== My Comment at Arbcom == == Something ==


Hello there, dear sir. I would like to inform you that there is no need to have removed my edit to the year ]. The edit that I made to this page is a relevant edit. If you were to have read the page, you would have known that the actress who I edited onto the page was born in 1993, so technically it is relevant information. If you see this, please take note.
I don't want to be belligerent, but I honestly don't see the attack. Was it me calling it a game? Tarc was doing an 'experiment' to 'prove a point' and even stated it's 'been fun to pretend' and characterized the act as a 'schtick' done to 'push peoples buttons'. I don't think it is a far cry to call that playing a game.
Thank you,
The Editor.


P.S. My account is both more than 4 days old and I have made more than 10 edits, so there is no real need to do this. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 23:11, November 25, 2019 (UTC)</small>
As for the conclusion, while mine doesn't match his, I think its relevant because I'm saying he argued a point he didn't agree with, but was capable of doing so without being offensive. Something several other participants failed to do. So again, I'm not seeing the attack as it specifically states he wasn't being, as I said, a raving hateball.

] '''Interface administrator changes'''
For what it's worth, the material I added to this article seems pretty straight-forward to me. Those who support the estate tax commonly consider it ridiculously unfair to get rid of this, of all taxes. The whole thing screams rich people protecting rich people, wanting their children to come out on top, and rationalizing why this is all for the greater good. I'll say I was interested to see how closely, but not exactly surprised, that the Alstott article seems to cover all of these points. I notice Rawls is in the first citation. As she later says, "Starting from conditions of equality, if everyone could then agree to make a change, either despite their divergent views and interests and prejudices (this is Ackerman's device) or from a position in which they cannot know their station (this is Rawls's original position), then the substance of their agreement would be worthy of respect." A few paragraphs up: "One familiar device, used in varying forms by different theorists, is to inquire whether citizens debating the issue in some (more-or-less) ideal setting might consent to inequality. Even without entering into the debates over just how thick the veil of ignorance ought to be.... one can imagine a plausible range of solutions, all involving significant (but not confiscatory) taxation of inheritance...." All I did, in the last bit you removed, was to clarify what this argument from the "veil of ignorance" is in fact, most simply, alleging: that people oppose the tax due to vested interests rather than sound philosophy. Of course, many more people can be led to oppose something when you come up with a good phrase, like "death tax," and ask them how they feel about that.
:] {{hlist|class=inline

|]
}}
:] ]


] '''CheckUser changes'''
Incidentally, I wonder how you take the first argument under the opposition section. "People should not be punished because they work hard." Is this not silly? If people shouldn't be punished for working hard, how do they support taxing ''earned income'' over ''inheritance''? Then we have, "Free market critics of the estate tax also point out that many attempts at validating the estate tax assume the superiority of socialist/collectivist economic models." And then "For example, proponents of the tax commonly argue that 'excess wealth' should be taxed without offering a definition of what 'excess wealth' could possibly mean and why it would be undesirable if procured through legal efforts." This is argument by buzz word! Admittedly I am interested that to the author, and many readers, it seems to be inconceivable that, in any amount or in any context, putting unearned money into one person's hands but not another's, could be "undesirable." I bet a classroom of kids would get it, if we tried it on them. Not that criticism of "excess wealth" is actually a prominent argument. YMMV.
:] {{hlist|class=inline
|]
|]
}}


] '''Guideline and policy news'''
If I'm cynical, I say people oppose the estate tax so strongly exactly because of its manifest fairness. It's a tax that promotes equality of opportunity (not of results), self reliance, earning your own way, the basic connection between wealth and the entitlement to benefit from that wealth that economic conservatives assume in defending the inequality in our system. A tax that makes things more fair than they otherwise would be? That must be stopped! This, I'll acknowledge is "original research," in the sense that I don't care to find someone else who had the same thought.

Apologies for polluting your page here with a bit of chatter, but the truth is I suspect you didn't read the Alstott article very carefully. It isn't anything like an op-ed -- it's a careful analysis of how political lefties approach this topic. Seems quite comprehensive to me, and it certainly covers the material I included. Not that it bothers me too much if you delete a bit. I seem to be here for catharsis, mainly, if you'll please not use that against me. ] (]) 04:53, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

I know it was not your intention to create a controversy, but I went and looked at the links in the restored version. Virtually none count as reliable sources under BLP, and especially BLPCRIME, I feel. They are mostly court documents, news reports about the court case that are one-time events, and market wire pr releases. The effect is to add up to an attack page. So instead of replacing the prod, I tagged it for CSD as an attack page. There was also some discussion at the BLP noticeboard about this page: ]. Thanks. --] ] ] 13:39, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

:::] is irrelevant, as it is about reporting suggestions that someone has committed a crime before a conviction has occurred, and in this case it is clear that convictions have taken place. (That the existence of a court document relating to a case is ''no evidence of notability'' of anyone involved in the case is self-evident, but why it should be regarded as ''an unreliable source'' I have no idea. It is surely the most reliable source of all for the fact of a conviction. Suitable sources for ''establishing notability'' and suitable sources for ''verification of facts'' are not by any means always the same.) It does seem to me that the available sources (by which I mean both those cited and others I have found on searching) fail short of establishing notability by Misplaced Pages's standards, and so deletion via AfD would seem reasonable. However, the sources do confirm the essential facts recorded in the article, so I cannot see it as ] candidate, "biographical material about a living person that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced". ] (]) 20:05, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Yesterday, you posted on my Talkpage a warning for violation of the three-revert rule.

You're demanding they throw out all their pictures and rearrange their furniture because you don't like it, but you don't know WHY they have arranged their home the way it is. Maybe there is a reason. After all, the rules for interior decorating in their home (Misplaced Pages) are FAR different from the rules in your home (your website or blog). The rules are totally different here, and if you don't learn them and listen to what we're telling you, you will end up getting blocked. It's that simple.

Never attempt to force/push your POV into the article over the objections of other editors. The resulting article will likely never satisfy you, and that's okay. That's the way it's supposed to be. Other editors have a right to their input, and they will likely find reliable sources documenting POV with which you disagree, but NPOV requires the inclusion of opposing POV. If a subject is fringe, the article will document that fact and the mainstream POV will be dominant. We simply reflect what RS say.

:: You also need to remember to use edit summaries for every edit and comment, use the edit history to check for edit summaries before making edits, sign your edits properly (using four tildes ('''<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>'''), etc.. I'm going to leave a welcome template at the top of your talk page. It has lots of good links to help you get up to speed. Read them very carefully before proceeding. I will also leave a modified copy of this message, just for the record. -- ] (]) 23:41, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Something

Hello there, dear sir. I would like to inform you that there is no need to have removed my edit to the year 1993. The edit that I made to this page is a relevant edit. If you were to have read the page, you would have known that the actress who I edited onto the page was born in 1993, so technically it is relevant information. If you see this, please take note. Thank you, The Editor.

P.S. My account is both more than 4 days old and I have made more than 10 edits, so there is no real need to do this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Impishfont (talk • contribs) 23:11, November 25, 2019 (UTC)
