User talk:Paulrach/Archive 3

Prophecy
The article was never protected. (Another example of not necessarily believing everything you read on Wikipedia.) User:Mrg3105 is not an administrator (he's not on WP:List of Administrators), so he doesn't have the ability to protect pages. There was nothing behind the notice that was put up. I removed the notice. As I see it this is simply an ordinary content dispute. Under the WP:BOLD guideline, editors are within their rights to make big changes to articles, but they do so at their own risk. Other editors can disagree, remove the changes, and insist on discussion before major changes to an article are accepted. Assuming good faith, I'd suggest chalking up the "protection template" to a misunderstanding, write a note on the user's talk page and start a discussion on Talk:Prophecy, and see if User:Mrg3105 might be willing to discuss or negotiate the changes he'd like to make. Suggest taking thimgs one step at a time from there. Whether you think the edits should be reverted or not prior to discussion is up to you, just be aware that repeated back-and-forth reverting is frowned on and the Three revert rule is designed to prevent it. I'll try and keep an eye on it but I'll be busy next week, you might want to contact another admin if something happens that needs immediate attention. Best, --Shirahadasha (talk) 21:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protection
The best way to go about that would be to request it at the request for page protection page. I can try and look at the history in a bit, but I'm a tad overwhelmed at this second, and may not get to it too quickly. Sorry. -- Avi (talk) 18:01, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Evangelical missionary
Are you an evangelical missionary?--mrg3105 (comms) ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ 12:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No. Why? Paulrach (talk) 07:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Just curious because I don't want to say anything you may find offensive. --mrg3105 (comms) ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ 09:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There's not much you could say that would offend me... and I think God is big enough to look after himself. I'm not being flippant or irreverent there. Personally, I think too many Christians (and those of other religious persuasions I suppose...) define God and then tell Him what He should be thinking and doing. This invariably leads to extremism of one sort or another. We may have differences of opinions....but isn't it those differences that make life so much more interesting.... Paulrach (talk) 21:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW I do have friends (and in-laws as it happends) who are evangelical missionaries... but they're probably wouldn't be offended either...mildly annoyed maybe...but not offended ;o) Paulrach (talk) 21:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Bahá'u'lláh
You have discovered something about his prophetic experiences?--mrg3105 (comms) ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ 23:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I have three questions
I made an edit today--one edit--to the article Carrie Prejean and have not made an edit to the article in days, but yet another editor reversed my ONE edit and then reported me on the 3RR notice board. I find this to be a clear use of Wikipedia to win a debate about article content and direction. Prejean was called a series of negative things by Perez Hilton, most of the words are contemptuous and vile, such as the b-word and c-word. There are editors that believe that each and every one of Hilton's use of those words MUST be included in the article about Prejean. Now, I don't see the need to have an article about Prejean dominated by the words and comments of ONE individual (highly negative words at that) dominate the life story of Prejean. It is tantamount to having the words of Saddam Hussein concerning George W Bush dominate the Wikipedia article about Bush. It violates Wikipedia avowed goal of NPOV and it violates BLP. Now, I know that consensus in Wikipedia editing is one of the goals, but consensus does NOT override other valid Wikipedia ideals such as BLP. There can be a compromise made where the gist of Hilton's highly negative opinion is included in the article, but at the same time it does NOT dominate the life story of Prejean. Prejean is notable for many, many reasons, not just her public fight with Hilton. She is notable for being a successful model; she is notable for participating in Deal or No Deal; she is notable for being the current Miss California USA; and she is now notable for being a TV personality. My first question is: Can you at least review the article and see if the second, third, fourth, and fifth repetitions of the b-word and c-word violates BLP? I believe that it does. And my second question is: Is it appropriate to make a report on an editor for violating 3RR even though that editor has only made one edit? And my third question is: Is misusing 3RR to win a debate on the proper interpretation of BLP appropriate? I don't think so.--InaMaka (talk) 15:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

 * The football and rugby editors have continued keeping abreast of most, if not all, of the top clubs.


 * WikiProkject Yorkshire editors have been busy on vandal patrol at watchlist. Thanks.


 * A big to all the editors who help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed.

 * Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008.

Specific aims for the project are:-


 * To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
 * To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
 * To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status
 * To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status
 * To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive
 * To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members


 * Popular pages

Arctic Monkeys fight it out with Dracula
The addition of the popular pages facility to the Yorkshire sidebar last month has thrown light on which of our articles Wikipedia readers actually access most. The first month for which there is complete data is September when Arctic Monkeys were in pole position with an average 6,869 hits daily. In second place with 5,781 was Wuthering Heights followed by Dracula with 4,996. The table is sortable on a number of attributes but the sort takes a while to complete.

As the page has a link to current data it is possible to see and compare current raw data for daily hits. So far the October statistics (up to October 20th) reveal that Dracula with 5,474 daily hits is well ahead of seasonal favourite Guy Fawkes with 4,411, and last month's favourite, Arctic Monkeys, are pushed into third position with a daily hit score of 4,259.

Three football clubs Leeds United A.F.C., Hull City A.F.C. and Middlesbrough F.C.get into the top 25 along with several pages about literary topics such as the Brontë family and their works. Television personalities are well represented, Jeremy Clarkson (4,559) is 4th overall in the list and Judi Dench is 23rd with a hit score of 1,577. Do the history topics in the top 25 suggest homework assignments?

It will be interesting to monitor the rise and fall of pages on the list which will also suggest where our efforts as a project might best be directed for maximum impact.


 * Please remember...

The project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis. The latest listing was created on September 4th.

Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible. Many of our articles would benefit from the addition of an appropriate infobox.
 * Monitor
 * Infoboxes

Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference.
 * References

Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR.

peaks' parentage
Hi. I've reverted your edits to List of peaks by prominence. If you're interested in the subject, you ought to read Topographic prominence. Just because a mountain peak is the highest in a large region doesn't mean it can't have a parent. —WWoods (talk) 23:29, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
