Dartmouth College v. Woodward

I responded on the talk page you moved this discussion to.Tstrobaugh (talk) 00:25, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

I read the talk page so not necessary to waste storage space on these messages which means more energy use on a server which leads to global warming, or cooling, or pollution, or something. :-) Thanks. CarolMooreDC (talk) 00:38, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Final discussion for Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

Hello, I note that you have commented on the first phase of Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

As this RFC closes, there are two proposals being considered:

1. Proposal to Close This RfC
2. Alternate proposal to close this RFC: we don't need a whole new layer of bureaucracy

Your opinion on this is welcome. Okip 02:05, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

A simple formula

Hi Carol!

I've been trying to avoid the headache of the policy pages, so haven't been paying much attention lately, but I did notice your comment earlier. I fully agree. I think policy should be as easy to understand as possible, and tied together more. For accuracy, if I were to try to make it clearer, I would say:

By fact we mean attributes that can be verified and double checked.

By value or opinion, on the other hand, we mean principles, ideas, beliefs or conclusions, which may be subject to dispute.’’

I think that not only complies with the spirit of the policies, but also with the sourced definitions. Personally, I'd sum all of the policies up in one "parent article," to clarify how they all interconnect, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, thanks. Zaereth (talk) 22:17, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Double checked is redundant and probably would be reverted - and reverting it might be an excuse to mess it up. So I'm inclined to leave it alone and be glad it makes sense now! :-) CarolMooreDC (talk) 13:40, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

You're probably right, which is one reason I decided to bring it up here instead of there. Baby steps, I guess. I'm glad it finally makes sense too. Thanks again, and I hope to see you around Wikiland. Zaereth (talk) 16:15, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Libertarianism article

Defining the details and history of Libertarianism is fine and dandy, but if people don't understand the train of thought that goes on inside libertarians, then ignorance will surely continue to cloud their minds. That is why I advocate with strong conviction the addition of quotes, poetry, motto's, slogans, and whole passages that expound upon the very logic and emotion of what Libertarianism is. --174.23.200.192 (talk) 10:24, 10 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.23.200.192 (talk) 10:23, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Start an article on that topic and link from main article. CarolMooreDC (talk) 14:05, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Libertarianism#Insufficient_reason_to_delete_much_of_lead

Hi there. You posted a note on my talk page, but I don't think it applies to me. Someone else removed the contents of the lead. Torchiest (talk | contribs) 15:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. Somehow got confused. Removed the note. Also, FYI, I just leave a note if an editor edits article again, ignoring talk. Since the actual person in question didn't edit again, just going to revert, given talk. CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Sami Al-Arian

I don't know if you've checked in on this article lately, but it's now highly slanted against Arian. This is due largely to the editor Epeefleche. I thought about making edits to it, but I've been involved in some nasty edit wars recently and don't feel like getting into another long drawn out fight at this moment. I just wanted to bring it to your attention. annoynmous 04:30, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't feel like a fight either - except I'm the fighting Irish so I probably won't be able to control myself... :-) Also will alert some folks if you haven't on a couple relevant pages. CarolMooreDC (talk) 12:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry to bother you again because I know you said you didn't feel like getting involved, but the situation is worse than I thought. It's not just this article, but any article that deals with Al Arian or with Islamic organizations like CAIR or the Islamic Society of North America. Biased sources are used throughout to make muslims looks as bad as possible. It seems that ever sense the Nidal hassan shooting Epeefleche has been trying to make muslims look bad on as many articles as he can. I made some edits to the article on Steve Emerson, but I don't have the strength to engage in an edit war across several articles.

I left a message on the Israel Palestine Collaboration/Current Article Issues page about both the Al-Arian and Emerson articles, but I'm not sure that was the right place to post. You mentioned before about alerting several people to this issue. I know you may not want get involved personally at this point, but I would appreciate it if you could alert anybody you feel may share the same concerns as you and I. There are literally dozens of articles dealing with Muslim organizations and issues that are now heavily biased. annoynmous 00:16, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
