Science article editing and deleting:

You calmly admit you are NOT a chemist, yet you presume to comment on the contributions of a particular chemist to the study of kinetic isotope effects, intramolecular or otherwise? With respect, let's leave editing of articles related to science and scientists (other than simply copy editing for grammar and punctuation) to the scientists who contribute here, and leave the copy editors in their place: to edit copy for factual, grammatical, or punctuational error. You have no more business indicating what is good science, bad science, notable science, or even useful science, than I have directing a film or conducting an orchestra! Further, the continued insistence on counting citations - no matter that the searches for same are often superficial at best, as journals list authors in many different naming conventions - as a substitute for genuine scholarship - again, by copy editors, it would often appear, who are experts in their fields I am sure, but darned straight not necessarily in mine - is highly problematic.

As this is, of course, a talk page, you (or anyone)can delete this comment at will. I do suggest, with respect, some thinking take place as you do. Some of the scientists you all have selected for deletion of recent have been nominated for the Prize more than once, despite relatively scanty publication records measured against the science factories that often produce high volume at the expense of insight or quality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.41.22.222 (talk) 23:13, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about--could you clarify what article you're talking about or what action of mine you're objecting to? --Nuujinn (talk) 23:21, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Did you mean to support this viewpoint? Because you have [1]. It is not clear from your summary which view you think is strange. Polargeo (talk) 18:23, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Your question

I wish you luck getting a real answer, because this clearly wasn't one. How serious of a situation is this discrepancy? Reasonably interpreted as a slip-up?—Kww(talk) 13:29, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Can't say yet, haven't opened the book. Figured I'd try to get an explanation first, then verify the reference. --Nuujinn (talk) 13:40, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, I've looked it over twice now, can't see any justification for use of it as a source for that article. Time to do some additional digging. --Nuujinn (talk) 18:21, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Hate to say it, but I was pretty sure that was true once he ducked your question.—Kww(talk) 20:15, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

I as well, CW is obviously very bright, so I'm sure he's capable of understanding the nature of the question. And he's been editing, but has not responded to my follow up question. Hopefully he'll come around to realizing that these issues are not going to go away. --Nuujinn (talk) 21:05, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

I'll be surprised. After all, there's no policy demanding that he answer your question. That means it will also be very difficult to get people to agree that his evasion of your question is a sign of ill intent.—Kww(talk) 21:12, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but I'm not at all concerned about CW's intentions, just his actions. Many of the diff brought up in the RFC are arguable. Regarding this, I don't know what CW was thinking or why he provided the particular source. Skookum is correct that the source does not support the assertion that Monterey Park is a Chinatown, but it does substantiate the fact that some people did consider Monterey Park as the "suburban Chinatown", a characterization which the author refutes. I can't see the article, so I don't know anything more than that, but I could see that sourcing as arguably valid. But I see no wiggle room at all with the other. I've been checking other edits, most seem reasonable or good, but we do clearly have some at this point that are just bad. --Nuujinn (talk) 21:20, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

policy change

You just beat me to it, this is the discussion related to the desired change, I don't think a couple of people is a policy changing discussion either. Off2riorob (talk) 21:46, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that discussion and then the policy change, didn't seem like a good idea. I hope you have a fine holiday this year, season's greetings! --Nuujinn (talk) 22:18, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks, yes, you too, enjoy yourself, best wishes. Off2riorob (talk) 22:23, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Cognitive analytic therapy

Hi there, I have made some expansions to this article and added some appropriate references. There are a great many potential reference sources but sadly many are in academic journals and won't be accessible to the average reader - I will try and find the most accessible sources I can. My redraft isn't finished, but I wanted to make a start to demonstrate that there is something notable to talk about - could you have a look and, if you agree it's improving, would you agree that removing the PROD is reasonable now? I will continue adding more material and references either way. Best wishes, Kim Dent-Brown ^(Talk) 11:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I think if you're working on the article, pulling the PROD is fine. --Nuujinn (talk) 16:32, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks will do! Kim Dent-Brown ^(Talk) 17:32, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Remove inappropriate content. Please see edit history and content removal per WP:TPNO, and User:Bondiveres/User:64.85.252.225/User:Sgaran, specifically no personal attacks, and do not misrepresent other people. It might also be considered vandalism. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 17:19, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, first of all, I'm curious as to why the size comparison interests you, and why you are asking for my opinion in general. Secondly, I would suggest if you suspect a sock, reporting the issue to SPI would make the most sense. --Nuujinn (talk) 03:04, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nuujinn. I'd like to let you know that I'm abandoning the IP address I've been using (as it is a public IP address that others could use) and will be shifting to an account. I created the account a while ago, but never used it much, having mostly edited as an IP.
