__TOC__ __TOC__


== Recommended updates ==
== Improving this BLP article ==


Editor Dough Weller, I have made the following editing:
I see that JZG just deleted my edit without providing any rationale whatsoever. My rationale was simple, improve this article of a biography of a living person by adding the fact that this former Harvard scientist’s book, which allegedly documented potential scientific corruption / abuse of tax payer funds at US universities and physics laboratories, was banned from Harvard area bookstores. It clearly states that in the Harvard Crimson article which has been cited as a valid source on this article for years.
<ref>https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1985/3/20/the-politics-of-science-pbmbost-ameficans/</ref>


1)To prevent discriminations (see, e.g., the article on Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/Roger_Penrose) I have added the title of "Sir" only once at the very top (for documentation, see the "Honors" in the CV , citations being available in numerous independent sources, such as the website of the international conference in Osaka, Japan https://www.scientificfederation.com/chemical-engineering-catalysis/speakers.php , numerous citations available on request);
The only thing I can think of that is more intellectually dishonest than banning a book, is banning the mention of the banned book.


I am reverting the edit I made to the article and I kindly ask anyone who feels the BLP article, about a dissident scientist who claims his work has been suppressed, would not be improved by allowing a cited reference about the actual suppression of his criticism against those he alleges suppressed his work, to make their case here in the talk section before undoing my edit. Thanks. ] (]) 20:17, 5 December 2018 (UTC)DCsghost


2) I have removed the second line "Mainstream scientists dismiss his theories as fringe science." and replaced with "originator of hadronic mechanics and chemistry" because mainstream scientists do not consider "fringe science" a lifelong dedication to the verification of the EPR Argument, and also because the current line is demeaning for the Unites States of America according to countless complaints on record throughout two decades.
----------


3) In the 6th line of Biography I changed
Wow, what a nice welcome to Misplaced Pages.
"a one man organization, the Institute for Basic Research" into "the Institute for Basic Research " because the "one man"
claim is grossly disproved by the main page of the IBR i-b-r(dot)org/ that has been listing for years a division in Israel headed by Prof. P. Mandell, a division in Kazakstan headed by Prof. A. K. Aringazin, and a division in Nigeria headed by Prof. A. O. E . Animalu, while
stating from its inception " The Institute Statute does not allow the disclosure of their names, but their work can be identified by searching the various scientific archives under".
4) The word "Jewish" physicists etc. has been removed everywhere and replaced with "mainstream orthodox" physicists, etc. because: the word "Jewish" it does not exist in Il Grande Grido; Santilli son in law is Jewish; Santilli is known to have supported several Jewish physicists for their participation to meeting; and the recent International Teleconference on Einstein's Determinism (http://eprdebates.org/epr-conference-2020.php) has been organized by Santilli in collaboration with the Family of Israel Foundation (http://www.i-b-r.org/translational-medicine.htm);
5) The entire paragraph starting with "After an explosion..." because Santilli's lawsuit against Frank Israel . contains documentation and testimonials that Magnegas stockholders, including myself, had suffered financial losses because of misrepresentations in Misplaced Pages's article on Santilli suitable for shorting the stock. In fact, the bottles that caused the indicated accidents were delivered by Magnegas Distributors and not by the factory that, as such has been removed by any and all liabilities. In any case, the listing in an article dedicated to a scientist of deaths occurred several years after the scientist left the company is blatantly questionable.
6) I have added information on Thunder Energies Corporation, whose documentation is available in the corporate SEC filings (that I cannot list here due to the prohibition to edit the references), the sale of the public shell and the transfer of the ownership of all technologies to the private company
Hadronic Technologies Corporation for possible applications of the main technologies to National Security.
7) I have removed completely the statement starting with "In 2017 an article...." because of the evident loss of credibility by Misplaced Pages treating equivocal internet gossip in an article that is supposed to be eventually dedicated to the proof of the most important prediction by Einstein.


8) I added the section on Honors from the CV as quoted independently by various sources. We believe it is demeaning for Misplaced Pages not to quote honors received by the scientists who spent his research life to prove that Einstein was right.
(cur | prev) 20:34, 5 December 2018‎ David Eppstein (talk | contribs)‎ . . (17,827 bytes) +526‎ . . (Undid revision 872199123 by DCsghost (talk) continued attempt to remove sourced information, by likely block evader) (undo | thank) Tag: Undo
Within 1 minute user David Eppstein completely ignores my request to discuss any changes on this talk page prior to making an edit, reverts my edit, accuses me of “continued attempts to remove sourced information” and then accuses me of being “block evader”. Which is as totally false and insulting.


9) I added in the section "Selected Publications" the main papers presenting Santilli's claimed verifications of the EPR and I relisted, for their understanding, Santilli's "Elements of Hadronic Mechanics" that were removed by the article for reasons damaging Misplaced Pages because, according to the record under History, said volumes were accepted by t he Ukraine Academy of Science following severe reviews by highly qualified scientists, such as t he late Klimik, Sissakian, and others. I also added
1 – “continued attempt to remove sourced information?”. I deleted an edit (and re-deleted it once) which falsely stated a.) Ermanno Santilli is the CEO of Magnegas Corporation, b.) Carla Santilli is a director and c.) the bit about “the Santilli Family has the ability to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by stockholders of our company” because it is inaccurate information according to recent SEC filings which I would be more than happy to add to the article
mathematical, physical and chemical papers published in refereed journals in which Santilli is not an editor, which papers are essential for the understanding of the apparent EPR verifications.


In closing allow me to recommend that the article be completed wiuth a section entitled "Research" since all visitors are expecting news on Santilli's apparent verifications of the EPR argument, while now there is none. I can draft this section, but I would need access to the References. Thank you.

Agreed. This page needs an unbiased administrative review in the interest of Misplaced Pages standing and its role of information vehicle. It is now evident that nobody has been and is allowed to make changes or additions in order to make a fair representation of the contributions of Prof, Santilli who, at age 87, keeps working and publishing in peer-reviewed journals such as Ratio Mathematica 1)<ref>https://eiris.it/ojs/index.php/ratiomathematica/article/view/477</ref> and Springer Nature Scientific Reports 2) <ref>Sci Rep 12 , 20674 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-24970-4</ref>on subjects that, everybody can see, are vital to science and therefore society .The focus of this Misplaced Pages article is on events presented in negative light only that occurred almost 10 years ago. His recent article published by Nature and his work on the EPR argument point out to new horizons that lead to possible solutions to the crisis of our environment. By looking at the editing history the page, it is evident that nobody has been able to add this information to Prof. Santilli's page because Misplaced Pages remains stubbornly stuck on the defamation campaign fueled years ago by bloggers and stock market profiteers. Misplaced Pages is the loser here. ] (]) 21:59, 23 June 2023 (UTC)Tom Yeager] (])
C) "On November 2, 2018, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) for total consideration of $1 million cash and 5 million shares of the company’s common stock on November 2, 2018. The Series A Preferred was a super-majority voting class of stock that gave complete voting control to its holders. Upon completion of the repurchase, the Company terminated the Series A Preferred class of stock and returned voting control of the Company to its common stock shareholders. Negotiations for the repurchase began in October 2018."

Jytdog’s source for his edit with inaccurate information was from a SEC filing that is over 1 year old. So I deleted the inaccurate information. Do you desire for Misplaced Pages to contain inaccurate information? I certainly hope not so please consider the facts before going in and undoing my edit again.

I am new to Misplaced Pages and I will be bold, and not be bullied. ] (]) 22:01, 5 December 2018 (UTC)DCsghost

::Guy thank for the courtesy of commenting here after reverting my edit and completely ignoring everything I have had to say. As newcomer here, I would really like to understand what <i>“years-long whitewashing attempts by Santilli and his acolytes”</i> has anything whatsoever to do with whether or not Ermmano Santilli is currently the CEO of MagneGas? Answer - nothing. Ermanno is not the CEO of Magnegas as I told you and cited with current SEC flings, Scott Mahoney is the CEO of Magnegas Corporation. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1353487/000149315218015237/form8-k.htm

::You are now responsible for knowingly reverting back false information on Misplaced Pages about a publicly traded company. Your rationale/excuse of “you probably don’t understand FRINGE” makes it clear you are the one that should not be editing Misplaced Pages.
::Please correct the false information you just reposted on[REDACTED] posthaste.

:::: JzG I am really do my best here trying to improve this article. Since you will not allow the article to be improved by removing inaccurate information, like how Ermmano Santilli is the CEO of Magnegas Corporation (again, he is not, and technically the company changed its name to MagneGas Applied Technology Solutions, Inc.) by claiming they are correctly sourced – (which is basically like me saying Ronald Regan is the president of the US because my 1984 Encyclopedia book says so.) I think I have found amicable solution.

:::: I am going to go in and add what the current SEC filings say after the part where the inaccurate information you will not allow to be removed is. It might be clunky but it is the only way (due to obstructions not on my part) the reader will not be subjected to old and now inaccurate information. Please engage in a discussion with me here on the talk page before reverting any of these new edits. Thank you ] (]) 01:22, 7 December 2018 (UTC)DCsghost

== Following Misplaced Pages Guidelines ==


Below is a copy of a talk I have been having with editor David Eppstein (on his talk page). Despite my requests to discuss things here in the article talk section before reverting edits, David continues to deny that request and revert edits.

As quick summary of what transpired and the issue at hand:

Jytdog determined it was relevant to this BLP that readers be informed that the Santilli family had 100% control of the voting matter of MagneGas (The Company) thru a Preferred Class A shares. He also added that Santilli’s wife Carla is a director of the Company and their son is the CEO and their daughter also sits on the board. Nobody had objected to this, including David Eppstein.

'''Here is jytdogs edit that David and JzG won't allow to be removed:'''

''“due to their holdings of preferred stock, "the Santilli Family has the ability to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by stockholders of our company." His wife Carla is a director. Their daughter and Ermanno's sister, Luisa Ingargiola, is a director and was formerly the CFO.”''

Jytdogs information was properly cited but the SEC filings he was using is outdated as Ermanno has since stepped down as CEO, Carla and Lusia resigned from the board, and the controlling Preferred Class A Shares were eliminated on Nov 2nd, 2018 according to current SEC filings.

My take was the whole edit, including mention of the preferred stock should be removed since it is now indisputably inaccurate information.

After removing it, David and JzG kept reverting it. As a work around to make sure the reader was not receiving inaccurate (which is false) information, I came up with what I thought was an amicable solution (first suggested in section below and then ignored) where I leave their edit about the Preferred A control shares intact, but add the accurate information that Preferred A controls shares were eliminated.

'''That is where the talk from David’s page picks up.'''
] (]) 16:34, 7 December 2018 (UTC)DCsghost

David Eppstein I have asked you repeatedly to please discuss the improvements we are working on in the talk page of the ] article before you go and start reverting edits again. Please respect the guidelines of Misplaced Pages and your fellow editors.
The BLP in question stated the subjects son is currently the CEO of the company and that his wife and daughter are both directors and the family controls all voting stock of the company. That is no longer true, meaning it is false. I deleted all of it then you reverted my edit. I reverted your edit and JzG then reverted it back to your edit.

In an attempt to make an amical resolution (as I detailed in talk section of the page I encourage you to visit), since you and JzG insist that inaccurate material information about the stock of publicly traded company remain in public view, I suggested I add the accurate current information from SEC filings which contradicts the inaccurate disinformation. And then you reverted that! asking “are we really here to breathlessly repeat a blow-by-blow description of all their stock shenanigans?” No I first tried to delete all that stock talk and you refused to allow the edit.

I think this is why it is important that you participate in the dialogue on the talk section as I have been requesting before reverting. Please, lets discuss it on the talk page before reverting comments. Thanks] (]) 06:02, 7 December 2018 (UTC)DCsghost
:You are very longwinded and persistent in defending your edits and running down anyone who disagrees with them, but also inaccurate. The part that I reverted most recently, with the edit summary that you quote, had nothing direct to do with which Santillis are currently running the company. It was uninteresting trivia about converting one kind of stock to another, not relevant to a biography of Santilli. —] (]) 06:13, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

::David in this instance I am being persistent in preventing Misplaced Pages from disseminating materially inaccurate (which means false) information about a publicly traded company.

::The explanation you just provided to why you reverted my inclusion of materially relevant (and current, and accurate) information (a change in ownership resulting in a change of control of a publicly traded company is deemed by the United States Securities Commission as material information) was that it ''“had nothing direct to do with which Santillis are currently running the company.”'', when in fact the recent elimination of the super-majority Preferred A shares (previously giving the Santilli family 100% control of all voting matters) has absolutely everything to do with who controls and runs the company.

::If who runs and controls the stock of Magnegas is irrelevant or “trivial” as you now protest, then why did you insist on reverting my previous edit where I removed all mention of the controlling Preferred A series stock, originally added by jytdog, from the article? Something is not adding up here David. Can I ask if you are editing in good faith? ] (]) 15:42, 7 December 2018 (UTC)DCsghost
:Please don't copy and repeat discussions from one page to another. And also, I don't see a lot of justification for including intricate details of the stock manipulations of a related company on Santilli's biography: what do those things have to do with Santilli himself? The company itself, Santilli's connection to it, and its commercialization of Santilli's pseudoscience, are clearly relevant. The day-to-day details of how the company manages its investors, after Santilli has supposedly become detached from it, not so much. —] (]) 17:19, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

::The justification of my edit was the article states the Santilli Family has “the ability to significantly influence all matters requiring approval..” via a preferred stock. I deleted that because that is no longer true. You reverted my edit and accused me of “continued attempts to remove sourced information” adding a false allegation that I was “likely a block evader” (which again I am not, as I am sure you will come to see). So I added the sourced SEC filings which factually represent that the controlling preferred A series stock were eliminated. Meaning control of the company is now with the shareholders and not the Santilli family. This is hardly “day to day detail”. It is a very material event. I wouldn’t argue that the preferred series A elimination need be mentioned in article at all, if it weren’t for the fact that the preferred stock had already been referenced when I got here and you refused to allow it to be removed. David Eppstein, as a newbie here I don’t want to step on any toes, but I am going to ask you again if you have been editing this article in good faith for all these years? ] (]) 01:44, 9 December 2018 (UTC)DCsghost

== Back to the banned book ==

Sorry but not sorry for bringing this up again as I feel that instances where an author’s book was banned are an essential mention for the BLP of that author. In ] case, we have a former Harvard scientist, once under funding by the Department of Energy (a sourced fact previously removed from the article for some reason unknown to me), who published a book alleging suppression of his scientific work. Then his book documenting this alleged suppression is then banned from Harvard area book stores. How does this BLP only include the first part about the book being published and the allegations against Nobel Prizes winning scientists, but then totally glosses over the second part about how it was banned? For any editors new to this talk, the ‘second part’ I am recommending be included about the banning of the book is from the exact same source already used as a ref for the ‘first part’.
The reference I am <ref name=crimson>https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1985/3/20/the-politics-of-science-pbmbost-ameficans/</ref> is an article that appeared in the Harvard Crimson. Here is ending of the article which mentions the ban.


''“It would be easy to dismiss Santilli's claims as the dissatisfied grumblings of a misguided physicist, but his story is too well documented and his charges too serious. While Santilli might have aroused personal opposition in the physics community, the events he relates are too glaring to be attributed to mere personality conflicts. His case is compelling and deserves to be heard--that it has been suppressed so far is undeniable.You may find it difficult to find II Grande Grido in Cambridge. According to the book's publisher, several area bookstores have refused to carry Santilli's book for fear of alienating their Harvard customers. It would be a shame if after all his efforts. Santilli's case were never heard. However, the book can be purchased at the I.B.R. at 98 Prescott St. in Cambridge. If Santilli is right, it is a place a lot more people should be visiting.”'' <ref name=crimson></ref>

Pardon me, but it is almost as if the editors here over the years have intentionally suppressed any fact, no matter how well sourced and/or relevant that might not make Santilli come across like a complete “crackpot”. Does mentioning that his book was banned afford Santilli some credibility to his case?

::So the Harvard Crimson is suddenly not a good source or just not a good source for “this sort of material”? What: ”sort of material” is that? So your case is that the Crimson is a good source of material for the part about a scientist leveling crazy sounding allegations of misconduct against two Noble Laurates, but falls into total unreliability in regards to the really important “sort of material” like whether or not a student can find a particular book in a bookstore around campus?
::And no, we have not agreed “over and over” let alone once on any of this. If someone else agreed with you on this please provide me a link/source. I found an older comment from you on the same topic back then you somehow tried to argue that the reporter must have been in his sophomore at the time of writing (are you implying only juniors and seniors know where the bookstores are?) and thus “should not be taken seriously as a reliable source about a scientific issue?” Nobody agreed with you

::And what scientific issue is that? A bookstore carrying a book or not is NOT a scientific issue by any stretch, particularly because this is BLP which is not some “scientific issue”.

::I will ask you for the 3rd time, have you been editing this article all this time in bad faith?

:::Your suggested text and the student-newspaper story both credit this story to "the publisher", Alpha Publishing of Newtonville MA. As far as I can tell that publisher has only published books by Santilli (there are other Alpha Publishing companies from which it should be distinguished).

Recommended updates

Editor Dough Weller, I have made the following editing:

1)To prevent discriminations (see, e.g., the article on Sir Roger Penrose https://en.wikipedia.org/Roger_Penrose) I have added the title of "Sir" only once at the very top (for documentation, see the "Honors" in the CV , citations being available in numerous independent sources, such as the website of the international conference in Osaka, Japan https://www.scientificfederation.com/chemical-engineering-catalysis/speakers.php , numerous citations available on request);


2) I have removed the second line "Mainstream scientists dismiss his theories as fringe science." and replaced with "originator of hadronic mechanics and chemistry" because mainstream scientists do not consider "fringe science" a lifelong dedication to the verification of the EPR Argument, and also because the current line is demeaning for the Unites States of America according to countless complaints on record throughout two decades.

3) In the 6th line of Biography I changed "a one man organization, the Institute for Basic Research" into "the Institute for Basic Research " because the "one man" 

claim is grossly disproved by the main page of the IBR i-b-r(dot)org/ that has been listing for years a division in Israel headed by Prof. P. Mandell, a division in Kazakstan headed by Prof. A. K. Aringazin, and a division in Nigeria headed by Prof. A. O. E . Animalu, while
stating from its inception " The Institute Statute does not allow the disclosure of their names, but their work can be identified by searching the various scientific archives under". 
4)  The word "Jewish" physicists etc. has been removed everywhere and replaced with "mainstream orthodox" physicists, etc. because: the word "Jewish" it does not exist in Il Grande Grido; Santilli son in law is Jewish; Santilli is known to have supported several Jewish physicists for their participation to  meeting; and the recent International Teleconference on Einstein's Determinism (http://eprdebates.org/epr-conference-2020.php) has been organized by Santilli in collaboration with the Family of Israel Foundation (http://www.i-b-r.org/translational-medicine.htm); 
5) The entire paragraph starting with  "After an explosion..." because Santilli's lawsuit  against Frank Israel . contains documentation and testimonials that Magnegas stockholders, including myself, had suffered financial losses because of misrepresentations in Misplaced Pages's article on Santilli suitable for shorting the stock. In fact, the bottles that caused the indicated accidents were delivered by Magnegas Distributors and not by the factory that, as such has been removed by any and all liabilities. In any case, the listing in an article dedicated to a scientist of deaths  occurred several years after the scientist left the company is blatantly questionable. 
6) I have added  information on Thunder Energies Corporation, whose documentation is available in the corporate SEC filings (that I cannot list here due to the prohibition to edit the references),  the sale of the public shell  and the transfer of the ownership of all technologies to the private company 
Hadronic Technologies Corporation for possible applications of the main technologies to National Security.

7) I have removed completely the statement starting with "In 2017 an article...." because of the evident loss of credibility by Misplaced Pages treating equivocal internet gossip in an article that is supposed to be eventually dedicated to the proof of the most important prediction by Einstein.

8) I added the section on Honors from the CV as quoted independently by various sources. We believe it is demeaning for Misplaced Pages not to quote honors received by the scientists who spent his research life to prove that Einstein was right.

9) I added in the section "Selected Publications" the main papers presenting Santilli's claimed verifications of the EPR and I relisted, for their understanding, Santilli's "Elements of Hadronic Mechanics" that were removed by the article for reasons damaging Misplaced Pages because, according to the record under History, said volumes were accepted by t he Ukraine Academy of Science following severe reviews by highly qualified scientists, such as t he late Klimik, Sissakian, and others. I also added mathematical, physical and chemical papers published in refereed journals in which Santilli is not an editor, which papers are essential for the understanding of the apparent EPR verifications.

In closing allow me to recommend that the article be completed wiuth a section entitled "Research" since all visitors are expecting news on Santilli's apparent verifications of the EPR argument, while now there is none. I can draft this section, but I would need access to the References. Thank you. Jolli321 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jolli321 (talk • contribs) 19:18, 22 October 2020. NOTE: My above specified editing of Santilli's 'article' was removed by David Epstein in about three minutes following its posting. (UTC)

Can please some more administrative persons who can decide have a look at the above proposed change. I find the page insulting, too, so it should be overworked. Till Meyenburg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:393:31C0:0:0:0:36D9 (talk) 16:43, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Agreed. This page needs an unbiased administrative review in the interest of Misplaced Pages standing and its role of information vehicle. It is now evident that nobody has been and is allowed to make changes or additions in order to make a fair representation of the contributions of Prof, Santilli who, at age 87, keeps working and publishing in peer-reviewed journals such as Ratio Mathematica 1) and Springer Nature Scientific Reports 2) on subjects that, everybody can see, are vital to science and therefore society .The focus of this Misplaced Pages article is on events presented in negative light only that occurred almost 10 years ago. His recent article published by Nature and his work on the EPR argument point out to new horizons that lead to possible solutions to the crisis of our environment. By looking at the editing history the page, it is evident that nobody has been able to add this information to Prof. Santilli's page because Misplaced Pages remains stubbornly stuck on the defamation campaign fueled years ago by bloggers and stock market profiteers. Misplaced Pages is the loser here. 139.55.184.2 (talk) 21:59, 23 June 2023 (UTC)Tom Yeager139.55.184.2 (talk)
