Conspiracy theory
Conspiracy theory is a controversial topic that may be under dispute. Please discuss substantial changes on the Talk:Conspiracy theory page before making them, making sure to supply full citations when adding information. That being said, the Lead section is ideally a general overview of the subject of the article. It is therefore inappropriate to use this section to present original research. --Loremaster (talk) 18:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Constructive contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism. In general it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing others' userpages without their permission. Instead, please bring the matter to their talk page and let them edit their user page themselves if they agree on a need to do so. Please refer to User page for more information on User page etiquette. Soxwon (talk) 17:55, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

This might also help to explain why "Tom harrison" is doing what he's doing...

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window.

Note
There is no right to edit wikipedia. Freedom of speech and Freedom of the press does not apply on this private website.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  22:43, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey, as long as Wikipedia does not accept vast amounts of funding from the public trough, then I suppose you are correct. However, many private Universities and other sources support and enforce the 1st Amendment under the penumbra of government protections and rights. If anything, Wikipedia should err on the side of providing too much protection under free speech guidelines as set out clearly in our Constitution.

 * I'm sorry, but no. Editing Wikipedia is a privilage, not a right.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  01:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Redirects
If I understand you correctly, you wanted to have a term redirect to some website outside Wikipedia. That, you cannot do. Redirects are by definition linked to articles within Wikipedia itself. There is no way a redirect outside Wikipedia can be created. That's a part of the integral structure of the project, not a design flaw. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC) (proud to be from the city that elected more Socialists for longer than any other major American city and glad to have escaped from Florida in 1971)
 * Hillarious? Which photo? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, that's not a jumpsuit. I have an entire collection of orange trousers, shirts, shoes, watches, socks, etc. I just like the color; started doing my "full orange" at science fiction conventions back in the 1970s, but also do it at union conventions, Democratic conventions, etc. (and yes, I do get ribbing from my union brothers & sisters in Corrections). If you google "Orange Mike 2004" you'll probably find various shots of me at the DNC that year (I was a Dean delegate for Milwaukee). -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  18:47, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Your question has been thoroughly answered by the blocking admin both above and below. — Travis talk  14:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Per http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:J.delanoy&oldid=286631142#Peterbadgerly, and after consulting a checkuser to verify, I am banning you indefinitely from editing any article or page related the the attacks made on September 11, 2001, and from editing any of the talk pages associated with those pages.

 * I caution you to stop misusing the unblock template, specifically Request accepted. You are not able to unblock yourself so please stop or you will find your ability to edit even this page restricted. — Travis talk  14:40, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Note: I am mostly correcting typographical erros, as can be seen in my history. Also, I did ad a few sentences. Please do not be angry, it's not my intention to misuse the template. I'm only trying to fix my writing for the historic record. I apologize. (Peterbadgely (talk) 14:45, 28 April 2009 (UTC)) Thanks in advance for reading my material. I look forward to contributing further and will certainly move away from the more fiery controversial issues into more mundane historical areas. (Peterbadgely (talk) 14:45, 28 April 2009 (UTC)) Esq.

Note to self: further information regarding this Travis person (who has never corresponded with me or asked me any questions reveals two pet peeves:

''Pet peeves People who run stop signs 9/11 Truthers - where common sense is anything but common to be continued''

What the heck does this mean? Is there an agenda among edoitors that I am unaware of now. What have I stumbled upon? I find this to be interesting--all over discussion of a simple title change.

Note for me: I saw that the Travis person above is listed as semi-retired but states that his purpose is to "swat vandals". This is disturbing! Is there an intimation that I am a vandal? Please refer to my purpose as stated on my home page. It clearly states that my purpose is nothing but NOBLE. This is very strange. It appears that there are circling birds waiting to be called on for the attack, if someone is not in a group think attitude. Again, IT IS THE PURPOSE OF PETERBADGELY TO PROMOTE NEUTRALITY AND IMPROVE WIKIPEDIA THROUGH USE OF VERIFIABLE SOURCES. Some verifiable sources may refer to controversial matters and truthful issues which may place government officials in an unfavorable (but neutral based on verifiable sources)light. Interesting verifiable facts will be added to articles, and NOW, the promotoion of the politeness code of Wiki. Also, there is a saying that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Peterbadgely will disuade those editors who engage in abusive banning and retaliatory editing to stop. AGAIN, this online source will be available hundreds of years from now. Peterbadgely looks at this publication with a wide view toward the future and wishes to contribute to its improvement.


 * You are welcome to disagree with my opinions, i.e. the pet peeves posted on my userpage, but casting aspersions at the very people attempting to explain things to you is certainly not helping your case. — Travis talk  16:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

3rd person
Unrelated to the above, why do you refer to yourself in the third person? I read all your edits in the voice of Kevin Pietersen now. It might have actually helped if you stopped doing that, but I think it's too late now. Verbal  chat  14:59, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have to agree; it adds a creepy tone to the posts, and makes people wonder about role accounts and the like. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

peterbadgely's purpose (My purpose)
''Peterbadgely, a recent addition to Wikipedia has a goal of improving the neutral point of view of Wikipedia articles, especially in the more controversial areas. Peterbadgely tends to stay in a particular subject matter until a problem is resolved for the benefit of Wikipedia members who will use this source in the centuries to come.

Peterbadgely also will add interesting verifiable facts to controversial subject matter which make the issue more interesting, understandable, and improved to the point of becoming a featured article.''

Thanks for addressing me directly, guys. I thought we had some very interesting and fiery discussions in the more controversial areas of this publication. It was enlightening and would have improved the publication. I have been in more fiery discussions in law school, but I had not been banned there, nor during my practice. The necessity of arguing is essential. If the administrators had read my contributions they would have seen that it is not single purpose. I had contributed very verifiable and interesting information to another article in my short tenure. The on line press put the light on the Controlled Demo area, so I thought I'd take a look. I saw that the title could be improved for the sake of neutrality. I took at shot at going through some discussions on the matter. Apparently, such discussions are off limits at Wiki, even if they will improve the publication. Wiki should really work at improving this portion of their publication to avoid a group think publication. If everyone is walking on egg shells during a "free" discussion, then an article will stagnate.(Peterbadgely (talk) 15:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC))
 * Use common sense, Pete. The "controlled demolition" term is a mere euphemism, since only a vast and singularly-successful conspiracy could have done such a thing. The only reason to remove the word "conspiracy" from the article title is the fact that conspiracy theories have a (deservedly) bad reputation. Your insistence in persisting in this quixotic crusade against widespread consensus is giving you a bad rep, and making you sound like you have a bad case of The Truth.-- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:51, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Das stimmt und das endet. I agree, and I'm off to the colonial era to take a look. Enough of the contemporary controversial stuff. History and the passage of hundreds of years allows one to have a different, yet tempered perspective, untainted by the contemporary social restraints. Thanks for the input, and I hear you loud and clear! (Peterbadgely (talk) 23:28, 30 April 2009 (UTC))
