== Citadel Edits ==
I'm not sure if you are the administrator of The Citadel page, [...] This page won't service cadets and grads, but rather outsiders who are trying to learn about the school... the page that is up there is disgraceful and will give a horrible image to anyone who comes across it.  I'm sorry for this if you are indeed not resposible for the content, but I did notice that you had reverted the vital changes that I made in hopes of putting forth the proper image of The Citadel to those that wish to read about it.  Regards -- India 05 grad [[User:Alum05]]

== Talk: VMI==
Rillian, I went ahead and called the KA Order headquarters for help, and they directed me to an online citation regarding the Beta Commission and KA Order commission policies in general. I have added the citations. That should address your citation request. I'll look for the NMMI book for citation as soon as possible (if no one gets to it sooner). [[User:Loubocop|Loubocop]] 16:55, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Rillian, the Beta Commission at VMI is usually listed on the KA site. It is the only "commission", every other listing else is a "chapter". I am an alumnus of VMI and a member of the Beta Commission of the KA Order. VMI policy prohibits being active in any fraternity while a cadet (in the general orders), thus I was inducted into KA immediately following graduation in the 1980s. The practice continues, and it isn't a secret. I know of no written public written policy regarding VMI's Beta Commission. So, I have lived it, but how am I to cite it in a way that meets your satisfaction? A call or email to KA Order would confirm the policy, but how would one cite that? As for the NMMI reference, I have heard it from others, and I have read it in a book published by NMMI which I will try to locate and cite. One of the early staff graduated from VMI and partly modeled NMMI on VMI. It might take a while to find the citation, as I believe the book is in storage. I'll do my best to help there, but it might take a while. Thanks.

Rillian, Believe it or not, I am trying to make the article you and I keep working on better.  Why don't we try to meet somewhere in the middle on this thing and arrive at an article we both feel content with?  I'd like to get something together that represents well and is accurate.  I feel like it's fine, but you have some different ideas...Let's work something out.
[[User:Marshall3|Marshall3]] 21:20, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Rillian, PLEASE read my edits before you simply revert to your old saved copy and edits.  I'm trying to work with you, not against you.  The pictures need to be properly spaced...it simply looks and flows much better.  Also, the "most general officer fact" needs to be in the notable grad section.  I've made very few changes to a great article...let's work together on this man...
[[User:Marshall3|Marshall3]] 01:55, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

User: Rillian, just wanted to let you know I moved the VMI ratline merge comments, photo comments, and peer review comments to the peer review page.  Those entries were a bit outdated and duplicated, so it seemed appropriate to move them where they belong.  Just wanted to let you know and to say thanks for all your help with the article...it reads well.
Thanks again[[User:Alum94|Alum94]] 18:45, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Please note that I am not removing any comments, but I am archiving old comments.  All comments are available for research purposes, and I kindly ask that you stop reversing my (and other users) edits.  Thanks [[User:Tuf|Tuf]] 16:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Rillian,
Regarding the VMI discussion site, I set up a second archive set.  This should suffice and satisfy your request.  Please let me know when you've got a problem and stop it already with the silly warnings...we don't need to mess around with that.  Let's be civil.[[User:Tuf|Tuf]] 02:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Rillian, please "cut it out."  I don't appreciate your one-sided reversions and edits...and you know what I'm talking about.  Changes have been made to the article to stick to the facts and accomodate the person posing as a graduate.  I'd be happy to elevate this issue along with your continual one-sided edits (I've noticed the way you've chosen to edit and organize this page for example) up the chain with other senior admistrators and wikipedia editors if you wish...[[User:Marshall3|Marshall3]] 16:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I have asked you repeatedly to consider other's edits to the VMI page.  Yet again, please stop blindly re-editing VMI's page.  As it stands, the ranking is accurate and the prayer in the mess issue is completedly dated and irrelevant. [[User:Marshall3|Marshall3]] 17:04, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove my edits.  Article cited is relevant and I do not believe you have been appointed the "keeper" of this article.[[User:Blue2221|Blue2221]] 20:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Again, I've added sources and you have deleted them... I do believe that would be considered vandalism.  I do not appreciate your trolling and edit mongering and I ask you to kindly stop.[[User:Blue2221|Blue2221]] 04:13, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Check cited website and you'll notice "first state military college" is on the school's main website page at the top.  Please stop reversing it as it is not a "peacock statement."  Also, it is precisely because this school is all military that it is called the westpoint of the south.  Period.  Placing this statement after the statement about spartan environment (where you continually place it) makes it appear that westpoint has a spartan environment.  When compared to VMI, Westpoint is certainly not spartan.  You are taking statements in the article out of context and I am once again asking you to stop.  Nothing I've placed is untrue or even a stretch...it's 100% accurate and significant in distinguishing this school from others.  You need to stop your senseless edits without looking at the sources.  In short, cut it out [[User:Koonoonga|Koonoonga]] 23:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

==Roberts==
Your recent edits to the [[John G. Roberts, Jr.]] page got me thinking.  See my comment [[Talk:John G. Roberts, Jr.#The battle for confirmation to the Supreme Court|here]], I'd like your input. [[User:NoSeptember|'''<font color = green>NoSeptember</font>''']] 13:37, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

==Primary candidates VFD==
Many of the candidates for the [[June 14]], [[2005]], congressional primary have been proposed for deletion.  I am writing those who worked on election articles to request that they offer their votes against the proposal.  The VFD's can be found starting at [[Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Log/2005_August_8#Peter_Fossett]].  It is my view that we ought to provide a complete record of the election and my deleting so called "minor" candidates we do a disservice to them and the historical record.  Please vote against all these proposals.[[User:PedanticallySpeaking|PedanticallySpeaking]] 14:54, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

==Schmidt and Hackett==
You worked on articles on the special election in Ohio on [[August 2]].

==SNL Family Connections==
So, just using the word nepotism is a POV?  I don't get it.  Nepotism means appointment to a job based on kinship.  Although some may see negative connotations in the word, it is not inherently negative.  It means that someone got a job based on the fact that they were related to someone else in the company.  I'm pretty sure Jim Belushi didn't just '''happen''' to stumble across a job at SNL by coincidence. [[User:Leadpipevigilante|Leadpipevigilante]] 07:07, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

== Lost ==
Hey man -- I know we've had disagreements about the possible "unaccounted for" passenger -- but thanks for keeping up the rvs.  The page gets too cluttered when people list EVERY single individual (i.e. "Other #1" "Danielle's Crew Member #2," etc, etc.  It's good to keep things concise.  I also agree with you to NOT include characters who died in the crash (i.e. "co-pilot," "Lake Man," etc.) and CERTAINLY not Jack's dead father. What is your opinion of the "non televised" characters being included?  I personally am against this.  It is not true canon. [[User:Danflave|Danflave]] 18:56, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

:Rillian -- wanted to thank you for being so thorough with the "Characters of Lost" page! I appreciate all your edits in keeping the page as accurate and free of OR as possible. [[User:Danflave|Danflave]] 04:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Rillian,  I am trying to see if there is some interest in an article about cadets in the civil war.  I have started some discussion on the VMI site relative to some facts.  However,  not sure if I am doing it right since a lot of books are cited.  Could you give me a good to go?

==Gnosticism template==
We seem to have the same agenda... I've gotten into edit conflicts with you three times tonight. I've got to be faster on the ball. :) [[User:KI|KI]] 02:10, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

:I am the first to admit, that I am not an authority on Gnosticism.

:However in editing the Gospel of Judas article, I noted that no such template existed.  I thought it would be a useful template to have to help distinguish 'Gnostic' articles from 'Christian' ones and to provide a common box for articles with a Gnostic theme.  I was hoping that this would reduce the number of dogma based battles that occur over edits on the articles about early Christian texts that never became canonized.

:I noted that you contributed significantly to that template in your edits, and I wanted to thank you and let you know that I encourage you to continue for the template has already taken on a better form because of your contribution.  I'm going to leave this same note on the user page of a few of the others have also improved the template.

== Merge Vote on [[Ultraviolet map]] ==
Hi I was thinking about taking this whole merge discussion in an entirely different direction. Instead of merging the info on the poorly named [[Ultraviolet map]] into the unfocused [[The DHARMA Initiative]]. How about we expand on [[User: Silentplanet| Silentplanet]]'s idea and create sub sections on known Hatches? 

Remember the "The DHARMA Initiative" article is supposed to '''focus''' on what it is. Adding more information to "''the Swan''" only shows that this hatch should be expanded upon in another article. The title of this article after all is ''not'' "The DHARMA Hatches." To me it looks like we should put in some information about what exactly the DHARMA Initiative is. We should give some history on it maybe include the information on the film and then some brief information about the hatches and what they are. Hatches that we know more about like "The Swan" should have its own page that would then contain information such as "the Map", "The Timer", etc... I think that this is a more reasonable solution and would also make it a more logical solution as an encyclopedia article. Please let me know what you think (in your talk page)! And if you do agree please note that on your merge vote! Thanks -- [[User:UKPhoenix79|UKPhoenix79]] 04:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

==Expulsion at BJU==
Sorry, I left out sexual relations when I was shifting things around.  But it doesn't fit in the same category as curfew and movie watching.  Maybe I'll expand the first paragraph of that section some and include it there where "immorality" is mentioned. 

Thanks for the recent editing you did on the BJU page.  You got rid of a number of things that I didn't have interest enough to zip. Some time take a look at the [[Alpha Omega Delta]] page and tell me whether you think this is a legitimate Wikipedia article.

== BJU-Bibb Graves ==

I appreciate your edits, and I won't replace the line you've removed.  But it does have revelance to the notion that Graves was defined by his flirtation with the Klan. The three Alabama schools (which have a total of five things named after Graves)would have probably found ways to rename them long since if Graves was remembered for his Klan membership.  Also, the entry above Graves, the one for David Davis,  mentions the two buildings named for Davis in Youngstown, Ohio.

== On Citadel disambiquation page ==

Rillian,  I changed the reference on the disambiquation page back to comprehensive vs. liberal arts.  I thought we could discuss this here or via email instead of just switching it back and forth ad nauseum.

I have been a prof in the Citadel's electrical engineering department here for nine years and we have faught the liberal arts label as long as we have been here.  The presence of a school of engineering makes us a comprehensive college - not a liberal arts college.  This is the way The Citadel refers to itself and this is what we are.  In 2006, we graduated more majors in engineering than any other discipline except business: http://www.citadel.edu/instresearch/06cds/degrees.htm.

== 1984 ad merger==
I beleive that the ad should be merged with apple computer advertising.

:I strongly agree with you that the 1984 ad is one of the best and most publicized articles made in the past 25 years however, this does not mean the article content will be any differant if it was part of the apple computer advertising article, it will be collaborated so, all he articles will be easy to access.

Dear rillian,

yes, i have used the ip address,  to edit stuff on wikipedia - i was away from our house and wanted to add my opinion to the vote however, i am not a puppet belonging to symode09. How do i symode98 prove this to you?

can you please contact symode09 so you can ask him/her to prove it to you?

If I may also ask, what are the grounds on which you accuse me of being a sock puppet?

== Your edits on [[Lost (TV series)|Lost]] ==

Hi, Rillian,

I noticed that you modified the first article link at the disamb page [[Lost]] to be "Lost (2004 TV series)" -- this really shouldn't be done, because the title is actually "[[Lost (TV series)]]". When piping links, they should either be the accurate name of an article, or an in-context, clear "short form" (such as, the television series, ''[[Lost (TV series)|Lost]]''). The matter of adding the date to the article's title is a contentious one, and thus incorporating it in the actual link confuses the matter significantly. See: [[Talk:Lost (TV series)#Lost (TV series) is ambiguous disambiguation]]. Thus, I would ask that you revert it back.

==Pete Siebold and Doug Shane==

I wanted to let you know that I reverted your info boxes for [[Doug Shane]] and [[Peter Siebold]], as neither one flew SS1 into space, and therefore did not qualify for their astronaut wings. [[User:Akradecki|Akradecki]] 02:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, but in the case of civilians who have not been qualified as NASA astronauts, there's only one other way to become one, and that's to receive their FAA astronaut cert, which these two did not do. They're not NASA qualified astronauts, they're not FAA astronauts. They're great men, I know them both, but calling them "astronauts" when they haven't been qualified as such is providing less than accurate information to our readers.[[User:Akradecki|Akradecki]] 02:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

::Well, you are correct in a way, there is no such thing in the U.S. as a "pilot's license". We have Pilots Certificates and associated ratings (but we don't have "badges"....I have no idea where you get the idea of a "badge", as there's no such thing). Melvill and Binnie didn't get a "licence" but a rating added to their pilots certificate for flying into space. The other two did not.  It wasn't something "honorary", it was an actual rating, so they are rated as astronauts, while Shane and Siebold are not. You can train as a pilot all you want, but until you take the checkride, you don't get the rating or certificate. For the astronauts, you don't get that until you make the actual flight. Though I didn't say this earlier, by calling those who aren't really astronauts such a title, you denegrate the work and qualifications of those who have accomplished it. Let's bring this back to wikipedia-land, though: you have to have verifiability for statements, you don't get to make up stuff yourself. NASA certainly doesn't officially recognize these two as astronauts, so that leaves the only other body who can officially recognize them as astronauts, and that is the FAA. If you can point me to some other official, verifiable source that has designated these two as astronauts, then I'll gladly concur with you on this, but until you can, we should stick with wikipedia verifiabilty guidelines. [[User:Akradecki|Akradecki]] 21:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I don't know why you're suddenly readding these, and referring to a discussion on [[Astronaut]].

:First off, infoboxes are subject to requiring factual verification as much as content in the article.  Otherwise, I could throw a country singer infobox, or an aircraft infobox on the article.  The argument that it is an infobox and therefore does not count is faulty.

Also, none of the references in [[Peter Siebold]] also classify him as an astronaut.

::::Because it is wrong somewhere else does not mean it is correct here.

::::::I understand your concerns.  And actually it is very confusing.  How many of the other people with infoboxes can you find a third party source stating they are "astronauts".  While there is no official governing body that determines what an astronaut is, you could find a newspaper that refers to them as astronauts, a news report, a websit (as long as it is reliable in wikipedias terms).  However, the point of wikipedia is not for US, the editors to make the connection.  I know it is hard to understand.  It may look like an astronaut, it may smell like an astronaut, but until SOMEBODY ELSE tells us it is an astronaut, it is not.  (That is how it is supposed to work).  By you saying that there is no official sources that refer to these people as astronauts but they meey the definition, that is YOU making the connection.  We as editors are not supposed to make the connection, however write the articles based on an external parties connection.  I hope this has helped to clear things up.

:::::::With all due respect, there ''are'' official sources for who an astronaut is. The various branches of the military and NASA award astronaut wings for a reason: this is an official designation. Same with the FAA for commericial astronauts. Shane and Siebold were originally announced at the beginning of the SS1 program as part of the group of four who would ''become'' astronauts through the program, but ultimately, instead of each piloting one of the four planned flights, only Binnie and Melvill flew the missions, and only those two were officially designated as astronauts by the FAA. There ''is'' sources/cites for this information (which I've already added where appropriate). [[User:Akradecki|Akradecki]] 18:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
←Thank you for being civil through all of this.  You are a very patient editor.  Your use the country music analogy (which i had used previously).  I guess rock music might have been a better example.  In the rock music and heavy metal rock music wikiprojects and related articles, there are many edit wars over what genre a band falls within.  There are many genres of rock music, grunge, post grunge, heavy metal, etc etc etc.  The edit wars that occur are because a group of editors find a source that states something.  ANother editor disagress and feels that the bands music meets the description of another genre and changes it.  This is an example of how applying an article to a definition can constitute originial research.  Good luck finding the sources!

Hi!. I see you modified some of the text of [[Space exploration]], apparently to eliminate terms like astronaut, and emphasize these were the first people from the nations in question to go into space. I support that idea, but "citizen" (in the minds of some readers) implies "non-military". And as you know these first-time-in-space people tended to have been in active military service at the times they were launched. I don't want to start an edit war, but nonetheless intend to change these uses of "citizen" to to "person".... ([[User:Sdsds|sdsds]] - ''[[User talk:Sdsds|talk]]'') 16:56, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

== [[List of astronauts by selection]] ==

Re: Removal of Malaysian Astronaut program info. I respect your edits a lot, as I hope you know, we've worked on several articles together, and I think you're a great editor. But this issue, I do not agree with your decision to revert me. It is not my opinion at all; if you see the list, there is commentary about new programs, (see Canada's first group, X Prize, etc.) and the brand new Malaysian program is quite appropriate to mention. The program is real, the training is real, and while yes, NASA termed him a SFP, that doesn't diminish the Malaysian program, and it deserves to be mentioned, just as that of Canada, (1983) X Prize, etc. I realize there has been a lot of silly edit warring on the whole Shukor being a tourist/astronaut issue, but I do think that it is really not something that should be edit warred over; the terminology NASA used is because they don't have a designation for someone who isn't from NASA, JAXA, ESA, or RSA, so they use the catch-all term, but there are plenty of references to back up the fact that this program is real, his training was that of an astronaut (not the same training a paying tourist does), the Russian government has confirmed he's a "cosmonaut", and actually have extended an open invitation to Maylasia to send another astronaut to the ISS. 

I initially was on the side of those who was calling Shukor a tourist at first, but then I did some research, read up on it, and realized that's not what he is, he's not a "participant", and the sources back this up. Now, consider the list, it is a list of astronauts, and their ''positions'' they were ''selected'' for, and trained for, i.e. Mission Specialist, Pilot, etc. It is not a list of the position they held when they flew. Now obviously Maylasia is not training these people to be "Spaceflight participants", lol. This is another reason that the term does not work with this list. There is truly no valid reason to use this term in this list, as it is quite specifically a list of the positions they were selected for, and trained for. Therefore, respectfully, I disagree with you removing that section, and I will restore it, as both the terminology, and the commentary, is appropriate for the list's context, and it is backed up by a reliable source (and can be backed up my multiple reliable sources). I hope that this doesn't turn into a big issue, as I hope you can understand the context of the article, the meaning of "spaceflight participant" (used mainly for tourists), and the appropriateness of adding commentary to another country's new program. Respectfully, <small>[[user:ArielGold|<font color="8B00FF">'''Ariel'''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/ArielGold|<font color="F64A8A">♥</font>]][[User_talk:ArielGold|<font color="007FFF">'''Gold'''</font>]]</small> 16:13, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

== [[Spaceflight participant]] ==

Interesting, and good job on the article. I think a hatnote needs to be added somewhere to [[Space tourism]], to direct readers there. I'll work on adding [[WP:RS|reliable sources]], and I moved the Charles blog into "External links" as that's not a reliable source, and added the {{t1|reflist}} template and references section. I'm glad you took the leap to do this, when I suggested it months ago, nobody thought it was a good idea, so I just created it as a redirect to the tourism article. I think this fills a gap, as I'm sure there are people who type in this term and don't really find the tourism article specifically helpful. Thanks for creating it! <small>[[user:ArielGold|<font color="8B00FF">'''Ariel'''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/ArielGold|<font color="F64A8A">♥</font>]][[User_talk:ArielGold|<font color="007FFF">'''Gold'''</font>]]</small> 04:22, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I reverted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series&diff=prev&oldid=184111566 your revert] of my edit again. Maybe my edit summary was not sufficient to understand what I have done, therefore here a longer explanation: Although I'm a German, I own Nichelle Nichols Book "Beyond Uhura" in english. It was not available in a German edition, therefore I bought the original. On page 198 Nichols says: "[...] we were probably actually working with significant less money than that. This is why in the third season you saw fewer outdoor location shots, for example. Top writers, top guest stars [...]". Therefore, after my modification it was still a quote, and I think it was even better quoted than before. --[[User:Cyfal|Cyfal]] ([[User talk:Cyfal|talk]]) 22:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

The problem with ''Nichelle Nichols observed that as a result of NBC's actions, "you saw fewer outdoor location shots, for example [in season 3]"'' is, that its meaning is somewhat ambigous. It can also be the case that "season 3" is the example instead of that examples in season 3 are given. (Changing the phrase into ''Nichelle Nichols observed that as a result of NBC's actions, "[in season 3] you saw fewer outdoor location shots, for example."'' would resolve that ambiguity.) 
:Shurely, from the context of the preceding sentence it is clear what is meant, but why shouldn't we use my version for the citation? My version has also the advantage the ugly brackets are not necessary. And as I said before, it's the correct quote.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Human Spaceflight|Human Spaceflight]] → [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Human spaceflight|Human spaceflight]]). The projects are all doing the same/very similar things, and in my opinion, a single, larger, project would be more effective than three smaller, and somewhat inactive projects.. In light of very little response to messages on the project talk pages, I am now sending this message to all members of all three projects, inviting them to discuss the proposal [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Human_Spaceflight#Three_projects_doing_the_same_thing|'''on the Human Spaceflight project's talk page''']]. I would appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks. --<font color="#115566">'''GW_Simulations'''<sub>[[User:GW Simulations|<font color="#000000">User Page</font>]] | [[User talk:GW_Simulations|<font color="#000000">Talk</font>]]</sub></font> 22:39, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


Astronaut does mean American space traveler.  Please check here to see that Astronaut is not an internationally accepted name. http://www.answers.com/topic/astronaut
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_space_travel_by_nationality
http://homeboynet.wordpress.com/2007/02/19/astronauts-cosmonauts-taikonauts-and-spationauts/
http://enc.slider.com/Enc/Astronaut

I agree that Taikonaut is not universally accepted as chinese space traveler, but US denomination "astonaut" shouldn't overshadow Russian Astronauts (who don't see any reason to call themselves astronauts), or European Spationauts.
The acceptance of amercian "Astonaut" as an international term is an unacceptable US-centered term.

== Younger contemporary ==

It's not worth arguing about, but I googled the phrase "younger contemporary" and found a number of first-rate uses of the term.  Interestingly, the most scholarly of them are from old reference works.

== Future missions for astronauts ==

Hi! I applaud your removal of unflown missions from the astronout infoboxes -- thank-you for taking that stance! That said, I wonder if there ''is'' some way we should be consistently indicating on astronaut bio pages when there are upcoming missions they are scheduled to fly. It could be some additional field in the infobox, but it might be better as something more like the {{tl|launching}} template for satellites, that is designed to be removed from the article once the mission is actually flown. Tangentially, have you seen the [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Human_spaceflight#New_project |proposal]] to create a coordinated aerospace task force for aviation and space biographies? This is the kind of question which would be great for discussion there.... ([[User:Sdsds|sdsds]] - ''[[User talk:Sdsds|talk]]'') 01:15, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for the welcome message.I would also like to stress I am keen to resolve what I suspect is only a minor difference of opinion on the respective weighting of the inclusion of astronaut & cosmonaut.

The very definitions of astronauts, taikonauts and spationauts fly in the face of any universal use of astronaut : astronauts are American Space travelers, and that's it.

Dear Rillian.
The very fact that the US term for space travelers "astronaut" is used by you as the generic term for space travelers is a sure sign that you're not being neuitral.
Since Russians launch "cosmonauts",
since Europeans launch "spationauts",
since Chinese launche "taikonauts" (even if this term might be replace by the corresponding chinese term, seldom used in western media...),
you using the term astronaut imply a serious bias of any Wikipedia article concerned.
I hope you can agree that the correct term is simply "space traveler" and that "Astronaut", as used during the Cold War, is linked to the US.

Considering the number of comments about you not abiding by wikipedia's common regulations, I hope you'll be banned altogether.<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:J-Baptiste|J-Baptiste]] ([[User talk:J-Baptiste|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/J-Baptiste|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== Page moves ==

Hi, Rillian. You moved [[Presidents Day (United States)]] to [[Washington's Birthday]] back in May, but you did so through copy-paste. This is a problem because editors are required to be given credit under the terms of the GDFL. This is accomplished through the edit history, and by copy-pasting articles, the edit history is severed from the text (this effectively nullifies the GDFL for that article). If there are redirects in the way of a move, you can simply request an admin perform the move for you at [[WP:RM]], or slap a {{tl|db-move}} on the redirect. I already fixed this article, so don't worry about it, just keep it in mind for the future. Thanks. [[User:Parsecboy|Parsecboy]] ([[User talk:Parsecboy|talk]]) 19:43, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

== Charles Simonyi ==

I understand that Simonyi is one of the few Hungarians (the first?) to travel into space. His ethnicity in this case is important and thus should be stated in the opening paragraph. However, as with every biography on Wikipedia of a living person, we also state their nationality. I understand why someone would want to state his ethnicity, and I agree that is important in this case. But placing emphasis on his ethnicity over nationality violates our [[MOS:BIO|Manual of Style]], which states that "Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability." In this case, it is. However, nationality is always reqired, which "will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable." Simonyi became notable when he worked with Microsoft in the U.S., and again when he went into space, and in both cases he was an American.--[[Special:Contributions/98.232.98.144|98.232.98.144]] ([[User talk:98.232.98.144|talk]]) 18:35, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

== STS-134 ==

[[STS-134]] and [[STS-133]] have both been base lined as launching NET July 29, 2010. However only one is going to get the slot. They base lined them like this so that they can decided which one they want to fly first. In order to say that 134 is going before 133 for sure is stupid. A change request has to be filled, which it has not, and it needs to be approved before it can happen. Unless you can publish a reliable source that says the CR has been submited and approved then please don't change it. I know and just about every one who follows the SSP knows STS-134 is probably going to fly first, but until a reliable source publishes that information, it should be left alone. I will also add a section to the talk page so people can comment, and if consensus is given for your change then I will go with it.

I see your logic but on [[Sunita Williams]], the patches represent separate missions and expeditions. However, with Helen Sharman. These two missions are one individual mission.

== Numbering of Apollo missions ==

The most authoritative sources, NASA history, document how the policy was established for renaming the early missions. ''The Apollo Spacecraft: a Chronology'', Vol. IV part 1 gives the process George Mueller gave to number all the missions, honoring the Apollo 1 widows' wish while minimizing contradiction and confusion. George Low sent him two alternate suggestions, both of which he rejected. Using Apollo 2 and Apollo 3 appears to be based on one of these, but you're even getting that reversed.

:"In a letter to George E. Mueller, OMSF, on March 30, MSC Deputy Director George M. Low offered two suggestions, in keeping with the intent of the NASA instruction yet keeping the designation Apollo 1 for spacecraft 012. NASA Hq. had approved that designation before the January 27 fire claimed the lives of Astronauts Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White II, and Roger B. Chaffee; and their widows requested that the designation be retained. The suggestions were: 

:[The first one was rejected out of hand; considering AS-201, 202 and 203 to be extensions of the Saturn I flights and resuming the numbering of what was Apollo 4 as Apollo 2, etc.]

:2. Designate the next flight Apollo 4, as indicated by Headquarters, but apply the scheme somewhat differently for missions already flown. Specifically, put the Apollo 1 designation on spacecraft 012 and then, for historic purposes, designate 201 as mission 1-a, 202 as mission 2 and 203 as mission 3."

So note that AS-202 would have been Apollo 2, not 3, and vice-versa. The fact that 202 wasn't ready in time, and thus was launched after 203, just adds more confusion. (Also, it wouldn't make much sense to call AS-203 Apollo ''anything'', since it didn't carry a spacecraft. But that's admittedly OR.) But moot, anyway; Mueller's final ruling:

:"A memorandum to the NASA space flight Centers, North American Aviation, and certain Headquarters personnel from the NASA Assistant Administrator for Public Affairs on April 3 stated that the Project Designation Committee had approved the Office of Manned Space Flight's recommendations and that Mueller had begun implementation of the designations.
:On April 24, OMSF further instructed the Centers that AS-204 would be officially recorded as Apollo 1, "first manned Apollo Saturn flight - failed on ground test." ''AS-201, AS-202, and AS-203 would not be renumbered in the "Apollo" series'' [emphasis added], and the next mission would be Apollo 4."

Even a New York Times reporter ([[John Noble Wilford]] who is normally a reliable 1960s-70s space source, can occasionally get it wrong. In ''We Reach the Moon'' he refers in a footnote to the first three flights being renumbered Apollo 1, 2, and 3 (with no mention of how that contradicts the widows' wishes) and generally indexes the fire as AS 204, though he does mention the astronauts named it Apollo 1.

Plus, does universe.com really qualify as a reliable source? Its privacy policy says it is exclusively the work of one Frasier Cain, but it seems to be another wiki (the "Apollo 3" article is by a Jerry Coffey.) I can't find any source citations (wait a minute; ''here'' we are: "There is a great article on [[Apollo 3|the Apollo 3 mission here]]." That would be a circular reference.) I've seen some editors express skepticism about ''Encyclopedia Astronautica'', but that looks more scholarly than this site appears to be; at least Mark Wade provides references.

I have done some Google searching for references to "Apollo 2" or "Apollo 3", and haven't found anything reliable. I've found mirrors of Wikipedia, or people who cite Wikipedia, or fan- or student-level sites. I even found a complete absurdity: a "picture of Apollo 2" which was a Saturn V on its pad! (Explain that?)

I don't think Wikipedia should contribute to spreading more misinformation than it already has. If we want to mention the alternative Apollo 1A/2/3 plan, fine, but I don't think we should identify any particular mission as 2 or 3, since that never officially happened.

== 2012 Election ==

OK, I granted you the "re-election" vs. "election to full term after ascending to full term" point, but this is starting to seem silly. Everything I've added concurs with cited, verified information that is not original research on other Wikipedia pages. Unlike the only cited sentence in that section, the information is objective. The one and only citation in that whole section links to an opinion piece from a left-leaning publication. That is POV. The information I added was ''not'' POV—if it were, I'd have added something about how if a candidate as bad as Mitt Romney had been running against another candidate (perhaps even a white candidate), Obama would have made Reagan's 1984 landslide look like Truman's 1948 near miss—which I can cite. The edits are absolutely, 100% consistent with similar edits I made to the pages for the elections of 1812, 1832, 1892, 1916, 1940 and 1944 on that same day. Obama won rare victories, and he also saw atypical losses. If you can copy edit/simplify, great. I appreciate it. Please stop removing factual and verified and objective information because you're assuming bad faith or because it's any less "cited" than anything else in that section.

== Invitation to look at edits on [[IQ reference chart]] ==

I see the article [[IQ reference chart]] has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in [[User:WeijiBaikeBianji/sandbox | my user sandbox]], I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page. 

I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Wikipedia). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published [[WP:RS | reliable sources]] on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a [[User:WeijiBaikeBianji/IntelligenceCitations | source list on intelligence]] since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Wikipedia and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the [[IQ reference chart]] article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened [[Talk:IQ_reference_chart#Update_on_updating_this_article | discussion on the article's talk page]] about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in [[User:WeijiBaikeBianji/sandbox | my user sandbox]] shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- [[User:WeijiBaikeBianji|WeijiBaikeBianji]] ([[User talk:WeijiBaikeBianji|talk]], [[User:WeijiBaikeBianji/Editing|how I edit]]) 20:41, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Rillian, I've created [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Georgetown University|a proposal]] to begin a WikiProject Georgetown University. Since you've been active in editing articles related to Georgetown University in the past, I thought you might be interested to know of this proposal.

== [[Draft:Edwin Foresman Schoch]] ==

Dear Sir:
I take the liberty to contact You, an highly qualified Wikipedian with relevant competence in aerospace history, to draw Your attention to an article draft that I (an Italian 61 years old and a total newbie in Wikipedia) have recently submitted.

Even though I could have published the article by myself, I preferred to submit it to the «Article for Creation» process, and in fact previous reviewers gave me the opportunity to improve the draft further.

In a couple of weeks another honor - the New York State Conspicuous Service Cross - will be bestowed upon Edwin Foresman Schoch, a well-noted test pilot dead in 1951 on his 35th birthday while investigating metal fatigue issues affecting the McDonnell F2H-3 Banshee.

About the relevance of Ed Schoch, it suffice to Google for:

* https://www.google.com/search?&q=%22Ed+Schoch%22+%22Test+Pilot%22 (433 results)

* https://www.google.com/search?&q=%22Edwin+Schoch%22+%22Test+Pilot%22 (185 results)

About my draft, it was thoroughly researched, with 28 selected references cited. I'm in contact with Ed Schoch's son and I had access both to unpublished and published information - that I duly and extensively cited.

After being initially declined, my draft was extensively reworked.
I wonder whether You are in the position to approve it for publication, and whether you deem that it may be published.

Here is the link: [[Draft:Edwin Foresman Schoch]]

I am submitting this very same request to a few selected Wikipedians in the hope to get the article published before mid-January, when Governor Cuomo is expected to sign the bestowal act of the Conspicuous Service Cross to Ed Schoch.

Many thanks for Your attention, all the best and an happy 2021!

== Shannon Lucid ==

Hi! I've been working my way through articles on the original six women astronauts. I've already run five of them through FAC and am gearing up for the sixth and final biography, which is on [[Shannon Lucid]]. I need a co-nominator, and as it happens you are the next biggest contributor to the article after myself, with a whopping 12% of the edits and 11% of the text. Would you be willing to be my co-nominator? It requires no work on your part - I will do everything needed - I just need a co-nominator. In any case, have a merry Christmas.
