Thanks for compiling this list. I just want to point out that this is solely based on contributions verifiable on-wiki. It does not take into the account of off-wiki activities (e.g. Kelee Pacion has been arranging for meetings well into May 2022 and Jack Nunn voiced his opinion of an article in the mailing list in August 2022, yet their contributions based from on-wiki history would not reveal this aspect). OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:18, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

That's a good and valid point! I've only attended one or maybe two meetings away from Wikiversity but I do appreciate the efforts those attending these meetings have been making! I've kept Kelee and Jack as active participants even though there are few Wikiversity edits toward WikiJournals. If there are any I've listed as inactive that also are active such as at these meetings feel free to change them to active. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 01:55, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Here is my review:

Jens Staal presents a nice short overview about the evolution of CARD-CC protein family and the function of these proteins in health and disease. My only comment is that references can be slightly updated (e.g. for CARD11 PMIDs 39743591, 30170123).

Here is an additional critique:

With respect to "CARD-CC family" by Jens Staal,

As far as my knowledge goes this submission is factually correct, but little more than an ennumeration of items, smothered under an avalanche of acronyms (some of which are acronyms of acronyms). If the coiled-coil part of the proteins mediates oligomerization, why are the proteins shown as monomers in Figure 1? I know that the structures in Figure 1 are AlphaFold models taken from AlphaFold-DB, but their helices are too far apart to form coiled coils in the monomeric state. They would form coiled coils if their structure was computed at the correct oligomer state.

Page move

FYI, I moved a page you created to User:Marshallsumter/Linguistics, for reasons stated in the move summary. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 15:32, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

I have been moving more pages of yours to your user space. Some are listed at User:Marshallsumter#Subpages; I suspect that there is a limit, perhaps 200, on the list length. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 10:15, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

I have now overcome the limit by workaround, splitting the listings alphabetically (now the limit is probably per alphabet letter). --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 10:10, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Chargomagnetism

It is perhaps not a good idea for you to use invented term "chargomagnetism" in mainspace landing page Radiation, which I now moved to User:Marshallsumter/Radiation. The page used a wiki voice and did not indicate in any way that it reflects peculiar ideas of its author. Another page that used the invented term is now at User:Marshallsumter/Cosmogony/Laboratory. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:37, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

The ideas are not peculiar. Standard theory on the construction of the universe starts with 3D space, motion resulting in phenomena like electromagnetism with no explanation for the source of charge except yet more subatomic particles. While there is some text missing from Radiation, much of that is in Cosmogony/Laboratory. Again no consensus on these moves. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 18:08, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

The term "chargomagnetism" is only found on your pages, per Google Search. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 05:28, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Wikiversity:Colloquium discussion, proposal to move your pages out of mainspace

For better record: I created Wikiversity:Colloquium#What to do with remaining Marshall Sumter pages, where I have pinged you (and now I am also writing here). You contacted me on the English Wikipedia, where I indicated I prefer to communicate here, in the English Wikiversity.

It seems you are able to edit your user talk page, from the block log. I struggle to find a reason why you should not be able to challenge here (on this user talk page) the action I am proposing in Colloquium and I am willing to provide responses to your inquiries and arguments at least to some extent. To put it in positive form: you can respond here, as far as I am concerned (others may disagree). --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 09:15, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

I read your comments on the Wikiversity:Colloquium. Regarding "Anyone has any input on this?" What sort of input would you like? --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 17:49, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

I guess the obvious question to ask is "Why do you move pages from mainspace to a subspace?" I haven't seen any consensus for this but Guy vandegrift moved all of my pages from the course on Radiation astronomy to user subpages yet again no consensus for this. The course had been up and running with about a hundred students for years. Guy vandegrift moved them because he could not because he should. I am a published (100+ papers) authority on radiation. I am also on the Editorial Board of the WikiJournal of Science. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 18:01, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

"I struggle to find a reason why you should not be able to challenge here (on this user talk page)". Wikipedia is an open forum whereas here I'm blocked for "Repeat use of incapable copyright information". Fairuse and copyright have been separate legal frameworks since 2020 and 2021 when they were specifically separated. As an example, a copyrighted image when used in a thumbnail say on Wikiversity is free of copyright by the legal separation of these two legal concepts in 2020 and 2021. Yet here my fairuse images were all deleted and many of my resources moved to Draft space without consensus. All of my fairuse images were actually free use per USA law! Yet here I'm blocked for following USA law. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 19:55, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

1) As for "What sort of input would you like?": agreement, disagreement, arguments in support, arguments in opposition, alternative course of action, analysis.

2) As for "Why do you move pages from mainspace to a subspace?": I suppose this means, why do I move pages from mainspace to user space (which is not a "subspace", I figure). I do so because I find the pages not mainspace-worthy, not good enough for mainspace.

3) As for "I haven't seen any consensus for this [...]": I take this to mean that there was no consensus for moving your pages to your user space. I thought I saw consensus here: Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion/Archives/16#Main Page "Lectures", January 2018. But reading it again, I am not so sure. At least, there seems to be an explicit vote-like consensus for moving to "Draft namespace" under the head of "Draft namespace" in that discussion. And implementing that means that pages are moved out of mainspace. Since there was a decision that pages can stay in Draft space for max 6 months without being fixed, this amounts to deletion or quasi-deletion-by-moving-to-user-space. Whether there is the intermediate stage of Draft space is not decisive, I think.

4) As for "many of my resources moved to Draft space without consensus": I see consensus in Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion/Archives/16#Main Page "Lectures"; don't you?

--Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 05:23, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

5) As for "The [Radiation Astronomy] course had been up and running with about a hundred students for years." Let's consider this: User:Marshallsumter/Radiation astronomy/Chemicals. Is this what you refer to as "course"? I find the page hard to peruse; it jumps into "NGC 1087 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 80 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Cetus." with no explanation why that is relevant to the topic of chemicals in the context of radiation astronomy. The first table has no caption and does not seem referenced in the text; I struggle to figure out what the table is trying to show. This is an example of what I think are poorly done pages, hard to learn anything from. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 05:31, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

2) Once again your reading skills fall short. "I do so because I find the pages not mainspace-worthy, not good enough for mainspace." is a subjective approach not aligned with a consensus approach. I could conclude the same about any resource you've created. But, such an approach does not improve the resources in mainspace. Neither did Guy vandegrift's moving the course to subspace of my user space. As I've mentioned the course was up and running since about 2014. He was asked by his university to create an introductory course on Astronomy, which he did after perusing my course on Radiation astronomy including quizzes, questions of which he borrowed for his course.

3) This is a vote toward a consensus regarding "Draft" space not any individual's resources.

4) Read it again with my 3) in mind.

5) Radiation astronomy is the name of the course which included some forty lectures (or similar such resources). NGC 1087 is one asterism within which chemicals were detected. Your lack of objectivity is disappointing. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 22:34, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

As for 3): are you saying that while there was consensus for creating Draft space, there was no consensus to move your pages to Draft space? That is to say, are you saying that when Dave Braunschweig moved many of your articles to Draft space, there was no consensus for that? If there was no consensus, why did not anyone object to that move?

As for 5), your response fails to adequately address my concerns.

There is now 6): "Hoax hypothesis: Specifically, the principal investigator (PI) is perpetrating an elaborate (or maybe not so elaborate) hoax on the Wikiversity community by passing off nonsense as real research and fact", from User:Marshallsumter/Dominant group (2)/Proof of concept. I discovered that by reading a discussion in Wikipedia[1]. The more I think about it, the more plausible it seems. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 05:26, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Copyright and fair use

You stated: "Fairuse and copyright have been separate legal frameworks since 2020 and 2021 when they were specifically separated." Sounds dubious. Gemini states that this is incorrect, which matches my understanding of copyright law. From what I understand, fair use is one item in the U.S. copyright law. Which sources support or expand on your statement? --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 05:43, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Check on Wikipedia about fair use. They have listed the cases from 2020 and 2021. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 07:01, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Can you link me to specific serious sources, not Wikipedia? That is not that much work, is it? --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:11, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

What is it about "They have listed the cases from 2020 and 2021." you don't understand? You could always search case law in e.g. Google. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 07:41, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Either you provide a specific substation by means of links to specific pages in serious sources, or I am not willing to burn my attention on your input any longer. I find your attitude not serious enough. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:44, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

(You were blocked by Dave Braunschweig. He provided an explanation here: https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Marshallsumter&oldid=2477727#Ongoing_Violations_of_WMF_Terms_of_Use_and_Wikiversity_EDP. A follow-on is at Wikiversity:Request_custodian_action/Archive/23#User:Marshallsumter, Jan 2023. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 05:56, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Here's what it says "The block was made by ‪Dave Braunschweig‬. The reason given is Repeat use of incapable copyright information." --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 07:44, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

A block log statement as quoted above is merely a brief summary; a more detailed substantiation is in the link I provided above, to your talk page (which you did not archive properly, so I need to link to a historical revision?). --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:48, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Your publishing history and your being an authority

You stated: "I am a published (100+ papers) authority on radiation." Can you provide any substantiation for this? I searched for '"Marshall Sumter" radiation" and that did not help. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:43, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm seriously beginning to question your reading skills. I mentioned I'm on The Editorial Board of the WikiJournal of Science. Have you checked that for my name and used that to search on Google Scholar. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 07:48, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

I am asking about those 100+ papers, not about The Editorial Board of the WikiJournal of Science. If you wish, you may provide a specific link to Google Scholar, for my and the reader's convenience; that should not be that much work and would be a sign of cooperation. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:50, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

I gave it a try, to search for "Marshall Sumter" in Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Marshall+Sumter%22&btnG=. It found 5 pages, not obviously relating to radiation or radiation astronomy. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:04, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Following on the discovery that you indicate to be "Henry A. Hoff", also this search is relevant: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Henry+A.+Hoff%22&btnG=. While this search does yield some articles, none seem relevant to radiation or radiation astronomy? So again, what is a solid substantiation of the statement that you (Marshall Sumter/Henry A. Hoff?) published over 100 papers on radiation? --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 10:06, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

All my papers listed use radiation. Try "HA Hoff". Mine are not the medicine or biology. Those are a cousins. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 22:13, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

You now have the opportunity to substantiate your claim ("I am a published (100+ papers) authority on radiation.") by the means of following: 1) the best link (or multiple links if required) to a search in Google Scholar for your articles on radiation; 2) 5 links to specific papers, to serve as examples. That is not too much work to ask. Otherwise, I and anyone else should dismiss "I am a published (100+ papers) authority on radiation" as unsubstantiated. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 05:13, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

All you have to do is enter "HA Hoff" on Google Scholar and they'll show up. Stop BSing and do it. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 06:41, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I don't have to do anything. I am free to dismiss unsubstantiated statements, especially after a repeated request for substantiation failed. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:02, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I find this whole game of your hinting at things rather than explicitly pointing to them rather disrespectful. But let's play it a little longer. A search for "HA Hoff" yielded this: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=SwuvacgAAAAJ&hl=en. It says it found 86 articles. Are you that person (there is a photo)? Which of these articles are on radiation or radiation astronomy? --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:16, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I have never seen anyone so afraid of the truth as you are. I have searched you and found no publications in refereed journals at all, which explains a lot. Take a look at the article "Exosat" on Wikipedia for starters. Then take a look at "Austenite". --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 07:30, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I am not a published researcher, and I never said I was (that is, the above is a deflection). I received a university rector's award, a statement that I make on wiki with an inline reference to a serious source. The kind of request-for-substantiation work I am doing here can be done by a 12-year-old if properly trained.

Either you will cooperate in providing substantiation or not. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:49, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I already have and you are afraid to check. The reason you refuse to check is that once you do you'll realize I'm an internationally famous scientist and owe me one Hell of an apology. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 07:52, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Based on your long-term problematic pattern of "contribution" to Wikipedia and Wikiversity, as well as your hint published in Wikiversity that someone could be making an elaborate hoax on Wikiversity editors, you (your user account) are now an entity suspected of being unrustworthy. As a result, it is only appropriate to interrogate each and every statement you make, and refuse to accept it without good substantiation. (Actually, it is advisable to interrogate statements even from entities that appear trustworthy.) --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:17, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

(outdent) I asked you to provide 5 (not 20!) links to specific articles. That is not much work. I will try to articulate elsewhere why this method is more proper than me trying to figure out where to look. I think something like Popperian and Lakatosian principles apply here, and that the requests for specific items lead more quickly to falsification/refutation of the analyzed statements, a quicker and more productive defect discovery. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:55, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

As something of an aside, I witnessed how FAA's Designated Engineering Representatives (DER) work, how they raise comments and interact with engineering. That gives me something of an indirect experience, although I never acted as a DER. I don't think the kinds of responses that you have provided so far would be remotely acceptable by DERs or by corporate auditors. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:58, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Your being on editorial board

As for your "I'm on The Editorial Board of the WikiJournal of Science": I checked WikiJournal_of_Science/Editorial_board and do not find your name there; are you there listed under a different name? --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:08, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Okay. In this edit, you changed name Marshall Sumter to Henry A. Hoff, from which I infer that you indicate to be Henry A. Hoff. The name on the page linked about is "Henry Hoff ". Your Wikidata item would be Wikidata:Q99632752, where it says "Wikimedia username Marshallsumter". You also indicate to be Henry A. Hoff on your user page here: User:Marshallsumter. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 09:20, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

The hoax hypothesis

I am now investigating tho hoax hypothesis. I quote: "Hoax hypothesis: Specifically, the principal investigator (PI) is perpetrating an elaborate (or maybe not so elaborate) hoax on the Wikiversity community by passing off nonsense as real research and fact", from User:Marshallsumter/Dominant group/Proof of concept. I discovered that by reading a discussion in Wikipedia[2].

I will try to find out more by reading the Wikipedia discussion more slowly and carefully and thinking about it more. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 05:49, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

That matter was settled years ago with the facts you are so afraid to check. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 07:42, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

My impression (that I am trying to interrogate/question/probe into) is rather that we now have an explanation for the perculiar character of your Wikiversity "contributions", if that's what they should be called (certainly not "lectures"). --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:47, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

By the way, I love Sokal and Boghossian. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:25, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

For the record, I removed " (2)" from a link above, to point to a page after its move. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 06:23, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Your Wikidata entry

I have had a look at your Wikidata entry: Wikidata: Q99632752. You seem to have editing rights in Wikidata. Do you wish to take this opportunity to make any amends in that Wikidata entry? --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:04, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

It's all true. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 07:39, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

So your fields of work include the following? physics, mathematics, geology, materials science, mineralogy, high temperature superconductor, radiation, spectroscopy, surface science, astrophysics, metallurgy, electronics, diffusion, crystallography, polarization, metallography, microanalysis, physical chemistry, pyrometer, crystal growth, alloying, material defect, electrical resistivity, electron microscopy, actinide, ferromagnetism, transmission electron microscope, X-ray spectroscopy, insulator, Electron diffraction, crystal structure, crystal chemistry, doping, casting, optical microscopy, temperature, fracture, phase, calibration, lattice, grain growth, irradiation, surface roughness, superconductivity, fractography, mathematical model, thin film, electric current? Is that accurate? --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 07:44, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Yes it is! --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 08:00, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Interesting. Why is it that a polymath/genius like you is unable to produce a single half-decent article or page in the English Wikiversity? At least one Wikipedia editor called your material "incoherent garbage", for which I struggle to find a refutation. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:03, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

My official resume is over 50 pages long. If you'd search Google scholar you'd see nearly all of my official publications wherein the above knowledge concepts are included. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 08:08, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Is your official resume available online? If not, the statement "My official resume is over 50 pages long" is unverifiable (for me and the readers of this discussion) and therefore I see no other decent option but dismiss it. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:11, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

One of the things I've learned in my almost 80 years is that the hardest thing for me to do is receive objective appreciation from some one like you. All of my articles on Wikiversity were written simply to convey facts about reality. One fact passed on by Elon Musk about Wikipedia is that it's controlled by fascists. Fascists see the universe only from their point of view so to them calling good research "incoherent garbage" is the best compliment they can make. There's no need for you to struggle to find a refutation. Simply search Google Scholar as I've indicated and stop avoiding the truth. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 08:22, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

(outdent) But let us get back to your statement that your resume is long; is that resume online? Do you wish to send the resume to my email, in case you do not want to make it public for some reason? --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:27, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Replies to your idiocy are over. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 08:44, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

As you can see, I am willing to engage you at length, even if you are very uncooperative. Should you change your mind and start providing substantiation, I am still interested. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:47, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Your being a famous scientist

You said "I'm an internationally famous scientist". Maybe so. Can you provide a substantiation of the statement? Like, are there any articles about you? --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:19, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Would not an internationally famous scientist have a Wikipedia page? I see nothing of the sort in Wikidata:Q99632752. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 08:22, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Stop avoiding reality and search Google Scholar using "HA Hoff". An internationally famous scientist who doesn't have or need a PhD doesn't get a Wikipedia page, but I get reviewers from around the world to review articles submitted to the WikiJournal of Science via WikiJournal Preprints. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 08:40, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

The statement of the form "X is a famous scientist" cannot be substantiated by Google Scholar search, I think. It is quite typical even for less famous scientists to have an academic user page; see e.g. https://www.fi.muni.cz/usr/kucera/, one of my teachers from Masaryk University; and he is not internationally famous by any stretch, only doing decent work in his field (Wikidata:Q28859879). But sure enough, someone no longer being employed by a research institution would perhaps no longer have that page. The page could be in Internet Archive. Or there could be other substantiation. But not Google Scholar search alone. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 09:11, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Implied request to remove communication rejected

I have rejected your implied request to remove communication from this talk page, and have locked the talk page. The items on this page are part of an investigation of a possible misconduct/misrepresentation (including possible hoaxing of Wikiversity) and therefore should, by my assessment, not be removed without proper archiving. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 09:35, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I have set the protection length to one day. I reject your option to remove the communication items without archiving. The items can only be archived after a week elapses (unless I change my mind and figure out that the items should simply stay; the page is not too long to require archiving); I will interpret such an archiving as an unwillingness to cooperate in an investigation of a possible misconduct. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 10:08, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
