class="wp-signpost-block-2 wp-signpost-block-2-narrow"> <p>PLANO, TEXAS — Hoping that nobody would notice, electrical engineer and Wikipedia editor Randall Pickenplace deleted his half-written comment and removed <a href="/wiki/Talk:Example" title="Talk:Example">Talk:Miffeplatz-Helmkraupft interference</a> from his watchlist Thursday, following the crushing realization that his argument was both incorrect and stupid. </p><p>"I really thought I had something there", said Pickenplace, 35, of his aborted attempt to add several paragraphs on turboencabulator leakage to the "Causes" section of the article. </p><p>For the previous six days, Pickenplace had been engaged in a vigorous back-and-forth with the article's creator, Gretchen Fairchild, on both the sourcing for the passage and its <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DUE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DUE">dueness</a> in the article. Pickenplace provided citations to IEEE publications about turboencabulation-induced interference, and cited several textbooks that mentioned the effect. Fairchild responded by pointing out retractions and errata that cast doubt on the phenomenon. </p><p>"At first, I got the revert notification, and I was like 'how could someone be such a dumb jackass?' and undid the edit", Pickenplace said. "But now I'm thinking that someone might actually be me." </p><p>Pickenplace began to have doubts around the third day of the argument, when he noticed several journal articles had Fairchild listed as a coauthor. A subsequent attempt to find more publications about Miffeplatz-Helmkraupft interference turned up nothing relevant to winning the argument, although it did turn up <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://example.com">https://prestigiousham.ac.uk/faculty/~gqfairchild/index.html</a> (last updated in 2005). "That was when I kind of started to see the writing was on the wall," said Pickenplace. "Next to the PhD in digital signal processing." </p> </div> <div style="clear:both"></div></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236342446">.mw-parser-output
