Hi, Sergey. I made a proposal to merge Gas to liquids, Gas-to-liquids and Methanol to gasoline. You are welcome to discuss. Beagel (talk) 20:10, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Sergey. There is a plan to improve the Synthetic fuel article to the GA level. In this process, there are still several issues, which should be done before renominating this article for GAN. As you have contributed to the article and/or discussion, you may be interested to participate in the discussion about the article improvement. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 07:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --OpenFuture (talk) 19:03, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

For anyone looking at my profile and wondering what is about. This strange person come even here - with supposed attack on him. No attack. I just commented that I no more talk with ultimate trolls. And is not about to talk to this person. Why? if the page is saved - just look yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Useful_work_growth_theory occurance 1 his words "The SEAI paper mention Ayres and Warr and quote them on a completely different topic. It seems to me both SergeyKurdakov and Phmoreno need to understand that quoting Ayres or Warr on one topic is not providing notability for what they say on another topic." there are two problem 1) problem is that SEAI paper http://www.seai.ie/Publications/Statistics_Publications/EPSSU_Publications/Energy_Security_in_Ireland/Energy_Security_in_Ireland_A_Statistical_Overview.pdf quote a paper which solely describes a discussed topic and a curve being provided is solely based on Ayres Warr model and observations. 2) nd problen not only he was wrong, but he implied my low level of intelligence in his reply ( which is not ). Then in the same way he second time referred to presumed by him my low intelligence "You guys seem to have a very hard time understanding that difference." in the same situation - this abusive person is wrong,because a notability, as it is explained in wikipedia rules is not fixed concept, and depends on context. But even if we get that strong interpretation that there is need to have a set of reliable sources ( such as academic publications ( preferably peer reviewed but not necessary) which are further were provided including peer reviewed publications ( which this person would not recognize )). So to stop this self styled 'very important' abusive user he was told that I stop to speak with whom I have reasonable arguments to see as troll. That is - I do not speak with this person as wikipedia has few ways to protect myself from all kinds of self styled abusive gurus. And that after a talk was in fact stopped he tried again to continue here. It will not. and after all still at a time of writing there is a small task to him - to see what references are peer reviewed.SergeyKurdakov (talk) 20:07, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

I have never implied that you had a "low level of intelligence", and I have never in any way styled myself as "very important". Please stop the attacks and untruths and instead engage in constructive discussion as per Wikipedia policy. --OpenFuture (talk) 21:17, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes it was as we say when 'himself broke to the ground stick a knife into own body and did that repeatedly twenty times' so of cause "I attack" and bad and this man someone who keeps an order. I have no problem to live in wikipedia and have no conflicts. Just for no reason. But it is not possible to discuss with the person anyway so I will not. Consider - author of the model calls his many year effort https://sites.google.com/site/benjaminwarr/home "a new theory of economic growth, the Useful Work Growth Theory based on the Ayres-Warr Model" this just implies that many papers coathored by Ayres Warr are all about one topic. Now this was explained to the person to which he responded - it is irrelevant, and then about dozen of times repeated that there is no mentioning of model in references to works by Warr, while references have clear indication - what work by Warr is mentioned and contains the ongoing work around this work on model/theory. Then even word 'model' is presented in several papers ( including peer reviewed ). Did you reader got an explanation? I think that was easy. And it was told to the person and he never even try to hear. How such a behavior is called? It has a common name, sorry. So no need for me to talk with this person, either I explain or not - the outcome I'm bad - he is good and right. And without a talk there is no attack, no problems that he does not see an argument and it is not clear how I could attack him, without talking to him. And of cause, I have a right to say a word when someone attacks me. Again - there was no first attack. The chain was following: a person told, that I'm low level intelligence man ( what ever he claims his intentions, it is not my business, a person should address politely at wikipedia and when not should have a notice), who (about me) cannot track what a content of a link ( the wording as you may see - can be different, and it was chosen the way it was chosen, and because a link IS relevant, it was relevant and is still relevant I also cannot still see what was a meaning?. And the way it was told - is an attack, not by me ). Then I, basing on the claims of person himself that he cannot find outside sources and cannot see how Ayres Warr work is related to model ( and again almost ALL works (esp after the check) by Warr are related to Ayres Warr model - it is just what Warr only does last 10 years - writes on this topic) I joked that if there are problems - then it is not a problem of a model (even without very slight joking it is true - it is not a problem of a model ), then a man again accused myself of 'hard thinking'. So it is not my business, what he tries to present - if he wants a talk - just talk politely, try to figure out what is told by an opponent ( especially if what is told is true), and then if there is a problem left - politely explain. Then there could not be even a problem with me. I cannot see how and for what strange reason I would first attack someone for? So do not try to abuse me. And there would not be reason for any notices. No need to depict me as badly behaving. SergeyKurdakov (talk) 22:07, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Just so you know, trying to repeat the discussion in another place is hardly useful. I warned you of your personal attack. Just don't do it again, and everything will be fine. Continue attacking, and you'll sooner or later find yourself blocked, or even banned. It's as easy as that.

It doesn't matter if you think you are right in the content dispute we are having or not, personal attacks are not allowed.

Discuss the issue, not the editors. It's as simple as that. --OpenFuture (talk) 07:09, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I am here to defend Sergey. I have also been involved with this issue and Sergey is not to blame. I find the other person's behavior atrocious.Phmoreno (talk) 00:33, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

That you find explaining Wikipedia policy "atrocious" is not anything I can do anything about and is also not helping. If my behavior is so horrible, please bring it up on the relevant channels. Personal attacks are not allowed, and is the wrong way of dealing with any issue of Wikipedia. --OpenFuture (talk) 07:09, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

there is funny point above. Which I would like to clarify. About discussion. What is a discussion? A discussion when the nature of argument is politely discussed by involved sides, and accepting arguments of a ground on validity (or rejecting them on this ground), when argument is rejected due to ideology (here:so called minimalism - to delete page at any reason, just for fun) it is not discussion. When one side did not accept arguments ( be they good or not ) there is no discussion. For that reason I do not address to the person anymore - it is just no different that addressing to bot or a tree. SergeyKurdakov (talk) 11:11, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

You are completely correct, except you need to think harder about who it is that is driven by ideology in their editing. --OpenFuture (talk) 11:49, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

and here is another example of addressing to me with my presumed stupidity SergeyKurdakov (talk) 11:53, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

There is absolutely no way that comment can be interpreted as meaning that you are stupid, unless you think it's stupid to be driven by ideology, in which case of course, your comment above was a personal attack on me. Was it? Because if that's how it was intended, I'll take it up on the relevant noticeboards. If it was *not* intended as a personal attack, then I suggest once again that you simply refrain from commenting on editors, and instead concentrate on the comment.

You see, when somebody explains that something you say is incorrect, this is *not* a personal attack. Nobody is claiming that you are stupid here. Absolutely noone. In the same way, it is not an attack on anyone to point out that a paper hasn't been published in a reliable source, or that it doesn't mention a certain topic. None of these things attack anyone. They are statements of fact, not personal attacks.

So please stop commenting on other editors, because it does you exactly no good at all. --OpenFuture (talk) 12:01, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

so the person ignores that any addressing of the kind "think harder" is a reference to mental capabilities and keeps his story rolling SergeyKurdakov (talk) 12:07, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

So encouraging someone to go further implies that the road has ended? That's absurd. I'm beginning to suspect that you are wp:baiting me, so I'm out of here. The warnings stand. Stop attacking me. --OpenFuture (talk) 13:15, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

so the request to be polite,keep to discussing facts and not assault on personal grounds is an absurd SergeyKurdakov (talk) 13:25, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I believe it is time to start keeping a file on certain editors who harass other editors and make false, misleading or derogatory claims about sources. If you get a complaint filed against you, please let me know immediately. I will be doing an investigation to see who else has been affected.Phmoreno (talk) 20:10, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

ok, thanks for offering help. Today had a thought that some sort of reputation system can be put in place. The problem is to properly design, as improperly designed reputation system is itself a source of abuse. But here is a good thing - a guy moved me to find more sources. If he files a complain - I would explain. And as I'm not frequent editor - I would not suffer if I'm 'punished'.SergeyKurdakov (talk) 20:18, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

	Thanks for helping with Golden Billion! Heyallkatehere (talk) 01:39, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

9 months later, still just as diligent. Excellent work! Heyallkatehere (talk) 08:54, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to thank you for helping w the golden billion article a while back, and offer a toast to a dead conspiracy monger Heyallkatehere (talk) 20:24, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

yes, have seen change of Kara-Murza article today, he was part of old soviet nomenclatura (low rank - son of soviet professor and vice director of soviet research institute) and due to this tried to preserve this layer of russian society (due to the fact that in 90s it turned out they were not succesful vs new comers, even when they effectively lobbied rules of game), unfortunately sociological profile shows that most middle rank governors in Russia are from the same layer (directly descendant from soviet nomenclatura), so they will keep pushing different kinds of isolationist stories for quite some time. The change will be due to loss of natural gas/oil sales due to solar panels/battery progress. Nat gas though will be growing for decade more at least due to rise of AI and due to nat gas is most easily scaled in current situation. So it's late 30s when legacy of the guy will start to fade SergeyKurdakov (talk) 21:06, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Othewise, I notice - chat bots (google Gemini AI answers are open in Russia, also Grok) happily cite the page we edited. So, the fight for the truth continues! SergeyKurdakov (talk) 21:23, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

what is not in article, but the sequence of how the theory importance developed is essential. in 90s it was used by very limited circle of new-stalinists (Kara Murza was on the left, but denied any importance of Marxism), the threat from conspiracy was real, but was limited, it was 2005 when Putin decided to pick all nomenclatura forces to build a new autocratic state, so books by Kara Murza started to be shadow-state sponsored (via various funds many really weak authors which stricktly followed desires of Kremlin), his theory went to regular TVs shows and that way the conspiracy theory did not die (as it should and was about to die in early 2000s), since 2019 Putin decided to make the theory the backbone of Russian foreign policy, so it appears in his speeches, speeches of Lavrov and activity of all diplomats. So I'd really be happy to congratulate you when this more important guy bit the dust. Then, because there is no obvious old people with affection to 90s conspiracies, the need for the theory will start to fade, but as I noticed earlier, I think - ultimately it's when all current mechanisms (state uses resource income to bribe old nomenclatura to run the contry as the top leader wants) start to destroy (no much income from gas and oil to bribe and keep everyone in line) then the country will start to look for other stories, besides, even more countries will become relatively rich by that time, so that the idea is really stupied whould be clear even to hardcore conspiracists and it will be really not important. SergeyKurdakov (talk) 22:20, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Consider: Putin promoted different stories, like: 'genetic mutants irradiated with cosmic rays' (short call for them 'passionaries' via Lev Gumilyov pet theory) will save Russia, Dmitry Donskoy (1350 – 1389) fought with the West (historians do not know the fact, Donskoy had relations with Vatican and Poland of the time, nor there was and idea of the West in that time) and per him the tradition is kept to this day (except in real history people from Europe built Moscow Kremlin, first factories. helped Peter 1 westernise Russia, etc). Somehow Putin hid his theories from Yeltsin, but he started to promote them almost immediately after assuming office. my first encounter with marginal then Sergey Kara-Murza works was at popular russian forum in 2004. A man in his 50s appeared from nowhere and started to extensively cite Kara-Murza, Andrey Parshev, etc ( I think he was in first wave of paid online propagandists). Then in 2005 Nashi movement was formed by Kremlin and Sergey Kara-Murza and Andrey Parshev were most prised lecturers to young pro kremlin people. Then all these bizzare ideas started to be transmitted almost daily on TV. So, S Kara-Murza is just pawn in conspiratorial thinking of Russian president. From videos, S Kara Murza was functionally dead 10 years ago, just repeating really simple and stupied phrases on TV. So his death couses not much emotions. The real healing will be only starting when overall conspiratorial, anti progress, anti Western thinking stops in Kremlin. I think it will, AI, progress with batteries and solar panels over time will change calculations of any future rulers of Russia, but it will take time.
