Need consensus
[edit]Hello Murraydaw. If you want to add new material to the Aharonov–Bohm effect article, but are encountering resistance, you should wait until a consensus is found in your favor. See WP:Dispute resolution for some of your options. You need to convince the other editors that the 2017 work of Pearle and Rizzi is an important part of the story. Mere publication in a refereed journal does not guarantee inclusion in Wikipedia. You can get the attention of physicists by posting at WT:PHYS. Since you have never posted to any other topic, it would be helpful to know how these papers happened to draw your attention. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:49, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- Dear EdJohnston, Thank you for your post. Please tell me, who are the editors I need to convince? And what's wrong with the reasoning I have already put forward multiple times that have never been substantially challenged? Thank you for your time. Murraydaw (talk) 22:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
- As an administrator, my attention is drawn only by the fact that reverting was going on. If you merely continue to revert, some action will probably be taken. This applies to the other parties as well. One way to stop the reverting is to get agreement -- one side will be able to persuade the other. I still advise that a posting at WT:PHYS is best, to get some advice from people who know quantum electrodynamics. Somebody has observed at Talk:Aharonov–Bohm effect that there are 27,000 papers that mention the Aharonov-Bohm effect and Wikipedia is not going to include all of them. If you are stuck, see WP:Dispute resolution. You have the option of opening a WP:Request for comment which can bring in outsiders. If you choose an RfC I might be able to help set it up.
