Inappropriate edits
[edit]Dear @DLChandler02139,
In the past months, you have edited several articles to add information about what you call the "Tang-Dresselhaus Theory". It's not clear to me if that name is widely accepted or if you made it up yourself, but what is clear is that it is a body of work on a very specific topic related to thermoelectrics. You have also repeatedly inserted this image into a wide range of articles in a very unsuitable manner.
Wikipedia is not a platform for promoting and advocating ideas and theories that you want to make more widely known. I strongly suspect that you have conflicts of interest related with that topic. In addition to the links I included in this message, I invite you to read Wikipedia:Fringe theories and WP:WEIGHT.
Please keep your contribution on the topic of the article. For example, your contribution to the article Satellite added a very narrow idea of solid-state physics in an article about a broad article on man-made orbiting devices. This is much too far related to the topic of the article to be included.
Please refrain from adding any mention to your Tang-Dresselhaus Theory without first asking other contributors if your addition is beneficial, and do not include your photograph unless no better image is available to illustrate the article, and even then, I would recommend against it.
Please don't hesitate to ask, if you have questions, and a belated welcome on wikipedia. ElMagyar (talk) 18:07, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Biased Deleting
[edit]Dear @DLChandler02139,
It seems that the Tang-Dresselhaus Theory is acknowledged and published by American Ceramic Society officially, among other theories, including Hicks-Dresselhaus Theory, Saito-Fujita-Dresselhaus Theory and Rashiba-Dresselhaus Theory, Tang-Dresselhaus Theory.
The wiki user: "ElMagyar" is trying to only disguise every piece of positive information related to Tang. It seems obviously that this user "ElMagyar" is having personal interest conflicts with Tang.
This can be proved from another fact that "ElMagyar" is trying to delete Tang from Dresselhaus' students list. However, based on the database of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tang is Dresselhaus' PhD student who graduated on 2015. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Independentwriter343 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Dear @Independentwriter343:,
- The issue here is not the name, but overinclusion of a narrow topic in a wide range of articles with very tenuous relationships to the added topic.
- Given Mildred Dresselhaus' long career, she certainly had many PhD students. Not all of them ought to be listed on her page. I'd also like to point out that DLChandler02139 removed more notable Deborah Chung's name from the list of Dresselhaus' students and only added the names of two (three?) people through a still cloudy selection process.
- All these behaviors appear to put undue enphasis on someone's work to promote it throughout the platform. Quoting from Wikipedia:Advocacy:
Wikipedia does not indiscriminately collect "true" information, but aims to synthesize such information into an accurate, proportionate representation of the state of human knowledge. Our responsibility is not just to verify material, but to contextualize and weight it appropriately. Insisting on undue prominence for a true but minor or tangential viewpoint is a canonical violation of the neutral point of view.
- Have you read the links included in my first message on this talk page?
