Please take my name off your list of "involved parties". I'm not a party to any of your disputes involving cults, Larouche, transcendental meditation or anything else. Commenting on the evidence presented in the RfC/U does not make me a party to your own disputes - I don't think it's fair or reasonable to rope everyone who participated in the RfC into an arbitration case that I want no part of.

Peter Damian

He's admitted to it on the ASKE mailing list, so surely we can mention his name? I admit I really need more support on fringe archaeology articles, he does have a point. Dougweller (talk) 18:04, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Its the whole WP:OUTING being pushed to the limit. One of the people on Jimbo's talk page got slapped on the wrist for indicating it was PD based on WikiReveiw post. It got oversighted and 36 hours later I do the same and its oversighted. The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 22:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weird. I guess you could say the IP claiming to be him and saying he didn't care about being outed was an imposter, although I know he doesn't care. I have some sympathy for him except for his false claim I tried to get him banned elsewhere. Dougweller (talk) 05:29, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BLP Deletion

Hi ResidentAnthropologist. I noticed that the article that you incubated/adopted had been deleted under code G6 by orangemike and was wondering if you knew this, or if you had gotten too busy to work on the article with me. I have been working on it on my userpage as I had sent you the link for it to look at in comparison with the article that was incubated. If you could kindly let me know if you abandoned the effort or if this was not what you wanted. Not sure how this works on wikipedia. I had thought that these articles were not to be deleted on user pages unless requested but if you decided to abandon it, that's cool, I understand. I will continue to work on the one I put on my userpage and if you have time to look that one over and leave me a message on my talk page about anything, I would appreciate it. Thank you again for your time and effort. Theonelife (talk) 21:15, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Didnt know you were still interested in it or and had assumed it had been abandoned. I can get undeleted its no problem at all. The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 21:16, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's not necessary, if you would help me with the one I have on my userpage from the link I sent you on the talk page that would be better...I thought it had been cut up so bad and anyway, I have been working on the one on my userpage since that one was incubated. Thanks so much for your time Theonelife (talk) 21:21, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
by the way, here's the link..;)[Almine Barton]Theonelife (talk) 21:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for reinstating the article, and since you thought I lost interest in the article, I was thinking it wouldn't be appropriate to make any changes of the work I had done so far on your userpage. Would it be okay if I apply the content of what I have onto the Almine Barton page of yours and that way you can maybe be able to help me more with it in this respect. I hadn't lost interest, only shy to make any changes but it would make sense to do this that way you have the full article of the content for it on here and it might be easier to do that way? I can do that and then we can work to get this article going and out of your hair. I am also working to get more resources on content that isn't in it right now, I have to dig for a newspaper article on an award she won and so that is in the works as well. Thank you for your time. Theonelife (talk) 01:22, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd request that you keep your local version up so long as Theonelife remains interested in the article, whichever version she elects to proceed from. The version local to her is essentially the article as it was first put into article space, whereas this one reflects the work of several other editors, and preserves the edit history and Talk page of the article while it was live. This version thus might be a useful go-by for fixes, etc., if and when the article is put back up. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 11:23, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi JohnInDc, I do beg to differ on the article on my user page is very different from the first article I posted. I have read alot, done editing on another BLP and polished up from the original article that I first posted. The article that I requested to be incubated I felt alot of the edits were done simply without the understanding of WP:COMMONNAME, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC , WP:NOR, and WP:SELFPUB . I am not asking for anyone to come to my user page and edit it, but perhaps look at it and initiate a dialogue on the talk page about parts they feel are not wikipedia standards. However ResidentAnthropologist wishes to go with the one he has incubated it can be archived or I can update it to reflect the changes I have made. I do appreciate all the hard work and help others have tried to contribute to the article, I just needed more time and in my newbieness posted it before it was ready unaware of the 'naked links' policy as there is nothing in references section that tells anyone about it. I learned a big lesson from this, and have started to feel more comfortable in editing other articles. My great appreciation goes to ResidentAnthropologist for this help. Since I can't comment on JohnInDc's talk page since it doesn't exist anymore, is why I have posted this here. Thanks in advance for your help and time.Theonelife (talk) 16:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure why you couldn't find my Talk page, which is here: User_talk:JohnInDC. I'd still ask that ResidentAnthropologist hang onto this copy. Also for you, Theonelife - you might find it useful to look through the Talk page discussions that are still there, as well as the edit history and summaries, to get a sense of the sorts of things that were of concern to other editors (many of which, as best I can tell, remain in your current draft).

Request

Hi Resident Anthropologist, I’ve seen that you have posted periodically on my talk page and have provided input in a few matters where I’m involved. Could you could assist in an editing matter? I just posted a response regarding an edit I proposed on the David Miscavige page. Could you check into http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:David_Miscavige#Tom_Cruise_section and provide some input? Thanks.NestleNW911 (talk) 23:31, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Nestle, I suggest taking it to Biography of Living persona Notice Board I know a couple of people there who would take interest in it. I think There is a larger meta issue involved here in how we treat such material of "X says Y and then published by Z" with no analysis or attempt on the sources part to confirm or deny allegations.

Anthropology

I have a few questions about anthropology. If you are willing please drop me an email. (This is very loosely wiki related) --Guerillero | My Talk 02:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)  Done The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 00:44, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What is "non authrative"?

Referring to your recent edit in Cult checklist, what is "non authrative"? How to determine whether a writing is "non authrative"? Do you mean that "non authrative" people cannot support Wikipedia? Thank you in advance. Ancos (talk) 06:23, 24 May 2011 (UTC) Furthermore, are you "non authrative"? Ancos (talk) 06:25, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I know. There is a reason I don't post there as its a rather toxic environment that fosters drama.

Prior involvement

I'm bringing this to your attention because of your role as a neutral/uninvolved view on the Southern Adventist University article. This pov was made because Fountainviewkid canvassed for it. Wouldn't this be gaming the system, and what can be done about it? bW 00:31, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like back to WP:ANI The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 00:32, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ugh. Alright then! bW 00:34, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
@BW, I have a feeling this might be Arbcom case if given time to fester. I am actually rather surprised we got the 1RR done so fast its unusually proactive for ANI. The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 00:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, BW's the one been reverting and adding more POV in. Fountainviewkid 00:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The fact you followed him here speaks volumes. The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 00:41, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The fact he came here in the first places speaks even more volumes. Fountainviewkid 00:56, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that you are gaming the system speaks the most volumes, as does your WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality regarding this article, as was evidenced by your replies to Mojo and everyone one else who does not agree with you. bW 01:02, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Look who's talking about gaming the system and WP:BATTLEGROUND? The guilty violator himself. I replied to them to help clarify and explain more details, things that Donald and others understand. Your repeated edits and warring on several articles testifies to your purity on these issues. Fountainviewkid 01:06, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BW has made another controversail revert adding Historic Adventist to the Southern article. This is an extreme description, that generally does not apply to official denominational schools. That is more than 1 RR in 24 hours. Fountainviewkid 01:19, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do want me to do? The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 01:19, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really expect you to "do" anything. This was more for information (or to combat false information). I'm keeping to my 1 RR on the Southern article, but it's hard because BW has already made several changes that are extremely POV and unsourced (more so than the whole "progressive" controversy). Do you have any advice though? Fountainviewkid 01:23, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dont revert discuss on the talk page. Thats what is there for. I personally agree with it but thats neither here nor there The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 01:25, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to discuss, but he won't. He'll just keep on reverting through, or he'll make some off handed comment and try to defend his "reversions". So you really think Southern fits the category of Historic Adventist?? Because generally that category is reserved for the most extreme segment of the SDA church. Southern is a denominational school and such isn't truly "historic" as those institutions tend to be "self-supporting". Also he removed several valid references not directly related to the progressive. Fountainviewkid 01:30, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think part the problem is that everyone is being extremely confrontational here as this thread demonstrates. The Label in question is potentially accurate, though I would agree its not the more extreme end the spectrum. I would advise starting Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal case. I think what is needed here is neutral third party to sit down and moderate of your conversations. That can be extremely useful. The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 01:41, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
While Conservative may fit Southern, Historic Adventist does not. I don't know how to do Med Cal, but I can try and work on it. Thanks. Fountainviewkid 01:59, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry if I seem confrontational. That is not my intention at all. I am simply tired of controversy on what I expected to be a relatively simple task to take to good article, instead, it becomes a battleground for no good reason. I'm also sick of the repeating myself, over and over again, to an editor who doesn't come up with policy arguments and yet keeps insisting on his side. bW 01:54, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

and that is why I think the mediation Cabal can help I dont think it would hurt to try. I think FVK has been equally confrontational in this which has caused the problem to escalate. The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 02:00, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just trying to keep the Southern article from having certain undue statements in it some of which are rather negative yet not very important. And why remove only my "personal attacks" but not anyone elses on here? I'm not the only one making accusations. Fountainviewkid 2:13, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
I'd be happy to do mediation, I have never gone through it before and it seems rather time consuming but I will participate as I can(finals! ack.). Do participants get any say in who the mediator is? I can't tell from a quick look... bW 02:18, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion

Thanks for starting a discussion at Talk:Views of Lyndon LaRouche and the LaRouche movement. You've made a number of assertions in the thread to which I've replied with questions, but you haven't responded with any answers. For example, you write that the article is a coatrack of material from opponents. I've asked you to identify that material and those opponents, but perhaps you missed that question. You've written that some material is irrelevant, but you haven't said which. It'd really help if you could participate more in the discussion to describe your concerns more specifically, since you initiated the proposed move.   Will Beback  talk  19:15, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reply

Sorry, ResidentAnthropologist, but I think it is more constructive to stay focused on this particular article with regard to the merits of retaining it on Wikipedia in generally its current form — rather than engaging in tangential debate about various camps involved. I think that is for the best at this point in time. The article had three AFDs, all before I performed any expansion or sourcing work on it — all three failed to get the article disappeared. Two proposals have been proposed on the article's talk page — to either stub the article or merge it and/or make it a daughter article of something else, or indeed, make the article about something else entirely — and consensus from the community of over twenty editors commenting appears to oppose both of those proposals. Best to focus on that for the time being. Thank you for your polite tone during this matter, I really appreciate it, very much, -- Cirt (talk) 00:13, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Ganas core group believes, and so do I, and so do the detectives they have hired, that Eroberer IS "the name that cannot be spoken".

My wife and I are located in Hillsboro Village and would be happy to give you a ride to the local picnic if you're relatively near us (my address and full contact information are all on my Davis Wiki profile). Plus enough established history and information to establish that we're not axe murderers, even if my Wikipedia history is thin. Leaving a message on my DW profile or the no-account-needed-to-edit GnomeHQ profile will automatically send me a message (or you can just email or call me).

Let me know. Either way, I hope to see you there. Thanks for your work in helping the world of open information.

Ever been to Chattacon? --Orange Mike | Talk 23:39, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chattacon here has been in decline in recent years, Con-Nooga far more popular locally. Chattacon has the more traditional feel of Sci-fi convention dealers, speakers, writers and such. What has pushed Con-nooga over the edge is their embracement of all things Nerdy, including Manga/anime, Video Games, American Comics, Sci-fi and all night parties. The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 16:07, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Which is why I much prefer Chattacon, aside from the fact that I'm the only surviving person who has been to every single one, including the first (where there were less than 100 of us). If I wanted to go to a media or anime or comix con or an all-night party with music so loud I can't talk to anybody in the room, I'd go to one.

I have never read the man's work, and don't know squat about him beyond what's there. I happened upon the AfD, and looked to see if I could find sources about him. I added what seemed relevant, which was mostly, but not entirely, positive. (I had nothing to do with that last section of the article.) So. Suggestions?

I try not to play the blame game, whatPublisher's Weekly has called him "an endlessly surprising, funny, and subversive writer" struck me as overkill. I almost put NPOV. Having reviewed WP:PEACOCK its probably not the best tag but it struck me as excessive to put a full NPOV tag on it. Its the problem with barely notable people, these all discuss his writing with out much biographical informations other than some people think he has written some great books.

I've done a bit of rearranging. I don't know if that helps or not. I think the commentary on his work does make him notable, but I obviously can't invent details of his life out of thin air. :/ LadyofShalott 22:06, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RFAR filing / LaRouche topic ?

Can you clarify where the LaRouche related discussion / controversy happened in this round?

I'm trying not to get down in the ugly mess there, but I couldn't remember any of that, and searched LaRouche in both the RFC and its talk page, nothing showed up.

If it's there that's fine, I just wouldn't want to burden a RFAR with everything under the sun if that topic wasn't actually up and going in this round of dispute.

Its the same damn core of editors every one of these topic areas and it repeats itself again and again.
  • Jayen, Cla68, Scot Mac,Delicous carbcuncle,and Myself have issues with Cirt in Scientology and Church of Scientology topic area
  • Cla68, Jayen466, have issues with Slim Virgin and Wills actions in LaRouche topic area
  • Jayen466, TimidGuy, Little olive oil have issues with Will in the transcendental meditation topic area
  • Will takes issue with my alleged COI in being "overly positive" with the Twelve Tribes communities article which Jayen466 and Cirt have done significant editing on.
I can list even more bullets here of the longstanding conflict and the exact editors involved
I am being bold here and lumping them together but do you really think this animosity manifested in the RFC/U is really something recent? No its there because a group of the same editors in different topic areas keep getting together and duking it out. It needs to end as it is harmful to both the community and the encyclopedia.

Ok. I know it's the same editors, but I just wanted to be clear if the current RFC had brought out that topic or not...

Its pretty clear which topic area Cla68 was considering a RCF/U for except for that one thing nothing else in the RFC/U. The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 09:00, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please take my name off your list of "involved parties". I'm not a party to any of your disputes involving cults, Larouche, transcendental meditation or anything else. Commenting on the evidence presented in the RfC/U does not make me a party to your own disputes - I don't think it's fair or reasonable to rope everyone who participated in the RfC into an arbitration case that I want no part of.
