Very useful Wikipedia articles

Stanley Cobb
Thanks for supplying the info on Sidney Cobb. I assume you are related and would be interested in your thoughts on this short article – any mistakes? I've also written articles on Frederic A. Gibbs and William G. Lennox. Cheers, Colin°Talk 17:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC)


 * No mistakes so far. I am looking through family archives for a photo. — Aetheling 21:50, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * How nice to find a family connection here on Wikipedia! A photo would indeed be delightful. - ikkyu2  ( talk ) 23:27, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Wolfowitz
I'm sorry you felt my edit of Paul Wolfowitz was Vandalism, I however do not feel it was. I noticed some other articles on living persons had their commonly used nicknames put with their name and decided to be bold and add it to his. Also I would appreciate it if you would sign your posts on my talk page next time.


 * To add a nickname to a biography of a living person, I recommend adding a complete sentence, like this: "Within the World Bank, Wolfowitz is known as 'The Prez'." Then, if possible, cite a public document in which this nickname is used. That way everyone will understand that this is not simply vandalism. If I might make a further suggestion: your edits will be taken more seriously if you first register with Wikipedia. Your talk page is actually the talk page for an IP address, not for you personally (unless you rent that particular IP address). —Aetheling 23:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Why reverted
The numbers you put into economics of new nuclear power plants on return on energy were taken out, solely because they weren't in the cited source. If you have a good source, please put them and the source back in. Simesa 19:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. I hope my explanation made sense to everyone. —Aetheling 21:29, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Disinhibited attachment disorder
Do you think this should be merged with RAD with a redirect as in general both forms get called RAD even if under ICD that's not accurate.

The RAD article is currently being peer reviewed (see top of talkpage) after getting GA, with a view to achieving FAC. Any help gratefully recieved. The peer reviewers said the See Also section should only contain articles not already linked in the text. Personally I like to have them all in one place in See Also, but I suppose it depends on how much one is prepared to compromise for the sake of a gong. 17:26, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the encouragement! The most difficult thing is that people keep giving me very firm but different instructions on how to do refs but copyediting type work doesn't seem to come naturally to me. I tried to emphasise the ICD a little more by sticking it first when mentioning the two - but most of the research seems to be done in the USA and the proposals seem to revolve around rewriting DSM. Nobody has ever heard of 'DAD'. They just use 'RAD' for both. Regarding getting FAC; I'm assuming that the banned sockmaster who used to control all the articles with his 6 socks will try to reappear at some point and I feel that if the attachment related articles have reached FAC they may be better protected because FAC reviews include reviewing content so in theory it may be less acceptable to corrupt them to promote individual therapies and non-mainstream theories. Its a bit of a learning curve though.Fainites barley 21:23, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

By the way - this is what SandyGeorgia said on See Also's - and she should know ! - "Ideally, the See also section is minimized in an FA-quality article. Items should be worked into the text if relevant, and need not be repeated in See also if they're already in the text." Fainites barley 22:04, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

There you are look ! I'm also in trouble for not knowing the difference between endashes and hyphens - but my laptop only does one sort of little line. Fainites barley 20:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

To me a mackintosh is something to keep the rain out (though not very well). I only have - or _. Sometimes the first one comes up shorter than others in what appears to be a random fashion. Fainites barley 07:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! If only someone had told me weeks ago. The other thing I can't find is a sort of ;amp thing that people put in instead of ampersands. Fainites barley 16:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

deMause
I have replied to your great input in Talk:Lloyd_deMause.

In that talk page you state:


 * "It seems to me that deMause has contributed ideas to the social sciences in two distinct areas: (a) the frequency and severity of child abuse in European history, and (b) the fantasy-life of nations. The second of these two areas is distinctly speculative and non-scientific, and I have little use or respect for it. The first, on the other hand, contains original and important scientific hypotheses that someday will be verifiable with empirical data."

It seems that we share exactly the same pov about deMause! I also dislike psychoanalysis. In fact, I'm a fan of psychoanalysis' greatest critic, Jeffrey Masson.

Just a minor observation. DeMause didn't publish his seminal monograph in 1978 but in 1974.

Since you are professional matemathician, perhaps you might be interested to add the data you placed in the deMause's talk page into the Journal of Psychohistory article? I already copied and pasted some of the info you provided us to that article's talk page as well as in talk:Psychohistory

Cheers!

—Cesar Tort 22:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * suggestion: dont get carried away by your enthusiasm. It will interfere with the proper NPOV expansion of the article. In history, "speculative and non-scientific" is a valid part of the subject.  DGG (talk) 01:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Reactive attachment disorder (again)
Hi. I've put this up for FAC, here According to SandyGeorgia I have to find people to review it. You're the only Psychologist I know! Would you mind awfully adding your twopennorth. Thanks. Fainites barley 22:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I also asked Matisse on SandyGeorgia's advice. Then I went to the list of psychologists at the Project and asked a psychologist called Doczilla. I also left a message at the neuroscience project. The trouble is, even alot of psychologists don't really know that much about attachment, let alone RAD. The Psychology Project seems pretty moribund. I'll go through the list of psychologists and see if any of them have put down Child Development as an interest. Thanks. Fainites barley 08:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments Aethling.Fainites barley 21:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Got the little star! Many thanks for your timely and comprehensive support. Fainites barley 16:07, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Peer review idea
Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Peer review/backlog.

There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).

If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 00:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

psychohistory & psychoanalysis
Hi Aetheling, I agree with you. Psychoanalysis is no longer credible. In 2006 I used to edit one of the articles of psychoanalysis' main critics: Jeffrey Masson. I've not edited that article for a while but Masson is in fact one of my personal heroes. Which academic area do you think would be suitable for anyone interested in creating a post- (i.e., non-psychoanalytic) approach to psychohistory? Take a look at the article I'm starting to edit: Infanticide. Regards :) Cesar Tort 05:52, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Jeffrey Masson is one of my heroes too, though I don't have such a bleak view of psychiatry. I favor an approach to psychohistory from the perspective of modern trauma theory, with a heavy emphasis on (a) the effects of early trauma on the developing brain, especially the amygdala and hippocampus, (b) the effects of such brain damage on the psyches of growing adolescents, (c) the treatment by society of adolescents who act out, or dissociate, or are hyperactive, or any of the other effects of abuse, and (d) the effects on society of having a large fraction of the population grow up with PTSD or some of the other dissociative conditions, and insecure forms of attachment. Many of my ideas are spelled out briefly in this essay: The Persistence of War. — Aetheling (talk) 06:33, 3 April 2008 (UTC).

Request for Peer Review help
Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.

1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...

2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.

3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.

Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 21:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Complete list of United States Supreme Court cases submitted to peer review
Hi. I found your name at Peer_review/volunteers and thought I'd let you know that I've submitted List of United States Supreme Court cases (formerly Complete list of United States Supreme Court cases) for peer review here and thought you might like to comment. Thanks.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 13:57, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. It was brought to my attention that I asked too many people to comment. Looks like you're off the hook if you want to be.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 00:01, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

requested PR
Hi Aetheling,

I noticed your name here.

I have requested a peer-review on Satanic Ritual Abuse. I would be much interested if you could present your views on the present state of the article. Here: Peer review/Satanic ritual abuse/archive1

This is one of the subjects in which I disagree with deMause. I do believe that if he and the psychohistorians got rid of this stuff and accepted a rigorous epidemiological approach to PH, the field could get much more attention.

Regards,

—Cesar Tort 20:08, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks and a request
Thanks for signing up at Peer review/volunteers and for your work doing reviews. It is now just over a year since the last peer review was archived with no repsonse after 14 (or more) days, something we all can be proud of. There is a new Peer review user box to track the backlog (peer reviews at least 4 days old with no substantial response), which can be found here. To include it on your user or talk page, please add. Thanks again, and keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:46, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Peer review request for the article about Igor Panarin

Greetings from WikiProject Statistics
Welcome to WikiProject Statistics

I noticed you recently added yourself to the list of participants, and I wanted to welcome you to the project. Our goal is to facilitate collaboration on statistics-related articles. You may like to add the project's userbox to your user page: User WikiProject Statistics. We also have a statistics portal that's worth a visit.

Here are some suggested activities that you may consider tackling.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the project talk page. &mdash;G716  &lt;T·C&gt; 01:46, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Request for study of page creations
I saw your analysis and study of vandalism in the signpost, which was very useful, however, I notice that the Wiki has new pages created at very fast times, just by seeing the main page, I noted that there was a greater number of articles in the main page article count than the main page in another tab that I have opened five minutes earlier, I believe this is very curious, and because I lack your skills, I hope that you can help me to analyse the page creation rate and how useful the newly created pages are, thank you.

ASA Panel?
Hi, I saw on WikiProject Sociology that you will be participating as a panelist in the 2011 Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association. I am a Wikimedia Foundation staff member currently working on the Public Policy Initiative, in which we're working with professors at universities across the country to incorporate Wikipedia-editing into the classroom as a teaching tool. I also studied sociology at UC Berkeley and like to think of myself as a sociologist (at least at heart), and have gone to ASA annual meetings before and have some connections in the sociology academic world. I would like to help out in any way I can. For example: I would love to help out as a panelist (or co-panelist), a presenter, an exhibitor, etc. Which panel will you be sitting on and is your topic related at all to the topic of using Wikipedia as teaching tool? I am definitely interested in collaborating with you on that too if it is. Please let me know. Thanks! Annie Lin (Campus Team Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 22:09, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe we can even try to organize/propose a panel or roundtable on the topic of Wikipedia's role in academia, technology's role in academia, or just innovative teaching in general. What do you think about this? I'll contact Piotr too about this idea. Annie Lin (Campus Team Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 22:12, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Malthusian Catastrophy
Aetheling, I responded to your comments on my talk page.Jdkag (talk) 07:07, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

nugacity
Thanks for the corrections. On a minor point, though minor points are often critical, I checked for American usage here in Webster, which would justify 'and try'. Coming from a different idiomatic background, I refer to Gower's ed. of Fowler's Modern English Usage (1965) OUP 1983, writing of 'try and' has: 'It is an idiom that should not be discountenanced, but used when it comes naturally.' My slight hesitation over a drafted 'to try to', led to 'try and' purely for euphonic variation. But as it stands, I have no objections. Best Nishidani (talk) 18:10, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, I understand. Thanks for explaining. Fowler notwithstanding, I personally avoid "to try and" like the plague. When I hear this construction, it signals to me that the speaker is unaware of how English infinitives work. Most unilingual speakers of English are not, of course, aware of such things, so I give them some latitude. For all others speakers, and for formal written English such as would be employed in any encyclopedia, I am frankly and unapologetically intolerant. — Aetheling (talk) 18:35, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually I've no problem with your edit, just with your edit justification that what I wrote was ungrammatical, which according to Fowler, Gower, Websters, etc. it is not. The construction is a commonplace of nineteenth century prose masters as diverse as Carlyle, Emerson, Henry James, Melville, Ruskin and Arnold. I commend, because I share, the exercise of unapologetic intolerance on things like the niceties of grammar. The problem there is, as I hinted, that our differences on this issue refract distinct cultural tunings (Sprachgefühl:perhaps a different diet of prose in youth, mine are partially listed above) rather than the rights or wrongs of a grammatical form. But thanks. It's things like this which perk up my eyes and ears, that tend to flop and blur at my age.Nishidani (talk) 22:26, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

The Great Revival: CVU Vandalism Studies Project
Hi! We're dropping you this rather unexpected message on your talk page because you signed up (either quite a while ago or rather recently) to be a member of the Vandalism Studies project. Sadly, the project fell into semi-retirement a few years ago, but as part of a new plan to fix up the Counter-Vandalism Unit, we're bringing back the Vandalism Studies project, with a new study planned for Late 2012! But we need your help. Are you still interested in working with us on this project? Then please sign up today! (even if you signed up previously, you'll still need to sign up again - we're redoing our member list in order to not harass those who are no longer active on the Wiki - sorry!) If you have any questions, please leave them on this page. Thanks, and we can't wait to bring the project back to life! -Theopolisme (talk) & Dan653 (talk), Coordinators

Vandalism Studies Update - August 2012
Hello, members of the Vandalism Studies Project! As some of us are quite new with the Vandalism Studies project, it would make sense for us to re-read some of the past studies, as well as studies outside the project. Please do so if you have a chance, just so we can get into the groove of things. We're planning on attempting to salvage the Obama study (or possibly simply convert it to a new Romney study), as well as hopefully begin our third study this November. If you have any ideas for Study 3, please suggest them! If you have any questions please post them on the project talk page. Thanks, and happy editing - we can't wait to begin working on the project! --Dan653 (talk) and Theo polisme  :) 11:30, 24 August 2012 (UTC) If you would like to stop receiving Vandalism Studies newsletters, please remove your name from the member list.

Speedy deletion nomination of All-Russian Mathematical Portal


A tag has been placed on All-Russian Mathematical Portal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. noq (talk) 19:08, 7 October 2012 (UTC)


 * This might be a good opportunity to introduce you to an unofficial attitude of the Wikipedia mathematical community: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN EDITING ANY WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE ON MATHEMATICS . These articles are very important to us, and to our students. We don't have time to correct a lot of ignorant mistakes. Use the Talk pages to raise issues: we shall respond thoughtfully. — Aetheling (talk) 22:58, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

hello!
Hello Aetheling! My attention was drawn to your announcement on the math project page, where you mentioned leaving a "sharp comment" on another user's talkpage. First of all, I totally identify with your situation (surprise at a sudden speedy-deletion without discussion) and sentiment towards the person responsible. That person's talkpage really did need a message to the effect of "you need to check how to use speedy-deletion again".

I would like to offer a few brief comments to offer on what you actually wrote, though. Most importantly, labelling an action like this as rudeness really does not assume good faith. Going on to comment on how uncivil they are being is along the same lines, and then flashing your credentials was definitely over the top. This all leaves the possibility for a bad reaction from the worst kinds of editors, when all you really want is to get their attention for being so careless.

In brief, it is not so unlikely that this person (along with many of us with similar credentials to you) has never heard of the Russian project. While that editor will definitely have to improve their tact, it's important to offer feedback with extra scoops of serenity. Happy editing! :) Rschwieb (talk) 13:03, 8 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Good advice, thanks. I shall be more temperate next time around. — Aetheling (talk) 04:55, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Simon-Ehrlich Wager
Hi,

In a discussion in 2008 you had mentioned that you could update the graph found at Simon-Ehrlich wager. Another user has since removed the graph, since it is truly out of date by now. See: Talk:Simon–Ehrlich wager. Not sure if you would be willing to consider updating the graph now? I would do it, but don't have the skills to make a professional enough graph. If you don't want to bother that's up to you. Thanks, Peregrine981 (talk) 09:09, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Seeking feedback on a guide for students who edit articles in cultural anthropology
Hi Aetheling, Wiki Education is developing a guide to help students edit articles related to cultural anthropology and we'd love to hear what experienced users think of our draft so far. I've solicited feedback on a few WikiProjects, including WikiProject:Anthropology, but haven't heard much yet. I wanted to reach out personally to experienced editors who have an interest in these topics to see if they'd provide feedback. Essentially, the guide is meant to supplement other resources that students consult, such as an interactive training and basic editing brochures. It would be great to get any feedback on the draft by April 18th. Would you be interested in taking a look? Thanks for considering! Cassidy (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:12, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jason Vest


The article Jason Vest has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Sole claim to notability is weak, and I cannot find any other independent coverage of this journalist."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. StarM 21:15, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Wikisurveys combine all these ideas, so I think you will enjoy reading about the topic. Would you be so kind as to peer review the Wikisurvey page I am working on?
