== Know any law book about interlocutory appeals? ==

Could you please refer me to a law book which confirms what you were saying in the interlocutory article:

"In many legal systems, interlocutory orders are not appealable, except in a few extraordinary cases. When the case is concluded, any aspect of an interlocutory order that has not become moot may be challenged in an appeal from the final judgment."

Thanks.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.69.248.173|76.69.248.173]] ([[User talk:76.69.248.173|talk]]) 19:31, 30 May 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:In the federal courts in the United States, the general statement of the "final judgment" rule, which bars interlocutory appeals, is found in 28 U.S.C. §&nbsp;1291, which reads in part: "The courts of appeals (other than the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) shall have jurisdiction of appeals from all final decisions of the district courts of the United States . . . ."  Other provisions of the law allow interlocutory appeals in limited circumstances.

:If you're looking for a general statement of the law in the United States, not based on any particular court system (state or federal), one source is ''Corpus Juris Secundum'', a legal encyclopedia.  The text in CJS is: "Except where a statute, rule, or constitutional provison provides otherwise, an appeal lies only from a final judgment or order."  I've edited the [[Interlocutory]] article to add a citation to this passage.

I might not have expressed myself clearly enough because your answer does not really respond to my question.

I repeat once again the part of your quote which interests me the most, namely: "when the case is concluded, any aspect of an interlocutory order that has not become moot may be challenged in an appeal from the final judgment."

Once again what you wrote does not seem to support this kind of statement. So, please clarify on this.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.71.237.110|76.71.237.110]] ([[User talk:76.71.237.110|talk]]) 18:57, 19 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Sorry, I didn't understand you.  I cited only the first part because the second seemed to me to be obvious.  If you can't take an immediate appeal from a particular interlocutory decision, then it must be appealable at the end of the case, otherwise you could never get judicial review of that decision.  Nevertheless, I suppose the principle of the availability of judicial review isn't self-evident, so it should be cited.  The relevant passage in ''CJS'' reads: "Any right of appeal from an interlocutory ruling terminates with the entry of final judgment in the action, whereupon the issues raised in the interlocutory ruling are considered on appeal from the final order."  I've edited the [[Interlocutory]] article to add a citation to this passage.

Thank you very much for clarification. I find the main problem with law is that not always common sense are what one would consider elementary fairness is what is observed in the legal system. For example, there is principal that appeal lies from the order and not from reasons for the order. Why would it be so? Isn't it obvious that the order, even in my favour, can be made in such a way that though it looks like I won, while in fact, I lost. And I cannot appeal it because it looks like I won (it comes from the case of a wife who was declared unfaithful in the judgment which she won against her husband and which she could not appeal). Does this make sense?

Or yet another example – res judicata. Suppose a judgment is entered that snow is black, then Court of Appeal supports that snow is black, then somebody proves scientifically that snow is in fact white and one cannot change the judgment because it became res judicata. Does this make sense? Are you aware of any exceptions in civil law which allows to challenge res judicata? Where can I read about it?

Thanks.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.71.235.198|76.71.235.198]] ([[User talk:76.71.235.198|talk]]) 14:43, 24 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Res judicata applies only to holdings that were necessary to the decision.  If the wife was declared unfaithful, but won, then you're right that she could not appeal.  Because she couldn't appeal, though, it wouldn't be res judicata.  If someone stated in another context that she was unfaithful, she could sue for defamation, and wouldn't be precluded from establishing the falsity of the accusation.

:As to changes based on subsequent evidence, Rule 60(b)(2) in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure allows a party to seek relief from judgment based on newly discovered evidence.  If the scientific report on snow came out within a year after the initial decision, this rule would be available.  (I think that most states in the U.S. have similar rules.)  Beyond that, courts can always overrule themselves on matters of general import (such as what color snow is).  For example, compare ''[[Plessy v. Ferguson]]'' ("We consider the underlying fallacy of the plaintiff's argument to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority") with ''[[Brown v. Board of Education]]'' ("separate educational facilities are inherently unequal").  The latter decision was based in part on scientific knowledge that had been developed since ''Plessy'' was decided.  The scholarly authorities are summarized in the decision's famous [http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=347&invol=483#f11 footnote 11].

:I pointed out in my edit summary that the passage you wanted to add (the pro-McCain spin about what a "maverick" he is) was unsupported by the cited source.  You restored the passage without addressing that point.  I didn't respond on [[Talk:Political positions of John McCain]] because there was nothing to respond to; my prior edit summary was still valid as to your former source and applied equally to the new one you added.

:::::The point I made in my ES about the first article you cited applied also to the second and applies to this one as well: "rm claim unsupported by articles, which mention only one environmental issue (global warming)".  The ''Politico'' article talks about the capital gains tax and McCain's promise to appoint more conservative judges.  Would you mind pointing me to the specific language in that article that shows him breaking with Bush on an environmental issue other than global warming?

== Apology ==

It appears I lumped you in a with a troll at the Fox News talk page, and had some apparently unnecessary harsh words for you specifically.  After doing some research, at the behest of Gamaliel.  I see my initial reaction to you was in error.  Therefore, I apologize.  I stand by my words, but I do not believe you are the proper recipient of them, so once again I'll say that I'm sorry for directing them towards you.  Perhaps our paths may cross at sometime in the near future, and we can collaborate peaceably.

== re Rfc ==
Thanks for the heads up on the template error. Hopefully it's corrected now. I'm not sure what you find to be misleading about my representation. The specific 2004 survey appears to be in regards to proposed renegotiations of NAFTA and other trade agreements. We can provide any additional McCain philosophies regarding '''future''' trade agreements without the usage of those types of surveys. [[User:Trilemma|Trilemma]] ([[User talk:Trilemma|talk]]) 21:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

:You write, "The specific 2004 survey appears to be in regards to proposed renegotiations of NAFTA and other trade agreements."  That interpretation explains (as you had not previously done) why you saw his opposition to renegotiation as subsuming his opposition to labor and environmental protections.  The hole in your argument is that your interpretation is purely your spin on it.  The [http://www.votesmart.org/npat.php?can_id=53270#1062 cited source] doesn't contain the word "renegotiation" or any of its variants.  As I've shown you, in the real world the question of labor and environmental protection is actually raised in the context of whether to grant initial approval to a trade agreement.  One POV (a fairly widespread one) is that the proposed agreement should be assessed purely on economic grounds.  An opposing POV (also widespread) is that labor and environmental impacts should be taken into account.  McCain has aligned himself with the former camp.

:You also write, "We can provide any additional McCain philosophies regarding '''future''' trade agreements without the usage of those types of surveys."  Your objection to surveys is quite selective, given that other passages in the article rely on them.  Nevertheless, I'm not wedded to this source.  If you find some source that you regard as more reliable, and it conveys McCain's position on this specific point, we could certainly consider citing that in addition to or instead of McCain's response to the survey question.

Perhaps you'd like to look at the lead section for [[Controversy over an Obama–Ayers connection]]:

:The '''controversy over an Obama–Ayers connection''' arose during the [[2008 Presidential election|2008 U.S. presidential campaign]] of the significance and details of [[Presidential candidate]] [[Barack Obama]]'s contacts with his [[constituent (politics)|constituent]] [[Bill Ayers]], a former leader of the [[Weatherman (organization)|Weather Underground Organization]] who later became a professor of national reputation at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a "very respected and prominent" member of local society."<ref name="bddm418" /> Obama served on two nonprofit boards with Ayers and lived near him, and both Ayers and his wife, [[Bernardine Dohrn]] had hosted a small campaign meeting for Obama at their home.<ref name="pswp418" />  The matter was covered by news organizations and brought up by the campaign of competing candidate [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] in February 2008, revisited during a debate between Clinton and Obama in April 2008, then subsequently picked up by Republican presidential candidate [[John McCain]] as an issue in the general election campaign.  Obama condemned Ayers' past through a spokesman,<ref name="Scheiber" /> and indicated he does not have a close association with Ayers.<ref name="pswp418" />

== [[Sarah Palin]] ==

Regarding the Kopp information, I'm fine with putting it at the end of the section, because the section has gotten bigger.  But may I suggest an alternative: ''deleting'' it from the main article.  The Monegan issue really is now far more about the investigation, Palin's (lawyer's) proposal that the legislature drop the investigation, and whether or not the legislature will resort to a subpoena to try to force her to provide information.  The Kopp stuff was (proportionately) important when it was first added, but I don't think it is any longer, as the situation has evolved.  Deleting it, of course, will deal with any confusion. And it still will be in the daughter article, with all the details. (I note that it's not – or wasn't, last I looked – in the lead section of the daughter article, indicating relatively less importance.)

The more I read what I wrote, the more I regretted my tone. My frustration built with every detail I learned about this Stambaugh character, and I saw your gun issue as a red herring.

== Thanks for your support on Palin ==

This whole thing is getting extremely frustrating. I really appreciate your support for having both sides represented on the bridge and not just the pro-bridge arguments.

May I ask you to revert Hobartimus' edit which he still refuses to defend on the talk page more than an hour after I called him on it?  Unfortunately, I've found you usually have to revert back before Hobartimus will come to the talk page to join in discussions about his own edits. He's still online commenting on my talk page and complaining about my "personal attack" here but I doubt he'll get into discussions of substance as long as his mass deletions remain.[[User:GreekParadise|GreekParadise]] ([[User talk:GreekParadise|talk]]) 15:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

== Your comment ==

After reading your comment on "Obama is evil" argument and "FBI investigation of a fairly minor incident" I feel that you should refrain from editing the talk page or the article. I know you will probably not do so but my opinion is that you feel extremely strongly about Obama (I can't read your Obama is evil comment any other way) and that can be a problem when evaluating the actions of your fellow editors. [[User:Hobartimus|Hobartimus]] ([[User talk:Hobartimus|talk]]) 17:16, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

:The issue is not whether an editor is biased but whether an edit is biased.  You and I have divergent edits here -- you inserted into the Palin bio material that relates only very tangentially to Palin but that seeks to cast a bad light on a Democratic politician from Tennessee, and I removed that addition.  I would be happy for our respective edits to be evaluated by any fair-minded Wikipedian.

:By the way, my political bias is disclosed on my user page.  What is yours?  Do ''you'' feel extremely strongly about Obama, or for that matter about Palin?  or do you believe yourself to be unbiased on these subjects?  Wikipedia allows editing by biased editors, so you're not required to answer; I'm just curious.

== "That One" ==
I was truly shocked. I wonder if it was some deep seated "feeling" that McCain has that just bubbled to the surface. The climate is changing...[http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/opinion/08wed1.html?hp]... I pray for the best. Both McMain and Palin are obligated to stop this "mob response" before it localizes in one lone psycho. When Obama announced, all American's "thought" the same fear. It was too tragic to voice. (It still is) WHen does it deserve mention in Palin's article? If the link doesnt work...google "kill him". second or third page..Wasington Post article is mentioned at ''www.nytimes.com''...--[[User:Buster7|Buster7]] ([[User talk:Buster7|talk]]) 06:01, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

:Palin didn't say "That one" so it certainly doesn't belong on her page.  At this point, I think what's appropriate for her bio is the overall observation that she's stepping up the negative campaigning, and specifically the personal attacks on Obama.  The details belong in the McCain campaign article.  That's also the place for reporting about the unseemly conduct at the campaign rallies.  Even if the words are coming out of Palin's mouth, there's no doubt that it's part of the overall campaign. (I just received an email that John Kerry sent to his mailing list, in which he writes, "McCain allows his running mate to make outrageous charges that only a few years ago would have disqualified someone from serious consideration for national office."  He points the finger where it belongs -- McCain, not Palin.)

:Of course, even to put something in the McCain campaign article, we need a published observation, such as from Kerry if he's been quoted somewhere verifiable. Your link doesn't work for me.  Tell me who wrote the piece and I can find it on the ''Times'' site.

== Dickinson and Rolling Stone ==

Dickinson and Rolling Stone constitute a perfectly respectable source despite not being to the extreme right of the political spectrum. And your desire for an accurate article is admirable and totally in line with WP core policy. But I fear you're wasting your time. As you know, your opponents there tirelessly pass all prospective McCain material through a political filter to prevent informed judgment by the article's readers. Old hands at the filibuster, they will simply parade one bogus argument after another to keep the material bouncing around in Talk and prevent it getting into the article. Ultimately, when this becomes just too obvious, they will claim "consensus" for exclusion—or failing that, covert politicization—of the material. I must say I admire your tenacity. And forcing discussion of material that runs counter to the McCain mytholgy at least enters it in the record, for which all who live in what the neocons dismiss (!) as "the reality-based world" should be grateful to you. — [[User:Writegeist|Writegeist]] ([[User talk:Writegeist|talk]]) 20:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

:Thanks for your kind words.  My opinion is that, currently, [[Sarah Palin]] is biased but is better than [[John McCain]] -- both articles being far too solicitous of the subject.  I don't accept the view that no negative statements may be included unless certified as true by the bio subject in an interview published in ''National Review Online''.

:On the other hand, tenacity is worth something in Wikipedia.  For example, while Palin has been running around with her "thanks but no thanks" lie, the Wikipedia article does record that the Congressional vote revoking the earmark came ''before'' she was Governor.  That simple fact, although rather buried in the article, does make clear to the discerning reader that her statement is false.  The Palinistas can't very well argue with an objective report of a Congressional action.  Thus, although the article is still biased, I console myself with the thought that it's somewhat less biased than it would be if people like you and me had abandoned it.

:I also console myself with the thought that, after November 4, this article will be of considerably less importance.

:Incidentally, by coincidence the use of ''Rolling Stone'' as a source is also being discussed at [[Talk:2004 United States election voting controversies#Kennedy article]], concerning RFK Jr.'s article.

What is an encyclopedia about if not mere description? Is it your intention to revert every single edit I make, no matter how small?

== Material userfied from [[Talk:Chuck Missler]] by [[User:Hrafn]] ==

The following is an attempt by this user to argue that an AfD is required for redirects, in ''direct contradiction'' to [[WP:AFD]] which states "Consider making the page a useful redirect or proposing it be merged rather than deleted. Neither of these actions requires an AfD." It has therefore been userfied per [[WP:TALK#Others' comments]] "Deleting material not relevant to improving the article".

=== JamesMLane's revert ===

JamesMLane has reverted the redirect with the edit summary: "redirecting as nn is improper when the article has survived AfD". I would point out that:
#AfDs have repeatedly disavowed control over merges and redirects as being under their purview (with 'redirect' consensuses often closed as 'keep's).
#AfDs quite frequently result in 'keep's for NN articles: [[WP:ILIKEIT]] & [[WP:IAR]] appears to override [[WP:NOTE]] more often than not there. In any case a two year old AfD is hardly controlling over redirection, which ''does not'' require AfD approval.
#The second AfD on this article was ludicrously superficial (and the first was "no consensus").
#Missler is clearly a case of [[WP:ONEEVENT]] (at least as far as sourced information goes), so an article on him seems to be inappropriate.
Unless anybody can come up with a strong countervailing argument, it is my intention to restore the redirection. <span style="font-family:Antiqua, serif;">''[[User:Hrafn|Hrafn]]<sup>[[User talk:Hrafn|Talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Hrafn|Stalk]]</sub>''</span> 08:09, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:If you think Missler is nonnotable, you should list the article on AfD on that basis.  The incessant relisting, as happened with [[Daniel Brandt]] for example, is abusive and improper, but I agree with you that a two-year-old AfD can reasonably be revisited.  Until there's a new AfD, however, the question whether there should be a separate article on Missler has been resolved in favor of keeping one.  Your personal opinion that the previous AfD was "superficial" doesn't give you the right to override it.  Your edit had the same practical effect as if the AfD had been closed as "delete".  If there's a policy that allows that, please give me the link.  You could reasonably make [[Chuck Missler]] a redirect only if, for example, you were moving the article to a different title.

:As to the merits, I don't see him as a one-event figure.  The article lists him as the article of two books published by [[Thomas Nelson (publisher)|Thomas Nelson]].  I just Googled this search: ''"Chuck Missler" -wikipedia -plagiarism'' (to screen out most Wikipedia mirrors and at least some of the articles about the plagiarism incident) and got 134,000 hits.  Neither of those facts is dispositive but they're indications that we should have an article about him. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]]<small>&nbsp;[[User talk:JamesMLane|t]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/JamesMLane|c]]</small> 09:40, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

#"If you think Missler is nonnotable, you should list the article on AfD on that basis." '''No!''' An AfD '''is not required''' for a redirect. And, even when the consensus ''is'' for redirect, it is not uncommon for the closing admin to kick the issue back to article talk as a 'keep (as in not-delete), you settle the rest yourselves as it doesn't require Admin involvement'.
#The second AfD was ''clearly'' "superficial": the first keep !vote was on the basis that he was a "published author" (insufficient per [[WP:BIO#Creative professionals]]), the second was [[WP:GOOGLEHITS]], the third was bare assertion and the fourth was based on his books being listed on Amazon (which quite frequently lists self-published books of little or no notability). It was closed (after only 2 1/2 days) as a 'speedy keep' as an ''administrative'' matter (the nominator was a banned editor), not on its merits. Therefore the original ''no consensus'' AfD is controlling.
#Your "I don't see him as a one-event figure" is likewise [[WP:GOOGLEHITS]]. If you think that there is [[WP:RS]] beyond this [[WP:ONEEVENT]] then the [[WP:BURDEN]] is on you to produce it.

I would further point out that the ''cited sources'' do not establish Missler's notability as "an author" (other than as a ''plagiarist''), "conservative Bible teacher", "founder of the Koinonia House ministry", "former businessman", "minister" or "biblical fundamentalist". So unless we change the lead to read "Charles "Chuck" Missler is a plagiarist", there is no notability established here ([[WP:ONEEVENT]] or not). <span style="font-family:Antiqua, serif;">''[[User:Hrafn|Hrafn]]<sup>[[User talk:Hrafn|Talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Hrafn|Stalk]]</sub>''</span> 10:31, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:I repeat my previous request for information about policy.  There were two previous AfD's, each based on a nominator's assertion that the subject was nonnotable.  Each resulted in the article being kept despite this objection (the first through "no consensus", the second through a direct "keep" result).  You now contend that you, as one editor, may effectively overturn the result of those processes, because you personally deem Missler nonnotable, even though several other editors who expressly considered and addressed the point concluded that he ''is'' notable.  What policy authorizes such an outcome?  Please provide a link.

:It's just no answer to say that AfD doesn't apply to redirects.  When an AfD results in "delete", the article will often be replaced by a redirect to some broader article.  That's why I said that your edit effectively reverses the AfD result.  The precise issue of notability has been considered by the community.  Your view has not been accepted.  You can't proceed unilaterally; you must initiate a third AfD.  What's the problem with doing that?  The way deletionism is running rampant these days, I'd bet on the AfD to succeed.

----

#The ''guideline'' applying to redirects is [[WP:REDIRECT]]. Please note that this guideline makes no mention of an AfD being needed.
#[[WP:AFD]] likewise states "For problems that do not require deletion, including duplicate articles, articles needing improvement, pages needing redirects, or POV problems, be bold and fix the problem or tag the article appropriately."
#Incidentally, if you don't know what the policy is then '''please read the relevant policy first''', ''before'' reverting and ''before'' making demands. Failing to do so simply puts others' backs up, and make you look foolish. It is hardly rocket science to work out that [[WP:REDIRECT]] & [[WP:AFD]] would be the appropriate policies.
#A 'no consensus' keep + a curtailed speedy-keep-because-nominator-is-banned provides ''no basis whatsoever'' for requiring that the article remain un-redirected. ''Neither'' resulted in a finding that the article to be unambiguously "notable".
#You are incorrect to state that "When an AfD results in "delete", the article will often be replaced by a redirect to some broader article." A "delete" close results in a [[WP:REDLINK]].
#*Your previous statement that "Your edit had the same practical effect as if the AfD had been closed as 'delete'" was likewise incorrect. A delete results in a redlink and the loss of the article-history, a redirect does not. A "delete" takes an admin, and an admin to reverse it -- a redirect takes neither.
Now that I have completely demolished your 'AfD first' argument, do you have any [[WP:RS]]es demonstrating [[WP:Notability]] beyond [[WP:ONEEVENT]]? If not, then I'll return the redirect. If you ''still'' object to this, then I suggest that the appropriate forum is [[WP:BLP/N]] (as [[WP:ONEEVENT]] is part of [[WP:BLP]]). <span style="font-family:Antiqua, serif;">''[[User:Hrafn|Hrafn]]<sup>[[User talk:Hrafn|Talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Hrafn|Stalk]]</sub>''</span> 12:25, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:Thank you for your advice that I read the policies.  I will reciprocate with the advice that you reconsider the tone of your comments.  I am indeed familiar with [[WP:Redirect]], and, because it provides no support whatsoever for your interpretation, I thought there must be some more specialized policy that you had in mind.

:Under the heading "What do we use redirects for?", you'll find the section [[Wikipedia:Redirect#Sub-topics and small topics in broader contexts]], which discusses making a redirect "to a 'list of minor entities'-type article which is a collection of brief descriptions for subjects not notable enough to have separate articles."  That's what you've done.  You'll note that it expressly incorporates the assumption that the subject isn't notable.  If the AfD discussion had concluded that Missler wasn't notable, I doubt that his name would've been left as a redlink; no one would've objected to a redirect to where he was listed.  Nonnotability is a basis for deleting an article but is not a basis for deleting a redirect; in fact, the quoted excerpt from the redirect guideline makes clear that redirects of this particular type are appropriate ''only'' if the subject is nonnotable.

:So, Question One is whether Missler is notable, and Question Two is what process Wikipedia should use to arrive at an answer to Question One.  My answer to Question Two is that our process is the AfD.  In some instances, including the first Missler AfD, that process does not result in a finding that the article is unambiguously notable.  You are quite correct on that score.  In such instances, however, the policy directs that "no consensus" defaults to "keep".  Furthermore, the second Missler AfD produced an unambiguous "keep".  Five users responded, with four favoring "keep", all on the basis of Missler's notability.  One of the four then supplemented his comment by adding that the nomination was by a banned user.  The editor closing the AfD made no reference to the nominator's status.  Nevertheless, you contend that the AfD result was "a curtailed speedy-keep-because-nominator-is-banned" -- a position unsupported by the record.  Furthermore, even if that were true, your remedy would be to re-list for deletion or to request a deletion review (which is usually done to contest a "delete" result but which, according to [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]], "includes ... appeals to delete pages kept after a prior discussion)".

:The difference between us is that your answer to Question Two is apparently along these lines: A lone editor who decides that the subject is nonnotable may treat it as nonnotable, even though several experienced editors in two prior AfD's have opined that the subject is indeed notable, even though both AfD's resulted in the article being kept, even though no additional AfD has been commenced, and even though no deletion review has been commenced.  In my opinion, such a process would be a recipe for chaos.

:There's no reason that the burden should be on me to go to [[WP:BLP/N]] or anyplace else.  If you still disagree with the results of the prior AfD's, then I suggest that the appropriate forum is [[WP:AfD]] or [[WP:DRV]].  The discussion could also include whether Missler's self-published books should be included in the article (clearly they should), and whether they relate to his notability (that would depend on what kind of sales and/or critical notice they received).

Per the passage quoted above, [[WP:AFD]] explicitly disavows responsibility for '''"problems that do not require deletion"'''', a category in which it ''explicitly includes redirects''. Your statement that "My answer to Question Two is that our process [for determining notability] is the AfD" is therefore inaccurate. AfD is the process for determining notability ''only in the context of '''deletion'''. ''[[WP:AFD]] actually gives an exhortation to "be bold and fix the problem" -- clearly giving justification for "a lone editor" doing something about it. That the article stood unrestored for six months rather indicates that there was little in the way of a consensus against my [[WP:BOLD]] move.

::As you have provided no legitimate policy basis why my original redirect was illegitimate, nor any [[WP:RS]]es establishing notability beyond [[WP:ONEEVENT]], I am restoring the redirect. If you revert this without providing such RSes, I will immediately bring this article to [[WP:BLP/N]]'s attention. <span style="font-family:Antiqua, serif;">''[[User:Hrafn|Hrafn]]<sup>[[User talk:Hrafn|Talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Hrafn|Stalk]]</sub>''</span> 03:09, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

:::I'm sorry to learn that I have failed to provide a basis that ''you'' consider legitimate.  As you know, my view is that you are not the ultimate arbiter who's empowered to unilaterally overrule the position of the numerous other Wikipedians who considered the matter and decided that Missler was notable, so your view of what's legitimate isn't dispositive.  You, however, persist in treating it as such, so there's evidently no point in my continuing to attempt to explain Wikipedia policy to you.

:::You write, "If you revert this without providing such RSes, I will immediately bring this article to [[WP:BLP/N]]'s attention."  I'm not going to revert it again because I don't believe in edit warring.  In any event, as I've stated, I don't see this as a matter for [[WP:BLP/N]].  There are no issues here that are unique to BLP's.  This could just as well be an article about a long-dead medieval nobleman, whom some Wikipedians considered notable and some considered non-notable.  What's at issue is following the proper process for resolving such differences of opinion.

:::Unfortunately, after I rule out an edit war I have no bright ideas about how to proceed.  It seems to me obvious that, given your multiple denunciations of the prior AfD's, you should begin a new AfD, but you're apparently unwilling to do so -- a refusal that at least reflects your consistent position that other editors' opinions on notability don't matter if those opinions conflict with your own.  I thought about starting an RfC, but I have to fear that comments you don't agree with would simply be met by, "you have provided no legitimate policy basis why my original redirect was illegitimate".  It comes back to that fundamental process disagreement -- that you edit based on your personal view of the merits (in this case, your view that Missler isn't notable enough for an article), regardless of what anyone else believes.

:::That seems to leave [[WP:AN/I]] as the only option.  I would hate to do that, because you're certainly no vandal and you believe in good faith that Missler is non-notable, but you ''are'' contravening our established process.  In favor of going to [[WP:AN/I]] is that your override of two AfD's, if allowed to stand, would set a bad precedent, which provides some justification for bringing a petty dispute to that page.  Do you have any other ideas? [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]]<small>&nbsp;[[User talk:JamesMLane|t]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/JamesMLane|c]]</small> 06:41, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

=== Continued [[WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT]] ===
"Do you have any other ideas?" '''Yes!'''

You can read the following passage ''which you have repeatedly failed to address'' from [[WP:AFD]]:
{{quotation|<big>'''For problems that do not require deletion, including duplicate articles, articles needing improvement, pages needing redirects, or POV problems, be bold and fix the problem or tag the article appropriately.'''</big>}}
'''This is what I did.''' My actions therefore are <big>'''NOT'''</big> "contravening our established process". I was doing ''exactly'' what the relevant policy exhorts us to do as an "appropriate" and "efficient alternative" to listing the article as an AfD. <span style="font-family:Antiqua, serif;">''[[User:Hrafn|Hrafn]]<sup>[[User talk:Hrafn|Talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Hrafn|Stalk]]</sub>''</span> 11:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I would further point out that throughout the above you have ''never'' cited a ''specific'' (page and section please) policy (or set of policies) that my initial redirect violated. You complaints have ubiquitously been based upon vague and nebulous claims about "established process" and similar -- ''without citing the policies that establish the specific "process" that I am purported to have violated.'' This will make it rather difficult for you to report me to [[WP:AN/I]] -- as you have no policy basis for a complaint. <span style="font-family:Antiqua, serif;">''[[User:Hrafn|Hrafn]]<sup>[[User talk:Hrafn|Talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Hrafn|Stalk]]</sub>''</span> 11:52, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

:I agree that there's a strong element of "I didn't hear that" in this discussion.  You and I have apparently been talking past each other, with each naturally considering the other at fault.

:Believe it or not, I had read the AfD policy even before this discussion began.  The policy states, in your quoted excerpt, that an issue like a POV problem isn't a basis for deletion.  By contrast, however, nonnotability ''is'' a basis for deletion.  I never cited a policy to that effect because I thought it was fairly well known.  Given that I was evidently mistaken, I apologize for the omission.  Here you go: "Reasons for deletion include ... Articles whose subject fails to meet the relevant [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability guideline]] ([[WP:N]], [[WP:BIO]], [[WP:MUSIC]], [[WP:CORP]] and so forth)".  That's from [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Reasons for deletion]], seventh bulleted point.  Therefore, nonnotability is ''not'' among the "problems that do not require deletion".  For a final citation, I'll document that your action was expressly based on alleged nonnotability, because [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chuck_Missler&diff=199305671&oldid=199291085 your edit summary] described it as "redirect of article on non-notable topic".

:In this instance, alleged nonnotability is an issue that has already been considered twice in the proper forum, namely AfD.  You've stated your grounds for disputing the decisions that were made in those AfD's.  Wikipedia policy sets forth the method for resolving such disagreements: "'''[[Wikipedia:Deletion review]]''' considers disputed deletions and disputed decisions made in [[Wikipedia:Deletion debates| deletion-related discussions]] and [[WP:SPEEDY|speedy deletions]]."  That's from the opening paragraph of [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]].

:I don't know if there's a page somewhere that states expressly, "When Wikipedia policy sets forth a procedure for resolving a dispute, and the prescribed procedure involves soliciting opinions from the entire community, and such a procedure is employed, then it's improper for one editor to unilaterally act on his or her contrary conclusion merely because he or she disagrees with the Wikipedians who participated in the prescribed process."  That's probably just an ''implicit'' policy -- implicit in the policy of having policies, which would otherwise be mere essays.

#I have been ignoring much of what you have said because you have been raising unsubstantiated irrelevancies.
#Case in point, it is irrelevant that "nonnotability ''is'' a basis for deletion" -- as [[WP:AFD]] makes '''no''' assertion that it is the forum for ''all'' determinations to do with notability, but to the contrary explicitly disavows any responsibility for questions where a ''deletion'' is not on the table. As a matter of fact, merger discussions frequently raise notability questions, with non-notable articles often being merged into related topics, in part to avoid the possibility of an AfD resulting in deletion. I think this is an example of a [[fallacy of the undistributed middle]].
#[[WP:AFD]] further states: "Consider making the page a useful redirect or proposing it be merged rather than deleted. ''Neither of these actions requires an AfD.''" (my emphasis) Is that explicit enough for you? '''Redirects do not require an AfD!''' (I didn't previously read this far down, as the box at the top already clearly supported my position.)
As [[WP:AFD]] ''explicitly'' supports my position, I think this matter is closed. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Hrafn|Hrafn]] ([[User talk:Hrafn|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hrafn|contribs]]) 17:35, 15 January 2009</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

=== Addendum: review of Hrafn's actions ===

The two foregoing subsections are the ones that Hrafn improperly userfied to this page and removed from [[Talk:Chuck Missler]].  This was the last straw in a series of actions by him that prompted me to initiate [[Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests#User:Hrafn]].  My side of the story is set forth there, with some additional comments back at [[Talk:Chuck Missler]] subsequent to Hrafn's userfication.

:[[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]], you seem to be too focussed on attacking Hrafn, instead of putting your efforts into improving an inadequate article. As I've said on the talk page, the article hasn't been deleted, a biographical stub which fails [[WP:V]] and [[WP:BLP]] has been made into a redirect. Go thou, look for good sources and base the article on them. If it saves you typing, the previous versions of the article are all there in the history, and clicking on the "edit this page" tab will give you all the text to amend. The essential thing is to ensure that all statements are properly backed up by reliable sources. [[WP:CITE]] gives useful advice, and if you've any further questions I'll do what I can to explain. . . [[User:Dave souza|dave souza]], [[User talk:Dave souza|talk]] 09:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

::I've responded to you at [[Talk:Chuck Missler#Report of editor assistance request concerning Hrafn]].  All I'll add here is my response to your comment about my allegedly "attacking Hrafn".  I invite you to read the full discussion with these hypotheses in mind: My comments were directed to the merits of Hrafn's action, with no personal attacks; Hrafn's general tone toward me was far more belligerent and contemptuous than mine toward him.  I admit that the tone of his comments irritated me, so I was primed to react when he removed my comments from the talk page -- a serious breach of Wikiquette, IMO.  It is not, however, a personal attack for me to say of a particular edit that it was improper.  Love men, slay errors, as St. Augustine said.

== Some meta weirdness and an observation ==

I brought this here, because it's not appropriate for [[Talk:Sarah Palin]], but it's interesting in a rather bizarre, interconnected way.

After seeing Al Gore III brought up again, I went to the ''New York Times'', since they have their entire archives online. I found 17 articles about him, although several of them are covering the same event (his fourth arrest for driving violations). What I found interesting is who represented him--a lawyer named Allan Stokke. He is the father of Allison Stokke, whose article was (correctly) deleted and salted, without a redirect. It's almost surreal.

FWIW, there are 324 articles on Levi Johnston, but a lot of them are Times blogs, which skew the numbers (a lot).There were no blogs on the NYT for Gore's first three arrests, and apparently none of the bloggers noticed the fourth one (since Gore is no longer a politician, this is not altogether unexpected). Going to advanced search pulls up only 15 articles on Levi Johnston, two of which are opinion columns by Maureen Dowd and Gail Collins; all of the rest were either duplicate hits or blog posts. Make of that what you will, but at least as far as the Times is concerned, there's not a whole lot of difference between the two young men.

Your snarky "we Wikipedia geniuses" comment on Sarah Palin smacked of admonition to anyone except you, James (and specifically to me!)  Just thought I'd point out the transparency.  [[User:Fcreid|Fcreid]] ([[User talk:Fcreid|talk]]) 23:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

:No, my comment applies to ''anyone'' who thinks that an encyclopedia article is a place for resolving disputes, as opposed to reporting them.  My point is that none of us (myself included) should be taking sides in the various controversies that arise over article subjects.  In particular, the comment applies to you to the extent that you were arguing for downplaying the bridge controversy on the basis that you personally considered the detractors to be misguided -- which is the impression of your position that your comment left with me.

:I'm not excepting myself.  If I considered myself a Wikipedia genius who could determine and announce The Truth for the benefit of the readers, then the [[Sarah Palin]] article would look very different.  "Palin was the most unqualified candidate for national office in recent memory" would be just the start of the facts that the article would report.

::The difference in this case is that you are manufacturing the dispute from thin air, and your position represents a fringe view that emanated only from Campaign 2008 partisan camps.  The campaign's over.  It is inaccurate, of little interest to the public and irrelevant to Palin.  The inclusion of the KAB project in this manner that implies it was conjoined with the Bridge to Nowhere does not achieve article neutrality or accuracy, but rather dupes the uninformed reader.  I'm not going to get in a prolonged debate about this, as this bridge nonsense concerns me very little, but I did want to point out your methodology is transparent, appearing only to champion the cause of someone willing to attack the subject of this biography.  That is further reinforced by your objectivity on the subject above.  [[User:Fcreid|Fcreid]] ([[User talk:Fcreid|talk]]) 00:30, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

:::Opinions differ about the merits of the bridge.  Opinions differ about Palin's qualifications.  Neither dispute is manufactured.  On such disputes, Wikipedia editors are not required to be objective (and, unlike some, I've never pretended to be objective); all that's required is that the ''edits'' to the article space be objective.  (By the way, would "snarky" be an accurate characterization of your phrase "your objectivity on the subject above"?)  If I really were willing "only to champion the cause of someone willing to attack" Palin, then I would be trying to edit the article to give a great deal more prominence to the numerous criticisms of her.  From the point of view of a liberal Democrat, the current article is a whitewash.

Dear Mr.James M Lane,

I am truely sorry for my recent edit on Joe Lieberman. It's just that I got a little carried away with my anger and hatred for him being a so-called "Democrat", but still supporting Bush's stance on the Iraq war, which proved to me that the truth is that Joe is just a Jew trying to controll America.

Still, I admit the action(s) I did was/were wrong. For those who don't know,this is what I did:

:: I replaced Joe Lieberman's "Foreign Policy With Israel" section with this blasphamous comment:

== Miley Cyrus ==

I changed the title because I felt that "Religion and homosexuality" was much more appropriate than "Religion and gays". It is a title (Or whatever you wish to call it), and does not require the same wording that Miley Cyrus used herself. The word gays has, at least to me, a very negative connotation. [[User:Okazakiakane|Okazakiakane]] ([[User talk:Okazakiakane|talk]]) 05:11, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

:To many other people, however, it's "homosexuality" that has the more negative connotation.  I agree that we're not absolutely required to use the same word [[Miley Cyrus]] used, but on a subjective matter like this, using her word seems like the most accurate and the most neutral approach.

== [[Talk:Ricci v. DeStefano#Frank Ricci background]] ==

Hi,<br />
I'm sorry you've been given a hard time about integrating Frank Ricci background into [[Ricci v. DeStefano]].  It may be that people are reacting negatively to the source -- i.e. Slate -- which I understand to be more partisan than, say, the Washington Post. (I don't follow these things closely).  Without staking out a position on the [[Ricci v. DeStefano]] question, I do sincerely think that this info is relevant to the Sotomayor hearings, which anyway are in the news and deserve more attention by Wikipedia.

I'm at work, so I can't practice what I preach, but here's what I envision -- there should be sub-headings in the "hearings" subsection of the sotomayor nomination page, with sub-sub-headings for each person testifying.  One of these subsections will be "Frank Ricci".  The info can go there.  At that point, it may or may not be appropriate to extend the content into a "Frank Ricci" article.  (My instinct is no -- it seems unkind to the man's private life -- but whatevs.)

If you can find sources that are less partisan than Slate, that would be great.

== Palin and Health Care ==

In the interest of full disclosure, [http://www.madashelldoctors.com/ this philosophy] closely matches my own with respect to health care.  For 35 years, I have participated in only a government-administered, single-payer system (TriCare).  While I don't have any perspective or basis for comparison with private models, I can tell you the hyperbole of the benefits and the problems of a single-payer system (on both sides of the debate) is outrageous.  In summary, it's cheap and it works. [[User:Fcreid|Fcreid]] ([[User talk:Fcreid|talk]]) 23:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

== Question about the Palin thing ==
You indicated more than once that Palin's death panel comment had little to do with Ezekiel Emanuel.
Please explain what TIME, ABC News and the Atlantic are missing when they indicate otherwise.[[User:Jimmuldrow|Jimmuldrow]] ([[User talk:Jimmuldrow|talk]]) 15:17, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

As TIME said,
<blockquote>
''Within days, the Post article, with selective and misleading quotes from Emanuel's 200 or so published academic papers, went viral. Minnesota Representative Michelle Bachmann, a fierce opponent of Obama's reform plans, read large portions of it on the House floor. "Watch out if you are disabled!" she warned. Days later, in an online posting, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin attacked Emanuel's "Orwellian thinking," which she suggested would lead to a "downright evil" system that would employ a "death panel" to decide who gets lifesaving health care.''<ref>TIME, August 12, 2009, Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama's 'Deadly Doctor,' Strikes Back[http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1915835,00.html Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama's 'Deadly Doctor,' Strikes Back]</ref>
</blockquote>

As Palin said,
<blockquote>
''Rep. [[Michele Bachmann]] highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president’s health care advisor, Dr. [[Ezekiel Emanuel]], the brother of the White House chief of staff, in [[Michele Bachmann#Health Care|a floor speech to the House of Representatives]].<ref name="PalinFacebookAug7" />''
</blockquote>

Palin posted a link to a YouTube video of the Bachmann speech at the bottom of her facebook page.

As The Atlantic said,
<blockquote>
''Reading the post, it's hard to see what Palin actually meant. Her political spokesperson later confirmed that Palin was referring to the principle of "community standards," which she linked to a New York Post piece about Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.''<ref>The Atlantic, Marc Ambinder, August 11, 2009, [http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/08/the_death_panel.php Zeke Emanuel, The Death Panels, And Illogic In Politics]</ref>
</blockquote>

As ABC News said,
<blockquote>
''Palin refers in her statement to Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., who in a speech on the floor of the House, Palin said, described the "Orwellian thinking of the president’s health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff. ... I commend her for being a voice for the most precious members of our society, our children and our seniors."''
<br /><br />
''Bachmann's speech was based on an op-ed article in the New York Post, titled “Deadly Doctors,” by the former lieutenant governor of New York, Betsy McCaughey, that took a number of leaps of fact when discussing the academic writings of Ezekiel J. Emanuel, health-policy adviser at the White House’s Office of Management and Budget and a member of Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research.<ref name="ABCTapper">ABC News, Jake Tapper, August 7, 2009, Palin Paints Picture of 'Obama Death Panel' Giving Thumbs Down to Trig, [http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/08/palin-paints-picture-of-obama-death-panel-giving-thumbs-down-to-trig.html Palin Paints Picture of 'Obama Death Panel' Giving Thumbs Down to Trig]</ref>''

::You've devoted a lot of effort to refuting a position I never took.  What I've actually said is that the [[Political positions of Sarah Palin]] article should present her positions on major issues.  It can't, for reasons of space, include all the arguments that she presents in support of those positions; if it did, it would become just [[Collected speeches and writings of Sarah Palin]], which is not a proper Wikipedia article.  For that reason, her mention of Emanuel isn't worth including just because it's one of the arguments she makes in support of her position on a political issue.  Her mention of Emanuel also isn't worth including for its own sake, because whether one particular doctor is evil or not isn't a significant political issue on which readers will be seeking information.

::Of course, the presentation of the position goes somewhat beyond just "No on H.R. 3200".  It's reasonable for us to elaborate that, according to her spokesperson, the basis for her charge was the section about reimbursement for counseling about living wills.  That identifies which part of a huge bill she was criticizing.  We have to draw the line somewhere, though, and not include everything she says about public issues.

== Weigh in on an article deletion??? ==

Hello, James. Could you weigh in on whether this article (which I wrote for the reasons stated on the delete page) should be deleted? [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2009 October 27#Peter Hedge]] It is about a horrible crime, a horrible person, but I don't think that should make him immune from inclusion on Wikipedia. I certainly do not think this is 'run of the mill.' [[User:Celiakozlowski|Celia Kozlowski]] ([[User talk:Celiakozlowski|talk]]) 18:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
----
Thanks for having a look James. I suppose I could resuscitate the page as something like "sexual abuse in the Church of England". There are some other cases that were infamous, widely covered, noisily commented upon by the powers that be in the church etc., and so that would really be the way to go. Sexual abuse has had such a profound effect on the credibility of the church as a whole ... and financial impact as you point out for the RC church. I should think the RC experience with sexual abuse is a contributing factor to their shortage of priests and this in turn a reason why the Pope has said COE priests and now congregations who want to come over to the RC will be welcomed into that church.

Meanwhile for the rest of society at large, child-abusing priests have to be one of the main reasons they've gotten so draconian about police checks for any adult having any sort of contact with children. I was shocked when I had to have on file with my church in Bethesda a statement swearing that I had no criminal record or incidents of child abuse in my background. That was to teach one Sunday school class with 3 other adults present -- 5 years ago! I got over here and learned that I would need a police background check in order to lead an origami paper-folding exercise in church if we were located any place except where the parents were. I couldn't even go to the bell tower at the back with the door open so everyone could see and hear what we were doing! Sheesh. Before this year you had to apply every year for this check, and had to have another check if you had contact with children in some other setting, for example, babysitting for hire. This year they made the check more exhaustive, put it all in a database, so you only need to do it once for all purposes, and they update it automatically (which of course means you are now Big Brothered and god forbid they might make a mistake and enter someone else's misbahavior on your record...)

There was a huge row when people in the U.S. anglican church tried to delete a wikipedia page about an anglican priest over there who abused kids...

At any rate, I still think it's a story and Sexual Abuse in the Church of England is the way to go on Wikipedia... but at this point I just don't care. I put in my two cents' worth. I did my best writing a wikipage about that moron and a force that is undermining a major institution that once shaped how people lived their lives. I've lost the will to fight any more on this sensitive subject. Easier just to put my head back in the sand and get back other, more appreciated volunteer efforts. hugs[[User:Celiakozlowski|Celia Kozlowski]] ([[User talk:Celiakozlowski|talk]]) 21:46, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

== Project Runway 6. ==

I was searching [[WP:MOS]], but I couldn't locate any mention of a requirement to use a surname in episode summaries. In bio pages, it's most definitely common, and proper, practice. But on reality shows, there's a familiarity with the hosts, and it seems to be standard practice in all ''Project Runway, Top Chef, Survivor,'' etc. articles to call the hosts/mentors by their first name (particularly because it's constantly repeated).

:You're right that the rules about names are stated in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies)]] page, but I've always seen the same rules applied across the board.  I edit many political articles, and, even in non-bio articles, we routinely remove "Mr." and "President" and the like when inserted by people who find it disrespectful to refer to "Bush" or "Obama" by surname only.  The only exception I've seen is that fictional characters are often referred to as they're called in the work being discussed.  Real people, though, are governed by the "Biographies" rules, even in non-bio articles.

:There are many pop-culture articles that are written in a fannish style.  That includes bio articles.  In writing this response, I thought about where I might find an example, and for whatever reason the first name that popped into my head was [[Joni Mitchell]].  Sure enough, there were several references to her as "Joni".  I [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joni_Mitchell&diff=324227842&oldid=323603179 fixed] those in one section but I think there are others remaining.

:So, as to reality shows, I don't think there's an exception to Wikipedia's general rule on names; rather, I think the editing of these articles tends to attract fans, and they tend to write in a fannish style, as do some of the fans of Joni Mitchell and other musicians.  (Also, it's understandable that they're influenced by the common usage on the show, but that doesn't enter into our policies.)  You and I agree that using the given name is an error in the Mitchell bio.  It seems to me that it's an error in all cases.  As you point out, it's a prevalent error, but error it remains.

:Now, having said all that, I'm not going to get into an edit war about it.  I'll leave it to you and the regular editors of the ''Project Runway'' articles to decide how to handle this momentous issue.  If there's an RfC about it, ping me.  :)   [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]]<small>&nbsp;[[User talk:JamesMLane|t]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/JamesMLane|c]]</small> 06:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
::Heh, you won't get an edit war from me. Oftentimes, an editor, even an esteemed one, when reverting such edits would tend to do it in an obnoxious way--which, of course, ignites my inner twatwaffle into battle mode.

::But alas, your edit wasn't provocative, so I was able to analyze it from your perspective and in basically anything I've written, even so much as comments on blogs, I've used the last name for most people. So, the guidelines should apply unilaterally. I guess it's difficult for some, because saying "Gunn" or "Klum" seems strange. I'm actually intending to edit it so that I can avoid names as much as possible =P.

::You're definitely spot-on about fantards flocking to these articles. And they occasionally make their own rules along the way. You've swayed me, so I feel that from now on, the only time first names should be used are for reality contestants, because they're never referenced by their surname (except with AI or SYTYCD, because they're more popular). So I shall integrate this into my editing mindset for the future and modify past articles where necessary.

::And lastly....That's amusing regarding Joni Mitchell. It must be a hippie thing. I'm kind of a neo-hippie, but I wash my hair, so perhaps that explains my capability of seeing the alternate side of an issue ^_^.--[[User:Cinemaniac86|Cinemaniac]]<sup>[[User talk:Cinemaniac86|86]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Cinemaniac86|Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire]]</sub> 06:39, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

so ... the article on the magazine is wrong?  per it, there was no magazine that month.--[[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] ([[User talk:Epeefleche|talk]]) 05:57, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

:Good question.  All I can tell you is:
:# I was the one who [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeffrey_Goldberg&diff=187680388&oldid=183654509 added] the original citation to the [[Jeffrey Goldberg]] article, and I wrote "date = January 10, 2007" in the citation template, so that must have been the date that was displayed on the ''Radar'' website.
:# The [[Internet Archive]] has the article [http://web.archive.org/web/20080513021832/www.radaronline.com/features/2007/01/betting_on_iraq_1.php here] with "2007/01" in the URL.
:# At that Internet Archive link, there are readers' comments on the article, with the earliest being dated January 12, 2007.

:I wasn't familiar with ''Radar''.  Maybe the magazine posted some articles as they came in, instead of dumping a whole bunch at once onto the site?  Maybe an issue was deemed complete when enough articles had been posted since the last one?  I'm not sure what constitutes an "issue" for an online magazine.

::You may want to take a look at it.  (you may be surprised by two things; 1) it looks like the National Enquirer; and 2) the first thing you read on the page is a solicitation for tips -- call or write, day or night.).  Second, if you take a look at the Radar article on Wikipedia (and since you know how to get underlying articles, you will more easily than I be able to see if the refs support this), "the magazine folded after publishing only three issues in November 2005. ... Roshan ... The relaunch issue of Radar, dated March/April 2007, appeared on newsstands on February 14, 2007"--[[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] ([[User talk:Epeefleche|talk]]) 08:05, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

:::Alas, I have no special technique for getting underlying articles.  I happened to pull the article about Iraq War commentators while it was still on the ''Radar'' site, so, for that particular article, I had a URL to plug into the Wayback Machine.  Still, the passage you quote seems consistent to me.  The Iraq article was presumably completed on January 10, 2007, and posted on the website that day or within a day or two thereafter.  It was then included in the dead-tree issue that appeared on newsstands on February 14.  That scenario seems plausible enough to me that I don't think our [[Radar (magazine)]] article is clearly in error.

== Democrat/democratic, capitalization of ''senate'' ==

Hello James- Just wanted to let you know I didn't make those changes willy-nilly to [[Scott Brown]]. I changed the adjective ''Democratic'' to the noun ''Democrat'' because I think the latter makes it more clear, especially for non-American and non-anglophone readers, that we're talking about the American Democratic party and not the type of government. As for ''senate,'' I looked in a few style guides and dictionaries to verify my sense of when to capitalize the term. Those sources aren't unanimous, but I generally fall on the side of restraining the recent American tendency toward over-capitalization. Regards, [[User:Eric|Eric]] [[User talk:Eric|<sup>talk</sup>]] 18:07, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks for your response.  I agree about making the reference clear, but I would think that the best way to do that is to wikilink the first use to [[Democratic Party (United States)]], and to wikilink subsequent uses if they're far enough away from the first that the link might be missed.  Some people would just go whole hog and wikilink the first occurence within each section.  I haven't checked where the links are in this particular article.  In general, neutral sources tend to say "all-Democratic" or "Democratic-lead".  The frequent use of "Democrat" instead of "Democratic" is a distinctly right-wing meme -- see [[Democrat Party (phrase)]] -- and Wikipedia should avoid it.

:As for the capitalization, I don't think this is a recent tendency.  I went to elementary school in the 1960s and I was taught that a reference to a specific body should be capitalized ("Brown spoke in the State Senate") but that lower case is appropriate for a generic reference ("in most states, the state senate is the smaller house of the legislature").  I think that's standard Wikipedia practice.  Without doing a thorough search, I checked the bios of my state legislators, [[Liz Krueger]] and [[Jonathan Bing]], and in each the name of the body is capitalized. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]]<small>&nbsp;[[User talk:JamesMLane|t]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/JamesMLane|c]]</small> 18:21, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
::Yeah, I don't like that the right-wingers tainted "Democrat" that way, but they have successfully put the English language on the defensive in many ways. ''Liberal'' meant ''open-minded'' before masters of the dark arts took gleeful advantage of the ignorance of our proudly illiterate citizenry.
::I had the same schooling re capitalizing the legislative body when it's in name/title form, and I agree with that, though I err on the side of ''Massachusetts Senate'' but ''state senate,'' while not passionately. My over-capitalization comment was general, e.g. ''Government,'' ''Federal,'' and rampant use of title case instead of sentence case, etc. My work gives me way too much exposure to bad usage and grammar in U.S. government documents, and I see it spreading out like a virus everywhere I look.
::Note: it should be ''Democratic-led,'' not ''-lead.''[[User:Eric|Eric]] [[User talk:Eric|<sup>talk</sup>]] 18:59, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

:::As to your last point, that occurred to me also, but this is a fine point of usage where I have a blind spot.  My guess was that this could be ''-lead'' or ''-led'', but I wasn't sure, so I decided I'd just leave it alone and defer to other editors who don't have my problem with this one.

== Re:  Punctuation Changes ==

I am belatedly responding to reversions that you made to my punctuation changes.  It is my policy to never revert another user's material without first communicating with them, which did not occur in this case.  In any event, I am surprised that you would take the time, and potentially generate ill will, just to change punctuation which was accurate, in order to revert to a punctuation method that cannot be found in any style manual.  Despite the fact that Wikipedia policy may favor leaving such material unchanged, I see no harm in making corrections.

I am sure that you are occasionally irritated by grammatical errors, such as the use of the objective case when nominative is appropriate, or nonstandard terms like "ain't."  I am mildly irritated when I see quotation marks positioned before periods, commas, question marks, or exclamation points.  Moreover, it is helpful for me to correct such solecisms, since as an attorney I know that my pleadings might go unread if I were ever to punctuate in the manner which Wikipedia apparently tolerates.

Perhaps Wikipedia policy should be changed so that:  (1) Nonstandard positioning of quotation marks (e.g., (1) ". (2) ", (3) "? (4) "!) would be acceptable, but (2) changes to standardized form (e.g., (1) ." (2) ," (3) ?" (4) !") would be tolerated, and not subject to blanket reversion. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:LAlawMedMBA|LAlawMedMBA]] ([[User talk:LAlawMedMBA|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/LAlawMedMBA|contribs]]) 02:18, 21 March 2010</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

Apparently you're a Marxist thug. [[User:Magnus Johansson]] is apparently a supporter of Orly Taitz, and has informed her about the article. She's specifically targeting you in this blog post.

There's also a delightful followup (www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=9158). If you need any help dealing with this, let me know. I'm not sure being attacked by Taitz is necessarily a bad thing.

:Trusting to my protective software, I ventured to Orly Taitz's website.  For those not willing to take the chance, here's a summary.  AniMate's first link is to a blog post by Dr. Taitz in which I'm named, in the headline no less: "One of my supporters tried to post truthful info on Wiki. The answer can be seen first. Help me find out who is James M. Lane. We need to identify all responsible."  It goes on to quote a message to her from [[User:Magnus Johansson]] about the editing of the [[Orly Taitz]] article.  He certainly is a supporter of hers.  Nevertheless, his message is about 90% fair and accurate, seeking the kind of information that could actually help improve the article.  She responds by characterizing me as "[t]his criminal Lane" and "[t]his Marxist thug Lane", charges she backs up by imputing to me a raft of edits to the article, most of which I had nothing to do with.  She concludes by mentioning her complaint to the U.N., so I suppose I'll soon be summoned to appear before the Security Council and defend myself.  (My defense will invoke the information that I included in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Orly_Taitz&diff=352104728&oldid=352060175 this edit] to [[Talk:Orly Taitz]].)  The second link is to a further exchange between her and Magnus Johansson, which, in terms of comedic value, falls short of the high standard set by the first one.

:Thanks for your welcome message.  It's a bit late, though, as I've been editing here for more than six years.  I'm familiar with the AGF principle.  An assertion of a violation is generally more constructive if it includes specifics.  I made two substantive edits to the [[Mutual UFO Network]] article.  In both cases the evidence was sufficient to overcome any presumption of good faith.
:* By [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mutual_UFO_Network&diff=281437072&oldid=275670912 this edit] an anon inserted an unsourced statement about "The Legendary Danny O'Doul".  The same anon had inserted similar silliness about this person in other articles (see, e.g., [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jim_Steinman&diff=prev&oldid=281853169 this edit]).  The edit referred to the nonexistent town of Wemphis on Long Island.  A quick Google search found no support for any connection between MUFON and O'Doul.  I removed that text.
:* The text at one point said that one of the predecessor organizations to MUFON of Ohio was founded in 1990.  By [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mutual_UFO_Network&diff=273849708&oldid=273243811 this edit] an anon changed that to 1890, without citing a source.  I'm assuming the good faith of the original contributor, rather than assuming that a UFO organization was founded in 1890.  If you have a source for the rather surprising assertion about 1890, feel free to revert my edit and cite your source.

== About the article "Duvet" ==

Hi. I'm the author of Duvet Cover Kings and although it resides on a .co, I sell no merchandise on the website. There are only articles describing useful information related to the subject of duvet covers. Thank you.

:Well, that's not ''all'' that's on the site -- there are the advertisements that I immediately saw when I went there, and which supported my initial conclusion that this was commercial linkspam.  Upon looking at the site more closely now, though, I see that you're correct that nothing is directly for sale.  The Google ads give it a commercial appearance.  Nevertheless, I think our policy is that Google ads alone don't render a site inappropriate for external links.  The informational content on your site could be of value to some readers of our [[Duvet]] article.  <s>Therefore, I'll restore the link.</s> No need, I see you've done so.

:::Please don't mistake this for a suggestion, either: ''I would welcome administrator intervention.''  I'll begin by pointing the admin to the actual language of the guideline you cite, which reads in part: "'Blogs' in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control."  As I pointed out to you, ThinkProgress is edited, not self-published, so it could be used as a source for the truth of a factual statement contained in it.  As I further pointed out to you, though, it's not being used that way here; it's being used as a source for the proposition that a particular opinion has been expressed, a proposition that we can report per [[WP:NPOV]] ("It is expected that articles will contain information about the significant opinions that have been expressed about their subjects....").

== Article probation ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/JamesMLane|your contributions]] to the encyclopedia!  In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, [[:Sarah Palin]], is on [[Wikipedia:General sanctions|article probation]]. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at [[:Talk:Sarah Palin/Article probation]].  Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.<br /><br />''The above is a [[WP:TEMPLATE|templated message]].  Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits.  Thank you.''<!-- Template:uw-probation --> -- [[User:Kelly|<span style="color:#060;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;cursor:help">'''Kelly'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Kelly|hi!]]</sup> 07:51, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

::This is a reminder that [[Public image of Sarah Palin]] is a protected article.  Please stop edit-warring disputed material into that article.  You mentioned recently that you're upset about how John Kerry was "swift-boated", and I hope this is not a game of tit-for-tat.  I didn't edit the Kerry article, I have no idea if it was edited poorly, but in any event that was a long time ago, and remedies were available to deal with it.  Thanks.[[User:Anythingyouwant|Anythingyouwant]] ([[User talk:Anythingyouwant|talk]]) 23:58, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

:::Thank you for your helpful little note.  Like you, I've been editing the [[Sarah Palin]] bio since even before McCain picked her, so I'm quite familiar with the multiple controversies that resulted in the probation.  I've never seen an article with such a fierce set of editors who fight tooth and nail against anything that might reflect adversely on the subject.  In this instance, in the BLP/N discussion, there were, believe it or not, those who wanted to keep the subject out of the Palin articles entirely.  When that position became untenable, they wanted a sanitized version that would omit any of the serious bases for criticizing Palin.  They had to abandon that view as well, but that didn't diminish their editor for including every conceivable bit of pro-Palin spin, while objecting to anything (no matter how well sourced) that cut the other way.  Under such circumstances, edit warring is inevitable.

:::I'm guessing that, from your point of view, it's perfectly OK for you to [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Public_image_of_Sarah_Palin&diff=next&oldid=407288901 add] the statement that, when it comes to campaign imagery and rhetoric, there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans.  When I add a properly sourced sentence asserting the contrary opinion, and you remove it, and I re-insert it with an explanation on the talk page, then I'm edit warring and you're not.  By that logic, if I had removed your initial addition, instead of presenting more information to our readers, then any re-insertion of it by you would have been edit warring.  Somehow, though, I doubt that there's any set of circumstances in which you'd admit that ''you're'' edit warring.  Anyway, this particular hypothetical didn't arise, because I don't follow the Palinista philosophy of relentlessly deleting anything that might support a political viewpoint I don't share.  Instead, I simply provided the other side of the story.

:::As for Kerry, you quite misunderstand what I wrote.  Of course I was "upset about how John Kerry was 'swift-boated'", but that was in my capacity as an American citizen.  In my capacity as a Wikipedian, I didn't try to expunge information about the mendacious attacks on Kerry.  They were lies, and deplorable, but Wikipedia describes the world as it is, not as we wish it would be.  I'm just applying that same principle to Palin.  We saw especially in the BLP/N discussion that you and others kept arguing that the criticism of Palin was ill-founded, and that therefore it shouldn't be mentioned inWikipedia.  The example of swift-boating is merely to show that the conclusion doesn't follow from the premise.  Naturally, I picked an ill-founded but important attack on a liberal, in the hope that principled conservatives would thereby have an easier time understanding the general principle.  My optimism was misplaced. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]]<small>&nbsp;[[User talk:JamesMLane|t]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/JamesMLane|c]]</small> 03:38, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Scalia ==

I'm starting to think the Bachmann thing has taken on enough of a life of its own to deserve inclusion, but why not start a discussion at the article talk page?  I do oppose the reaction to it, I could find you five law professors to support, oppose, ignore, waffle, and say that Scalia violated the Treason Act of 1789.  Thanks for your contribution.--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] ([[User talk:Wehwalt|talk]]) 08:41, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

:My edit isn't limited to "the Bachmann thing" -- the whole subject of Scalia's right-wing activism off the bench was omitted from the article, except for his membership in the Federalist Society.  I don't think it should be necessary to have a talk-page discussion over every substantive addition to the article.  I was tempted to simply restore my edit, because you stated no substantive objection to it, but in the interest of averting an edit war I've laid it out on the talk page.  If you want to add a quotation from a prominent law professor who disagrees with Turley, I would of course have no objection.

== You're being discussed at [[WP:AN3]] ==

Hello JamesMLane. See the complaint about your edits at [[WP:AN3#User:JamesMLane reported by User:Jæs (Result: )]]. You may reply there if you wish. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston|talk]]) 18:43, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

:LOL, this is too funny.  Jæs and his or her allies want the [[Public image of Sarah Palin]] article to present only one side of a disputed issue.  They keep deleting the countervailing viewpoint.  Then Jæs accuses me of edit warring, and, contrary to the express instructions at the [[WP:AN/EW]] page, doesn't notify me of the complaint.  Well, I guess that's one way to reduce the danger that unwelcome opposing viewpoints will clutter up a beautiful presentation.

:Props to EdJohnston for doing what Jæs should have done and notifying me.  Perhaps [[WP:AN/EW]] needs more rigorous policing against [[ex parte]] accusations.  That charge against me shouldn't have sat there for 23 hours before I found out about it.

::My apologies for not notifying you, it wasn't an attempt to get anything done "behind your back," but an unintentional oversight on my part.  Nonetheless, article probation requires no further notification before remedies or sanctions are implemented.  That being said, I have no "allies" at the public image article, and have taken no position on whether or not the other content should remain, simply that the Manchin content is irrelevant to the public image of Palin herself.
::That being said, you, frankly, should know better than to repeatedly reinsert content over a number of days, ''especially'' at an article subject to probation.  You can make any number of secondary points, but that fact remains.  <small><span class="nounderlines" style="text-decoration:none; font-family:tahoma;">[[user:jæs|<b style="color:#df1620;">jæs</b>]]&nbsp;[[user talk:jæs|<small style="color:#6b6c6d;">(talk)</small>]]</span></small> 10:17, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
:::I find it hard to accept that a veteran editor, working at one of the most contentious articles at WP, can forget such a simple step as notification.

Thanks to Horologium (the subject of the AN/I who courteously let me know,  I was able to defend myself.

Anyone who wants to see my refutation of the attack, including specific diffs showing the falsehood of the allegations, can find the whole thread [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive149#User:JamesMLane reported by User:Jæs (Result: Protected)|here]].  The denouement was that, in the course of the ongoing discussion on the talk page, I had suggested a compromise, before I even knew that Jæs had taken it to AN.  That compromise met general acceptance and was implemented.  Overall, though, I've largely stopped editing Palin-related articles.  There are just too many Palinistas here who are ferocious in their protection of Palin.  Making the slightest improvement to an article tends to take way too much effort.

JamesMLane, first "pusher" and now "disingenuous". 3's a charm. Please desist with the ad hominems. The rancor over this article is already excessive. Please don't add more to it. [[User:JakeInJoisey|JakeInJoisey]] ([[User talk:JakeInJoisey|talk]]) 14:52, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

:I don't know why you're concerned about my comments, given that, according to one of your sometime allies, I'm one of the editors who should never be taken seriously again, and according to another I'm not a thinking human being.  Turning to the specifics, I didn't say "pusher", which I suppose might have a connotation of a heroin dealer.  You shouldn't put a word in quotation marks unless it's a verbatim quotation.  What I actually said was "people pushing 'vulgar'", which meant "people who are advocating a text that characterizes the subject with the word 'vulgar'."  That should be clear from the context.  (Granted, getting the context is a little daunting given the size of the discussion, but you've been involved enough to know it.)  As for "disingenuous", I didn't say that about you as a person.  It was about the specific statements to which I applied it.  This is a very important distinction -- love men, slay errors, as St. Augustine said.  For example, you argued for the importance of Savage's intent, an argument that on its face seemed to assume that I disagreed with you.  As a corrective, I pointed to the language in my comment that rejected the position you were apparently attacking.  If I misunderstood your comment (your analysis began with an ungrammatical sentence fragment so I had to do some interpreting), I apologize, but on reviewing the thread it still seems to me to be a fair reading of your comment.

== "santorum" consensus – Meta Discussion ==

I've noted your comments related to the "santorum" consensus process appended to your comments on the question. Please consider refactoring them to the newly designated "Meta" discussion above where they are more appropriate, less distractive to the question feedback and can be more properly addressed. I waited several days for you to respond in that section but nothing further was forthcoming so I posted my intent to move on, then did. Thanks for your consideration. [[User:JakeInJoisey|JakeInJoisey]] ([[User talk:JakeInJoisey|talk]]) 15:49, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

:I had commented in that section before you redesignated it as "Meta".  I don't know which of my other comments you're referring to, but I'm happy with them where they are.

:I appreciate your taking the time to attempt to structure the discussion productively.  You need to recognize, however, that not everyone will necessarily find your structure to be the be-all and end-all.  Other people will continue to make comments that disagree with your opinions about what should be in the article, and even comments that don't fit into your ideal organization of the talk page.  For example, while you're redesignating sections, my previous proposal for specific language (toward the bottom of [[Talk:Campaign for "santorum" neologism/Archive 8#More sources|this section]]) has now been archived, even though it received more support than opposition.  Maybe it should be resurrected. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]]<small>&nbsp;[[User talk:JamesMLane|t]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/JamesMLane|c]]</small> 13:31, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

::I appreciate your measured response.
::''You need to recognize, however, that not everyone will necessarily find your structure to be the be-all and end-all.''
::Well recognized already as reflected in "Meta Discussion". I've made a concerted effort (short of canvassing) to foster editor input (including your own) and I think I've been pretty above board in that regard.
::''Other people will continue to make comments that disagree with your opinions about what should be in the article,''
::My attempt to both facilitate and encourage the expression of those opinions is, hopefully, evident.
::''...and even comments that don't fit into your ideal organization of the talk page.''
::Which is why I requested your consideration privately. You are, of course, free to post wherever you desire and to discuss further, if you're so inclined, my suggested process...wherever you desire. However, I'm simply not inclined to comment on that process within the designated "question" space as it's, IMHO, distractive. Should others wish to engage the subject there, that's fine too.
::As to the archiving of prior content, I did nothing, to the best of my knowledge anyway, that could have somehow impacted the archiving parameters already in place. If I did so inadvertently, then my sincere apologies (and I would be most appreciative if you might advise me of just where and how you believe that occured). As to resurrecting archived content that you feel warrants further discussion, just fine by me. [[User:JakeInJoisey|JakeInJoisey]] ([[User talk:JakeInJoisey|talk]]) 17:43, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

== FYI – "santorum" consensus ==

You wrote "Wikipedia should certainly report the right-wing view. We should not, however, adopt it as fact, and we should also report the opposing points of view -- including the view of most economists, that all the debt-reduction provisions being discussed would have contractionary effects at a time when unemployment is already far too high." I've seen the contractionary effect point in the article. Why not propose a new lead or other specific changes? -- [[User:Jo3sampl|Jo3sampl]] ([[User talk:Jo3sampl|talk]]) 19:08, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

There is a discussion at the BLPN about your edits about Roger Ailes.[[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Fox News Channel]] [[User:Niteshift36|Niteshift36]] ([[User talk:Niteshift36|talk]]) 00:48, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

*[[User:JamesMLane]], stop expressing personal opinions on Wikipedia, including articles, talk pages, user pages, etc. In particular, [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Fox_News_Channel&diff=next&oldid=463582594 these opinions] you should keep to yourself. Thank you. [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 05:24, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

::Your request is noted, but I decline to grant it.

::There is no Wikipedia policy or guideline prohibiting users in general from expressing their own personal opinions on talk pages, user pages, etc., where those opinions are relevant to the goal of improving an article.  (Indeed, if you look at [[Talk:Fox News Channel#FDU poll – NPOV DISPUTE|the thread that sparked this]], you'll see quite a few expressions of personal opinion, including those by NiteShift36, my accuser in this matter.)  Wikipedia does permit, indeed encourages, the reporting of facts about personal opinions in articles under certain circumstances, although in general a user's own personal opinions would not qualify.  (See [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Explanation of the neutral point of view]].)  If you believe that my conduct has been so abominable that I should be singled out for a permanent blanket prohibition on the expression of personal opinions, that bolt will have to come from [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests|another quarter]]. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]]<small>&nbsp;[[User talk:JamesMLane|t]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/JamesMLane|c]]</small> 10:57, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
:::Go ahead with an arbitration request. But you are totally misreading just about everything: ''you'' are not ''singled out'' for a ''permanent blanket prohibition on the expression of personal opinions''. None of us have the right to "express" ourselves when that intervenes with our BLP policy, and you called a living person a liar. Wikipedia is not a free-speech zone; God invented Facebook for that purpose. Thank you. [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 16:27, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

::::No, I did ''not'' call a living person a liar.  I said that one particular statement of his was a lie.  There is a huge difference.

::::As for arbitration, you misunderstood me.  I was not intimating that I might bring an arbitration request.  I meant that, if you think I should be restricted in the way stated in your first post here, then ''you'' should bring such a request, because you as a lone admin do not have the authority to ban me from all expressions of personal opinion on Wikipedia.  (Note that your first post stressed "these opinions" (with link) but didn't limit the purported ban to such opinions.)

::::In [[User talk:Drmies#BLP issue|the parallel thread on your talk page]], you've begun to attempt to justify your position by invoking something more substantial than personal preference.  Your argument thus far is unpersuasive -- oops, I meant to say that your argument thus far is unpersuasive ''in my opinion'' -- but I'll pursue it there to keep the discussion in one place.

*Dear JamesMLane, I have reverted your latest addition to my talk page. Your walls of text, in this case a wall with some hypothetical case, is not of interest or concern to me. I have no interest in wikilawyering either; I am sure that you would win a wikilawyering contest with just about anyone. You have seen what I think our BLP policy allows and disallows, and you have seen that another administrator agrees with me. That is all. We are not laying down the law; we are stating our opinion, and I have no interest in pursuing this with you on my talk page anymore. You are free, of course, to test the boundaries and see if your hypotheticals will lead to a block: I truly don't care. I can only give you one piece of advice: don't. That's not a warning, a directive, or an ukase, it's a piece of advice. Feel free to engage me anytime, but please be brief. Thank you. [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 23:39, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

::My now-deleted addition to your talk page (copied below to preserve it) did not, contrary to your statement, deal with "some hypothetical case".  As I thought I made clear, it dealt with actual text currently found in Wikipedia article space concerning three actual named living persons.  Nor is it correct to say that I have seen what you think the BLP policy allows and disallows, because what you have said is inadequate to convey that (at least to my limited intellect), and you have, as is your right, declined to take the time to elucidate your view.

::On your talk page, you asserted that similar questions had come up often and had been answered as per your interpretation.  I wrote, "I would greatly appreciate it if you would refer me to the discussions you have in mind."  You responded with only one example, which was vastly different.  I remain open to being persuaded by rational argument.  Links to such alleged prior actions, provided by you or by anyone else who cares to, would be a start.  The reasoning might or might not persuade me, but I would read it with interest.

::Below, for the benefit of any passersby who are interested, is the (non-hypothetical!) question that you chose to delete from your talk page, except that in this version I've boldfaced the specific question so that it's easier to find in what you call the "wall[] of text":

::OK, here's a comparatively brief question for Drmies, EdJohnston, and anyone else who supports this novel interpretation of BLP.  Right now, in article space, Wikipedia has the following text about a study by the University of Maryland's [[Program on International Policy Attitudes]] (PIPA):

::<blockquote>In response, Fox News frequent guest Ann Coulter characterized the PIPA findings as "misperceptions of pointless liberal factoids" and called it a "hoax poll."[57] Bill O'Reilly called the study "absolute crap."[58] Roger Ailes referred to the study as "an old push poll."[59] James Taranto, editor of OpinionJournal.com, the ''Wall Street Journal'''s online editorial page, called the poll "pure propaganda."[60] (from [[Fox News Channel controversies#Tests of knowledge of Fox viewers]], wikilinks omitted)

::The footnotes provide links for the quoted deprecations but no other support for them.

::Earlier text has described the PIPA study, with a link, so that the footnote (note 55 right now) names the study's authors: Steven Kull, Clay Ramsay, and Evan Lewis.  On [http://www.pipa.org/staff.htm the PIPA website], all three are still listed as staffers and so are presumably still alive.

::The indented passage makes negative and contentious statements about living persons and is not supported by any factual information.  '''Does the indented passage violate BLP as you interpret it?'''

::I'm not posting this on BLP/N because, in my opinion, the indented passage is clearly proper under BLP, but I raise the question because the passage seems to be improper under your version of BLP.

== Recreation of Seamus article ==
Thanks for contacting me.

<big>'''Dispute Resolution – ''Survey Invite'''''</big>
----
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released.

'''Please click [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDBlN2RPQzljTFgySWg1bGFPZkVJcWc6MQ HERE] to participate.'''<br />
Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.

I thought your comment on the Talk page there under "Criticism as a separate article?" to be valid and very timely. I hope you'll continue to keep an eye on this topic. Though I'm new to editing the F-35 article I'm concerned there may be an ongoing effort by the people who've edited it most recently to obscure criticism of this weapons system, as I believe I've experienced with my attempts to include commentary on the recent engine explosion.[[User:BLZebubba|BLZebubba]] ([[User talk:BLZebubba|talk]]) 10:38, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

== BLP Violations ==

Those are BLP violations.  Show me where Crooks and Liars is a reliable source.  Why do you feel the need to trash a living person?  [[User:Arzel|Arzel]] ([[User talk:Arzel|talk]]) 22:11, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

:I must point out to you, O enforcer of rules, that your use of my Talk page to attack me with a non-neutral section heading violates [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#New topics and headings on talk pages|Wikipedia rules]].  As to the substance, I've explained my edits at [[Talk:Sharyl Attkisson]].

:Your post is also an impermissible personal attack in that, instead of assuming good faith, you assume that I "feel the need" to trash poor Ms. Attkisson.  I note that ''she'' has trashed quite a few living people.  Wikipedia properly reports the facts about her opinions, but where others dispute her attacks, NPOV requires that we also report those responses, instead of letting her smears stand uncontested.  Regardless of whether I believe her to be a liar, I don't believe that Wikipedia should say she's a liar.

That source basically caller her a liar and you included language that would indicate she is a liar.  You put in a BLP violation.  But as you say it has been discussed on the talk page, and as has been indicated your source has backtracked as well.  Please be more careful in the future about including sources and language of such claims.  [[User:Arzel|Arzel]] ([[User talk:Arzel|talk]]) 14:05, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

:::Attkisson is calling the DoJ people liars, based in part on what she alleges she was told by a computer "expert" whom she won't name and whose exact qualifications and conclusions we can't review, and you have no problem with that.

:::As for Crooks & Liars, it certainly has a political orientation -- as does the ''New York Post'', which is relied on heavily in the article, and as do many other right-wing outlets that get cited.  Whether C&L is reliable enough to cite depends on the statement.  If C&L asserted that an anonymous source told them that Attkisson had hacked C&L's computers, I'd be dubious about including that.  In this instance, however, C&L was asserting only that the video showed a particular episode of ''DWTS'' and that that episode aired in September.  Those are objective facts that can be checked.  If C&L had been making stuff up to support its political agenda, it could be busted in short order.  Of course, the latest clarification from C&L confirms that its assertions about the content of the video were completely true.  The only inaccuracy was that C&L relied on ''Politico'' for its information about what Attkisson was alleging about the video, and either Attkisson didn't make things clear to ''Politico'' or ''Politico'' bungled its reporting of the video.

:::The latest piece by the left-leaning C&L is like the article I added by the right-leaning Kyle Smith: A notable, non-self-published source has read the book (which I have not) and reports on what's in it.  That's not a situation where the report should be quickly discounted based on the reporter's bias, unless it says something extraordinary or opinionated about the book.  C&L is a good source for clarifying what ''Politico'' omitted -- that Attkisson presented the video as evidence of September 2013 hacking, and that she is therefore alleging a further hacking incident that occurred after her original charge.

::''noon – 8pm (drop-in anytime!) at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Garrett Lobby @ 1071 5th Ave by E 88 St''

In conjunction with Archtober and New York Archives Week, the Guggenheim will host its third Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, #guggathon— to enhance articles related to women in architecture on Wikipedia. The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of Ada Lovelace Day for STEM, and Art+Feminism for art, in a field that, by its nature combines both.

The Guggenheim will work alongside ArchiteXX, the founders of WikiD: Women Wikipedia Design #wikiD, the international education and advocacy program working to increase the number of Wikipedia articles on women in architecture and the built environment. New and experienced editors are welcome.

Can’t join us in New York? Visit our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Women in Architecture|global partnerships page]] to discover an edit-a-thon in a city near you or simply join remotely.

We hope to see you there!--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 19:34, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

The ''WikiArte'' (Wiki Arte y Cultura Latinoamerica) edit-a-thon is a global campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Latin American arts and culture and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia.

Featuring an opening Artists' Panel at 10am, with Sol Aramendi, Sharon Lee De La Cruz, and Marisa Morán Jahn, to be moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, curator at El Museo del Barrio.

The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers.  With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism]].

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Introductory training on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given throughout the edit-a-thon. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

On '''Saturday December 3, 2016''', in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fifth Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, <big>'''#guggathon'''</big>—to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from Greater China. The event will cap off [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Asian Month|Wikipedia Asian Month]], an online campaign dedicated to augmenting Asian content on Wikipedia throughout November.

New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support. Editors are invited to view the exhibition <big>[https://www.guggenheim.org/exhibition/tales-of-our-time Tales of Our Time]</big> following the event.

The Guggenheim aims to raise awareness of the artists featured in the Tales of Our Time exhibition supported by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa, and Art+Feminism.

On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at [https://www.acehotel.com/newyork Ace Hotel New York] hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history.

For this month, and following on the recent [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism]] campaign, we'll focus on building better [[edit-a-thon]] tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community.  Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.

== Help me! ==

{{help me-helped}}
<!-- Ask your question after this line -->
I'm a longtime Wikipedian but I never knew or have forgotten what I need to know to create a new article without messing up article history.

There are two different bands called "Celtic Thunder".  Our article on [[Celtic Thunder]] is about the Irish band, but it has a section -- [[Celtic Thunder#Original Celtic Thunder]] -- about the U.S. band, which is decades older.  I want to create the article [[Celtic Thunder (United States)]], begin it by cutting and pasting the material from that section, and hatnote the [[Celtic Thunder]] article.  How can I cut and paste that material into a new article without losing the edit history?  Obviously I don't want to move the whole article, but it's silly for the material about the U.S. band to remain in the article about the Irish one, and if I just delete it then the history will be gone.

Thanks for any help you can give to thirteen-year newbie.  :)[[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]]<small>&nbsp;[[User talk:JamesMLane|t]]&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/JamesMLane|c]]</small> 03:43, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

== Speedy deletion nomination of Celtic Thunder (United States) ==

Hello JamesMLane,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[Celtic Thunder (United States)]] for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:Celtic Thunder (United States)}}&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span>, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on [[User talk:Kudpung|my talk page]] if you have questions.

[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung กุดผึ้ง]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 10:22, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

== [[Draft:Celtic Thunder (United States)|Celtic Thunder (United States)]] moved to draftspace ==

An article you recently created, [[Draft:Celtic Thunder (United States)|Celtic Thunder (United States)]], does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from [[WP:RS|reliable]], [[WP:IS|independent sources]]. <small>([[WP:42|?]])</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed ([[WP:V|verifiability]] is of [[WP:5|central importance]] on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to [[Wikipedia:Draftspace|draftspace]] (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the [[Wikipedia:AfC|Articles for Creation]] template atop the page. [[User:Kudpung|Kudpung กุดผึ้ง]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 10:34, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

:Please take note of the message I left on your talk page.  The specific situation here is that the new article was created through [[WP:SPLIT]] from existing material.  Laundering it through the draftspace will make it harder to preserve the history.  Instead of my spending my time arguing about this, how about if you give me some time to turn the split material into a proper article?  WP will survive if the article in its present state is in mainspace for a couple days, even if it's eventually deleted.

The '''Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met''' will be the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]]'s second edit-a-thon, hosted on '''Sunday November 19, 2017''' in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2017/Asian Art|Wikipedia Asian Month]] for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of [[Asia]]. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.

*Sunday November 19 ''' [[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/MetAsianMonth|Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met]] ([[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/MetAsianMonth#Participants|RSVP on-wiki]] or [http://www.meetup.com/WikimediaNYC/ at meetup.com])'''.
::''10:30 am – 4:00 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education''
:::''81st Street entrance, [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]], 1000 Fifth Avenue''

Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords. Light snacks, drinks and cake will be provided.

<big>'''We also welcome remote participation for the global online [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2017/Asian Art|Wikipedia Asian Art Month]], running November 1-30.'''</big>

Thanks, and hope to see you at the museum, and/or as part of the online Wikipedia Asian Month contest!--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 16:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

'''[[meta:Translat-a-thon/NYC/2019|Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College]]''' is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on '''Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week''', anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.

New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

The '''Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met''' will be hosted at the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] on '''Saturday November 16, 2019''' in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The museum is excited to work with [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2019|Wikipedia Asian Month]] for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of [[Asia]]. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

A tag has been placed on [[:Steven Donziger]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G4|section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a [[Wikipedia:Deletion debates|deletion discussion]], at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steven R. Donziger]]. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Steven Donziger|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Steven+Donziger|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. <!-- Template:Db-repost-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Jtrainor|Jtrainor]] ([[User talk:Jtrainor|talk]]) 17:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

The Wiknic is taking the place of "WikiWednesday" this month, so we will  also include [[salon (gathering)|salon]] and knowledge-sharing workshop aspects.

Hi Wiki-Yorkers,

We are reaching out as part of our community-building efforts at [[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC|Wikimedia NYC]]. Our regional group is engaged in a strategic planning process to sharpen our strategy for the next three years, and we would like your input. Given your connection to us and your experience with Wikimedia NYC, I would be grateful if you would be willing to share some of your perspectives and insights as we think about our next chapter.

[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScDs0eLjMp4dF16GZBoF9osrR6wm-TTM4zdSuODDAKOvlsbQA/viewform Attached is an anonymous survey], which will remain active until February 28. Responses will go directly to Barretto Consulting and the Wikimedia NYC board will receive responses in aggregate and to identify cross-cutting themes. Please take some time to answer it and share your thoughts with us.

== Commentary ==

By "non-commentary", I meant articles that were not opinion articles. Per [[WP:RSEDITORIAL|WP:RSEditorial]], opinion articles are not reliable sources and thus cannot count towards GNG. [[User:Aaron Liu|<span class="skin-invert" style="color:#0645ad">Aaron Liu</span>]] ([[User talk:Aaron Liu#top|talk]]) 02:07, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
:Re our discussion at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Trump_Always_Chickens_Out the AfD about TACO]: Thanks for your clarification, but I disagree with your application of the [[WP:RSEDITORIAL|WP:RSEditorial]] guideline.  It states that opinion pieces "are rarely reliable for statements of fact...."  An opinion piece ''is'', however, reliable for the fact that the opinion was published.  If an opinion piece states "The fall in Megacorp stock reflected intense TACO trading," that would generally not be cited for the proposition that the stock moved because of Trump.  The piece would, however, be reliable evidence (indeed, incontrovertible evidence) that the author was using the "TACO" meme in analysis.  This would be one example tending to show the notability of the meme.  The weight to be given to the example would depend on the author's notability in the field.
