Hi. When you recently edited Lovaza, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ethyl (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

TCM

Hi Zaphraud! I just read your comment on the TCM talk page. TCM (actually, alternative medicine altogether) is a topic which can make some people very emotional, and I can understand your frustration with sceptic comments like the one you reacted to. Just please remember, keep it civil. The term "idiotic" should not appear in WP discussions. Cheers, --Mallexikon (talk) 04:08, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Please take care when removing references. Google book links are considered appropriate when used to verify sourced information. They are not spam. If you think the book is not reliable for the information cited, make a case on the talk page or take it to WP:RSN. --Ronz (talk) 07:28, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Wow, way to dodge the facts. I'm pretty sure the commercial "for dummies" books are pop culture, not reference material, even if they're hosted on the most popular target for index spam on the planet ...Zaphraud (talk) 07:31, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Your full edit summary was, "spam cleanup: remove reference to pop-culture "... for dummies" books featuring direct link to google (search index spam, specifically)" Those are the facts. If you have other concerns with the reference beyond those you expressed in that edit summary, you should make them on the article talk page. --Ronz (talk) 04:54, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Zaphraud, is that you? There is a nice saying in German: ... Sage mir was du ißt und ich sage dir wer du bist. Lotje (talk) 08:01, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

yep that's one of the few German phrases I know.

Indigenous

I have come to the conclusion over the years that there is no way to refer to race in humans without offending somebody - no term is "neutral" unless it's so long and vague as to be useless - "the people who were living there at the time that people from Europe arrived" or something like that. "Indigenous" seems acceptable for the moment, probably something else will come along in a few years and it will change, and then that will change, etc. But "non-European" did strike me as wrong, sort of like "non-white" when talking about the scads of different peoples who live in the US. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 12:06, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Calling people felons when no source

What is wrong with you? Do you actually think it's a good idea to move WP:BLPs to titles calling them felons without discussion and sources, and to make changes calling them a felon in articles without sources? If you do this again I will take it to ANI because this is way out of line, IRWolfie- (talk) 08:52, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Adding material to any article, supported by RS, is one thing. Changing the article title as you did is quite another. Indeed, I was shocked. It was an injection of POV, pure and simple. – S. Rich (talk) 16:22, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

No, it's really what he's most known for, as of recently. This is probably a shock to his limited number of fans, but that doesn't change the fact that stealing millions of dollars is quite significant, and that the headline news, reported worldwide, reached far more readers in a single day than his publications will throughout all of time. Zaphraud (talk) 06:02, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

He plead guilty - the man himself admits it. That's what makes it not a BLP violation, but obviously you can't just go trusting felons as sources for wikipedia articles, so you will be relieved to know that he's got a page on fbi.gov too: [1]. Zaphraud (talk) 06:02, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

No it's not for you to speculate that a plea bargain makes someone a felon. Calling someone a felon in their article title, to define them as a person, is way out of line. It is a gross BLP violation. IRWolfie- (talk) 10:00, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

There's no speculation involved at all. Pleading guilty to a felony crime makes one a felon. It's the definition of the word! The only part of his trial that hasn't completed is the sentencing phase. That's where it will be determined if he is a prisoner or not. He's already a felon. Zaphraud (talk) 04:00, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

"Sheesh" is exactly right. Come on, you simply made an honest mistake in retitling the article. Say mea culpa and be done with this. – S. Rich (talk) 05:23, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

OK fair enough. Zaphraud (talk) 22:45, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Brian Dunning (felon) listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Brian Dunning (felon). Since you had some involvement with the Brian Dunning (felon) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). IRWolfie- (talk) 09:00, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Bismuth slag from pepto bismol.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!
