Paleoconservatives
You've been adding categories to articles that don't mention or have sources for their inclusion, such as Lester Maddox. Can you please review your work and make sure that the category is supported in each instance? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 04:17, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ditto for Roy Moore. Unless you can find sources for these categorizations please stop adding them. I'll follow your edits tommorrow and removed unsourced categories. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 06:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * In most of these cases in which I have added the individuals to the Category:Paleoconservatives, the basis for that characterization is inherent, within the article. It might not use the word "paleoconservative" (that is a rarely-used term, in the general discourse, and most people don't know what it means...) but if one reads the information already in those articles, regarding each persons' political viewpoints, their perspectives, and their public-policy actions, he/she can see that the basis is there.Pacificus (talk) 07:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You don't appear to be familiar with one of Wikipedia's foundatoinal policies, "no original research". An aspect of that policy is WP:SYNTH, which says that we can't make determinations on our own. If we don't have a reliable source that says Lester Maddox was paleoconservative, then we should not decide that he was one on our own. I'll give you some more time, but unsupported categories should not be added. It's no different from adding a sentence to the article saying that the subject is a paleoconservative. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 07:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Per my comments above, I've removed the category from articles where there was no assertion that the subjects are or were paleoconservatives. You're welcome to add them back once the articles have sources that call them that. While I was at it, I also deleted some redundant categories you'd added to the chairmen of the College Republicans. Since all chairmen were CR members there's no need to have both categories. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 23:20, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Also,I see you've made many additions to List of paleoconservative organizations, yet there are no sources for that list either. Can you add some so they don't all get deleted? Thanks. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 23:24, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

"Anti-immigrant hate group"
Pacificus, the term used in article on Sierra Club is NPOV and is an official, published designation by the Southern Poverty Law Center which is recognized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. When the FBI is invistigating a suspected hate crime, and wishes to know who is associated with whom in the white supremicist community, it collaborates with SPLC and uses their "social networking" research to develop leads. SPLC has identified both these groups as "anti-immigrant hate groups" and until recently there were refs to sources listed for them on the Sierra Club article. Many Sierra Club members think it important for others to know that these groups attempted to "take over" the leadership of Sierra Club in 2004. In my opinion, it is not appropriate to "sanitize" this article in this manner. The term is appropriate in this context. Please don't revert again or I will report it. Mervyn Emrys (talk) 19:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I am in the process of addressing this issue, on the talk page of the Sierra Club article. The Southern Poverty Law Center is itself a very-controversial organization (some of that is addressed in its article), and the FBI has nothing whatsoever to do with the Sierra Club immigration controversy, and has taken no position on that matter. Furthermore, as far as I know, the Diversity Alliance for a Sustainable America has never been designated, even by the SPLC, as an "anti-immigrant hate group" - That pro-immigration reduction organization's leadership consists largely of immigrants and minorities, and the 2004 Sierra Club candidate who is on the D.A.S.A. board is distinguished civil rights leader Frank Morris, Sr., the former Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. Furthermore, this "take over" was orchestrated by incumbent members of the Sierra Club Board of Directors, such as Captain Paul Watson. The talk page will soon be updated, and I may start an NPOV or Accuracy discussion as well, if need be.


 * Please do not issue any more threats, for something like this. This is a matter that should be resolved without needing to resort to any of that. Pacificus (talk) 05:56, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * So, is it your intention to defend white supremicists and trash everyone and everything that reveals the truth about their efforts? That does appear to be what you and your friends are doing, and I'm not the only one to notice. Mervyn Emrys (talk) 15:36, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Your sophomoric smears towards myself (and other Wikipedia editors), in response to legitimate, detailed, researched, and referenced discussion-page posts, are baseless and unprofessional (some of which I addressed in my three posts in this thread) - and not just because I myself am a non-white, "first-generation" immigrant myself. These unmerited and uncivil ad hominems are also in violation of several Wikipedia policies and core principles (including NPA, HARASS, and GOODFAITH).


 * Please stop doing this. As I said earlier, my contributions to Wikipedia have been done with the intent of improving and expanding this great resource. And as also mentioned before, we should be able to deal with these article-editing issues, without attacking each other personally (as was done here, and which I responded to, and which has recently been done elsewhere as well), or making false implications and assumptions about one another. Pacificus (talk) 22:03, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

For your information, it is noted on the WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard that the SPLC publication Intelligence Report which was questioned by two users "has been named at least twice by the Society of Professional Journalists in their Green Eyeshade journalism excellence awards " and may be used as a Reliable Source. It is also stated there that a link to an audited financial statement on the home page of the audited organization may be used as a Reliable Source. Have a nice day. Mervyn Emrys (talk) 15:51, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for, at least once, discussing the issue, instead of discussing the Wikipedia User raising it.
 * This same dialogue on this same topic, however, is right-now being held on other Wikipedia discussion pages, so it is not necessary, on my personal 'Talk' page as well.
 * In fact, I just discovered, via another User's response to your recent post on this Noticeboard, that this very issue has already been dealt with, and was formally "Resolved," several months ago. See here.  Thanks, Pacificus (talk) 08:31, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Terence P. Jeffrey
A tag has been placed on Terence P. Jeffrey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ttonyb1 (talk) 05:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * All I did was copy the text from a pre-existing Wikipedia article, but in which the subject's name was misspelled, and pasted that same text into a new article, which is titled with the corrected spelling. If there is a problem with the text of the article itself, please take that up with whomever wrote it, in the first place. Thank you!


 * Noticing this, I've looked into the matter. It appears that the text was copied from Wikipedia, not the other way around. I've moved the misspelled article to the correct spelling.   Will Beback    talk    22:59, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Eric Wallace (reporter)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Eric Wallace (reporter), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Eric Wallace. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:57, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Appreciate Your Input on Hispanic American Congress
I see where you're coming from in reference to this particular article because it looks like Spanish people are grouped with Hispanics to beef up the Hispanic categories (this applies to real life groups as well). But, I disagree on the general Hispanic-American list. "Latin" is used differently than "Latino", though it means the same in Spanish. "Latino" is used for mestizos and in this country is really used interchangeably with Hispanic. Most people see Hispanics as mestizos. "Latin" refers to anyone who is of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, or French heritage. Hispanic America has it's own page, White Hispanics have their own page. I don't know why there is no differentiation. Hispanic refers to culture from Spanish-language countries with ties to Spain. But, in terms of race, White-Hispanics who don't have native or African heritage, are just white. I don't call Spanish people White Hispanic. I call them Spaniards and white Europeans. Portuguese aren't even Hispanic, but Iberian. They don't speak Spanish. Why add the Portuguese and Italian man back. Italians aren't Hispanic either. Both of these groups definitely need to be deleted. I'd welcome your input here. --CreativeSoul7981 (talk) 17:54, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Okay, it seems you did leave out the Portuguese and Italian men I had deleted. --CreativeSoul7981 (talk) 17:57, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of African-American Republicans
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of African-American Republicans. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/List of African-American Republicans. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Category:Paleoconservatism
Once again, don't add articles to a category unless there's a clear reason, especially when it's living people.  Will Beback   talk    19:57, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I see (from the reverts) that this is in re: the Murray Rothbard and Justin Raimondo articles.


 * However, in the former article, "Old Right" (which is [naturally!] in "Category:Paleoconservatism") is mentioned, multiple times, with Rothbard called an "exemplar of the Old Right." Paleoconservatism is also mentioned, several times.


 * In the latter article, "paleoconservative" is mentioned once (though not in direct reference to Raimondo), and the "Old Right" & "American Right" are also discussed.


 * If the Category was named "Paleoconservatives", then it would be debatable, whether inclusion there constituted WP:SYNTHESIS. But, as the category is "Paleoconservatism", a philosophy which is clearly discussed, in both men's articles, I think they do warrant inclusion.


 * But this is a not a topic to be debating over; either way is fine, with me. Pacificus (talk) 03:15, 21 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't find a single mention of Paleoconservatism in Murray Rothbard. Maybe there should be, but there isn't. Where "Old Right" is a synonym isn't quite clear. Anyway, if the article say that the subjects belong to the PC wing then we can add the categories, but we shouldn't add it otherwise.   Will Beback    talk    03:55, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Wayne Rosenthal (politician)


The article Wayne Rosenthal (politician) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No real assertion of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Non-free rationale for File:Tony Snow with UIS College Republicans.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Tony Snow with UIS College Republicans.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
