 * I am sure they can be. The only one I really care about is autoconfirmed at this point which i think i soft ware based so I just have to have enough edits. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 21:36, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've given you "confirmed", which is the non-automated version of the autoconfirmed permission, and which can be removed in 4 days when autoconfirmed takes over. I'll wait for outside confirmation on the other user rights.  —  Soap  —  22:20, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Why not just go back to your original account? Everyone knows it wasn't you, they (assumably) haven't got access to your e-mail account, so you can just create a stronger password and even if you've got a secondary account, you're still leaving them with the impression they can just hack someone and the problem goes away.

Could you explain the revert of Haystack (software)?
I admit that I'm new to editing Wikipedia articles, but I couldn't find an explanation for the reversion of my recent changes to the Haystack article.

If I understand Reverting correctly, I think that my changes were a good-faith attempt to update the article to reflect notable events which have been widely reported in Newsweek, The Guardian, Slate and Wired. I think I cited them correctly.

If you could explain what the problem was with my edits, I'd be willing to improve them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.191.200.223 (talk) 07:45, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for doing the merge; it probably needed to be done but I wasn't feeling WP:BOLD enough to pull the trigger :-) It would be nice if you could expand the "origins" section with some of the content from the old Keep Fear Alive page--I probably won't have time to get to it for at least a couple days.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page 2010 Stewart-Colbert Rallies has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=118856078167623, http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=154317524597618.

Re:Confused
In addition to answering your question at the Help Desk, I thought I might let you in on how I found the answer. I first went to the Notability template and hit the "What links here" link. I pulled up one of the articles at random and looked at the categories. Because I have "hidden categories" turned on, I saw the "Articles lacking notability since September 2010" category or whatever it was. I went there and then there was a link to the parent cat.

If you don't have hidden categories turned on, you can do that in your preferences under the Appearance tab. Dismas |(talk) 23:44, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Hey. I just wanted to follow up on this. I think your edits on this page are becoming a little heavy.

OSC
Hi! Just wondering what qualified my edit to the article on Orson Scott Card indicating that he supports racial profiling for Muslims as a consequence of the War on Terror as "vandalism" par these comments:

http://hatrack.com/osc/reviews/everything/2010-02-28.shtml

I can understand why you might have reverted the edit (edit done under IP not account, edit could be interpreted as a criticism), though the edit was merely intended to underscore a clear political belief of Card's as indicated by his writings and not as an attempt to slander or misconstrue. This is a sincere message - I'm certainly not complaining though if I breached any Wikipedia etiquette I'd love to know (I've only made minor edits in the past). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Helpmeimarobot (talk • contribs) 16:42, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Showcase theatre (performing arts group)
A tag has been placed on Showcase theatre (performing arts group) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 02:39, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I just found this today on my talk page, and went to look at the article considered not notable and subject to a speedy deletion, and it's gone! How long was it up there, was there any discussion, and why is the subject of Showcase Theatre not worthy of inclusion? This is a large part of current theatre in this economy, free to audiences, and a practice platform for actors to show off their wares. Many people attend showcase theatre, and may wish to know more about it.  You say it may be contested by placing a tag "hangon" above the article, but it's too late to do that.  JohnClarknew (talk) 05:22, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It failed to assert any nobility, unreferenced and such. The Speedy deletion process is usually pretty quick. One user and another agree Admin is all thats needed to Speedy delete it. If you feel it was error and can provide references we can see about it being Userfication for it and see about it getting put back in the mainspace The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 22:55, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. There is a thin line between teaching newbies and others about our mores and rules, and being gruff, but this comment appears to be on the wrong side of that line. Tduk may be to be an overenthusiasticly inclusionist editor, but his contributions are not completely off the wall. Can you please take it easy on this editor? He's not exactly a newbie, but still needs mentoring. Thanks for your cooperation. Bearian (talk) 18:49, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If an editor is creating Poorly sourced BLPs than of course I am going to ask them if they understand our policies on the issue. Especailly when they do there are Easily found RS on the person. I dont care whether he is adding articles of Questionable notability we deal with that all the time. I was going to encourage him to Sing up for the mentoring program with somebody becuase it is increasly clear look over his contributions that he does not understand our policies. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 19:01, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that he needs mentoring, but I also think that his choices of BLP are not bad, e.g. Darren Barrett was an ugly stub, but it can be improved. Bearian (talk) 19:09, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * More onesAllan Schwartzberg, Rob Mastrianni, Darren Barrett. Show failures in competence of using sourcing. Mentoring is much needed here. He has alot of potenital and should Join WP:NYC but his creations of poorly refeenced BLPs is worry some thus I whacked him hard and perhaps a little harder than i should have but when it come to BLP we arent playing with marblesThe Resident Anthropologist (talk) 19:26, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Shane&friends-intro.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Shane&friends-intro.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Linguistics and anthropology
I see you are making a bunch of edits suggesting that linguistics is "part of" anthropology and the two are redundant. This is patently false; while the two fields have areas of overlap, they are widely recognized as separate fields. In the last diff listed above you cite a single source that doesn't even make the claim you are trying to make (it lists linguistic anthropology, not linguistics, as one type of anthropology, and the sentence about US anthropologists receiving training in linguistics doesn't mean that linguistics is a subfield of anthropology; that's like trying to say that, if lots of mathematicians also have training in computer science, computer science must be a subfield of mathematics). rʨ anaɢ (talk) 00:01, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

2332–2283
Why does it need to be there? Rothorpe (talk) 22:45, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I am not religious, but I dislike the politically correct BCE and CE as ugly, repetitive and lengthy, compared with the traditional AD & BC; and with a span that goes backwards, like 2332–2283, 'before the Christian era' (whatever that means, wasn't much of a Christian era when they crucified him, I don't suppose) is superfluous anyway. 'The comet may have been observed by ancient Egyptians during the reign of pharaoh Pepi I (2332–2283)' has no ambiguity. Rothorpe (talk) 17:35, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry I had to revert your close of this AFD as I did non admin closures for 2 years before becoming an admin and I use to hate it when this was done to me. However, the AFD was not a candidate for WP:SNOW due to several SPA !votes and the fact that the article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:36, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Jediism
Have the courtesy to come into the talk page and comment before you revert proper edits of mine. You have a problem with this article: you keep insisting that it mention nontheism as well as the FICTITIOUS "Way of Shao-lin". Where did you learn the "way" of Shao-lin? Did you even read the pertinent comments on the talk page? Without citations or specific writing, you should leave those alone.

Wiki piece announcing bush's memoir one-sided. Why can't reporter Cohen balance it with his version?
Ted Cohen responds, "I would like to know why Crown Books is listed in a Wiki piece announcing bush's new memoir, with an attendant link to the publisher's website. I edited the Wiki article to include my book with a link to my website. I do not understand why what I have posted is considered out of bounds and would appeal to others to make their own judgments."

 * Hi RA, the Uw-advert3 you gave to Ted Cohen, may have been a little bitey, could I suggest you try to explain in your own words why you reverted an edit if you see one like this again? (I realise you said you don't have much time, but I can see from their POV how your edit may be seen as an attempt to censor them if they don't know how things work around here).

Concerns
Would love to learn more about your concerns, and generally about WP and editing.

Mediation, Yes, that was suggested. I am attempting to disuss the issues, and we will see how that goes first. But I am learning, and I didn't think I a block would have been handed down when editors were section blanking referenced additions from major news sourses. I engaged in talk on article page, warned about them blanking my info on user pages, and I guess it was all me getting baited into a 3rr block, well played on thier part HAHA. That is if we move past assuming good faith. Frankly, I thought my references and edits met WP:V and were equal weight to the pro hannity anecdotes that the past editors chose to include. I thought WP:Well Known would have applied as well. I referenced this on the pages of the editors reverting my work, and on the talk page. The fact that they are writing "waterboarding' was a non issue, and nobody watched it" shows bias IMHO, and the fact that they want to include a rebuttle to an allegation (but not the facts themselves) shows the same, again IMHO. That is why I chose to edit the article, and investigate the issue. I have additional references no to support my changes and additions. The undue weight given to rebuttals to editors inclusions to the page, as well as the fast reverts and undo's smacks of "ownership" and scrubbing to me. I don't know if those are the right WP slang phrases though. Looking forward to your input. On both my edits and theirs.Thanks Bluebadger1 (talk) 03:31, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

COI on ANI
Greetings,

We can see that JJBulten has canvassed for support on the ANI:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Griswaldo#Longevity_COI

This is typical of his misbehavior. I suggest that JJBulten is the one who really needs to be "reined in." His editing has made Wikipedia articles on longevity less reliable and a bigger mess than they would be if he were not allowed to continue editing on Wikipedia. This is something to think about.

Folk etymology: Your input requested
Hi, RA-- I am looking for people with interests in folklore (editors I’ve encountered on folklore/mythology articles as well as elsewhere) to visit talk:Folk etymology, where there is an ongoing edit dispute. One view (three people) holds that the term is exclusive to linguistics, and another (just me) finds that the term has been formally defined within folklore, and used in academic journals in that sense for more than a century. The page is currently locked. I ask your input not in support of either view, but because discussion seems to have come to a standstill, it seems to be a page few stumble across, and needs fresh viewpoints to get unstuck. Thanks!

Please do not collapse discussions like that
ResidentAnthropologist please do not collapse discussions on faulty premises. There is a lot of content discussion in that thread. Cirt started making it about other editors and not about content. Great, bring that up with Cirt. The content discussion cannot be teased out of the general discussion because they are intertwined, but it is there.

Re: Zamora (musician)
The Grammy nomination would not save the article; he was Grammy-nominated at the time of the AfD. I'll double check the old revision.

Regardless, the article must be deleted, because it's a copyvio. —C.Fred (talk) 00:07, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I stand corrected. The Grammy nomination was not mentioned in the old version of the article or the AfD discussion. Accordingly, it's not deletable under criterion G4. It is still a copyvio and subject to deletion on those grounds. —C.Fred (talk) 00:12, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll make a new one in user space No worriesThe Resident Anthropologist (talk) 00:13, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If you get a source for the Grammy nomination and rewrite it, let me know. Per my comment at WP:Articles for deletion/Zamora (musician), that's a far bigger assertion of notability than was made in the article then. If it's a well-written article and meets WP:MUSICBIO, I'll back it for recreation, including at DRV if necessary. —C.Fred (talk) 00:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)'''
 * Hmm, I outside the nomination on Grammy Website, I cant find any thing on Zamora himself. As i dont feel conformable doing a BLP with only a single source. So he meets WP:MUSICBIO but any WP:V has it dead in the water. New age musicians do not generate much news attention. Sad  The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 00:47, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Even though it's not secondary, the Grammy press release would be a valid source for the nomination. You're right, though: if that's the only thing that can be sourced, that's not really enough for a BLP. —C.Fred (talk) 00:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Project on Neutrality of Scientology Articles
On the project page purporting to deal with "neutrality" of Scientology articles, I posted the follow comment.

"This user, who initiated this project, claims that he has no involvement in editing Scientology-related articles, yet his user contributions seem to suggest otherwise. He has been involved with many of the articles and while he may not be an active editor of the texts, his editorial function seems to be more of a self-appointed meta-editor of the entire scope of articles on Scientology, including the initiation of this project. I think it is false for him to claim that because he may not edit the text of articles he is not an editor concerned with the subject matter. The effort he appears to be making is to challenge any and every article about Scientology. It seems that his goal is deleting as many as he can and putting the entire subject matter back under "review." The arbitration on Scientology was extensive and is now closed. I'm concerned that this project is a way to re-open the entire can of worms again. This entire project seems designed more to "keep the controversy alive" rather than anything else. It reminds me of the tactics used by the tobacco industry when it was fighting against medical science on health-related issues associated with use of tobacco. In my opinion, this entire "project" should be deleted and a renewed effort to reopen arbitration be nipped in the bud. Calicocat (talk) 21:57, 1 January 2011 (UTC) "

You removed this comment with some references to a few policies which seem misplaced. I don't think I was soapboxing or mounting a personal attack on the editor in question, but simply challenging a few factors about his editorial neutrality on this subject as revealed by his user contributions and some concerns about the project itself. I think what you did in removing the comments was censorious and not in keeping with the general nature of wikipedia talk pages, which are meant to be an open forum for discussions of relevance to an article or, in this case, a project. I would ask that you not censor my comments and legitimate concerns. Thank you. Calicocat (talk) 23:40, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Polemic discussion of an editor is not permtted, civil discussion of an editor is permitted.

 * I would like you to point out where what I said crossed the line. My tone was not at all uncivil or rude. I gave links to his contributions page that demonstrated the basis of my concern. I think your removal of the material was done in a hasty manner and demonstrated a disappointing lack of willingness to discuss legitimate concerns about the project the editorial objectivity of the editor who began it.

 * Comparing Scott to Tabbacco Company is generally nor is calling some one a liar. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 03:03, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't compare him, personally, to a tobacco company, I said that the project itself reminds me of what tobacco companies did to keep a controversy alive. I used that as an illustration and I stand by it. I didn't call him a liar, but apparently he is, since he claims to have not edited Scientology articles in his project, but in fact, he has. He has called for numerous articles to be deleted and started a whole project -- without proposal for such -- and that is a form of editing in wikipedia. I still object to you taking this action in removing my comment from the project talk page. I'm so put off by this little episode that I won't even bother to comment further about it nor will I participate in the project. Calicocat (talk) 05:55, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Topic Ban Alert
Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't think through that adding that page to requests for protection could be violating my topic ban. I wasn't editing it, but since topic bans are construed broadly, I'm removing the page from my watchlist. I appreciate your help in pointing that aspect out, and if any other of my actions seem in violation of that please help me know, because I honestly do not want to go through any more conflicts. I've moved the edit bar so that weird formatting does not mess with the talk page. Thanks again.-- Novus Orator 23:25, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Missing Points
What is the point I am missing on the Ganas article? This is the second time you've removed the Controversy section that we've already agreed we are going to have. PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. I am re-instating it and will try to address your other changes one at a time. You make that very hard to do when you make these major revisions without discussing them first. Can we get some agreement about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eroberer (talk • contribs) 20:59, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Your inclusion of material several users agreed was improper is the heart of the removal and I advise you to stop putting material in against consensus. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 21:01, 11 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Who agreed what was improper? Please be specific.  I remind you that you are making major changes without consensus yourself.  Eroberer (talk) 21:37, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Handicap Scuba Association
Hi, thanks for your warning about the article "Handicap Scuba Association". Probably it is difficult to understand but if you make a quick research you can note that the HSA is the most important organization in the world who teach and give certification for all the levels of scuba diving to disabled person like the PADI or NAUI do in the world to normal persons. Every body know about in the SCUBA DIVING world. The difference obviously and fortunately the disabled person are not so much like normal persons! So I think if you can will be nice if you give collaboration to expand the article instead to ask to cancel. Thanks very much.--Abyssadventurer (talk) 10:50, 15 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I remain really surprised becouse I was working on the article you putted the warning meanwhile I was editing the article, and after arrived the deletion, I was just espanding with reference and photos etc.. So I ask why this yes International Association for Handicapped Divers and Handicap Scuba Association no!? Have a look to the List of diver training organizations. This is really a racist and social discrimination and I will write an article to the news media. Ciao--Abyssadventurer (talk) 12:14, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

What did you mean by that 3RR warning? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the rule (and your message!) talks about "Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period". I have done 2 (that is not "more than three" by a margin of 2) reverts and that was for enforcing a well know policy. Please, retract you misplaced menace. --Damiens .rf 19:00, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you, very much, for your concerns regarding what you referred to as the "methods" of the "targeting" against me by a Wikipedia Review user. Your comments are most appreciated, especially in light of recent offsite attacks. I hope you are doing well. It is unfortunate that despite multiple warnings the user has continued their obsessive compulsive crusade against another Wikipedian. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 11:22, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi ResidentAnthropologist. Thanks for this post. There's absolutely no "baggage" that should have possibly resulted in such a ban, and I could prove my words, but I do not believe you have a time to listen to me. Regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:00, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I think its an Extremely unreasonable Editing restriction, it seems a basic wiki-right to defend yourself at ANI. I think based on your block log the resictions on Paritpating in ANI and such seems reasonable but if hits your page you should be able to speak at ANI on your Behalf. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 16:16, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! This restriction is very unreasonable, and I have done absolutely nothing to deserve this particular restriction, but to tell you the truth, I love this restriction. Why? Because most of the time, when I tried to defend myself in a past, I only made the matter worse for me, which is partly due to my English. So, the restriction is OK. I need to behave that way that nobody would have a reason to file a post about me on AN/I. I was wrong yesterday, and the post was valid. BTW I saw you defending Cirt, and although I do not know what's going on with Cirt, I'd like to thank you for doing this too because it is a noble thing to defend the people, who need to be defended.   Regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Drain cleaner
I came across this while stub-sorting but could see no reason why it had been stubbified. There seemed to be no cleanup templates, no recent edit-wars, no recent discussion on talk page - so I reverted to the version prior to stubbification. If you need to stubbify it again, please explain what the problem is before removing such a lot of content, much of it referenced. Thanks. PamD (talk) 20:37, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Classic WP:NOTHOWTO, material also appears to be a Good faith violation of no original research using unreliable sources. Stubifying seemed more appropriate rather than WP:AFD as it strikes me as a valid topic for us to cover just not the way we were doing it. Probably should have left a note on the talk page but didnt think to. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 20:50, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * A few cleanup tags and a pause of a few weeks before more drastic action might have been the way to go, rather than removing almost all the content of an article which was created incrementally by a large number of editors over a period of 7 years. PamD (talk) 22:56, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Really there is really nothing worth salvaging that doesnt violate policy. Tagging it would just cuase some one else to do the same when eve people got around to it. If you feel I am in error take it to WP:NORN. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 23:11, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * By all means take it to WP:NORN, but I've reverted pending that discussion. I think the default position is to leave the accumulated edits of many editors over the years in place, until you have discussed the article on its talk page or tagged it as needing cleanup.
