Speedy deletion nomination of Humanitarian Open Streetmap
Hello JamieWoodhouse,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Humanitarian Open Streetmap for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

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.

"Notable Sentientists"
Having a list of "Notable Sentientists" is fine. However, there needs to be a reliable source that directly states that person is a sentientist, either that you provide or that is already included in that person's article. Citing combinations of vegan/human/vegetarian/athie/-ism is a violation of WP:SYNTH. I hope that helps. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:14, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Category:Sentientist
Wikipedia policy requires that any category added to an article must be supported by information in the article. The majority of people you added this category to have no mention of "sentientism" in their articles, so I have removed the category. Please do not add it back until there is information cited from third-party WP:reliable sources or direct statements from the subject saying that they are a "sentientist", i.e. an article with "sentientism" in the title by the subject is not sufficient unless they make a positive statement of their views and identify as a sentientist.

You have a Conflict of Interest in regard to Sentientism
Hello, JamieWoodhouse. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
 * As the "leader of the Scientist movement" -- as I just read in an article -- you obviously have a conflict of interest (COI) in regard to any editing which involves sentientism, where it's in articles, or categories, or anywhere else on Wikipedia. You need to read our policies on WP:COI, and you should put a notice of your conflict at the top of your talk page, and on the talk page of any article you are conflicted on.  Obviously that includes Sentientism and any of the articles about people you claim are sentientists.

Thanks for the comment. I am not the "leader of the Scientist movement" or the leader of the Sentientism movement. Sentientism is just a worldview (in the same way as humanism, biocentrism or ecocentrism). While there are online community groups around Sentientism there is no organisation, no leadership and no funding or compensation. I think Sentientism is important so I am working to raise awareness of it - so there is a risk of bias. I will always try to ensure any edits I make or propose are neutral and well-sourced. I'm sure many edits to other "worldview" pages are made by people who understand and hold those worldviews - they work to resist bias too. The conflict of interest guideline states that "Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships". On that basis, I do not have a conflict of interest. Any further guidance is welcome. JamieWoodhouse (talk) 09:56, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
 * That was the way you were described in any artifcle. Regardless of the amount of huperbole in the description, it still means that you have a serious COI in regard to the subject matter, and should probably not be editing articles about it on Wikipedia.

MapleSoy (talk) 23:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Jamie; in my view, Wrenn meets WP:AUTHOR, as she "has created ... significant or well-known work ... [that has] been the primary subject of ... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". A Rational Approach to Animal Rights was reviewed in Contemporary Sociology, Relations. Beyond Anthropocentrism, and The Journal of Animal Ethics, which are all perfectly respectable academic journals. Perhaps you could incorporate these references, and then Maplesoy could revisit? Josh Milburn (talk) 10:28, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, I just thought of you as I was reading Critical Terms for Animal Studies. I know you've had some people raise puzzles about sourcing for claims that someone is a sentientist; on page 365 of Critical Terms for Animal Studies, Varner explicitly calls himself a sentientist; he names Singer and Sapontzis as sentientists on the next page. (On page 365, he mentions that the term originated in Rodman's "The Liberation of Nature", which I didn't know.) Josh Milburn (talk) 11:02, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Improving Corey Lee Wrenn
Hi Jamie, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Some ideas to improve this article:
 * Dividing into sections (e.g., education, career)
 * Talking about what she researches/what her books are about
 * Replacing primary sources with secondary sources as much as possible

Some general tips for future articles: we discourage the use of external links in the body of the article (I've removed these), and the references should go after the punctuation.

Have a great day!

- MapleSoy (talk) 20:28, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * MapleSoy's suggestions are all very good. I've moved things around a little in the article and it's definitely starting to take shape. Some discussion of her books/research would be a great addition. For example, it may not be too hard to put together a summary of A Rational Approach to Animal Rights based on the reviews. (I own a copy, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet...) Josh Milburn (talk) 17:56, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Sentientists
Hi, I noticed you are interested in adding sentientists. I have read your website and I occasionally listen to your podcast interviews. I am more interested in historical animal welfare or animal rights individuals or philosophers etc. I am not sure if you have heard of Guy Murchie before but you should check out his book The Seven Mysteries of Life (1978), there are some other historical examples of sentientists. Psychologist Guy (talk) 20:52, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi - thanks so much for the suggestion and for listening in to some of the Sentientism episodes. I'll have a look into Murchie - hadn't come across him before. Most of our "Suspected Celebrity Sentientists" here are modern but we have some interesting historical examples including Henry Salt, the Shelley's and Al-Ma’arri of course: https://sentientism.info/who-are-sentientists/suspected-sentientists. I found Norm Phelp's "Longest Struggle" a great historical overview. I think Steve Cooke the philospher is working on something currently too... JamieWoodhouse (talk) 09:45, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
