Curious

Curious how you came by to show up at this discussion??? Would appreciate a response. Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 16:12, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Its happens to be on Watchlist, as are alot of the NRM articles on Misplaced Pages. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 16:34, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Curious, as you had never posted there before. When did you add it to your watchlist? Why? -- Cirt (talk) 16:34, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Because, NRMs topics are an area I am interested in and its an almost Iconic phrase of the 70s and 80s. I dont remember, I was to say its been within the the last month and a half. Probably mid october or so I added all alot of NRM topics to my watchlist. I frankly havent posted anything because a lack of things to talk about on the talk page. This is really the first thing I have had any comment on. Just as a note I have all the the articles that FA, GA, HIgh and Top importance articles that are part of the WP:NRM on My watchlist. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 16:43, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Understood. Thank you for the response. Most appreciated, -- Cirt (talk) 16:46, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Concerns

Would love to learn more about your concerns, and generally about WP and editing.

Mediation, Yes, that was suggested. I am attempting to disuss the issues, and we will see how that goes first. But I am learning, and I didn't think I a block would have been handed down when editors were section blanking referenced additions from major news sourses. I engaged in talk on article page, warned about them blanking my info on user pages, and I guess it was all me getting baited into a 3rr block, well played on thier part HAHA. That is if we move past assuming good faith. Frankly, I thought my references and edits met WP:V and were equal weight to the pro hannity anecdotes that the past editors chose to include. I thought WP:Well Known would have applied as well. I referenced this on the pages of the editors reverting my work, and on the talk page. The fact that they are writing "waterboarding' was a non issue, and nobody watched it" shows bias IMHO, and the fact that they want to include a rebuttle to an allegation (but not the facts themselves) shows the same, again IMHO. That is why I chose to edit the article, and investigate the issue. I have additional references no to support my changes and additions. The undue weight given to rebuttals to editors inclusions to the page, as well as the fast reverts and undo's smacks of "ownership" and scrubbing to me. I don't know if those are the right WP slang phrases though. Looking forward to your input. On both my edits and theirs.Thanks Bluebadger1 (talk) 03:31, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much

Thank you, for your positive comments about my work, in the deletion discussion for the article Werner Erhard vs. Columbia Broadcasting System at the AFD page Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Werner Erhard vs. Columbia Broadcasting System.

COI on ANI

Greetings,

We can see that JJBulten has canvassed for support on the ANI:

http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Griswaldo#Longevity_COI

This is typical of his misbehavior. I suggest that JJBulten is the one who really needs to be "reined in." His editing has made Misplaced Pages articles on longevity less reliable and a bigger mess than they would be if he were not allowed to continue editing on Misplaced Pages. This is something to think about.Ryoung122 20:31, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much

Thank you, very much, for your comments at Talk:Werner_Erhard_vs._Columbia_Broadcasting_System#Coatrack_or_not.3F regarding the attacks being made against me by users DaveApter (talk · contribs) and THF (talk · contribs). -- Cirt (talk) 04:51, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I also posted another comment, in that section. I hope you are doing well. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 05:13, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Sex, Slander, and Salvation

Updated DYK queryOn 13 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sex, Slander, and Salvation, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Sex, Slander, and Salvation was published just before David Berg's death and the Love Charter's reorganization of the Family International? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Folk etymology: Your input requested

Hi, RA-- I am looking for people with interests in folklore (editors I’ve encountered on folklore/mythology articles as well as elsewhere) to visit talk:Folk etymology, where there is an ongoing edit dispute. One view (three people) holds that the term is exclusive to linguistics, and another (just me) finds that the term has been formally defined within folklore, and used in academic journals in that sense for more than a century. The page is currently locked. I ask your input not in support of either view, but because discussion seems to have come to a standstill, it seems to be a page few stumble across, and needs fresh viewpoints to get unstuck. Thanks!
