User talk:SQGibbon/Archive 4Elizaveta Polonskaya articleHey, thanks! I put a lot of work into it, and it's nice to see someone noticed. And you're absolutely right, the headings do make it easier to read. Much appreciated. Languagehat (talk) 12:33, 16 August 2011 (UTC) Nation of Islam articleWhat do you mean that the change "needs to be integrated more"? The statement in the introduction of the article that says the movement teaches "principles of Islam" is patently false. From fundamental beliefs to all of the various practices, the NOI completely differs from the religion of Islam. Are more references necessary? THere are plenty of articles and even books refuting any claim of NOI to represent true Islam in any sense. Nah22 (talk) 03:18, 19 October 2011 (UTC) New Page Patrol survey

Hi, i would like to ask: Why did you revert all of my edits (this version [1] of the Brooke Logan page?) It's in terrible shape. I was taking the first steps to improvements (starting with the summary). I just need a reason, or i will revert it back to how i did it? All i did was add a Storylines section (splitting it with 1987-2007, 2007-) there is nothing wrong with that. Please tell me the reason why. I did NOTHING wrong to the storyline (i didn't over-detail it with various subheadings) all i did was actually added some content (which should be there) and divided it into two sections. The information i added wasn't only relevant to "fans of the show". It was just a rough recap of her major story lines so far. You say on the character's talk page that the body of text in the storyline/summary should be 500-1,000 words long. My short summary was just of 780 words; However on the page it does state that the summary may be expanded if the character is a long running character (Without silly subheadings and fancruft). I agree with you that these pages are in really bad shape but WHY have you gone and reverted my edits?. You also said that you have no knowledge of these characters or the show so why have you reverted my edits? They weren't vandalism or fancruft. Also, i began a section "Character Creation" or "casting" or something, and i was going to try and find some sources to expand this section to explain the character a little through real-world sources. I am going to re-ad that section. You know, nothing will happen to the article if either: No one makes the first steps, or everyone deletes everyone's edits etc. I would just like to know what was wrong with my edits? What is the point of keeping a small "controversy" section that should usually be merged into a section talking about the character's reception. On this page it says: Articles should include: Character article formatArticles should include:
And, all i did was add the summary section. And harm done? Good faith yes but i don't feel it should have been deleted. God. thankyou; Im going to add more content to this page (yes btw i have read the Soap Project page) and there is no need to delete this page because it is one of the 4 most recognizable Soap Characters in this show (If you didn't know because you say you don't know the show) and it wouldn't have to be deleted if it was good which it could be. Even if there are 5-6 sources that is at least a start right? Please respond to this with some positive information about how i can contribute to the page without it being deleted.

Something is obviously upyou must at least acknowledge that the "editor" of the "list of emoticons" page is deleting content with no good reason. an emoticon is created by a group of creative individuals and then it spreads, it IS internet culture and having a whole section dedicated to "internet culture" requires a comprehensive list of emoticons. you should define what an emoticon is you should define what you want in internet culture (information without a source? thats impossible? the source is the community or millions of people using it as an accepted standard) most importantly.... when an editor deletes large sections of content that many people use daily willy nilly citing "its got no source" is a sign of someone who doesn't understand the internet... he says he found sources for the "other east asain emoticons" ... sounds like he just didnt like the way it looked and tore it down without thought for others. at the very least, revert it, have the guy USE A SANDBOX to make a new article and replace the reversion — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.107.47.138 (talk) 19:35, 29 December 2011 (UTC) Re: My EditsYou seem to be reverting them as I attempt to make the articles in question better in their layout. Your edit summarize that they are "overlinking" but I'm simply adding them because they might be unfamiliar terminology to people who are not as adequate with similar words; since one word can have more than one meaning. In my defense, I am actually following the layout of a Featured Article who follows the same guidelines in their linking.

FC Internazionale MilanoInter has won 30 domestic trophies, including the league eighteen times, the Coppa Italia seven and the Supercoppa Italiana five. From 2006 to 2010 the club won five successive league titles, equalling the all-time record.[4] Inter have won the Champions League three times; two back-to-back in 1964 and 1965 and then another in 2010. Is that correct? Founded on 9 March 1908 in the back room of the L'Orologiaio (the clock) restaurant in Milan, under the impetus of dissident members of the AC Milan, the club has spent its entire history... Is that correct? Thanks.--Dipralb (talk) 23:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC) Thank you!!Thank you for reverting User:DeltaQuad on the Physical attractiveness article. I've told two other editors that Delta reverting my revert of another editor, all because I'm a previously blocked IP proxy, was wrong. But they didn't do anything about it. And just so you know, that same editor who added that material to the Physical attractiveness article also added it repeatedly throughout the Blond article.

CurryThanks very much for your comments. I do have a couple of questions. 1)Opening Summary: While I completely agree that substantive information should have references, I wonder whether it is necessary to duplicate those references in an opening summary when virtually all of the information is substantiated in the following article. Is there a way to indicate "see below"? Is this an acceptable practice? (Just trying to keep things concise ... BTW, I will add references in the current case.) 2)It seems to me that the "Curry" article wanders off course. Most of the subsections on the various regional and national cuisines contain information that is barely tangential to the specific topic. In my opinion, they need to be significantly edited to focus on the topic (Curry); yet, one would like to preserve this information "somewhere." Many of these subsections also appear to have been written from "personal knowledge" and contain few references. Is there some sort of "forum" in which these issues could be discussed? Any other suggestions how to address this issue? 3)Is it necessary to provide Wiki links to every reference to things like "mustard" or "India"? Personally, I find this terrifically distracting when I'm reading articles, and often times, those links have little or nothing to do with the topic in question. I think this is called "overlinking" and am wondering whether there are guidelines .. Thanks very much for your interest.

You said "We generally don't report viewer response like this unless another source reports it first. (TW)", and I was wondering what did you mean by 'unless another source reports it first'? As it's only available in iTunes there isn't actually a newspaper anywhere that would be interested in doing a report on what they think of the recently episode as its on iTunes. But I was just wondering what you meant by 'reports it first'. And I know the (TW) means Twinkle or something, I've looked on that before but I don't know exactly what it means, what does Twinkle actually mean? ThanksCharlr6 (talk) 00:34, 12 March 2012 (UTC) Ah, yes. I see. I do know about the original research part and I did look to see if there was an article about it, I found the link on the iTunes UK website and I thought that it would be acceptable, as the people on iTunes (the viewers) have put their own reviews on and I thought that as on the website it contains these reviews and then an automated average out of five stars then the UK viewer response would talk for itself. Does that make sense? Haha. But basically I thought that the reviews would speak for itself. And I partly knew that there wouldn't be an actual article or British newspaper talking about this. This is because of it not being on TV in the UK, I didn't think a newspaper would be interested in compiling reviews up for something that is just released to iTunes. Hope that makes sense. I'll try and keep on looking to see if there could be an article somewhere. But I asked about the Twinkle tool as I have been seeing it frequently lately on edit pages and I looked it up but still didn't know what it means. I think I've got my head around it now.

Writing an articleUser:Ticklewickleukulele/Lizzie Velásquez Lizzie Velasquez is a 23 year old female college student who has a very rare disorder in which she is 60 pounds. She has been cyberbullied and stared at in public. She has been in the news a lot of times, and has recently published a book. I sourced the article to news sources and her website. Is this a worthy topic for Wikipedia? Also, I need someone to proofread the article, because the prose may not be the best, and some stuff might be taken to be non-neutral. P.S.

I think you will find a distinction is generally made in the English language between two and several; in fact, the definition of several is, "more than two", so I kindly request you desist from such esagerration :) In addition to this, I had received my first warning, no problem, all good, then I slipped up again, was warned about it, and then exactly 5 minutes later you come in with the big stop sign - what kind of time is this to rectify one's mistake? Anyway, I again reiterate my thanks for your warning, hopefully I can be more vigilant in my editing :) I also hope my warning about your exagerrative language might also be heeded, as well as giving perhaps more than five minuted before the big red stop sign is dropped

Monadnock Defensive TacticsI wrote an edit to the Monadnock Life Products page, revealing that there are certifications required for officially wielding or teaching the Monadnock Products, such as the PR-24 and expandable batons. Since I hold advanced teaching certifications in this particular subject as a Lafourche Parish/ Louisiana defensive tactics instructor, I am well-qualified to make such an edit. So, what exactly do we have to do to make an edit here? This is not exactly a well-written topic, although it is very easy to find hundreds of MDTS instructors and instructor training programs through online searches. Finding the organizations that certify in those programs, since they are affiliated with police training and are less commerically-oriented than some of their qualified instructors is not so easy. So, what does it take? Do I have to post a copy of my state & organizational certs or something? That would just seem egotistical to me, not really informative at all.

Sex Dolls is Bias because it is outdated as to evolution of the product.Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_doll It is my opinion and that of many high end love doll owners that the terms sex doll and love doll have evolved to mean two different product. In an attempt to show that love dolls are no longer just sex, I attempted to provide a link to what is considered as the definitive source of information on Love Dolls and have been thwarted on all attempts. dollforum.com founded in 2001 has grown to over 37,000 members and is approaching approximately one million visitors per year. It is a forum founded and run by love doll owners and admirers. Considerable hostility has resulted within our community towards media who persist in using the term sexdoll over love doll, even when substituting said term in quoted interviews. They sensationalize and push the sexual side, completely ignoring changes in both demographic and usage of love dolls (particularly high end), that have occurred over the last 10 years. Based on polls on our website 33% of love doll owners are either married or in a relationship and only 48% of purchasers buy them with sex being the primary reason. I have been making an effort over the past 5 years to show these more mainstream applications. The following poll shows this trend to other uses: What is your primary purpose for owning/wanting a love doll? sex and or sexual stimulation leading to and including copulation 48% 48% [107] photography 7% 7% [15] cuddling / kissing / hanging out buddy without leading to sex/masturbation 6% 6% [13] artificial companion (I prefer my doll over an interactive human relationship) 11% 11% [25] surrogate partner (helping to fill the void until ms/mr right comes along) 16% 16% [35] fantasy play 5% 5% [12] enhancement/supplement/compensation within existing human relationship 5% 5% [12] Total votes : 222 Society frowns on labeling women as sex objects yet when it comes to an anatomically correct representation of a woman society cannot see beyond the sexual aspect of the doll. If an encyclopedia is to be complete, it should not be suppressing links or information that expands the topic and gives readers access to 'experts' in the field. DollForum.com is a forum of men and woman, married and single, divorced and widowed many of who own one or multiple dolls. Therefore, the forum in itself after 11 years running, should be considered as a whole, an expert within the field. Who better knows about love dolls than those who use them. DollForum.com is a non-profit free membership forum and has the largest knowledge base on love dolls, in the world. Visitor seek it out to help make informed purchases by reading articles by other owners. Not only does it involve in depth discussions on sex, but emotional attachment, photography, sales scams, and many other topics. I read the Salon.com and nerve.com articles and have to scratch my head when I post a poll link showing user applications that it gets removed. The Salon.com article is creating bias because it centers around one minority individual that forms perhaps 7% of the total love doll user demographic but does not state or reflect this fact. "...you come to understand that behind every Real Doll is a man with a reason. " Yet there are now many woman and couples with dolls. T The other article is also weighted and more satire than fact... "I've been thinking about it, and I could only come up with one economically viable non-sex use: being able to ride in the carpool lane." How about photography, which has become increasingly popular over the last 5 years. My own doll, Bianca, was front and center in the movie Lars and the Real Girl and only last year traveled to London, UK for a photo shoot that was included in a London high fashion magazine. If Wikipedia is going to suppress our attempts at showing how love dolls have evolved into more than just sex toys, is it really anymore credible than the sensationalist media? Perhaps you can help me out here and tell my why a factual poll on love doll usages by owners does not warrant inclusion in the Love Doll wiki article while the above two articles, by opinionated journalists do? Also, why would Wikipedia not want to include a link or further reading link to the largest source of reliable information on love dolls in the world ? Sincerely, Dave Hockey aka midiman & knightshot And BTW... This link: "Real Dolls: Love in the Age of Silicone" - original, more detailed version of the Salon article No longer works...

I thank you for your reply. I do understand how every man and his dog involved in the love doll industry might want to get their website linked to an Wiki article on love dolls. Two things come to mind. You mentioned the rules prohibit links to social networking sites such as FaceBook or Myspace, however, these sites are generic and not dedicated to any specific topic whereas The DollForum (which has been running years longer than both the two mentioned sites), is more of an information resource on love dolls than it is a social networking site. It is dedicated to the specific subject of love dolls. Furthermore the article "I Did it for Science" is in fact posted on a Social Networking site...actually a Dating site. Look at the page it appears on. On that same page in the header is Meet Someone and a button to click to join their dating network...a commercial enterprise. Furthermore is a big block and link to their FaceBook section. So it seems the linking of their article here at Wikipedia more fits Wikipedia's definition of a Social networking site or promoting a website than does CoverDoll which is strictly an ezine. You stated that Wikipedia does not want to be a forum for promoting the topics of discussion yet you are suppressing information that will steer people to a place that does perform that function and expands the overall knowledge base of the subject. What is the philosophical difference between providing links to third party articles and books but not allowing links to the raw unedited voice of the people who provided the information from which those other linked articles were composed? Secondly, using your interpretation of the rules I am going to attempt one final post before throwing in the towel on Wikipedia. I think I now have a grasp of what constitutes a valid link and what does not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knightshot (talk • contribs) 23:03, 8 November 2012 (UTC) nanban film article persistent vandalism by user:kollyfanplease revert it to a proper clean version the article is persistently vandalised by user:kollyfan thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.174.9.153 (talk) 08:59, 11 November 2012 (UTC) SockpuppetsUser:Oirpacid.01 and User:Nawaz Khan99 are sockpuppets.

The people who made this product suffered hardships that you have no concept of. The description used was humble in comparison to what these people contributed to their community. PUT IT BACK.SallyCato 15:56, 1 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sallycato (talk • contribs) Smashed GladysFine. Whatever. I think as I mentioned your time is better served elsewhere. There was nothing puffery about what was there. This group created and fostered the entire NYC glam metal scene, from instigating articles that talked about all the up coming bands to seeking out other new bands for the soul purpose of making sure they got to play at the Cat Club,- (the premiere NYC glam metal club) so that these other groups would have the chance to showcase for record companies. Smashed Gladys were known for the sound and their stage shows. That is how we got a 2.5 million dollar deal with Warner Electra. It is also how we helped Circus of Power, The Cycle Sluts and numerous others to have a place where they could be seen. Tommy Gunn and Smashed Gladys did the marketing for the Cat Club which went on to be a showcase for Album parties as well- Joan Jett, David Bowie, etc etc had major album release parties there because of the seen we created. On any given night at a Smashed Gladys show you might see Iggy Pop, members of The New York Dolls, Guns and Roses, Blackie Lawless or Motley Crüe in the audience. As a matter of fact Tommy Lee and Nicki Six were at our signing show. This is just the tip of a very important cultural iceberg. One that I am only just now having the time to dedicate again to. I spent 20 years as the co-writer, lead singer and band leader for this group. And as a woman, I helped kick down the doors so that the industry would start to take famale artists more seriously. AND we did this while we were virtually starving to death. I myself was lucky, as a designer to move into a more financially stable life later on. I am now a media designer. But I was lucky. So many of the artists that were part of this scene are destitute. Smashed Gladys represented hope to a great deal of people, and today, they represent a time of joy to millions. Don't take that away from these people. If you google Smashed Gladys you will see about 250,000 results. AND that is spontaneous. I have only in the last few weeks begun to put up official information. I had begun several sites, but until now have not been able to ad content. Culture is all an artist has. Remember- we did all this b4 there were computers. Yes- before each gig we had to design large poster and have them printed, then take the equipment truck and put them up with wall paper paste, then we had to all sit there preparing and mailing the huge invitation list, then we had to rehearse every day and then we got to play for exactly one hour. Oh- and did I mention one of the members was suffering from a life threatening illness at the same time. NOT and STD either. They did survive I am proud to say. This was the hardest project I have ever been involved with and one that has absolutely no regrets- accept maybe the way wiki shows total disrespect. Yes the audience saw us as "living the big life" That illusion cost us every penny we ever earned. But you know what, it was worth it. That was our gift to the other artist and to the audience- we let people feel like they were part of that "Big Life". Probably our lack of elitism was our ultimate downfalls. If we had been jerks we would have probably been around longer. Did I mention we have never gotten a penny from record sales either? 70,000 units of the second album were sold in less than 3 months- without any advertising- And now our music, including stolen demo tapes is for sale every day all over the internet. Are we alone. Of course not. But I despise injustice, and if my savvy helps other musicians and artists who have suffered similar insults then it is worth it to push for change. The leased wiki can do is have a way for a person or group to be "wiki-cerified" Meaning that you can apply for a certificate sanctioned by wikipedia that will allow them to submit certain credentials that allow them to protect the content of what is said on your sites. Hey I will help get that code written. Just ask. As least you know the truth. If you take your job seriously you will make sure your "higher ups" see this and do something about it. Price is not an issue- I just volunteered to help.

I added people on the Walking Dead page like Melissa McBride, Scott Wilson, etc, because some of the actors I listed are actually in more episodes than others like Sarah Wayne Callies and Jon Bernthal (yes, they died, so 'not their fault' but ya know what I mean lol). But on Talking Dead the show after Walking Dead the producers said they use the opening credits and then the "also starring..." after the episode begins as a device to keep us guessing as an audience and they cited the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode when Tara (Amber Benson) was finally in the opening credit sequence, and that very episode they killed her off. Anyway, some I added may indeed be questionable, but I would think most people would consider Melissa McBride, Scott Wilson, IronE Singleton to be main characters. Anyway: I'm just a huge fan of the show and almost an addict, but you are the "gatekeeper" and may have more information than me. i was just trying to add to the page and apologies if you didn't like it.

Tag (game) Unsourced VariantsYou removed the "Line tag" section, but not the "Fox and geese" section, which was under "Line tag."

Reverted edits to "Opening Act"Hi there! I haven't really evaluated your work, but it looks like you keep busy and contribute a lot. I tend to take an optimistic view: If you edit a lot, you're probably a good editor. So, that's great! On 20:48, 3 August 2010, you reverted two edits to Opening act by Diving2010 on the grounds that they were "original research.". I came here specifically to say that, really, with the slightest of alterations, the contributor's work could be made into a rather indisputable and perfectly-obvious statement, requiring no citation. Honestly, I thought it was pretty much indisputable as it was, but I realize this is Wikipedia, and sometimes you have to re-word a statement into the-sky-is-blue territory to skate away without a citation. So, after a few other edits I see the article needs more (it has an unfortunate tendency to be overly specific in some ways), I'm going to re-work his contribution back into the article, in more appropriate language. I felt I should tell you. The article is one of the rare cases in which I'm inclined to ask, "Is this article even needed?" So I hope we aren't about to be in conflict with each other, because I can only care so much about it! Best wishes to you. --Ben Culture (talk) 14:59, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

On an unrelated note (unless this is what you meant), David Foster Wallace taught at my college, so I do wonder what style he graded his students on (and what style he was published in)! When I took my freshman seminar at Pomona College (a class he would have taught as a Roy E.

Unfortunately, these murderers are not only free but are allowed to live anywhere in Israel,Gaza, and the West Bank. As stated in the NYT “These people will be neighbors of the families of the victims they murdered.” Israel has been constantly asking for the release of Pollard.

As for 'Honey' (Bobby Goldsboro song), when you say 'account of someone dying', does this mean someone thinking a story of someone dying? I know said category is for people who have actually died, not for people who others think of dying.

Gsfelipe94 (talk) 19:07, 21 January 2014 (UTC) Category:Songs in memory of deceased personsIt does make sense that this category doesn't apply to songs that are about people who have just left their lover for someone else, as the person obviously hasn't died (I know this is why you didn't appreciate me adding this category to 'Bye Bye Love'). I now know what you mean by 'account', regarding the song 'Honey'; again, this category doesn't apply to songs that people sing when thinking about someone dying, since the person hasn't actually died. As for 'Everything I Own', you might have seen that excruciatingly distressing commercial - 'Share the Road to Zero', where it's sung in a monotonous sort of way, as such a song makes sense for commercials about loved ones dying (it even says that 'David Gates sung it as a tribute to his late father'). This is why I added that category to that song. I know songs like 'I'll Be Missing You' definitely belong to this category, as everyone knows that this song was in memory of a deceased person, namely 'The Notorious B.I.G.', who was murdered on Sunday 9 March 1997. I do know a song I could add to this category, but I know I can't if only I think it's of this category, and no one else does.Ofcdeadbeat (talk) 11:30, 23 January 2014 (UTC)Ofcdeadbeat Old Fashionedits not letting me post links but if I could email you I could show you my books on amazon and my paid articles and my podcast etc.... you are making things difficult for me to progress my career, but I am not doing that for you, what have I done to you? whats your deal? be real, what did I do to you for you to discredit and disrespect me so greatly?

Educational GameThanks so much for your work on Wikipedia and for your attention to this entry. Just wanted to let you know that the edit was reverted because this was done in a Wikipedia Education Program class project [Technology & Pedagogy graduate school class] by a graduate student Cshanesimpson (taught by Theredproject) working in this academic area. Your comment about the need for summaries rather than primary sources is a good point, but in this case (and since we couldn't immediately identify any suitable source to fit this), for now, I think it would be best if the references to current research studies remain. These are really useful to people investigating this subject so it would be helpful to have this available. Later on we can change this.

When I returned to the article a couple of hours later to correct a grammar mistake and noticed my edit was gone, I thought that I must not have posted correctly the first time, and so I posted again. However, I do feel that all of the information which I added was relevant. There was only one reference, but that reference was a textbook, which contains ideas and information from numerous sources. There is hardly any information on that page as it is, and I feel as though the forms of pressure might require a more in-depth explanation for some people to understand them. - spayne0870 (talk) 14:03, 26 March 2014 Missing white woman syndromeThere have been some edits and reverts to Missing white woman syndrome that you have been involved in.

It should be mentioned in the article somewhere. Possible making in the article with both origins. The OED does say it came from 1909 but History Channel and other sources have found letters using it going all the way back to 1737. The History Channel does nothing but find information like this for the documentaries so I do have some faith in them. The OED does as well but they might not have found these writings when they put it in the dictionary. Generally a contraction replaces one letter so thinking that Y'All is shorthand for You All doesn't make any sense. The middle English word Ye means you so it makes far more sense it came from Ye All instead of You All. It is okay to put both meanings in there instead because when one does a Google search the top articles are staying it came from Ye All and then there is Wikipedia that says other wise followed by user forums. --96.32.46.89 (talk) 20:57, 15 April 2014 (UTC)Travis Smith My edit of the Color Me Badd page...To be honest, I had forgotten all about that.

I think that's in line with the MOS, which indicates that ":Context (location, nationality, or ethnicity)" should be reflected, and that "Ethnicity ... should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability."

I see that you've deleted posts from the Negroni family (with whom I've spoken) about their alternative theory of the origins of the drink. Can you tell me why you've done so? Also, how confident are you when it comes to the Count Camillo origin? Thanks, MrkHay302 MrkHay302 (talk) 17:33, 29 May 2014 (UTC) Thanks so much for your response, SQ. Memo for SQGibbon and Denisarona Subject: Negroni Cocktail First of all I want to apologize for my fellow wikipedians for providing edits to the Negroni Cocktail Page that you object to. It was not my intent to provide "disruptive editing" nor to trample on the Wikipedia norms. I fully understand that the reason why I received warnings, is because I repeatedly added material, despite the objections of others. I know that Wikipedia is a collaborative enterprise, meaning that when we have disputes, we should not simply edit back and forth. I am reaching out to you to see if we can resolve this dispute. I know that Wikipedia does not know the credentials of authors, and in fact does not pay much attention to them. This is because Wikipedia relies on citations to reliable, third party sources like scientific journals, newspapers or blogs with editorial structures, books, and so on. The reason the material is being removed is because you are adding it without reference to secondary source material. With that in mind, I would like to plead my case before my fellow wikipedians. I have great reservations regarding the person known as Count Camillo Negroni for several reasons: 1. In our family genealogical records going back to the 11th century, there no one by the name of Count Camillo (Sources: Authier, Michel et Alain Galbrun, Etat de la Noblesse Francaise Subsistance, 1940-1993, pp. 153-160; Cere, Luigi Arturo, Storia dell'illustra famiglia genovese dei Negroni, Genes, 1927; Negroni, Francois Marquis de, de Negroni de San Colombano Family Archives: Negroni, Roch Pascal Marie Cyr Marquis de, Histoire de l'Ancienne Seigneurie de San Colombano ou Capo Corso et de Capraia, Imp. Lavalloise, Laval (Mayenne), 1896, 311 pages: Pazzis, Henry de Seguins Pazzis d'Aubignam Marquis de, Genealogie de la Famille Negroni et ses Alliances, 1980, 315 page manuscript prepared as one of the requirements to become a Knight of Malta; Negroni, Hector Andres, 1938- The Negroni family : genealogical, demographic, and nobiliary study from its 11th century origins to its 20th century branches in Italy, France, and Puerto Rico Madison, AL : H.A. Negroni, [1998], 149 pages : ill., maps ; 28 cm, Library of Congress Control Number: 98119631 2. The paper back book by Luca Picchi, Sulle tracce del conte. La vera storia del cocktail «Negroni» is nothing more than a marketing pamphlet to promote visits to Mr. Picchi's bar in Florence. 3. Despite numerous requests, Mr. Picchi has nor provided our family with birth, death or genealogical information on "Count Camillo Negroni." As a result, we can only conclude that "Count Camillo is a result of Mr Picchi's fertile imagination. On the other hand, to support our thesis, we can provide ample genealogical information on General Pascal Olivier Comte de Negroni. He was real person with real accomplishments. Tell me what you need and I will provide the information for your examination and evaluation. Additionally, there was a newspaper reference to Pascal's invention of the Negroni cocktail (Source: “Corse Matin Sunday Edition," 2 February 1980). As an amicable resolution to this issue I recommend that we place both theories being equal in value and let the readers make up their mind. I can also provide you with my CV if you desire. Respectfully, Colonel (USAF-Retired) Hector Andres Negroni — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanegroni (talk • contribs) 16:11, 31 May 2014 (UTC) from john graham, is this how I correspond with you?Thanks so much for your patience with me. I did not know about "talk pages" -- I thought I just had the few key strokes to explain myself and the entry. The new strategy (or theory) of negotiation, INVENTIVE NEGOTIATION, is ours and is based on the integration of the ideas we cite in the entry -- Raiffa, etc. and Silicon Valley, Japan, etc., and 30 years of academic study of the phenomenon. I also guess you could say we borrowed it from the Japanese. The thinking is detailed in our new book, Inventive Negotiation. I would assume that WIKI readers would be interested in new fundamental views about a phenomenon, but I would not expect them to know about it until they have read the new book. As to the "undue weight criticism" -- I think I put it in the right place. Perhaps there is a better place for it on the page? New ideas, or something? As the "undue length" -- I feel it needs the added explanation and citations because it is new, and the sources deserve credit. As to the conflict of interest criticism, I can understand why one might conclude that my self interest/promotion motivates the entry. However, what is important here is the idea itself, not the authors. Father Gregory Boyle at Homeboy Industries, for one, would testify that this third approach saves lives. The problem with both distributive bargaining and integrative bargaining is that they do not work very well. Indeed, most people around the world focus on relationships, not transactions. The literature on negotiation in the US suffers dramatically from a dangerous, even fatal, ethnocentrism. We detail this argument in the book. But it is based on 30 years of studying how others around the world negotiate. Now may I ask for your help here. How should I introduce a new (disruptive) idea to a Wikipedia audience? We are trying to save lives and global resources here. Please help! Thanks, John Graham — Preceding unsigned comment added by John L. Graham (talk • contribs) 00:17, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand your removal of either Removed image "Sandy" points out rust on a car for an ebay advert and achieves notoriety in the press and on internet with speculation as to whether she is a sex doll or not . . .]] or the photograph of "Sandy on her day off" either of which are current examples of the subjectmatter. Dollist (talk) 21:25, 13 June 2014 (UTC) You will see from http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=143&t=54281 that the story is quite unique in its reach in the history of sex dolls and their use by photographers as posable mannequins. The ebay page received 40000 visits during the week and the story being published by major newspapers, The Daily Mail, The Mirror and The Metro in the UK and London, the image and story was seen by not merely hundreds of thousands but millions of people. It has been syndicated throughout VolksWagen dealerships also. The image of "high quality sex doll" at the top of this page is a disgusting and revolting example bringing "sex dolls" into disrepute, and whilst it might have been a fair example a few years ago, it is far outdated now, as the photos of "Sandy" picked up by the newspapers and internet sites demonstrate. Dollist (talk) 13:36, 14 June 2014 (UTC) Thanks for your helpful and guiding comments which are noted. Very much a matter both of enthusiasm combined with, and therein the danger, knowledge garnered from the forums and personal experience of such over many years - but in that is experience which can assist in guiding the subject helpfully within appropriate standards of citations and neutrality. The files https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sandydayoff.jpg and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sandyrust.jpg are now restored and in the public domain and I submit are useful (a) as a current example of a "high end" doll rather than a former generation, or as a contrast showing the development from only a few years ago, and (b) in their capacity to be used for modelling art and photography rather than as purely sex function objects. Having provided these into the public domain, perhaps can I leave it to you to consider how best they might be used most usefully within the subject? Possibly a caption such as . . .

Dollist (talk) 17:30, 22 June 2014 (UTC) Hi! Different languages of the Sex Doll page accessible through Google Translate vary from straightforward stubs such as https://tl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manikang_pantalik to direct translations of the page to pages with expanded sections - such as Sex Dolls in the media for instance including pop groups and in particular the Japanese film Air Doll in 2009 (from memory French and German versions) to the Czech page which is arguably imposing judgment on users of sex dolls and justifications with "Advantages" and "Disadvantages" and focusing only on Inflatable dolls without mention of Silicone dolls https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nafukovac%C3%AD_panna . The page https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%BAp_b%C3%AA_t%C3%ACnh_d%E1%BB%A5c features a photo with a doll tied up, mixing a BDSM connotation with sex dolls which is not universal. Personally I find the doll example on many pages Removed image rather gross - and for that reason potentially prejudicial within the subject - but without consensus this is a subjective opinion. I do note however that the example photograph is of a 2006 model and Sandy Removed image demonstrates significant advancement of the genre over the intervening years.

This is a genuine Pashtun tribe, but on which the writings were written mostly from Persian translations during the British colonial era, like many of the Pashtun and other tribes through out the world. It is not my fault that there are not current people studying this tribe or writing about it. But what earlier people have written about it should be allowed to stay. Where am I making the mistake? There are many tribes in the Afghan-Indo Continent metioned on Wikipedia that were written only during the British Colonial encounter - why are they allowed to stay and not this one.

Vandalism
America's TeamHi there SQGibbon. I'm RyAce77. I've been adding the additional remarks to the article "Americas Team." Even though the term America's team was coined for and is oft applied to the Dallas Cowboys, the term is not definitive. In other words it is often argued, especially by those of a non-Dallas fanbase, that they are not always considered "America's Team." This idea and controversy needs to be highlighted in the article. By leaving out these noted challenges to this term, you are leaving the article with a one-sided bias not allowing others to see that the Cowboys are not solely considered Americas team and not always thought of as such. I think it is good to show the history of the term and also that the Cowboys do hold that nickname but I also think it is worthwhile to show how the term has evolved and what people currently think about it of which information I applied with linked references.

Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Sorry to raise this after 1 year. You quite rightly asked why awarding Dr A.E. McGuinness the Military Cross was worth a mention. McGuinness was one of the vary few totally unarmed men in WW2 to be decorated. McGuinness worked in casualty clearing stations during the battles along the Kokoda Track in New Guinea. These battles took place in the most impenetrable and infested jungles on earth. Twice, at Saputa and Eora Creek, his makeshift triage and emergency aide posts were in immediate danger of being over run by the Japanese, both times the stations were ordered to be evacuated, leaving behind anyone who could not walk or be easily carried. Those left behind would have been slaughtered. Both times McGuinness refused to abandon his care and continued to work until the enemy was repulsed. His citation mentions both stations. The effect on morale of this brave, unarmed and (to quote the citation) unselfish doctor was a huge boost to those fighting. He was not eligible for the V.C. which is only given for a single act of bravery in the face of the enemy, above and beyond the call of duty. The M.C. Was the highest award for his behaviour, and most unusual for an unarmed man. I feel that the citation should be re-instated. Cheers Historygypsy (talk) 00:02, 4 September 2015 (UTC) Higher Life Theology pageDear SQGibbon, I appreciate your desire to avoid Wikipedia getting spam material, which you expressed in your removal of my recent edit of the Wikipedia article on Higher Life theology, and which you stated again when another user, Didaskalos7, restored what you removed because that user believed it was solid material. While your desire is highly commendable, I would like to suggest that in this case it is unequivocally mistaken. First, I would like to point out that, in addition to teaching seminary classes, I have spent countless hours studying this movement, and the relevant Scripture texts on sanctification, and thus am well aware of the relevant primary and secondary literature, having possibly examined c. 100,000 pages of it. I trust that you are similarly well informed and that is why you are involved in editing the article. Of course, we would do well to edit only in our areas of expertise. Please note that the top of the page states: "This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed." I added key literature with extensive citations to primary and secondary sources. For example, in the sentence: "In the 1870s William Boardman, author of The Higher Christian Life began his own evangelistic campaign in England, bringing with him Robert Pearsall Smith and his wife, Hannah Whitall Smith, to help spread the holiness message." I added citations from a scholarly and definitive doctoral dissertation on the Higher Life movement that dealt with, in about 100 pages each or so, with Boardman and Hannah and Robert Smith. The article also made reference to the Broadlands Convention, and I provided a scholarly source that has many pages of material on that convention. I find it incomprehensible that this material was removed. In the critique section, I added two of the most central critiques of the Higher Life movement, and posted links to the web pages where those were available online. I also added the Higher Life responses to those critiques because I want the article to be balanced. I am very surprised that these were removed. I added material and references by Reformed, Baptist, Pentecostal, and Anglican scholars. As someone who, I trust, has studied this field of theology, you know very well that the works I cited were some of the standard ones anyone who wishes to get into an examination of this historical movement must read. This is why I find it very difficult to understand why you would remove these references and improvements to the article and revert it to its far worse and far more incomplete state. I believe that you were concerned that some of the sources were from a single website. If you find Warfield's Studies in Perfectionism online for free on some other website, by all means link to that one instead if the material is equally well laid out and equally readable. I found it very well laid out and readable on the site I linked to, and many people all over the world have found that site to contain excellent scholarship (as do, of course, many other websites.) If you find the doctoral dissertation by Ross somewhere else on the web, by all means link to that other website instead. I believe that anyone in this field would know very well that the sources provided are essential reading, which is why I confess I find it very strange to have everything added here deleted and the article returned to a worse state simply because I pulled doctoral material and theological journal material from a website that happened to have all of it on there. You stated that you were not sure if the sources were reliable. There are thousands of references in the Ross dissertation, and many by Warfield, etc. also. If you can find a single one that is significantly out of context, then perhaps we should indeed be concerned about reliability. If you did not check the sources for the quotations--and usually doctoral students tend to be careful not to misquote people as their doctoral committees tend not to look well on such things--I am very surprised that you would state that the reliability of these sources is questionable. What were the sources you found misquoted? What percentage of the material was misquoted? What other scholars have complained about these sources misquoting? Again, while I have no idea who you are, I would want to assume that you are editing this article because you are a scholar in this field. Whether or not you personally believe in Higher Life theology, let's work together to make this a better article rather than deleting useful scholarly information and leaving the work impoverished. If you think there are too many citations from one perspective, by all means please add scholarly ones from another point of view. Let's not just delete what clearly improves the article. Again, I appreciate the fact that you don't want Wikipedia spammed. I cannot imagine any scholar I know on this topic thinking that these additions were spam.

Murry1975 (talk) 16:53, 20 February 2016 (UTC) March 2016I am going to give you the same warning as you are also edit warring! 71.166.33.65 (talk) 02:55, 30 March 2016 (UTC) March 2016 Your recent editing history at Defecation 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. 71.166.33.65 (talk) 02:57, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
