Koko

Good luck with that, I wish I could help you more with the Koko (Gorilla) article, but I've too much on my plate at the moment. I want to tell you what you are up against. What everyone believes about Koko, that she can use language, is actually false, a fact knowable by you. All you have to do is Google around and find any quotation by Koko that says anything which to a reasonable person constitutes clearly meaningful language. How is it possible that, after all these years of language use, you won't be able to find even one quote from her, even "Me banana want" or anything less, even, that will satisfy you that she can use language? Everything Koko does is explicable by her having learned that Penny will feed her if she makes sign-like motions, isn't it? Don't take this from me, research it for yourself. If Patterson had any proof, why doesn't she make it public? You can find a video of her answering a question, "Why don't you answer your critics?" Penny says that she doesn't feel obligated to deal with such negative people who refuse to believe things without proof! This is a scientist?

The problem is, how to write the section on Patterson's claims? I recommend just gathering the facts on the animal's biography, and stating the facts about how she got famous and what Patterson did claim, without ever giving the impression that it is knowably true, and therefore at least possibly false. Otherwise, the masses of people who believe Patterson's claims will demand proof that it's not true, and you'll have to cite something definative.Chrisrus (talk) 06:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DREAM Act

Thanks for the reminder -- I recall the issue and had meant to return to the article to look at it in further depth but in the end forgot to do so. I haven't gone back to the page, but my recollection is that the editor was trying to highlight the fact(?) that the provisions of the legislation applied to legal immigrants and undocumented or "illegal" aliens alike, so the article shouldn't focus exclusively on those in the country illegally. I think the editor was asked to provide a source for the claim, but, if I recall, the source offered was simply the executive summary of the legislation and didn't specifically refer to the issue that was the source of the controversy.

I have a feeling, perhaps unfounded, that there is possibly POV-pushing at play here, especially as regards the issue of terminology, but I have to plead ignorance about the legislation and so can't be sure. My suggestion would be to consult some articles on the bill to see whether what the editor claims is accurate. If the issue is one of terminology, use the terminology that most commonly occurs in reliable sources on the topic. If you feel your changes are likely to be controversial, explain them in advance on the article talk page and see if other editors want to contribute to the discussion, then make whatever changes you feel appropriate. Remember to use an edit summary in which you briefly explain the rationale for your changes and direct editors to the article talk page for a fuller explanation.

Your comment on the user's page is a good starting point. However, this editor appears to be a new user and may not be familiar with the use of a user talk page and so may not respond. --Rrburke(talk) 02:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Parookaville, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page EDM (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

September 2020

Information icon Thanks for contributing to the article AV1. However, do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Thanks! P.S. If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you.—J. M. (talk) 15:39, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

December 2020

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Peter Hitchens, did not appear constructive and instead you misused sources to push a narrative that is not supported by the sources that you quote. Therefor you directly misused the wikipedia and spit on it's mission. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you still consider misusing the wikipedia to push your personal agenda consider a different medium for your personal opinions, since the sources you quote are not supporting the narrative you are pushing, and thus wikipedia is not the place for your politics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:1084:BFE0:95F8:FED6:E188:8D6 (talk) 00:05, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@2A02:908:1084:BFE0:95F8:FED6:E188:8D6: Hello, sir. I encountered your edit during pending changes patrol. So right off the bat, that means that page receives a lot of vandalism. I stand by my original revert, because your edit was clearly not neutral point of view. You can't say things like "X person failed to deconstruct Y things", especially when he wrote an entire book trying to do that.
However, I did take a second look at the article just now. And the wording you were trying to change (the original wording) isn't very neutral either. It uses the POV word "fable". I have gone back and changed that sentence to something more neutral. [1]
Nothing personal, sir. Just doing my job. Which is to review edits on high vandalism pages, and revert anything that does not clearly improve the page. I hope you find the new wording satisfactory. Thank you. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:55, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Garrison Page.

The news sources used to describe Ben Garrison are negatively biased toward him. He describes himself as a Conservative libertarian not an "alt-right" extremist. Please refrain from using strongly politically biased sites like the Guardian or Daily Beast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.241.8.21 (talk) 19:58, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello sir. I reverted your edit because you did a search and replace of "Trump" for "Kim Jong-Un" article wide, damaging 7 areas of the article. [2] If you make just your "far right" to "conservative libertarian" edit, I'd probably be fine with that one. Feel free to edit it right now if you want. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:04, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Both The Guardian and the Daily Beast are on our reliable sources list. I think this is more a word choice problem than a source problem. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:09, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Why do most of the Wikipedia have an anti-liberatarian and anti-conservative bias — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.241.8.21 (talk)
You did it again, sir. You replaced Trump with Kim Jong-Un on this talk page. If this is not intentional, you should check your computer and browser for viruses. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:10, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your revisions accepted at Al Horford

Hi. I noticed you accepted several revisions at Al Horford which didn't provide reliable sources. Please see WP:BLP (biographies of living persons policy), as on biographies, unsubstantiated claims such as these are not appropriate. I've reverted them. Thanks. Silikonz (💬│🖋) 21:03, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Silikonz: I just figured he changed teams. Sorry about that. Pretty subtle vandalism. I'll be more careful on that article in the future. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Glad you noticed. Thanks. And do be more careful when reverting/accepting pending revisions. Silikonz (alternate account) (💬│🖋) 21:35, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
