Four corner soccer

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Four corner soccer, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: 4 corner soccer. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 13:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

The problem is simply that in order to rename an article, it needs to be moved to the new name, not copy-and-pasted because that looses the revision history (which is a GFDL no-no). I've tagged the new name for deletion, after which I'll do the move correctly. — Coren ^(talk) 15:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorted. I did the delete and the move. The article is now Four corner soccer with a redirect from 4 corner soccer. Regards Tonywalton  | Talk 15:40, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

A REQUEST

Dear Itsyoujudith, watching your performance with the article on Bhavabhushan Mitra, I feel tempted to submit an English text which, translated from French in a semi-automatic programme, has undergone a terrible look, especially mixed up with prepositional usage. Can you help ? Anticipated thanks.--BobClive 07:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately, the text I spoke of is, not a Wikipedia page and is longer than an article. I am looking for an expert who could accept a "friendly gesture" of thanks for the work. Congratulations for the deserved recognition.--BobClive 05:40, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Your approach to the article on Bhavabhushan Mitra permits me to expect that you carry on cleaning it up (as well as the other articles I have written in the series). Thanks again.--BobClive 07:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

WP:BAH

Hi Judith. WP:BAH was recently tagged as inactive, although, as I've been doing some BAH-related stuff, I removed the tag. Can we try and get it going again, or do we close it down?--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 12:46, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Comments on User talk:Yitzhak Hudas

Your being incensed is perhaps understandable, but in making your allegations of incivility, you were, yourself, incivil, especially with respect to your apparent assumption of bad faith in accusing said user of being a sockpuppet. Please review WP:BITE. Tomer^talk 12:03, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Antisemetic publications

Judith - any magazine that praises Hitler is almost by definition an anti-semitic publication - I really don't see how it could be otherwise. The minute one crosses the line from ideology to endorsement of subjugation or extermination campaigns and those who promote them(be it the subjugation of Jews, Hutus or Darfurians), one has crossed the line from justice to hate. Best Egfrank 12:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm copying the above comment and your response (and my response to your response) to Talk:Dalit Voice so other interested parties can follow the discussion. Egfrank 13:09, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry.

It's just wigger linked to chav until just now, so I thought I'd make it a two-way link. HalfShadow 21:38, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Admittedly, I meant as a 'roughly means the same thing' sort of synonym; it's not like you'd ever hear the term used here. It's a moot point now, though. HalfShadow 21:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Satanic ritual abuse and Adam

Hi Judith, I have responded to your call for explanation of the used sources in the chapter of the Netherlands on the satanic ritual abuse page.

You are right about the Adam case in Great Britain. It had nothing to do with satanism. A few years ago we had a similar case in the Netherlands when parts of an unidentified little girl were found on different places througout the country. When inspector Will O'Reilly from Scotland Yard heard of this case, he came to the Netherlands where he claimed that both the boy in London as the girl in the Netherlands were victims of so called muti murders. Muti means medicine. The children have been killed by a medicine man, O'Reilly said. He based his claim on information he had gotten from a pathologist who had heard it from a friend in South Africa.

When a Dutch television newsmagazine called me to ask if the Dutch girl could be the victim of either a muti murder or satanic ritual abuse, I told them that this was not likely. The claim of the inspector was probably nothing more than a friend of a friend tale (a contemporary legend), which the media only were covering because an assumed expert from Scotland Yard was telling it. Therefore I advised the newsmagazine not to focus on the claim of the inspector alone, but let more critical or sceptical scientists speak on the matter too. Unfortunately the newsmagazine did not do that. Later the police found out that the little girl was killed by her stepfather and her mother. They had cut the little girl in pieces to make identification more difficult. So there was nothing satanic about that murder and it had nothing to do with muti either.

Harrassing of editors

Hi Judith,

As you know, I and other editors of the satanic ritual abuse page are confronted with the biased view of Biaothanatoi. He removes large pieces of chapters or chapters entirely which do not support his believer view on satanic ritual abuse, and replaces this every time with a biased text.

Is there any way that Biaothanatoi can be stopped doing this? Could you please look again at the discussion page of satanic ritual abuse?: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Satanic_ritual_abuse#Neutral_stance_toward_satanic_ritual_abuse_in_the_Netherlands

Since I am relatively new to Wikipedia, I do not know other people to ask to look into this matter. Could you discuss it with some colleagues of yours? I would appreciate that very much.

Yours sincerely,

Criminologist1963 11:51, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Bans on ritual slaugher

Greetings. Hopefully, you'll be pleased with this. I moved (i.e., renamed) the bans article to Legal aspects of ritual slaughter. This doesn't rule out the possibility of merger into the main article ritual slaughter, though I don't think it's necessary anymore myself. Thanks, HG | Talk 23:42, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Page move

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently you carried out a copy and paste page move from Shannon olympic to Shannon Olympic. Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

BHAVABHUSHAN MITRA

Dear Itsmejudith, no history book in India ever mentions such marginal characters like this, for a simple reason: the fact of having existed and acted according to their conviction (which preceded and prepared the field for Gandhi's non violent method). In my quest for Truth in History, I keep on insisting on their undeniable contribution, trying to save them from oblivion, so that Future may decide what to do with them. I think some more considerate enthusiasm will be required on behalf of fellow editors/users to understand my perspective.--BobClive (talk) 08:18, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Solar energy

Judith... I've spent a lot of time separating the definitions of solar energy and solar power in a reasonable way. I managed to get the page's name changed based upon the uniqueness between these two terms. I have written letters to many national and international organizations involved in solar energy and the responses indicate that many organizations recognize a clear and specific association of the term solar power with photovoltaics and concentrating solar thermal technologies. Solar power technologies generally deliver electricity and sometimes high temperatures for various processes. Solar energy technologies are more generic.

I have asked a prominent renewable energy guru to do a write up on the relevant distinctions between these terms. Would that convince you? Mrshaba 22:36, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Sklar wrote a small write up on the distinction between solar energy and solar power here: [1] Mrshaba 22:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Which includes the reply, "Tom, glad you finally got everyone straightend out on power vs energy. Too bad Scott didn't get it right in the first place. He really does know better." This about "Tom" stating that energy is the integral of power over time, which is what I have been saying all along. 199.125.109.41 18:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

The note section is a good idea. I'm just now performing a calculation to update a wind number we have. I'll see how you handle the placement of a note tag and then follow your example with my calculation note. I'll also order some Susan Roaf books. I'm actually thinking about going into architecture so this fits with my career path. Mrshaba 18:00, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm a little confused. What should be going in the Notes section and what will be going in the References section? Mrshaba 21:43, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

OK... so you're planning on working through all the references then. I'll help where I can but I'm spinning a couple plates already. Hope you like the picture resizing. Do you know of any problems the picture sizing can cause? And I'll check out the Islam page. Mrshaba 22:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Wow. I looked at the references on the Islam page. That's going to be a lot slow and methodical work so I will definitely help out. Mrshaba 22:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I've been thinking about how to do the citations a bit more. I'm thinking about almost being ready to get started on the references. The FA, Renewable energy in Scotland [2] might also be a good guildline to follow with notes and references. Mrshaba 16:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello Judith. I'm going through some of the references and trying to add pages to the references. For now I'm going to add the page references as hidden notes. I think A Golden Thread is referenced several times so I'll do those for now. I don't know how picky we want to get. Do we need a reference for every date, efficiency and statistic that is used? I know I should read the reference manual but I'm spinning several plates as I said. I thought you might know what to do with the page numbers in the Harvard style you're working on. For example:

"Solar hot water systems use sunlight to heat water. Commercial solar water heaters began appearing in the United States in the 1890s. These systems saw increasing use until the 1920s but were gradually replaced by relatively cheap and more reliable conventional heating fuels."

Do we need to put a reference tag for 1880 and then another in the next sentence for 1920?

Also, I subscribed to the ISES journal Solar Energy today. My subscription includes electronic access to back issues. If I find good references while reading through these back issues should we update our website reference tags to this more scholarly work? This is subscription only material. Mrshaba 04:24, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I've been out of town for the weekend but returned to see your nice edits on the page. I retweaked some of the material (storage/mechanical) but I agree with everything else. Mrshaba (talk) 17:23, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Cutting text is not a to do. That is Anon's opinion and I think our quick review of FAs clearly indicated that comparable articles come in at comparable sizes. The text in the PV section that clearly needed cleaning is the bottom rambling half. Over the last few days I've been working on a redraft of the whole section. I'll incorporate some of your wording but I'll be bringing in new material and bringing back material that you removed. As for slimming the page I think the section will come in smaller than it currently is. Mrshaba 10:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Purgatory

Hi Judith! Thanks from coming to help out with the RFC. Since you're here, I was wondering if you could look over the Proposed New Version I wrote, to see if you think it would be a step in the right direction. Basically, I feel like the current version would be very difficult for a general audience to understand-- the current version uses a very dense, jargon-filled writing style that I think is very problematic.

When I wrote it, I actually had naively assumed no one would object to it, but actually I've had trouble getting it to stick, so any advice you could give, one way or the other, would be most welcome. :) --Alecmconroy (talk) 17:01, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey-- thanks for comment at purgatory. Just to clarify, do you have an opinion on whether the rewritten version is better than the old version? There's been much debate about the subject-- I spent a lot of time on the rewrite, but a few people don't like it, so we could use all the definite opinions from uninvolved people that we could get.

I'll try to take a look at Virgin Birth of Jesus. --Alecmconroy (talk) 10:50, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Neither you nor Lima cited policy in defense of Dragini. Self-published web sites are violations by default, and there's no blanket exception for academics or theologians. I was hoping that this issue might force Lima to cite policy, but I'm not sure I've ever managed to make him even read a policy or guideline page. So I haven't been given a policy reason not to delete Dragini, but I don't want to ostracize you, either. Also, I'm not sure what you want to see happen on Virgin Birth of Jesus. The page is far from good, and I'm willing to help, but I don't know what to do. Finally, you speak even a word of Catalan? Estic xocat! (That's about all I remember from a failed love affair in Barcelona lo the 20 years gone.) Leadwind 02:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Your point about experts' self-published material is worth addressing. For one thing, I'd like to address it on the talk:Purgatory page. Personally, I don't think that Dragini qualifies for the exception, but you have found the crux of the issue. For another thing, I'd dearly love for Lima to be the one to cite written policy in Dragini's defense. It would demonstrate that he is taking policy and guidelines seriously. Maybe seeing you cite policy like this would be an edifying example, but is there any way you could nudge Lima to look at the policy page himself and make this argument? If he were to start making his points in reference to policies and guidelines, that would really help the discussion. And, yes, we need more people. If you can corral competent editors, that would be nice. This is the second time Alec's tried to help, and the second time his work's been reverted. But even with just the few of us, there's some progress. Back when it was Lima and me, there was no progress at all. Leadwind 00:27, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Judith, what next? Do you and I debate this issue between us? Do we take it to the talk page? Can you try to get Lima to look at the policy himself? I don't want to sound uncompromising, but Dragini doesn't stack up and is being used to support Lima's POV. I want to remove the material or at least make my case for removing it.

Hegemony theory and world-system analysis

Thank you for your comments on the Hegemonic stability theory article. I think both schools (hegemony theory and world-system analysis) are needed to shed some light on the subject for most readers. I have made some complementary proposal at Talk:World_System_Theory that may clarify this approach. Again I appreciate your advice to a novice editor. --Henri 21:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your sound advice. I must tell you that I am not a social scientist, or even a social science student, at all (!), but an information technologist (!!) with an interest in history and political economy. Yes I too found David Harvey both very accessible and interesting. I think Neoliberalism is a masterpiece. I realise now that I was trying to do a synthesis that may not help anyone at all. My reasoning was that in order to understand the current international position, and within this the overwhelming US' role in world affairs, its hegemonic role, both currents of balanced powers and world-system anaysis may be needed. As a Frenchman I was very puzzled in the way the US' Vietnam war was waged. Giovanni Arrighi called the (relative) military setback in Vietnam (really Indochina) the signal crisis of US' hegemony. When I read McCormick it became luminous: the US, back in the mid 50's, had to ensure a market - and thus a place in the world-system - for Japan. Thanks for the tip about Critical Theory - following up. Henri (talk) 19:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Purgatory

hello Judith, i added the respective citation. i was also looking at the Jahannam article itself, it might need some work. Gehenna does correspond to Jahannam in part, as the Encyclopedia of Islam says, in that there may be some who reside therein only temporarily. i wouldn't say that Purgatory corresponds with the Islamic conception of Hell, but it would be interesting to see the literature on the topic.

Thank you

Hello Judith. Thanks for your comment on the Merritt Ruhlen talk page. You are right that the last edits of the User: 66.245.23.173 are much more moderate and don't have to be called vandalism, perhaps, but this has been the third time that s/he doesn't provide the sources of her/his statements. The wording s/he so often uses might be considered insults by those who do agree (be it partially) with some thoughts of Ruhlen's (changing "most linguists" to "linguists" implies that the minority - and we all agree they are a minority - either doesn't exist, which is a lie, that they are not linguists, which is another lie, or that they are linguists of lesser qualities, which might be true, but cannot be proven, can it? While we would all agree Ruhlen's ideas are controversial (some, perhaps, extremely controversial), it should be explained not only who thinks so, but also why, shouldn't it? Why does the user edit the article over and over again is a puzzle to me, since the article has clearly stated that "some of his ideas are considered controversial," which, in my humble opinion, is quite enough per se. Further, in the course of the article, some disputable points are mentioned in a more detail PLUS references to more specific articles (such as Mass lexical comparison) are made. So, I don't really know...should the wording of a biography of a living person not be more careful? Anyway, thanks a lot for your comment! --Pet'usek ^{[petrdothrubisatgmaildotcom]} 07:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

re: renan and said

even your phrase is pure propaganda and point of view, because Renan wasn´t a racist, and his critiques to Islam are right.

You are the most reasonable of the editors on Wikipedia I am not so clear on the notability policy. As I see Wikipedia is a "free" enciclopeadia, that implies that any knowledge must appear and must not to be deleted or kidnapped.

RfC at Gilad Shalit

Hi Judith,

Sorry for the mess down at Talk:Gilad Shalit. I'm the one who started the RfC and have not been careful enough managing it. Your opinion on the matter, though, as well as anybody else's, is more than welcome.

Greetings and Palestinians

Hi, not sure I know you or you I. However, I noticed your removal of text in Palestinian people on DNA. While you may well be justified in your edit, if you don't mind my saying so, this is a pretty abrupt entry of yours into the article. This is a contested article. So, it's always good to check Talk, where you'll see much debate on this section. Therefore, I would really appreciate it if you would self-revert and, instead of directly removing now, state your proposed edit and rationale(s) on the Talk page. Please? We'll trying quiet the sense of combativeness in this topic area and your cooperation would be appreciated. Thanks, HG | Talk 15:43, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, well. Are you thinking this won't get a reaction? Hmm. Well, perhaps you could at least mention it on the Talk page and give a bit of your reasoning. If somebody objects, will you self-revert then? Thanks. HG | Talk 16:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

In terms of the substance, it's hard to judge because the section has gotten reworked or maybe mucked up. Going back (e.g. January/Dec), the paragraph led into topic-related discussion of population genetics. So, some intro sentences like these would make sense. Check the history and you'll see what I mean. On the larger question of the fringe or minority aspects of the section, I've commented above in Talk (and am not expressing a strong opinion). Thanks for what you wrote in Talk and being so responsive. All the best, HG | Talk 16:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I say you removed the "New research" section as linkspam. Now another user has recreated the section with links to the same site as that deleted. Not sure what is going on here. :-/ Mjroots (talk) 10:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

First I would like thank Itsmejudith for her helpful comments on the information I posted on Jenny Lind, and subquently removed.

Mjroots, sorry for the confusion. It took a little while for me to realized my mistakes :-). Jean de Beaumont (talk) 14:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Judith, as per your suggestion, I have now uploaded information and evidence on the assumed name of "Captain Harris" and consequently restructured the paragraphs a bit. The footnotes you requested with "secondary" (or prime) sources are a little bulky, but there is obviously not one single piece of proof (otherwise others would have seen through Jenny Lind's cover-up a long time ago). Please let me know if you have any comments, and thanks for your time. Jean de Beaumont (talk) 15:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Quantum-Touch

An editor has nominated Quantum-Touch, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. 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 "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 by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quantum-Touch (3rd nomination) and 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. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

New antisemitism mediation

Heya Itsmejudith.

I would first like to apologise on behalf of the Mediation Committee for the delay in this case being dealt with, which is due to a shortage of available mediators. I have expressed interest in taking this case to help with the backlog and to assess my nomination to join the committee. As i am not currently a member it is common practice to for the involved parties to consent to mediation of an RfM from a non-committee member. To give your consent for me to act as mediator for this case please sign as you have for the acceptance of the case on the case page. I look forward to working with you and finding a solution to the dispute.

Mediation Update

Just to let you all know, the case has been started. I have created a little navbox for you to navigate between pages and will be expanded as the case goes on so that its easier for you to navigate. The first page you need to visit in this case is here so you can give youre opening statement. There i have left a few questions for you all to answer. For those that have been busy and unable to confirm their participation in the mediation, they are welcome to join the mediation at any stage.

I can be contacted in several ways in the event you need to. I am normally present on the wikipedia-en, wikipedia-medcab and wiki-hurricanes IRC channels at some point between 15:00 UTC and as late 02:00 UTC depending on college and real life commitments. To find these channels and instructions on how to access IRC go to WP:IRC. Throughout the day, even when i am in college, feel free to email me using the email tool or by emailing the email address on my user page or both to make sure. You can also leave a message on my talk page which again ill do my upmost to reply to as soon as i can. Seddon69 (talk) 20:23, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm kind of uncertain about your statement that fringe journals are not usually published by academic publishing houses, but agree that it's probably correct if taken as I wrote it, which was thinking of creationist journals, and not other fringe journals.

Grammar schools in the United Kingdom

Hi, the reason for bolding "Direct Grant Grammar Schools" was that there are some links to this article with that as the anchor text, and Direct grant school redirects here, so this is where readers will be looking for the definition of that term. Kanguole (talk) 10:58, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Robinson and Meek

I haven't read Studies in the Labour Theory of Value for years! But what I do remember is that much of it grew out of long conversations between Robinson and Meek (and, presumably a couple of other people who were partially in awe of Piero Sraffa, like JR's husband Austin, but mainly JR herself) on the subject. He didn't succeed in convincing Robinson - a lovely little passage in a recent review article says "that he did not succeed in making a dent on Joan Robinson, likely a most sympathetic listener, is apparent from perusal of her booklet On Re-reading Marx" - but he did succeed in making her revisit her earlier assumption (1942?) that Marx was essentially useless as an economist. Of course, she wound up explaining the similarities between Ricardo, Marx, Marshall and Keynes in terms of rates of profit and periodic crises.

If you're interested, here's the only recent Nobel-winner who cut his teeth on these issues talking about them. I can't access it at the moment, but perhaps you can. For something available online that discusses Robinson's legacy, go here.

About Meek, what I remember most vividly is Social Science and the Ignoble Savage, which demonstrated effectively that historical materialism didn't begin with Marx, but was intrinsic to the Enlightenment itself; and also, in an interesting way, serves as a prelude to dependency theory. --Relata refero (disp.) 12:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

New AntiSemitism mediation

I noticed that you hadn't left your statement here regarding the New Antisemitism case. Its important for the success of this mediation that you stay involved in this otherwise i cannot guarantee that your views will be taken into consensus agreed upon by the parties. I hope that you will be able to participate soon. Seddon69 (talk) 23:24, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

1066 and all that

I will certainly provide the exact references that I mentioned earlier, but I am trying to avoid editing too many such articles. Not only because they are painfully full of clashing agendas, but also because I don't want to risk being considered "involved" in these issues - under the ArbCom's colossal copout of an Israel-Palestine adjudication, any admin could hop by my talkpage, tell me I am subject to editing restrictions, and subsequently I would find the real editing I want to get round to, on genuinely encyclopaedic topics like the Basic Laws of Israel, various aspects of the codes, החקיקה בישראל, and so on, would be constrained. Which is why I tend to only go to such areas in response to to an RfC or a post on a noticeboard. This is by way of explanation for why it would appear that I'm not getting my hands dirty myself. --Relata refero (disp.) 12:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Access to books - I doubt it. Currently I'm relying on a few things I have lying around, and seeing if what I remember is also available on Google books. I hope to be back in the vicinity of a decent library soon...

The ArbCom case I mention closed some time ago, recommending a general amnesty (cop-out), discretionary sanctions (counterproductive) and a working group (MIA). [Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles|Here]] is the main case page. --Relata refero (disp.) 14:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Abbey of Stratforde Langthorne

You may want to choose the simple name for it - not sure whether there's a relevant convention. I added a mention of it to Abbey Mills Pumping Stations - which is the modern occupation of the site. There's a reference to BritHist online there, that may also be of use. Good luck. Kbthompson (talk) 13:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Stratford Langthorne was nearer the Lea than the current centre of Stratford. Marvellous place, migrated across a river (Stratford at Bowwe) and a mile up a hill. Now set to move closer to the International railway station ... cheers. Kbthompson (talk) 13:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion

Ah, I wish I knew. It was because I was hoping that someone with some knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism would be able to fix it that I left it there. As dab has said on occasion, something causes articles about Tibetan Buddhism to be written in that turgid manner. The best thing to do is radical removal. Trim all quotes, remove anything political to a new article on Dorje Shugden controversy, and revert changes. --Relata refero (disp.) 11:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Ouch! OK, you might be right at that. Can we in fact separate the political controversy from details about the worship of the figure more generally? Or are they too mixed up? --Relata refero (disp.) 12:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

That seems like a reasonable approach. On this occasion, it might help to put up {{inuse}}, get it to your preferred version and then we have something in history to revert to... --Relata refero (disp.) 12:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

New Antisemitism Mediation

I think thats its time we got moving. A couple of the points have been raised before and felt they were the foundations to the dispute:

• Firstly whether the picture can be confirmed to have been taken in the rally in San Fransisco.
• Secondly to come to an agreement on what new antisemitism is and then to decide what the image is depicting and whether it purely illustrates New Antisemitism or whether it also addresses other issues which could be confused with new antisemitism by new readers.
• If we cant confirm the those then we need to find a viable alternative.

A point i would like to raise is that at some point a lead image might need to be found if this article got to FA. The image in question is not free and couldn't be put on the main page with this article as todays FA. Although not an immediate point a long term solution might wish to be found so that this article could feature on the main page with a viable alternative.

Does anyone have access to Lexis Nexis? It might help as a search on the network could uncover something not readily available on the internet. Reliable sources that use the image would be helpful. Do you reckon that there would anyway of finding third party images that might possibly contain the poster/placard? Also i would be grateful if images of other placards at that rally could be found to find whether this was a small minority at this rally or perhaps a larger group.

Whilst that is being done i wanted to find out on what the consensus view is on what New Antisemitism is? I have read the article and the previous discussion and attempted to get a proper understanding but i wanted to ensure that this was current.

PS any sources you find can you please post in the section at the top of the mediation talk page. Seddon69 (talk) 16:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Mediation

Following discussion at the mediation talk page, i would like to bring up a suggestion that until the end of the mediation to remove both images from the article. There is currently no real consensus on the images so in the interests of fairness it seems best to simply have no images. If you have any suggestions or comments then please come to the mediation talk page to be discussed. The discussion will be open for around 5 days if there are no problems.

Chilean-Australian. Resolution sought

ATTN: PelleSmith, Pippu d'angelo, Itsmejudith, Blnguyen, Angusmclellan, Conman, SQL, Ned Scott and AussieLegend

I think it is in all our interests that we resolve the debate on the cited number of Chilean-Australians.

TeePee and myself have presented our arguments and rebuttals for some days now.

I thank you for your attention to the issues, and especially for bearing with us in this challenging debate. While I can not speak for TeePee, I would assume he is equally grateful.

But now is the time to get this debate finally finished.

I have drafted a comprimise version here (15:58, 17 May 2008 ) which provides references to the Jupp 2001 estimate and the ABS 2006 ancestry estimate, with caveats attached which explain their respective difficiencies.

Now I respectfully ask if you could pass judgement on my text for this version, with a support or oppose provided on Talk:Chilean Australian. If you have not responded by 20 May I will presume you have elected not to take part.

I myself, and I would hope and expect TeePee, will abide by your ruling.

Thank you. Kransky (talk) 16:42, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

"Although I do think it is in all our interest that we resolve the debate, I still think there are some issues needed to be addressed. I am equally as grateful as Kransky for all your time and effort but do not agree with his revision especially since it still contains information which has been referenced by an invalid reference which has been the major issues I have had with him throughout the whole history of this article. My version here provides references to the Embassy 2006 estimate and the ABS 2006 ancestory estimate. I respectfully ask you view my edit first as I asked first and tell me what problems you have with it before viewing Kransky's revision. (This was the terms I agreed to Kransky before promising I would not revert your revision, as you did not respect my request and want your revision to be viewed first I do not see why I should respect your request and let the article remain in it's current revision especially since you have provided that invalid reference which you have been doing for months).

Solar energy

I'm afraid the solar energy page is going to get hectic again. Such a pity as it seems to be improving. Mrshaba (talk) 15:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Uh, there may be a disagreement about that. However, going back to a version with a one paragraph lead is a major step backwards. The lead needs to have 3-4 paragraphs. 199.125.109.134 (talk) 08:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

You know how I dislike discussing things in the wrong place, but just as a hint, if you like the verbage in the one paragraph version, just take out 99.9%, which has to go, replacing with "most", then split it up any way you wish into three or four paragraphs. But keep the new images, the ones of the sun are not appropriate. But include clothes drying, an often forgotten but essential element of solar energy. 199.125.109.134 (talk) 08:25, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

It appears 199 has started a few sockpuppet accounts but I can't be sure. Oy vei! Oh well... The PV sections and Deployment blurbs are getting close to complete from my perspective. I've been collecting the research to finish off these sections and I might be able to get a rough draft done by the end of the week. I might (or you could) try trimming the storage section after that (or concurrently). Those are the to dos from my perspective. I guess a group copyedit could follow that. Hope you enjoyed your vacation. Cheers. Mrshaba (talk) 18:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what to do about FAC for solar energy. The anonymous editor seems intent on screwing with the page. I think any attempts to resolve the sub-articles will run into the same issues that have tied up the solar energy page. I'm leaning toward submitting the page for consideration and getting some suggestions on improvement. What do you think? Mrshaba (talk) 20:45, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Judith... I'm happy to see you remove the box diagram but I'm pretty sure it's going to make it's way back on the page. The box situation has gone to mediation so hopefully this saga in nearing an end. I know you've generally stayed out of my arguments with 199 but it would probably help if you put in your two cents on the mediation preceding. Mrshaba (talk) 20:24, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Water fluoridation

Just a note to say kudos for trying to bring some sense to the article, and the Opposition article, I spent a little time there and gave up in the face of the relentless efforts to add every single bad thing ever about fluoridation into both articles. If you can bring that mess into NPOV, more power to you!

I will say here that I'm not happy about either of fluoridation.com or fluoridealert.org being used for sources, and I'm not sure about scanned letters saying "we don't use fluoride" as negative proof to fill out the global picture, as opposed to just listing the countries where fluoridation is used, or has been used then rejected.

But good luck and thanks for putting in the effort. Cheers! Franamax (talk) 08:29, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Amy WInehouse

."..Not necessary to list other alumni. The school is linked"

I respectfully disagree with your removal of the text I inserted here:

Actually it IS necessary to list the other alum. The only reason she even came on my radar as an artist is when I heard a radio report about the wealth of talent coming out of The Brit School and the vein of their music. Also, listings of other notable co-students, co-alums are included all over Wikipedia when mentioning where a notable went to school. Further, notables in the arts have a way of flourishing in certain environments with other artists; it is crucial to know who they are; or, that they were also taught by the same teachers, etc.

Hence, it would be quite useful to have those artists listed.

Thanks for considering.

Why am I being unable to login?

Dear Madam,

I had been able to sign up and login an year before in Wikipedia using my username Lutfullah. I had made, if you can kindly remember, a few contributions to the talk page on the article on Shaikh Shafuddin Bu Ali Qalandar of Panipat, India and had answered to your queries on those contributions.

Sukyo Mahikari

You can try to continue to unilaterally delete my posts to make this article FAIR AND BALANCED, but I will also continue to stop you. You are in violation of the Wiki policy and obviously do not want the FACTS known about this so-called spiritual group. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Honestyisbestpolicy (talk • contribs) 17:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC) (Moved the comment here from the top of the page, turned first words into heading. It's about the article Sukyo Mahikari. Itsmejudith (talk) 19:29, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

As you stated in your earlier comments on the Discussion Page of the Sukyo Mahikari article, it is fair and proper to post information from Mahikari literature. That is what I did --and sourced it--in the last round of edits, which you AGAIN UNILATERALLY DELETED!!! If they weren't formatted properly, then *reformat them*, why delete them??? Are you afraid of the truth being shown to the world? Mahikari does not allow non-members to read the Goseigen, because frankly if the rest of the world knew their true views they would lose members. I am not making up the statements that I posted--I'm just sharing what's in PRINT from the Mahikari organization about their beliefs. This is in good faith. Your efforts to silence the truth, is what troubles me. . . Honestyisbestpolicy (talk) 18:11, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

It's not up to anyone else to correct a reference that just says 'insert footnote here'. And it looks as though you are telling us that your edit isn't verifiable because Wikipedia readers can't check it for themselves. You mention good faith, and one of the key guidelines of Wikipedia is that editors should extend good faith to others, something you are clearly not doing. Doug Weller (talk) 18:24, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I would gladly send a link or reference to *ANYONE* who wants a copy of the Goseigen. Regretfully, only members or former members have access to the text. That is my point--the truth isn't publically known because SM encourages members to keep it secret. The Goseigen is not something you can order online like a Bible or pick up in a store--you MUST become a member to have access to the book. Do you have $300, three months, and lots of other "donations" to throw away just to get the facts? This is why, in good faith, I am sharing the facts of their writings within this article. I have given the public a link to the closest resource available online to read Mahikari statements themselves. You will see it under References. Honestyisbestpolicy (talk) 18:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

This raises a number of issues about what constitutes a reliable source and how that source should be used. I will discuss these on the Sukyo Mahikari page. Itsmejudith (talk) 08:14, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Itsmejudith's change to stubify the page. My edits were from a verifiable source, the Goseigen. As I've mentioned before, it is available only to members. However, in the reference section I added the ISDN number of the book so people who were interested in finding a copy could try to find in a library (though I doubt many would carry it). It is a legitimate source--if the Bible is considered a legitimate source for Wiki then why not the Goseigen? Just because SM restricts it to Members Only does not make it less valid---it just makes it harder to find. I disagree with DougWellers assertions that I am preaching and he has chosen to only edit the material I have posted, not others whose statements that had been there much longer. Doug, I suggest you look up the Goseigen from either an online used bookstore (former members I'm sure have tried to get rid of theirs) or an academic library. You will see you are indeed wrong to remove my comments. While you accuse me of having a personal agenda, I have only tried to balance this Sukyo Mahikari article--which until I tried to post the truth about their teachings--had been a blatant propoganda piece for them. . . Why did you not stop or clean up those posts, sir? Honestyisbestpolicy (talk) 17:04, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you are asking me here, but if you had posted to the Talk page with specific concerns I probably would have helped you. As it was, you kept me busy enough on the article yourself and I wasn't going to spend more time. Plus you made various accusations against me. I've just checked several UK university libraries and they don't have the book. Being available 2nd hand I don't think counts, but do bring it up on the Reliable Sources notice board and if they agree, great. Explain the problem of availability. I suggest though that you first actually try to find it in libraries, as I've looked at a few and they didn't have it (you know you can click on the ISDN to search). Doug Weller (talk) 17:43, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Doug, I don't need to find a copy -- I already have one! We are in a circular argument here. . .I am trying to share a resource that few people have. I'm sure members or former members who come to the article could comment on the accuracy of the statements if you would let them actual stand in the article without DELETING them as you have, since they should have copies of the Goseigen. When a secretive cult wants to keep their information secret, of course it's not going to be easy to find and verify. That doesn't make the information less valid. You've let brochures and other lesser published academic articles be used as sources. The Goseigen has been read by thousands of people, and if you can find a used book I'm sure you can verify the statements. And what is wrong about geting a book from a 2nd hand store? "Being available 2nd hand I don't think counts". . What???? It's the same book!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Honestyisbestpolicy (talk • Honestyisbestpolicy (talk) 18:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)contribs) 18:55, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Keep in mind that FPMT projects are sometimes not being posted on the internet. The waterbowl offerings was made in December of 2008. If you need any photos of the waterbowl offering event, I can provide them for you. I follow the Wikipedia "ignore all rules" policy for this case.

Hi Judith,

Thank you for your kind words. I am however very busy in real life and can not contribute much to wikipedia. Hope everything is going well on your side.
