Ford Ranchero Edit

How is it unconstructive to list the Ford Ranchero's appearance in a TV series under "In popular culture"? There's a really nice Ranchero featured in an episode of that show 204.209.209.129 (talk) 19:30, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

My apologies, but you used a wiki as a reference. Since anyone can edit a wiki, that is not considered a reliable source, which is the only kind we allow on Wikipedia. However, I left your addition of the infomration and only removed the reference.  little green rosetta(talk)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
Thank you for stepping forward and giving Xerographica such good advice. All of your words are well said and to the point. You have gone out of your way with your simple and elegant admonitions, and I am proud to offer you this Barnstar as a small bit of thanks for your Random Acts of Kindness. – S.

ioby

Hi, you said that if I'm having difficulties with another editor to post on your talk page...so here I am. If you can get a chance it would be great if you can review the removal of content on ioby. The founder of the website had the content on his user page...User:Erinbarnes. I reviewed it and it looked sufficiently neutral and fact based. Being familiar with civic crowdfunding I'm fairly confident that the website is notable enough to warrant its own entry. So I created the article and moved the content over to the article. Then another editor, who I've consistently had difficulties with, removed the content with the following explanation "Delete promotional content".

If there is anything that is truly promotional...which I myself didn't observe...then throwing the baby out with the bath water is not helpful or constructive. And it certainly doesn't improve the article. Thanks --Xerographica (talk) 20:27, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

I will look later tody.  little green rosetta(talk)
central scrutinizer  20:53, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
I've started discussion on the associated talk page. Btw, did you get an "ok" from the user who had this content in their userspace? While not prohibited, it is considered bad form to do something like that without approval.  little green rosetta(talk)
central scrutinizer  02:11, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Interesting observation about the "ok". But when original developer created his page, he "irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL." – S. Rich (talk) 02:23, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Indeed, that is why I said it wasn't prohibited. But it is considered a little rude.  little green rosetta(talk)
central scrutinizer  02:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for taking a look at the article. The user had added the link to ioby to the "See also" section on the civic crowdfunding article. Given that they posted a red link...and posted reliably sourced and quality content on their user page...I put two and two together and created the page for them. What also factored into my decision to do so is that I figured that they might be hesitant to create the page themselves because of possible COI concerns. But it's not like I cut and pasted their content...I simply copied and pasted it. And now they know that at least one editor approves of and appreciates the quality of their content. Plus, now you can see Rich and SPECIFICO in action. --Xerographica (talk) 02:37, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Speaking of rude...why would Rich undo another editor's positive contribution to Erin's user page? Why not just allow Erin to decide for herself whether she appreciated Djweinberger's contribution? --Xerographica (talk) 02:52, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

I see no problem with Rich & SPECFICO. I did question their actions, but they discussed with me in a reasonable fashion. Did you see how easy it is to engage someone if you AGF? As for Rich's removal, I don't know. Try asking him nicely, and I bet he will give you a polite answer.  little green rosetta(talk)
central scrutinizer  03:08, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

I have no problem engaging with them...my problem is that the ioby page would have been better off without their edits. They go around tearing down but they never build up. No worries, I'm sure they'll do it again. Hopefully, eventually, you'll see the pattern. --Xerographica (talk) 03:23, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
That was fast... Talk:Freedom_of_choice#SPECIFICO.27s_edits. --Xerographica (talk) 08:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
We won't discuss the pattern of your disruptive edits. And, it is considered improper to "improve" another user's User page unless (1) invited, or (2) the page violates Wikipedia policies and/or guidelines. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
And what X did is prohibited without giving appropriate credit, per WP:COPYWITHIN. However, it could have just been fixed, per WP:RIA. (As user pages can be deleted under {{db-user}}, the copyright credit needed to credit the user, not the user page. A minor technicality, which could have been fixed, if the article were not overly promotional.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:53, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Redaction

I would only redact in extreme cases. (What a task it would be to redact X's comments!) Your sense of fairness is appreciated, but my commentary was crafted with a WP:SPADE.

Yeah, the article approximates a POV monstrosity. Kinda in the same class as the one the Southern Poverty Law Center when I started to work on it a couple of years ago. Badmintonhist (talk) 17:17, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
I see the usual suspects are in this article. Binksternet's recent edits look ok to me so far. Tomato v Tomatuh edits for the most part. Roscelese is her usually charming lolcats self. Her POV pushing is blatant. I try to avoid articles she has her nose in because she is such an irritant.  little green rosetta(talk)
central scrutinizer  17:23, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, but the problem is that the ones she gets a deep foothold in are, of course, the most ideologically lopsided. I once was successful, though, getting her to acknowledge that she couldn't use a pro-choice fundraising flyer as a reliable source. LOL Badmintonhist (talk) 20:01, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
I don't think I've participated in a DR, but unless the stick is dropped we are headed for one. The problem isn't that the sources don't convey the message some of the POV pushers want to get across, it's the adjectives that make their edits POV in the first place.  little green rosetta(talk)
central scrutinizer  20:09, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
I call it more-royalist-than-the-king (make that queen) editing. Finding a "friendly" source then pushing the hell out of it, so that subjective inferences become "objective facts." A couple of pro-lifers in Knoxville plead ignorance to a journalist's questions and this becomes the basis for stating as fact in our article that Tennessee pro-lifers like the film but don't know what they're talking about. The last time that I "got into it" with our friend it was over our article on "Pro-life feminism" which then stated, with no in-line attribution, that Irish pro-life feminists stayed out of political disputes over abortion. Since that proposition sounded rather dubious to me I maintained that we state it as the opinion of our source. Our friend insisted that since a reliable source had said it, this made it cold, hard fact and no in-line attribution was needed (you see, the point was to make it appear that these pro-lifers didn't have the courage of their convictions). When I found two newspaper columns by one of these pro-life women which utterly contradicted the assertion, our friend said that she wasn't at all surprised. It was as if she knew it all the time, but rather liked the idea of portraying the pro-life feminists as timid souls for as long as she could get away with it. Badmintonhist (talk) 21:06, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

A few months ago, I did some poking around to see who added a diff that shall we say bended a source on the SPLC[1]. When I did a binary search to see who/when/why added this "fabricate" nonsense, I just shook my head when I discovered the source. How many gems like this do you think are buried in articles? Any editor that would have a perverse pride in getting away with such chicanery does not belong here.  little green rosetta(talk)

  • Now, as for the quotes, I'm willing to accept in the name of compromise that it might be used in the broader conspiracy theory material and not only in the film

central scrutinizer  19:32, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Normally I'd rather be singing than doing this. But I broke up with my singing partner recently and have had the somewhat doubtful pleasure of editing on Wikipedia more than before. Binksternet is a professional liberal but comparatively intellectual, and usually more tolerable, than our ol' pal Ros in his approach. However, he seems to dote on taking time out of his busy editing schedule to help her out whenever he can. Sorry, Beleg, that you were the one who got tripped a lot coming off the ropes. Badmintonhist (talk) 19:35, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry that I gave "Lucy" even the slightest encouragement on the Maafa Talk page. She inevitably lifts up the football when you go to take a kick at it. Badmintonhist (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
I really could use the assistance of you both on this question of whether or not Katz actually viewed Maafa 21, either by supporting my position and reasoning that she did not or by producing the evidence necessary to conclude that she has. I am willing to concede that she has if reasonable evidence is produced. Thanks for your help! :) -- Beleg Strongbow (talk) 13:59, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
I can't really help you on this one, Beleg. Katz may or may not have viewed the whole film. Don't expect utter "professionalism" even on the part of a professional historians when it comes to ideological warfare; after all, at one point she refers to anti-abortion activists as "anti-choice" activists. Her criticisms of the film are presented in acceptable sources for Wikipedia and that is pretty much that. It doesn't mean that her criticisms should be given undue weight in the article however. Badmintonhist (talk) 22:16, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
I understand, but if she didn't watch the film, her comments are not relevant about the film, because she isn't commenting on the film's content but on what she has been told about its content. In other words, it's not her opinion that we are citing but Frank Carlson's (most likely) or that of whoever told her about Maafa 21. -- Beleg Strongbow (talk) 13:40, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Did you catch the latest Rosie? "Reverting to better version supported by consensus." A consensus of one? Are we dealing with a real person here or is this somebody's made-up character, kinda like the Notre Dame football player's "girlfriend"? Badmintonhist (talk) 17:54, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I have long since concluded that she delights in pushing her wiki-adversaries to the limit using double-standards, straw man arguments, mockery, name-calling, bullying, etc., etc. in the hopes that they will do something stupid so that she can try to get them suspended. It has apparently worked in the past for her. Let's all be careful not to allow it to work again here. -- Beleg Strongbow (talk) 21:07, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

central scrutinizer  00:32, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Rosetta, I am puzzled by your latest article contribution--adding a citation to an article that lists local, public showings of Maafa 21. The formatting is pretty raw, of course, but more importantly, I think I'm missing the significance of the article. Would you please explain? -- Beleg Strongbow (talk) 20:29, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

In the future, let's take content issues to the TP. However to address your question, the reason is Roscelese is constantly removing "documentary" from the lead, ostensibly for the purposes of debasing the film. I added one of many sources that exist that do call the film a documentary. I would have added the Washington Times ref, but was too lazy too ref it out properly.  little green rosetta(talk)
central scrutinizer  20:32, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Here's an article on Sanger that was published just about the same time that Maafa 21 came out which both of you may find of interest. [2]
Thanks for sharing! That's a pretty powerful article. Many of his points are also covered in Maafa 21. Yes, I have actually watched the film: I decided that I must once R&B started jumping all over my head. I was thinking What's all the fuss about anyway? How much would you wager, despite all their flaming conclusions about the film, that neither of them has viewed it or attempted to research the citations offered in it? -- Beleg Strongbow (talk) 17:43, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
R&B? That would be Rhythm and Blues, I presume. Just don't get in the habit of referring to yourself as BS. I've watched about two thirds of the Crutcher film so far. No doubt that it overstates the "genocide" theme (basically by quoting people who overstate it) but it is instructional in showing the historical connection between "Family Planning" and eugenics. No, Sanger was not trying to completely eliminate the black race, but she undoubtedly wanted to reduce its number as a percentage of the population. Badmintonhist (talk) 20:00, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case

So where are we in regards to the removed content?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 14:40, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Looks like there is an impasse over this specfic article by TDC. While some are intent to impeach TDC overall, I still am unconvinced this article is not reliable. The "compelling evidence" submitted by T4D relying on misleading claims by MMFA is bunk. But since you asked for options, this is how I see the progression.
  • Restore the material and use the Foxnews article as a reference.
  • DRN. I'm afraid The RSN issue was hijacked by focusing on specious claims instead of focusing on the article in question. DRN would certainly get an editor willing to investigate the claims made by each side, something that didn't happen at RSN.
  • Move on. Can't win em all.

archive question

Little green rosetta, I can't seem to get into the archives on Tea Party movement. It seems the threads I'm trying to open are split between two archives. I don't usually go hunting diffs in archives and I'm clearly missing how. I'm looking for diffs from March 2012 which should be in archive 19. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm asking because you earlier pointed me to the ANI archive which I had no trouble with, so don't know what I'm missing now. Thanks. Malke 2010 (talk) 16:58, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean, as there should be only one archive. Are you looking for a diff on the article or the talk page? You might want to try using the revision history search tool. Go to the articles history page, and there is a link in the external tools section.  little green rosetta(talk)

We noticed though that when you edited Gay lisp, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Register (linguistics) and Accent (linguistics) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

About the Merging of the Article American Accent

Hello, you have merged the Article American Accent with North American English regional phonology. American Accent is a part of American English but it is a totally different thing. Also it has some difference from the phonology. As we all know that it is the way of talking and pronouncing, I think a different Article is necessary as a result of letting people know more elaborately about American Accent. So that people can talk and speak more fluently using American English. Because of the fact that people of other countries, who are not Native Speaker of American English try to follow American English in their day to day life for its simplicity. And American Accent is essential for the purpose of speaking and communicating with others. It is easier for the people to directly search for American Accent and have more knowledge about the Accent part only. More information will be added into this Article with the passage of time and if there is any mistake, then it will be edited. After your merging proposal was made, I have talked with few specialists of American Accent and they have also agreed that a different article is quite helpful and they have agreed to provide information and correction for making the article more appropriate and accurate. The rest is up to you. I hope you are understanding the point of view. You can help me in correcting things if you think are inappropriate in the Article. Will look forward to working together. Thank you.Sourov0000 (talk) 19:29, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Notability

Hi. I don't want to response you in another user talk page. I prefer that other user, like IndelibleHulk or Feedback answer you (first, because I'm not a English native-speaker). In the Wikiprojecto, we have some rules. First, we don't put in the articles the weekly matches. WWE have near 6 TV show per week. If we put all the no notable matches (usually, the TV show is for hype the PPV, so the weekly matches aren't notables) we'll have articles with one million of lines. The Funkadactils are notable because they are the valet of Brodus Clay, so we redirected the article. They started to wrestle, but the matches are weekly matches, thats why the article is so short, I remove the weekly matches and, as you can see, the article says the same that the Brodus Clay article. Thats why I prefer to redirect, no afd. If you want to know more, I think that's better that esked to Hulk or Feedback. I'm in Spanish Wikipedia since 2007-2008, but in English Wikipedia I spent less time, so I don't know if we have special rules. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 22:57, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Per the discussion [7] it was determined that the efforts that you participated in at User:TheRedPenOfDoom/sandbox/heterophobia had lead to the conclusion that there was not enough content to overcome WP:DICDEF and so instead of an article, the term will be a redirect to Wiktionary.

Invitation to Mini-RfC

Thanks for your comments on the Lisa Lavie AfD. I'm asking various editors for constructive comments or explanations on my talk page: User talk:RCraig09#Questions. Thanks, from RCraig09 (talk) 15:52, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Little green beer! (Courtesy Norrin strange)

Thanks for responding. I do understand the perception you've expressed from my earliest writing (2009), and I just want to assure you I'm trying to include only the most important events supported by references that are reliable for the content for which they are cited. I think that Iman Crosson being in a 30-part series (not a mere "gig") of someone as notable as Deepak Chopra, and being named one of the best five Obama impersonations by a Huffington Post writer, are not "cruft." I think that the Chopra reference provided the instant WP:verifiability that is the foundation of reliability, though it was in a blog format. I don't plan to contest these issues further, but I hope you would discuss specific issues with me (I do like intelligent discussion) instead of soliciting help from other editors introducing my contributions as "cruft." We may differ greatly in how much detail we believe is proper in articles, but in your case I sense we can disagree amicably and above-board.
In the meantime, have a Cold One on me. RCraig09 (talk) 21:19, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Top X lists on blogs (yes, Huffpost is mostly bloggers) are the very definiton of cruft. If a Barack Obama impersonation is notable, we expect a RS to state this, For example, consider the case of Louis Ortiz.  little green rosetta(talk)

Scientom has socked before to evade scrutiny and edit war to get an article to the right version. The fact that he/she is not indeffed at the moment is odd. I'm writing it down to off wiki business.

Sources for Sondra Peterson Entry

I note your problem with the sources in the Sondra Peterson entry, but as I stressed there: the actual SOURCE is not the web page itself; it is the magazine that happens to be reproduced on that web page. This is the only way in which you're going to have reliable proof of that source, since 1960s fashion magazines are not published on the web. The only alternative - since Vogue and Seventeen are WP:RS - is to link to them the way that sources that are not online are generally referenced:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Links_to_sources

We can do that, and it would certainly be within policy, but it makes the encyclopedia far more useful if a reader can SEE the magazine referred to. Your call: but the sources themselves are impeccable. NaymanNoland (talk) 19:33, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, there is a difference of opinion as to how "perfectly acceptable" that "sourced" information is afterall. Please address this on the talk page of the article in question.  little green rosetta(talk)

Now that it has been established that I have NOT been using sock puppets, please revert to the full entry. Your remark about "pre-sock" edits - even if you thought you were correct when you wrote it - is insulting. And I put a lot of work into the properly sourced entry, which keeps getting erased on inappropriate grounds. I am not going to revert this myself, as it then becomes an edit war. But if you are editing in good faith, I expect you to do so. NaymanNoland (talk) 22:59, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. --CartoonDiablo (talk) 16:59, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Seduction community

LGR, for some strange reason (at least, strange to me) you popped up in my mind as someone who'd be interested in this article: Seduction community. As I recall, I saw you posting some quite cogent remarks about women, men, and other gender related topics. As for the SC article, I hardly dare say how I came across it. In any event, I think you'll be interested. (As a reminder, you had made some comments about User:Xerographica when s/he was a hot topic.)

My Bill Nye edit

Hi, you reverted my April 30 good faith edit (your words) on why Bill Nye left his relationship with Blair Tindall.

It seems to me that what I put there was obviously relevant to the topic. It made it possible for people to find out this information without further searching. What, if anything, was inappropriate about my edit that deserved reversion? Bill Jefferys (talk) 00:38, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Since Wikipedia isa tertiary source with no editorial oversight, we cannot use wikipeida articles as references for other articles.  little green rosetta(talk)
central scrutinizer  00:55, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
There are plenty of sources cited on the Blair Tindall page about this event; do you mean that it would be OK for me to copy that section with the sources cited into the Bill Nye page, but not OK to simply refer the reader to that page with a link, even though the information there is properly cited? If you are saying the latter, then what do you think the links all over WikiPedia are doing? Are they all invalid?
It seems to me that the virtue of links is that they make it possible to avoid unnecessary duplication of information on numerous pages. They make it easy to find information that is relevant without duplicating it. Am I wrong?Bill Jefferys (talk) 21:14, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Blair is already wiki-linked on the Nye article, so the reader can click through if they are so inclined. As for copying that entire section, while sourced, it might not be pertinent to the Nye article. If the part you want to add addresses the anullment, I have no problems with that, but you probably should use one of the sources used in the Blair article instead of the article itself.  little green rosetta(talk)
