Great works!! You have improved a lot....Keep up....

The Herald - how sweet - thank you!! And thank you for being so patient and giving of your time. I'm pretty excited about a couple new projects I'm working on offline, and also trying to improve a very inaccurate "start" article that relies heavily on self-published sources, and original research.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Gabor B. Racz you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Cwmhiraeth -- Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:02, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

FA congratulations
Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of American paddlefish to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at the requests page. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,287 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Bencherlite 10:46, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, Bencherlite. I believe in the DYK/GA/FA process, admire the reviewers for their diligence, and generosity of their time, and hope I will be able to help bring more quality articles to Misplaced Pages. Atsme☯ 12:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Today's Featured Article: Notification
This is to inform you that American paddlefish, which you nominated at WP:FAC, will appear on the Misplaced Pages Main Page as Today's Featured Article on 24 December 2014. The proposed main page blurb is here; you may amend if necessary. Please check for dead links and other possible faults before the appearance date. Brianboulton (talk) 23:24, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
Precious
intrinsic beauty of sharing knowledge
Thank you, free at last, for quality articles such as American paddlefish and Gabor B. Racz, written with the background of experience and in the spirit that there's "something indescribable, yet intrinsically beautiful about sharing knowledge", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

One of the best Christmas gifts ever. Thank you Gerda Arendt. It is such an honor to receive this from you!! Atsme☯ 13:35, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

and I had to add a redirect
I added the redirect for the "C C of N" as somehow the current Misplaced Pages editors seem not to have known it <g>. Howdy Doody was "first show of the evening" and had its very own test pattern. And the first Howdy had "plastic surgery" <g> due to a dispute with the puppet maker. I know - way too much trivia. Collect (talk) 14:45, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
@Collect: - Great trivia! Who can forget Doodyville?
- Buffalo Bob: Who's the funniest clown in town?
- Audience: CLARABELL!
- Buffalo Bob: Who makes you laugh when you wanna frown?
- Audience: CLARABELL!
- Buffalo Bob: His feet are big, his tummy's stout, but we could never do without...
- Audience: CLARA, CLARA, CLAR-A-BELL!!!
And then there was, Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!!! I had to have a coonskin cap. Too young to know who he truly was, or what he believed. Another favorite, Have Gun — Will Travel Ha! Thanks for the memories....<---my salutation made me think of Bob Hope. Never ends, but that's a good thing - like what Steven Jobs said about on-off switches.

| Hello Atsme! Bananasoldier (talk) has given you a bit of sunshine to brighten your day! Sunshine promotes WikiLove and hopefully it has made your day better. Spread the sunshine by adding {{subst:User:Meaghan/Sunshine}} to someone else's talk page, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. In addition, you can spread the sunshine to anyone who visits your userpage and/or talk page by adding {{User:Meaghan/Sunshine icon}}. Happy editing!

Proposed lede
If you are accepting the changes I proposed you might actually change the model. Doing so will allow other editors to comment further on what is needed. BTW, I take issue on some items. For instance becoming a CFP is the essential encyclopedic info we want, not the motivation. Also his assistant station gig comes from his Whos Who profile (which I purchased) -- it seems to have been enhanced with time. His assertion about founding American Media is SPS, not backed by other sources, and involves a third party -- the corporate (non)-entity. I hope you'll consider my comments here. Later I shall post needed observations in the thread. Please keep up the effort. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 04:42, 6 February 2015 (UTC) Added suggestion: make the suggested changes and check off with {{Done}}. 04:50, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- Srich32977 - please take a look at GA Murray Rothbard, under section title Life and work, subtitle Education - He attended Columbia University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics in 1945 and, eleven years later, his PhD in economics in 1956. The delay in receiving his PhD was due in part to conflict with his advisor, Joseph Dorfman, and in part to Arthur Burns rejecting his doctoral dissertation. That article is in line with what I'm shooting for with Griffin and why I feel the explanations are important to the BLP. Atsme☯ 05:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- But ... the Rothbard material you reference are in the article text, not the lede. Since the Griffen page is off of PP, you might make the changes in the sections. Remember, we want to keep the lede as concise as possible. Moreover you've got to get consensus for your proposed lede. The lede is the center of most of the contentiousness.. – S. Rich (talk) 05:26, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- I suggest you drop the "was honorably discharged" phrasing. Unless something unusual happens (such as a court-martial, or administrative board action) everyone leaves the military with an honorable discharge. Seeking to add the phrase is gilding the lily. – S. Rich (talk) 16:35, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- Srich32977 - I can't believe he lied straight up at 3RR. Talk about passive aggressive behavior. And of course, the team is on top of it. Atsme☯ 07:36, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Valentine Greets!!! |

Hello Atsme, love is the language of hearts and is the feeling that joins two souls and brings two hearts together in a bond. Taking love to the level of Misplaced Pages, spread the WikiLove by wishing each other Happy Valentine's Day, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Spread the love by adding {{subst:Valentine Greetings}} to other user talk pages. |
- How sweet! Thank you, The Herald. I consider you and Hafspajen very special Wikipedians. Thank you both for being so kind, and for sharing your thoughts of kindness to others. Atsme☯ 23:31, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Advice
I strongly advise you to drop your interest in the Griffin article. The AE request recently closed, includes a strong indication that an AE request against you would be merited. I think that if you carry on trying to edit that article, you will end up exactly there. You have, as you implied earlier, settled on a story, and angle, and it is absolutely not in line with Misplaced Pages policy. I do not want to see you starting to accumulate topic bans. Griffin is a Bircher, all Birchers are toxic for any editor who fails to understand and accept that members of the John Birch Society are usually extremists and very often completely unhinged. Griffin is one such. He is an advocate for a form of quackery long promoted by the society, and which has caused untold misery. Guy (Help!) 21:40, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- And what sort of "misery" has the JB society caused? -A1candidate 21:53, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- You got me there, I had thought that they were against things like health and safety legislation, and promoted cancer quackery. Oh, wait, I was right: they are historically against anything that controls the unfettered freedom of the individual, even when it is an essential part of civilised society. Guy (Help!) 18:12, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
Any Point?
Your quote- "I may not be perfect, but I can certainly strive to be." If there is absolutely no chance of being perfect, why try to be. Just a random question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.99.140.221 (talk) 22:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Because as long as you are striving to be perfect you keep getting better. Grasping that concept may be difficult for those who set limits on themselves or lack self-confidence. Atsme☯ 06:03, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

your user talk page
Is under your control -- those who seek to cow you by reverting your removal of material which is quite reasonably removed is improper. What you can not remove are block notices, until the block is resolved, and official posts by ArbCom and the like. Misplaced Pages:User_pages#Removal_of_comments.2C_notices.2C_and_warnings . Consult all you wish. Collect (talk) 13:30, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

- All I noted was your revert - your proper course should have been to contact the one who deleted the post, not Atsme who bore no fault. My UT page, for example, asks others not to refactor it. Cheers. Collect (talk) 14:07, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- Would you consult me to do anything further? -Roxy the dog™ (resonate) 14:11, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

This is your problem
You state: "I do not have a POV". That is ridiculous. Everybody has a POV in respect of everything. Your problem is precisely that you think your beliefs are not only neutral, but self-evidently true. That this is not so should, by now, be obvious to anybody who is competent to edit a contentious article. Your advocacy for the purported validity of Griffin's false opinions on laetrile is only one example of your having a POV, whether you admit it or not. Guy (Help!) 18:08, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Not true. I have no agenda at Griffin except to make it a GA, and in order to do that, it has to pass a GA review. As the article stands now, it wouldn't pass a DYK review. I have tried my best to be accommodating to you but your aggressiveness toward me is not helping. Atsme☯ 19:53, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
