Stanley Cup Finals editing

I am not trying to vandalize articles. I am just trying to include every player on the roster. I have even cited sources to back up my statements that these certain players were on the roster when their team won the Stanley Cup. The link here,[1] is an example of a reliable source that proves my statements. The picture in the link actually says 'Courtesy: Carolina Hurricanes' . 108.0.244.168 (talk) 19:01, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Adding things without consensus is a very bad idea. It is being discussed at the hockey project, please take it there before more edits. Dbrodbeck (talk) 19:09, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

What is a consensus? What is wrong with being bold and citing sources to prove facts? It seems that I am easily misunderstood. Are sports news sources with official pictures illegitimate? 108.0.244.168 (talk) 19:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

That source, for instance, proves nothing at all save for that player was on the team's roster. As it happens, no one disputes that. The statement that requires sourcing -- which you are unable to provide, because none such exists -- is that the player actually played in the Finals, which he didn't. Ravenswing 22:00, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Is it fine to list and cite players like Colby Cohen and David Gove as being on the roster, but not appearing in the Finals; as well as mention that they did not qualify to have their name engraved on the cup, but were included in the celebration on the ice? Even my later revised edits got reverted even though they stated that they did not make an appearance and had citations. I cited sources that stated that they were on the roster, didn't appear, did not havee their name engraved on the cup, but were in the team picture. I don't understand this about the later revised edits that stated that they did not appear being reverted. 108.0.244.168 (talk) 00:01, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

I think you are better off taking this to the hockey project page where more people will see it. Dbrodbeck (talk) 00:24, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

I already did, and I haven't heard anything. 108.0.244.168 (talk) 04:11, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

I need a lot of help when I edit ice hockey articles, I still don't understand everything and make too many repeated mistakes. I do not try to make up my own definitions or vandalize articles. 108.0.244.168 (talk) 07:22, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Rob Ford sig disappearing act

Sorry. My bad. That appears to have happened inadvertently when I was moving HochMeister's ramblings. Of course, I could be part of the MSM conspiracy to 'disappear' you. :)  Natty10000 | Natter  12:04, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN WHY DID YOU DO THAT YOU ARE CENSORING ME..... You took out the spa tag too, not sure if you want that put back in or not. Sometimes I think we need a template that explains that wikipedia is a bit different than say comments on youtube...Dbrodbeck (talk) 12:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

There wasn't any intent to censor anybody or anything. You happened to have posted your comment on the talk page while I was trying to make sense of the mash that was Hochmeister's postings and while I thought I'd gotten everything you posted, evidently a small bit got snipped inadvertently. That's the unfortunate reality of editing a contentious page like Rob Ford's happens to be just now. There was no malice aforethought nor any intent at censoring. My apologies.  Natty10000 | Natter  12:20, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Oh damn, my sarcasm did not come through. I was doing an impression of HochMeister.... Sorry! Dbrodbeck (talk) 12:32, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Given all the touchiness surrounding that particular Wiki entry, absent a smiley one can never tell. May122013 is a good example of someone on that brief responding seriously in the tongue-in-cheek manner you did. I think some of the inmates are trying to run the asylum. And for good measure, within the day I wager we'll hear from May demanding that the whole crack thing be immediately and permanently excised from the Ford entry.  Natty10000 | Natter  12:46, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

You may be right but I think we have a pretty decent consensus. I am hopeful, but.... Dbrodbeck (talk) 12:49, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Natty personal attacks such as referring to my posts as "ramblings" is wrong. I haven't started an edit war. You folks did and will not prevail.

Give it up and just be yourself204.237.25.252 (talk) 13:13, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

I have noticed on my 'talk' page that you have warned me of a 3 revert rule. It is you folks that are doing the editing, and gaining up on me by each of you doing a deletion to avoid contravention of the 3 revert rule. This is my first time posting on wikipedia, and you folks are being,...well bullies for lack of a better term. You folks not only make threats, and make defaming statements on your talk pages, but you make contributors shy away as some self appointed gate keepers. The casting call is vital to a balanced and impartial reporting of recent issues. If the crack video allegations are to be posted then so are the casting call ads.HochMeister (talk) 13:19, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Morgellons

Hi Dave, I just wanted to let you know that I left User:Drgao a very detailed message regarding my concerns about his disruptive editing behavior at Talk:Morgellons, see here. To do that I pored over every diff involved, and I hope you don't mind me saying but that article's Talk page could also benefit from seeing your comments there also mellowed out a bit... Take a look through the diffs I left at Drgao's and see if you don't agree. As you know it's one of the touchier articles that's on our Watchlists, nobody's been perfect at that Talk page, avoiding unnecessary poking at the hornet's nest by everyone will help...

I have done my best, but I shall endeavour to do better. Dbrodbeck (talk) 04:18, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm the one you just reported for trying to include the "actual wording" of the CDC study. It states in the study done by the CDC that the fibers they found consisted of 83% protein. Why do you have a problem with me correcting to include this information? I am not trying to edit war with you. I am new here and got my warning about that so I'm being careful to cite the source that is already used but not fully disclosed as to its content. Read the study and see for yourself. Look on page 9 under the label "Analysis of Fibers or Materials From Non-biopsy Skin Site" , the second sentence states "The materials were largely composed of protein..." then it him and haws around that fact with unscientific conclusions of 'probably' and 'likely' and 'possible' without any scientific evidence of fact to support these conclusions which is why the following peer-reviewed study, "Characterization and evolution of dermal filaments from patients with Morgellons disease" stated in their conclusion that although the CDC study was useful in finding the protein, that their conclusion does not reflect the body of their work.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodneye9110 (talk • contribs)

Aryanization of Slavs

The article 'Aryanization' does not need to have anything about Slavs even mentioned, the Slavs were regarded as Aryan so how can they "become" something they are already part of? Think logical it's the exact same as fire can't be water. The definition of Aryanization is:

Aryanisation (Arisierung in German) in Nazism, which literally means "to make Aryan", was principally used to refer to the expulsion of the so-called "non-Aryans" from Nazi Germany, Austria, and the territories it controlled.

During the Nazi period Jews gave up their businesses for minimal compensation. At first, this was voluntary; it became mandatory in 1937-8. The compulsory expropriation of Jewish industries, businesses and shops.

often refers to the Nazi policy of taking away businesses and property owned by Jews, and turning it over to "pure" Germans.

The expropriation of Jewish businesses and property by the German authorities as well as similar measures by other Axis nations, including Romania and Slovakia.

Please explain to me how that has anything to do with Slavs?

Also the cited book Europe at War 1939-1945: No Simple Victory (p. 167) says this: "ones were judged capable of Germanization and those in the lower ones, including the Slavs, were classed as untermenschen, or 'subhumans'. In reality the Slavs are nothing more than a linguistic group. But the fact that various Slavonic nations - such as the Russians, Poles, Ukrainians, Czechs and Serbs - make up the majority of Eastern Europe's population, heralded a revolution in the region's ethnic national patterns. According to the GeneralPlan Ost, which the SS drew up in 1940, the racial reconstruction scheme was designed to stretch as far as the Urals, with millions of undesirables being expelled to Asia and Siberia. But for practical purposes, the key question was how much time would be given for the plan to be implemented?"

How has this got anything to do with Slavs undergoing expulsion to become 'Aryan' when they were always regarded as Aryan and it was nothing to do with Germanisation or anything else... please tell me why 'Aryanization of Slavs' makes 1) any sense 2) needs to stay.

I've shown you clear evidence as to why it needs to be gone, its utter rubbish. Why persist on keeping it there?--Runes Of South (talk) 14:04, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Indenting on talk pages

Hi Dbrodbeck - I notice that you changed the indenting of a group of comments over at Talk:Morgellons; I've put them back. Just for your future reference, the standard is to indent each comment to one level more than the comment to which it responds, and not simply to indent each additional post. (See also WP:INDENT.) Over at Talk:Morgellons#Hypothesis About the Fibers, for instance, the original post was unindented (no colons). The first reply, from AndyTheGrump, replied to that original post, so was indented once (one colon). My comment also replied to the original post – and not to AndyTheGrump's comment – and so was also indented only once (one colon) and not twice (per your change).

Hope that helps; this seems to be a relatively common misconception or misunderstanding about indenting in threaded discussions. Cheers! TenOfAllTrades(talk) 16:20, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
