My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Oregon, studying digital media and online community. I am posting to invite you to participate in my research study exploring the work of Misplaced Pages editors who are members of WikiProject: Countering Systemic Bias. The online survey should take 20 to 25 minutes to complete and can be found here:

Previous proposed deletion tags and speedy deletion tags do not make it necessary to list something as separate AfDs, although it may be helpful to note them in the AfD nomination. ] 11:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much.
==NPOV==
You seem to be misunderstanding NPOV. Any POV may be allowed and even desirable in articles, ''when it is the stated position of a notable person or organization or the majority view or criticism.'' In other words, ''we'' must be NPOV. We may quote, cite, or give the position of individuals and organizations that are POV. You removed a clearly attributed and relevant statement , the second time you did so. Our NPOV policy requires that conflicting views be given weight according to their relative importance. In short, stop removing views which do not support the view of the subject of the article merely because they do not support the views of the subject of the article. To do so is to write a hagiography not an encyclopedia article. This is not to say that tiny minority views should ever be included, but that is not the case here. ]<sup>]</sup> 11:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


Sincerely,
:KC, I removed that quote because its POV was irrelevant to the context of that paragraph, was was ''incredibly'' poorly written - sloppy, in fact. I've tried to clean it up now (and rearrange those two paragraphs) to make it a better read, so please don't undo it, or no one who speaks proper English will even understand what it says.


Randall Livingstone
:I also had to change the uncited paragraph below; I hate using those weasel words, but until that statement is cited (as you noted above), it's simply some editor's unreferenced POV, and probably should be deleted if no citation is forthcoming. --] 13:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Whoa there, big fella. What are you talking about? '''I left your quote in there''' when I edited for clarity this time. ALL I did was move a paragraph higher, so it could read better, and changed a word in the UNCITED paragraph in keeping with the rest of the paragraph. What's the deal here?

I think you should both quit the sematic quibbling. Adding text is a change. Removing someones added text is a change. There is a minor presumption that changes to a stable article require more justification that removing such changes, but its minor. Far more important is whether the changes are justified, and whether they have consensus. Continuing to make a change after several people have objected is disruptive and the correct procedure is to take it to the talk page ] 10:49, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

:::WMC, I don't get it. So anyone pushing a POV-agenda can made a POV, unsupported, and spurious edit, repeatedly make the same edit against consensus, and the other editors who revert that edit has a weak rationale? By your logic, POV-pushing now is easy--just keep making the POV edit, whine to certain admins that their edit is legitimate, and it's done and becomes a part of the article. I think you're dead wrong. ] <small><sup>] ]</sup></small> 11:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
:::: No. Why not read what I say? I said editing against consensus isn't good. I said that asserting that the onus of explanation lies on the side of someone adding a change is weak. Since KC has a good arguemnt, switching to a weak one isn't a good idea ] 13:25, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::ah, in that case, I believe you may have misunderstood me. I was not "switching" I was suggesting that the only way for Profg to attempt to gain consensus for his desired edits is to "make a case" on the talk page. Without that effort, it seems not only unlikely but virtually certain that consensus will not change to support his desired edits. Thus, it was a natural extension of, and guidance for, my first point - not a different point at all. ]<sup>]</sup> 13:40, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I would suggest on ]and other issues, that you try to learn, slow down, take a deep breath, and not be so combative with other editors. You and your edits will survive on WP longer that way. --] 13:50, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
