disambig

You were going about that Kelly Clarkson disambig all wrong. There was already a dab page at Breakaway. I added the Beach Boys link there and moved her song to Breakaway (Kelly Clarkson song). You erased the entire article, and we try to keep the edit histories intact without doing that. Regards, Mike H. That's hot 08:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, I just saw, no problem.

I also moved your article to Breakaway (Beach Boys song). Regards, Mike H. That's hot 08:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Chomsky

You have added

Has an admiration for Bolivia and Evo Morales and socialist states in general. Refers to the People's Republic of China as one of the world's leading peaceloving states (Speech, Binghamton University, March 4, 2006)

In future please refrain from adding unsourceable / misleading text to articles. Zleitzen 12 March 2006

Thank you for replying to my post. Please understand that the aim of Misplaced Pages is to construct established academic encyclopaedia methods. Your additions would not be sufficient within that context, as you have confirmed that the only source is yourself. Given that your statements are contentious, it is only correct that they should be removed until sources have been legitimately referenced.

Your statement concerning Chomsky and China is contentious and potentially misleading to readers when compared to the statement Chomsky makes here

http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=90&ItemID=6751

Chomsky quotes the former Director of Foreign Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution, John Steinbruner who said the words“US militarism and aggressiveness will be countered by a coalition of peace-loving states, led by China” Chomsky adds “We have come to a pretty pass when such words are expressed in the most respectable and sober journals. It is also worth noting how deep is the despair of the authors over the state of American democracy. Whether or not the assessment is merited is for activists to determine.”

Therefore Chomsky is merely quoting Steinbruner rather than expressing that opinion himself. Unless there is evidence otherwise then the matter cannot be continued --Zleitzen 20:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism Report

I was working on a paper-I still am-and am reverting edits from user 151.188.16.40. He has appeared to contribute nothing except vandalism. Worse, some of these are undetected, and updated after. He has been blocked several times, and I'm wondering if this IP can be blocked once and for all. J. M. 08:43, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I would be happy to help with this. Can you give me a link to the article being vandalised in order for me to compare the edits in the history, please? I can also look at the other contributions from this IP address. Regards, (aeropagitica) 12:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Nordic Council

Hello. This edit of yours effectively undid a prior edit made by me. Your edit summary simply stated rv. vandalism. This is inappropriate use of both the edit summary and the term vandalism irritates me. I strongly advise you not to use "vandalism" as an epithet, but only refer to an edit as such if it is beyond reasonable doubt that the edit in question does in fact constitute vandalism. I have now restored my prior edit, and will be keeping a watchful eye on that article's talk page to see if you are going to explain your grievances there or post any constructive suggestions for how the article might be improved. BigAdamsky|TALK|EDITS| 13:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Commented on prior page. The vandalism came from another author, hence why I went back a few pages. Everything should be settled now.J. M. 07:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Phish

First of all, welcome to wikipedia, it looks as if you are new. But if you are not, disregard that. I dont want to get off to a bad start, but, if i may speak candidly, exactly how much of the Phish article did you read. Now, dont get me wrong, i am not trying to criticize. Its just been that in the past, people who have posted an NPOV tag, read only parts of the article, found one or two NPOV statements and freaked out.

Now, you said you were unable to remove the NPOV because you dont know enough about the band or music. But, NPOV can be removed without having any knowledge of the topic you are reading about. For example, take these to statements: "Kevin Garnett, one of the best basketball players in the NBA..." - this is obviously an NPOV statement, so, even if you didnt know a thing about basketball, you could easily remove the NPOV by changing the grammer, such as "Kevin Garnett, an American basketball player in the NBA..."

So, with this example, you dont need to know anything except basic grammer to remove a bulk of the NPOV that is in articles. So, for now i am going to remove the NPOV tag and i encourage you to re-read through the article and remove the small NPOV you may see, or post on the talk page if you are unsure or have questions. Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions.--Gephart 07:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I've read the article. There's no criticism of Phish. Even on The Beatles or The Beach Boys contain criticism. There's none here. Not one trace. And I like Phish. And there's a ton of irrelevent information to the casual reader, about as much equal to, say, the Brian Wilson page (Which itself is hopelessly POV, and I've changed a few words from "realized" to "believed", etc. because mono mixing is not a "realization" as better than stereo, its an opinion, etc.). Hence, also, fanboy. I wrote on the discussion page.J. M. 07:11, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
