AfD Discussion

There is an AfD discussion here in which deletion of Planned presidential transition of Donald Trump has been mentioned. As a person who has edited that article, I'm informing you of this as a courtesy. LavaBaron (talk) 14:54, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Social media in the 2016 U.S. Presidential campaign

The article Social media in the 2016 U.S. Presidential campaign has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:OR, WP:SYNTHESIS, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:COATRACK. Un-encyclopaedic content

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Mahane Yehuda Market

Thank you for expanding and sourcing the section on Mural Art. I went and took pictures of the murals a few weeks ago, and just found my memory card today. I can post some images so we can delete the link to the Globe and Mail images. Yoninah (talk) 15:30, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

User:Yoninah wonderful.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:04, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

OK, I added 3 images. I shop at the shuk every week toward evening, and last time I spotted a mural of Jonathan Pollard! I'll try to bring my camera next time and post a few more images. Yoninah (talk) 17:00, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Lone wolf (terrorism), you may be blocked from editing. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 17:24, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Or, you could stop WP:OWN and cease whitewashing articles of well-sourced material you don't like. sigh.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:25, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Sigh. If you would be so kind as to show me where the sources for this "well-sourced material" describe it as lone-wolf terrorism, I'll never remove it again. Otherwise, I will continue to follow WP:Verifiability, WP:No original research, and WP:Biographies of living persons—and I recommend you do the same. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 18:33, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

This dispute over the attitude and imposition of an unreasonably stringent definition of lone wolf terrorism belongs on the talk page of the article. Sources were, of course, provided.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:16, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Sigh. Perhaps you've forgotten that when a request was made for a third-party opinion, that editor agreed with me that the sourcing was inadequate to refer to the two attacks as lone-wolf terrorism. Sigh. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 00:43, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I noticed that exceedingly few editors weighed in, and 2 of those who do regularly weigh in at AFD and elsewhere in attempts to delete articles and information about terrorism. Another editor agreed that a terrorist with an avowed ideological motive who acts independently of an organized group is a lone wolf terrorist.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:56, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

We probably need to call the attention of a great many more editors to agreeing on a definition of lone wolf terrorism. The 2 article in quesiton are 2016 Ohio machete attack, and 2016 Philadelphia police officer shooting.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:56, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Ahmad Thomson talk page

Dear E.M. Gregory, I'm sorry but I have reverted your good faith edit on the Ahmad Thomson article page regarding his drafting of a constitution for the Advice and Reform Committee. I have explained my rationale on the Ahmad Thomson talk page. I may be wrong about this, in which case forgive me, but I would rather err on the side of caution when dealing with controversies in a BLP.

Category:Dump Trump

Hi E.M. Gregory. I see that you have created Category:Dump Trump. I'm not sure it adheres to our policy of WP:NPOV, or WP:CAT. If I am missing something, please let me know, otherwise I think a rename, or possibly even deletion of the category would be in order.- MrX 17:01, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

• Mr. Hey there. So, while "Dump Trump" is the usual term in the mainstream media I read, I do see your point ans have renamed Stop Trump. Still not sure of name, although with 4 articles, I think a category is useful. I did think maybe: Stop Trump movement. Problem is, Stop Tump movement is one of the four articles in the category. What say?E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:15, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
  • It's best not to start with a pithy name. The name should describe the category of article which it will contain, for example Category:Political efforts to prevent Donald Trump from being elected President of the United States. Also, any new category has to exist as a child of another category, which yours does not. In other words, it has to fit within category tree. Categories are a little tricky, so you should carefully read WP:CAT and you may want to seek additional guidance at WT:CATP. - MrX 22:44, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
    • Done. thanks, Mr. E.M.Gregory (talk) 05:43, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Sadly for you

Your conspiracy theories don't reflect in real life and people who have a very low opinion of you and your propaganda and posturing aren't "sockpuppets" of one another.

I do understand that sock-puppeting is an infamous tactic of Palestinian-hating, Arab-hating, Muslim-hating pro-Israel propagandists. Perhaps you should consider the saying about stones and glass houses before you make any other kinds of accusations without merit. 70.27.162.84 (talk) 13:44, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
