Hello, I'm working on the article Vassieux-en-Vercors and the info box is just enormous. I've looked at other pages and their info boxes are much slimmer. Ireland is one. Can we shrink this down to size so it's not compressing the page? Thanks. Malke 2010 (talk) 16:52, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

That's from the width of the automatic map in Template:Infobox_French_commune. You might bring that up on the talk page there. Gwen Gale (talk) 17:00, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Gwen. Malke 2010 (talk) 17:08, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

HI, I'm back on briefly. Good luck with getting Mr. Grumpy to alter it! If I know Markussep rightly he'll refuse to make any ammendent to it and claim it is fine... Would love your help with Burma and photos!♦ Dr. Blofeld 23:08, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

LOL, we'll see how it goes. I'm sorting Burma photos now, actually. Malke 2010 (talk) 00:49, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

America

It has to do with context. If someone says, "That's an American," it's most likely someone from the states. However, if one titles a written work Butterflies in America, many would think it might have to do with butterflies in continental North and South America: Butterflies in the Americas or Butterflies in the United States would be the spot on titles, to skirt any misunderstanding. Hence, the article shouldn't be renamed, the name of the country is the United States, anything else would be ambiguous. Gwen Gale (talk) 17:16, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

I was just asking if there is a Wikipedia policy about it that says it must be so. I do see your point, but I wouldn't be confused by the two, and the redirect is there. Also, reading the lede would make it plain that it is slavery in America, and afterall, that is a huge part of American history as the country was built almost entirely with slave labour. The books I'm using as sources all say, "America," and it is common among scholars and Professors to say, "Slavery in America," as college courses are titled as such. And, as I mentioned, being that America was built by slave labour, I thought it a fitting title. Anyway, I'll bring it up on the talk page when I've finished rewriting the article. Malke 2010 (talk) 17:47, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Vassieux-en-Vercors

I think you're missing something. This edit "want pic smaller; more room for lede" made the image *larger*, not smaller. And the image belongs in the infobox. The infobox has 270 baked-in for image sizes and if you want to change that get consensus on the talk. Before you mess with things, again, please explain how 270 is so 'huge'. It's only a tad larger than is quite typical. Are you on a machine with really low res video? FYI, I'm seeing a lede that doesn't even reach as far right as the infobox.

Barnstar thanks!

I haven't been on Wikipedia for a while and was greeted by such a pleasent surprise with your barnstar - Thank you very much. Please know that your fairness and rational thinking are appreciated as well. Happy Thanksgiving! Shoreranger (talk) 19:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Just saw it, (your pic of an Myanmar orphaned child)

What a lovely picture. So you where there in 2006; Please tell me more about it either here or by e-mail. Best, TMCk (talk) 17:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Hallo, mein Freund. Long time, no see. Hope all is well. On Myanmar, we try to go every year, except right after the cyclone they wouldn't let anybody in. I've put up more photos from 2006 on Wikicommons. I put them all under "Cities in Myanmar." I've lots more. Haven't even started sorting the other years.Malke 2010 (talk) 18:39, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

I see that you had to welcome yourself at commons;). I did (had to do) the same thing at some foreign wiki as far as I remember... XD.
Anyhow, I see that you just uploaded those pictures recently so you probably see how it came to me as a surprise. While reading your response I've also checked my e-mail account (which I rarely check) and found your e-mails which I'll try to answer although it might take a few days. Hope you don't mind.About your latest e-mail, it seems to be a misunderstanding as it doesn't look as bad as you think but I'll tell you more per e-mail if the issue is still ongoing by the time of my response.TMCk (talk) 21:20, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I have a question. In listing an AfD, what is the category letter for Christianity and Catholic related articles? Thanks.Malke 2010 (talk) 17:23, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be a specific one for Chritianity/Catholic articles. The only place I found related AfDs in at cat=S which is "Category:AfD debates (Society topics)". Shearonink (talk) 18:36, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I did see that Christianity category on another AfD. Maybe they don't use it anymore. Malke 2010 (talk) 19:36, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

See also Category:AfD debates (Nominator unsure of category). Gwen Gale (talk) 19:42, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Gwen. Didn't know that was there.Malke 2010 (talk) 19:44, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Also, forgot to mention that Jclemens found what I was looking for. It's "Christianity related articles." Malke 2010 (talk) 19:45, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Marian articles

As you and I rightly noted, there were process problems on the deletion of the "Catholic views......." article. But I also noted some other things. One is a consensus (at least amongst the folks present) that there were too many closely related Marian articles. I also noted that I believe that you have both expertise and interest in coverage in this area. I lack expertise in this area, so please feel free to tell me to go pound sand, but is there any chance that you could suggest something to move the Marian article(s) as a whole onward an upward, even if that meant leaving the "Catholic views...." article behind? Just a thought, please ignore if I am out of line. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 23:44, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Catholic views is gone for six, but what I'd like to see is the articles get out of the editing isolation they seem to be in. A good way to do that might be to put up an RfC on the Wikiproject Catholicism page and send notices out to everybody who has ever edited those articles and tell them their input would be welcome. I don't think that would be seen as canvassing, but who knows. And then at some point someone, I think Paul Nyugen and Johnbod would be best, who could be moderators, like the mediation cabal editors. And then look at the list and decide on merge/delete, etc. The problem of course is getting the cooperation so that things go smoothly and it doesn't start to become one editor making all the decisions again. The more editors willing to participate, the more likely will be success. I was thinking of withdrawing the AfD's and making that suggestion. What do you think?Malke 2010 (talk) 01:30, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I have to confess that I'm not up to speed on the happenings in the related articles. Also on the people involved. The only active participant at the Catholic views... article debate that I seen a lot before long term is Maurader..... who I've seen a lot before and has always been solid. (even though he/she indirectly had an opposing view on my process point there) It sounds like anything that will get more people involved would be a plus, such as the RFC. That would be a proper forum, not canvassing. But I have an extra comment as a "let's roll, let's get it done" type person. But for a complex topic (e.g. architecture of a group of articles), you need more than lots of people, you need someone to make a good proposal. You seem to be knowledgable in this area and be interested in overall progress. Maybe you could make such a proposal. If you will forgive me, if you have any biases etc. from past or to-be-immediately ended battles, leave them behind when making a proposal. And ending any current battles (RFD's etc.) would simplify things immensely for this process....to the point of being a necessity, and so, IMHO, a good idea to say the least. North8000 (talk) 12:43, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

An RfC proposal has to be worded properly and posted in the right place, etc. I'm thinking WikiProject Catholicism. For the AfD's, I don't see a proper procedure so I'm going to track down an admin to advise.Malke 2010 (talk) 17:04, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Message From Malke?

I began using Wikipedia to occasionally research information about things back when I was in school, and I still occasionally use it for personal insight to miscellaneous subjects I'm interested in at the time. I only know how to use Wikipedia for research purposes, and I've never even made an account. However, today while I was researching something, there was a link at the top of the page saying I had received a message. It appears as follows:

User talk:70.178.119.43 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search [edit] March 2010.

Information.svg Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia as you did to Rebecca Gayheart. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Please note that Wikipedia administrators can block editors who engage in vandalism and other disruptive behavior. Thank you.Malke2010 04:01, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Like I stated, I'm not very versed in using Wikipedia. I'm not even quite sure if I'm sending you a message correctly. At the bottom of the message where it states "Malke", I assumed this meant you sent that message to me. If so, I'd like to inform you that you're incorrect because I've never edited any article, nor have I even been to Rebecca Gayheart's Wikipedia Article, nor do I even know or desire to know who she is. That being said, you must have confused my IP address with that of another user.

If I am, in fact, wrong about how I received this message, then I completely apologize for bothering you and thank you for taking the time to acknowledge my concern. Yet, if you did send me this message, this is my reply:

Please refrain from sending counterproductive* messages to users as you did to me. Your message appears to constitute an arrogant presumption and should be retracted. If you would like to ensure your presumptions are targeted at the correct user, please don't rely on IP addresses alone, for they can be confused; i.e. shared computers. Please note that I have never edited an article, so I must not have engaged in vandalism and other disruptive behavior while not editing the articles that I never edited. Therefore, Wikipedia administrators should not block me because I'm not an editor, but if they choose to anyway-- I'll survive by gaining information elsewhere. Thank you.

* "Counterproductive" is an example of a better choice word in this sentence because "unconstructive" isn't a word.

70.178.119.43 (talk) 18:28, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Malke is not editing at the moment, but I can answer in her stead. She posted her message in March 2010 to another individual who had been allocated the ip you are using - not to you. The box below the message on your ip user talkpage clarifies the issue. You may even have a new ip address when you read this. There is very little chance of an admin blocking you for a warning made to this address almost a year ago - as we (I happen to be an admin) are fully aware that the individual receiving an old message is likely to be different from the one that incurred it. Relax, have some WP:Tea, and continue enjoying using the encyclopedia. Cheers, LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:35, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Age of Consent Chris Hansen

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

What do you mean when you say there's no such thing as the age of consent? Obviously the reason talking to these teens is illegal is because there underage, that's why I added the age of sexual consent comment. In most states if they were 16 or older it wouldn't be a problem. And Dateline stops at age 15. That's why I was clarifying that they're talking about young teens. --RJR3333 (talk) 04:39, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I know that the age of consent in most states is 18 I was wrong to say it was 16 in all states but in some states it is I've read the text of Indiana and Georgia's law and there is nothing in them that forbids having sex with someone 16 or 17 unless the person works at the minor's school or place of employment. I know that in Wisconsin, Wyoming, Pennsyvania, Tennesse, Maryland, and many other states its 18 I'm just saying there are exceptions. But even if the age of consent was 21 it still doesn't change the fact that the reason these people go to jail is because the minors are below the age of consent. If they were 18 or older they certainly wouldn't be going to jail. So the addition was appropriate. I'm not saying 16 is legal in all states. --RJR3333 (talk) 00:38, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Malke if you look at the To Catch a Predator it says the phrase "below the age of consent (12-15) which is exactly what I said. So what I added is exactly what was in the show's article. Its not incorrect. I have tried to discuss this with you and correct some of your incorrect views about the law but you won't listen. And it seems you didn't even read the article you showed me about the Georgia case. --RJR3333 (talk) 01:01, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

The show's Wikipedia article is not correct. And we don't use other Wikipedia articles as a reference. Please revert your edits. You have no citations to back them up. As I told you on your talk page, several times now, there is no such thing as "age of consent" regarding sex in any of the statutes. It's misleading. Your edits are original research and now you've engaged in edit warring. Malke 2010 (talk) 01:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Well I used to think the age limit was 18 in every state and two of the users Legitimus and Flyer22 told me I was wrong and that a handful of states have it at 16 or 17. And the text of the laws seems to indicate that they are correct. Are you telling me their wrong? I'm confused, first Legitimus calls me a liar for saying its 18 in every state now you call me a liar for saying it isn't which is it, its almost as if wikipedia intentionally contradicts itself? --RJR3333 (talk) 01:13, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't know about anyone calling you a liar. I certainly did not. You seem unable to understand how the editing works on Wikipedia. You are putting in your opinion, as you talk page responses/comments illustrate. You seem to be convinced that such a thing as "age of consent" regarding sex exists in the United States. It does not. The statutes exist to protect children from sexual predators they do not exist to announce it's okay to have sex with children after a certain age.Malke 2010 (talk) 01:25, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Ok I think I understand what you're saying the term age of consent is not really the correct term but instead of focusing on what we call it lets focus on the main issue. I believe that in some states, for example Georgia, it is legal for an adult to have sex with a 16 year old, from reading these laws you are correct they don't say its ok to have sex with people after this age but since all they say is for example in Georgia anyone who has with anyone below 16 is guilty of pedophilia, if it does not say anything about a person after say 21 not being allowed to have sex with someone below 18, doesn't that by default make 16 legal, or are you saying its still illegal? Because according to Legitimus it is legal in some states and according to you it isn't, which is it? I'm not neccesarily saying I have an opinion whether it should be, I'm just asking if he was correct in his interpretation or not? You seem to be saying with anyone below 18 is pedophilia, but Legitimus said in some states the pedophilia laws define 16 as their limit. Again if its not banned in the law, that by default makes it legal. And notice I took down my edit and even the other person's edit citing numbers and age of consent so don't say I'm still edit warring. --RJR3333 (talk) 01:36, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Pedophilia refers to adults who have sex with pre-pubescent children. Sexual predators is the term often used for adults who have sex with pubescent children between the ages of 13 and 17. No, it does not make sex with someone age 16 legal by default. You misunderstand the laws. It is not legal in Georgia, or anywhere, for an adult to have sex with a teenager who is under the age of 18. You're reading the statutes wrong. You completely miss where the statutes distinguish between misdemeanor and felony, between an 18 year-old having sex with a 17 year-old, and a 50 year-old having sex with a 17 year-old. The laws in the United States exist to protect children from exploitation by adults 18 and up. They do not exist to announce to the world when it's okay to sexually exploit children. By custom and statute, Americans don't like children under the age of 18 to be having any sex with any body, but especially not with adults. Malke 2010 (talk) 01:58, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAges_of_consent_in_North_America&action=historysubmit&diff=432913071&oldid=432861517 I argued what you said to Legitimus and he claims what you said isn't true and that close in age exceptions aren't a factor in any law. And it seems to me like allowing a close in age exception is illogical, either a person is old enough to have sex or he isn't, that would be like allowing a 9 year old to have sex with a 10 old based on their closeness in age. But anyway are you saying Legitimus is wrong? Because if he is the article about age of consent in North America for sex needs to be changed because it doesn't mention what you said it makes it look like Indiana and a few other states simply set the age limit at 16. --RJR3333 (talk) 02:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Also you have not provided any statute that shows it is illegal in Indiana or Georgia for say, a 30 year old to have sex with a 16 year old. The article you showed about someone who was with a 15 year old, not 16, and he was 17 so it also illustrates that close in age exceptions are not a factor in Georgia law. So basically this is the point, either you are not telling the truth, or Legitimus and the wikipedia age of consent articles are lying, which is it? If you cannot provide evidence that there is a statute specifically forbidding that instead of your vague "by law and custom statement" whereas Legitimus text to the exact text of state and federal laws, why should I believe you over him? --RJR3333 (talk) 02:14, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Also I changed the 12-15 to 13-15 as you requested even though Chris Hansen has impersonated 12 year olds a few times so don't say I'm edit warring. --RJR3333 (talk) 02:17, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

The article Age of consent is not well sourced and is not accurate. There is no such thing in the United States as "age of consent laws regarding sex" and I seriously doubt that they exist in any Western country except perhaps in Amsterdam where human trafficking in children flourishes. Many articles on Wikipedia are loaded with factual errors, poor or nonexistent sources, etc., in other words, original research. It is not exactly the first choice reference for most people. The 'close in age' gap you are referring to is when the state law uses the age difference to determine whether a felony or a misdemeanor is to be charged. An 18 year old having sex with a 17 year old: misdemeanor. A 50 year old having sex with a 17 year old: Felony. And with that, I'll close the discussion. Malke 2010 (talk) 02:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Even if what you said is true and its 18 in all countries then 18 is the age limit for sex. There's still an age of consent. But you still have not shown me where in Indiana or Georgia it says that. I've asked you for a source other than tradition and you have not provided one. And if its 18 in Georgia then why did the legislature consider raising it to 18 in 2005. --RJR3333 (talk) 02:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Also if you are right then why do you criticze my edits to the Hansen when I never stated in that article that 16 was legal but Legitimus and the other editors claim it is in the North America sex laws article and you haven't criticized them for it? Why is everyone on wikipedia criticizing me for both positions one of them has to be true I'm sorry?--RJR3333 (talk) 03:03, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

I've explained, at length, the problem with the edits to the Hansen article. As to others criticizing you, you'll have to ask them for specifics. As to the other article on "North American sex laws" I've not read it nor have any interest in it. My suggestion for you would be to learn the basic rules on Wikipedia and make edits that are well sourced and not edits based on opinions and beliefs or on point of view. Also, you need to stay away from the George W. Bush article. Your edits there are vandalism. You are lucky that you have not been blocked for this latest bit: [1]. That's your second go round there. You've made lots of reverts and a vandalism tonight. Go read the rules. Hope this helps. Good night.Malke 2010 (talk) 03:12, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Just one closing thought, if you're taking it upon yourself to take down my edit because you say all countries have an age limit for sex of 18 then you should be willing to research the issue to see if you're incorrect. By which I mean for you to say you're not interested in the article age of consent in North America for sex is kind of ridiculous. --RJR3333 (talk) 03:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Help please

I'd like to create an article on José Padilla the Honduran/U.S. immigrant. Right now his name redirects to the famous Supreme Court case Padilla v. Commonwealth of Kentucky. How can I un-direct it so I can put up the article? I think he's noteworthy enough to have his own article because of the landmark decision in his case and also to make a distinction from the several other Jose Padilla articles on Wikipedia. Appreciate the help. Malke 2010 (talk) 19:14, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

First, I'm not sure you have the details right. I think that "José Padilla" is the name of a disambig page and does not redirect.

But I think that there are a few redirect pages for that person. One is "José Padilla (born 1950)" which looks like it redirects to a redirect which redirects to Padilla v. Commonwealth of Kentucky. Also "Jose Padilla (Honduran)" redirects to Padilla v. Commonwealth of Kentucky. So your first step is to pick an article title, keeping the above in mind. After that I could help / would be happy to help. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:35, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Okay, I think the best title would be José Padilla (Honduran). Malke 2010 (talk) 20:38, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

OK, if you mean/want exactly as you just wrote it, (with the gizmo over there "e" in "Jose"), that is a brand new title (with no redirect); you could just put that up as with any new article. Or, if you prefer "Jose Padilla (Honduran)" (without the gizmo over the "e" in Jose) that is a redirect, I could handle (only) once you are ready to put an article up, (or tell you how to do it). Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:51, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Okay, lose the gizmo! Jose Padilla (Honduran) Malke 2010 (talk) 20:57, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

also, I tried using article wizard to make the article and it wouldn't take the name, so we have to undo the redirect first. Malke 2010 (talk) 20:59, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

My suggestion: start it in user space and then we'll move it. I'd wait until it has a couple wp:notability-suitable references before we move it. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 22:02, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Forgot to mention that Jose Padilla (born 1950) that's him too. What do we do about that? Malke 2010 (talk) 21:05, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Suggest ignoring it for now. Later we'll redirect it to your new article. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 22:02, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Okay. But apparently the correct style is to use the gizmo and redirect the name that doesn't have the gizmo. Malke 2010 (talk) 22:34, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

As noted, that's even simpler....that title does not exist, so you should be able to simply make a new article. North8000 (talk) 00:34, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

It turns out, we need admins for this. Two of them are working on right now. Thanks, North. Appreciate the help. Malke 2010 (talk) 00:37, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

OK, signing off. North8000 (talk) 11:50, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

You can read it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk#Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund. Huon (talk) 20:42, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Actually you have only moved the draft from Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, not into the main articlespace. I'd strongly suggest improving the references first; otherwise the article might even be tagged for speedy deletion in the mainspace. Huon (talk) 20:51, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Delete and salt

Delete of course means to simply delete the article as normal, but adding salt means:

• Protect, or salt the Earth ("salt") means that the user thinks that the article, if deleted, should be protected against recreation. This is for cases where the article may be persistently re-created.(per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion ).--Amadscientist (talk) 23:59, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

My suggestion for that was based on the reverting of a number of editors who removed sources that were being misused and what appears to be an attempt to work around policies in this article for partisan bickering. I am of the opinion that these sorts of articles should not be recreated even if merged. The only problem with that is, if the article is merged, I am not sure if it can be salted as the article becomes a redirect but then it could just be locked (protected) in that manner I suppose.--Amadscientist (talk) 00:05, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I wondered about it. I was thinking of how meat gets salted and wondered if it meant this was a permanent deletion. Thanks for getting back. I think I like that idea. I'm going to go with that. Malke 2010 (talk) 00:59, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

It is a reference to sowing fields with salt, a symbolic gesture, which has current tenure as a meme that they will then not grow anything. It was utilized by the Hittites and Assyrians, and purportedly by the Romans, and is mentioned in the Bible. When we "salt" an article, no future article can "grow" there. Is there an article which needs salting? KillerChihuahua 20:32, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Wow, that's a great explanation. Thanks. The article Amadscientist, and I agree with him, thinks should be salted is the Bush Derangement Syndrome. Seems to have no utility on Wikipedia, but it's survived six attempts to delete it. Malke 2010 (talk) 20:36, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, it can't be salted until it is deleted, so let's see how the most recent Afd ends. KillerChihuahua 21:06, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

It might survive to see a 7th AfD. That's hilarious. Some of the comments, although seriously stated, are hilarious, too. I can see this being on Urban Dictionary, but not Wikipedia. Although maybe I'm missing something. Malke 2010 (talk) 21:33, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the TPM Arb case

Although you have not said so specifically, it may be that your immediate attack on me when I reminded editors of civility was due to stress resulting from the continued toxic environment on the TPM article and talk page. You've stated you would prefer to edit TROUBLES articles because "the difference is night and day" due to editors being under a tighter constraint.[5] So my evidence may be more about the toxic environment rather than your actions, although those actions were less than stellar. Please feel free to link to this post of mine when you post your evidence. I'm not at all certain whether sanctions are indicated in your case; but I do think your actions on the TPM talk page were less than you are capable of. I'm not an Arb, but if you simply say words to the effect of "yeah, could have been more civil, will be in the future" I don't forsee any action being taken regarding your actions, and I think that would close the issue so far as I am concerned. KillerChihuahua 21:07, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Diffs are indeed a bit of a pain to get, but an assertion without a diff is like peeing up a rope. KillerChihuahua 21:55, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

LOL, yes, but the boys can pee up a rope. And I doubt if the boy admins would have gotten that desysop bit on the AN/I, but I don't know that ArbCom would appreciate me saying that. On the diff thing, I'm going crazy trying to find a diff for the comment B. Wilkins made on the AN/I. Not the one about the KillerChinchilla, the one he made about what he thought should be done. I thought what he said was smart. Do you know the one I mean? Or was it on another page? Malke 2010 (talk) 22:07, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Can you remember any more than that? I'll help you look, but it would be nice to have a wee bit more to go on than that. Are you certain it was BWilkins who made the post you're looking for? And regarding the boy/girl thing, I dunno, but I can guarantee no one would be joking about calling me a bitch like Arthur Rubin is currently doing if I were a guy. If men are strong, they're admired. If women are strong, they're called bitches. Bah. (And no, not by everyone or even the majority - but by enough to make it teh suk.) KillerChihuahua 22:11, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that. That was out of bounds. I was very disappointed to see Arthur say that. Okay, on the diff, I think B. Wilkins was saying what he thought should be done with North. In reading it, I had the impression he was saying a block, which is what I thought should have been done. But I could see later on why you had not blocked him.Malke 2010 (talk) 22:18, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Your Arbitration evidence is too long

Hello, Malke 2010. Thank you for your recent submission of evidence for the Tea Party movement Arbitration case. As you may be aware, the Arbitration Committee asks that users submitting evidence in cases adhere to limits regarding the length of their submissions. These limits, currently at 1000 words and 100 diffs for parties and 500 words and 50 diffs for all others, are in place to ensure that the Arbitration Committee receives only the most important information relevant to the case, and is able to determine an appropriate course of action in a reasonable amount of time. The evidence you have submitted currently exceeds at least one of these limits, and is presently at 1118 words and 20 diffs. Please try to reduce the length of your submission to fit within these limits; this guide may be able to provide some help in doing so. If the length of your evidence is not reduced soon, it may be refactored or removed by a human clerk within a few days. Thank you! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the case, please contact the drafting Arbitrator or case clerk (who are listed on the case pages); if you have any questions or concerns about this bot, please contact the operator.

I had not created an article in a while and wanted to use the article wizard because it also had the live chat. I apologize for not going back and letting reviewers know about that. Thanks for your time. Malke 2010 (talk) 19:47, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

TPM ArbCom case Workshop

Hi, you added a proposed remedy to my section on the Workshop page.[6] I have moved it to your section. KillerChihuahua 21:01, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Oops! Feel free to move it to the appropriate spot. Malke 2010 (talk) 22:52, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

More on the Workshop

Hi, Malke! I'm a little bit confused about some comments you have made concerning me; maybe you can help me understand. Specifically, these statements at the TPm ArbCom pages have me concerned:

• Topic bans must include Goethean and Xenophrenic -- Any imposition of topic bans must include the editors actively contributing on a regular basis to the problems on the article. March 25 edit

Here, you've stated that I "contribute on a regular basis to the problems on the article". I disagree with that, obviously, and your assertion actually takes me by surprise. Unfortunately, since you have not cited any evidence or provided substantiation, there is no way for me to address this accusation -- that comes off as a bit unfair. Could you please direct me to the contributions of mine upon which you are basing that charge?

• Some editors have been regular, nearly daily, contributors for almost three years. This includes Goethean and Xenophrenic. Not just North8000. And Goethean's and Xenophrenic's arguments and edit wars today are the same ones they had back in 2010. The same sections, the same edits. Over and over. In the meantime, the article has not improved and working together to improve it doesn't seem to factor into talk page discussions. Banning one editor won't solve that. North8000 does not edit in a vacuum. March 25 edit

Nearly daily? I've edited the article on only 13 days over the past 7+ months (~220 days), and sporadically before that, usually when substantive discussion arises. I understand that your point was that I am a relatively regular contributor there, which is accurate, but "nearly daily" makes it sound as if I virtually live there -- but this is a minor quibble. My real objection is to your assertion that, "the article has not improved and working together to improve it doesn't seem to factor into talk page discussions. Banning one editor won't solve that." I can't speak for other editors, about which your criticism may be valid, but working together toward article improvement has always factored into my talk page discussions. Just a few of a great many examples:

As for treating the subjects of racism, homophobia and other bigotry, I liked the idea proposed above of establishing a sub-page somewhere, and collaboratively developing a comprehensive, encyclopedic section on the subject. If written properly, it could replace the whole section presently listing isolated incidents, and it might also replace a portion of the media bias content. It would serve to get rid of the laundry list, as well as stem the inclinations to edit to the two (highly inaccurate) extremes that the tea partiers are a bunch of racists and the tea partiers are not combatting an image problem. Xenophrenic (talk) 19:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Let's work on developing that encyclopedic treatment of the issue. Do that first, and you'll find the need for the present disjointed laundry list of examples and anecdotes will disappear, and we won't need them anymore. Removing them now without first properly addressing the whole issue is inappropriate, and might be misconstrued as leaving the article in a POV state. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 23:23, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I am encouraged to see your expression that you are pro-good article and against POV'ing the article; now let's see if we can put those good intentions into practice. See you in the discussion thread below. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 19:41, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Even editors with whom I frequently disagree have acknowledged that my goal is article improvement:

Xeno, sincerely, your post is quite impressive. I mean this sincerely that it gives me hope that you want a good process and a good article vs. just pov'ing. And, in context, it is a sincere relief that now I'm not sure what to think. What do you think about first trying the new thread at the bottom? Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 00:54, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Well, it must be that we're under a blue moon and the earth is off its axis because I actually agree with Xenophrenic. Malke2010 14:33, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I can cite numerous additional examples of my efforts toward article improvement, if needed, including one-on-one discussions toward that end with North8000 on his Talk page; outlines of reliable source identification, RfC development, etc. Can you see why your newest assertion has taken me by surprise? You are mostly correct when you say, "Xenophrenic's arguments and edit wars today are the same ones they had back in 2010", since even today I find myself arguing that article content needs to be supported by reliable sources, or arguing against the notion that one TP supporter's views are more or less relevant than another TP supporter's views. But I fail to see how you make the leap to "Banning one editor won't solve that." Solve what? What, specifically, prompts you to call for my banning? I noticed that you amended, almost as an afterthought, your above comment to include this:

• Xenophrenic violates WP:TE. March 25

What? Where did that come from? Just last month, didn't you comment about me, saying:

I wouldn't say he's tendentious. He's just determined. Nothing wrong with that. Malke 2010 (talk) 23:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

If you have recently changed your mind and come to a different conclusion, I would appreciate it if you would indicate what actions of mine prompted this new charge against me; as of this moment, you have left it unsubstantiated. I've heard similar unsubstantiated charges from North8000, and briefly from Arthur Rubin, but after pressed for substantiation, North admitted that it was just a belief of his that might be "wrong", and that he would prefer to "leave behind and not discuss further", and Arthur couldn't substantiate it either. You were right when you observed that I am determined rather than tendentious; sometimes frustratingly so to editors trying to skirt Wikipedia policies or push agendas, but if you've had a recent change of heart, at least do me the courtesy of clueing me in on what prompted it.

• KC, you could be seen as involved since you have not included Goethean and Xenophrenic. Please see evidence page re: Goethean. You moderated a dispute after Goethean contacted you. I looked that over. That seemed fine. But now, you don't seem to be seeing Goethean's incivility, WP:BATTLE, and WP:Own, Nor Xenophrenic's. Goethean has even admitted on ANI that his comment at the opening of a thread was wrong. It's not his first comment of that nature. Can you really interpret Goethean's comments to editors as civil? Can you really leave off a close examination of Goethean's comments and Xenophrenic's editing and still be an "uninvolved admin?" March 26

The above statement from you seems mostly about Goethean, since you reference a specific dispute involving him and not me, and you reference a specific admission from him and not me, and you mention a specific comment of his and not mine. But you did toss my name in there as well, again without substantiation. I would like to ask you for that substantiation. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 22:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Xen: It appears I did not find any evidence of problematic editing by you. I've done a strike through here: [7]. Let me know if I've missed any. My sincere apologies for the inconvenience. Malke 2010 (talk) 00:07, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Xen, apparently in searching the archives I came across two threads and for some reason attributed them to you. I confused them with something else entirely. When I was posting on the workshop, it's obvious now why I couldn't relocate them. It was terribly negligent of me not to stay on that and correct the error right then. Sincere apologies again. Malke 2010 (talk) 01:53, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for that, Malke, it is greatly appreciated. After the current dust-up settles, and the finger-pointing, name-calling, demands for diffs, etc., dies down, maybe we can work on some serious article improvement. It's long overdue. Even when you are disagreeing with me, your usual level of civility doesn't go unnoticed and is certainly appreciated. Xenophrenic (talk) 09:56, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Xen. Remember this edit? The edit summaries say it all: [8]. Malke 2010 (talk) 10:46, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Tea Party movement Moderated discussion

A discussion is taking place at Talk:Tea Party movement/Moderated discussion to get consensus on finding and addressing the main points of contention on the article, and moving the article to a stable and useful condition. As you are a significant contributor to the article, your involvement in the discussion would be valued and helpful. As the discussion is currently looking at removing a substantial amount of material, it would be appropriate for you to check to see what material is being proposed for removal, in case you have any concerns about this. If you feel you would rather not get involved right now, that is fine; however, if you later decide to get involved and directly edit the article to reverse any consensus decisions, that might be seen as disruptive. Re-opening discussion, however, may be acceptable; though you may find few people willing to re-engage in such a discussion, and if there are repeated attempts to re-open discussion on the same points, that also could be seen as disruptive. The best time to get involved is right now. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 08:29, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

RFC/U on User:Arzel

You took part in a discussion that dealt with user:Arzel, which took place here. There was a clear community consensus for a topic ban for user:Arzel. Many of the issue fell outside of discussion on TPM. With such a large community consensus and with arbitration committee only dealing with issues directly related to the TPM, I went ahead and started a WP:RFC/U, here. You are invited to endorse this and to take part in the WP:RFC/U. Casprings (talk) 18:17, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of New-adult fiction for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article New-adult fiction is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New-adult fiction until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Orange Mike | Talk 00:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

• I have removed the "hangon" template you placed on this article - those are only used where speedy deletion has been proposed, which is not the case here. The deletion discussion will run, normally, for seven days. JohnCD (talk) 14:53, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

need to know

Hi. Well, it depends on exactly why it's being considered for deleletion. What article is it? Revent (talk) 15:01, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

New-adult fiction and there doesn't seem to be a legitimate reason. And someone essentially blanked the page after the nom. I restored the content. Malke 2010 (talk) 15:05, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

• Ok, I see now...Well, the 'rescue' is essentially the discussion on the articles for deletion thread...if you make your case with the interested people there, then you 'win'. You can ask other people you might think would be interested to weigh in, but you need to be careful about not WP:CANVASSING. Revent (talk) 15:06, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Content discussion, resumed

The discussion in the "Content discussion, resumed" section got out of hand, so I have closed it. A number of contributors to that discussion wandered away from commenting on the content into commenting on the contributor. I would ask that everyone make a special effort to word what they say carefully. Comments such as "I think we should seriously consider Arthur's suggestion that we vote to ban Xenophrenic from this page, and I'd add we should vote on whether to topic ban him from Tea Party movement. It's obvious he is not here to edit in a collegial way, nor he is interested in neutral POV. His personal attacks, battles, and disruption are directly opposing the work here and hence, the work on the article", are unhelpful and provoke negative responses.

At this point it might be better if anyone has concerns about the behaviour of anyone else in the discussion, that they bring those concerns direct to me rather than raise them on the discussion page. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 12:24, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Absolutely. I left a suggestion on the discussion page. Malke 2010 (talk) 17:13, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

SPA tags

The tags are not there to mark socks/meatpuppets - they give context to anyone wishing to add to/close the discussion. Please do not remove them again. I'm leaving on a trip, so I won't really be able to respond for the next few weeks, but remember that the more you cite WP:AGF, the less you are actually following WP:AGF (see Carbonite's law). Cheers, Ansh666 20:48, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

• You seem oblivious to the fact that tagging these editors like that comes across as offensive and appears to be an attempt to add bias. It makes you look like you're standing in front of the article and waving off the admins from considering their contributions. I don't see any Wikipedia policy that says readers can't sign in and make a comment, nor is there a policy against what appears to be a single purpose account. We have lots of editors on Wikipedia who are revert only accounts and have been for years. I don't see anyone tagging all their edits. IMHO, tagging the editors like that adds bias. Their comments should have the same weight as any other editor's. Any editor can click on the contribs and make a judgement for themselves. But tagging them like that might well put off someone from reading their contribution and certainly it might cause them to discount it entirely. I find it offensive and akin to 'stacking the deck,' and certainly a failure to assume good faith. Malke 2010 (talk) 21:03, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
  • There is a difference between a SPA with 1000 edits and one with 3. Of course, from your perspective, I'm doing all of these things, but I honestly don't give a damn about the content of that page: I base all of my AfD commentary off policy ONLY, as do most ordinary participants. I'm sparing others the work of viewing the contribs of 3-4 IPs/accounts separately. It doesn't make their contributions any less valid to anyone without a previous bias. Also, there you go again with AGF. Anyhow, I'm actually going to go now, so later. Ansh666 21:12, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

New-adult fiction article

I saw your request in the Article Rescue Squadron talk page for people to examine this article. I did and decided to register a 'keep' vote. I did so, because I examined the article and many of the sources and I agree the subject should have its own page. Decided not to say anything on the Squadron talk page after someone made a comment about what I had said in another discussion. I always look at the subject's merits, or lack thereof, presented in each AfD discussion and vote my views. Bill Pollard (talk) 03:53, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

That's great news. Well done you for taking the time to look it over. I've been working on rewriting the article with new sources. So much has happened with the subject since I started the article way back when that it really needs a good rewrite. Thanks for the support. Malke 2010 (talk) 03:58, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Extended content

Regarding Moderated Discussion at Tea Party movement Let me say from the beginning that this is not canvassing. This is an attempt, with the best of intentions for Wikipedia, to resolve a problem. I think we should seriously consider Arthur's suggestion that we vote to ban Xenophrenic from this page ... I recommended that at ArbCom, but I'm not sure they'll do anything; unfortunately the Moderated Discussion page and the article's main Talk page are not appropriate places for such a discussion. The gentleman has been engaged in this behavior on several articles related to U.S. politics for several years. It's completely unacceptable. So I recommended, and I'm again recommending, a topic ban on all articles related to U.S. politics, broadly construed. I recommend RFC/U as they did with Arzel. Allegedly ANI is also an appropriate forum to begin with, but that has every likelihood of turning into a bloodbath. We need to go to RFC/U first to establish tone, numbers, and the body of evidence. You and Arthur could certify the RFC/U, we could discuss it, and then (if consensus suggests it) we could move to ANI and "vote" on a community ban. In an RFC/U followed by ANI, we do not need to rely on ArbCom to make the decision. We're the ones who have had to deal with this behavior on a daily basis, so we're the ones who are in the best position to see the problem and the solution with the greatest clarity. We'd need to bring SilkTork into it to ensure no one challenges its legitimacy. This should be done with the caveat that Xeno should have the option of asking for a removal of the topic ban, after a substantial period (six months to a year) of productive work on other articles. I'd like to believe that almost anyone can be rehabilitated, and he does have the potential to be a productive editor. And it is altogether possible that during the course of all these discussions, Xeno may accept that his behavior is unacceptable, and change his behavior without a topic ban at all. I am placing the same message on Arthur's page. kind regards ... Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 16:07, 20 May 2013 (UTC) All right, that sounds like a reasonable path to follow. And let's add that any removal of a topic ban will require he edit with a mentor. He appears to need the perspective a mentor can provide. Malke 2010 (talk) 16:39, 20 May 2013 (UTC) Well, it takes two people to certify an RFC/U. I suggest you coordinate this with Arthur. Move forward, it'll be over in about a week, you can copy evidence from ArbCom and discuss it calmly, and then proceed to ANI. Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 19:16, 21 May 2013 (UTC) If you get it started, does it still take two more people? I thought it took only one, but then I don't get involved in these things. I spoke up for Arzel because it was totally unfair the way it was done. Thankfully the editor listened to the community and closed it. Malke 2010 (talk) 21:08, 21 May 2013 (UTC) I've done this before, the other person bailed out on me after a day, and I was left looking stupid. That isn't happening this time. I'm going in with three people certifying. I was hoping you and Arthur would start it since the two of you seemed motivated in the Moderated Discussion, and I'd step in if one of you bails out. But that's fine, I'll start it. I will be back with a link once it's started and you can certify it. Find a diff of one of your Talk page edits where you tried to reason with Xeno. Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 03:09, 22 May 2013 (UTC) Yes, will do. Send the link as soon as. Go round to Arthur and let him know. Malke 2010 (talk) 03:18, 22 May 2013 (UTC) Here is the RfC/U: [9] Please certify it and provide diffs of your efforts to resolve these disputes with Xenophrenic. I think you'll be ablke to find some on the Moderated Discussion page. kind regards ... Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 07:37, 22 May 2013 (UTC) I realize your schedule is difficult this week. All I'm asking for here immediately is certification of the RfC/U, which is just your four-tilde signature in the appropriate spot, plus a few diffs showing your attempts to resolve the issue with Xeno, which should be easy to find on the Moderated Discussion page. The deadline is roughly tomorrow night at midnight, West Coast time. Any evidence you present at a future date could just be a copy of whatever you're going to present at ArbCom. regards ...

Malke 2010 (talk) 13:54, 29 May 2013 (UTC) Unfortunately, I think I may have exhausted all my available resources, until I check in with my local air museum library and archives next week.

I'm sure there's enough about him somewhere.Malke 2010 (talk) 14:04, 29 May 2013 (UTC) I put some suggestions for sources on the article talk page. I don't have access to them. --108.45.72.196 (talk) 16:51, 30 May 2013 (UTC) All right, I'll see what I can do. Malke 2010 (talk) 16:53, 30 May 2013 (UTC) Check out the Donovan Berlin article now- it perhaps should be relisted as Don R. Berlin was the more commonly used name. Nonetheless, the article now fully covers an interesting individual's life work. FWiW, lots of refs did show up, and I haven't even hit the local air museum library yet. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 13:51, 4 June 2013 (UTC) I'll take a look now. I agree about moving it to Don R. Berlin as IP has suggested, although a Google search seems to return more Donovan Berlin's than Don R. Berlin. Malke 2010 (talk) 14:21, 4 June 2013 (UTC) Your work there has been brilliant! I like the photos you've found. I moved the article to Don R. Berlin. Can we get it to GA? Malke 2010 (talk) 14:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC) I forgot to mention the additions you've made to his engineering info box. I was very happy to find that box.

Malke 2010 (talk) 20:56, 5 June 2013 (UTC) Problematic edit It appears the edit you are concerned about took place on another page unrelated to the Tea Party. Please do not bring up matters unrelated to the Tea Party on the discussion page - if you have concerns about other editors there are venues for that. If you feel it might relate to matters regarding the Tea Party then you know that the procedure is to approach me directly. This is a warning not to do such a thing again or you will be blocked. SilkTork ✔Tea time 15:56, 7 June 2013 (UTC) No, he made it on the moderated discussion. I just emailed it to you. Malke 2010 (talk) 15:58, 7 June 2013 (UTC) Also, wanted to mention, I don't know anything about any incidents on other pages involving this editor regarding any such comments. Apparently you have arrived here after Collect made this post on your talk page. [11]. Whatever that is, is not at all what I was referring to on the moderated discussion. Malke 2010 (talk) 17:01, 7 June 2013 (UTC) Thanks for contacting me. I am now aware of the incident on the Tea Party page, and have given a warning for that. I apologise to you for issuing the above warning before being fully aware of the facts. However, the caution to bring such concerns directly to me rather than raising them on the talkpage remains. SilkTork ✔Tea time 05:36, 8 June 2013 (UTC) Thank you for that. And yes, your talk page would be the place. Malke 2010 (talk) 05:42, 8 June 2013 (UTC) Talkback Hello, SW3 5DL.

Please move, from my talk page, what I've done on Desiderio Scaglia to article space. I'm still refining it, but it can be moved now. Could you also tag it so it says it was mostly translated from the article on the French Wikipedia? Thank you for your help.

Did you tell the Help page you'd done it? Malke 2010 (talk) 13:20, 22 June 2013 (UTC) I did, just now, and sort of continued the conversation with a question. --108.45.72.196 (talk) 04:50, 24 June 2013 (UTC) I went over there the same day and saw they'd responded and thanked them. I like to make sure to follow-up if we solve it beforehand. I'll take a look. Malke 2010 (talk) 15:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC) small informal request Thank you for the kind thought of welcoming me on my ip talk page. One of the reasons I prefer to edit as an ip is to avoid personalized conflict. I have requested editorial help here, but am not sure exactly how else I can respond with a light touch to insistent accusations of vandalism/disruption (on my talk page and elsewhere) by a recent new user despite having pointed out that this is not what "vandalism" actually means. I would rather back off and would appreciate some thoughtful informal assistance, if possible, from an experienced editor not involved in WP:MED. Thank you, 81.157.7.7 (talk) 12:00, 25 June 2013 (UTC) You're welcome. I've looked over the edits. I'm not familiar with the article but it appears to be a content dispute. I don't see any vandalism on your part. I do see a bit of an edit war but there is talk page discussion so that might settle down. You're a WP:NEWBIE and you're not aware of all the rules. One of the rules is that we don't accuse editors of vandalism when it's really a content dispute, so Seppi333 might need a reminder. I don't know anything about his editing history. You don't have a named account and IP's are known for vandalism on Wikipedia. This makes it easy to call what you are doing vandalism. There are some rules you need to know right away. WP:3RR, that's a big one and if you violate that you could be blocked from editing for a period of time. If you keep it up, especially editing as an IP, and administrator is likely to block you indefinitely, so learn that rule. The other is WP:BRD. You can make a bold edit, but if it gets reverted, you need to discuss on the talk page. About the sources, there is a noticeboard that helps to sort the quarrels over sources used. In general, I'd day the age of a source does not preclude it's use unless it refers to content no longer considered relevant, especially in scientific/medical articles. Newer studies that supplant old information would be preferred. If an editor persists in calling you a vandal, I'd take the behaviour to an administrator and mention the problem. You would need to provide links to the place where you were called a vandal so he/she could evaluate it. An editor can actually get blocked from editing if they call another editor a vandal. I'll leave a note on his talk page. I don't know where I was when I noticed you were new to Wikipedia. The template I put on your talk page has some basic information and you should read it and follow the links. That will get you started. Malke 2010 (talk) 15:17, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Thank you for taking the trouble to reply in such detail Malke 2010. Actually I'm not a newbie and I'm not sure quite where you think I've been "acting like a newbie" (except perhaps in getting flustered). Presumably, you assumed I'm a newbie because I choose to edit as an IP (as I explained above). In reality, my IP address last changed while I was in the course of making a detailed revision to Infectious_mononucleosis#Signs_and_symptoms. I am aware of WP:3RR and I believe the edits/reversions I made at Amphetamine mixed salts (medication) in response to a request for assistance at WT:MED#Performance-enhancing_use_of_medically-prescribed_Adderall were appropriate (though I much prefer just improving articles than exposure to conflict). Thank you. 81.157.7.7 (talk) 16:15, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Ah, that explains some things. You know of course that you're more at risk for not being taken seriously, or worse, have your edits misinterpreted because you're editing as an IP. I did ask Seppi333 to stop calling you a vandal. You're using the talk page, so that's good. I don't know the subject but it seems an ordinary content dispute. If you've edited before, then you know you can always call on an admin for help. Just be careful removing content that's been there for a while. Malke 2010 (talk) 16:28, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Please see my talk page. There's a new issue and I've explained there. Seppi333 (talk) 16:37, 25 June 2013 (UTC) I have just read the new accusations and will back off from the conflict (though I still consider the issue raised at WT:MED#Performance-enhancing_use_of_medically-prescribed_Adderall by User:Hildabast to be a pertinent one for the integrity of Wikipedia). 81.157.7.7 (talk) 16:48, 25 June 2013 (UTC) (edit conflict)That was why I called on you in your "experienced editor" guise (rather than as an Admin with tools) to help clarify WP:VANDAL to a new editor who is confusing vandalism with a content dispute. Can I take the opportunity of suggesting that (IMO at least) constructive IP contributors deserve being "taken seriously" in the same way as any other user? Regards, —81.157.7.7 (talk) 16:41, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Yes, you absolutely are correct to insist that you be taken seriously as I've demonstrated by helping you. I was simply reminding that frequently IPs are here to vandalize and sometimes editors use the same brush to paint all. Apologies for any misunderstanding. Malke 2010 (talk) 16:47, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Thanks. No problem. —81.157.7.7 (talk) 16:50, 25 June 2013 (UTC) New section I have added a new section Prevention to the Coccidioidomycosis article, could you please read it in your spare time.

Physiology gives us an understanding of how and why things in the field of medicine happen. Together, let us jumpstart the project and get it going. Our energy is all it needs. Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing! You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with {{WikiProject Physiology|class=|importance=}} with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably. You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once! We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold! Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable! Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome. To invite other editors to this WikiProject, copy and past this template (with the signature): {{subst:WP Physiology–invite}} ~~~~ To welcome editors of physiology articles, copy and past this template (with the signature): {{subst:WP Physiology–welcome}} ~~~~ You can feel free to contact us on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us.

Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Acer saccharum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Eastern seaboard (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:56, 13 June 2014 (UTC) Thanks for thanks I have received notification of your thanks. I much appreciate your attitude and intention, and thank you in turn, but bearing in mind that I did no more than remarking on a startlingly idiotic principle in passing instead of doing any actual work on the subject, I feel that I deserved a lot less. But far be it from me to complain when complimented! All the best, JonRichfield (talk) 05:08, 14 June 2014 (UTC) I appreciated your input. It was very well said.

Thanks for your contribution to the above debate. I certainly agree that the article contains substantial amounts of original research, but I felt that your suggestion that it was a WP:HOAX was probably a little unfair. From personal knowledge I can confirm that a great deal of what's included in the article as written is true, and where I don't have personal knowledge the claims are largely consistent with what little critical opinion there is on this subject. The problem, as you mentioned, is the lack of references. I'm expecting the article to be deleted, and will probably recommend that course of action myself, but I feel that describing the article as BS was less than fair. Thanks. RomanSpa (talk) 06:48, 24 June 2014 (UTC) On a separate matter, I noticed your petition, and have signed it. Anything that improves communication is always welcome! RomanSpa (talk) 07:00, 24 June 2014 (UTC) Thanks for signing that petition. I didn't have any issues as some editors encountered. It would have been nice to have a heads up on that one. On the article, I spent some time looking into that. There is no such thing as 'disco orchestration' and there is no evidence via sound recordings and/or performances by any of the listed city symphony orchestras that any of the orchestra conductors ever dipped their batons in a single disco song, let alone create 'disco orchestration.' I did add a comment for the closing admin. It is truly a hoax and should be speedily deleted.

Actually this edit does seem to me constructive as matters stand; oddly enough, Sars redirects to the disambig page, but SARS (all caps) redirects straight to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Would you consider either restoring the IP's edit, or reviewing how the redirections work?: Noyster (talk), 18:56, 30 July 2014 (UTC) Thanks for the note. I've redirected SARS to the disambig page. The IP's first edit here seemed questionable to me so I'd no idea what he might be up to. The virus pages are easily vandalized with subtle inappropriate additions/deletions as many editors on vandal patrol are unable to recognize the edit as vandalism. Thanks again.

SW3 5DL (talk) 22:32, 6 October 2014 (UTC) I agree.thank you, once more--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 23:33, 6 October 2014 (UTC) Discussions, :-) Hi SW3 5DL I tried a bit to understand the conflict we have between the authors. But this is really difficult, I thing it started when authors said, "No do not do this edit." And then the discussion started not to focus on content and arguments but on the contributors. "Do this maverick", "You should have locked into a dictionary", You should read first before you start editing, ... Then one personal statement causes the next. I myself was frustated when I mentioned an interesting idea, and a reply on the talk page was, "We should not take this article serious, a 3rd grade could have done it better". I see only one solution, make only comments focussed on content. Stop saying, what is believed, that the other person is. We do not know. This is an anonymous medium. And the moderators where already activated, so I propose to keep calm and wait how they decide. My opinion is, that they are very reluctant to delete the new pages. So I said to me, let me start to work on the new pages. But if they are deleted, I will write about Guinea on the main article. When I see how much is written on Sierra Leone, I would say, the next split at least to a Combined Guinea/Sierra Leone/Liberia Page is not far. And contrary to some authors, Guinea appears to me quite different from Liberia. And reminding myself of the letter to the editor, I just mentioned on this page.

By Lionelt After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO. Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). (Discuss this story) IN THE MEDIA Breitbart Versus Wikipedia By Lionelt Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline. At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red." Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

(Discuss this story) RECENT RESEARCH Research About AN/I By Lionelt Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by Zarasophos Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways: 53% avoided making a report due to fearing it would not be handled appropriately "Otherwise 'popular' users often avoid heavy sanctions for issues that would get new editors banned." "Discussions need to be clerked to keep them from raising more problems than they solve." In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion.
