Welcome edit

Hi GPRamirez. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for this great contribution. This new section absolutely belongs at the page, and I think you've done a great job of framing it. The topic may also deserve a page of its own; perhaps something expansive, like Armed resistance to racism in the United States. (The Malcolm X–George Lincoln Rockwell telegram comes to mind as also worthy of discussion.) Clearly you are quite capable of using Wikipedia style, but please let me know if I can be of any assistance. Shalom, groupuscule (talk) 01:52, 8 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Black Panther Party edit

Thank you for your work on the Black Panther Party page. There is so much in the current page that is infuriatingly distorted, poorly sourced, and distracts from the salient political history with allegations of criminality. I have been too busy to work on this, but it seems vitally important. I really appreciate the efforts you have made to begin correcting these errors. BlackHistoryScholar (talk) 02:07, 18 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

There are several users who really hate the Black Panther Party, in the David Horowitz school, are fairly knowledgeable about the history, very savvy wikipedia users, and have lots of free time. They have made the page truly awful. The page reads like Horowitz, or Hugh Pearson, only more jumbled. The effect is to obscure the politics of the Party. In the long term, I am committed to helping get the page right. But it is hard for me to find time to work on it, especially given that the Haters are always undoing the work we contribute.

Perhaps if we work together, and recruit a few more knowledgeable and responsible editors, we can get the page right.

Civil Rights Movement template edit

Hello, and good to meet you. Most of the entries you made are really good, very nice. Everyone has missed those. I did remove the Watts riot, which wasn't really Civil Rights Movement related, and put the King assassination riots as a subsection of that entry (and added 'funeral' which should have been included long ago too). John Dittmer, the historian, really has nothing in the body of his article to have him included, but maybe that's just how the page is written and it could be bulked up to include his books and publications, which are now in references. Don't know how the '63 Birmingham bombs and riot was left out for so long. Very good additions. Randy Kryn 20:24 9 October, 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Have left two notes on my talk page under yours. I've put the template events into chronological order (thanks for the push to focus on this again) and added a related section (have put 'Watts riots' into related, seem okay?). Please have a look at both. Thanks. Randy Kryn 13:25 11 October, 2014 (UTC)
@Randy Kryn, Thank you. Although, I have to say, if Emmett Til, the 16th Street Church Bombing and the King assassination riots are full-fledged key movement events, than the Watts Rebellion would qualify as a key event as well. To acknowledge something as a key event or phenomenon isn't to endorse it. GPRamirez5 (talk) 20:57, 12 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hi. Thanks for the interesting discussion. Emmett Till himself isn't the event that was key, but the open casket that his mother insisted on, showing his decaying and destroyed body to the world and saying, nonviolently, "Look what you've done to my son". By graphically showing the results of a legally segregated two-tiered society she nonviolently created a movement action. The 16th Street Church bombing was both directly linked with the Birmingham Children's Crusade - the church being the center of James Bevel's organizing and educating the children to nonviolently take their brave stand, and where they marched out of to take their individual walks to talk to the Mayor - and the Alabama Project, which evolved into the Selma Voting Rights Movement (Bevel and Diane Nash at first wanted to kill the people that built and set the bomb, but turned their anger into nonviolent action for the right to vote and organized, that same day, the Alabama Project). The King riots, I wouldn't really put those into movement events if I were solely writing and assembling the template, but when you put that page on the template I moved it to a subsection of the assassination. After reading the Watts riots page I've yet to see how it fits into the Civil Rights Movement, so I must have a closed personal view of the movement as being first and foremost a nonviolent movement (and would define a 'movement' action as being much more structured than a spontaneous riot, a structure built around obtaining a legal civil right). How about if we move Till to 'related' and extend the entry to read 'Emmett Till's funeral', and leave the Watts page in that section as well? Just an idea, or option.

Selma edit

Hello again. I've been interested in the very large additions to the Selma march page that you've been putting up, almost all of it very good work. The newest data has some inaccuracy, but nothing that's in publication as far as I know. When Andrew Young "suspended demonstrations" he did not have the authority to do that (James Bevel was running the movement), but he made an agreement with Selma authorities to have people sign an "appearance book", a book saying that they were there to register to vote and that it would be enough to call off the standing-in-line at the courthouse. Bevel immediately said that this agreement was not in effect, and King later agreed with him. As you have it written it was King's decision. Just a back-story for you, as you are doing the research right now. Bevel also met with, and was fine with, Malcolm X, who he had heard talk years before. Randy Kryn 17:42 18 November, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I'm not sure how to be more precise here, though, without being even more detailed and long-winded. I mentioned Andrew Young by name to indicate that it was his decision, and I think the language there indicates King did not agree. With that said, most of the sources (Taylor Branch for one) do refer to a plurality of unnamed SCLC executives being "panicked" by Malcolm's arrival. There's a photo of Bevel and Malcolm in that Jet article I linked to, incidentally.GPRamirez5 (talk) 00:23, 19 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I'll check out the Jet page and see if I can photograb the pic as well. A picture of Bevel and Malcolm should be an interesting addition to the important photos of the era if it hasn't been widely used. Bevel was one of those who wasn't panicked when Malcolm X came to town, met with him, and had a good talk in which he invited him to stay and be an active participant in the movement. I should add the Abernathy quotes about Bevel's pivotal role in Selma to the page, but have hesitated using quotes on pages due to the excess weight a quote section gives the words, but in this case they seem appropriate. Again, nice work, and you are really giving the article a much needed infusion of data. Randy Kryn 13:17 19 November, 2014 (UTC)

  Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not do on User talk:GPRamirez5. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Warning is in regard to these unnecessary comments that border on being personal attacks (the edit summary "Pathetic Marek", definitely is a personal attack): "if you can't be adult enough to engage with me on the article Talk page...can you at least get it together to sign your would-be-intimidating postings".

Of course, you may believe that Volunteer Marek, after his numerous sanctions and bans for the very behavior you accuse me of, is a model Wikipedian. I'll factor that in.

  It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large.

Dispute Resolution is about getting an unbiased Wikipedian to assist in mediating a resolution and agreement when one hasn't been achieved between editors in a content dispute. By canvassing those you believe to be biased, you are essentially thwarting the process.

Origins of the Cold War and NPOV Notiveboard edit

Right now, the issue with your proposed text isn't the the sourcing of the information. Just because the information is verifiable doesn't guarantee its inclusion. You need to convince other editors that this information belongs in the article. I suspect ossne of the reasons you're failing to do that is your attitude. The way I see it, you added a lot of text to the article. Later on, other editors removed this and you proceeded to edit war with them. Then on the talk page, when they explained to you that much of your text used bad sources, or the text was unsupported by you references, you fought with them, sometimes using insulting or belittling language. Since then you've been fighting a war on the article. And I'm surse your rant on the noticeboard won't help matters. I suggest you 1) find more sources backing up the claim that lots of historians believe Operation Sunrise was an important cause or contributor to the Cold War and 2) adjust your attitude. Red Rock Canyon (talk) 16:45, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

"Then on the talk page, when they explained to you that much of your text used bad sources, or the text was unsupported by you references, you fought with them..."
Except that you yourself on the noticeboard just acknowledged my sources were sound. So the most unreasonable parties were the ones who dismissed them out of hand, weren't they?
Also, besides my attitude, what do you think the other reasons for the denial are? -GPRamirez5 (talk) 17:23, 5 January 201sssssdssa8 (sssUTC)
No. I said that your sources were sound for including mention of Operation Sunrise as an event leading up to the Cold War. Now that I look back on what you had originally wrote, I see that you included some claims on this topic that were not supported by a reliable source. Additionally, there was all the other material that was removed, and other editors gave a list of reasons to remove it, which included your misrepresentation of sources. That's what I'm talking about. As to other people's reasons for opposing the material, I won't speculate. I would guess they've explained that themselves, if you'd care to read what they've written. Red Rock Canyon (talk) 23:10, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Can you give me an example of what you mean by misrepresentation of a source? Because the relationship between Sunrise and the Cold War was originally alleged to be a misrepresentation by the editors whom you are referring to, and I have since debunked that. - GPRamirez5 (talk) 23:15, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

I know you read them, because you responded to that thread. "Some historians have argued that the Cold War began when the US negotiated a separate peace with Nazi SS General Karl Wolff in northern Italy" was sourced to that NY Times opinion piece. While I personally thing that opinion piece, being written by a historian, is a good reason to include information about Karl Wolff and Operation Sunrise, it cannot be used as a reliable source for factual statements. This was pointed out to you by Volunteer Marek. Additionally, in the same thread, they pointed out that the references you listed after your comment on Khalkin Gol did not support the substance of your comment. Red Rock Canyon (talk) 14:28, 6 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Appeasement edit

Please review WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss it on the article talk page, not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring. During the discussion, the article remains in the status quo ante.

You were asked to discuss this issue on the talk page in order to see if there was a consensus to include the material in the article, and chose instead to re-insert it without discussion. Please do not do this again. Honor WP:CONSENSUS and make your arguments on the talk page for other editors to respond to.

Question edit

I wanted to ask you about a comment you made during the CRM discussion here. What are the best reliable sources you've encountered for the spring and summer of 1963? I've encountered alot of books that are only restatements of Theodore H. White assertion from The Making of the President 1964.

The massive Birmingham protest had triggered demonstrations all across the nation, and, like firecrackers, one popping off the next, all through May and June of 1963, Negroes took to the streets. The National Guard patrolled Cambridge, Maryland; in Jacksonville, Florida, the police cleared demonstrations with tear gas; in Memphis, Tennessee, the city fathers closed the municipal pool. And everywhere from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Charlottesville, Virginia, students manned the lunch-counter front.
The turbulence spread north: in Sacramento, Negroes sat-in at the State Capitol; in Detroit they invaded City Hall and demanded the city fire its chief of police and subject him to criminal trial; in New York, Negro activists dumped garbage on City Hall Plaza; in Philadelphia they clashed with police at a construction site; in Chicago, at a cemetery that refused to bury Negroes. In the ten weeks following the Birmingham uprising, the Department of Justice counted 758 demonstrations across the nation; during the course of the summer, there were 13,786 arrests of demonstrators in seventy-five cities of the eleven Southern states alone.

I came across a quote by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. in Journals: 1952-2000 in which he stated,

My guess is that May-June 1963 will go down in history as the great turning point in the fight for Negro equality. There has been nothing like it in the way of spontaneous mass democracy in this county since the surge of labor organization in the summer of 1937.

I have yet to find one or more works dedicated to that brief period. Just curious. Mitchumch (talk) 18:22, 28 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

As far as full monographs, the closest is the book on the Cambridge movement, Civil War on Race Street by Peter Levy. Also look at p. 165 to 170 in From Civil Rights to Human Rights by Thomas F.Jackson. Recurring discussion of the period appears in The Bystander by Nicholas Bryant as well.-GPRamirez5 (talk) 19:27, 28 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Note edit

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

MKuCR edit

Frankly, I don't think this is a well written text. We don't need a new edit war, so I suggest you to self-revert and discuss this text on the talk page first. I don't think citing a review on a book is a good style: the book itself is a good source. I think the general idea is that western world (colonial) created enormous economical and social distortions in Asia, South America and Africa, and famine was a routine event there. This thesis is supported with many good sources, and we can write a good text about that. Addition of this particular text look premature, in my opinion, and it may lead to your block.--Paul Siebert (talk) 00:16, 27 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=843864046#My_very_best_wishes_and_GPRamirez5-Breaches_of_civility_and_1RR Statement by Paul Siebert I am not absolutely neutral, because I had been involved in extensive interaction with this user during the EEML story. My comments on MVBW are as follows.

1. 1RR violation. Here are diffs of the talk page discussion between me and MVBW about the 1RR violation this user committed (the diffs describing the violation are inside).
I create a talk page section devoted to 1RR violation by MVBW; MVBW's refuses to self-revert; the dispute continues; more; I request MVBW to self-revert again; MVBW's refuses; I am trying to persuade them; final MVBW's refusal to self-revert. This incident is a continuation of the incident reported by GPRamirez5: during this incident, MVBW selectively cited my opinion, because I supported removal of this particular text, although I made a reservation that the text must be expanded and put in the article at more prominent place. After I pointed MVBW's attention at that misinterpretation, this my argument was ignored.
This as a typical pattern of MVBW's behaviour.
2. MVBW demonstrates deep misunderstanding of our content policy. In particular, this user persistently justifies violations of NPOV on the grounds that everything is ok as soon as it is verifiable. Here is an example: I presented a number of reviews on some particular source to demonstrate this source is controversial, and it cannot be used to summarize the current mainstream viewpoint in the lead. MVBW responded that the source is reliable, so there is no NPOV violation, and was persistently resisting to all attempts to balance the bias. Other users point at these MVBW's mistakes too. Despite that, I see no signs that MVBW is going to abandon this tactics.
3. Despite numerous evidences and sources provided at the talk page, MVBW is advocating a single controversial source and removes properly sourced information about the major controversy around this source from the article, this user was properly informed about that and refused to resolve this problem under a false pretext.
This list is not exhaustive. I can present more evidences if needed.
I hope that was helpful.--Paul Siebert (talk) 22:47, 31 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • @GPRamirez5. No, I moved this text to improve the page, and I clearly explained the reason in my edit summary. Also note that my edit was directed toward finding a compromise with you, i.e. I did not revert your edit, but simply tried to find a more appropriate place for it. My very best wishes (talk) 15:34, 1 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Also note that my move and justification were reasonable because it is indeed something only remotely relevant to the subject. Some authors, including Jon Wiener and Seumas Milne, have questioned whether deaths from famine should be considered equivalent to state killings (especially since the demographic data used to estimate famine deaths may not be reliable). Milne argues that, if they are to be, then Britain would be responsible for as many as 30 million deaths in India from famine during the 19th century, and he laments that there has been "no such comprehensive indictment of the colonial record". Is that about killings under communist regimes? My very best wishes (talk) 15:51, 1 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Your arbitration case request concerning My very best wishes edit

Hi GPRamirez5. I have declined your recent arbitration case request as premature. There are lots of community venues where disputes can be resolved more easily and less painfully (not to mention eons more quickly) than at ArbCom. Venues such as WP:ANI (for user conduct incidents), WP:AN3 (for edit-warring), WP:3O (for simple content disputes), WP:DRN (for more advanced content disputes), and WP:RFC (for achieving clearer consensus) seem like they would be helpful. Here is the boilerplate message I am required to give:

In response to your request for arbitration of this issue, the Arbitration Committee has agreed that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.

For grievances about the conduct of a Wikipedia editor, you should approach the user (in a civil, professional way) on their user talk page. However, other mechanisms for resolving a dispute also exist, such as raising the issue at the administrators' noticeboard for incidents.

In all cases, you should review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact a member of the community if you have more questions. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 00:11, 1 June 2018 (UTC)Reply


The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Eastern Europe, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Thanks for this update. I was concerned that people might be expecting me to block for the personal attack. The tone of your comment suggests that AE could be the next step for at least some of the parties. Consider asking at WP:RSN whether democracynow.org is a good source for the statement that Filiberto Ojeda Rios was assassinated. Our article on that person doesn't claim that. EdJohnston (talk) 04:35, 7 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
It's my understanding that strict guidelines usually don't apply to points raised on a Talk page. And within the article, what My very best wishes deleted was allegations of assassination, so that is the fact which I referenced. Puerto Rico's Civil Rights Commission concluded that it was an "illegal killing." Perhaps I should raise that point.GPRamirez5 (talk) 05:11, 7 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
I'd like to clarify incidentally that when I referred to "passive-aggression and gaslighting," I meant My very best wishes behavior, not yours.

Malcom X edit

Hello,

I was wondering if you could insert this Malcolm X quote somewhere on his Wikipedia page

"“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses. The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he’s a the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” ― Malcom X"


Here is the source. It's the second quote from the top. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/search?q=%E2%80%9CThe+media%27s+the+most+powerful+entity+on+earth.+They+have+the+power+to+make+the+innocent+guilty+and+to+make+the+guilty+innocent%2C+and+that%27s+power.+Because+they+control+the+minds+of+the+masses.%E2%80%25

Important Notice edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the September 11 attacks. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Inuit genocidal murderers in California: your unexplained reverts edit

You seem to engage in dangerous historical POV revisionism: genocide denial and shifting the collective guilt. (I give other Wikipedians who had accepted it without research the benefit of the doubt). Explain your reverts: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/937642539 on the article's and WikiMedia's talk pages using RSes.

You've been unsubscribed from the Feedback Request Service edit

Hi GPRamirez5! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over six months.

In order to declutter the Feedback Request Service list, and to produce a greater chance of active users being randomly selected to receive invitations to contribute, you've been unsubscribed, along with all other users who have made no edits in six months.

You do not need to do anything about this - if you are happy to not receive Feedback Request Service messages, thank you very much for your contributions in the past, and this will be the last you hear from the service. If, however, you would like to resubscribe yourself, you can follow the below instructions to do so:

  1. Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
  2. Decide which categories are of interest to you, under the RfC and/or GA headings.
  3. Paste {{Frs user|GPRamirez5|limit}} underneath the relevant heading(s), where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
  4. Publish the page.

If you've just come back after a wikibreak and are seeing this message, welcome back! You can follow the above instructions to re-activate your subscription. Likewise, if this is an alternate account, please consider subscribing your main account in much the same way.

Note that if you had a rename and left your old name subscribed to the FRS, you may be receiving this message on your new username's talk page still. If so, make sure your new account name is subscribed to the FRS, using the same procedure mentioned above.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on the Feedback Request Service bot's operator's talk page. Thank you!
