Unfair on David Icke?Hi, You reverted a post saying, "(Reverted 1 edit by Arrivisto (talk): Per WP:BLP - that is a serious violation of Wikipedia's policies regarding articles about living people." I disagree. I wrote: "Although Icke has become a successful author and a well-paid (albeit long-winded) public speaker,[15] [16][17] he has struggled to escape from the overwhelming public view that his opinions are incoherent nonsense with no scientific basis, and that he may be mentally unhinged.[18][19]. I think this was fair. I did edit this myself to change "mentally unhinged" to "deluded" ("delusional" would be even better), but that was reverted. It is clear to anyone who adopts Karl Poppers's scientific method that there is nothing scientific nor valid in Icke's ramblings. He may have got a couple of things right, such as Jimmy Saville was a paedophile (no surprise!), but his overall theories are absurd. So, let's consider what I wrote and see if, as you allege, it really is "Per WP:BLP - that is a serious violation ". He has" become a successful author" (tick), even though he writes drivel. A "well-paid (albeit long-winded) public speaker" (tick) one address lasted 11 hours! "he has struggled to escape from the overwhelming public view that his opinions are incoherent nonsense with no scientific basis". (tick) Mainstream opinion is precisely as I stated. "and that he may be mentally unhinged." This is the majority view, but I would be happy for it to be reworded so as to cause no offence. I changed "professional conspiracy theorist" to "career conspiracy theorist" (tick); there is no such "profession', nor is he "professional". (If you are American, for "tick", read "check".) What I am not prepared to do is to sit and watch this page become as impossible to amend as the Mormons page or the Scientologists page. It MUST represent encyclopaedic truth, even though cultists and groupies hate to see their crazy idols criticised. Arrivisto (talk) 09:11, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

D&D articlesIs there a particular reason for that revert or are you trying to force discussion for the sake of discussion? You must know that pretty much all of these are dead, abandoned articles. Nobody is going to discuss them. There is no way to obtain a consensus. I'm in for the long-haul at this point, so I'll gladly take all of them to AfD over the next year to keep anonymous people from reverting them all four months later. But at the same time, is it really necessary to pretend this is some kind of controversial move? If you truly believe any of them to be notable, it is entirely in your right to revert a bold redirect, but can you please not do so just out some kind of feeling that there absolutely needs to be a discussion of every single article? TTN (talk) 14:59, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
WarningYour recent editing history at Karl Marx shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. There are plenty problems here. First, it takes a secondary source to establish whether this or that opinion or article by someone is notable--whether it is worthwhile mentioning it in the first place. This should go without saying. Second, secondary sourcing helps establish whether this summary of someone's arguments is neutral and correct. Drmies (talk) 01:31, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi, let's talk about Bruno Bettelheim, and I welcome your helpIt's a difficult subject. There are multiple sources saying the guy misrepresented his credentials. I could very much use your help steering a middle course. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 19:39, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Revert on Sam Harris articleHi FreeKnowledgeCreator. I noticed you reverted some changes I made on the Sam Harris article, namely, my deletion of some of the criticisms quoted in that section. I undid this revert because I think deleting those criticisms was necessary to improve the balance of that section (which is largely focused on criticism of Harris rather than articulating his views) and the criticisms deleted in particular were grossly misleading accounts of Harris' actual views. It's not merely about disagreeing, it's about getting rid of criticisms that misrepresent the views of a living author. I'm happy to discuss this further but if you could articulate your concerns on the talk page rather than just revert, I'd appreciate it.

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 06:09, 6 November 2016 (UTC) User page contentI think I'll keep content on my user page as it is (in fact might be expanded in future). A note on the top of the page clearly tells visitors that it is a user page and not a Wikipedia article. And I have clearly highlighted the word Christian Mythology and provided a link to Christian mythology main article. Also I think according to Wikipedia policies users are free to manage their own user pages as they like and not what other users like or dictate as long as what they put on their page is not hate-speech, inflammatory, sexually explicit, pornographic, promoting violence against humans and animals or vulgar. And content on my page doesn't promote any of these. So content on my own user page is perfectly valid and factual. Thanks for your suggestion though.

BettelheimHi FreeKnowledgeCreator, I want to thank you for helping me with my writing. After a hiatus away from Wiki, I needed the help to get back into the swing of things. At this point, after several weeks of research and mulling it over, I'm planning to make some major changes to the Bettelheim article, primarily moving the factual content from the lead into the body and going with a far shorter lead, and one which I'm convinced is more than amply supported by our references. Out of respect, I wish to give you this advance notice. On an unrelated note, and this one may not interest you at all, my next project might be to *slowly* work to changing the Christiaan Barnard lead to " . . second heart transplant and first widely-publicized one. .

G. Wells and when you corrected them, they sought out another of my edits (now on The Time Machine (1960 film)) using the same argument (that I need consensus to remove unreferenced material that apparently didn't need consensus to be added). Clearly, their goal is to goad me into an edit war to be blocked (see here) so I wondered if you could advise me on who I might be able to contact to end this wikistalking.

Reference errors on 21 DecemberHello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:22, 22 December 2016 (UTC) BenjiboiWhat actually happened there, just so you know, is that Benjiboi's user talk page actually exists only as a redirect to his user profile page (that was done as part of the process of blocking him). I will remove the notification from the page, but it's not that I made an error as such — I initiated the nomination through Twinkle's XFD module, so it ended up there automatically because of the redirect.

Merry Christmas!BOZ (talk) is wishing you a Merry Christmas! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Don't eat yellow snow! Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:User:Flaming/MC2008}} to their talk page with a friendly message. I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. If you don't like Christmas or just don't celebrate it in any of its forms, then please accept a generic "Happy Holidays".

I don't agree, E.D. Hirsh is confused with Allan BloomIf I think it's a good idea to include E. D. Hirsh among Allan Bloom and Harold Bloom, do you REALLY think it needs to be IMMEDIATELY removed by you, where immediately stands in for "reflexively/thoughtlessly"; I'm assuming you based your thinking on "anybody can confuse two Blooms", i.e. on the name alone, but you are ignoring the political/cultural context. Harold Bloom wrote about "great books" and "E. D. Hirsh" wrote about "great ideas" and both in the context of education reform, but Allan Bloom and E. D. Hirsh were often put together as part of "one movement" even though Allan Bloom wrote about "the closing of the American mind" which is a related but conceptually more different. Harold Bloom himself complains that he is ideologically confused with Allan Bloom, and sure, while the Bloom name figures into it, the ideology is what he's complaining about, and I can't help but think that the convervative press's ideology is what rubbed off onto both of them when Allan Bloom and E.D.Hirsh were conflated by conservative pundits. I don't think it "hurts" to have the "unnecessity" of E.D.Hirsh take up a small amount of space at the top of the page. He has an unusual name, hard enough to recall, and if you are already confused between Allan and Harold Bloom, you may in fact be looking for Hirsch's antecedent to Harold Bloom's book. Reconsider please. 172.56.37.166 (talk) 22:32, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Adorno's Negative DialecticsHi FreeKnowledgeCreator, I'm indeed a newcomer to Wikipedia edition (all my apologies : I just discovered that any edition should be preceded by feeding the talk of a wiki page), and would be grateful, since you're a confirmed member, if you might answer just a few questions. 1. To which point is quoting welcome in Wikipedia (it is very common in philosophy, where the reference to the source is precious to validate any statement, but also to get quickly a clear idea of a philosopher and his work ; however browsing over a few philosophy pages, I realize quotes do no appear often, and indeed Wikipedia policy favors concision) ; any indications on more precise quoting policy (if any defined) would be precious 2. Is there any possibility by adding sections to complete the summary ? (I imagine I've read more scientific Wikipedia pages - which you seem also familiar with - which are often more detailed than this one) 3. Concerning the summary of the page, might it not be possible to complete it a little, possibly based on the German version, for instance ? Thank you in advance for your clarifications :) Kind regards, --StudentInEpistemology (talk) 10:17, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Accusing me of deliberate "disruption" is a violation of WP:AGF and is itself disruptive. ¡Bozzio! 05:27, 15 January 2017 (UTC) Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. ¡Bozzio! 05:29, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

See [4] [5] So please could you monitor Talk:Carl Jung, and discuss it; I'm hoping that will avoid a battle. Thanks! 86.20.193.222 (talk) 19:25, 14 March 2017 (UTC) Hello, 86.20.193.222. Yes, a talk page discussion would be reasonable. Laurelhowe's additions were quite unacceptable in the form in which they were added, but maybe some of the material would be acceptable in a modified form. It's only fair to consider that. Let me just give you some examples of the unacceptable material, however: "Jung made an empirical discovery of the autonomous psyche and its effect on human beings". In principle, that frankly is not any better than, for example, "Freud made an empirical discovery of women's penis envy". It is language that endorses Jung's work, and that is not part of Wikipedia's purpose. Another addition was, "the narrative of his discoveries over his lifetime is most readily gleaned from his autobiography". Again, I'm sure that was well-intentioned, but it amounts to direct advice or instruction to the reader, and again, that's not appropriate to an encyclopedia. A further example: "They are amplified in detail in his Collected Works and published seminars." Again, unnecessary peacock language, using the most flattering terms possible to describe Jung's work. Still another example: "Jung experienced for himself and saw in his patients that the unconscious is the vast unknown itself, the source of mythology and religion as well as individual dreams." See the problem? That uses Wikipedia to endorse Jung's view that "the unconscious is the vast unknown itself" (!) the source of mythology and religion, etc. We don't do things like that. Final example: "He saw that when we become conscious of the psyche and its unconscious contents, we are more likely to make ethical decisions in the face of its dynamic influence." Again that's endorsing or promoting Jung rather than simply describing his work.

Open SocietyHello FKC. I have been without power the last 18 hours--hence the delay. I'm simply trying to do justice to this wonderful book. The existing article is good but just too brief. Please let me know if you are going to revert my work (more than two hours by now), and I'll stop. I have no wish to get into editing wars and I don't think I have a right to improve the work of others--unless the possess Popper's spirit of give and take and critical rationality.

Fair enough. At times though, reversions seem arbitrary. For instance, you reverted my last revision of the lead parag., on the ground that it involved too large a quote. But I inserted this precisely because you didn't like what I've written without a quote. Meanwhile, in all this shuffling and concern about form, substance is lost. We're talking here about THE CENTRAL MESSAGE of the book. Besides all the other omissions in the original summary, that was the worse. I gave you a quotation from Prof. Haworth, showing that indeed the central message is NOT the critique of Plato, Marx, et al., but a DEFENSE of democracy. But you deleted it, on technical grounds. How about a compromise: You let me insert that one sentence, with a citation? If not, my work and yours have been wasted, and the 70 visitors a day will not know what the book's CENTRAL message is. Up to you my friend to exercise or not to exercise Popper's critical rationality.Brachney (talk) 23:29, 13 May 2017 (UTC)Brachney

I don't know whether you have a particular interest in alternate religious movements or not, but if you do, you might be interested in the article Heathenry (new religious movement) undergoing FAC at the moment (here).

Hi, I don't see a source in that article that shows that Heideggar "broke with catholicism" I believe what is appropriate is to remove that statement not to confuse readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhiteKnight138 (talk • contribs) 09:29, 18 May 2017 (UTC) FreudHi, I don't understand how you can't accept that as a reliable reference. Of course, it doesn't directly say "Freud had influence on kierkegaard". Read these statements "in which he brought Kierkegaard and other philosophers together with psychoanalysis" "People in the psychiatric community began associating Kierkegaard and Freud in the late nineteen-forties".
Of course there won't be a statement directly saying that Kierkegaard was an influence anywhere, why are you making this so difficult? Are really here in this encyclopedia to help? It is a fact that Freud had Kierkegaard as one of his influences. Even this popular youtuber who speaks about existentialist philosophy confirms it. [1] See 17:54 User:WhiteKnight138
Then why are there no references for the other influences of Freud? There are simply none. == Freud == Hi, I don't understand how you can't accept that as a reliable reference. Of course, it doesn't directly say "Freud had influence on kierkegaard". Read these statements "in which he brought Kierkegaard and other philosophers together with psychoanalysis" "People in the psychiatric community began associating Kierkegaard and Freud in the late nineteen-forties".
Kierkegaard is the father of existentialism, he created a branch that is fundamental for both philosophy and psychology, also he explored a lot the concept of anxiety that is of extreme importance for psychiatry. And remember, I am not here to debate, this is the truth. Why are there no references for the other influences of Freud? It makes no sense that Wikipedia demands a very explicit declaration as a source. User:WhiteKnight138
it doesn't support many of the Influences mentioned from what I can tell.

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted onThis is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at: Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox. The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article". The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.". Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:39, 26 June 2017 (UTC) Please take a look at The Uses of EnchantmentHi, I've made some significant changes to The Uses of Enchantment and would like to have your input.

Free Knowledge and 2030 Trustworthy Knowledge GoalHello. I found you with a lot of hard work I won't get into at the moment, it was technical beyond my ability to explain and I had some outstanding assistance with it. I like your user name and your boxes are helpful. I like your edit history as far as the Hitler article. Please bear with me. I am navigating through toolbar, rootkit, hook and particle man land at times because of my day job. I haven't used Wikipedia in the way I might benefit most from until I noticed the Wikipedia 2030 Trustworthy Knowledge campaign and since then I have tried to be as participatory as possible. Are you feeling optimistic about this goal? I am optimistic if people can get past the quirks that sometimes happen with webpages, including here on Wikipedia. As I write this talk I have had to try and prevent the auto scroll as I get to the bottom of the screen from shutting off as I type. Fortunately it worked after three attempts to force it to stay on. Recently, I have had to keep resetting my account to load articles with the sections open. It's very important for me to keep from needing to click open lengthy articles in case I can't see well enough to read and require to use Siri Speak. I have dry eye and sometimes I just can't track as I read. I'm initiating a talk with you because ten days ago you edited something on Godwin article. The article came up high in my link suggestion as I was typing in an unrelated query. I'm glad it did because as a 44 year old Reagan era kid, I have not had access to some of the information within that article. Maybe your recent edit gave it some priority in my graph search. I hope so. I'm not sure where I am going from here but at least I'm not bored. I hope that if you find you have more articles to write that you do, but maybe your edits are working to help reach a good goal. Lately, my home page has been hitting the mark for me with Featured Articles. It's been consistently keen and I have no idea if the people working on those articles know how much they are helping me get started each day before my coffee cup is empty, but it's been good, even when I am not sure of the value of the topic to my daily focus. Oh, that reminds me. I wanted to find out which year the Slinky was patented after reading the featured article from a couple of days ago among some other interesting points that I noticed. I'm looking over the edge of a housing development that may not have had a fully fledged plan before it began. It has very wishful starting points, some small lengths of well laid sidewalks with the grade of cement that doesn't hurt little knees too badly if they stumble while playing. But the sidewalks end abruptly and the very last corner lot never got a pad to build on. I'm near that spot as I take this walk. Past the other side of the street that borders the edge of the development is a large and flat area that stays desolate and empty all summer but as soon as it is Labor Day it will become a city of fantastic recreational vehicles and other off-roading home base equipment overnight. Some friendly soccer mom type might knock to see if the old tenants are here to let a few kids use the shower or bath tub in exchange for her house cleaning and a nice cooked meal. I know the old tenants and I'll probably say yes and make a new acquaintance. I hope that the agricultural experiments in this area will complete soon. It seems that extentions on this zoning might go on indefinitely and that's a shame. I see so much potential here. I'm glad to have seen you here. It's hard to find trustworthy knowledge but for right now, free knowledge seems like something I don't want to pass by. Cheers. Kethertomalkuth (talk) 07:59, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

3RRYou have now reverted on the Quinto article three times, and I remind you that 3RR is a bright line rule. I have pointed out several times that posting that a view is expressed by multiple people shows that it is not isolated. You are removing references that support Quinto having made the statement, all of which include mention of others expressing similar views, showing that reliable sources are of the view that the breadth of people holding the view is relevant. You are disputing the inclusion of eight words in the Quinto article, and making nearly identical reversions across multiple articles. You are clearly following every edit I make, which is not only uncivil but also potentially edit warring. You have not responded to the substantive points which I have made beyond describing my comments as "mumbo jumbo" at the Rapp talk page. You do not own any article on WP, nor do you have the right to revert everything you don't like without even retaining the content that is unambiguous improvement (adding archiving of refs, wikilinks, minor corrections).

Primal therapy, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy@FreeKnowledgeCreator: You just reverted the last edits to Psychoanalysis § Criticism and Primal therapy § Criticism, both with the edit summary "Section has no relevance specifically to [article]". These are both widely considered to be particular forms of psychotherapy, so general critiques of psychotherapy are relevant to the criticism sections in these articles. The first few words of Primal therapy say: "Primal therapy is a trauma-based psychotherapy"; the first few words of Psychoanalysis do not explicitly call it a theory and practice of psychotherapy, but notice that psychoanalysis is listed in List of psychotherapies and Template:Psychotherapy, and see also, e.g., Wolitzky, David L. (2011). "Psychoanalytic theories of psychotherapy". In Norcross, John C.; VandenBos, Gary R.; Freedheim, Donald K. (eds.). History of psychotherapy: continuity and change (2nd ed.).
