Industrial Agriculture

Hi SV, I added some ideas on March 20th for new content for the Industrial Agriculture article in the talk section. I was hoping to get some feedback. Would you mind taking a look and giving me your initial thoughts on the tone and direction I was going in there? Thanks for any help.--Agrofe 22:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BLP edited by the LP

As best as I can tell, the man behind the BLP article Archimedes Plutonium is editing his own article under User:Superdeterminism. Are there any guidelines/policies/restrictions that speak to this? Keesiewonder talk 02:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

:Image:Barbarash.jpg

Hi SlimVirgin. Image:Barbarash.jpg is likely to get deleted since it's deemed replacable fair use. I can see you once contacted ALF about freelicensing - did they ever reply or should we try again? --Lhademmor 08:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And while we're at it: We need ones for Rod Coronado and Robin Webb as well, since they are also copyrighted. I'm sure the ALF should be able to help there? --Lhademmor 08:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perverted-Justice.com

The reversion wars from early 2006 are starting up again, could use your eyes and opinion on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Perverted-Justice regarding what looks like an upcoming reversion war. My contention is that including criticism from (largely) 2004 while censoring published response is not proper neutrality for an article. A shame too, the article had been peaceful for the last ten months or so after actual neutral Wikipedians rewrote it. XavierVE 08:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

David Icke

I have read the rules. Please review the following:

Exception: Reverting unsourced or poorly sourced controversial material about living persons (see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons)

Please respond to the numerous reasons I've posted on the discussion page why the information you keep reverting to the article is inaccurate. I will repeat them here as you have yet to respond to one of them:

The dubious number of 1000 provided by his own organizers and 'substantial audiences' is not footnoted nor qualified. The idea that this proves he is 'popular in Canada' is absurd. Please quote the line that says his ideas are popular in Canada. A 'substantial audience' does not mean nor imply popularity. Substantial compared to what? The point is not popularity, it's the fact that even such limited numbers can present a significant revenue stream

Please familiarize yourself with our rules regarding attribution. Particularly rule # 1. Interpreting the paragraph to mean that makes him popular in Canada is an opinion and constitutes original thought. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not an editorial. Ghettodev 09:10, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The mailing list

Did the Community discussion page get passed along the mailing list and at IRC? If it's just the same people talking who have already been talking at ATT, we won't be doing much. Marskell 09:24, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rasputin vandalism blitz

Nicely done with the sprotect of Grigori Rasputin. User:168.216.113.163 & User:168.216.113.129 seem to be embarking on a little spat of vandalism (see also the Athelia stub &, of all things Jeff Foxworthy). --mordicai. 18:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

Already did so, Jossi agreed to stop reverting, so leaving it on would be punitive rather than preventative. Trolling or not, though, you just can't undo seven edits unfortunately. I hated to do it, believe me, Jossi's a great guy. If you like, since I'm not involved with that page, I can keep an eye on it for disruption, if that's already been a problem from him. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if you care to get involved with this again, but we seem to be running around in circles on the Talk:Lewis Libby page again. I'm concerned that things are starting to get personal as everyone just keeps stating their positions over and over. Could you weigh in, or perhaps get some other non-interested parties to voice their opinions, or at least help us reach a resolution? Thanks. Notmyrealname 04:15, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Muahaha!!!

I have kidnapped your little man & am holding him hostage at my talk page! (This is not an actual ransom note JSYK...) I've always wanted to have a conversation with you (you really are a mentor to us newbies...), but have never gotten around to it. Nothing starts an aquaintence than a little hostage situation... Muahah... :) Thanks, Spawn Man 08:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, your name is slim virgin after all... ;) See you around... :) Spawn Man 04:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You seem to be pretty involved in the Animal Liberation Front article, so I thought I would bring to your attention my post on its talk page regarding the ALF logo. Since you uploaded the original ALF logo, I thought your input would be especially valuable. Thanks! MithrandirMageT 04:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

help please

Yourhelp in making this: [1] as NPOV as possible is appriciated. Zeq 06:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Darvon cocktail

I noticed you speedy deleted Darvon cocktail a short time ago for the primary reason that the information was dangerous. I'm not in favor of suicide, but it really feels like censorship to me. Also, the very similar article Suicide method has been nominated for deletion several times and been kept each time, it seems irresponsible in my opinion to delete the article without a discussion. Could you restore it and nominate it for deletion instead? Vicarious 13:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No include

No problem... that was my only useful wikipedia edit in a long time. I keep getting drawn into this addictive Wikipedia namespace, but there is one thing you might be interested in. I created a very rough essay on what can be learned from Citizendium. I actually think they have some nice ideas, and I'm believe you will like the essay, even if the writing is bad :) --Merzul 13:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:No original research

Hi, I'd like your opinion re Wikipedia:No original research. Currently, this appears to prohibit citing other wiki pages (wiki is tertiary; sources must be pri/sec). This seems to me to be madness: for example the GW page sez: Global temperatures on both land and sea have increased by 0.75 °C (1.4 °F) relative to the period 1860–1900, according to the instrumental temperature record. Is that banned, to use ITR as a source? Literal reading of the policy (as some are doing) would appear to say so. It seems mad because if interpreted that way we are forced to endlessly re-cite stuff from sub pages William M. Connolley 18:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your replies there... but they appear to be incompatible - see my talk William M. Connolley 19:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC) & again... William M. Connolley 22:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In a perverse way...

...I'm sort of having fun. Coppertwig has taken me to 3RR here. How maintenance edits count as reverts, I'm not quite sure. Marskell 20:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not edit pages in my user space

...except my talk page, where I'd be happy to discuss the wording "attributable ... not whether it is true" with you. If you believe you have a justification for editing in my user space, please feel free to discuss that with me. --Coppertwig 01:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for the tone of the above message. --Coppertwig 21:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ra'anana

I promised not to touch the Ra'anana page, and I intend to keep to that promise. Yesterday user 68.156.22.2 made extensive editing to the page. Most of the material reads like it has come directly from the marketing department of the municipality. Cymruisrael 11:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Muhammad al-Durrah

Just a heads up that there is a mindless edit war going on at Muhammad al-Durrah. All are invited to participate! KazakhPol 12:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Skyring

Hi, i have noticed that you have had problems with a user known as Skyring in the past. I just wanted to inform you that he seems to be up to his old tricks and i think an administater needs to look into Skyring. A quick look at his edits will indicate that he has contributed nothing of any note to this site and appears to be obsessed with date formats. It would also appear that he has looked at my recent edits and changed them just to be annpying. I don't like having to do this, but after looking at his block log i really don't think he's adding much to the site. Thank youCEP78 03:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your mistaken edit to Zombietime

The deletion of this unsupported speculative OR based ref is discussed here. link You claimed it wasn't discussed in talk. Wrong. I explained in detail, and at length. Please do not reinsert this multiple WP violating ref. Thanks. - FaAfA Aloha 09:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Swine Image

Hi SV, I noticed that there had been a switching back and forth of the swine image between you an some other users. Did you get a chance to review my comments about the im age you are posting? In never heard back from you on that particular issue.

I don't think your image is representative of Industrial Ag/Factory Farming. I think we should remove it and discuss finding one that is more realistic. What do you think?--Agrofe 12:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zombietime OR

I posted about our difference of opinion regarding OR in Village Pump 'policy'. Is that the best place to post my concerns? If not where is? Thanks. I'm aware of 3 RR. - FaAfA Aloha 21:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
