Hello, Sorry I forgot to state the reason I was removing those 2 sections. I was trying to clean up the page issues, as there are messages at the top of the page stating that the first 2 sections don't have references, etc. And that section wouldn't be able to have references since it is from over 30 years ago she was born, before there was internet.. so to remove that can also be a good idea, right? Will that help to remove the issues that are listed at the top? 182.253.154.92 (talk) 08:35, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Since you have a lot of experience, would you be able to help clean up the issues listed on the top of the page? 182.253.154.92 (talk) 08:37, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

@182.253.154.92: After reviewing the article, the subject does not seem to be notable so I put it up for deletion. Still, feel free to do cleanup on it. Thanks for bringing this up Datbubblegumdoe[talkcontribs] 09:12, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Empty edit requests

Just a food for thought, leaving empty edit request on the talk page unnecessarily clutters up the page and then it get archived with no information worth saving. I remove the request with an edit summary "Empty request" and the notify the requester using this template {{Empty edit request}}. No way am I telling you how to do things, just wanted to point out an alternative. P.S. If you use Twinkle the template will automatically add the pagename where you removed the request from.

Supremacism

The short description of racial ideology is too specific to account for a much broader behaviour. The group-based definition leaves out bullying and prejudice against specific individuals who have lower social status. Also, the word 'superior'. Superior at what exactly? Prejudiced individuals tend to think that their lives have more value or are more important than the targets of their prejudice. Soperthink (talk) 06:28, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Asking for Page Protection

To request page protection, I've been told twice now to "place" my request at "Wikipedia:Requests for page protection,” but what does that mean to place it there. Wikipedia:Requests for page protection" is a general informational page. Does Wiki really want users changing its help pages? By the way, I have also been instructed to "place" the request in the code of the page itself (the one that's being vandalized). Which is it and can I get clear directions about how to request protection? Scottedwardcole (talk) 15:25, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

It's not a help page, only the top part is instructional. Place it in the "Current requests for increase in protection level" section (which I see you have already done). Saucy[talkcontribs] 19:13, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Saucy supporting vandalism?

Why did user "Saucy" revert a page back to its vandalized/incorrect state while another user was currently seeking protection from that particular form of vandalism? Why is Saucy placing outdated information on a user page (when already being made aware the information is inaccurate/outdated)? Scottedwardcole (talk) 15:35, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

I only reverted it once, when I was unaware of the conflict in that article. Saucy[talkcontribs] 19:13, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Democratic debates–previously deleted

Hi, for some reason you weren't notified about this, but I've tagged your redirect "Democratic debates" for deletion-this title was discussed back in a previous election cycle and felt to be too vague to be a valid redirect. You can take a look at the discussion but I think this is still valid given the number of "Democrat" or "Democratic" parties worldwide, not to mention the number of topics that could be considered to be a "democratic debate".

Hey, there. I noticed you uploaded the logo of Team Trees ([this). I'm just wondering how you were able to get that logo. The official logo is this, which I found on the website (https://teamtrees.org/images/logo-teamtrees-full.svg). I think it should replace yours, as this is the official logo. Melofors 01:33, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

@Melofors: A PNG version of the current logo was actually the original logo used when the page was first created. It seems to have come from their Twitter account. I then changed it to the logo used on their website since it was available in SVG format. But since this logo appeared small on the page, I decided to recreate the original logo in SVG format, which I did by laying paths from the logo on their website onto the PNG logo. Saucy[talkcontribs] 04:33, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
@Saucy: Ah, okay. What are your opinions on the website logo I sent being used on the article? They are both official logos, so I’m conflicted as to which one should be used in the article. Melofors 04:41, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
@Melofors: Personally I prefer the current logo a little bit more, since it's bigger and easier to see, but I don't really care that much about which one is used. Saucy[talkcontribs] 04:47, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

@Saalberg af traam: "Rvv" stands for "revert vandalism". I was also reverting someone else at the same time. The reason I reverted your edit as well is because it was not constructive: you switched the correct forms of a/an with the incorrect forms. Saucy[talkcontribs] 08:33, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Agnostic Atheism

Saucy, how is the Agnostic Atheism piece not encyclopedic at all? First off the term "Agnostic Atheism" does not even appear in the Britannica Encyclopedia. Secondly, I quoted from the Stanford Encyclopedia.

So tell me how it is not encyclopedic. I also wonder if you are doing the reverting for Hunter, since he has already reverted it twice, and now is having others do it for him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madjess (talkcontribs) 04:19, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

@Madjess: What I meant by unencyclopedic is that it did not use a neutral, encyclopedic writing style or tone. It reads more like an argumentative essay than a Wikipedia article.
Furthermore, the entire point you were trying to make is not encyclopedic in general. Wikipedia is descriptivist, not prescriptivist. In other words, the point of Wikipedia is to describe how things are, not how they should be. Many people in the real world identify as agnostic atheist, you shouldn't argue that it doesn't actually exist just because it doesn't make sense. Many things don't make sense yet continue to exist.
If you really want to make such a fundamental change to the article, you should get a consensus on its talk page first. Saucy[talkcontribs] 04:47, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Agnostic Atheism

Saucy, that is your opinion only. I have cited professors from Stanford University, Harvard University, and a book and URL's from Oxford.

Before I started editing, I found out that there were many problems with this piece. Please refer to the talk page on "Agnostic Atheism." [1]

@Madjess: Isn't that just those professors' opinions too? A large number of people (those who identify as agnostic atheist) clearly don't agree with their opinions. Saucy[talkcontribs] 06:33, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
@Madjess: Also, Wikinights left a message on your talk page a few hours ago and I would like to see your response Saucy[talkcontribs] 06:48, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Agnostic Atheism

Saucy, if you research the piece thoroughly and check my sources, you will find quotes from Professors such as Paul Draper, Professor of Philosophy/Religious studies at Purdue University, who then quotes another person. And if you click on that source, you will find other sources.[2]

Agnostic Atheism

Saucy, I am finished here. Not one University that I have come across uses "Agnostic Atheism" as a valid term. And as far as the Professors opinions, if you would check their sources there is a ton. Plus in one quote the Professor, quoted from another author, (which was included by the quote from the Professor). In addition nearly every single one of the sources are recent. As opposed to the original version of this article which has archaic sources, some not reliable, one done by an Orator, (that is the only thing he is known as), etc.

If you and Wikipedia thinks it's okay to define a term that is not accepted in any scholarly circle, do so. It doesn't matter to me. This only started out as to make a point, but then I got further involved.

There will not be a consensus on this from people who are not Scholars.

Wikipedia is not an accepted source in any scholarly circles. It is not accepted in Middle School, nor High School nor College, nor any research paper, or any dissertation, nor actually anywhere except by people on social media, who think Wikipedia is a better source, than Britannica, the Oxford Press, The Stanford Encyclopedia, Harvard University, etc. I never use it as a source. I hadn't edited a Wikipedia in so long, like 15 years ago, I don't even think they show in my history, but my edits still exist today under the subject of "Jean Calas" and the "Qurasyh."

By the way, what do you think those authors most of which have little education that are in the original piece are doing? They are giving their opinion, without the knowledge that a Professor has that has a PhD.

I also did check what Almy stated, "You did not research the Oxford definition or reason out Dawkin's claim that an atheist must be certain that God does not exist. However, you did combine the two source's claims."

First off, you can not research a primary source.:@Almy: Secondly, I did not use Dawkin's claim in the article, I only used it as one example from the talk page on the term "Agnostic Atheism". Thirdly, Almy stated and I quote: "otherwise your edit was otherwise fine." Since Almy sent me that message, I corrected a number of things.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Madjess (talkcontribs) 09:20, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

So you who can't even reveal your real name, your credentials, because obviously you have something to hide, (like you are not qualified to do such work), and others like you can have Wikipedia all you like. Since I am a published Author, Scholarly Researcher, and my work has appeared in many places, I've worked as a reporter for the Dallas Morning News, I have been published in Nationwide magazines, and more recently, I am on the Board of Directors for "The Center For Pluralism" in Washington, D.C., where my work gets widely distributed, even all the way to the President, who has used my work in his State of the Union Address, etc.

One last thing before I go, there is a consensus among Universities that the term "Agnostic Atheism" is contradictory, and is taught as such. Just because people here who use pen names, (oh and by the way, if you check my user page, I updated, last week, giving all of my personal information, which you obviously are afraid to do), but I guess people with their PhD's and Post Doctorates, don't count.

I can only say adios, and I will be publishing a piece on this experience, I guess I will have to use you pen name, and state it as such.

I wonder if Encyclopedia Britannica, or any other actual credible Encyclopedia, University, etc. would allow someone to publish their work using a pen name.

Sayonara! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madjess (talkcontribs) 09:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Saucy, as I write an article on this experience, I wanted to share some more thoughts. You claim that a number of users have complained, yet you don't list the source of this information.

Just because there are some people who want to call themselves "Agnostic Atheists" today, does not mean it is an acceptable term, which it is not in any scholarly circle. By the way I am wondering what Adrian J Hunter's credentials are. Are you saying that his credentials at least equal or go beyond the credentials of Professor Paul Draper of Perdue University, which are the following:

In addition Professor Paul Draper, has published and or edited approximately fifty pieces, is continually doing research,[4] but his work is not good enough for Wikipedia? Okay then, it just further confirms where Wikipedia stands in regards to scholarly research.--Madjess (talk) 18:02, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

You take me out of context. It was me, not Almy. I did not say "otherwise your edit was otherwise fine." The full context is: "though I would have fixed the errors, not reverted, if your edit was otherwise fine," implying that I did not think your edit was otherwise fine.
Many of our most experienced editors and administrators are anonymous. Wikipedia does not give experts a pedestal in discussions, see Wikipedia:About: "Wikipedia is written largely by amateurs. Those with expert credentials are given no additional weight." Wikinights (talk) 18:40, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Wikinights, And that is the problem with Wikipedia, it is written by amateurs who make up their own definitions upon weak research and archaic information, (not in all cases, but definitely this one), because they want to use a term which is no longer acceptable. Which actually deceives the public who use Wikipedia as a source, (which I do not). And no Scholar does either. (Oh and by the way, since you admit you are an amateur, I don't appreciate you or Almy, reverting my edits, when you just admitted you're amateurs, and if Wikipedia does not give any weight to people who have actually worked as editors, (which I have edited a number of books), it just proves that this encyclopedia, is really a piece of junk. And Wikipedia allows misinformation to be used by the general public, because they don't know that it is done by amateurs. In fact when I started telling people on social media this experience and giving them links, they were shocked, they didn't even know all of this which we are currently discussing.--Madjess (talk) 19:05, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

In addition, unless you have taken Journalism, Creative Writing, or any variation of, you are not qualified to make edits. I personally take my work seriously, and I will not put something out to the public that I have no education in. This first book is the 'bible' for all writers, "Shrunk and White:The Elements of Style." It is a quick reference book for all writers.[5] Now for further studies on writing and grammar, this book is more of a textbook and goes into much further detail on proper writing and grammar.[6]--Madjess (talk) 19:54, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

If you think Wikipedia is garbage, then don't use it. No one is forcing you to. But Wikipedia being freely editable by anyone is part of the entire point of Wikipedia. "You are not qualified to make edits" is nonsense on here. I know you think that's a bad thing, and that's fine, that's your own personal opinion. But in my opinion, Wikipedia being freely editable by anyone is actually one of its strengths. If you see something that can be improved, you can just fix it yourself instead of hoping someone else eventually gets around to it. Wikipedia is never going to be completely 100% accurate. It's not some repository for scholarly articles.
Wikipedia is community-driven. As you said, "there will not be a consensus on this from people who are not Scholars." If you know other editors won't agree with what you're doing, then don't do it. Saucy[talkcontribs] 01:44, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Saucy, I am not talking about other editors, agreeing with what I am doing. That is irrelevant, unless they are open minded enough to actually fully research what I put out before making any edits. I don't use Wikipedia as a source and never have. I made two initial edits back in 2012, one still appears and one does not, and then I left. If anyone can go in and edit someone else's work without doing in depth research on their edits and take the time to check their sources, then they should not be editing. If they do such in depth research and edit, then the two can discuss. Which I actually started to do with Adrian J Hunter, pointing out the problems with this page and from the page I quote: "This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. (February 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)."[7]

So people want to complain when this piece has serious deficiencies which I wasted a week trying to fix, and it was not going to be an overnight fix, but the editor Adrian J Hunter would obviously not work with me even though I reached out to him and told him I would work with him on this piece. And continue to make further changes, so the phrase I quoted would no longer exist.

I don't know if I told you previously, but it was not my intent to get this involved, but fell into a trap initially, (due to circumstances I won't get into) and then you tell me that it's a bunch of amateurs that objected who want to obviously use this term, even though I have not found one Philosophy Class at a University, (which I have checked several), and no one offers a Philosophy Course on "Agnostic Atheism." Nor is it accepted within any course I checked at the following University's (which of course took further in depth research), Harvard University, The University of Michigan, and Stanford University, (In addition to checking all the other scholarly work I have already listed).

This is as bad if not worse than social media, a user, (don't recall the pen name), states that I did not research the definition in the Oxford Dictionary. Are you kidding me! The Oxford Dictionary is a primary source, it is not a secondary source. It makes me wonder if some of the people here have actually ever done real research. Because if they had, it would not be published by anyone, and if done in college the way the users I have come across this week do things, would be lucky to get a D at best on their research paper.

So by Adrian J Hunter starting out by saying it is a "Philosophical Position" and his first paragraph has no citation, is just an opinion on his part. Because I have not found it in any Philosophy Book, and I researched all week, (now that doesn't mean it's not somewhere, it just means I haven't found it yet).

Anyway, that is correct I don't use Wikipedia, because it is not accepted in any scholarly circle, it is not accepted at any level of education or school that I know of as a properly cited source, (and I know plenty of educators), so all you amateur editors have done is continue to fuel false narratives across social media, because people are ignorant enough to use Wikipedia. Now if you want further confirmation of this you can contact either Professor Draper at Purdue University or Professor Selim Berker at The University of Harvard. Professor Paul Draper's contact information: Paul Draper (Redacted), and Professor Selim Berker's contact information: (Redacted)[8][9]--Madjess (talk) 03:13, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Madjess, I'm sorry for redacting your post above, but posting email addresses like that may lead to them being harvested by webcrawling spambots.
I'm not sure why you keep claiming or insinuating that I'm the article's original author, that I had other editors do my bidding, or that I was unwilling to work with you. None of those things are true.

@Adrian J. Hunter:, actually I believe you deleted them because you know this article is for shit, and you nor anyone else wanted to contact either of them, because their email addresses are already posted publicly. If you don't even realize this, it makes me wonder. So contact these Professors whose careers and credentials are beyond reproach.[10][11] Then after you do, post here what they stated, verbatim.--Madjess (talk) 20:11, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

I also don't understand why the following message within the article is not taken seriously by some users, (just because a very small number object to improving the article based on current teachings, does not mean that the term is properly used. "This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. (February 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)"[12]--Madjess (talk) 20:11, 10 October 2020 (UTC)--Madjess (talk) 20:11, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Saucy, in addition, referring me to Adrian J. Hunter's talk page,[13] does not impress me at all. If I would have been editing constantly since 2012 when I first set up my account, I would have went beyond whatever awards he has gotten from Wikipedia, because my works have been published, and cited. Whereas like I stated Wikipedia is not an accepted source for any research paper or dissertation, or publication, or at any educational level in any school or University.

Why do you think I stopped editing? I have better things to do with my time, than edit things that will not be recognized as scholarly research anywhere. Which I have to get back to.--Madjess (talk) 02:25, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

@Madjess:, I was offended when you insulted my and other users' intelligence, level of education, etc. along with disparaging Wikipedia itself. Please don't insult us or Wikipedia itself while we debate (Wikipedia:Civility). Since both sides are repeating the same points and no real progress has been made, I will state what will convince me. If you demonstrate that your contributions do not violate the WP:SYNTH policy, your edits will be accepted. You may disagree with our rules, but rules are rules.
