Professional and Ethical honesty is of utmost importance in all scientific matters. Wikipedia maintainers should either stop Mohsen Sharifi from misuing this page, or remove DIPC's page all-together, so it won't be misused any further for personal use.

:*This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing [[:Template:AfD in 3 steps|step 3]]). It is listed now. [[User:DumbBOT|DumbBOT]] ([[User talk:DumbBOT|talk]]) 12:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

*'''Speedy keep'''. There does seem to be a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Distributed_Inter-Process_Communication&oldid=205947467 superior version in the history], before an apparently long standing edit war broke out, apparently between Dr. Sharifi and his detractors.<br><br>There may be issues with the [[WP:N|notability]] of this whatever-it-is generally, but no grounds for deleting the article are stated in this nomination. AfD is not for resolving edit wars. - [[User:Ihcoyc|Smerdis of Tlön]] ([[User talk:Ihcoyc|talk]]) 14:45, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

:* Comment. I think this is a keep-but-cleanup. It won't be hard now you've got our attention [[User:William M. Connolley|William M. Connolley]] ([[User talk:William M. Connolley|talk]]) 15:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

'''Please Read:''' Many people have contributed to DIPC's design and development, but Mohsen Sharifi just isn't one of them. Allowing his comments to stay is unfair to everybody else who actually did something useful for the project. Mohsen Sharifi's contribution was to rename DIPC 2.1 as C-Sharifi (notice the name? He likes to possess things) and try to sell it. This is of course illegal because DIPC is GPL code.

So I'll try to provide evidence to show who did what in DIPC's development. Please notice Mohsen Sharifi's contribution in the list. It politely means "not much"

If the following doesn't settle the matter, I don't know what will.

*) From the file AUTHORS in Sourceforge's Alpha 3.0 version of DIPC:

"Original DIPC system by: Kamran Karimi ([e-mail])

Version 3.0 by: Kyle Centers ([e-mail])

See also docs/dipc.people for other contributions"

*) From the file docs/dipc.people in the 2.1-beta version of DIPC: (Sorry this is long. This file and Mohsen Sharifi's corresponding entry have been present since the first release of DIPC, but Mohsen Sharifi never contested it until after his C-Sharifi failed to sell)
