It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Race and intelligence. Please be careful not to remove content from Misplaced Pages without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Scientizzle 20:35, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

your edits to Genetics

I have restored the journals you deleted from the list in Genetics, because you gave no explanation for their removal. (I checked the first on the list, and it does seem to exist.) In addition, the edit was made after significant vandalism to the page, so I simply reverted to a previous version. When editing pages -- especially when deleting content -- please give an explanation for the edit in the comments section. Probably once it's explained to me it'll be okay, but I'll revert it if I don't understand the deletion. Thanks...

Regarding the rewording of the sentence, breaking into two, I've chewed over that phrase a lot. I originally wrote it intending to say something like "while genetics was implicitly used, now we actually study it scientifically"... then, it was argued to me by someone else that the "while" made it confusing, so I did the "genetics was implicitly used, and now we study it scientifically" structure. Splitting it into two sentences destroys any remnant of "contrast" I meant it to have, maybe I should just delete the part about implicitly used (a remnant from the original version of the intro before I rewrote it).

I'm working on a draft (User:Madprime/Genetics) to add content to the page, if you're interested in helping out. Madeleine 13:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

On the wording -- I left your change, it's fine. I was just reflecting on it, in case you had a better idea.  :) Madeleine 15:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Just when you thought they couldn't play any dirtier...

I thought you might be interested in this . All I have to say is - how low can they go? When you have a moment, please weigh in on the AFD discussion page, so that your vote isn't arbitrarily discounted. Thanks! Cleo123 02:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Category:Card video games

I was about to close this CFD, but I found the debate there a bit confusing. It is obvious that the two cats should be merged; it is not obvious what the final name should be. Could you please look over the suggested names and indicate a preference? Thanks. >Radiant< 08:43, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Math

Yes, it would seem that DRV is more vulnerable to vote stacking than most of our processes. Something may need to be done about that. >Radiant< 13:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Allegations

"come from a sect of wikipedia editors…", " to note that they are not representativie of wikipedians in general but rather representative of a small sect of wikipedians."

• Your own opinion, and one designed to poison the well. -- Avi 18:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Regarding my comment regarding AGF with you

I checked your contribs, seems like you're not after LGBT cats/lists, but several others. Sorry if I offended you with that comment, but it at first glance appeared you were going after LGBT items. My mistake. --Whstchy 15:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll admit, I partially did (I myself am not straight), also that it was worth keeping from my view. On the other hand, not to sound rude, but if you nominate something like that, you'll get feedback like that. --Whstchy 15:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

American actors ...

I'll help ... -- Prove It 21:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

LGBT cats

Gimme some time to look at these. But, um, Joel Schumacher doesn't make gay movies? Have you not seen his Batman films, come on. Otto4711 22:10, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey...in looking at the LGBT professions categories I can't at this point get behind the deletion of any of them. I think they're all worthwhile. If your arguments against them are the same as for the other CFDs then I have to go against you one them, but if there are other arguments I will certainly do my best to consider them with an open mind.

SSP

After a few weeks of wondering if Arbcom was going to ever do anything, they really came through: Surprisingly, the whole matter seems to be wrapped up now. --W.marsh 05:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Discussion outside of the AFD

Bulldog123,

My comment on the AFD for the List of Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients concerning your "you do understand" comment was to note that I find that comment that you addressed to me to lack the civility we expect between editors. If you take issue with Tony's comment to you, address it to him, not to me. To tell me to "cut the crap" seems to be an attempt to escalate this into a personal grude. I've read your comments and responded with complete civility. I hope that you will do the same.

I would have appreciated it if you would have notified the article's creator and major contributors of your nomination; it is likely that the contributors to other articles that you nominate for deletion would likewise appreciate the notice.

— ERcheck (talk) 17:14, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Please don't create an unnecessary dispute between us over a worthless AFD. Keep these messages on the AfD or simply get over it. Bulldog123 20:53, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Cfd

Thanks for having the cojones to nominate the ethnic actor cats; it may not pass this time around, but in time it will. It has taken me a long while to come to the conclusion now strongly held that all ethnic, religious, race categories are wrong here at WP. Perhaps an exception can be drawn in the political arena, but not in acting. See also the African American debate in Afd. Having been a vocal participant in Afd's and Cfd's for a while, I was gratified that you nominated these and that you did nominate all of them. Invariably, when I see these types of cats nominated, the first group whose category gets nominated is the Jews, then the Kurds, and then it's as if the motivation has run out (which although I can assume good faith, it's probably true that it has run out), no one else bothers to follow through. It's part of our systemic bias and I'm glad that you exhibited great courage in your nom. Carlossuarez46 22:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The list

If youre referring to Modern Iranian scientists, scholars, and engineers, I suggest we edit out all business people except the exceptional such as the likes of Pierre Omidyar and Omid Kordestani. That alone will clear up the list by a great deal.

We can then further trim the list by getting rid of mere professors. As I repeatedly stated on the talk page, they have to be chairs, directors, senior researchers, or hold distinguished positions inorder to be listed.

I am currently busy with lots of other housekeeping tasks in both English and Persian Misplaced Pages. Im kind of tied down at the moment. So I cant help at th this time.

But I will revisit that article in the near future (a few weeks). It does need a clean up, certainly.--Zereshk 23:41, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Contested prod

Hi.

Please see Misplaced Pages:Proposed_deletion#Conflicts. Your argument appears to be just re-iterating the PROD comments. But I'm not convinced that the PROD is uncontroversial, as I've seen similar topics survive AfD discussions in the past. There are also similar lists for other faiths (e.g. List of Islamic historians, List of Muslim philosophers, List of Hindu mathematicians, Hindu entertainers, &c.) My preference would be to reach a consensus via an AfD. Or, even better, by reaching a consensus policy. Sorry to be difficult. — RJH (talk) 20:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Lists are not the same as categories. I suggest proposing a policy at Misplaced Pages:Village pump (proposals). — RJH (talk) 20:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/List of arrested Bengals

You do realize the article we are discussing is about the Cincinnati Bengals and their players, not about the people of West Bengal, Bangladesh. Also, the "Bengal" in Cincinnati Bengals refers to the Bengal Tiger not people.--Cincydude55 13:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Unreasonable

I'm not going to keep arguing about this with you. Good day. — RJH (talk) 19:47, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm asking you politely to cease and desist. Thank you. — RJH (talk) 20:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll try again. Please stop leaving messages on my talk page regarding this matter. Thank you. — RJH (talk) 20:23, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
