I like your re-introduction of the Zogby poll, and I think you worded it fairly.  But what's my opinion.  There seems to be a lot of hostility here to that poll.  

My position is that it is best to put the facts out there and let individual readers decide.  I added the link to the raw poll report, and I don't think it is reasonable for anyone to quarrel with that.  

I believe that the questions are indeed pertinent, and there is value in contrasting them with the questions of the ABC and CBS polls.  Also, and very important, the Zogby poll was taken very late when there was increased public awareness.  For example, the ABC poll begins by asking if respondents were paying close attention, and about half of them were not.  Those people would not be expected to have informed opinions.  By the time of the Zogby poll, attention was very high and there had been more time for people to hear about the controversial issues.

== My "irrelevant observation" ==

Well, you unfortunately continue to ignore the fact that at trial Michael's testimony was among the least considered; not as to credibility but as to the potential conflict of interest (shared by the Schindlers) raised by GAL Pearse. Most importantly, Michael's testimony was not remotely the only testimony&mdash;from the order, "''The court took testimony from eighteen witnesses.''" I'm not implying that they all testified the same way. It merely proves that Greer didn't make his decision solely on Michael's say so. Moreover, that people (even millions of them) have doubts is even more irrelevant than my approval, and is most certainly irrational because they (nor I) were not at trial (and in most cases they haven't even read the orders) and did not have the advantage that Greer did, as the order states, "''[t]he court has had the opportunity to hear the witnesses, observe their demeanor, hear inflections, note pregnant pauses, and in all manners assess credibility above and beyond the spoken or typed word.''" [[User:Duckecho|Duckecho]] 18:04, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

The standard for the determination made by Greer was "clear and convincing".

I pulled this from a 
[http://www.newsday.com/news/health/ny-schiavoday3,0,3064172.story?coll=ny-health-headlines Newsday] account from April 15, 2003

:At that trial, Michael testified he and his wife talked about life support when Terri's grandmother was ill. "She said, 'If I ever have to be a burden to anybody, I don't want to live like that,'" he said.

:He also testified the two watched a television documentary about people on life support. "She made the comment to me that she would never want to be like that," he said at the trial. Michael said he told Terri he felt the same way and has since written into his will instructions not to be kept on life support.

:Michael's older brother, Scott Schiavo, and Michael's sister-in-law, Joan Schiavo, who is married to a different brother, also testified Terri made similar comments to them. Scott said he talked with Terri at a luncheon after a funeral for Scott's grandmother, who had spent weeks unconscious on a ventilator.

:"Terri made mention at that conversation," Scott said, "that 'If I ever go like that, just let me go. Don't leave me there. I don't want to be kept alive on a machine.' Pretty much everybody at that table that was in the discussion had made the same comment."

The only testimony supporting Michael Schiavo's recall of Terri's wishes were Joan Schiavo and Scott Schiavo.  Michael's recall (and the others' recall) of Terri's wishes came many years after her collapse -- all with an interest in seeing Michael prevail in the legal conflict with the Schindlers.

These wishes, if true, do not reflect "informed consent" and any contemplation of a condition not at '''the end of life''' -- not shortening natural life by 10, 20, or 30 years.

Unlike a rational state like [[New York]] where the decision to withdraw medical treatment must be dated, signed and witnessed, [[Florida]] permits a judge to determine this by "clear and convincing" evidence.

Then there is Diane Meyer's testimony which Greer found to not be credible -- first on Greer's error that Meyer got the year wrong when it turned out that Greer got the date wrong -- then when the error was pointed out to Greer, he declared that he was going to find Meyer's testimony not credible anyway.  What would be Meyer's interest in lying?

Richard Pearse, one of Terri's guardians ad litem did not find the three Schiavo's 1998 recall of Terri's wishes from ten years prior to be "clear and convincing" especially given the conflict of interest in Michael inheriting Terri's part of the malpractice award.

'''If Terri''' had made the wishes that Michael recalled in 1998 in writing or to people without a financial interest in the outcome, I could accept it.  Of course Greer doesn't answer to me, but to me and millions who have read the testimony, orders, and news accounts, Greer's determination of "clear and convincing" was wrong -- it was not "clear" and not "convincing" that Terri would choose to end her life by dying of thirst, 10, 20, 30 years ahead of its natural end. In fact, many people with living wills, and aware at the end, choose not to implement the death option.  [[User:Patsw|patsw]] 23:12, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

''<u>Vote - I am tiring of mediation, and hope we fix the problem soon: This may work</u>'''

*Generic Updates Message to other [[Talk:Terri_Schiavo/Mediation#Participants|participants]]: <font color=000099>I have imitated Uncle Ed's Q & A method and tried to augment it, and I have declared a tentative (minor) success on the first of seven questions I've presented, thanks to teamwork of many of you in the past, some named in that question. Most of all of other six "Vote on these" items are valid concerns, shared by all, even if we don't agree to the answers. So, I'm asking you all to review and vote on the lingering issues. Also, Wagon has suggested we get both guidelines and examples (role model was the term he used). We all know the rules, but I found one example of a controversial topic that simply shared the facts in a cold, dry method: The [[Slavery]] article neither supports nor opposes slavery: It is "just the facts." Thus, I hope the answers I gave to the questions I proposed were correct and just the facts, without an appearance of POV. '''"Have faith in me," I say (imitating Uncle Ed's similar claim), and I haven't failed yet -the one time I tried: In the http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Abortion and http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Abortion, I brought peace, so I expect my method will work here too.'''

==Polls==
Thanks for the heads-up on the poll about insults.  In return, I'll tell you about a somewhat similar matter.  In the article about [[Ted Kennedy]], some people want to insert material about the rape allegation against Kennedy's nephew.  Kennedy himself wasn't charged with anything.  His nephew was acquitted.  I pointed out that the same reasoning would call for larding the [[George W. Bush]] article with material about his brother's financial malfeasance (and ban from working in the banking industry), his wife's having killed a teenager by running a stop sign, and his daughters being busted (and pleading no contest) for underage drinking.  Some people are so keen to throw mud at Kennedy that they'll happily accept these inserts to the Bush article.  I think all this crap should stay out.  Including notable insults about the ''subject'' of an article is one thing, but this crowd wants to clutter a prominent person's article with negative stuff about the subject's relatives.  It seems to me to involve many of the same evils that concerned you about the insults, in terms of maintaining Wikipedia's overall tone.  If you want to chime in, it's at [[Talk:Ted Kennedy#Quickpoll]] (with a few dozen kilobytes of argument preceding it, if you're feeling really masochistic).

== Famekeeper ==

It appears that you had not previously encountered [[User:Famekeeper|Famekeeper]].  He is, in my opinion, a very problematical editor, but that is only my opinion.  He appears to be trying to present a theory to the effect that [[Pope Pius XI]], [[Pope Pius XII]], [[Ludwig Kaas]], and other Catholic leaders are guilty of complicity in the [[Holocaust]] for supporting the rise of [[Adolf Hitler]].  My own view is that some of those leaders made moral errors that are more obvious in hindsight than were obvious to them at the time in failing to recognize that Nazism was as dangerous as Communism, but at the same time they must be given the benefit of the doubt as to what they knew at the time.  However, I will not try to present my analysis (which is that the situation was tragic and all choices were imperfect) at length here.

In any case, [[User:Famekeeper|Famekeeper]] has a theory that I have seen nowhere else that Pope Pius XI, Pope Pius XII, Ludwig Kaas, etc., "excommunicated themselves against their own souls", based on his interpretation of canon law, and that a canon law proceeding should be initiated against them now.  After filling pages and pages of talk page space with that argument, that is what I told him to '''drop'''.  

[[User:Famekeeper|Famekeeper]] does not know how to summarize, and always goes on at length.  

If you get sufficiently annoyed, you might want to visit [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Famekeeper]].  Then again, you might not.  

I see that [[User:Famekeeper|Famekeeper]] has not seen your user page.  When he does, he will probably accuse you of being an agent of the Vatican trying to censor Wikipedia (as he has one other editor).  [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] 11:36, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes, he has done that. I'm that one editor and I hope I do not draw his attention to this page.

I wanted to thank you for your message on my talk page. Yes, the Theology of B16 is a bit uneven. I was against its creation (this was done to slim down the main B16 article) and my attempt to reform it, as the first post on the talk page says, came to nothing, due to time constraints and pre-occupation with some ''other'' issue.

I also agree with what you posted on P12 regarding the use of talk pages. That in fact was my first and main conflict with FK. He's mostly harmless on the article pages but he uses the Talk pages for his "message.

[[User:Str1977|Str1977]] 20:26, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Just a quick technical note, Pat: please post all your messages in the bottom section designated for this. It's easier for me to find the new message and I can do the pidgeon holing myself. Thanks for your cooperation. [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] 22:20, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Dear Patsw,
the problem with FK is a mixture of both things: his belief in a vast catholic conspiracy and his editing inabilities. He himself said somewhere that he wrote as he thinks, which explains his style quite well. I guess he also jumps to conclusions when listening to stuff and then is "emotionally bound to his opinion" (quote from Dilbert's boss). This is my explanation for the whole conspiracy thing and also for his latest post on Jimbo's page (I mean: the CDU party is "the christian right"? Please!) Also, his complaint about a Ratzinger approach to abortion makes it obvious that he hasn't though the through the issues he posts about or rather that he hasn't managed to integrate all his opinions into a consistent stance. And we already knew his complete unability to see that Communism at one time was a threat.

But I agree with what you posted. [[User:Str1977|Str1977]] 09:03, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

== Offensive article ==

Hi, Pat.  Are you offended by [[Wikipedia:Catholic Church of Wikipedia|this article]] and its [[Wikipedia talk:Catholic Church of Wikipedia|talk page]]? [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Essjay&diff=22197717&oldid=22187920 This edit] drew my attention to it.  [[User:Ann Heneghan|Ann Heneghan]] [[User talk:Ann Heneghan |<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 20:46, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

:Yes.  It's offensive and it's indicative of the "one standard for Catholics and another standard for everyone else" that applies in the Wikipedia. [[User:Patsw|patsw]] 23:20, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

== Venerable ==

I didn't add in "venerable" to the article. A policy decision was taken to no longer use styles in opening paragraphs but instead use style infoboxes. I simply transferred the style that was ''already'' there into the infobox. (Similarly, when policy was to keep styles and a band of users deleted them I reverted the deletions. I never added in the claim, simply stopped it being removed contrary to then policy.) I had nothing to do with adding the claim that he is a ''venerable'' in, simply a technical role vis-a-vis its location on the page.

Pat, I know that you have concerns about some of the "right-to-die" language on the [[Terri Schiavo]] page, but the good work of many editors (some of them quite strange -but still doing "teamwork") --the hard work of many editors' should be acknowledged and rewarded.

I would like you to come on over to the [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Terri_Schiavo]] page and weigh in on the issue.

Thx 4 your feedback on the Schiavo Featured Article candidate page.

Since you asked for my help, please see this here link, reprinted in the boc below:

<table cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=2 border=3><td bgcolor=ffffee>
My reasons for including that fact there is a ''debate'' in the introduction and excluding a specific mention of Cornwell's POV are given in the [[Talk:Pope Pius XII#Cornwell in the introduction]] so I am not going to repeat what I wrote there again. There's plenty of opportunity to go into the both sides of the debate in detail in the body of the article. [[User:Patsw|patsw]] 22:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

:Pat, the introduction looks ok, in its current state, without mention of Cornwell. This sentence, '''"His leadership of the Church during the period of World War II is the subject of continued discussion, especially in light of his tenure as Papal Nuncio to Germany and later as Vatican Secretary of State,"''' seems to indicate other points of view on the subject and leaves details for later. That's just my take, but the "who" of the other views is not so important as is the "what," and that is mentioned, so I think it's OK. That's just my view.--[[User:GordonWattsDotCom|GordonWattsDotCom]] 10:32, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

*Responding to RFC: I'm inclined to agree with excluding this from the introduction. At most I would say that controversy exists, and go into it further down in the article. Anything other than a passing mention unbalances the introduction. --[[User:Jpgordon|jpgordon]][[User talk:Jpgordon|&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710;]] 01:14, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback.  I buy into the Wikipedia principle of first assuming good faith.  The Museum incident is worth including because it is something that Rudy could have ignored entirely and chose not to.  It gives an insight into something of a contradiction about him: on one hand he is pro-choice and admitted to infidelity but on the other hand, he picked this hill in on Empire Blvd. in Brooklyn to fight this battle.

<font color=000099>'''''From my page, you wrote, and I replied:'''''</font>"So, as I see the article and talk page now after some time elapsed, I see stuff that was negotiated in good faith during March through June was simply added back or removed during its multiple reorganizations.

Yet Terri had an eating disorder ''so extreme that it killed her'' according to this speculation.  Since FuelWagon has no response based on facts and reason, he baited me with the speculation that Terri was the victim of an assault by Michael.  According to FW, it wasn't his intent to bait me, he's just got a unique way of showing the civility he demands from other editors.

Dear Pat, you posted on my talk page:

:The Catholic Church teaches that in this sacrament the bread is no longer bread in substance, but retains the appearance of bread. It is not symbolically the Body of Christ, but is in reality the Body of Christ.

I agree completely. Both that the Church teaches this and that it is true. Maybe you have confused me with Proto, who brough up "bread" and "symbol" again. If you indeed meant me: I don't have a problem with appearance, but I think form is in line with Catholic teaching as well, as in "sub utraque forma".

Dear Pat,
Famekeeper's gone a while and I don't miss him. You were involved with him and have wondered about his language. Well, I asked a friend of mine, who's into computers and stuff, about his IP and he said, that FK posted from Dublin, Ireland. He also thought that his language as well as his insistence on being a native speaker of English remings of Indians (meaning from the subcontinent) he was talking about. This is also confirmed by some sections from FK's talk page:

Actually, I did attempt to verify it, and found many blogs with much the same material, and one news source.  While this does not meet my standards of corroboration, it may meet others'.  It matters more to me and was the reason for my decision to roll back - not ''delete'', as you say; one deletes a page or an image, which does require discussion and is more work to reverse - to reverse a rollback like this is relatively simple, especially if done immediately - the reason was that this edit

My suggestions are to drop the "Jewish quotes" section, remove or qualify the Zolli story, add a paragraph or two describing the charges of Carroll and Willis and the others in some detail (with rebuttal from Dahlin, if you want), and remove the odd Syndney Zion quote, perhaps replacing it from the numbers from the sympathetic review of Pius XII and the Second World War: According to the Archives of the Vatican by Pierre Blet and Lawrence J.

== re: [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] ==

Yah, I shouldn't have bothered to bait them. I call a spade a spade, plain and simple. There is nothing unencyclopedic about calling the hijackers terrorists as that description is indeed the best fit for their actions. I'm not going to get into any comparative arguments either such as bombing of Dresden is no better or worse than 9/11. As I quoted from the UN website, the term terrorism is related to a peacetime war crime, and a war crime also has a better, more agreed upon definition. If the U.S. is also guilty of atrocities, then they fall under the definition of war crime, not terrorism. I think we're on the same page, and a few others are also, albeit less actively. If it keeps up, I may draw up an RfC on the issue, but that tends to become a long arduous affair as you know. Nice meeting you.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 20:50, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

== Hitler's Pope ==

The article was, to the best of my knowledge, created by Famekeeper, and was meant to present Cornwell's case against Pius XII.  I thought that Cornwell's case was entitled to be presented as POV.  Famekeeper was and is unable to distinguish between POV and NPOV.  He thinks that once a responsible scholar agrees with Famekeeper, Famekeeper can state the scholar's views as fact rather than as POV.  I had been planning to revise the article to provide a more accurate summary of what Cornwell actually said.  I was originally trying to work WITH Famekeeper to help him present a critical view of Pius XII objectively.  I eventually discovered that one cannot work with Famekeeper.  I think that the article should exist, but only about the book.  I no longer feel like trying to write the article.  [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] 17:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I request you to ascertain, as does this third party, that I actually wish to allow for the entirety of relevant information. I consider the purely ecclesiastical part of this Pope, as with the previous, to be extremely relevant. I refer to the Social teachings of Pius X1, which come at the moment of the political relevance, as much as to the succeeding spiritual position of Pius XII. I am well aware that neither are sufficiently represented and would encourage you or anyone to do all of it justice. I myself am not prepared to exclude anything relevant, nor to accept arbitrary exclusions either way - which is the subject of the ''article resolution template''.

== Rush Limbaugh ==
Late October 2005, Rush Limbaugh discussed a new reality show on BBC called Bring Your Husband to Heel. The host is dog trainer Annie Clayton. She teaches wives how to train their husbands. The show is obviously contraversial and odd, but even more odd were tha comments Rush made while discussing te reality program. "That Annie Clayton babe can go down to Abu Ghrabib, and she can bring her leesh with her". Rush has already gotten in trouble for belittling the abuse of Abu Ghrabib prisoners, but this time he sexualized it.

This is not the first time Rush Limbaugh has introduced S/m into his show. On a broadcast that occured in 2003 or 2004, he discussed how boys and girls ought to be taught in different classrooms. This came after Rush was offended by a comment from a feminist who claimed that girls and boys ought to be taught together because it would allow girls to learn how to lead men. He  then recounted a story involving his then wife, Marta. He mentioned that she came to his workplace and ordered him to take her shopping. When he said later, she then screamed her head off at him, telling him to take her shopping now. Rush then sheepishly reminded his audience that women are already in charge. 

Of course, by itself this story is meaningless. But considering that Rush has a history of dropping hints at a s'm lifestyle, one must draw conclusions about his sexuality.
 

Okay, I agree that the last part is speculative. But I dare you to prove to me that the first part- about Rush saying he wished that dog trainer would go to abu ghrabib-- didnt happen. I know it happened. It occured in the last ten minutes on August 19, 2005. On a Friday. I was wrong about ti being in late October. But I am sure it was on the 19th of august.

== Stub template for antipopes ==

Hi, Pat. I'm looking for advice about the problem of labelling a stub concerning an antipope. The antipope stub template was deleted, even though I wouldn't exactly say that there was consensus to delete. (See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Stub_types_for_deletion&oldid=35063402#.7B.7BAnti-Pope-stub.7D.7D here] for the last evidence of comments before that subject was removed from [[WP:SFD]].) I think the reason behind the deletion was that you shouldn't have a special template for a stub unless it's likely that you'll have at least sixty stubs tagged with it.
 
[[User:Chooserr|Chooserr]], who created the antipope stub template, has very strong opinions, and is a bit inclined to get himself into trouble as a result. He has been blocked a few times for edit warring over AD and CE: he has a strong preference for AD. 
 
As far as I know, the general {{tl|stub}} template is really for inexperienced Wikipedians who don't know how to find an appropriate template.  If possible, other users should check the pages in the general stub category, and relabel the stubs as being connected with linguistics, Ancient Rome, Spanish Literature or whatever. Then experts in a particular field can can easily find stubs that belong to their field of expertise, if they feel inclined to help expanding these articles.

Anyway, Chooserr began to revert lots of antipope articles that had the {{tl|pope-stub}} on them.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antipope_Theodoric&diff=prev&oldid=35079359] Since the antipope stub has been deleted, he just changed them back to the general stub templates. He has been asked, very nicely, to stop. I can understand how he feels &mdash; after all, it would be a bit crazy to write a short article about [[Lambert Simnel]] and put at the end, "This article about a British [[monarch]] is a [[Wikipedia:stub|stub]]. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it."
 
I think reverting back to {{tl|stub}} is a no-no, as that category is meant to be kept as empty as possible. There are also {{tl|reli-bio-stub}} and {{tl|RC-stub}}, of course, and I think it's okay to have two stub templates at the bottom of a stub article, but I don't think there should be more.

I've been wondering about editing the {{tl|pope-stub}} so that it could be used for antipopes without making any kind of POV statement. It currently reads as follows:

::[[image:Vatican coa.png|30px|Vatican Coat of Arms]]''This biography of a [[pope|Pope]] is a [[Wikipedia:Perfect stub article|stub]]. You can [[Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub|help]] Wikipedia by expanding it]''.

I thought of:

#This article about the [[papacy]] is a [[Wikipedia:stub|stub]]. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
#This [[papacy]]-related article is a [[Wikipedia:stub|stub]]. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
#This article about a [[pope]] or a claimant to the papacy is a [[Wikipedia:stub|stub]]. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
#This article about a [[pope]] or a claimant to the papal throne is a [[Wikipedia:stub|stub]]. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

What do you think? I'm not sure that an article about an antipope is really about the papacy, although in a broad, loose sense, I suppose it is. The wording "papacy-related" sounds a little awkward, but not too bad, and is probably more accurate. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks.

Hello there. Sorry to butt in. AnnH, everything you have said above about stubs (and their desired usage) is spot on. With regards to this particular stub type, it was meant to be a rescope of {{tl|Pope-stub}} rather than an all-out deletion of {{tl|Anti-Pope-stub}}. I was going to add ''"and antipopes"'' to both {{tl|pope-stub}} and [[:Category:Pope stubs]] (as you are more or less trying to do now, here) but the truth of the matter is, I was distracted by real-world concerns and forgot to make this final change. I would do it today, but I'm wary of doing so for fear of being further accused of unilateral actions. If you like, I can make the change now. Otherwise I'll leave the matter in your capable collective hands. --[[User:TheParanoidOne|TheParanoidOne]] 19:05, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Pat. If you get a minute, could you have a look at a message on my talk page from [[User:GTBacchus|GTBacchus]] (in the section "Stub template for anti-pope") and make a comment either there or on his talk page. Although I voted to keep the anti-pope template, I wouldn't have any objection to using the Pope one, ''if the wording is changed.'' If we had something like "or a claimant to the papacy", it wouldn't bother me that the actual ''template'' had the title {{tl|pope-stub}}.

I'd like to get some agreement on this as soon as possible, as I don't want people tagging with the wrong template, and having to retag later when the template is deleted. Thanks. [[User:Musical Linguist|AnnH]] [[User talk:Musical Linguist|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 11:53, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

== Rudy Giuliani ==

It is not "unverified" that Mayor Giuliani is a member of the [[Trilateral Commission]] (TC). That article includes a membership list - the very same list publicly available from the TC itself. There is a link on TC's website, www.trilateral.org, that lets anyone request a free copy of a membership list, which they email to the requester as a MS Word file a couple of days later. I obtained the list this way, and Mayor Giuliani's name was right there. Thus, the fact is verified. Try it yourself! =) [[User:65.28.2.172|65.28.2.172]] 01:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

==Wikilinking Years==
If you go to [[Special:Preferences|my preferences]] and the "Date and time" tab, that's where users can choose their date format preference.  Americans generally prefer "January 15, 2001", but the British, Canadians, ... usually prefer "15 January 2001".  By wikilinking both the the date and year, as [[January 15]], [[2001]], the date preferences will display in accordance to user preferences.  Without the wikilinks, it will display January 15, 2001, no matter what the user preferences. -[[User:AudeVivere|Aude]] (<small>[[User_talk:AudeVivere|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/AudeVivere|contribs]]</small>) 19:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

==WikiProject Catholicism==

Hi Patrick. Would you be interested in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Catholicism 101#Policy_and_Membership|WikiProject Catholicism]] ? --[[User:WikiCats|WikiCats]] 04:35, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

== Cardinal Spellman ==

Hi, Patrick.  I saw your edits to [[Francis Cardinal Spellman]]'s article.  While I'm glad the style has been improved thorugh your efforts, I'm disappointed that you removed the apostolic succession chart.  I agree with what you said: that it is reproduced at catholic-hierarchy.org.  But does that disqualify it from inclusion? Much of what is on Wikipedia can be found elsewhere on-line, but gathering it all at one source makes such information greater than the sum of its parts, wouldn't you say?  And part of the reason I copied over that information was that I wish, eventually, to also show the apostlic succession of schismatics (e.g., [[Old Catholic]]s, [[Anglican]]s, [[Palmarian Catholic Church|Palmarian]]s) and have it link together with regular ordinations of Roman Catholic bishops.  Even though the Church considers some of their ordinations irregular (''see [[Apostolicae Curae]]''), the succession is important for historical purposes.

So, before I restore it, do you have any objections? [[User:Coemgenus|Coemgenus]] 13:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

== Is "pull it" an industry term? ==

The closest thing I could find to a citation on this was a comment on a forum from someone in the industry responding specifically to that allegation:[http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LaSVCQRFpEeE8BbDBXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTB2cXVjNTM5BGNvbG8DdwRsA1dTMQRwb3MDMQRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZAM-/SIG=12dejs9ic/EXP=1146852880/**http%3a//www.demolitionx.com/forum/topic.asp%3fTOPIC_ID=787]

''"I've had enough. The term "pull it" means pull it over. The term isn't used much today, because of the modern equipment used by demolition contractors. Fifty years ago wrecking contractors were less affluent, they depended more on ingenuity in the work place than on equipment. This was especially true when large buildings were taken down with hand labor. In those situations most interior and exterior walls had to be cabled and "pulled" in onto floors. Before you "pulled" the walls you would place old truck tires on the floor to cushion the shook and maintain the integrity of the floor your working on.''
''In those days wrecking contractors would often attach cables to trucks or a dozer to collapse a section of a building or whole buildings. With advent of backhoes, skid loaders you don't have the need for cabling that you did in those days"''

Beyond that I don't think you'll find much, because the Conspiracy Theorists are just "making s*** up." Technically I don't think you really need a citation beyond what is there though; the important part is that the claim was made. 

And besides, the sillyness of the argument kind of speaks for itself. (A man who is not a demolitions expert makes a [[Freudian slip]] on camera where he uses demolitions jargon?)--[[User:DCAnderson|DCAnderson]] 18:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

If you can recall where you saw the pentacle as a symbol of Christ, please let me know. [[User:Patsw|patsw]] 18:33, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

: I'll see if I can find it. I found the text "Christians once commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus" in the [[pentagram]] article. Also from [[Symbols and symbolism in Christian demonology]] "The pentagram, which was at one stage a Christian symbol denoting the five wounds of Christ". After doing som googling I also found ''"There are many connections between the pentagram and Christianity. Before the cross, it was a preferred emblem to adorn the jewelry and amulets of early Christians (followed by an 'x' or a phoenix). The pentagram was associated with the five wounds of Christ"''[http://altreligion.about.com/library/weekly/aa100102a.htm] // [[User:Liftarn|Liftarn]]

In the morning, there are exciting plans for a behind-the-scenes guided tour of the [[American Museum of Natural History]].

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to discussing [[:meta:Wikimedia New York City]] issues (see the [[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/November 3, 2007/Minutes|last meeting's minutes]]).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Stockticker.gif==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Stockticker.gif]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:No fair -->[[User:BetacommandBot|BetacommandBot]] ([[User talk:BetacommandBot|talk]]) 06:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

==New mailing list==
There has been a mailing list created for Wikipedians in the [[New York metropolitan area]] (list: [[mail:wikimedia_nyc|Wikimedia NYC]]).  Please consider joining it!

==House of the Virgin Mary==
An assassinated priest was added to the [[House of the Virgin Mary]]. I didn't understand the resson for this. If this was not an accident, could you re-add it with an edit summary and also a reason after the "see also" entry. e.g. "priest who served at house 1994-1997" or whatever. He would need some '''really''' strong connection I would think. Thanks. [[User:Student7|Student7]] ([[User talk:Student7|talk]]) 14:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

==Editing Brooklyn Prep==
Pat,

If you're the person who wrote the Prep site--believe me, I have a lot of problems with it. You deleted a distinguished scientist from noted alumni, yet I have to look at Kenny Charles, a dumb jock. Your judgment is obviously poor.


re Sliwa: Sliwa is a narcissist who spends his entire waking hours seeking approval. His organization, the Guardian Angels, is a failure, run by relatives and other silly lackeys. He now works as a host of a low-IQ AM station in NY. And you want to honor this person?

Pleez!  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jimclyne|Jimclyne]] ([[User talk:Jimclyne|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jimclyne|contribs]]) 14:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

* [[Curtis Sliwa]] and [[Ken Charles]] have been honored by the Brooklyn Prep Alumni Association and have articles in the Wikipedia.  Deleting them from the article is not a legitimate content dispute.  If you can persuade other Wikipedia editors to the contrary, I will be listening.

* [[Basil Worgul]] who does not have an article in the Wikipedia had an obituary in the [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/06/nyregion/06worgul.html New York Times] which does not mention his high school.  A google search turned up no link between him and Brooklyn Prep.  If there is a verifiable connection, he should be included in the article.

:Thanks for the reply.
::''Whom does the Wikipedia serve? The buffs/fanboys/afficinados, or the community of Wikipedia, or the whole Internet-connected universe?''
:None of these articles represent Wikipedia at its best. As I noted, in a project of over 1,400 articles, only one has reached "Good Article" status, and none have been "featured". For some reason, this project doesn't seem to attract great editors. Many of those it ''does'' attract are too immersed in the rail-buff world to get a sense of perspective. But it should be noted that many Wikipedia projects suffer from a version of this disease. In a community of volunteers, you are limited by what people want to show up and work on.

== Thanks for remaining polite ==

Patrick (if I may),

Obviously we had a strong disagreement about [[Bernard Madoff]].  For a while I didn't understand that there were any facts, RS's, behind what you were saying.  My apologies.  Also fairly obviously, I take the presumption of innocence pretty seriously - even if it doesn't align with my personal view of the subject - my personal view is irrelevant.  BTW, I'll suggest that you not contact any reporters - not for wikipedia at least.  It would be OR.

Mostly I wanted to say that with a strong disagreement like this, it is unusual for both parties to remain so polite.  I hope my actions fit with this sentence, and I know yours do - even if I was getting a bit frustrated at times.  Thanks again.

I'm also pleased that I stopped by your page, since I saw the procedure notice on the category Madoff fraud.  We'll probably disagree on this, but not so strongly I hope.

== Regarding the USNS Impeccable ==

Until a consensus has been met, I would ask you to stop reverting the edits of multiple editors back several hours to add a single word, ''harass''.

::I could ask you to do the same. Since, as you said, it is disputed, you could leave the page as is, considering "incident" is not under question. It's a neutral word, which is what it should be when there are disputes. And i offered you a source that says that China ''does'' deny that it was harassment. So may or may not have been accurate then, and it remains as such.

Hi Patsw,

Re. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Divine_Mercy_(Adolf_Hyla_painting)2007-08-16.jpg File:Divine Mercy (Adolf Hyla painting)2007-08-16.jpg]

No I didn't think of asking the nuns. To be honest, I didn't know where to begin. But I'll try follow your route. Thanks for the tip.--[[User:Trounce|Trounce]] ([[User talk:Trounce|talk]]) 15:30, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

:Hi Patsw. I got an email back from the Copyright Administrator with the Marians and she said that the Sisters of Mercy in Poland hold the copyright on the image and that they [the Marians] have been already asked to sign papers for Wikipedia to use the image but they refused. She said "It opens up a big can of worms that threatens our copyrighted material" which is a fair enough point.--[[User:Trounce|Trounce]] ([[User talk:Trounce|talk]]) 09:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

::Pastw. Just to clarify your point: "''that's the end of story as far as the Wikipedia is concerned.''" Well its the end of the story as far as [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Fair_use Wikimedia Commons is concerned.] But we are still let use the image as it is on Wikipedia under [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|Fair Use]] terms.--[[User:Trounce|Trounce]] ([[User talk:Trounce|talk]]) 20:11, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

== Barbequed cat ==

Patrick, I removed the paragraph you'd added to [[2009_Hudson_River_mid-air_collision]] regarding the content of the controller's phone conversation.  I don't doubt that you considered it relevant, I am not accusing you of vandalism - but I do feel that the prior (remaining) paragraph covers the fact that there was an improper conversation, and that it appeared to not be a causal factor in the crash.  The information you added, IMO, put a POV tilt on the article.  I hope you understand my perspective on this.

==NC rewrite==
I have a strong feeling that policy change is certain persons motivation behind what is happening. There's a lot more than grammar and syntax being changed - and the way it is being done leaves most people uncertain what the original policy even was, and which changes are actually agreed even by the editors who happen to be on the page, let alone in the wider community. That's why I think substantial dissatisfaction with what emerges from this "process" needs to be taken up in a community-wide test of opinion.

Yessir, I'm thinking about doing it in the next few days. There's no clear concensus on the talk page, so I think it would be valuable.

::''Proposal: Change [[WP:N|the article]]'s second sentence from "Article topics '''are required to''' be notable" to "Article topics '''should''' be notable.''
::I proposed this change [[Wikipedia_talk:Notability#Is notability "required"?|above]], provoking much debate but no concensus. Newcomers should read the argument in full, but I will [[WP:BOLD|boldly]] summarize the main arguments as a brief orientation. '''Supporters''' have argued that "require" is inappropriate for a guideline. It is not used once in the introduction of the 8 [[Wikipedia:List_of_guidelines#Content|other content guidelines]] while "should" often is. Notability is not truly "required" since non-notable articles are sometimes kept. '''Opposing''' editors have argued that "required" reflects notability's ''de facto'' status, and it is is indeed required by [[WP:DEL]]. A wording change would weaken notability, disrupt AfD, and result in poor articles being kept. The entire proposal is [[wikilawyering]]. '''Both''' sides debated the subjectivity of notability and several editors cast votes based on their personal opinion of whether notability should be strengthened or weakened. - [[User:Draeco|Draeco]] ([[User talk:Draeco|talk]]) 07:31, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|AfD]] nomination of [[Jargon of The Rush Limbaugh Show]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|left|48px|]]An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for [[Wikipedia:Deletion process|deletion]]. The nominated article is [[Jargon of The Rush Limbaugh Show]]. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also [[Wikipedia:Notability]] and "[[WP:NOT|What Wikipedia is not]]").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jargon of The Rush Limbaugh Show (4th nomination)]]. Please be sure to [[WP:SIG|sign your comments]] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).

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

'''Please note:''' This is an automatic notification by a [[WP:BOT|bot]]. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --[[User:Erwin85Bot|Erwin85Bot]] ([[User talk:Erwin85Bot|talk]]) 01:12, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

== Editor's discretion re: WP:V ==

You left me a message disusing: "an editing dispute where A wants the content in and B wants the content out, not merely to add a template. B appears to hold the upper hand here because WP:V allows a challenge to be followed by a deletion, entirely at B's sole discretion."  That is correct... But A can reverse that "upper hand" very easily... by simply ''providing a source''.  It does not really matter if B deletes the material if all A has to do is return it with a citation.  It may be annoying to have to source petty things, but annoyance is a small price to pay when you consider what could happen if we ''didn't'' have this provision.

Hi, Patrick, I don't think we've ever encountered each other before but I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your rationale at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Law & Order: Los Angeles episodes]]. As an infrequent contributor to AfD and the person who actually nominated the article for deletion, I appreciate that someone took the time to tell me why they believed I was wrong based on WP policy. Too often, rationales on AfD are more to the tune of those below yours: based on [[Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid|faulty arguments]] not having anything to do with Wikipedia policy. If I'm wrong and the article is kept, I don't mind it so much when an editor takes the time to give a valid response as you did, and it gives me hope for the future of Wikipedia.

== gazetteer/wp:not ==

There are two related questions that you are trying to ask here but you're trying to treat them as one that makes it difficult to assess what venue it is.

The first question is "What elements of a gazetteer does WP include?". This should be focused on the type of data we would pull from a gazetteer, like lat/long, area, elevation, climate/weather, etc, and whether it is appropriate to include them or not.  Now, normally, WP:NOT would seem like the right place, but that page is set to give a ''negative'' answer for most questions it covers, so trying to wedge in "WP should include these elements..." would make it highly confusing to readers and possibly lead to material deletion.  If we flipped it around and defined "What elements of a gazetteer should WP not include?" then it would fit into WP:NOT, but I believe that it would be nearly impossible to find elements of gazetteers that we don't already include in the work commonly. So unless there's something that exists in gazetteers that we know never to include, WP:NOT is the wrong place for this question.  There really should be an [[WP:IS]] to describe what "WP is" and outline what we will nearly always include per the elements of encyclopedias, almanacs and gazetteers, but we don't have one yet.  This may be a place to start.

The second question is "When do we create articles on human settlements?" This question exists regardless of the answer to the above. The argument is that straight-up material from a gazetteer - which we may include but not required to - is possibly not enough to write a good encyclopedia article about and likely should be merged/deleted.  This is obviously a notability question, and that means we're in guideline territory - WP:NOT is certainly not the right place.  --[[User:Masem|M<span style="font-size:x-small;">ASEM</span>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 15:13, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to [[:meta:Wikimedia New York City]] activities, review the recent '''''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Wiki-Conference|Wiki-Conference NYC 2010]]''''', plan for the next stages of projects like '''''[http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Ambassador_Program Wikipedia Ambassador Program]''''' and '''''[[Wikipedia:Academy|Wikipedia Academy]]''''', and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the [[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/May 2010#Agenda|May meeting's minutes]]).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

Our next '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC|Wikipedia NYC Meetup]]''' is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at [[Brooklyn Museum]] during their awesome [http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/visit/first_saturdays.php First Saturdays] program, starting at 5 PM.

A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be '[http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/seductive_subversion/ Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968]', and the accompanying "[http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/seductive_subversion/wiki/ WikiPop]" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.

This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!

<big>'''Welcome to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism|WikiProject Conservatism]]!'''</big>

We are a growing community of editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles related to [[conservatism]]. Here's how you can get involved:

* Many important discussions take place on the project's [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism|main discussion page]]; it is highly recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism|action=watch}} watchlist it].
* Check the [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism|Recent changes]] for vandalism and violations of the [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view policy]].
* Add the project banner {{tl|WikiProject Conservatism}} to [[conservatism]]-related articles, and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Conservatism/Help#Assessment|assess]] them as well.
* Join fellow members in editing our project-wide [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism/Collab|article collaboration]] (the current one is {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism/Collab/Current}}).
* Cleanup some of the articles [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListingByCat.php?project=Conservatism listed for cleanup].
* Check out the [[WP:WikiProject Conservatism/to do|to do list]] and complete some of the tasks.

If you have any questions, feel free to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism|ask on the talk page]], and we will be happy to help you.

<small>By [[user:Lionelt|Lionelt]]<br><br></small>
Welcome to the inaugural issue of ''The Right Stuff'', the newsletter of [[WP:RIGHT|WikiProject Conservatism]]. The Project has developed at a breakneck speed since it was created on February 12, 2011 with the edit summary, "Let's roll!" With over 50 members the need for a project newsletter is enormous. With over 3000 articles to watch, an active talk page and numerous critical discussions spread over various noticeboards, it has become increasingly difficult to manage the information overload. The goal of ''The Right Stuff'' is to help you keep up with the changing landscape. 

''The Right Stuff'' is a newsletter consisting of original reporting. Writers will use a [[byline]] to "sign" their contributions. Just as with ''[[WP:Wikipedia Signpost/About|The Signpost]]'', "guidelines such as '[[WP:OWN|no ownership of articles]]', and particularly '[[WP:OR|no original research]]', will not necessarily apply."

WikiProject Conservatism has a bright future ahead: this newsletter will allow us tell the story. All that's left to say is: "Let's roll!"

A new style guide to help standardize editing was rolled out. It focuses on concepts, people and organizations from a conservatism perspective. The guide features detailed article layouts for several types of articles. You can help improve it [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism/Style guide|here]]. The Project's Article Collaboration currently has two nominations, but they don't appear to be generating much interest. You can get involved with the Collaboration [[WP:RIGHT/C|here]]. 

I am pleased to report that we have two new members: [[user:Rjensen|Rjensen]] and [[user:Soonersfan168|Soonersfan168]]. Rjensen is a professional historian and has access to [[JSTOR]].

The latest Featured Article is [[Richard Nixon]]. Our congratulations to [[user:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] for a job well done.  The article with the most page views was [[Rick Perry]] with 887,389 views, not surprising considering he announced he was running for president on August 11th. Follwing Perry were [[Michele Bachmann]] and [[Tea Party movement]]. The Project was ranked 75th based on total edits, which is up from 105th in July. The article with the most edits was [[Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2012]] with 374 edits. An RFC regarding candidate inclusion criteria generated much interest on the talk page.

''The Right Stuff'' caught up with [[user:Dank|Dank]], the recently elected Lead Coordinator of  [[WP:MILHIST|WikiProject Military History]]. MILHIST is considered by many to be one of the most successful projects in the English Wikipedia. 

'''Q: Tell us a little about yourself.'''<br>
'''A''': I'm Dan, a Wikipedian since 2007, from North Carolina. I started out with an interest in history, robotics, style guidelines, and copyediting.  These days, I'm the lead coordinator for the Military History Project and a reviewer of Featured Article Candidates.  I've been an administrator and maintained [[WP:Update]], a summary of policy changes, since 2008.

'''Q: What is your experience with WikiProjects?'''<br>
'''A''': I guess I'm most familiar with [[WP:MILHIST]] and [[WP:SHIPS]], and I'm trying to get up to speed at  [[WP:AVIATION]].  I've probably talked with members of most of the wikiprojects at one time or another.

'''Q: What makes a WikiProject successful?'''<br>
'''A''': A lot of occasional contributors who think of the project as fun rather than work, a fair number of people willing to write or review articles, a small core of like-minded people who are dedicated to building and maintaining the project, and access to at least a few people who are familiar with reviewing standards and with Wikipedia policies and guidelines.

'''Q: Do you have any tips for increasing membership?'''<br>
'''A''': Aim for a consistent, helpful and professional image.  Let people know what the project is doing and what they could be doing, but don't push.

If you've got a core group interested in building a wikiproject, it helps if they do more listening than talking at first ... find out what people are trying to do, and offer them help with whatever it is.  Some wikiprojects build membership by helping people get articles through the review processes.

The arbitration request submitted by [[user:Steven Zhang|Steven Zhang]] moved into its second month. The case, which evaluates user conduct, arose from contentious discussions regarding the naming of the [[Pro-life]] and [[Pro-choice]] articles, and a related issue pertaining to the inclusion of "death" in the lede of [[Abortion]]. A number of members are involved. On the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Evidence|Evidence]] page [[user:ArtifexMayhem|ArtifexMahem]] posted a table indicating that [[user:DMSBel|DMSBel]] made the most edits to the Abortion article. DMSBel has announced their semi-retirement. Fact finding regarding individual editor behavior has begun in earnest on the[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Workshop|Workshop]] page.

Last month it was [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_76#Dispute_resolution_noticeboard_-_Stage_2|decided]] that due to the success of the new [[WP:DRN|Dispute Resolution Noticeboard]] the [[WP:CNB|Content Noticeboard]] would be shut down.

Was your article deleted in spite of your best efforts to save it? You should consider having a copy [[WP:REFUND|restored]] to the [[WP:RIGHT/I|Incubator]] where project members can help improve it. Upon meeting content criteria, articles are graduated to mainspace. The Incubator is also ideal for collaborating on new article drafts. [[wp:WikiProject Conservatism/Incubator/Star Parker|Star Parker]] is the first addition to the incubator. The article was deleted per WP:POLITICIAN.

On October 7, WikiProject Conservatism was [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Conservatism|nominated for deletion]] by member [[user:Binksternet|Binksternet]]. He based his rationale on what he described as an undefinable scope, stating that the project is "at its root undesirable". Of the 40 participants in the discussion, some agreed that the scope was problematic; however, they felt it did not justify deletion of the project. A number of participants suggested moving the project to "WikiProject American conservatism". The overwhelming sentiment was expressed by [[user:Guerillero|Guerillero]] who wrote: "A project is a group of people. This particular group does great work in their topic area[,] why prevent them from doing this[?]" In the end there was negligible opposition to the project and the result of the discussion was "Keep". The proceedings of the deletion discussion  were picked up by ''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2011-10-17/News and notes|The Signpost]]'', calling the unfolding drama "the first MfD of its kind". ''The Signpost'' observed that attempting to delete an active project was unprecedented. The story itself became a source of controversy which played out at the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2011-10-17/News and notes#Wikiproject Conservatism MfD|Discuss This Story]] section, and also at the {{Plainlink|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJorgenev&action=historysubmit&diff=456469755&oldid=456159509|name=author's talk page}}. 

Two days after the project was nominated, the [[P:RIGHT|Conservatism Portal]] was also [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Conservatism|nominated for deletion]] as "too US-biased". There was no support for deletion amongst the 10 participants, with one suggestion to rename the portal.

In other news, a [[s:Portal:Conservatism|new portal]] focusing on conservatism has been created at WikiSource. Wikisource is an online library of free content publications with 254,051 accessible texts. One highlight of the portal's content is ''[[s:Reflections on the Revolution in France|Reflections on the Revolution in France]]'' by [[Edmund Burke]].

October saw a 6.4% increase in new members, bringing the total membership to 58. Seven of the eight new members joined after October 12; the deletion discussions may have played a role in the membership spike. [[User:Mwhite148|Mwhite148]] is a member of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|UK Conservative Party]]. Stating that he is not a conservative, [[user:Kleinzach|Kleinzach]] noted his "lifetime interest in British, European and international politics." Let's all make an effort to welcome the new members with an outpouring of [[wp:Wikilove|Wikilove]].

Timeline of conservatism, a Top-importance list, was [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of conservatism|nominated for deletion]] on October 3. The nominator stated that since conservatism in an "ambiguous concept", the timeline suffers from original research. There were a number of "Delete", as well as "Keep" votes. The closing administrator reasoned that consensus dictated that the list be renamed. The current title is [[Timeline of modern American conservatism]].

On January 21, [[The Conservatism Portal]] was promoted to [[WP:Featured Portal|Featured Portal (FP)]] due largely to the contributions of Lionelt. This is the first Featured content produced by WikiProject Conservatism. The road to Featured class was rocky. An earlier nomination for FP failed, and in October the portal was "Kept" after being nominated for deletion.

Member [[user:Eisfbnore|Eisfbnore]] significantly contributed to the successful [[WP:Good Article|Good Article]] nomination of  Norwegian journalist and newspaper editor [[Nils Vogt (journalist)|Nils Vogt]] in December. Eisfbnore also created the article. In January another Project article was promoted to [[WP:Featured Article|Featured Article]]. [[Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, Duke of Caxias]], a president of Brazil, attained Featured class with significant effort by [[user:Lecen|Lecen]]. The [[WP:RIGHT/I|Article Incubator]] saw its first graduation in November. A collaboration spearheaded by [[user:Mzk1|Mzk1]] and [[user:Trackerseal|Trackerseal]] successfully developed [[Star Parker]] to pass the notability guideline.

Another [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism#Scope (Part II): Endorsements|discussion]] addressing the project scope began in December. Nine alternatives were presented in the contentious, sometimes heated discussion. Support was divided between keeping the exitsing scope, or adopting a scope with more specificity. Some opponents of the specific scope were concerned that it was too limiting and would adversely affect project size. About twenty editors participated in the discussion.

Inclusion of the article [[Ku Klux Klan]] (KKK) was [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism/Archive 5#Ku Klux Klan|debated]]. Supporters for inclusion cited sources describing the KKK as "conservative." The article was excluded with more than 10 editors participating.

[[File:Rick Santorum by Gage Skidmore.jpg|80px|left]]

Articles about the GOP presidential candidate and staunch traditional marriage supporter have seen an explosion of discussion. On January 8 an RFC was opened [[Talk:Campaign for "santorum" neologism#RfC|(here)]] to determine if Dan Savage's website link should be included in [[Campaign for "santorum" neologism]]. The next day the [[Rick Santorum]] article itself was the subject of an RFC [[talk:Rick Santorum#BLP and inclusion/exclusion of the neologism|(here)]] to determine if including the Savage neologism was a violation of the [[WP:BLP|BLP policy]]. Soon after a third was opened [[Talk:Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality#Proposed merger of Campaign for "santorum" neologism into Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality|(here)]] at [[Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality]]. This RFC proposes merging the [[Campaign for "santorum" neologism|neologism article]] into the [[Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality|controversy article]].

The Abortion case [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion/Proposed decision|closed]] in November after 15 weeks of contentious arbitration. The remedies include semi-protection of all abortion articles (numbering 1,500), sanctions for some editors including members of this Project, and a provision for a discussion to determine the names of what are colloquially known as the [[pro-life]] and [[pro-choice]] articles. The Committee endorsed the "1 revert rule" for abortion articles.

Join us for a full Sunday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Center for Jewish History]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to Women in Jewish History.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. 

Expanding coverage of Jewish women on Wikipedia makes these women and their creations discoverable, addresses the gender bias on Wikipedia in a positive way, and works to correct imbalances archival collecting practice and institutional projects that have historically silenced women's narratives.

A training session on editing Wikipedia will be held at 12:30 pm. Experienced Wikipedians will be on-hand to assist throughout the day. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand. 

Light refreshments will be provided.

Make edits! Ask questions! Be bold!

Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Museum of Modern Art]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists.

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 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.

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.

Fellow members, I'm pleased to announce the return of the newsletter of [[WP:WikiProject Conservatism|WikiProject Conservatism]]. And considering the recent [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-04-26/From_the_editors|downsizing at ''The Signpost'']] the timing could not be better. ''The Right Stuff'' will help keep you apprised of what's happening in conservatism at Wikipedia and in the world. ''The Right Stuff'' welcomes submissions including position pieces, instructional articles, or short essays addressing important conservatism-related issues. Post submissions [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Conservatism/News|here]].

After a ''series of unfortunate events'' largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin {{u|Andrevan}} was the subject of an [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests#Advanced_permissions_of_Andrevan|Arbitration case]] for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including {{u|Winkelvi}} and the notorious {{u|MONGO}}. 

Editors who faced Enforcement action include {{u|SPECIFICO}} (no action), {{u|Factchecker atyourservice}} (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), {{u|Netoholic}} (no action) and {{u|Anythingyouwant}} (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). [[WT:WikiProject Conservatism|(Discuss this story)]]</div>

''[[Breitbart News]]'', in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The [https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-breitbart-declares-war-on-wikipedia-in-facebook-s-fight-against-fake-news-1.5991915 article in ''Haaretz''] describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. ''Breitbart's'' targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to ''Haaretz''. There is no love lost between ''Breitbart'' and Wikipedia where editors at the [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard|Reliable Sources Noticeboard]] have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to ''The Daily Mail''.

==POV pushing concerns at WikiProject Conservatism==
I wanted to let you know that your member statement on the WikiProject Conservatism [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Conservatism/About_us#Members|member list]], {{tq|"The Wikipedia is full of Fabian gradualists and Alinskyite confrontationalists, so when they push left, it is good to be among editors who push right back. Remember - WP:NOTTRUTH,"}} is one of several that may be seen as inappropriate POV pushing. You might consider editing this statement for neutrality or joining the ongoing [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Conservatism#%22I_am_interested_in_working_on...%22|discussion]]. Thanks –[[User:Dlthewave|dlthewave]] [[User_talk:Dlthewave|☎]] 15:11, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
:It's my opinion from 2011.  And it is still true in 2018.  I laugh at the idea that my observation that Wikipedia is full of leftist POV pushers to be itself "inappropriate POV pushing".  Get a life. [[User:Patsw|patsw]] ([[User talk:Patsw#top|talk]]) 02:53, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject Conservatism was a [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive985#Vote_stacking_concern|topic of discussion]] at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the [[WP:Canvassing]] guideline. 

At one point the discussion segued to feedback about ''The Right Stuff.'' Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red." 

Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion.
''Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.''

Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a [[Wikipedia:Community_health_initiative_on_English_Wikipedia/Research_about_Administrators%27_Noticeboard_Incidents|recent survey]] . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "[[Wikipedia:BOOMERANG|boomerang effect]]" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an [[Wikipedia:Community_health_initiative_on_English_Wikipedia/Research_about_Administrators%27_Noticeboard_Incidents/Quantitative_data_analysis|analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I]]. Some notable takeaways:

* 53% avoided making a report due to fearing it would not be handled appropriately
* "Otherwise 'popular' users often avoid heavy sanctions for issues that would get new editors banned."
* "Discussions need to be clerked to keep them from raising more problems than they solve."

In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at [[Wikipedia_talk:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-04-26/In_focus|''The Signpost'']] and [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive298#AN_/_ANI_boards_under_criticism|also at AN/I]]. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas [[Wikipedia_talk:Community_health_initiative_on_English_Wikipedia/Improved_tools_and_workflows_to_report_harassment|here]].

==Disambiguation link notification for August 12==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited [[Georges de La Tour]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Saint Irene]] ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Georges_de_La_Tour check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Georges_de_La_Tour?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are [[WP:INTDABLINK|usually incorrect]], since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].)</small>

== Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ==

You were early to note that the AOC WP article is obviously slanted in her favor - no criticism allowed.  Take a look at what has transpired there - since just this morning.  I dared introduce mention of her many gaffes, and was not only reverted (twice), I got the old "stop or you'll be suspended" warning on my Talk Page from the redoubtable Tsumikiria, who has been a thorn in my side before.  If I had a clue how to give him the same treatment, I would.  A couple of months back he reverted an edit I made in the same article with the expanation that 'everyone knows israeli (sic) media lies'.

Is there any hope for Wikipedia?

[[User:Vcuttolo|Vcuttolo]] ([[User talk:Vcuttolo|talk]]) 01:35, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
:You're the one seeing all this as personal without any regard to relevant policies. If you're thinking about canvassing [[WP:MEAT]] or about framing me - that's definitely a great idea worth considering. Please stop.

::Sorry, on the whole question of the [[objectivity of Wikipedia]], that ship sailed away years ago.  As I wrote on the [[Talk: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez|talk page]] (although it may be archived now), in particular, [[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez|AOC]] is in the firm grip of editors expert in the use of Wikipedia policies with heavy thumbs on the scale to include supportive edits and exclude critical edits.  Don't get excited, it's only Wikipedia.  The [[double standard]] of so-called mainstream media is a [[force multiplier]] here.

'''[[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.

== Would like your help posting a publicity photo of Dawn Eden Goldstein ==

Greetings, Pat! You've been doing great work on Dawn Eden Goldstein's Wikipedia entry. I've been trying to post Dawn's latest publicity photo, which can be seen here: https://dawneden.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html. However, I don't know how to post a photo properly on Wikipedia. Dawn owns the photo outright and has given permission for the photo to appear on Wikipedia and be shared freely with credit given to photographer Deirdre McQuade. Might you be able to contact her, get whatever information you need to put the photo on her Wikipedia page, and post it? Dawn's email address is on the right-hand side of her blog, https://dawneden.blogspot.com/. Thanks again and God bless you. P.S. Thanks also for your work on Pius XII.

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.

==About the American sainthood candidates==

Hi! Thanks for the message. For your information, I added and returned those particular names on the list because I found that there were local and private devotions on them despite that there were no official petitions to open up their canonization causes. One becomes a candidate for sainthood if there are certain groups having devotions to them. In fact, it is one of the necessary requirements to open up an individual's case for sainthood – a group of people venerating him/her as such. Therefore, those names deserve to be on the list. Like the case of [[Helio Koaʻeloa]], a native Hawaiian not yet considered considered for sainthood, but is revered by many Hawaiian Catholics. --[[User:AchillesTBW|AchillesTBW]] 02:27, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

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.

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.
