Hello, Thank you for your recent edits to Werner Erhard and Associates v. Christopher Cox for Congress. It looks like you got a good start to sorting it out.--MLKLewis (talk) 19:01, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited W. A. Mathieu, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages William Russo and The Committee (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Fuller
Hi RA - I think you're not accomplishing anything significant by adding the Ph.D. to Fuller's name - note that the Wiki article does not include the degree as part of its title. If your goal is to establish some credentials for notability regarding Fuller, then it would clearly be more effective to append descriptive nominatives before his name - such as "former Oberlin College president and noted educational reformer." The Ph.D. is superfluous, unhelpful, and not especially notable. But the reason that it can't stay at that point in the article is because virtually no other personage in the encyclopedia is identified by his/her highest degree - and should not be - and because the Wiki article to which it links does not characterize Fuller's notability as having a Ph.D. - a degree which can be purchased by mail these days. regards, Sensei48 (talk) 16:57, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Please stop adding spam
Please stop adding links to scribID, it is a self published blog and cannot be used as a source nor as a external link nor can you attempt to bypass those restrictions by trying to hide it in a "Further reading". -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  23:50, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I will use the original publication, rather than SCRIBD.com. Thanks--RecoveringAddict (talk) 00:07, 31 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Please stop adding "Further reading" - Wikipedia is not a wall of links - its an encyclopedia. If there is important information in the source, use it as a source and add the info to the article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  04:48, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Redlinks are okay
Thanks you for your contributions. However, please stop unlinking redlinks to articles which might plausibly be written someday. They help Wikipedia get written. See the redlink guideline. Thanks. —EncMstr (talk) 23:20, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

IMPACT section edit removal
I added the study by Rabow because this paragraph needed more balance of objective, positive reactions to Erhard's work. As it is now written, the paragraph states that "The validity of Erhard's work and his motivations have been met with mixed reviews." Then it goes on to give examples of those reactions. Six out of seven of these reactions are at best skeptical, and mostly highly critical. I agree with you that this paragraph needs "re-phrasing towards actual balance." Citing the Rabow study is a valid addition here. --RecoveringAddict (talk) 00:33, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Mr. Erhard's Ongoing Projects
Hello RA - I should have stopped by here after I peremptorily rv'sd your 12/14 edit to explain why I did so and to counteract the bluntness of my edit summary, which should simply have read "unsourced POV." Your edit today that presents similar material in a factual, straightforward, and sourced manner is in my opinion an appropriate and welcome addition to the completeness of the article. regards, Sensei48 (talk) 03:41, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

New Age
Please see WP:OVERLINK. And do you really need to add the links one by one? My whole watchlist is clogged up. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 19:34, 5 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing me to WP:OVERLINK. I will keep it in mind as a guideline, so as not to create Wikilinks where they are not useful. In re-reading the New Age article, it seemed to me that, since the "New Age" was a "hodge podge" of various religions and philosophies a reader might want to have the link to a Wikipedia article on any of those sources that influenced the "New Age." In creating the links, I learned a great deal about arcane or obscure religions or social movements that were new to me and were of interest. I did add quite a number of Wikilinks at one time, but I think they made the article more useful to any scholar interested in delving into the subject.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Moreno clarification
The book, "Impromptu Man, J.L. Moreno and the Origins of Psychodrama, Encounter Culture, and the Social Network," was written by Jonathan D. Moreno, the son of J.L. Moreno. They are not the same person. J.L. is deceased but Jonathan D. Moreno is alive, well and is a current writer and professor. For his book, Jonathan D. interviewed Erhard and wrote a section about the est training, on page 246 Jonathan D. writes, "Over the next couple of decades the vilification of Erhard only intensified. Allegations of all sorts of personal and financial wrongdoing were hurled at him, none of which were born out and some were even publicly retracted by major media organizations." This supports my edit, stating there were "ad hominem attacks" on Erhard, therefore it is an appropriate edit. --RecoveringAddict (talk) 20:16, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

"Background" Edit
Hello RA - I think that your edit today is a summary that works well to lead off that section. I'm wondering, though, if you might be able to find a source that parallels that intro. Summaries are potentially difficult in that they might be perceived as unsourced POV. I am guessing that with your background in the topic you could likely establish an RS for that perception of the book. regards, Sensei48 (talk) 20:44, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
