Hello Padenton,

I wrote an expansion of the definition of conspiracy theories and believe it was wrongfully deleted. The original definition did not cite a source but provided an explanation (as I did) and a few hyperlinked examples. The writer himself asserted that conspiracy theories cannot be proven by historical record but did not address how conspiracy theories fail to be proven at the time of their creation due to dismissing forces. Also, the writer discusses how they conspiracy theories go against consensus but that defines conspiracy theories as any unpopular idea. Evolution is also an unpopular idea which goes against consensus in many countries but is not suported as a conspiracy theory, rather a theory supported by sound scientific arguementation (some wrongly labeled conspiracy theories incorporate proven facts but are unable to achieve full validation).

I can upload a new expansion with a full list of citations later. I am concerned about the language used in describing conspiracy theories and believed that my addition addressed some aspects of conspiracy theories which were not given proper attention. Again, I would be happy to rewrite what I submitted with full citations, however I think you should apply that same level of scrutiny to assessing the entire article, which to me read as biased and inadvertently equated sound theories such as those posed by the 911 truth movement with actual conspiracy theories such as theories about extraterrestrials.

My point is that this as well as other articles on conspiracy theories deserve a full-review.

Jennifer Lawrence

Thank you Paddenton! I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves XMen, and yes, not my page, but still, thank you for correcting the Jennifer Lawrence thing. :)50.26.136.217 (talk) 19:17, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Young Democrats of Hawaii

Aloha - I am new to Wikipedia. I was trying to flesh out some history for Young Democrats of Hawaii which is an affiliate of the Democratic Party of Hawaii, but it was deleted so speedily that I never had a chance to contest or correct my submission. This is an organization that has been in existence for more than 50 years, is an affiliate of both the Democratic Party and Young Democrats of America, and has produced dozens of notable political figures including at least two state legislative members (in my original version) and more who I was finding sources for when it disappeared. I was planning on also fleshing out other details of party history as well as I have a lot of Hawaii political biographies in my library. Please advise.

Hi CaptainMargarine, welcome to Wikipedia. This guide here is a good one to go by: Wikipedia:Your first article. As the guide advises, it might be easiest to start working on it within your sandbox, and once it's fully fleshed out, then creating a full article for it. If you don't have enough information for a full article, you might consider including it as a sub-section inside the Democratic Party of Hawaii article. --Padenton (talk) 23:57, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hi Padenton. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 04:11, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sadiq Al-Ghariani

Hello Padenton, I'm Samlibya. I have removed unsupported allegations on Sadiq Al-Ghariani, since all links points to websites without providing hard evidence about the accusations, rather than repeating the same text on different website!! you are free to check it your self. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samlibya (talk • contribs) 20:08, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Padenton,

You have deleted my changes to Sadiq al-Ghariani for the third time now although I did provide proper edit summary, I only removed parts where false accusation made without any legal evidence only links to other websites taking about these allegation without providing any sort of evidence Please note that this page supposed to provide information about this person and should not be used to address false allegation. Please consider my point as this might lead to legal action BR
