Thanks

Hi Stevan, I've posted the text below to various users, please copy it along to anyone you feel appropriate. BTW I had to laugh about your raising the AfD on the Brights! PS I like chess as well. --Michael C. Price ^talk 18:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Mega Society

I have requested that the Mega Society deletion be overturned here. --Michael C. Price ^talk 16:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Brights movement AfD

I noticed that some users felt that your AfD nomination of Brights movement was made in bad-faith and may have violated WP:POINT. Whether or not this is the case, please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy to make sure no future issues arise. Thanks. Paul Cyr 04:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

please note

please note the discussion on the biased name for war in croatia, http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:Croatian_War_of_Independence, which is proposed to be moved to its original title.

Prometheus Society and Epimetheus Society

Since you apparently are or were at one point a member of at least the former, I thought I'd address this question to you. What is the relationship between them? They're both high IQ societies founded by the same person, with apparently the same entry requirements, and an obvious relationship given their respective names. Yet the public portion of neither organization website seems to mention the other, and their respective Wikipedia articles are silent on their relationship. Perhaps you could add this information, or barring that point me in the right direction so I can do it myself? Mycroft7 (talk) 22:42, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

• Actually, other than the things you mention, there is no relationship between the two societies. StevanMD (talk) 08:49, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

• Alright, then. Perhaps you can at least tell me what's the difference between them. Why was the Epimetheus Society founded? What function does it serve that the Prometheus Society does not? Is it a splinter group or something? Mycroft7 (talk) 20:09, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

• It's not a splinter group and honestly, I do not know the exact motivation behind its founding, other than together with TOPS (99th %-ile), OATHS (99.9th %-ile) and Omega (99.9999th %-ile) it forms the Lewis M. Terman Society aimed at attempting research of various gifted, highly gifted and profoundly gifted traits. The only difference I see is that the listed societies all interact under a joint umbrella, while Prometheus, much like most other groups, keeps it to itself.

Things are back to normal

I'm not an experienced editor, I'm still prone to making mistakes[1]. But in our case, I've corrected myself, and mitigated any harm. Hope you'll discuss this with me at the talk page, over at where this started. Sentriclecub (talk) 18:30, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Epimetheus Society

The article Epimetheus Society has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The organization is not notable. No reliable sources about the organization can be found after diligent search, and most of the site content is conflict of interest material apparently posted by the organization. The article history and article talk page history diffs reveal other problems.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Proposed deletion of Cerebrals Society

The article Cerebrals Society has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The article does not meet the Wikipedia guidelines for notability of organizations. After diligent search and discussion on the article talk page, it appears that no reliable sources can be found about the organization or its activities. Therefore the article is proposed for deletion for lack of notability and lack of reliable sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of Cerebrals Society for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article Cerebrals Society, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cerebrals Society until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 02:17, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

What we need

Hi Stevan,

About the potential deletion of the Cerebrals Society: What we really need are sources like books, newspapers, and magazines about the organization. An article in a regularly published magazine (the society's own publications do not count) entirely dedicated to the organization's founding, history, or activities would make a big difference.

By contrast, if the independent media has never written anything substantial about the organization, then it probably doesn't meet Wikipedia's usual rules for stand-alone articles about organizations. In that case, the verifiable information could be merged to High IQ society. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:25, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Discussion about WeijiBaikeBianji's possible COI

(This comment is being posted to several editors who were involved in the AFD for High IQ society.)

I’ve just noticed the now-closed AFD for this article, and the concerns that were raised in it about WeijiBaikeBianji’s possible conflict of interest on IQ-related articles. I’ve also had some concerns about WeijiBaikeBianji’s editing behavior on these articles, and so have a few other editors who weren’t involved in the AFD, so I recently brought up this issue with Coren, one of the arbitrators. The discussion about this is here. Coren is offering some advice about how this issue ought to be handled, so he suggested that I contact the other editors who’ve been concerned about this possible COI.

One thing that Coren is suggesting is to start an RFC about WeijiBaikeBianji. Whether you agree with that suggestion or not, I think it would be a good idea for any of you to participate in the discussion in Coren’s user talk, in order to help figure out what the best way is to deal with this situation. --Captain Occam (talk) 18:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

The RFC/U is open now, and has been open for around a week. Are you going to participate there? I find it a little strange that some of the people who were originally asking for this RFC aren’t participating in it now that it’s open. --Captain Occam (talk) 17:40, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

We see how that ended. The referenced RfC. ArbCom decision about topic-opener here. All's well that ends well. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 03:42, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
