Fire alarm pull station

[edit]

Just as a heads-up, I've reverted your edit to Fire alarm pull station in regards to your placement of the copyvio tag. I wrote the passages in question myself for Wikipedia back in 2005 (check the history). From what I can tell, they stole from us, rather than the other way around. Thus the company is in the wrong and not us, because they're not providing attribution per the GFDL. It might even be worth throwing them a message to let them know that they're not in compliance with the GFDL. SchuminWeb (Talk) 07:34, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frasier reversion

[edit]

How is detailed info about an opening sequence "pretty standard"? It has to be notable, e.g. The Simpsons, The Prisoner, otherwise it's trivia IMO. I see nothing in WP:MOSTV supporting your claim. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:25, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gaslighting

[edit]

Hello. What was your issue with my "good faith edits" of the Gaslighting article? A lot of it was straightforward copyediting for WP:TONE, and other aspects - such as moving the good-example origin of the term back to the lead - seemed fairly uncontroversial. The best way to build a good article is by consensus; if you only disagree with half of my changes, it's better to edit those half, than to revert the lot. Let me know what you think. --McGeddon (talk) 12:30, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only main example I removed was that of "don't tell an authority figure about this", in relation to child abuse, which seemed quite a tangential example. We'd need a source that specifically refers to this behaviour as "gaslighting", if we want to mention it here - if you've got one, feel free to link it. If you haven't, it'd be good to discuss this further on the article's talk page.
The lesser examples ("reasons such as getting a court to declare the gaslightee mentally incompetent and grant custody of his/her estate and finances to the gaslighter") seemed a bit over-explanatory, but if you think they're useful, that's fine.
I don't think I removed very much information, in all - most of my edits were for the sake of tone, or cutting the longer sections down for ease of reading. Examples like "when his wife says 'gee, that's odd, I could swear I remember doing XYZ'" aren't in the expected formal tone of encyclopaedia, and I don't think my rewording to "when the victim remarks on the oddness of the situation" actually removes any information, or would confuse a reader unfamiliar with the subject (even a fifth grader).
I think the example in the lead was pretty clear, and an important one to open with and focus on, given that the term specifically originates from a character's actions in a stage play (and that those actions are a strong, easy-to-understand example of the term). --McGeddon (talk) 13:07, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of John Starnes

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article John Starnes, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Notability not claimed nor established. No references.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 23:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of John Starnes

[edit]

I have nominated John Starnes, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Starnes. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 13:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The deletion proposal/debate has been withdrawn, as I read the subject's official site and see some notability. I should've done this from the start..sorry. The notice from the page will go away shortly. I would suggest developing the article more, to establish notability, as there's a lot more claimed on the external link than the article. Also you may want to read about reliable sources. Sorry again, happy editing. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 13:17, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lifetime criticism

[edit]

You need to source this section, and there are no references to speak of. That's why I removed it, because it has no sources and makes complete assumptions out of nothing, and also it is virtually going to be impossible to find sources that are NPOV; you're either going to find 'this network is great' or 'this network is the death of feminism' arguments that have no middle ground. Nate (chatter) 05:37, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So God forbid we take the neutral stance of simply stating what the arguments being made are, without favoring one over the other? Or do you really feel it's "neutral" to sweep it under the rug and deny there's any broad criticism of the network, which is exactly what you're doing when presenting an article scrubbed of anything critical? Nuberger13 (talk) 05:56, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The article should be about the network itself, not the criticism of the network. A vast majority of the network articles do not have sections dealing with criticism except for rarities like MTV and BET, which have either separate articles about the criticism about the network, or deal with them in sourced terms which don't just throw weak volleys like they have TV movies with threadbare plots, use them to program entire days, or they cancel shows with low audiences. If you want to create a well-referenced and sourced article which has a title such as Criticism of Lifetime Television, then I would have no issue at all. But this entire section has only two sources, one dead which linked to a group's PR, and another an entertaiment blog. That is not good enough and has to be removed because it violates NPOV. Nate (chatter) 06:48, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh enough with this trying to hide behind protocol crap, why don't you accept personal responsibility for your actions? It's not that is "has to be removed", it's that you're CHOOSING to remove it. The fact that you are making zero effort to afford this section a place in the article belies your bias. If you felt that the sourcing was insufficient, you could have gone and found other sources that you felt were -- but instead, you chose to simply scrap it, sanitizing the article of any trace of criticism. From where most people sit, that looks like a heavy bias on your part. The unbiased thing to do would have been to find critical sources which met with your personal interpretation of Wikipedia's polices...ah, but that would require you to set aside your pro-Lifetime bias, so screw it, right? To hell with wasting your time creating a COMPREHENSIVE article (i.e. including public reception, which includes strongly opposing viewpoints from most of the feminist community, most of the conservative community, and much of the intellectual-&-arts community). Nuberger13 (talk) 07:22, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have no bias, and I did readd the section about Project Runway because that can easily be sourced. There had been no interest at all in readding the section for many months, and this was already placed under multiple cite tags under the Lifetime Movie Network article, which had turned into a long ramble about made-for-TV movie plots and stereotypes. I agree with most of the points about their films, but it needs to be sourced and meet our NPOV guidelines. I'm sorry, but as the text stood, it was unsalvagable.

A Friendly notice

[edit]

As I do not wish to engage in an edit war with you, your revision of my edits with no explanation as to why does not bode well. I understand that your sole purpose is to improve the article, yet your recent actions have been questionable to say the least. If you wish to improve the article, please let some of us more experianced editors help you in this endevour. Many of us have had numerous experiances in improving articles, I have personally helped improve articles that have been promoted to Good Articles on this project. I am willing to help as much as possible. You must understand that articles on wikipedia must be encyclopedic. As it stands now with the current version, there are many issues that prevent it from being a Good Article. Please bear in mind that anyone can edit wikipedia articles. No one editor owns any one article. As you feel close to this subject, I will allow you to lead in this endevour, my only wish is to help you along this long process. Lets work together to improve upon the articles merit and encyclopedic nature. Happy aeiting.--Jojhutton (talk) 13:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not edit war by continually reinserting non-neutral point of view material into the article Phase-out of incandescent light bulbs.

Reverting to your last edit of an article

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please know that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on Gaslighting. If you create or edit an article, know that others are free to change its content.

By reverting to your last edit of the article, you erased four months' of intervening edits from other Wikipedia users. --McGeddon (talk) 23:30, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Loblolly Pine

[edit]

Being bold is a very important aspect of Wikipedia, but please consider arguments of other editors. Saying that you should ignore all rules anyhow is not a valid answer to my concerns, namely that the purpose of an encyclopedia is to present facts. Your mnemonic might be helpful, sure - but should not be presented in this form, unless you want to investigate on the existence and use of different mnemonics from reliable sources :) And by the way - no, I do not study all guidelines, just guess what the shortcut could be, and this usually takes me to text I want others to read, so they can understand my concerns. Faster and easier to understand that writing that myself... Rror (talk) 23:54, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, for some reason your Twinkle nomination of this article for AfD did not add the tag to the article itself. I've done it, but I thought you should know that it didn't work the first time. ... discospinster talk 03:17, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Loblolly Pine‎. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Rror (talk) 19:10, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Loblolly Pine. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Rror (talk) 19:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Loblolly Pine. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your edit to Dave Ramsey.[1] Please don't insert your personal Bible interpretations into articles. Aside from lacking a source, it wasn't directly relevant to the topic, which is how the suject interprets the emails sent to him. If you want to add interpretations of that parable, it's covered chiefly at Mark 10#The rich man and the eye of the needle. But you should still have a verifiable source.   Will Beback  talk  16:55, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
