Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited University of Phoenix, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Higher Education Act (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The following message is an advisory, it is not a warning. You are not being punished, ridiculed, or derided. Please continue all helpful editing practices, cheers!

Hello Lesbianadvocate. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JamaUtil (talk) 13:25, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Shelley Adler, née ?

I see that you've just done considerable work on Shelley Adler. I've been doing some work on it myself, trying to arrange things in a more chronological order and NPOV'ing things.

Have you been able to find a source with Adler's birth name? I assume that she changed her name when she married John Adler; but I haven't been able to find the names of her parents. Hope that you've got better sources than I can find. Ammodramus (talk) 22:19, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

I am trying hard to find info on Adler but there just aren't many sources.Lesbianadvocate (talk) 13:16, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

I had the same trouble. I was also trying to find dates for the early-life section: birth date, dates of graduations, dates of clerkship, date of marriage, etc. No luck at all. Good luck-- Ammodramus (talk) 15:04, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

If you leave Cheri alone...

"Lesbian Advocate,"

I don't know if you work for a conservative PAC or the RNCC, but you clearly spend hours per day (paid, I would hope!) editing wiki articles to either make Republicans look better, or Democrats look worse. Some job -- sad, really. I attend college, and our computer labs are open, each computer with its own ISP address I believe. Either way, there is no way you can block me from using them to revert your edits. I will just keep creating new wiki accounts from new gmail accounts (takes 2 mins). Either leave Cheri's page alone, or expect this war to continue!  :)

I am not a paid staffer for anyone. I'm a college student and a strong Cheri supporter. Schilling supporters have been so juvenile and childish -- egging her office (google it if you don't believe me -- hey, and then add it to her page!!) and screaming obscenities late at night as they drive by her headquarters -- all documented. They have also sent trackers being super aggressive to the point of insanity. Shoving cameras in her face and the faces of her staffers asking about partial birth abortions. I know it's not fair to you, but this little wiki war fun I'm having is just my way of standing up to Schilling. I realize you work for a national org., prob. in D.C., and are not directly affiliated w/ Schilling.... but.... wrong place, wrong time I guess.

You can do anything you want to Cheri's wiki page after the election, but until then, I'm not going to have even one person in congressional district 17 log on and read about how Catholic bishops are against her and how she is forcing Catholic hospitals to provide contraception. The way it was phrased on her page was a distortion. By election day, there will have been 3 televised debates in our district, as well as numerous newspaper articles summarizing her positions and Schilling's positions, so there is plenty of information out there for even the lowest information voter to latch onto in order to make a reasonably informed decision. I do not have any control over paid or earned media, but I *do* have some control over her wiki page, and I'd rather keep it issue-free than risk even ONE voter being given skewed, biased, partisan, or in any way editorial information about issues central (or NOT central, as the case may be) to this election. I realize your information is sourced, but it's not just that an issue is sourced or not -- that is not the concern -- it's which particular issues you are choosing to cover that is biased, and how they are presented.

If you can figure a way to find out which college I am at, and have all the computer lab computers banned from wiki, then you can stop me.... otherwise, you'll just have to deal with it.

P.S. Your handle is what really has motivated to stop you, because it's intentionally and inherently MISLEADING!! You are not a lesbian (unless you are Dick Cheney's daughter, perhaps....in any case, certainly you are no lesbian *advocate*). Your handle actually nicely exemplifies the work you are doing on wiki.

ANI discussion

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Edit warring, POV pushing over several pages. User:Norlns22. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 20:24, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Lesbianadvocate

I don't know what you mean by sock puppetry. Then again, I'm not being paid by a Conservative PAC or the NRCC to sit on a computer all day and think up edits to make Democratic candidates appear in the worst light possible. I feel sorry for you and your life in its current existence/ version. Maybe you should try grad school?? Nationalavenue (talk)

P.S. Cheri Bustos is up by 4 points.

Threats, vandalizing articles, edit warring, and sock puppetry will get you blocked. And I have nothing to do with any interested party. I live in Hong Kong for God's sake. Lesbianadvocate (talk) 09:26, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
