RE: Police Officer[edit]

I think your making a mistake with that article, because "bobbies on the beat" is a generic term, well known within the English community. Personally, I think you are making a mistake. But if you insist that they should be just "bobbies", I will leave it that way, I dont want to upset you, and I could not see anything on the talk page either. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) 16:03, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just added comments to the talk page - sometimes you have to wait a minute or two for these things to appear. I added a number of references to indacate what "bobby on the beat" means. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I replied, please see the talk page. Thanks, Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) 16:09, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I provided a link at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities#Secular_Humanism_-Dead_or_Alive.3F_.28Insert_spinning_joke_here.29.... That link used to be on the James Dobson page on Wikiquote, but it's not there any more. Corvus cornixtalk 18:53, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A quick search of the the Focus on the Family website finds the quote you are probably looking for. [1] Note that it's not a quote by Dobson: he is quoting someone else. DJ Clayworth (talk) 19:05, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ruben Naranjo article deletion[edit]

Hi there, I just wanted to clarify the entry I was writing on Ruben Naranjo. 1) I know that I mistakenly made the article public before completing it and should have made sure everything was right first and tested it in the sandbox, if needed. 2) Yes, I took a substantial amount of text from the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center website, which I mentioned at the end of the article. However, I was only using it as a starting point, was in the middle of adding citations when it was deleted, and was also in the midst of completely rewriting it and adding other sections and content from different (cited) sources.

I intend on continuing my work on this entry, and will comply with all Wikipedia guidelines as to article creation and source acknowledgement before making it public. I just wanted you to know that I was sincere in creating the article and not some vandal.

Thanks

Proposed deletion of Charles Peattie[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Charles Peattie, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Why you delete the information about Grigiry Grabovoi?[edit]

In the article "Resirrection" you delete the information about his Teaching how to Resurrect people and to stay Immortal. You call it "fringe". Thousands of people all over the World believe it and there are 3 legal Churches of Grabovoy in the USA. Maybe I don't believe in other religions, which speak about Resurrection, so should I delete all the info about Christianity for example? I may think all the Bible is "fringe". Do you know how many times this book has been edited and re-translated? What's the authenticity of Bible? Grigory Grabovoi has numerous witnesses, whose evidences have been notarized. --Born Immortal (talk) 15:22, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sir,

In the World there are just a few religious or esoteric groups, which believe in the possibility of Resurrection in Physical Bodies. I think it's a must to give the information on the "Resurrection" page about all of them. Also note, that among these few, even fewer have a proof or have a Knowledge how everyone can Resurrect any other person. Grabovoi is a scientist, not only a psychic, so he documents all the cases. Also, in his Doctor's Dissertation, basing on mathematics and quantum physics, he has proved the possibility of restoration of any object. His Disertation is called: "Applied structures of the creative field of information". It was a discovery. I've given links to his books, and it's possible to find all the witnesses and notaries. Have you ever heard about something like that? And you think it doesn't deserve a listing? --Born Immortal (talk) 18:14, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

why block me editing my talk page?[edit]

this still should not stop me editing my page. this is my page, just like you changed my last edit back after i deleted it this should also not have had me bloacked from my own edit page. i will delete the last edit you did on page again and if it is changed b ack i will report it as vandalism. thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ford1206 (talkcontribs) 00:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The point being that if your talk page is supposed to be a record of what is said to you, deleting things from it is going against that. Amd if you won't stop removing warnings then you will be stopped. Also some of your edits were personal attacks, and they will be removed wherever they are found. Feel free to report me for vandalism if you like, but it won't make any difference. DJ Clayworth (talk) 13:24, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

so there is nothing stating that the warning cant be removed then you are making you own rules. the talk page is mine, i can have anything on there as long as it is not attacking anyone it is alright. thank you.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ford1206 (talkcontribs) 15:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PENN Reels[edit]

Hi,

You deleted 2 of my articles today. I realize now (after reading through some of the rules and I was in violation of almost all of them) I am the web developer for that company as well as several other fishing companies, just so you know where I am coming from. I want to put information about these companies on this site because a.) there is none (except for Shakespeare Fishing tackle and that information is out of date) b.) The parent company Jarden has a page (out of date as well) and c.) I have access to a boatload of information about fishing that people would like to be able to see in this forum. So, you can either help me get used to posting on this site, or we can go through this again.

Let me remind you, Jarden is a multi-billion dollar company with more personnel and assets than you can shake a stick at. You will not hinder my project of getting CORRECT information about Jarden and its subsidiaries on Wikipedia for long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbhumphrey (talkcontribs) 19:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

terraskin[edit]

My article on terraskin was removed due to violations in advertising. I am looking to try and rewrite this article so that it fits the guidelines. Could you please refer to me the parts of the article that need reworking. I am only looking to post facts about this product and am in no way interested in promoting any business. I see many products in your database such as gortex, kleenex, tyvek, teflon, etc. Many of these seem more advertising based than what I was trying to post. So obviously I am very confused as to what is acceptable and what is not. Any help in leading me toward the proper direction would be a great help. Thank you ahead of time for your understanding. Bobbyksehgal (talk) 19:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A few things:
  1. Try to write about the generic product, not the Terraskin proprietary product.
  2. Remove the FAQ section
  3. Don't use TM all over the place
  4. Make sure you read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Spam.

DJ Clayworth (talk) 19:40, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I am trying to inform readers what the possible uses are and what this product could mean to the future of sustainable packaging as well as reducing global pollution and greenhouse gases, I feel I am on a slippery slope btwn advertising and informing. Taking out the FAQ and TM signs will be easy. I also realized I probably put too much comparison to regular paper, which can also be fixed. But could you expand a little more on #1 for me. I realize I am asking a lot of questions, and for that I apologize. Your help is most appreciated. Cheers! Bobbyksehgal (talk) 21:28, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I meant was, if there are other non-wood paper products out there, try writing an article that is applicable to all of them, not just to the specific product "Terraskin". Assuming there are other such products, they probably have a lot in common. DJ Clayworth (talk) 21:31, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kleenex, Teflon, Gore-Tex, and Tyvek are all products that have similar entities on the market, yet they do not refer to them at all in their wikipedia entries. I built my entry by studying these products whose entries were added, yet did not advertise. Paper made from stone is not exactly an everyday product. I found only two other types online. I figured speaking of these products would make readers see differences in the products by direct comparison. Which is blatant advertising. So I am more confused now. I think I will just try again and hope for the best. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobbyksehgal (talkcontribs) 22:43, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I mean is that the entry on Kleenex is very short, talks largely about the company and trademark related items and links to facial tissue and bathroom tissue, the generic products. Those linked article contain most of the information about the products. If the Terraskin product is truly unique, then there isn't a generic product to write about. However it's also a matter of tone. The Kleenex article doesn't put Kleenex in a particularly good light, or explain why it is better then competing products.

Please re-consider your decision. Sikh Extremism means calling all Sikhs 'extremists'.--Singh6 (talk) 03:01, 9

November 2008 (UTC)

Hi DJ Clayworth, while I might agree the problem is more to do with style rather than content, like all faiths we have examples RSS or Islamophobia, Al Qaeda etc..which are on Wikipedia, Sikh Extremism DOES exist otherwise their wouldn't be so many sources and articles devoted to the matter (or the same number of death threats to match) I hope that is proof in itself that warrants the subject matter.

Obviously the same extremists will oppose this, but that would be cowing into mob rule as was the case of Behzti.

Also many of the references are from mainstream websites, like the BBC or CBC which are not POV sites, but are criticised by Sikh Extremists fro being just that, neither was the journalist Kim Bolan, who received death threats, for exposing Sikh fundamentalism.

A lot of Sikh extremists are free to post on here including Singh6

I would add that no admin has refused to have this article, I asked Jeff G and MOP

Hi, this article is not POV as suggested by User:Singh6, its simply dealing with the issues surrounding religious fundamentalism no one is suggesting all Sikhs are extremist, but some may well be- its s fact of life. I WIll be taking this to the discussion page) I will stress again, that bullying admins into removing subjects surrounding religious fundamentalism is not in the interest of free speech or Wikipedia.

Sikh extremism[edit]

You, User talk:59.164.100.127, an editor, who is publically calling opposition as "Canadian Gaddars" - means - "Canadian Traitors", is definitely an extremist person and your edits are definitely under watch. --Singh6 (talk) 19:05, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Everyone. Let's be clear that it is perfectly OK for an article on Sikh extremism to exist on Wikipedia, just as there is for other forms of extremism. I said this above and you will hardly find an admin to disagree with this. However the article must be neutral, factual and referenced. Let's not label individual editors, as 'extremist' or otherwise. An individual edit should be judged on whether it is neutral and factual. We don't discriminate against editors for their views, only for the quality of their edits.
Finally let's take everything we want to say about this article to the talk page. The discussion here is closed. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:06, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Threats[edit]

Which threats are you talking about? Can you please pinpoint the exact details? "AfD challenge" is not a threat. It's not against any policy. I am not threatening to kill anybody. Others want to delete an article to which I've contributed, and I'm fighting bravely against them. Best, Dave. 59.164.105.254 (talk) 17:13, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I have restructured the article with correct modifications in the section names so that theose could be related with the information below them.

Since you voted in favour of keeping this article, it is only fair that you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sikh_extremism#Wikipedia_being_used_as_a_propaganda_platform , which is an indepth analysis of the article. Thanks--Sikh-history (talk) 08:37, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sikh Extremism[edit]

Can you kindly advise on what to do about the vandalism on the above article ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sikh_extremism&action=edit&undoafter=257050994&undo=257051652

Names of journalists such as Terry Milewski have been altered and the article on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahraz_Darshan_Das_Jee has recently been deleted (incidentally he was assassinated in 1987 by Sikh extremists) I have been informed by other editors such as Enzuru about the eerie goings on by the pro-extremist sikhs and talk pages.

It needs to be reverted to an earlier as the POV tagging is becoming another side issue.

User roadahead claims the article is false despite the numerous research and news refereces including Globalsecurity which has also been erased from the article. Thank you Satanoid (talk) 14:06, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Satanoid, before you accuse others of vandalism, please note your own history of Vandalism:

I am not the primary author of this article and I luckily came across it while following an extremist editor i.e. author of this article, i.e. User Talk: satanoid. I had a chance to read Sikh extremism and the original article Khalistan movement and 'found it a distorted form of existing wikipedia article Khalistan movement only. This bad faith article has been created by User Talk: satanoid to satisfy his own extremism and spread hate WP:POV against Sikhism only. It is necessary to go through his history to understand his actual motive behind creating such hateful article which does not make any sence.

  • His initial Biography
  • Here is the list of all the IP addresses (registered to Easynet Ltd, BSkyB Broadband) which he has used so far:

  • Here he has mistakenly proved his link with one of above mentioned IP Addresses.
  • He was blocked several times because of his same hatefull acts but wikipedia could not find a permanent solution so far.
  • He is simply using his manipulation skills to spread baseless hate against a religion, which he hates, through this article. Remember, He can delete contents from an editor's talk page and 'can put the blame on the victim immediately afterwards. He, through Sikh extremism, is manipulating information from Khalistan movement in a similar way to spread hate WP:POV against Sikhism on Wikipedia. Khalistan movement was a political movement similar to Indian independence movement. Both of these came into existence because of major independence issues felt by certain citizens of their respective countries. --Irek Biernat (talk) 03:29, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Also note the current warnings you have recieved from other editors regarding your uncivil remarks.--Sikh-history (talk) 16:08, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use my talk page to argue with each other. I will have a look at this article again. Please remember however that adding a fact that you happen to believe is false is not vandalism. Nor is deleting a fact that you happen to think is true. If you have complaints about another user that you think an administrator can help with please go to Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention.

Love Systems[edit]

Hi DJ Clayworth,

I was working on a "company page" and I wanted to make sure several Wikipedia admins would approve the page. Whenever you have time, could you give me some pointers on how to improve the page? The page has to go through a DRV before it can get back up. Any feedback is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance. Coaster7 (talk) 01:13, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
