Your odd reversionYou wrote "(Undid good faith revision by Desertphile. You need site reliable sources not self-published websites and youtube.)" Valid references are valid references no matter who supplies them, regardeless of where the sited material resides. If you have any valid objection to the references I supply, make them known to me and we can discuss it: do not engage in "edit wars" nor vandalism, unless you have damn good reason. --Desertphile (talk) 00:53, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Updates to LindaneDear Yiloslime, Your reversion of this page to a less accurate, more biased entry runs counter to the guiding principles of Wikipedia editing and does not serve the benefit of the reader. First, the majority of edits made on 20 November, 2009, were to correct objectively inaccurate statements and to provide overall balance to the article—ie, a more neutral point of view. These edits were not only extensively researched but are also fully supported by the authoritative references cited. Please refer to the discussion notes, which provide the rationale for each edit. Further, you cite the length of the article as a reason for your global change; however, the length of the article is in line with those of other chemical entries (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia as two examples) and is not a sound reason for undoing all of the editorial corrections made previously. Indeed, abbreviating the information on a scientific subject as complex as lindane skews this article towards bias and, again, does not serve the reader well. If there are specific sections or statements that you find to be in need of additional editing, please do so in a constructive way, in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines, that allow for the advancement of content quality. I am happy to assist in this regard and am open to constructive dialog on this subject matter so that a consensus can be reached. Please note that I have retained your recommended shortening of the Legal Status in the "ChemBox". Blancer707 (talk) 04:22, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
This article has been renominated for deletion by User:Libstar. Since you took the time to comment in the first discussion, you deserve to be notified of the situation. Regards.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 03:04, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Please be aware that articles related to climate change are particularly sensitive at the moment Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Global warming controversy, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Wikipedia:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages. General commentHello! Here you are probably correct to hat that obviously sidetracked and unconstructive discussion. As for AfDs in general, please note how many times and to how many editors you disagreed with you or the nominator replied to at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Armenia–Portugal relations (2nd nomination) as with many other such discussions on the bilateral articles. That is what I mean by when I see the same accounts that typically say to delete replying to everyone who says to keep as it being hypocritical for any of those counts to the challenge me and especially if any of them replied to me first. Anywway, my current approach to AFDs is if I can get away with simply leaving my initial comment and walking away and/or just focusing on improving the article, then that is what I hope to do. If no one replies to me, then I try to make it a point not to reply to anyone else. I only start replying once people start replying to me. Consider:
The same handful of accounts keep baiting me in these discussions and sometimes I take that bait. So, it gets frustrating when their behavior is excused or ignored. Yes, I will try harder to follow WP:DENY with regards to these accounts and not allow myself to take the WP:BAIT, but others should not be baiting me either and as such I will take more seriously any criticism from accounts who are willing to warn/caution those on the delete line of these discussions that are replying to everyone who argues to keep and frequently in a hostile manner (as cited above with the "arse" and "enemy" comments. Anyway, though, I've had my fill of arguing for today, so have a nice night! Regards, --A NobodyMy talk 22:20, 9 February 2010 (UTC) Rachel CarsonThanks for your input, and not merely insisting on a specific wording. It's not perfect as it stands, but it's better. To the point, many (including many conservatives) like to perpetuate the myth that free-market is the same as conservative, and vice-versa. As much as participants in the US two-party system would like to have people believe all thought is bipolar, it really isn't. More to the point, while conservatives often express support for free markets, they often are not consistent. Their global war on drugs is a perfect example, though certainly not the only one. 206.124.6.222 (talk) 21:03, 20 February 2010 (UTC) Final discussion for Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living peopleHello, I note that you have commented on the first phase of Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people As this RFC closes, there are two proposals being considered:
Your opinion on this is welcome. Okip 03:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC) More weight problemsThanks for helping with the anti-Lambert IP editor. I've seen some weird ones, but suggesting it's OR to know who was the co-author of my own article takes the cake. Also, if you have a moment, could you take a look at Seat belt legislation. Same kind of weight dispute as at Passive smoking and other public health articles.JQ (talk) 20:00, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
MMfA not RS on AFAHi. MMfA is not a RS on AFA. I left all the text in [1] because I am not attempting to remove what may be legitimate criticism. MMfA is not a reliable source for legitimate criticism, so I removed it and added a fact tag. Citations it cites, if any, may be reliable sources, but MMfA itself is not a reliable source except as to things related to MMfA. Among other things, it's kind of like a glorified blog of people well paid to promote one-sided views of political issues. I ask you to reconsider your edit restoring MMfA [2]. It is not appropriate on Wikipedia. Oops, my mistake! I see two different MMfA issues here. One is the above where I added a Fact tag and removed the MMfA cite, and the other is my removal of an entire section that treated MMfA as such a reliable source that it actually made it into the text of article as if it were wikiworthy in a non-MMfA wiki page [3]. In both cases, the removal of the link and the removal of the entire section, my edits to remove MMfA made the wiki page more encyclopedic. I urge you to reconsider your edits regarding MMfA. MMfA has been removed from other pages for not being a reliable source on matters other than MMfA itself, and it should be removed here. I will take this matter to the appropriate authority if I have too. Really, I am being totally wikifriendly with you and just believe that MMfA is not a RS just like it is not a RS on many other pages. So I am asking you to reconsider your edits, in part to save us any trouble from defending our positions in another forum. Further, if you feel the section removal that was mainly about MMfA should still remain in the article with reliable sources instead of MMfA and with removal of any mention of MMfA, I will support that 100%. Thank you for your consideration. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 03:09, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Waiting[4] for you to actually take part in this discussion? mark nutley (talk) 19:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC) Swimming pool sanitationHi Yilloslime, I noticed you had made a small factual correction[5] to the Swimming pool sanitation article recently. If you've looked at the History page, you may have seen that I've done some work on the article. I'm still working on it -- I believe it needs a substantive overhaul, and have been working toward doing so. However, I've also been careful to seek consensus on big changes, because I have a potential conflict of interest in that a client (American Chemistry Council) of my employer could reasonably described as interested. (See my original Talk page disclosure here.) They've helped with research, but all editorial judgments are mine. That all said, I've just completed a revised version of one out-of-control section in my user space.
I've also placed a request for comment on the Swimming pool sanitation Talk page, explaining that it's way TLDR and contains almost no citations. I'm also going to post a notice on the page of another editor, Jayron32, who has been helpful before. Basically, I want to make sure there is consensus before I seek to make the change, and work to attain consensus in case it needs further revision first. Any thoughts? Cheers, NMS Bill (talk) 16:04, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
OxyhydrogenCan you explain why you deleted my edits to oxyhydrogen? I don't understand what's unreliable about my sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superbopper (talk • contribs) 15:05, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
MMfAAs you object to material about Hillary Clinton on the basis of emphasis, please consider proposing at MMfA Talk your own wording to address problems you see in emphasis. I don't assert that the material has to go in its own section or right after the lede. Thanks.--Drrll (talk) 22:56, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Blog articleThanks for reverting yourself, YS, much appreciated. SlimVirgin talk contribs 08:16, 7 May 2010 (UTC) TbHello, Yilloslime. You have new messages at MichaelQSchmidt's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. inre this diffThe reason for my comment was that as currently being rewritten, PORNBIO no longer specifically or remotely addresses Playboy models, as all its current subsets are set to deal only with individuals actually involved in the making of porographic films... IE: the winning of AVN Awards or other such "notable awards" (subjective term), the winning of "well-known" (again, a subjective term) awards in multiple years, making unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre, or being a member in a porn hall of fame such as AVN Hall of Fame or XRCO... again, criteria best applicable only to those actually involved in the making of porn films. The only part left that could even remotely apply to a pictorial model is being multiple times in notable mainstream media... though still intended to adddress circumstances where a porn actor might leave the porn genre and get into a mainstream film production... and my thought that with her not being a porn actress, and with her being in repeated publications from the Playboy empire, she might get in as "multiple times in notable mainstream media". Since the guideline has been rewritten to be inapplibale to cases such as hers, this creates an interesting conundrum. Hence my discussions at the AFD. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:42, 9 May 2010 (UTC) Hi, Yilloslime.

There's an attempt to bring the History of Spider-Man article, which needs enormous work, up to encyclopedic standards. You were among the editors in the deletion discussion, and it'd be good to get your input on, and edits to, the work-in-progress at User:Spidey104/Fictional history of Spider-Man sandbox. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 05:05, 3 June 2010 (UTC) Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. I would thank you not to assume motive on the behalf of other editors, myself included, nor their inability to comprehend sources. There is no strong evidence that Knox was the target rather than simply Nott. Nor is this especially relevant here: if the bombers attacked Nott as he was the better known and more obvious of the two, then if anything that supports his notability in favour of Knox.

You are now a ReviewerHello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010. Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
