Speedy deletion nomination of Gipper
Hello Ed Poor,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Gipper for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Anastasia &#91;Missionedit&#93; (talk) 20:12, 20 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I think this was a false alarm. Page got vandalized, but should still redirect to the proper place. agt x  20:14, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Walter Scott lead
Hi, I just wanted to further explain my revert. We're summarizing the state case in paragraph 3 of the lead, and the federal case in paragraph 4. Things are less clear if you intersperse them just to keep events in a chronological sequence. Hope that helps. &#8213; Mandruss  &#9742;  18:23, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Your editing restriction
Looking through WP:RESTRICT, your entry struck me as one we could probably do without, so I am apprealing to ArbCom to remove it. The appeal will be at Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:01, 25 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Beeblebrox. I had long been wanting to appeal the restrictions, but wasn't sure how to do it or whether I had any chance of succeeding. In any case, I think I may finally have learned how to "go with the flow" and "not insist on my own way" when disagreeing with others about how NPOV should be applied.


 * Now that 10 years have passed - has it really been that long? - I'd like to be able to edit articles touching on intelligent design and the Unification Church again. I promise to be gentle and yielding, okay? --Uncle Ed (talk) 02:52, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

On Mark Levin's article. Need help.
Ok, so recently I've tried to edit the section of the Wiretapping Allegations to put it in a true, neutral POV. I have reverted the article twice do to edit conflicts among the other users. So I've decided to try to reach a consensus on the talk page of the article. Could you perhaps back me up here? From what I can tell, the latest edit by User:Boneada and  City O f  Silver  do not appear to fall under WP:HONEST, but rather WP:DISHONEST.

I'm trying to clean up the section of the article as it is not only short on content, but I feel that it is to an extent, may it be direct or indirectly favoring one side. The second time I reverted the article was back to User:Localemediamonitor's edit since it had a more neutral and fair point of view than mine. But  City O f  Silver  undid it and continues to say that I fall under WP:OWN when I do not. I've contended this and yet he is adamant on saying that I'm essentially trying to be the arbiter of this. I retracted some of my previous statements, calling them bias, but at the same time, I do feel that they aren't exactly clean on this either.

Please help reach a consensus on the article. That's my only request. As you advocated for and as Bollyjeff  advocated for, I'm pretty sure we want to article to be fair and fall under WP:HONEST.

I've sent a similar request to Bollyjeff  regarding this matter. Kirby (talk) 13:34, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed article rename
I've proposed to rename Mind control to Brainwashing. I'm letting you know since you contributed to the article. Redddogg (talk) 23:18, 8 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't care what the article is called, as long as we make a clear distinction between (1) the sort of brainwashing developed by the Chinese Communists during the Korean War, which had actual documented effects on American prisoners of war and (2) the theory of mind control presented by anti-cult scholars (and deprogrammers) who accused various new religious movements of doing the same thing as the Chinese Communists, but which theory was deemed "not scientific" by the APA. --Uncle Ed (talk) 14:53, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Supply-side economics
Hi Ed, you added some content to this article, and I wanted to thank you for doing so - the article was fairly one-sided before. However, for some of the content it is not clear where the information is being sourced to. Could you make sure that at the end of each paragraph you add the source in, and if one source applies to multiple sentences/paragraphs, then you add in duplicated references, e.g. content More content ? Thanks! Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 20:36, 10 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Okay, but that's like asking me to wash the dishes ... I'll get around to it eventually ;-) --Uncle Ed (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Can you help avoid an edit war, Ed?
Good morning, Ed. We worked together editing the United Express Flight 3411 incident.

I am now working on an article about West Montrose, Ontario, a village in Canada, and need an unbiased editor to take a look at the lead. Another Editor deleted most of it, in spite of discussions in Talk that the content of the lead was fine. If I read the discussions correctly, there has been no consensus at all that much of the lead should be deleted.

(I did delete a photo of an Old Order Mennonite horse and buggy because the photo was not taken in the village, and editors' views differed strongly as to whether it was suitable or not. But that is no longer relevant since the photo is gone.)

This really needs a fresh look from someone not involved in the debates. If you have a few minutes, your involvement would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter K Burian (talk) 14:51, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello
I have found quite a lot of information and statistics regarding the immigration to Sweden, but there is severe controversy regarding inserting it into articles.

I am admittedly terrified from reading too much information, and having very limited mental filters, whereas the fact-sources that I have found seem to run contrary to other editors' personal ideologies, so we are not getting anywhere.

Given your help to turn the Gatestone article more NPOV, I wonder if you could make an assessment regarding which of the information links that would be acceptable for usage according to Wikipedia's policies, and where they should be inserted?



Thanks in advance for any help. David A (talk) 12:43, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires proper attribution
It appears that you have added material to the article Marine plastic pollution using content from http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0111913, which is available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license (not "copyright-free" as stated in your edit summary). While you are welcome to re-use licensed content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original author(s). When copying from other compatibly-licensed web pages, please at minimum mention in an edit summary at the new page where you got the content. It's also a good idea to place a note on the article along with your citation. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied licensed material before, even if it was a long time ago, please go back and provide attribution. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:29, 6 May 2017 (UTC)


 * This particular PLoS ONE article was apparently provided by its authors under the CC0 license (check way down at the bottom of the article). CC0 releases content into the public domain or, in jurisdictions which don't permit such a release, falls back to a public domain equivalent license.  The work really is "copyright-free", or the closest functional equivalent.
 * That said, it's still not acceptable to copy-paste a block of text into Wikipedia without attribution. Whether the text is public domain or not, it's still plagiarism if the original source/authors aren't credited.
 * It's also just an example of bad editing. Copying the abstract and two introductory paragraphs out of a full-length scientific manuscript (and omitting the internal supporting footnotes) strips the text of all context.  It's like creating an article about a novel by copying the back-cover blurb and the first page.
 * I'm frankly more than a little surprised to see Ed Poor – who is quite experienced – trying to create an article this way. Is something amiss? TenOfAllTrades(talk) 21:04, 6 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm awfully sorry that I did not attribute the article correctly. I guess I expected that edit summaries were enough. If you'll tell me the proper (complete) way to do it, I will fix it (this time) or do better (next time). --Uncle Ed (talk) 12:23, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * You did mention in your edit summary that the material was "from an expressly copyright-free source". A better edit summary would be "Attribution: content in this section was copied from http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0111913, which is available under the CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication license." Then, add the attribution with your citation, . Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:02, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
