37th Congress article has to show men there.

Some would count Texas seceded at the popular referendum, February 23. Nevertheless, in an Article about the 37th Congress, an account should be made of the men certified, seated and attending.

The detail is further down in the article, Texas Senators, Louis T. Wigfall (D), served until March 23, 1861, vacant thereafter. But John Hemphill (senator) (D), served to July 11, 1861, until expelled by Congress. His seat went vacant thereafter. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 04:14, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Reply

The portion of the article I corrected didn't say 'There was no one from Texas participating in 37th Congress when Ft. Sumter was fired upon.' It said that five states, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas were drawn "into the confederacy with their more Southern sisters". That's quite true of VA, NC, TN, and AR, but Texas had formally joined the Confederate States of America on March 2nd, 1861. It was over a month later that Sumter was fired upon. The attack on Ft. Sumter didn't draw Texas into anything.

Possibly the original author meant something like 'The attack on Ft. Sumter caused Senators and Representatives from five Southern states to withdraw from participation in the 37th Congress.' But regardless of what was meant, what was actually written was just wrong about Texas.Saintonge235 (talk) 10:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

The cite was from the History of the Senate webpage, quoting the retired Secretary of the Senate memoirs. Sumter is fired on in April, Texas' most esteemed jurist, John Hemphill, withdraws only on expulsion in July. Makes me want to find out his rationale. He, at least, apparently believed he was representing Texas in some way. While you are addressing the facts on the ground in Texas at the time, my guess is there was a mindset in the Senate and with its Secretary, that as long as Mr. Hemphill was present in the US Senate each morning, Texas was present in the US in some way. I would speculate there was an "inside the beltway" mentality in the Congress before there was a beltway. Towards concensus, I agree to your expunging reference to Texas in the narrative. It is well enough to have the dates of service in the Senate roll. Thanks for the good eye to chronology. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 11:37, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

2nd Reply

And thank you for the complement.

I agree, the Texans that stayed in Washington after March 2nd probably felt that they were representing Texas in some way. By staying they could look after the interests of Texas and its people, even if they personally believed that Texas was no longer part of the United States. If they agreed with the North that secession was unconstitutional, then they were doing the job they were elected to do. And there are other points of view they may have had.

I just felt that the article as originally written conveyed the impression, in that paragraph, that Texas hadn't seceded yet, but decided to secede after Ft. Sumter was fired upon, when Lincoln called for militia to suppress the rebellion.

Of course, the article was clearer down below, but not everyone reads everything. I think it's better to avoid creating possibilities for misunderstanding for those just skimming, or only reading part of an article.

In short, a minor correction, but one I think worth making.Saintonge235 (talk) 19:46, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

November 2012

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Watch on the Rhine (novel). Thank you.  Sandstein  18:32, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

• You've been reverted by two editors now--this last edit summary is correct. Please don't continue and edit-war. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:34, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Watch on the Rhine (novel). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.  Sandstein  16:24, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Watch on the Rhine (novel)

If you do not self-revert your edit here and take your concern to the article talk page I will have to ask for sanctions at the edit warring notice board. Tiderolls 16:40, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Editing War

I have attempted to work towards a consensus. When "Sanderstein" said that Wikipedia was not a good enough source for the fact that Dietmar Dath is a Marxist, I set about finding references to establish that fact. When "Sanderstein" said that Dath's Marxism was of dubious relevance, I replied that he the quotations concentrated on the novel's politics, and that in turn made the political opinions of the reviewers relevant.

Wikipedia claims that content must be neutral and verifiable. I believe it is neutral and relvant to describe Dath as a Marxist when he writes about politics, just as it would be neutral to describe him as an sf author when he writes the obituary of another sf author. If "Sanderstein" thinks he that I'm wrong, he could try putting forth an argument. Instead, he deletes material he doesn't like. Saintonge235 (talk) 18:18, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

You are mistaken. There is a discussion on the article talk page regarding your edits. You are the one that is reverting without discussion. Tiderolls 18:36, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Notification

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Tiderolls 18:32, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Edit-warring

Saintonge, you have been edit-warring in Watch on the Rhine (novel) since November 16, on and off. Technically, it's not a violation of WP:3RR as you have not reverted more than three times in a 24-hour period. Yet, you can still be blocked for edit-warring, irrespective of whether you have violated 3RR itself. It appears that you wish to insert content into the article, even though more than one editor has disagreed with your additions. It is gratifying to see that you have finally commented on the article talk page, but I believe that Tide rolls's request that you self-revert your last edit as a sign of good faith and then continue to discuss the content issues on the talk page is a reasonable one. If you fail to do that, you run the risk of being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:23, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring, as you did at Watch on the Rhine (novel). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Bbb23 (talk) 21:38, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date. Dreadstar ☥ 04:22, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Anita Sarkeesian shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Dreadstar ☥ 13:16, 7 November 2014 (UTC) _________________________ Dreadstar, you ask me to "consider using the talk page" to resolve my differences with others over my edit to the Anita Sarkeesian page. I left a message on the talk page explaining why I was reverting the edit that removed my previous edit. It seems to have been deleted too. Just how am I to resolve a difference with those who won't talk with me.

And concerning the "three edits" rule, I note that every time I have edited this post, my contribution has been removed by a different person. Again, how am I to resolve differences with people who won't discuss the issue with me?Saintonge235 (talk) 13:37, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

I can't find an edit to Talk:Anita Sarkeesian in your contributions. Can you provide a diff? Tiderolls 13:45, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

__________________________

Tide Rolls, I can't find it either. Maybe it didn't post for some reason. My edits were being deleted because I had allegedly used an unreliable source. I pointed out that Larry Corriea, my source on Utah gun law, is a certified firearms instructor for Utah. He had posted just what the UoU needed to do to legally exclude guns from Sarkeesian's talk. That is, set up a secured area with safe lockup for firearms outside it, metal detectors on the entrances, and guards. UoU could have done this, but didn't. I also noted that immediately after the claim that Sarkeesian cancelled because guns couldn't be excluded there was a sentence that cited the Washinton Post, saying Sarkeesian cancelled because UoU refused to put metal detectors on the entrances, which confirms Corriea's point.

While we're on the subject of reliable sources: Obviously, a newspaper editorial is a reliable source for the official position of the newspaper. A newspaper editorial or news story isn't necessarily a reliable source for the requirements of the law. Just look at the corrections columns most run. And citing multiple newspapers doesn't mean much, as so many news outlets quite understandably copy material from each other. So I find it rather odd that anonymous writings by individuals of unknown qualifications counts as a 'reliable' source because a newspaper printed it, but the statements of a man whose former profession required him to know the relevant Utah laws is rejected as unreliable. I strongly suspect bias, as Corriea's right-wing political views are anathama to many. But the question of what Utah's law requires and allows is factual, not political.Saintonge235 (talk) 02:20, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Book of the Garand

Greetings. I'm trying to track down anyone who might have a copy of Hatcher's Book of the Garand. I see you added a reference to it and so I thought you might have access to it. I'm trying to verify or improve a big chunk of text added to Pedersen rifle back in 2007. The nearest library to me with a copy is hundreds of miles away, so any help would be appreciated. Rezin (talk) 05:14, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

I got my copy through interlibrary loan. I not that Amazon has it, http://www.amazon.com/Book-Garand-Julian-S-Hatcher/dp/1934044253/ and http://www.amazon.com/Book-Garand-Julian-S-Hatcher/dp/1614273359/ for around $10.00 plus shipping.Saintonge235 (talk) 10:15, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for that info. I don't have free ILL at my library and hope to avoid spending money to verify one old article. (If I was going to buy one of Hatcher's books I'd want to get his Notebook - it sounds like a classic.) There's another active editor who's cited the Garand book, so I'll check with him. Also, free free to make any improvements to Pedersen rifle - the complaint is that it goes into unencyclopedic speculation. If it's anything you know about you could probably do better with it than me. Rezin (talk) 17:06, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

If you send me the information you need verified, I can get the book out again and look it up. I'll have to look at the Pedersen rifle material in a day or so. Busy trying to make repairs to an appliance.Saintonge235 (talk) 19:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Gee thanks! There's absolutely no rush. The material in question is the big addition made in this edit: [1]. While verification is important (and maybe making sure it isn't just copied), it'd be nice to maybe find a way to make the text more concise. Right now it devotes a lot of space to "legacy" and other side issues. It's a tricky topic - while it was perhaps an influential design, and was built by a famous designer, it was also a unsuccessful prototype with only a dozen or so rifles built. Maybe the information on field strippig is overlong too. You're an experienced editor - see what you think. FYI, I'm just pursuing this because a "suggestbot" put it on a lit of articles needing attention. User:Rezin/SuggestBot So this is just part of general project improvement. Thanks again for helping out. Rezin (talk) 21:21, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

OK, I've requested the book from interlibrary loan. When it get here, I'll look at the material. "The Book of the Garand" has a fair amount of interesting stuff on the Pedersen, and the reasons it was rejected, but I wouldn't want to depend on my memory for the article.

Thanks! If I may, I'll leave it to you to improve the article however you see fit. It's a fascinating topic, but the article itself may not be written in the usual encyclopedic style. I'll move on to the next item on my list, but feel free to pull me back in if you need any help. Rezin (talk) 17:10, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Kamala Harris

Hello Saintonge235, not sure what happened here where you added 247kb of text to Talk:Kamala Harris, but I assume it was a mistake, and reverted your edit. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 17:48, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

I think I see what happened, now. You have been an infrequent visitor to Wikipedia, lately, and two edits prior to the one where you added 247kb to the page today, you made this edit also at Talk:Kamala Harris on August 15th at 09:13. At that point in time, the Talk:Kamala Harris page was in revision 973092037, and was 258,633 bytes long. After that edit (and one more unrelated edit to Transistor) you went away for a month, coming back today, with the intention of making a small edit to Talk:Kamala Harris. When you started, the Talk:Kamala Harris page was 14,734 bytes. You found that one of the tabs in your browser still contained the page, left over from your August edit. Either it was already in edit mode, or else it was open to an old revision of that page (url with |oldid= param). You edited the page, adding a few bytes, and saved it. But, this saved the August 15th version of the page that was still in your browser, back when it was 258kb long, along with the small changes you intended to make to it. If you believe that this is not what happened, please explain as best you can, what you think occurred; if there is something else going on, we need to address it.

Your change has been reverted, so the page is back to 14kb again. This means the change you intended to make today is gone, and you will have to reinsert it, if you still wish for it to be visible on the page. Mathglot (talk) 18:22, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
