Please do be nice.

Please read before posting!

I don't always post a full rationale for everything I do, since doing this would take an inordinate amount of time. I do always have one, though, and will be happy to tell you why I did anything if you ask.

PLEASE READ HERE FIRST before asking deletion-related questions.

Please feel free to post suggestions/comments/flames/whatever.

If you haven't posted a comment already, please put it under a new section at the bottom of the page using markup:


==Section header==
Your comment ~~~~

or click here.

If you have, please post it under the section you started. Responses will be made on your talk page unless you request otherwise.

This page will be archived regularly, generally by an automated process, but that doesn't mean I consider the discussion closed if you have more to say. If your old comments are archived please start a new section on this page for further comment. Please remember to sign your comments using ~~~~.

If I contacted you on your talk page, I'll keep it on watch. Please feel free to reply either there or on this page, whichever's easier for you.

Please refrain from personal attacks. Personal attacks made against me made on this page will be left on it, but this in no way indicates that I approve of them or will not report them if they are severe or continuous. Personal attacks against other editors will be removed or reverted.

3RR

I believe you are mistaken in your evaluation of the 3RR report I filed with regard to Rm Uk. the 2nd & 3rd reverts are identical, the 4th is explicitly described by the editor as a revert, and the only difference between the 1st and 2nd revert is the use of "The rest of the 192 member states of the UN" vs. "all other nations" . Please review this, keeping in mind that 3RR tells us "An editor does not have to perform the same revert on a page more than three times to breach this rule; all reverts made by an editor on a particular page within a 24 hour period are counted." - and in all 4 cases the user in question reverted my actions.

i try but all i've been getting lately is warning messages on my talk page and reverts without edit messages. Linestouch

Question on marked copyvio

I also checked Google for that case, and found nothing. However, I suspect that the editor who added that material was simply copying a primary source (presumably a text). I base this on the style of the writing, the fact that it was uploaded all at once, and the editing history of the account (new account, posting material at a rate faster than any human can type).

Self-published sources (online and paper)

Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources.

Self-published material may be acceptable when produced by a well-known, professional researcher (scholarly or non-scholarly) in a relevant field. These may be acceptable so long as their work has been previously published by reliable third-party publications. However, exercise caution: if the information in question is really worth reporting, someone else is likely to have done so.

Self-published sources, such as blogs, should never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP.

I have no problem with the source being used but it should be stated in the page that he is a primary author of the page, and that his own blog is used as a source of criticisms of the movie, this is clearly potentially a point of bias and readers should know this.

Also you reverted my correction about the number of scientists that sent the letter of complaint, this a very specific detail from the source given for the sentence. Hardyplants 10:44, 29 April 2007 (UTC) The authors of both the letter and of the page in question are pretty clear. It looks to me like the proper use of a primary source, generally speaking (purely descriptive claim, attributed to the source rather than in an editorial voice.) Regardless, though, the inclusion of the material should be discussed as a whole. If you believe the source is inappropriate, by all means argue against its inclusion, but we've never done "disclaimers" like that. Specification of the exact number isn't problematic, of course, an increase in specificity is always good. Seraphimblade Talk to me 13:45, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

From your somewhat verbose answer I am going to conclude that you did not understand the issue. Simply stated: If Tom says that S=4. And Ken produces a book saying that Tom is wrong. Then Tom produces a article in wikipedia about Ken's book, and says "many think" Tom is wrong and uses a quote from his own web (Toms) page as evidence that Ken is wrong and Tom is thus part of the many that he uses as a reference.

Would it not be proper to state in the page in wikipedia that the page is heavily produced by Tom when the pages uses him as an expert also.

I do not have a problem with the reference as long as those reading the page know that the person being quoited as an expert, is also the one producing the Article.Hardyplants 15:11, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

re: Turkey

I have no idea how the FA star got removed - I did do a history dump last night, but it screwed up halfway through and I needed considerable help from Shresth91 to get it all fixed up. If you look at what I deleted, you'll see that all the lost revisions are completely useless, and I didn't remove anything that added useful content to the page. So I'm really, really not sure how the FA bit got lost. I'm not sure who to ask for help, though. – Riana 15:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I reverted back to the 25 April version by Denizz, which seems to have restored things back to normal. Fingers crossed. – Riana 15:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Turkey

Just a quick note - I noticed you'd tagged that article as fully protected but that protection has just expired. Regards. Will (aka Wimt) 18:05, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Yeah worth trying it with semi for a while. Will (aka Wimt) 18:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Belginusanl's sockpuppets

Many thanks! You couldn't indefinitely block his IP address too while you're at it? All edits from this IP address over the last year appear to be from this same user, and today, possibly as a response to the blocking of the sockpuppets, he's posted the same image to another 8 or 9 pages. I've posted the request at the intervention page. Again, thanks. - Gobeirne 11:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Zile

Hi, Can you copy edit the article when you have time? Thanks--Ugur Olgun 17:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

  • I rewrote a huge portion and I wanted to hear your comments about syntax and flow. By the way, I have to say that any comment will be useful.
