Thanks for the welcome. I have not edited a page in over a decade and you are also welcome to edit what ever additions or comments that I make and I will not be offended. It is nice to know that someone is monitoring the pages. They could use a little help and I am curious on how many newsworthy hash lab explosions are required to create a topic page or insert warning labels. I have an extensive library on marijuana and would be more than happy to suggest some good reading material or videos. CharlesMJames (talk) 03:42, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Adding Warnings of Danger to Wikipedia Articles

We never use warnings of danger on articles, whether boilers or illicit drug manufacture or driving while intoxicated. We could add sourced material about the dangers of something but it would have to be expressed in such a way that it is clear we arent giving a warning. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 17:56, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

10-04 Thanks for the explanation. I will write a paragraph about WARNING labels and other packaging requirements required by law in the State of Washington and I can cite the legal code and penal codes. Over and out CharlesMJames (talk) 02:17, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

I also tried adding a paragraph about warning labels to the bicycle page and they were also deleted. Some warning labels state do not remove this label.CharlesMJames (talk) 17:13, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

WARNING! You need to affix warning labels and be able to discuss product warnings. Please do not delete my warnings. Deleting warnings is negligent. Warning labels are now a permanent part of product packaging in the English speaking country of Canada and now required in some of the geographic regions of the United states of America. Sincerely, Charles M. James

Hello, I'm El cid, el campeador. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 17:13, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

I will cite the legal codes for hashish for different states to prove that laws vary by geographic region and that some states allow 28 grams and others 2 grams of hash and other states have mandatory prison sentences. I can recommend some reading material as well. CharlesMJames (talk) 02:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

I apologize, because I usually cite the article when I leave notices like this. But I was referring to your edit regarding stating that bicycles have an average speed of 10mph. You did not cite a source, and frankly I do not think that bicycles have an average speed, and any statements that they do are unlikely to be true. I hope you understand my sentiment. Thank you, and I hope you stay and become a valuable contributor to WP!

Not a problem. I can update the information to include cycling computers. Cycling computers calculate average speed, total distance, and time, max speed, incline and even watts. Velocity and speed can be measured and averaged and should be included on wikipedia for knowledge and safety. I think bicycles have a minimum speed > 0 and can reach a velocity going down hill around 120 kmph. So the slope of an incline can also be measured to state that it is easy to reach dangerous speeds over 20 mph when going downhill. I will add that cyclist can reach top speeds of 110 kmh in the Tour de Suisse. I guess that I could cite data and average speeds for travelling in Copenhagen to keep on the green light path if you need a citation I can get a copy of a citation for exceeding 25 MPH from a police department.CharlesMJames (talk) 03:50, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

10/2021 This year I made a bicycle computer that logs data to an SD card to graph the speed of a bicycle for each wheel turn and uploaded a graph to bicycle performance. Speed can be averaged for each second or a time frame, but I find it best to log data and average each revolution of a wheel while a bicycle is in motion and following traffic laws.

Sexism in fashion

Hi, Charles. I'm sorry, but I've removed your addition to Sexism. Everything you say may well be true — I suppose it jives with most people's impression of fashion and gender in the 21st century in the West — but it's completely unsourced, and it's a whole paragraph. Please feel free to restore it with at least one reliable source. Bishonen | talk 15:30, 5 November 2017 (UTC).

I think I could find a source to cite to support the information. "Women are the largest consumers of fashion and fashion trends favour female consumers. Women's clothing are more colourful, made from a wider variety of fabrics, softer materials, shiny metal accessories, and have more fake pockets. Gender neutral unisex items like leg-warmers or shawls are often sold online as women's or only found in the women's department. Retailers have a higher number of longer coats and parkas for women and they are available in brighter colours for women."

Fine, go ahead. Please don't change headers that other people have written, if you don't mind. They're part of the message, and now it looks, for instance, like I headed my message with a useless red link. Bishonen | talk 16:00, 5 November 2017 (UTC).

Sorry about the removing the link. I think that people need to be more specific with their headers. For instance I was editing the fashion paragraph of the sexism wikipedia page because wikipedia articles on leg-warmers were gender biased. So, a header like Sexisim/fashion/deletion would be a better header. Have a good day.

Hello, I'm Andrew Base. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Hash oil— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Andrew Base (talk) 11:42, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi,

I am Charles M. James. This is not vandalism. I find your removal of fatality and hospital admissions to the hash oil page to be negligent and could be defined as "Withholding information of wrongful deaths and concealment of a known felony". Please consult an attorney before dismissing my work as trivial. I was expounding on the sentence of dealers cutting or mixing fillers and harmful ingredients and packaging it as hash oil. It took twenty people to die before the hash oil wikipedia was edited, but there is clear evidence that they put hash oil in black market vape cartridges and over a thousand people have reported problems to hospitals. Later this year I will try and write a paragraph when I have some time to do some more research from more conclusive findings. Perhaps if you have some free time you could write a paragraph about early cannabis extraction in India and a paragraph on adulterated products and lung damage.

Thanks and have a good year. CharlesMJames (talk) 14:09, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Hash oil. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 17:52, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the encouragement to cite my sources. I believe I had added a book to suggested reading in the past, but it was also deleted. Deleting a link to scientific terminology is more unscrupulous than not citing work. In the future I will save my edits. Best wishes in your censorship endeavors.

November 2019

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Cannabidiol. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Read the guides WP:SYNTH and WP:NOTNEWS - you are interpreting an uninvestigated explosion as if it were related to CBD - that is synthesis on a news story, and is unencyclopedic. Zefr (talk) 15:52, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Dear Zefr, laboratory and factory explosions are a known historical event and a workplace danger in the Cannabis extraction industry causing burns and deaths. Please do not delete information about laboratory explosions as that may be negligence. If you find it to be unencyclopedic please add a "laboratory explosion" page to wikipedia.

Your recent editing history at Cannabidiol shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 stop. If there's anything significant from the investigation - beyond local news - then you can put it back. For now, leave this issue as only news, and insignificant at that. Warning: WP:3RR. Zefr (talk) 23:33, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Dear censors and future censors, Undoing censorship of Cannabis and CBD laboratory explosions is not an act of war or a crime and there should be a way to appeal censorship. Deleting information about workplace safety is negligence in my opinion and I don't find fire and explosions to be insignificant. Please consult an attorney before removing information.
