I would like to express my appreciation for your fairness and even temper in dealing with POV editors within the ] articles. The antagonizing and instigating that goes on within the discussion pages seriously detracts from the goal of producing an NPOV set of articles, and it is taking editors not affiliated with Jehovah's Witnesses to be able to call them on their manners and unfair editing. Witnesses who tried were repeatedly bombarded with rude, uncivil, insulting and denegrating responses, and any effort to obtain an NPOV edit was shot back with accusations of attempting to decieve (the world, I guess). Again, thank you. - ] 04:22, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Mediation: Computer Science

This comment is meant to be informal to hopefully correct a concern before we begin. You mentioned that my used sources are spurious. In good faith, I am totally confused by your comment. Do you mean to state that I conterfieted sources? That is a common assumption over the word spurious. I hope you meant to say that the sources are not harmonuous with generally expected x, y, and z methods. If not, I feel like my many-many hours of time taken to track down sources are waisted.

The general assumption I have on wikipedia is that expertise is welcome, but it doesn't relieve anybody of the need to cite sources. When my expertise is questioned, I have taken the time to find sources if I don't already have them. Sometimes, it seems every bit of added information is questioned and sources are requested. Well, I have gone as far as to only judge if to directly use entire content or not rather than to incorporate expertise or reflect on other content. It appears some people target users as far as a psychopathic style to pressure a point. Misplaced Pages is still globally young, and I predict it will play a major factor in mediation between different cultures.

I'm glad you stated your viewpoint of what you initially agree with for a definition of CS. — Dzonatas 13:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

In re 3RR

I last reverted the Jim Hightower article eight days ago. I hardly think I'm in any danger of violating the rule a week later. -12.217.121.245 21:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

template web reference

Hi Steven. Think I'll let you work now there. Looks fine. At Template talk:Book reference/regression tests I have done larger set of tests for book reference (no dev branch yet there). Maybe this could inspire you for web reference. Drop me a note if I can help with anything. Happy template hacking! Adrian Buehlmann 21:38, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Jehovahs Witnesses/Sockpuppets

From the sockpuppet check done by Kelly Martin Talk:Jehovah's_Witnesses#Sockpuppet_check I think it is now clear that most, if not all, of the sockpuppets/impersonators were actually Retcon. It is hard to tell with the anonymous IP editors: many are almost certainly controlled by regular registered editors given the nature of the edits. CarbonCopy (talk) 15:15, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Jim Hightower

Hello,

I don't check the bio page of Jim Hightower often, so I didn't realize you had responded regarding Mediation. The person "edit warring" with me keeps putting up factually incorrect information. Looking at Jim's book, that the person keeps citing, there is no mention of Hightower casting his superdelegate vote for Jerry Brown. Hightower has stated to me that he cast his superdelegate vote for Presiden Clinton, because Cinton was the Democratic nominee. I'm happy to discuss this further with user 12.217.121.245 or with you. posted 16:23, January 4, 2006 by Laura74, please sign your posts. Thanks.

Hightower Book

I can't give you a scanned picture, because I don't own a scanner, but I can give you the following information. The line is in There's Nothing In the Middle of the Road But Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos by Jim Hightower, ISBN 0-06-092949, chapter 1, subsection "Vernon Jordan's Dream," page 41. The exact quote is, in reference to his activities at the 1992 Democratic National Convention, "I had supported Senator Tom Harkin's failed bid for the nomination, then moved to Jerry Brown when Harkin bailed out." -12.217.121.245 23:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Jim Hightower superdelegate vote

Thanks for your help. I've gone through the section on the 92 Dem Convention, and nowhere does it say the superdelegate vote was cast for Brown. HIs book doesn't mention who his superdelegate vote was cast for, but Jim says he cast it for Bill Clinton because Clinton was the Dem nominee. I can post the entire text of the section on the 1992 Democratic convention, if you think its necessary. ~Laura74~

Baseball on Wikicities

Hello Stevenwmccrary58, Googie Man here and I want to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan on Misplaced Pages. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Misplaced Pages, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done great work on Misplaced Pages and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man, 16:23, 5 January 2006 (UTC).

Mediation

I gather you are working on the case Misplaced Pages:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/4_01_2006_tired_light ? You forgot to mark the case in the case list, I've made the comment for you. Please change it if you are not working on the case. --Fasten 21:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
