Jimmy Wales quote: "My point is, there is absolutely no need to impugn a real person with such terms as "liar" or "lied" or "hoax" or "fraud" and all the rest. We can and should refrain from personal attacks on *everyone*, at all times, as much as we humanly can. The point is, we treat everyone with courtesy and respect. You have no idea if this was actually the subject of the article doing this, or some enemy of his trying to make him look bad on the Internet. In any case, it doesn't matter. Not our problem. We are writing an encyclopedia, not calling people names. :)--Jimbo Wales 16:02, 30 September 2006 (UTC)"[reply]

But there are Wikipedia admins who do it with impunity. Good advice but the words have little effect.--Fahrenheit451 17:26, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DO NOT BOTHER LEAVING MESSAGES HERE. I NO LONGER EDIT WIKIPEDIA.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Fahrenheit451! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 736 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Robert J. Weber - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Werner Grossmann - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
William Gehrlein - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 20:58, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bucklin

You may be interested to know that there is a dispute about the Bucklin voting page ongoing. The issues are:

Can the term "Bucklin voting" comprehend systems which allow equal and/or skipped rankings?
If so, do such systems meet the IIA and Clone independence criteria?

(One possible answer to either question is that we can't say either way because we don't have relevant citations to reliable sources. In that case, we must choose what we can say.)

Your participation in the discussion might help us attain consensus.
