Working in Wikipedia

If you don't have access to a reference, please don't make claims that X is not supported by the reference. If you can't access a source you should ask if someone else has it and could provide it to you. (i got the Houglum book from google books, so you should be able to as well). I have a shitload of work to do and you have wasted my time. Jytdog (talk) 16:46, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

I literally said "or at least the associated quote." What do you think the quote is supposed to be, if not support for the sentences the citation is attached to? As I said in the talk page, the existing quote doesn't appear to be used support anything in the article. -tronvillain (talk) 17:33, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Here is what you wrote: "Ah, I see you've switched to the Houglom reference, which doesn't actually contain the quote you mention," So now in addition to not checking sources before you challenge content, you are misrepresenting what you yourself said. If you continue to do things like this, people will just start ignoring you. This is not a game, it is scholarship. Do your own homework. Do not waste other volunteers' time - it is the most valuable thing Wikipedia has (and my time is the most valuable thing I have) Jytdog (talk) 18:30, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Oh, that? Sorry, I meant that the attached quote didn't contain the quote you mention, not the text itself... which is why I suggested changing the attached quote. --tronvillain (talk) 18:41, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

And I wasn't trying to misrepresent what I said, I thought you were talking about(further down on that same diff) "Also apparently unsupported by its citation (or at least the associated quote) is 'She also saw the body as continually under attack from gravity; in her view, gravity tends to compress fascia...'." --tronvillain (talk) 18:55, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

So you are not even able to acknowledge that you raised all kinds of "concern" - in great detail - without having checked the source yourself. I have little patience for bullshit and none for people who double down when called on it. You get no more of my time. Jytdog (talk) 19:10, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Oh, I totally acknowledge that I didn't originally check the source myself... because I was talking about the quote attached to the reference. If the quote was just removed entirely, I wouldn't even have commented, but a large quote attached to a reference should support something in one of the three spots using it as a citation. Perhaps it was added as support of something else which was subsequently removed? Anyway, when you quoted a different part of the two referenced pages, I suggested changing the quote. And now that I've checked the source, it raises a few concerns of its own, as I mentioned on the talk page. --tronvillain (talk) 19:35, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

That

What about removing "that"? It is sometimes just extra verbiage and doesn't change the meaning. http://www.dailywritingtips.com/five-words-you-can-cut/

Follow up comment to your remark

Hi Tronvillain: That ED site certainly contains blatant, over-the-top, absurdly exaggerated statements about people and topics, in an attempt to appear humorous, I suspect. However, certainly on the JzG page, it provides a series of links to real, existing Wikipedia web pages / discussion pages that contain highly profane quotes authored by the admin. I'm sure I'm not mistaking what I'm seeing with my own eyes on Wikipedia discussion pages. So there evidently appears to be absurd falsehoods mixed with sprinkles of truth.

No trolling naturopaths please

Trolling is not allowed. Do your research on Naturopathy before editing. [1] From, NPOVarticleNow (talk) 03:05, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Accuracy is not "trolling." You just linked to Mercola, and there is essentially no source less credible than that. Try reading WP:FRINGE. --tronvillain (talk) 05:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Reason for fixing edit to The Daily Beast

Hi, I just wanted ask why you undid my edit to The Daily Beast article that removed the line referring to it as liberal because of it's source.Scholar200 (talk) 03:53, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

I undid that edit because The Daily Caller is an adequate source to establish something as subjective as it being described as liberal - there are countless other instances of it being described as such (usually by various conservative sites). That doesn't establish it as actually being liberal, which is why I have their self description there as well. --tronvillain (talk) 13:12, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Escape from New York

You are right—"Barricade" it is. I was basing it off my CD edition (not found at Discogs), which for some reason lists it as "Barricades". Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:05, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I suppose every time something gets retyped there's a chance something is going to be changed. --tronvillain (talk) 16:35, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm also thinking I might have a high-quality bootleg, since Discogs has no trace of my one despite the vast amount of versions. Nonetheless, good spot. Was there a source for that release date I had to revert, btw? I could only go by AllMusic. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:56, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

No, I was misled by the John Carpenter external link - they used the film's release date.--tronvillain (talk) 22:53, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Tronvillain, thanks for creating Edward John Cameron!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This has been tagged for several issues.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Horizon edit

I added information I compiled from several articles on the calculation of the distance to the horizon. You deleted it stating it was an unsupported opinion. But as a traumatic brain injury survivor, I don't understand things all the time. Can you explain what that means to you and why you applied it to my addition. What I read concluded that no equation is accurate enough to calculate the distance to the horizon because there are too many variables. These are what I thought were facts so can you help me understand. OK thank you and have a great day. Ldecarlo36@gmail.com Ldecarlo36 (talk) 10:15, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

The effects of atmospheric refraction are discussed both at the beginning of the section, and in the subsection below. The assertion "The earth is circular so no matter what way we look the curve should be visible in this coastal photo, but the horizontal line separating the ocean from the sky appears just as it is, a horizontal line with no visual evidence of a curve." is simply inaccurate - at sea level on a sphere, the math does not predict any visible curvature of the horizon line. --tronvillain (talk) 17:30, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Index medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed/PubMed Central

This is mistake? In other articles see Journal of Bacteriology, Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Experimental & Molecular Medicine.. --Мит Сколов (talk) 20:53, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Index Medicus exists as a curated subset of MEDLINE, so it seems very odd to have it first in the order. --tronvillain (talk) 21:02, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

..And PubMed Central? --Мит Сколов (talk) 21:14, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Is an archive of open access articles. PubMed is the search engine for MEDLINE. --tronvillain (talk) 21:22, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

What means "PubMed is the search engine for MEDLINE"? See: PubMed and not are MEDLINE https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/101600560 --Мит Сколов (talk) 20:18, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

See here. PubMed searches some other things as well, but its main component is MEDLINE. --tronvillain (talk) 20:27, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
