My last wikibreak edit

For someone taking a Wikibreak, Kendrick7 sure is doing a lot of editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.77.167 (talk) 07:56, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Ralph Kauzlarich edit

 

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Ralph Kauzlarich. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ralph Kauzlarich (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:04, 17 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Civil war and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict edit

Hi, the Israel-Palestine conflict isn't a civil war. It isn't a conflict within a single nation state. It's regarded as 'an international armed conflict' rather than a 'non-international armed conflict'. As far as I'm aware both the UN and Israel along with many other parties treat the conflict as 'an international armed conflict' from the legal perspective. In any case, edit warring on an article covered by discretionary sanctions is a bad idea. Sean.hoyland - talk 04:53, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think you are grasping at straws and that to maintain that this matter is a mere dispute is to sweep the true nature of the conflict under the rug. A "dispute" is something you have over a parking ticket or a sandwich shop that has screwed up your order. The historical definition of civil war is merely a conflict among a contiguous group of cities (the "civil" is from the Latin "civis" meaning city or town). FYI -- I was a strong advocate for those sanctions when that case was before ARBCOM, since, well, both sides of this civil war have their partisans, etc. But it's like they say about addicts, the first step is admitting you have a problem, and I understand why certain parties don't want to admit the true nature of the situation. That shouldn't be wikipedia's concern though. -- Kendrick7talk 05:04, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'm not grasping at anything. The true nature of the conflict isn't relevant. It's about how reliable sources describe it and the sources regard it as an international armed conflict rather than a non-international armed conflict. You can easily find sources yourself. It isn't an unimportant distinction because it has major implications when it comes to Israel's obligations with respect to international law e.g. the illegal transportation of Palestinian prisoners out of a territories held under belligerent occupation (and recognised as being under belligerent occupation by the Supreme Court of Israel in the case of the West Bank) and imprisoned in Israel.

No problem Kendrick. Trust me, I did a triple-take on the names until I was sure it was not a typo. To be honest, I think it might be a typo but since the rest of it is written in perfect English, maybe they just did something "original" to cause us some wikipain. : ) GaussianCopula (talk) 15:20, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Revert/blanking section at Gaza flotilla clash/incident edit

Do not blank sections. Do not revert changes made based on consensus on talk pages. Do not refer to reactions articles as "POV forks" - they exist simply to contain lists of comments made by notable people. Do not edit in ways which are adversarial, and without discussing the issue first on the talk page. Commenting your edits, however, is always a good thing. -Stevertigo (w | t | e) 18:56, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'm talking about this. Do this not. -Stevertigo (w | t | e) 19:00, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
You are mistaken on two counts. One, there is no issue of "POV forking." See the WP:POVFORK page - the term means something entirely different. Arguably, because international responses are largely condemnatory, the concept may be confusing to some. It appears as if you've ignored my explanation above about the purpose of these lists. Two, we don't leave blank sections, even if the text is a little redundant. The solution here is to select the major international commentators relevant to the issue. If you want to argue that some don't belong, make that argument on the talk page. -Stevertigo (w | t | e) 19:06, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
If there are specific issues about whom to include, discuss them on the talk page first. Your adversarial approach is approaching a negative consequence. -Stevertigo (w | t | e) 19:14, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

June 2010 edit

  One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Gaza flotilla raid appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. There is an entire article about Legal assessments of the raid. Some opinions say it is legal, some disagree.

Robert Schimmel edit

Hi Kendrick7

Please review the instructions for the {{recent death}} template—a template that is sensationalist and should be avoided unless truly necessary. It notes that the template is for use when there is extremely high edit frequency. Per the numeric guideline (100 editors per day), this has never been the case for this article. Even with a much lower threshold, it is clear that the template is not now applicable (even if one were to conclude that it had been warranted 24 hours ago). A quick review of the edit summaries in the article history would have demonstrated that other editors had come to that explicit conclusion before you re-added the template.

Rgds, Bongomatic 03:48, 5 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

My bad, but per WP:CREEP, I can't recall the last time I bothered to read a template's instructions. What should be done is to deprecate {{recent death}} in favor of a template for actively-edited articles -- which probably exists(??) but I just woke up. Anyway, this would be way more effective that lecturing people for not reading the fine print! -- Kendrick7talk 17:51, 5 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
The lecture (it wasn't intended to be a scold!) isn't for not reading the fine print, it's for not reviewing the (very recent) edit summaries. I agree that deprecating the template would be a good idea, but I have no idea what appetite there would be to do so. I keep an eye out for inappropriately tagged articles, remove the tag, and leave a clear edit summary explaining the rationale. Usually works. Bongomatic 00:32, 6 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Comment placed here because it is off-topic from Handegg edit

There are indeed far more important things to be worried about. I myself tend to defend IP editing, because by far most of it is constructive, or no worse than edits also being made by editors with easy-to-remember names. On the particular topic of "funny stuff found on the internet", it's regrettably true that IPs as a general body don't tend to do very well, because they are usually casual editors and not engaged with the community. For instance, my first edit to Wikipedia was as an IP, and it was vandalism of Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was not even original vandalism, but something that had been requested elsewhere. On such topics, I do tend to give IP edits strict scrutiny. In the meantime, any editor who is working to dispel the "IPs are all evil vandals" myth has my support, since of course they most often are not. Always good to have a reminder, though.

If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 04:33, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Loki's Wager edit

Hi. One of the references you added [1] for Loki's Wager as a fallacy (Jenicek, Milos (2010). "Appendix B: List of fallacies". Medical Error and Harm: Understanding, Prevention, and Control. Taylor & Francis. p. 323) is a book published in 2010 that uses a one sentence definition that is an identical word for word and comma for comma copy [2] of what was on Wikipedia for four years prior to the book's publication. It's a copy of your own wording that you settled on in 2006 [3], a few of edits after you initially created the article with a slightly different wording [4]. That has to be an example of the book copying Wikipedia's definition rather than the book being an independent source for the definition (because it can't have obtained the wording from where you used as your initial source in 2006, as the edit summary indicates you created and evolved the initial wording yourself: "that's the word I was looking for"). I can't find a copy of the second source you added; can you have a look and see what the wording on it is (Mills, Michael S. (2010). Concise Handbook of Literary and Rhetorical Terms. Estep-Nichols. p. 126.)? Brumski (talk) 13:17, 10 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Not okay edit

This edit summary is not okay; in fact, it borders on a personal attack. Please do not repeat this. Risker (talk) 02:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

That edit was absolutely WP:POINTy, please don't repeat it. if you have problems with a specific article (History_of_Religion), then bring up the problems in its talk page. Do not go and edit a policy page only to address your specific problem. --Enric Naval (talk) 03:52, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Echoing both of the above comments. Please do not do anything like this again. Your reference on the talk page to Slimvirgin (talk · contribs) also seems WP:POINTy. Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 04:52, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
@Kendrick. Judaism is cited indirectly in History_of_Religion#Axial_age, in "including monotheism in Persia and Canaan". The main article of the section, Axial age, explicitly cites Judaism.
@Kendrick. Please take this advice into account: when editing wikipedia, the most important goal is that the articles are improved. Everything else is just a means for this goal. Stuff like civility, no personal attacks, no legal threats, etc was crammed in later because all large internet communities need it in order to avoid exploding. Making long discussions about theoretical points that don't result in improvements to articles will eventually result in your blocking. Idem for repeatedly making POINTy edits that don't result in significant improvements to articles. Always take into final that the final goal is actually writing an encyclopedia, not making sterile arguments about how it should be written. --Enric Naval (talk) 10:09, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, Risker, but if the project is now dedicated to persecuting minorities by declaring their POVs worthless and un-encyclopedic, I won't stand for it. I would hope that Slim, an old time frenemy of mine but still an editor I whole-heartedly respect, might sincerely follow my reasoning -- Kendrick7talk 06:32, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
You're mistaken, Kendrick7, and I don't see where SlimVirgin comes into this at all; if you want to send SlimVirgin a message, her talk page is open and I believe she has email enabled. As far as I can see, the only person being persecuted was the one who was reverting your non-consensual attempt to change a significant policy. Risker (talk) 13:23, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Money Laundering revert edit

Hi Kendrick:

Just wanted to drop you a friendly note to let you know that I reverted your definition of money laundering. Take a look at the discussion page for my rationale. Happy to discuss it with you if you think I am out of line, but I think that the weight of the authorities is for a more narrow definition, rather than the broader one that "How Stuff Works" uses.

Hi, since your name's down on this project, I'm just writing to let you know that there's a discussion going on at the moment on how to format events – and in particular, events that go on for multiple days – on year pages. Your input would be appreciated. — Smjg (talk) 18:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Campaign Legal Center edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Campaign Legal Center requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:05, 22 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

EDog and BLP edit

Hey Kendrick, As a random admin who also happens to be familiar with Poker, I just saw the discussion on Edog on the BLP forum and wanted to let you know that you are in danger of violating 3RR. 2005 has the right of it and can keep removing the controversial material indefinitely per BLP, but if you keep it up, you may find yourself blocked for violating 3RR.---Balloonman Poppa Balloon 22:00, 8 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
