Proposed deletion of Cor publicum

The article Cor publicum has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable neologism linked solely to a non-notable book

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Hairhorn (talk) 18:03, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits

Hi, Josephfmccormick:

Many of the edits you made to the Joseph F. McCormick article were removed or reverted because the content was not cited to reliable sources. While you may be personally certain of the accuracy of the content you added, Wikipedia requires that information to be accompanied by citation to sources that can be accessed and verified by other editors. You can find out more about relevant editing requirements at WP:RS, WP:CITE, WP:COI and the links in the template at the top of this page may also be useful.

As an added comment, you cannot "claim authority" over the article. No one "owns" or asserts control over an article's content; Wikipedia articles are edited collaboratively, by anyone. Please see Wikipedia:Ownership of articles for the governing policy, as well as Wikipedia:Autobiography for the guidelines about writing articles about yourself. --Drm310 (talk) 06:30, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm VQuakr. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Joseph F. McCormick seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 04:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Joseph F. McCormick. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 06:25, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Josephfmccormick. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:10, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The notice of nearly five years ago was ignored. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:10, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Hello! Yes, I have a conflict of interest because I am the subject of the page. This page was put up several years ago about work I was doing at the time. Can you help me to have it removed as I do not consider myself a notable person? If not (I asked this a few years ago), I would like it to accurately reflect the work we did. Thank you, Joseph McCormick— Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephfmccormick (talk • contribs) 03:18, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. The notability of any subject is not based on how they perceive themselves but on how reliable third-party sources do. If you believe the article is lacking information, please post to Talk:Joseph F. McCormick using the {{help me}} template together with the edit you would like to be performed; when doing so, please try to provide reliable sources that support the change/addition.

{{help me}} re correcting Joseph F. McCormick page:

{{request edit}} Hi JJMC89 and SoWhy -- I have requested this article written about me be deleted. In the event it is decided this is not possible, I request the section entitled Transpartisan Research be edited to read as follows:

Edit request (moved to article page)

"After his defeat in the 1998 congressional campaign, McCormick served as an alternate-delegate in the 2000 Republican convention. He then dropped out of active political involvement, citing disillusionment with partisanship.[8] In 2003 he retraced portions of the 1831 route of Alexis de Tocqueville to interview rank and file citizens and political leaders of varying ideologies about the state of four universally held American values: unity, equality, freedom and self-governance. Among the dozens of people interviewed included H. Ross Perot, Ralph Nader, Noam Chomsky, the Chairman of the American Conservative Union Dave Keene, and the President of the ACLU Nadine Strossen. McCormick produced a 20 minute documentary about this trip and a subsequent transpartisan experiment called the Rogue Valley Wisdom Council.[9]

These experiences motivated McCormick to begin organizing meetings among key national leaders from different perspectives.[8][10] Between 2004 and 2007 as co-founder of the Reuniting America Project[11] he and a steering committee organized seven such private, facilitated transpartisan retreats, designed to build relationships and cooperation between over 145 national leaders from widely diverse points of view.[12] Among the more notable participants included in these four day, off the record dialogues were Vice President Al Gore, conservative activist Grover Norquist, co-founders of MoveOn.org Joan Blades and Wes Boyd, former Congressman Bob Barr, president of the Competitive Enterprise Institute Fred Smith, Congresswoman and former Common Cause president Shelly Pingree, President of the Christian Coalition of America Roberta Combs, and co-author of Getting to Yes, Harvard Professor William Ury. [13] From the new atmosphere of trust and respect created emerged numerous cross-spectrum initiatives including the Save the Internet Coalition[8], the Criminal Justice Reform Coalition[14], the Bridge Alliance, the Transpartisan Center, extensive political bridge-building research from members of the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation, including Living Room Conversations, as well as several books and articles about the theory, practice, and potential of transpartisan politics.

In February 2009, McCormick organized the first American Citizen's Summit in Denver, Colorado on the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth with the theme "A house divided against itself cannot stand".[15] Out of this gathering emerged prototypes of a Transpartisan Alliance of grassroots groups representing millions of people and an associated policy council of leaders from major and minor parties called the Sunshine Cabinet. In 2011, he co-authored the e-book Reuniting America: A Toolkit for Changing the Political Game, an effort to summarize the lessons learned in the previous eight years of field research into practical means of reconciling polarities in America at the national and grassroots level."

Please note that I have moved the edit request to the article talk page (Talk:Joseph_F._McCormick). Any further discussion should take place there. Regards, VB00 (talk) 11:10, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
