Photo proposal at MkuCr
You haven't specified your objection to the proposed caption. If you have a legitimate concern, I do want to hear it, but it's been more than three days. AmateurEditor (talk) 23:03, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

MkuCr
Should I take your lack of response to the most recent caption as agreement? AmateurEditor (talk) 06:37, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

edit request
now that most people are in agreement, can you or someone else remove the phrase "American diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks allege that Russia has become a virtual mafia state Some critics describe him as a dictator, allegations which Putin adamantly denies" in the Vladimir Putin article, note that it is mentioned twice in the article first in the intro and then in the Assessments section so it should also be removed 90.129.86.169 (talk) 17:50, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Invitation
Hello TFD. I see that you commented recently on Murray Rothbard talk. As you may be aware, there have recently been some disputes there, on Ludwig von Mises Institute and on related articles. Any further attention you'd care to devote to these articles would be most welcome. Thanks. SPECIFICO talk  14:00, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

LewRockwell.com
TFD, we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I'm generally impressed by your commitment to reasoned discourse and the use of reliable (i.e. mainstream/peer-reviewed) sources. We discussed the WP:Fringe nature of Murray Rothbard's economics on the Murray Rothbard page, and I've encountered similar material in relation LewRockwell.com, regarding articles it has published promoting AIDS Denial and claims that vaccines cause austism. I want to make sure I present this content neutrally on the LRC page while not white-washing the fringe nature of the material (it is covered by multiple RS). Care to give me a hand?

Thank you
Just to say a quick thank you for your intervention. I'd be grateful if you could - and have the time - keep an eye on what is happening at Tommy Robinson (activist) while I try to sort out the editorial mess that's happened. I'll be working on it the next hour or two (though I'm desperate to have some supper so may eat first!). Alfietucker (talk) 20:14, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I would be grateful too if you in particular can explain why it's WP:WYNTHESIS properly, because the way it is being applied is confusing me. Alfietucker cannot explain it properly. The policy says that if a conclusion is made its WP:SYN but I don't know what conclusion you and him and referring to. StuffandTruth (talk) 20:33, 29 October 2013 (UTC)


 * The conclusion is that Singh's case is relevant to Robinson. As well as being an EDL member, Singh is presumably a Sikh, and it would be wrong to add mention of his conviction to every article about people who happen to be Sikhs.  You will probably argue that the two cases are different, but that is a matter of judgment, i.e., synthesis.  So the connection must be made in sources.  Alfietucker, it is on my watchlist and I will keep it there.  TFD (talk) 20:52, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
