Your VandalProof Application
Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Markisgreen. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof.

Bill, the Galactic Hero
Hey Markisgreen, if you will look at the talk page, you will see that the material is allegedly stolen from the book jackets, and that it can also be found word-for-word at Amazon.com. If I am not mistaken, that is a copyright violation, and therefore in conflict with Wikipedia policy regarding the same. Hope that helps. --Milton 02:17, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Not a problem, glad I could clear that up. Thank you for your quick action after such a large deletion. --Milton
Well, I absolutely have to say I'm quite flattered to be included in your list of admired users! To what do I owe the distinction? --Milton 05:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well I'm still not sure what exactly you're talking about, but I'll take your compliment for what it is, and say thanks again. --Milton 05:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well thanks, that means a lot. Glad to know I'm appreciated by other editors. Thanks also for getting an admin to protect the page - the whole time I was writing, I was wondering how more edits I would have to revert. --Milton 05:30, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Wachovia Vandal
Mr. Wachovia-hater is apparently a sockpuppet who changes IP's. I'm not an admin, so I can't block him, but I've alerted the admins who can. Let him go and we'll revert when he's blocked. It won't be so much fun if he has nothing to work with. Wombatcat 02:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- He's blocked, but he'll be back. The page will probably have to be semi-protected. Wombatcat 02:50, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

209.something something
Good, sage advice - it seems that with all the helpful pages, new users still have trouble getting into the swing of things. Thanks for alerting me to that article, it's a very interesting topic - I haven't been keeping up with Anastasia pretenders since the 1999 DNA testing - it's a sad story. Anyway, thanks again. --Milton 06:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Sommerfeld
Thanks for inviting my commentary.
From what I know of the totality of Sommerfeld’s life, he was not an anti-Semite. To make the stretch that Sommerfeld’s comment in a personal letter to Lorentz, as quoted by Isaacson, allows one to label Sommerfeld an anti-Semite is grossly unfair and a distortion of Sommerfeld’s life.
It is impossible to prove a negative, so, I would ask is there any consistent and pervasive evidence that Sommerfeld was anti-Semitic?
Sommerfeld had a number of Jewish students, including Hans Bethe, Paul Epstein, and Ludwig Hopf. Hopf was one of Sommerfeld’s early students after Sommerfeld was appointed to the University of Munich in 1906. Hopf received his doctorate under Sommerfeld in 1909, so Hopf was a student contemporary with Sommerfeld’s letter to Lorentz. I also note that the anti-Semites labeled Sommerfeld in the press a “white Jew”. Alan D. Beyerchen, in Scientists Under Hitler: Politics and the Physics Community in the Third Reich, has extensive commentary on the Aryan physics campaign.

Sommerfeld II
You are welcome.
From reading about the history of German physics during the period from 1900 to 1950, I have the following impressions:
1. There was a fair amount of anti-Semitism both before and after World War I. In the academic community, this resulted in a greater distribution of Jews in theoretical physics, rather than experimental physics, since experimental physics was considered, at least into the early 1900s, as the lesser of the two professions. (See, for example, “Intellectual Master of Nature: Theoretical Physics from Ohm to Einstein. Volume 2. The Now Mighty Theoretical Physics 1870-1925”, by Christa Jungnickel and Russel McCormmach.)
2. Anti-Semitism appears to have been considered to be in the realm of politics, rather than a morality or ethical issue.
3. In Germany, in academia, in the early 1900s, there was an awareness of who was and was not Jewish. “Perceived” Jewish traits or attributes were often commented on by those in academia.
Allow me to make two comments on the side:
1. Werner Heisenberg has stated that Sommerfeld, in his seminars, read to his class the letters he got from Einstein.
2. When Nazi policies in early 1933 drove many Jews out of Germany academia, a great portion of them were in physics. Many of them went to the United States and ended up in the US Manhattan Project. See, for example, Footnote 46 in Max Born.
Finally, I would be interested in any reply by Isaacson on Sommerfeld’s comment in the letter to Lorentz., should you feel inclined to share it with me.

Robert Frenay and Pulse
Robert Frenay (1946- ) is an author and lecturer who describes and advocates a green or ecologically conscious approach to technological development and development of human civilization. He was formerly a contribuing editor to Audubon magazine. He covered developments in nature and technology for the magazine. Frenay left his editing position at Audubon to work on his first book, Pulse: The Coming Age of Systems and Machines Inspired by Living Things. The book was published in 2006. Frenay also maintains a website where the entire text of his book is available for free online along with links to the original sources in the text, relevant websites and frequent posts from the author and others regarding the various subjects of the book: environmentalism, anti-corporatism, green machine mentality, ecology, environmental thinking, etc. It is an innovative way to present a book and ideas for modern consumers of information (a new way to deliver content to readers).
Frenay lives in the state of New York dividing his time between New York City and upstate.
Early Career
Frenay began his professional life as an artist and photographer, an architectural draftsman and graphic designer. After spending some time as a jazz critic, jazz magazine publisher and jazz event coordinator, Frenay went to work for various periodicals doing article research. He ended up as a feature writer and contributing editor at Audubon magazine after heading up an effort to raise money and acquire property for a green community plan in upstate New York.
Publications
Pulse: The Coming Age of Systems and Machines Inspired by Living Things New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2006
Frenay seeks to convey a history of technological development through a machine age into a period that is just beginning which he regards as a new biological age of technology in which computer memory will be based on DNA, computer software will work according to the logic of human emotions, human systems and human inventions will meld into a new biology based relationship. His book advocates recycling of all waste, greater control of corporations to prevent pollution and waste, government support of environment-based technology development. His view is a positive vision of future industrial, military, agricultural and commercial technological developments. While the basis of his book is a single idea, he reflects that idea throughout history, cultural philosophy, technological change and invention as he "charts the shift from machines to biology bolstered by computers: a type of 'new biology' in which human systems and machines meld to form new possibilities".[3]
On his website, Frenay writes "PULSE is a book of ideas, a philosophy disguised as pop science. While it offers gee-whiz stories about cutting-edge technology, these stories are also meant as parables. Like Aesop’s fables, they aim to illustrate something more—in this case the core dynamics of how living systems work".[4]
