Gen X pagePlease accept my apology if that's true. I checked the edit history and may have been mistaken as there have been quite a lot lately as you may be aware of. All I ask is that people use integrity and go by Wikipedia policy, yet people just do what they want. It gets frustrating. Ledboots (talk) 01:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Is there a reason you deleted the succession box, making what it appears to be more than three reverts in 24 hours, all without adding to the discussion in the talk page specifically pertaining to the succession box? I added to that section -- should you have wanted to revert it, it would be appreciated if you could contribute to that discussion. CaptainMorgan (talk) 03:08, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
You're invited!
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, look at our approval by the Chapters Committee, develop ideas for chapter projects at museums and libraries throughout our region, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the November meeting's minutes and the December mini-meetup's minutes). We'll make preparations for our exciting museum photography Wikipedia Loves Art! February bonanza (on Flickr, on Facebook) with Shelley from the Brooklyn Museum and Alex from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We'll also be collecting folks to join our little Wikipedia Takes the Subway adventure which will be held the day after the meeting. In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

I do have to ask, are you really an inclusionist as the template tag on your user page states? I have met a hell of a lot of so called "inclusionists" who seem more intent on deleting/merging material than saving it... A much more important question is:

TreadingWater (talk) 15:47, 14 March 2009 (UTC) Faux Painting editI really RESENT you editing out links to photos of my marbling work on the Faux Painting page. That was no more spamming than the FAUX LIKE A PRO entries, and the work is of extreme quality. I';m not after clients but felt it was reasonable to show a variety of high quality marbling. I remember bacl 25 years ago, when decorative painters were a community. How petty and small-minded of you.

Anyway, I thought I'd just pop in and say hello as I saw her bio in your sandbox when I Googled.

Talkback You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. SchuminWeb (Talk) 13:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC) Crack City discussionHi -- You raise an interesting question about the list of places, in addition to Washington Heights, that were denigrated with the epithet "crack city" in the 1990s. The reason I added the list was to point out that Washington Heights wasn't the only spot in Manhattan that had been given that name. I expanded the list so that readers can learn that plenty of other places -- Long Island, New Jersey, California, even England -- had crack problems too. Here's another example. If someone posted that the 1 train is terrible because it's crowded at rush hour and on weekends and you can't understand the announcements half the time, it wouldn't be wrong, but it would be a selective fact because *all* subway trains are crowded at rush hour and many of them have poor p.a. systems. Fleshing out the facts makes it clear to those who don't ride NYC subways that the problem is widespread -- not limited to any one train line. And it keeps you from incorrectly thinking that the 1 train is worse than others in this regard. Likewise, saying that Washington Heights was Crack City in the 1990s is true, but so were many other places. To limit the readers' information is unfair not only to the readers (they should be able to see all relevant facts), but also to the subject of the article (Washington Heights, in this case). Adding information, not reducing it, makes WP valuable. The crime wave of the 1990s was a national phenomenon; it wasn't limited to one neighborhood in Upper Manhattan. Why prevent readers from finding out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nbaz34 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC) GenJones "consortium"Apologies for the delay in responding. I don't think there is a Gen Jones consortium. I think that there's one guy using sock puppets trying to use Wikipedia to pursue his own personal interests. Regardless, my experience with him/them was nothing short of harassment. Sock puppeting of GenJones does does not appear to be limited to Wikipedia; to pull just one of a number of links, here's a guy on HuffingtonPost who never posts anything unless it's related to GenJones: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/users/profile/JamesRandolph?action=comments Therefore, I'm opposed to any mention of Gen Jones in any of the post-WWII generational pages that gives credibility to this as an academic term. I would go so far as to only keep a GenJones page if it includes an analysis of whether sock puppets have been used historically, as well as discussion about the relative lack of use of the GenJones term in the 2008 Presidential election, where one would have expected it to be used frequently if the concept had standing in the wider community.

ReplyI reply to you here because I am finding it difficult to place comments on the conversion therapy talk page. Your comments regarding criticism of ex-gay treatment are not very clear. Could you please explain exactly what you meant by saying that "The problem with the criticism that was being used focused on the impropriety of a small group"? The fact that "Examples of impropriety are universal" is irrelevant. If there is a risk of sexual exploitation or abuse in other kinds of therapy, then articles about those kinds of therapy should have information to that effect. There is no justification for removing these facts from the conversion therapy article - however inconvenient and embarrassing some may find them. With regard to your comment, "It is appropriate to explain that supporters of ex-gay ministry usually do not define there mission as "conversion therapy" from homosexual to heterosexual", I reply that the article is concerned with ex-gay ministry only as form of conversion therapy.

This gives all the needed parameters to stay compliant (as long as the given rational is seen as justified). Sometimes looking at similar images types can help determine what wording is appropriate.

Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:10, 4 January 2013 (UTC) Eskimo Pie questionI notice that you did a couple of revisions on the Eskimo Pie article. I'm wondering about something, and I'm not sure how to raise the issue. The article states, "In 1921, he filed for a patent, and secured an agreement with local chocolate producer Russell C. Stover to mass-produce them under the new trademarked name "Eskimo Pie" (a name suggested by Mrs. Stover." I question whether or not the name was suggested by Mrs. Stover. My curiosity was aroused because the reason I looked up the article was to decide whether or not to trash a 40-year old handout about the origin of the name that a local ice cream company (a wholesaler) used to give away to retailers who sold the product. (No, there is no attribution in the handout.) That article states, "After several months of selling the product in the Iowa area, they decided the ice cream bar should have a more appealing name. One evening after dining with some friends, Mr. Nelson and his partner took the dictionary from the shelf and began to list all the words that were applicable to "cold". Some of the listings were frigid, frozen, chilly, zero, eskimo[sic], igloo, and snowman. After much deliberation everyone felt the word "ESKIMO" was the most appropriate and defined coldness." There do exist numerous references to the name being suggested by Russell Stover's wife, Clara, but there is a 1922 book available free via Google ebooks, which is an interview with the advertising manager of Russell Stover, J.E. Finneran, at http://books.google.com/books?id=s0UjAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA3-PA12&lpg=RA3-PA12&dq=name+eskimo+pie+nelson+and+friends&source=bl&ots=D28cLSWoXX&sig=x94GAD4G-gCaX3ri5vxoThjUqVU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cU_-UKnwKMTC2QW9zoGQCg&ved=0CDkQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=name%20eskimo%20pie%20nelson%20and%20friends&f=false, and he makes no mention of Mrs. Stover: "The name "Eskimo Pie" was coined by Mr. Stover himself, but before he settled upon this name as final, he had five hundred or more names submitted by friends and various interested parties, that he might consider them." I find it unlikely that the sales manager of Stover's company would fail to mention that Mrs. Stover had originated the name if she had done so. The article at http://amhistory.si.edu/archives/d8553.htm states only, "It was decided the name would change from Nelson's "I-Scream Bar" to "Eskimo Pie"" [in 1921]. That exact sentence appears in other places as well. Funding Universe, in its history of the Eskimo Pie Corporation, states only, "Stover has been credited with changing the name of the novelty to the now-famous Eskimo Pie." (http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/eskimo-pie-corporation-history/). Do you have any references that would clarify the origin of the name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeorgeButel (talk • contribs) 09:25, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
