| Greetings. I'm hoping that you can provide a neutral 3rd party perspective on edits which are currently in dispute (and the subject of an edit war) on the bio for Mary Landrieu. In a nutshell.... | |||

| Hey, you seem to have a fairly good reputation as a NPOV person. The cannabis article is in need of some serious work. I think I burned up my good will early there by trying to make too many changes to quickly + a poor word choice in my first edit. If you are willing/interested, I think it could use your help.

I think it's important to addresss controversies, even (or especially) when they are baseless, in order to provide a place for the rumors to be dispelled.

| You recently amended the entry on Mike Huckabee, specifically with regard to unemployment in the state.

| ==Your Defense of the Klansman == | |||
| how can we add a section on the naegleria fowleri page regarding the work our foundation has done for amoeba awareness? We started the Kyle Lewis Amoeba Awareness Foundation after we lost our 7 year old to the brain-eating amoeba, naegleria fowleri, and we work every day to make others aware of the risk and how to protect those they love from the horrendous and fatal affects of this parasite. Kyle's story has been featured on Monsters Inside Me, Inside Edition and many news clips. We work together with the CDC and other researchers in this mission. The Kyle Lewis Amoeba Awareness Foundation has made contributions to research and awareness to the CDC as well as a San Fransisco company working on a new drug treatment to fight naegleria fowleri. | |||
| The article in question is a matter of opinion. We simply disagree. That you choose to defend a hatemongering klansman is your business.

| You recently removed the sentence about a review of Sue Kelly's votes that talked about her siding with conservative Republicans every time after inquiring about the source of the review. The information comes from a review that I did using data from the Washington Post. There's a link here: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/109/house/narrow-margins/ which breaks down the closest votes for the first session of the 109th Congress. I looked at the 15 closest votes as identified by the Washington Post and created an Excel chart. While the data itself comes from the Post, there is no other independent analysis of Kelly's votes that I'm aware of. Given the edit war on this particular entry, I didn't want to insert this without trying to explain myself first, though I think it should be included.(] 17:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)) | |||

| i understand that, but i dont really see why individual matchups if relevant like against billups and kidd cannot be put on the page when they show that nash is not at his best when he comes up against other elite point guards. please explain because i think it should be there in some capacity. if its ok for people to write about when nash dominates other players, why not when other players dominate him??? | |||
| == Heidi Heitkamp == | |||
| well the whole article is about how nash is so good as a player and does so well, there should be something about how one of his weaknesses seems to be him underperforming against some elite players and his weak defense. 2 or 3 lines is not enough in my eyes to look at the main weakness of his game, given that the rest of the article is about his qualities as a player. i reckon it should be included and you dont need critics to tell you a fact that billups and kidd dominated his this season. | |||
| Your input is requested regarding a discussion on Health Care at ]. Thank you.] (]) 17:57, 17 October 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ok i will find some stuff criticiing nash, there is plenty out there. his bad defense is often criticized a lot. its just that somehow now, defense doesnt matter and you get back to back mvp's for just dominating on the offensive side of the ball. my argument is that yeah i respect nash for being an amazing offensive player but when doing a "player profile", one should look at how rubbish his defense is and how other point guards have simply outperformed him. just as its relevant to say that nash is generally amazing against other point guards, its relevant to say that he has struggled against point guards who can play defense (kidd, billups) and that should be noted. the fact that a player cannot perform against other point guards is relevant and i will not go as far as saying that nash is a choker cos he has been good this playoffs, but his lack of performance against kidd and billups has to be noted in my opinion, just like his double digit assists are noted for the rest of the season. nash has many faults and defense is such a huge part of the game and his lack of it should be addressed and i will now find some articles that highlight it and put them on as sources. | |||

| I respect the fact that you want this page to be free of POV's and I understand that. But my use of the word "communist" to describe the Sandinistas is fact, not POV. The word is being used to describe political leaning. It is not my opinion. It is truth. I have reviewed the policies and guidelines for biographies on living persons, and my edit of that section was within guidelines. Content was pretty much the same. It would be dishonest not to mention the political affiliation of the group that he helped. Did you see the link that characterized the Sandinistas as communists?

| Please let me just explain myself: I removed the category because it is my understanding that Senator Edwards does not actually teach a course at the law school or anywhere else. (One cannot, it seems, take Course X with "Professor Edwards.") Rather he runs an institute associated with the law school. My search of the UNC Law website appears to confirm this -- i.e., that he does not teach a course and thus does not qualify for this category, as it is currently defined. I still think he does not properly belong in this category, but it's not one of those things that really bothers me. Thanks. | |||

I really should move onto to new biographies of the New State Auditor, and the New State Treasurer, you know, get on with writing about the rest of Arkansas figures, maybe do some work on La, which seems a little better covered than states anyway.

| ==James Cone== | |||
| Some of the quotes that you deleted as 'unverified' were direct quotes from James Cone's book with page numbers cited. Excerpts of his book are available online at Amazon and you can verify the quotes if you like. | |||
| One thing I am amazed at/confused by: the idea that, if it's referenced, it can stay in. A verifiable reference is necessary, but the thing you're referencing must be relevant, no? The impression I get from certain users is "If it's referenced, it stays." So, since Cuba Gooding, Jr. ''is'' an Academy Award winner, when listing Ben Carson's autobiographical movie, we include the line "Helping Hands, with Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding, Jr. playing the lead." | |||
| As for the other quote, The Wall Street Journal and The Dallas Morning News are two of the US's best known and most reputable newspapers. To claim that sourcing from them is not sufficient for Misplaced Pages is to raise the bar for sourcing so high as to be unsustainable. If Cone had disputed the quote, you might have a point but, despite the wide distribution of the quote, he hasn't. ] (]) 04:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

| == Notice of RfC and request for participation == | |||
| ==Steven Crowder== | |||
| There is an RfC in which your participation would be greatly appreciated: | |||
| I mean this with all due respect, so please do not read it in a negative tone, I am honestly seeking clarification;that is all. On the page for Crowder, you've made statements such as "YOU would allow it to stay" etc, when the issue has not been debated thoroughly,and when responses to offers of compromise language have not been made. On what basis would you assume the responsibility about what stays/goes. My understanding is we are all on equal standing. In earlier consensus building, everyone was considered to be equal. Your approach that you will allow this or that implies that you feel you have more authority or have the final say. Again, I'm not sincerely questioning this approach, because if we all decide to have "the final say", it would never get resolved. It's clear that a few people simply do not like Crowder, and the history of edits shows patterns of having a bias, as I suppose everyone has. I make every attempt to keep things fact based, and I have not made it a mission to go on many articles always portraying one point of view. I really can see both sides of the issue, which is why I'm so willing to compromise, which is part of the consensus procedure anyway. However, I'm not seeing much compromise on the other side, and for one person to assume "ownership of the article" and decide what stays and goes...I do not think that is supported by Wiki guidelines. | |||
| *] | |||
| I haven't edited many articles; I don't make it a mission of mine to trash people personally (I'm not saying YOU do that) and insult other editors, both of which I've seen in the editing of this article. So I'd appreciate your input as a more experienced editor; I've bent over backwards to be neutral, compromise, offer alternatives, all of the things recommended in the guidelines for resolution. But I feel like others are arbitrarily putting timeframes that suit them or as soon as they've outnumbered someone's partial opinion claimed consensus over numerous entire issues. Other than fixing grammatical errors, I rarely edit other entries. I am more involved in this one having written a fair part of the original article, then having to fight for and parse over each and every word because of some editor's obvious hatred of the subject. (Again, not you, I've received personal notes full of profanity, etc.) I know I do not own the article. But I DO believe that my opinion is just as valid as anyone else's, if I understand the guidelines correctly. Why people would be so intent on showing someone in a negative light at every turn; I just don't understand that motivation instead of just sticking to facts and keeping it as neutral as possible. | |||

| *John, I don't hate Crowder, sheesh, I wrote the article and wanted it to be unbiased, not a HuffPo screed. It turned out the real problem was not turning into a puff piece including unverified resume puffery. As for whether all opinions are "equal," the fact that your account is dedicated to Crowder's article can be taken into consideration by editors. I think it serves us well to listen to editors like Maximusveritas with no "history" over the article.--''']''' • <small><sup style="position:relative">]<span style="position:relative;bottom:-2.0ex;left:-3.2ex;*left:-5.5ex;">]</span></sup></small> 12:00, 3 April 2013 (UTC) | |||

| ::::* Milowent, this msg was intended for Maxiumus, but since you followed me here, you have accused Crowder of: Hate crimes, lying, acting like a 2nd grader, fraud, questioning the place of his upbringing, his wife's name, minor awards and so many other things I can't remember. I don't read HuffPo so I don't know what you mean by that. And obviously you NOW want someone who is less invested to carry extra weight, but I doubt when an editor comes on that agrees with my input you won't have the same opinion. It's very clear by all your edits that you don't like Crowder. And I HAVE edited other articles, as stated above, so you also have lied about me, as you have made accusations in the past. You also have personally insulted me with extreme profanity, threatened me, and used the worst profanity in talk pages as anyone can see. And you did NOT write the article; you wrote AN article that 5minutes completely had to revamp, due to its extreme POV, so as it exists today is mainly due to his template. Now, I'm officially asking you to NO LONGER CONTACT ME personally, (because you do nothing but insult and condescend, and have NEVER had a kind word to say, ever), on anyone's page, or I will report you for harassment. | |||

| ::::*Maxiumus, Thank you for your reply. The "allowing it to stay" type comments I think was the issue. In previous edits, we were all told that editing was "hands off" until the final consensus was reached, rather than the ongoing edits which is still seems like you've decided to take charge of, going by your response to me. I've contributed much of the info on this page and have been involved since near its initial incomplete and incorrect inception, dealing with some whose primary purpose is to get as much negative information as possible on his page, and/or get it deleted completely. So I have to deal with that every time there is ANY new information, including merely where he grew up and his whom he married. I was repeatedly asked for a citation to prove that the suburb he grew up in is near montreal. What citation would I use? Google maps? So there has been an ongoing form of bullying forcing to cite even the most simple statements of facts. So I did thoroughly go over the rules of editing and consensus building. Considering this example, I found a quote that said 'obvious facts don't need to be cited'. So I didn't have to cite that Montreal is in Canada, for instance. Also, it suggests allowing enough time for everyone to have their say BEFORE applying any edits. Not as soon as one side feel they have a majority, which is not how it's decided anyway. If you've edited other articles that way and there was no issue, I have no problem with that. But with this page, with someone intent on slandering the subject at every opportunity, I fear that if we all have "rolling edits", it will just be back and forth ad nauseum. So in the case of this article, we had been going by the method that the article be put more or less "on hold" while a consensus is worked on. Even so,I didn't revert your last revision to stop that cycle. I've done EVERYTHING I can do to provide civility, compromise, and consensus only to be largely ignored. In other cases, I've had arbitrary time frames forced on me, like if it's something they agree with, 48 hours. When I tried to use the same format for another edit, I was told "no, we need to allow a week or so because not everyone is on wiki every day, etc." So essentially, I've been made to work with shifting "rules" arbitrarily "enforced". And I've done my BEST, actually compromising more than I should have to get even the tiniest bit of my input included. So compromise being rare, I am usually the one who has had to abandon relevant facts basically due to 'ganging up'. I had to fight just to get his basic biographical information at the top like every other person's page! I offered several examples, and since they feel they are a majority, we spent days just to finally convince that basic info (age, place of birth, etc)doesn't belong at the BOTTOM. Often, my suggestions for re-wording and questions are simply ignored, and as you have seen, someone will go on a rant about how the article shouldn't even exist and attack the subject, that the subject acts like a 2nd grader, adding NOTHING constructive to the discussion other than negativity and actually PREVENTING consensus. So I have to deal with these people as "equal editors". And this time I am sticking with it. I'm following the rules. I've compromised at least 5 times, just on this one sentence, and some obviously just get a kick out of trashing the subject and forcing me to defend each and every word. So, there has been no consensus reached, as it is clearly stated that it is not decided by vote, but when everyone's input has been satisfactorily included or some editors abandon their opinion. So, with no specific time frame indicated in the guide, and after compromising nearly all of my contribution, I have just one thing left to give,which would mean my input had been completely bullied away, again. I know there are other editors, who do want to give opinion, if they get the chance. | |||
| Having said all of that, I respectfully ask that since every previous edit has gone through a certain process, that you don't edit anymore until a consensus is finally reached, otherwise it will turn into a daily edit war, which no one obviously wants.

Mary Landrieu
Greetings. I'm hoping that you can provide a neutral 3rd party perspective on edits which are currently in dispute (and the subject of an edit war) on the bio for Mary Landrieu. In a nutshell....
From my perspective, I believe the bio currently provides a biased perspective. I'm trying to update content with recent information, remove content which is currently unsourced, edit content which is inaccurately sourced, and make an addition to the lede to make it more neutral.
From the other party's perspective, my edits are biased and based on my historical editing I am biased as well.
After much back and forth, the other party has added or updated sources for some of the content which I was trying to remove. So I think we're down to a core set of edits to be resolved.
I'm asking you to provide a 3rd party perspective since I've noticed that your edits and comments on political subjects have historically been neutral. Also, you've edited at least one of my edits in the past to provide a countering perspective (so I doubt you'd be considered an ally).

Bill de Blasio Subsections in Early Career
I respect the fact that you want this page to be free of POV's and I understand that. But my use of the word "communist" to describe the Sandinistas is fact, not POV. The word is being used to describe political leaning. It is not my opinion. It is truth. I have reviewed the policies and guidelines for biographies on living persons, and my edit of that section was within guidelines. Content was pretty much the same. It would be dishonest not to mention the political affiliation of the group that he helped. Did you see the link that characterized the Sandinistas as communists? If I am incorrect, please provide a link. I'm always willing to learn.FactsInHistory (talk) 00:20, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Ben Carson
Please actually take a look at the changes I made to the article. Before and After.
I assure you that I've kept in all his relevant quotations. Yet, you mass revert everything, even when I remove the "Academy award winning" from the description of "Academy award winning" Cuba Gooding, Jr-- we can both agree that was exciseable fluff, no? Or, listing all the titles of the books he has written in the main body... when all the titles of his books are already provided at the bottom in the Publications section? Or listing his stated religion twice?
I spend a good number of hours (wasted, I guess?) because you can just press a button and mass revert. You do not even bother to read what changes I have made.
OK, I get it, and I concur: the previous versions of my edit were rough and "scorched earth"-like. This last one, not so much.
The article really was atrocious before I looked at and it needs a serious review; it's almost a candidate for conservapedia.com as is.
Can you please msg me before you mass revert me again?
Thank you.--Petzl (talk) 23:14, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
Ben Carson II
I have been in wikipedia for a while, but I've never touched a third rail like this.
I don't actually know which (or how many) people I have to placate for this consensus. Just who gets to decide? And what if just one of these many people with their fingers on the mass revert trigger is a Fox News viewer and thinks the mentions of Hannity opinions of Carson's opinions are relevant?
One thing I am amazed at/confused by: the idea that, if it's referenced, it can stay in. A verifiable reference is necessary, but the thing you're referencing must be relevant, no? The impression I get from certain users is "If it's referenced, it stays." So, since Cuba Gooding, Jr. is an Academy Award winner, when listing Ben Carson's autobiographical movie, we include the line "Helping Hands, with Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding, Jr. playing the lead."
Have you read the original sections I've changed? Almost anything someone does will be an improvement to them. They are disturbingly biased, in tone, and in superfluous factoids they contain.
What exactly do I have to do here so I dont have to waste hours of my life. I mean, if this is hopeless and there are partisan people who have this article on their watch list, let me know that too. (I'm just hoping, that I'm speaking to someone who is of like mind as myself: that is, someone who is disturbed by bias or fluff in an article and wants to do "the right thing" in wikipedia.)
Thanks--Petzl (talk) 00:07, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
What is POV
You removed my text "but this stated concern were obviously just a false pretense for their real desire to prevent the appointment of liberal judges changing the political leaning of the court, since it would be absurd to imagine Republicans arguing for the same court size reduction if Republicans could decide who would be appointed.". I believe your reasoning is flawed.
I don't see how that is POV. While it is obviously what Democrats would like it to read, it is also unarguably true. I know that most US media would be reluctant to state the obvious truth, if one of the political sides are lying about it, but to quote Krugman: If a presidential candidate were to declare that the earth is flat, you would be sure to see a news analysis under the headline ”Shape of the Planet: Both Sides Have a Point.” After all, the earth isn’t perfectly spherical. Misplaced Pages should be held to a higher standard than the ridiculous US media, and should not be afraid to state the inconvenient (for some) truth. Thue (talk) 02:37, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Carson's views on czars
Hello,
You reverted my edit on the article about Ben Carson. I was wondering why it needs a secondary source. Is it a rule on Misplaced Pages (yes, I'm still somewhat “noobish” here; but I have made many edits on articles) or is it that you feel it's irrelevant? I feel that it's quite relevant, as Carson has been involved in politics recently.

Sylvia Browne
Thank you for catching the duplication I missed. I do think that her prediction of her death is better placed with the section on her death, but that is very minor in my opinion, and I have no objection to the deletion. I have only been contributing actively to Misplaced Pages for a few years now and appreciate genuine attempts to improve my contributions and correct my blunders.
