Other interests edit

I see you have worked hard on the articles related to the 9/11 attacks on the Pentagon. It is a difficult thing to deal with. Truthfully, I feel that those that contradict the findings of virtually all the sane world are either trolls just trying to stir up trouble, owners of websites that stand to lose if we don't allow their websites to be liked to, the misinformed and lastly, the crazy. Not to get you to feel obligated to contribute elsewhere, but if working to ensure this nonsense stays out of Wikipedia is your goal, then you may wish to also look at Collapse of the World Trade Center and 7 World Trade Center. I appreciate you hard work as I know that dealing with this mindthink is not the most pleasant way to spend your time here at Wikipedia. Thanks.--MONGO 11:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia has a policy of no personal attacks This comment [1] violates that policy. Please try to keep it civil, even if you feel you have been provoked. Thanks, Tom Harrison Talk 13:04, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

International Society for Education Through Art edit

I restored the page and moved it here. I hope that works for you; the idea is that you can improve it and then move it into mainspace. We want to preserve the history as a legal requirement and so that everyone gets credit for their contribution. Sorry I didn't see your message for a few days. Let me know if you need anything else. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 20:56, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for December 2 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of people with major depressive disorder, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Producer and Painter (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Archie Goodwin edit

Your edit to March 1 added Archie Goodwin which links to a disambiguation page. I think you might want to use AArchie Goodwin (comics) or code wise [[Archie Goodwin (comics)|Archie Goodwin]] Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:04, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Calendar entries edit

No, you haven't made any case, you've merely listed the edits you want to make.

As it says in the Edit Notice prominently displayed each time you opened the edit window:

  • The births and deaths listed on this page are only for people for whom there is a Wikipedia article (no red links and no redirects). Please do not add yourself, or anyone without a Wikipedia article. Any entry added for anyone without an article will be deleted.

All of the entries you've added are redirects to group articles. This means, as per standard practice, that they are removed from the calendar pages. Again, if you'd like to make an exception for those entries, you'll have to make a case for it at on the talk page of page, or, more realistically, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Days of the year. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 07:10, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

'As for whether or not the Andrews Sisters are notable enough... seriously?'

As no-one has made or even suggested that, seriously, jokingly or <anything>ly, I don't understand why you bring that up. The best way to make a convincing case to argue honestly, not create Strawmen

'If it's your argument that they don't have pages devoted solely to themselves...'

Speaking of strawmen: I am arguing nothing, I am merely informing you of current practice and how it's applied. If you do not like current practice and how it's applied, again, you are free to make a case--honestly and without point-less sarcasm--at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Days of the year instead of badgering me with your games. If it's as obvious as you think it to be, then it will be simplicity itself to gain consensus.

'Just found another one...'

I honestly do not care, and a reading of the principles behind this page should serve to illustrate the pointlessness of your less-than-subtle attempts at bludgeoning someone with whom you believe you have a disagreement.

You've been informed of what you need to do. If you are unable to do so, I suggest you may not be at the right web-site.

I believed you had a case; now, with your immature badgering, I'm far less convinced. Persist, and you get no support and perhaps opposition from me. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 07:43, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

--CalendarWatcher (talk) 07:43, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Do you have difficulty in reading? I DO NOT CARE. If you are actually interested in making a change to the guideline--which you knew about all along be tried to start an edit war anyways--then you must go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Days of the year and make the case there.
You will have to make the case by yourself, as I do not have the slightest interest in aiding anyone who persists in dis-honest argumentation. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 07:58, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
'I'm just going to find people who don't have individual pages, just to make you work your butt off.'
Disrupting Wikipedia to make a point--particularly because you lack maturity to avail yourself of normal channels of consensus--will se you blocked from editing sooner rather than later. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 08:02, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please centralize this discussion at WT:DOY. It's counterproductive (and impossible to follow) to spread it over three (or more) user talk pages. And as a show of good faith, please stop your campaign to make us work our butts off until we have reached consensus. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 10:54, 6 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Gossip networks, social media, and Wikipedia edit

Two other BLPs that you can see in my contributions[2] are Al Giordano and Naomi Wu. Lawrence Krauss, Al Giordano, and Naomi Wu have in common that each has a lively group of people who dislike them very much, and are eager to amplify a gossip network accusing them via social media of bad things.

Giordano is a Hillary-supporting Democrat. Naomi Wu is also not a libertarian, Randian bro...many of her accusers are much more in that category than she is.

It is not appropriate to use the talk pages of an article to lob accusations against the subject that can't make it into the article. But maybe I can say on your talk page that allegations against Krauss and Giordano have something in common with allegations against the artist Chuck Close: that they allegedly expressed sexual interest in women who felt they were being treated like "meat" when they should have been treated like colleagues engaged in the same lofty quest for knowledge and stature as male (or older women) colleagues. (In the case of Giordano, he is also accused of asking women to do work for no pay, which seems a not-surprising claim against somebody running a volunteer organization.)

I am very suspicious of "journalism" that tries to inflate claims of inappropriate horniness onto the same level of "sexual misconduct" as Weinstein or Trump or Epstein. The Buzzfeed article about Krauss has fishy elements I deplore. For example they try to inflate a decision by someone at Perimeter Institute (in 2012 based on a complaint someone made in 2009) not to invite Krauss to give a talk, into a campus restriction equivalent to the one Case Western issued after 2 student complaints, one of them assiduously solicited by a CWU administrator. Buzzfeed also neglects the context, visible in Krauss's bio, that he led a no-confidence vote against the CWU president shortly before his departure for ASU. So maybe CWU administrators had some reason to want to hurt Krauss, when they decided to ban him from campus? Anyway, that is enough from me, but you and I probably agree on more things than we disagree on. HouseOfChange (talk) 23:32, 4 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hahahahaha. Al Giordano recently blocked me on Twitter (this is true) for politely pointing out - with well-reasoned and not insulting arguments - why a Tweet of his was beyond hyperbolic. What's funny is it wasn't until you mentioned him and said something about the gossip brigade that I realized I had been mistaking him for a relative (son, brother) of the late, great comic book artist and editor Dick Giordano, because the Tweet of Al's I pointed out was hyperbolic claimed Black Panther could get nominated for a dozen Oscars like The Godfather, and I assumed he had said that as someone in the comic book industry.
I have never heard of any sexual misconduct allegations, but he's not... exactly the stablest guy, from my one interaction with him. -- JCaesar (talk) 00:58, 5 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hail Caesar :) My point was just that my advocacy for BLP in the case of Lawrence Krauss is not completely explained by my hypothetical love for atheist Randian bros--because I advance similar arguments on articles of non-atheist, non-Randian, non-bros. Even the most horrible person we dislike for legitimate reasons deserves that we follow BLP and WEIGHT on their bios.
But I believe you are trying to make Wikipedia better, just as I am, even though you and I disagree on some points. HouseOfChange (talk) 02:20, 5 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
