Reverse Innovation

Hi, I have tried to rewrite the portion on reverse innovation w/o copying it from the blog www.vijaygovindarajan.com. I believe this is a critical new concept in strategic management and innovation, and would appreciate help for anyone on how to write this in a better and more informative way. I'm sorry I deleted the section at the top that was a message to me. I hope you can help me create a decent entry base don the articles I reference. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christiansarkar (talk • contribs) 07:05, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

your removal of United States Senate testimony on water fluoridation

Hello,

Video of Dr. J. William Hirzy speaking before the United States Senate on water fluoridation is most certainly relevant information for a Wikipedia article on "Water fluoridation".

It is most certainly not "vandalism", as you say.

Please inform me in more detail what issue you have with this link, and why you would be permitted to remove it from public view on Wikipedia:

Intelligent Anti-Fluoride Statement - Dr. J. William Hirzy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRLz4a7lDVM

It is not conducive to the article, since it adds nothing to it. CardinalDan (talk) 02:32, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Please could you outline what's wrong with my new article? Cheers.

In all seriousness, what is the flaw in my article?

Thanks for your time, mate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cromwell526 (talk • contribs) 07:02, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

The major problem I see is that what you are talking about is not really notable or relevant in terms of Wikipedia, nor is it very informative. To me, it seems that it is more of a humorous nugget, not really anything that can be made into an article. It probably is better suited for a user subpage, not an actual article.

March 14 alleged vandalism

My updates were not vandalism. Please indicate why you feel they were. Shoebucket (talk) 03:41, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

See WP:NOTABILITY. CardinalDan (talk) 03:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Are you suggesting that a Wiki page need be created before the addition is made to March 14? I still do not see how this in any way constitutes as WP:VANDALISM, as no deliberate attempt was made to "compromise the integrity of Wikipedia". My edit included a reference to a pop culture observance of March 14. Shoebucket (talk) 03:56, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Considering that all you were doing was adding an event that is non-notable, as well as one considered as a joke, I think I am justified in reverting your edits. Making baseless accusations also does not reflect well on you. CardinalDan (talk) 04:53, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I ask again to please indicate how it is non-notable. It is a valid reference to a pop culture observance. Shoebucket (talk) 15:27, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Let's see, no significant 3rd party coverage, no reliable sources given, no independent sources given, and no verifiable evidence given. One website given (a joke one at that) does not presume notability. CardinalDan (talk) 06:22, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

bias?

Please explain why an EPA Senior Vice President's testimony on water fluoridation before the US Senate is somehow "not conducive" to an article on water fluoridation.

here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRLz4a7lDVM

You stated above that Environmental Protection Agency Senior Vice President Dr. J. William Hirzy's testimony before the United States Senate on water fluoridation "adds nothing" to a Wikipedia article on the very same subject. This is a appears to be a nonsensical statement.

Please explain. It appears you are using your position as an editor to promote personal views.

Is there someone else I should be speaking to?

Considering that the article in question is about water fluoridation, and the video in question is anti-fluoridation (which is clearly not NPOV), this should be under Criticisms of water fluoridation. CardinalDan (talk) 02:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Packers Plus Energy Services

Hello!

I've been trying to write a page for Packers Plus but the disclamier for it sounding like an advertisement is still on the page. I've edited it a few times but the disclaimer is still up. Could you maybe tell me how to rewrite it to make it not sound like an advertisement? Thank you!

Damn!

You beat me rolling back that Alan Grayson vandal!! haha Good job! A8UDI talk 06:42, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Why so harsh?

I will ask again. Wikipedia policy says to assume good faith and not to bite the newcomers. By threatening repeatedly to have me banned, I do not feel your actions consistent with these policies. For you to assume that I have not acted in good faith is rather presumptuous, but I suppose in your mind, a lowly contributor with a mere 4 edits can't possibly have anything to contribute here. I see now that Wikipedia is nothing but an elitist club, a playground for people who think like you. There are all these supposed "policies" here but I see many editors are not becoming of these. 174.21.0.5 (talk) 06:13, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Considering your actions, especially on the Joe Lieberman article, and the attack that you placed on my talk page, I must assume that you are a vandal. Now, if you would start constructive edits, then I may change my opinion. CardinalDan (talk) 06:15, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

If you knew Joe Lieberman you would know that my edit was entirely factual and that I acted with good faith. 174.21.0.5 (talk) 06:19, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

A violation of BLP is not factual. CardinalDan (talk) 06:20, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

The claim: For something to be factual, it must not violate BLP.

Quote from BLP page:

• Neutral point of view (NPOV)
• Verifiability
• No original research

To disprove your statement, we must only conjure up a true statement that is one of the following:

• Non-neutral -- the truth has a known bias.
• Not verifiable -- see also Goedel's theorem.
• Original research -- so if I research something on my own, it's not factual? I'd better start researching gravity so maybe I can fly.

We all know a vast majority of truths fit in to one or more of these categories. Of course, if something does not fit your convenient view of the world, you will threaten to have the user that proposed it be banned. 174.21.0.5 (talk) 06:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Considering your edits, you have violated BLP by making a malicious redirect and adding a blog link as a reference (which is not allowed in most circumstances). CardinalDan (talk) 06:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Blog link in question has a video of the subject backing up my claims. Oh, let me guess, you didn't bother to view the citation... 174.21.0.5 (talk) 06:58, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I already looked. Removed since it was from a blog (for the most part, blogs are not allowed as references), and the link was clearly not NPOV, since it clearly is an attack. CardinalDan (talk) 07:04, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Cosmic Ray

I'm new to Wikipedia. I made an edit on the Cosmic Ray page. I looked at the history today and saw these new entries (including my entry):

(cur) (prev) 06:30, 29 October 2009 CardinalDan (talk | contribs) m (38,650 bytes) (Reverted 1 edit by 117.204.89.40 identified as vandalism to last revision by JosephMonroe. using TW) (undo) (cur) (prev) 06:30, 29 October 2009 117.204.89.40 (talk) (38,665 bytes) (undo) (Tag: possible test edits) (cur) (prev) 05:03, 29 October 2009 JosephMonroe (talk | contribs) (38,650 bytes) (undo)

Can you tell me what's going on? Is someone stating that I am vandalizing the page? I'm not following it. The reason I inserted a "citation needed" is explained on my talk page. That statement of about the "cosmic ray being a misnomer" cites a page in an academic press book. When I searched that book there is no such mention defining that cosmic ray is a misnomer. Not anywhere in its 133 pages.

I became alerted to this fact, as well as concerned, because I searched the exact phrase and found the false citation used in over 1000 websites. They are using what they found in Wikipedia, a statement that cites a non-existent definition.

I'd like to know how to contact the individual that entered that citation and ask them to re-verify the source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JosephMonroe (talk • contribs) 18:40, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, you didn't vandalize the page, it was the individual after you who did and his edit was the one that I reverted. You didn't do anything wrong. As for your question, do you have a references that would confirm what you are saying? CardinalDan (talk) 19:29, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

When I searched for the definition of cosmic ray and cosmic particle, I found numerous exact quotes of: “The term ray is a misnomer, as cosmic particles arrive individually, not in the form of a ray or beam of particles.”

The source of that “misnomer” quote, is cited as reference as 1.^ National Research Council (2008). Managing Space Radiation Risk in the New Era of Space Exploration. National Academies Press. p. 21 ISBN 030911380

I located the entire text on the National Academic Press website. I downloaded the entire book, in PDF document of 133 pages, “Managing Space Radiation Risk in the New Era of Space Exploration.”

I looked at page 21 and there is not a phrase about “term cosmic ray is a misnomer.” In fact in the entire document there is no such mention of that nor the word “misnomer” anywhere. This document even has a glossary and they don’t list a definition for cosmic ray..

There are at least 457 websites that use this exact phrase (“The term ray is a misnomer, as cosmic particles arrive individually, not in the form of a ray or beam of particles.”) quoting something regarding the definition of cosmic rays. Many of the websites are academic, science websites and others one would typically hold in high esteem. Many reference back to Wikipedia. So unless I missed something, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of websites, blogs and PDF documents using the unsubstantiated source in Wikipedia.

That statement simply does not exist in the cited text. But, I didn’t feel comfortable enough to remove the statement. I’d prefer to locate the individual who inserted it and question his/her source. Although I looked at the subject source myself and didn’t find it, I am for now giving them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps the statement is valid but the source cited was an error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JosephMonroe (talk • contribs) 19:51, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

There is no such quote or resemblence to that statement in that text on page 21 or anywhere in the document; "Managing Space Radiation Risk in the New Era of Space Exploration" http://www.nap.edu/catalog/12045.html JosephMonroe (talk) 19:58, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

New to Wiki

Hello,

I am writting a page for a nonprofit organization. The title of the page is Wine to Water. I am new to wiki and want to make sure I follow all the rules and dont offend anyone, but I am new so am unfamiliar with all the rules. can you please help me. I noticed the page I am working on was taged with a few things but am not sure how to fix them.

Wine to water has recieved a great deal of attention in the local, national and international media. This is due to its recent large expansion and the president of the organization being a CNN top ten hero. If you can offer any guidance or if you see me doing something wrong please advice me on my mistakes. thank you for any help.

My talk page

Hi, I saw you reverted some stuff on my talk page. I have no idea why this person is removing everything and why I'm the only page they're even doing it to. Very odd indeed. Thanks though. DX927 (talk) 02:48, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Did you anger a vandal recently? That's my guess. CardinalDan (talk) 04:44, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

No clue. I'm a moderator at a forum. So that was my first thought (someone from there who got banned) but the IP didn't match anyone. I'll just keep my eyes open. DX927 (talk) 04:53, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

If you keep getting harassed by the same vandal, then you can make a report for RPP or request a checkuser if multiple IPs vandalize you talkpage at the same time. Otherwise, just stay on watch, and get the occasional laugh at their attempts. CardinalDan (talk) 04:57, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
