Please try to be neutral when contributing to the articles. I know you think Singer and Lomborg, et al., are wrong about environmental issues, but this is not an opinion board. Posting a one-sided smear by the DCSD made at best an unbalanced article -- and might even be a violation of NPOV. Just because they condemn him, doesn't mean they're right. Their report didn't even give any examples!
If you and I are going to work together on environmental issues, you can keep me honest by pointing out when I mess up. I often fail to provide sources for "facts", for example, or make sweeping statements. I will do the same for you, okay?
To Soulpatch... I am writing you directly only because someone in the discussion section on the New Testament article accused you of going throughout Wikipedia and changing all the "A.D." entries to "C.E.". If this is the case, I thought you may be interested in the entry that I posted a few lines below yours in the same conversation. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the matter as to why (I assume) you disagree with me on this position. My own sensitivities are with those who fear that a lot of history is being unnecessarily (or purposely) re-written, misunderstood, or washed over simply by others of a different viewpoint changing the language that we use to communicate. I look forward to your reply. BeakerK44 01:09, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Electoral College
editIn case you aren't watching it, I replied to your comments in the Electoral College explaining why the Electoral College is a Representative Election, not a Minority Election. Kainaw 18:50, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
editHi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
Notability of Amy LaVere
editA tag has been placed on Amy LaVere, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 172.162.81.43 15:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

A kitten for you!

Journalist reaching out
editHi Soulpatch,
I'm Alex Lubben, a reporter currently enrolled in Columbia University's master's in journalism program (I was previously at Vice News).
I'm working on a project about climate change on Wikipedia, and noticed you were involved in some of the early edits to those pages. I'm hoping you might be willing to talk through how those early conversations unfolded.
You can reach me by email at alex.lubben@columbia.edu. (Sorry If I'm using the talk page incorrectly, still learning the ropes here.)
All best,
Alex — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexlubbenvice (talk • contribs) 23:54, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
