 01:39, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Kmarinas86r: Thank you so much for the detailed information and all the references! There are so many. Fortunately I have a rudimentary knowledge of Russian and went to the particularly time consuming trouble of checking every last one. Here is an analysis of their usability to Wikipedia for any article concerning the engineer Yunitsky or his 'String transport' theory.
- Unfortunately all the references to Yunitsky's work by Yunitsky himself are unusable because as you know Wikipedia cannot permit self-referencing. I looked at them anyway. They are very long and complex but they don't have any verifiable research I can check with other sources. The "Ecoterra" work, for example, is just an unpublished typed manuscript. "Ecomir" appears to be a thesis or unpublished manuscript. The 'String Theory on Earth and in Space' mostly concerns highly impractical use of this system in space. In "STS program" Yunitsky includes a list of literature with only his own writings. I could go on and describe the problems with each of these documents but seeing I can't use them anyway it would be a waste of both my time and yours.
- As far as the other works are concerned: I can't use copies of contracts signed with anyone because they don't mean anything. The translation of the 'conclusive statement' which is unreferenced is obviously unusable. To repeat: I checked every last document, especially those in Russian.
- They photocopies of the conclusions are from an unreferenced book. Furthermore, unpublished documents on the market value of something are nothing but misleading and are in case unusable because they have no scientific value. Obviously all applications for any type of funding is for good reasons self-promoting and are therefore meaningless and unusable. Similarly, copies of letters from anywhere in the world (even Perth, Australia) have absolutely no scientific validity in themselves. The stamped copies of academic conclusions are also unusable because they're unpublished sources. Protocols and proposals of any type are self-promoting and are unusable. Stamped documents and contracts are similarly of absolutely no academic value. Any documentation on something's 'investment value' are obviously unusable but completely irrelevant anyway. Minutes of meetings are obviously completely worthless in any academic sense. Reviews of works relating to the "geocosmic" application are unrelated to the subject at hand; it wasn't worth me checking the academic references of these works. For this reason all of the works in the eighties are unfortunately meaningless.
As far as the registration of the patents are concerned. Anyone can apply for a patent. They don't mean anything in and of themselves.
- If you could actually provided me with real published objective commentary from secondary sources then I'd have them translated in detail and analysed. It's a pity the works by Yunitsky can not be used. Otherwise there are contracts, lots of self-promotion, anecdotal letters and unpublished conclusions. The only thing that could be useful would be real academic journals who provide valid commentary. I've looked through every document in Russian, English and French. There is not a single source I can use.
- Thank you however for the time you took to send me this stuff, and please don't hesitate to send me any real published works if and when they are ever brought out. I will analyse them and pass them on for academic assessment for future use in a Wikipedia article. As soon as you do, I'll include analysis is the talk page of any articles and this will eventually get summarized and included in the article. But no more unpublished documentation or anecdotal evidence will be tolerated in any language be it Russian, English or Swahili.
Wishing you the best and thanks again. Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 16:10, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
SkyWay Group discussions
[edit]Thanks for your additions to the 'String transport' site. I'm just worried that you will start an edit war with another user. I've informed a group of users about the application you've made of unverifiable references to self-promoting sources. It will not turn out well. PLEASE stop referencing YouTube films and commons articles with no scientific references. If you want to include a new scientific argument you have to use a third-party source. PLEASE post this source on the talkpage for approval first. I really want there to be verifiable science to update this article in a useful way. But if you start a war with any of the users who remove this unverifiable self-promoting, self-referencing propaganda, I fear you will be banned again. We don't want that to happen as it won't help anyone. –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 10:37, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks so much for cleaning up the reference links to the Italian and Indian articles. Look, we want to learn about the construction/deconstruction of this technology in 2008 in Moscow and the more recent Belarus TechnoPark - and the accident. This is a potentially valid topic. In the talk page you can propose sections by making concise arguments with the use of references. Please keep information succinct and to the point with only links to the articles you propose are valid. The articles will be translated and assessed. But if you want to make changes to the actual article you'll have to have positive assessment from other users who can verify your sources as more than anecdotal or self-promoting. If your sources are valid you'll be able to reference them later without fear of having your improvements removed; consensus among users is the most important thing. But please don't bombard the talk page with information. One good reference is better than a thousand that don't mean anything. Wishing you the best –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 12:58, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
-If you want to make dramatic changes to the structure of the page, please suggest it first on the talk page. Your queries will be listened to. I agree with changing the title to 'regulatory disputes'; it's clearer than 'financial irregularities'. But if you go and change the whole structure of the article you could easily give the impression that intentions are bad faith. You've given no justification for your changes as they are; and on a page whose contents is sensitive, changes can only be done with consensus. -Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 14:45, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Kmarinas86:I see you've put a 'which' reference to the Yunitskiy sentence at the end of the first paragraph of the 'SkyWay Group' article. Another user Britishfinance (talk · contribs) advised me to reference the article that states clearly that 'Yunitskiy' is the founder and owner of the company first in the 'Background' section and then to include a summary of that in the opening paragraph. You can read our discussion of this topic on his talk page. I used the most recent 'Baltic Course' article from February 2019 which involves the court case against the Lithuanian government where Yunitskiy sued them for forcing him to move his project back to Belarus (he lost). Please remove this sentence if you think it's unverified and I'll try to find a better one. I am paying attention to your observations and trying to learn from them. –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 17:00, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- The main issue is that Yunitskiy is the founder of some of, but not all of, the SkyWay Group of Companies. This needs to be better specified. talk2siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia 17:06, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

- It would be really great if you could move this discussion to a separate heading and list concisely the point you are trying to make about the SkyWay disclaimer notes and SkyWay policy. These points need to be made but it would be much more useful if they made sense. At present they are suddenly introduced to argue a deletion request. They are not very informative here because they don't appear to even address the issue of deletion being discussed. This content could be used, however, to influence the content of the article. This would be both useful and interesting. I encourage you to create a new heading specifically addressing this issue as the article is about the SkyWay companies and collecting valid verifiable references on this topic is important. But it has to be clear so other people can contribute to this topic as well.–Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 19:35, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- The main issue is that Yunitskiy is the founder of some of, but not all of, the SkyWay Group of Companies. This needs to be better specified. talk2siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia 17:06, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- I think it would be great if you created a new heading discussing U.N. funding of SkyWay or the concept of funding. If there is this 'Habitat Debate' reference to SkyWay and the U.N., there will undoubtedly be other ones as well that actually relate to either the grant that the U.N. gave to SkyWay or the supposed investment. Since it appears to be true there are certainly enough reasons to gather information about it as it could certainly influence the contents of the article. The Czech SkyWay article (which purports to be a translation of an older 'string transport' article in English) has a specific heading devoted to the subject of the funding of projects. It discusses the U.N. grant, the money Lebed supposedly invested and the creation of the RSW company to self-fund from small investors. Unfortunately it doesn't include any references. –Zachar (talk) 10:28, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
- I'm really sorry but I had to change the text you added to the article. It was only because the 'rolling stock' is not mentioned at all in the 'tut.by' article. It must be mentioned somewhere else - this is a standard phrase to describe this technology and it returns in all sorts of self-published SkyWay promotion. There must therefore also be verified articles which mention this aspect of the technology? If you have a new verified reference that contains information about the EcoFest 2018 event with this technical information, I'd love to see it but you can't change the article without referencing them first. You can check the contents of the article currently quoted in the talk page; English translations of all the Tut.by articles can be checked there. I just read it rhrough again and it doesn't mention the 'truss' system or include any of these extra technical details about the tracks. Please provide valid references before adding technical information to the article because it will only be removed by other users. Also, EcoTechnoPark has not been certified for testing; it is a self-funded demonstration facility that was rejected the Belarusian NSA. They also rejected two applications for official recognition of SkyWay as a scientific organization. Maybe we should rename this section as SkyWay is actually officially untested and uncertified. –Zachar (talk) 13:51, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
- "...which three tracks demonstrated passenger rolling stock: A rigid track made of a truss which was operating a vehicle with a maximum capacity of 48 people, as well as semi-rigid and flexible..." I'm currently checking to find references to the rolling stock, the rigid track with the truss and the semi-rigid track. It must be published somewhere; as soon as I find it in a verified reference I'll return this information to the text, if you haven't already provided the reference and changed it yourself. -Zachar (talk) 14:14, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
- " Я быстро исследовал территорию парка. Всего здесь пока три трассы — одна для тяжелых транспортных юнибусов с максимальной вместимостью 48 человек, вторая, самая скоростная, — для 14-местных юнибусов («маршруток»), еще одна — самая высокая с прогибающимися пролетами — для 6-местных юникаров. " Please note that this is the text from the tut.by reference which says 6-seat and 14-seat vehicles, not passengers. Zachar (talk) 14:39, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
- Well that is a shame because the 14-passenger unibus does not have 14 seats. talk2siNkarma86—Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia 19:07, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
- I believe you and I'll keep an eye out for verified references which mention this. I had to look really hard and translate lots of articles to find this information in a verified source. They are holding a new EcoFest in August 2019. The will undoubtedly permit journalists to attend who will publish updated information about the vehicles and the new tracks they have built since the last EcoFest in 2018. In the meantime, if we find new verified sources that comment on the veicles, we can always change the article. Maybe they displayed these particular 14 passenger vehicles at a trade fair and a verified source comments on now many seats. Was this the vehicle demonstrated at the InnoTrans in 2018? I'll keep looking. I checked through pages and pages of articles for the rolling stock information and I couldn't find anything. This is evidently important and I'd like you to know that it matters to me too that the article is accurate. I love the new photo but I changed the text of one of them because it had inaccurate information in it.

- @Kmarinas86:I see you've put a 'which' reference to the Yunitskiy sentence at the end of the first paragraph of the 'SkyWay Group' article. Another user Britishfinance (talk · contribs) advised me to reference the article that states clearly that 'Yunitskiy' is the founder and owner of the company first in the 'Background' section and then to include a summary of that in the opening paragraph. You can read our discussion of this topic on his talk page. I used the most recent 'Baltic Course' article from February 2019 which involves the court case against the Lithuanian government where Yunitskiy sued them for forcing him to move his project back to Belarus (he lost). Please remove this sentence if you think it's unverified and I'll try to find a better one. I am paying attention to your observations and trying to learn from them. –Zachar Laskewicz (talk) 17:00, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- Did you manage to find anymore information on the United Nations involvement with with SkyWay? –Zachar (talk) 23:36, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
