Morfydd Llwyn Owen

Hi - just wanted to explain the reason I took the reference to the "Portrait of a Lost Icon" CD out of the list at the bottom of "Discography" and covered it in more detail above. It's because the CD is not a compilation, but the first ever devoted to the works of Morfydd Llwyn Owen exclusively. It also includes a mixture of vocal and instrumental works, not just songs. To me, having it in the list is confusing unless we also change the introductory sentence to something else (which would be a shame as it does fit the description of all the other recordings on the list):

"Owen continues to be a revered figure of Welsh musical tradition, and many of her works have been recorded in compilations of Welsh songs and music. These include:"

@Sfjohna Hi. Restructure and rewording now in place taking account of your comments and useful additions to the article. Almanacer (talk) 14:11, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on the Arthur Horner, but Wikipedia depends on references. If you are unsure how to reference, tell me the book, author, publisher, date, ISBN and the page where the date is mentioned, I'll reference it myself. Cheers' FruitMonkey (talk) 21:36, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. The Welsh Encyclopedia does hold errors, I've found several myself. Look forward to your correct updates. Thanks FruitMonkey (talk) 20:09, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

That makes sense, keep up the good work. FruitMonkey (talk) 00:45, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Bipedalism and the wading hypothesis

Hi,

Regards this edit, the point is not that it's supported with reliable sources. We can get reliable sources that support nearly any point. The issue is that it's undue weight. The aquatic ape hypothesis is a fringe theory in the first place - no serious anthropologist sees it as a contender for explaning bipedalism (or naked skin, nose shape, skeletal changes, etc. for that matter). The wading hypothesis is itself a fringe theory within the aquatic ape hypothesis - a fringe of a fringe. It gets two hits on google scholar - neither of which is a peer-reviewed publication. As wikipedia is meant to be built on secondary sources (which would be review articles and scholarly books summarizing thoughts regarding bipedalism in this case - as a scholarly subject the guidelines and definitions regarding medical articles are more appropriate) rather than cherry-picked primary sources. The point is to demonstrate the appropriate debate within the scholarly field to a degree which represents how the field actually thinks. In the case of bipedalism, there appears to be a tiny, probably negligible (in my opinion I would guess less than ten scholars) who think that wading had any impact on the evolution of bipedalism in human ancestors. AlgisKuliukas is one of the few, and appears intent on promoting his theory on wikipedia (a WP:SOAP problem) in such a way that whether he considers the theory convincing is the determining factor rather than on what the scholarly community thinks.

The only reason the AAH appears on the page at all is because it has considerable popular appeal. The "wading hypothesis" lacks even that, but it does have a vocal proponent attempting to push his theory onto wikipedia, the reason we don't give COI accounts much weight here.

I would prefer to remove the statement again, despite the sources, for presenting an unbalanced impression of debate or credibility when there is none. Please let me know what you think, WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 13:21, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

There's a reply for you on my talk page. Also note that per the talk page guidelines, if you're starting a new section it goes at the bottom of the page - the blue + tab at the top of the page does this automatically, or you can edit the last section and add a new heading.

Allegations of sexual abuse against Ernest Jones

I'm sorry but your latest edit does not accurately reflect the modern balance of opinion about the trial and your ref does not support the text in your latest edit. I have given good references at the Ernest Jones talk page for a balanced view being far less favorable to Jones. You are giving Maddox's bio of Jones' as the source (reference 3) for the following "he pursued his research interests in childhood sexuality during interviews with four children with a line of questioning that resulted in him facing trial over allegations of improper conduct." As the book Susan Isaacs: a life freeing the minds of children page 67 makes clear Maddox does not support that text, quite the opposite in fact, as Maddox is cited for the opposite view: "the details of his trial suggest that he might have been very lucky to escape conviction (Maddox, 2006)". Overagainst (talk) 18:52, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

note 2 follows the Maddox account in referring to the possibility of Jones's loss of self control and his own inaccurate account of the episode. But there is no consensus on this. Maddox's account is based on the Kuhn account in Studies in Gender and Sexuality 2002 v3 but the same journal carries Makari's refutation of Kuhn's arguments.  (Makari is the most recent historian of psychoanalysis qv Revolution in the Mind 2008). Given the episode occurred before Jones had met Freud and fully committed himself to psychoanalysis I don't see it as significantly relevant to an overall assessment of his life and career. BTW Maddox points out Jones went on to publish his research findings derived from his interviews with children. Almanacer (talk) 10:08, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Sigmund Freud

Almanacer, when someone requests that you take a dispute to the talk page, you should do that. It's an expected part of editing here. Your edit to Sigmund Freud here was a serious mistake. You have added multiple links to Freud family in a completely unnecessary way, and the manner in which you have ignored my concerns and reverted without any attempt at discussion is aggressive and destructive. It may not have been your intention to add useless multiple links, but that is what your edits have actually achieved. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 21:12, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Personal attacks in edit summaries

Hello, Almanacer. You recently made the following comment about me ("a further example of misrepresentation by this editor akin to his fraudulent account of the Medawar text") in an edit summary here. Permit me to point out that, if I misrepresented Medawar, I did so unintentionally. I welcomed it when Esterson pointed out my mistake, and invited him to fix the relevant text, which he then did. That is hardly evidence of "fraudulent misrepresentation" on my part, and your calling it that violates WP:AGF and WP:NPA as well. Please don't make such comments, as they are offenses for which you can potentially be blocked. If you continue, I will be forced to make an issue of it.

You appear to be involved in multiple reverts concerning a BLP matter

Your editing continues to be a BLP issue since Prof Peter Gay, a living author, never states that Freud became a regular professor. You have generously been given an opportunity to discuss this BLP issue on the Talk page by User:Casliber and are ignoring this offer by re-posting your erroneous claim about Freud becoming a regular professor and erroneously attributing it to a living author. Prof Peter Gay never, never claimed that Freud was a regular professor. Resolve your issue on Talk prior to re-posting your edit. You have been given a generous offer for Talk discussion by Casliber and then you ignore it by re-posting your own erroneous attribution to Prof Peter Gay for your own personal reasons. Prof Peter Gay never claims or states that Freud became a regular professor.

Please note that if you continue multiple reverts to text which has been flagged for BLP for your own personal reasons that this is a violation of Wikipedia policy for multiple reverts.

Are you sure your citation "Letter from Mortimer Ostow" on the Jung page is correct? If the letter is "from" Ostow then Jung did not write it as the passage indicates.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. 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!

February 2017

Your 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 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. RolandR (talk) 13:11, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

May 2017

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Karl Marx. 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:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. RolandR (talk) 20:16, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

File:Morfydd Owen Nocturne.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:14, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Anna Freud

Hello. I have created a new section on the talk page of Anna Freud re the suicide of her partner's daughter and alcoholism of her partner's son. I regard the reference I provided as reliable - an interview with Dorothy Burlington's grandson on a BBC documentary made by Adam Curtis. I could rephrase the section to make it clear that it cannot be proved that Anna Frank's methods contributed to the suicide or alcoholism. These are significant facts, I don't think they should be omitted.DH987 (talk) 20:59, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello I have replied to your comment on the talk page.I will not restore my previous contribution, but I think it right to add a few lines on Mabby's suicide. The book I reference on the talk page is based on a series of interviews with Dorothy Burlingham, although critical of Anna Freud, it is not unsympathetic.DH987 (talk) 18:36, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Ernest Jones.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ernest Jones.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:09, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Aquatic ape hypothesis

Can you please explain how this was non-constructive? It is not whether it is fringe science and/or fringe theory, but I thought that such links could still be useful.

Science Focus says that "Westenhöfer interpreted an aquatic ancestry for humans within his 'initial bipedalism' hypothesis. According to this idea, humans are the most structurally primitive of primates and the ancestors of all other primate groups. This work is generally regarded as 'fringe' science today." The lead says: "The hypothesis is highly controversial, and has been criticized by many as a pseudoscience. The hypothesis is thought to be more popular with the lay public than with scientists; in the scientific literature, it is generally ignored by anthropologists." The body also says: "The AAH is not accepted as empirically supported by the scholarly community, and has been met with significant skepticism. The Nature editor and paleontologist Henry Gee has argued that the hypothesis has equivalent merit to creationism, and should be similarly dismissed."

Considering that many laymen seem to see fringe as crazy rather than "an idea or a viewpoint which differs from the accepted scholarship of the time within its respective fields", I think it was exactly the opposite of non-constructive, and I would like to clarify what was the main issue—that they are not relevant (I think the body begs to differ), that it is not fringe science and/or fringe theory? But a 'See also' link is not like a 'Category', and I thought that they fit MOS:SEEALSO in being relevant to the topic. Perhaps the issue is that it is, in fact, ignored and thus does not fit the aforementioned fringe academic definition? Thank you for your time. Davide King (talk) 16:43, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Davide King. My position re your edits to See Also is simply that because the article topic is a contribution to evolutionary theory it’s best to confine links to those topics which are likewise in that domain. This follows the MOS guideline: “Articles linked should be related to the topic of the article”. I appreciate that this is also a matter of editorial judgement but my view is that to broaden the range beyond the topic of the article itself is unconstructive – do we include feminism for instance (mentioned in the body) or “umbrella hypotheses” along with your suggestions? Where to stop? Almanacer (talk) 12:23, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

That is a sound response, thank you. Davide King (talk) 12:25, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

February 2022

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Karl Marx. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. RolandR (talk) 22:51, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Sigmund Freud considered conversion
