FDA vs FTC in Homeopathy[edit]
Extended content
|
---|
Hey, I like your recent additions to Homeopathy but it seems like you've interchanged "FDA" and "FTC" in the text a little. For instance the citation you added named "FDA2016" is actually an FTC document and although it mentions the FDA in passing, doesn't commit the FDA to doing anything. Likewise the next sentence talks about "an FDA press release" but the citation is to a press release on the FTC website. I was going to fix it for you but I figured you might still be editing and I just thought I'd call it out. --Krelnik (talk) 20:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC) |

Tyler Henry rebuttal section argument[edit]
Extended content

Hey, with all due respect, why in the world did you remove the rebuttal section in this article, here? Thank you for weighing in on the [talk page, here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tyler_Henry&diff=next&oldid=782698059] about your edit. However, your removal of this section has made the article one-sided and biased. I agree my edit was "too short," but what do you propose as the solution. Please don't complain unless you have a better idea. I mean, all that psychic stuff is spooky (and I honestly don't know whether it's true or not), but you have this huge section "against" the subject, and the small section "for" him was deleted, making a biased article even more biased. This is not encyclopedic. But, if you mean that my edit (adding the rebuttal section in right here) was too brief and curt, I would agree with you. Help me fix that, so the article is balanced and explains both (or all) sides of the issue. Thank you.96.59.177.219 (talk) 04:58, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

B&B AfD[edit]
Extended content
|
---|
I hope you see how you screwed yourself at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pink House (Melbourne Beach, Florida). I think you overestimated the degree to which editors would respond to your call that BnBs were involved in writing articles about these houses in order to help business. You kept adding new entries after the AfD started under that same rationale and the aggregate refused, preferring to keep NRHP sites. I made the case in my comment that GEOFEAT requires more than listing but you didn't make that case and you confused the issue. Sometimes you're going to do a good job of providing rationale and the aggregate will just vote per WP:ILIKEIT, which they do pretty often. Sometimes, however, you present a less-than-stellar case and you get your ass handed to you. I wanted to see deletions but that didn't happen and your AfD stats remain a pathetic 0% with consensus. Anyway, please learn this lesson and perhaps next time you'll be more successful. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:20, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Re: ATT Network block of IP 107.77.224.0/22[edit]

Hi Rob, I blocked that range because of how quickly IP addresses change within it, making it very easy for vandalism to slip by unnoticed or improperly reverted. See this page history (from my edit onwards) for an example of this). A lot of edits from that range are also vandalism. I think the vandalism risk is outweighed by the collateral damage in this case. As you said, users affected by that block can still log in to edit; it's also possible for them to create an account if need be. Graham87 14:09, 20 January 2018 (UTC) |
David Paulides page[edit]
Extended content
|
---|
I am not trying to start trouble, but I have some concern with the page on David Paulides. I don't think that it is a fair representation of him or his work. I totally understand and support skepticism, but I think in this case, it is a bit bias. Specifically, I'm referring to his missing 411 books. Reading through the information there, it seems as if it is intended to discredit him, instead of provide information about his work. I have personally read all of the missing 411 series and the information he presents is all fact based. The skeptics quoted were inaccurate in their portrayal, and they obviously had predetermined conclusions on the validity that influenced their reviews. He never once purported to know a cause or causes of the disappearances discussed, furthermore, he goes to great lengths to explain that he only listed and wrote about cases that fit a certain criteria of unexplainable circumstances. Which is contrary to what was said by one or more of the skeptics quoted. I won't take up any more of your time bringing up examples of how they are being misleading, but I would appreciate it if you could look into this a little further and maybe correct some of these things. Again, I'm not trying to be one of those egotistical guys, that thinks they know better, or gets off of on finding and pointing out perceived mistakes. I'm just pointing it out because I think it's a misrepresentation of his work. I also believe that people need to be made aware of the things he discusses so that they can be more careful when visiting the outdoors. I know his intentions are to educate people, not to frighten them. Thank you, regardless of what you end up doing with this information, I appreciate you taking the time to read this and hear my thoughts. -Dustin Dustin sharber (talk) 09:39, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

David Wolfe[edit]

Hi Rp2006! With David Wolfe, Forbes.com contributors are regarded as self-published sources, as they are more akin to bloggers with almost no editorial oversight. Thus, per WP:BLPSPS, we can't use articles by Forbes contributors to source material about living people. It tends to catch editors out, as the Forbes name would suggest that it is reliable, but the contributors are different and separate to their staff. - Bilby (talk) 04:27, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm not convinced addition of the NYT article by itself is enough of a difference to change people's minds. Looking over the old AfD, I see a few felt the article was self-promotional. I have noticed an interesting phenomenon with both good and bad articles at AfD: if it reads like an admiring writer milked every source for trivial details, people will vote against it on the basis that the editor is probably trying to promote someone or something, even though it is adequately sourced. If you would consent to let me take a hatchet to your draft article, I might be able to trim and copyedit enough to mitigate the impression of promotion. You could always revert to your old version if you disagree with my edits. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:36, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Just wanted to explain more about this revert. Totally agree with your wording, in substance, but the placement there is problematic, in that the editing out of misses wasn't a part of the portrayal of the show, nor does it belong as part of the official premise of the show, nor is it supported by the citation there, which is just to the show itself. It's true that the episodes did contain all kinds of supportive testimonies from audience members interspersed between segments. That said, I do see the editing criticism down in the skepticism section; if you have even more material, it'd be great to add it down there with the source(s).

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Alexbrn (talk) 20:29, 10 March 2019 (UTC) |

Hey, it didn't occur to me to ping you, but I would sincerely urge you to retract your nomination here and close the nomination as speedy keep. There's no realistic way the article is going to get deleted at this point, and it just makes you look like a better Wikipedian if you can admit a mistake. The kind of people who persistently double down when it's been pointed out that they are wrong are just the worst kind of people, who really should not be allowed edit Wikipedia at all, and yet a surprising proportion of the community (at least the ones active on several high-traffic fora I could mention) appear to be those kind of people. Taking this opportunity to say "I'm not one of them" would mean you get to come out on top even though your nomination failed, rather than just allowing the nomination to run a week and failing anyway.

DYK for Simone Gold[edit]
Extended content

On 11 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Simone Gold, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that anti-vaccine activist Simone Gold participated in the storming of the U.S. Capitol? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Simone Gold. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Simone Gold), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
Your DYK hook about anti-vaccine activist Simone Gold drew 10,996 page views (916 per hour) while on the Main Page. It is one of the most viewed hooks for the month of March as shown at Wikipedia:Did you know/Statistics#March 2021. Keep up the great work! Cbl62 (talk) 18:06, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Landsat 6 revert[edit]
Extended content
|
---|
Hello! You reverted my edit to the Landsat 6 page, writing: Citations cannot be to other WP pages… but I had not added citations to Wikipedia pages. There were two citation needed labels, one on The Enhanced Thematic Mapper was designed and manufactured by Santa Barbara Research Center., and the other on Landsat 6 was launched aboard a Titan II launch vehicle from Vandenberg Air Force Base on October 5, 1993.. Both of these facts are documented on the official Landsat website, which was already linked to but using an archived link instead of the current version of the page – which still documents these facts. Isn't that what we want here? You put back an old version of the page, on a non-WaybackMachine archive site, removed the two citations I had taken care of documenting, and commented "Citations cannot be to other WP pages" when nothing of the sort had been done here. We are unfortunately back to an article with to requested citations when a live and current page for the Landsat 6 program documents these facts. I don't understand this revert, and the seemingly off-topic note about citing WP pages. Please explain how this was wrong and how this was citing "other WP pages".

Discretionary sanctions warning[edit]This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
ArbCom notice[edit]You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use. Thanks, GeneralNotability (talk) 17:37, 10 January 2022 (UTC) Skepticism and coordinated editing arbitration case opened[edit]You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Skepticism and coordinated editing. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Skepticism and coordinated editing/Evidence. Please note: per Arbitration Policy, ArbCom is accepting private evidence by email. If in doubt, please email and ArbCom can advise you whether evidence should be public or private. Please add your evidence by January 31, 2022, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Skepticism and coordinated editing/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

I saw your recent concern about the allegation leveled against you in the workshop phase of the "Skepticism and coordinated editing" case to which you are a party. After consulting with the other drafting arbitrators, I have collapsed that discussion as it seems that Bilby has indeed withdrawn the allegation against you. I know you are likley unfamiliar with Arbitration so just a couple of notes on how Arbitration Cases work differently than other areas of Wikipedia. Only Arbitrators and Arbitration clerks may manage situations (as I did here by collapsing the section) so admins will generally do nothing, even when pinged. Further, as a party to the case you are invited, encouraged even, to participate. But please do so in the section labeled "Comment by parties". If you have any follow-up questions please don't hesitate to ask me here, on my talk page, or via email (either directly or to the Arbitration Committee). Barkeep49 (talk) 03:00, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Workshop procedures[edit]You recently commented at the workshop, with a ping to me: diff. If you comment, it must be very mild with no indignation or other emotion. Stick to the facts. Do not mention me or any other editor as if our opinions mattered—they don't. At an arbitration case, the only people who matter are the arbitrators. Re the assertions you replied to, I have no idea what is being suggested. I searched the evidence and workshop pages for mention of "Dybbuk" but was not enlightened. There is mention on the evidence page but again I have no idea what the claim is. You should ask yourself whether you have any possible COI regarding The Dybbuk box. For example, did you write any of the references used? Have you interacted with the authors of any of the references used? (These are rhetorical questions—I do not want an answer.) If, after consideration, you believe you don't have the slightest COI, just state that in simple and direct language in the workshop. Next, you should consider how you came to be aware of the article and think about whether your comments might have been misleading, even if only slightly. I checked the article history. Your first edits were on 15 January 2019 at article talk, and the article: diff + diff. You didn't edit it again until 2021. The fact that you edited the article three years ago makes it even harder to see what the claims against you are. Again, if wanted, you could state what I've said as a plain fact with no emotion (don't mention me—I'm not relevant). You should strongly avoid the temptation to ping an arbitrator because they are super busy. However, if you want to discuss whether material on the workshop page should be either justified or removed, you could post a new section on workshop talk and ping one of the case clerks—see the list at the top of the workshop page. If you do that, stick to the facts and ask a simple question. If they do not see a need to take action, you must drop the matter. Bear in mind that what onlookers think is irrelevant. The arbitrators will discuss the case among themselves and if they think the claims are unjustified, they will ignore them. Johnuniq (talk) 06:28, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism[edit]
Extended content

---|
Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress. The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [14] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand. Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:28, 17 March 2022 (UTC) |

It looks like the page was created as someone trying to do promotion for the film in 2020 (seriously that first page is just promotional ad copied in).

New Age beliefs sidebar[edit]
Please be more discriminating when placing this template. You put it on the article of the 1901 book Cosmic Consciousness, which predates the New Age movement by 70 years. New Age is a movement and genre which started in the 1970s. Thanks. Skyerise (talk) 13:13, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
The same applies to articles about the New Thought movement, which started in the 19th century. Skyerise (talk) 13:17, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
The same applies to articles about concepts like the subtle body, which is part of Theosophy, another 19th-century NRM. Skyerise (talk) 13:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Skyerise: Interesting POV if true. Can you provide a source for the claim you are making here, basically that all beliefs considered New Age must have originated AT THE TIME or after the new age movement began, and cannot include beliefs that preexisted that date and were adopted by people calling themselves New Age? Rp2006 (talk) 23:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- You've got that backwards. Any article that is represented as a New Age practice must back that up with supporting text about how it is a New Age practice, who considers it so, and what New Age groups or practitioners practice it, along with supporting citations. Any article that does not should not be in the category in the first place. All categories, as well as nav templates, etc. must be supported by the articles they reference. "New Age" is not a synonym for alternative, fringe, occult, or spiritual. It is a specific socio-cultural movement and genre which began in the 1970s. I just recently cleaned up the related categories and templates of articles which do not support inclusion with both text and citations that they are considered "New Age". Until supporting material is added to these articles, no template should claim them as "New Age". Templates don't normally include citations so the article itself must. For further details on this aspect of policy, see WP:CATCITE. Skyerise (talk) 23:47, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Skyerise: Interesting. Is there any more WP guidance regarding the proper use and proper context of sidebars? That word appears just once in all of the WP:CATCITE you linked to. So it is not at all clear to me the interplay between what that page is all about - categories - and what you are taking exception with: my adding those sidebars.

- Categories, list articles, and navigation templates don't include citations, so the articles they link to must support their inclusion. See also WP:BIDI - nav templates should only be added to articles for links which are included in the template. See also Wikipedia:Navigation_template#Navigation_templates_provide_navigation_between_related_articles, which states "If the articles are not established as related by reliable sources in the actual articles, then it is probably not a good idea to interlink them." So a "New Age" nav template should only link to articles in Category:New Age, and articles in that category must support their inclusion with cited discussion of the reasons and sources that support that inclusion.
