Thanks for your contributions to Criticisms of capitalism. I've been working to clean the page up a bit, basically rewording and consolidating to improve flow. I'm also going to be sourcing material, since most of the current material is unsourced and I'm thinking that all future contributions should be sourced as such. It looks like we may be coming at it from two different angles, which is good, but I'd encourage you to consult the Talk:Critique of capitalism to discuss issues. Thanks!

Keep up the good work
Sooner or later you'll manage to get that page cleaned up. Unfortunately this is unlikely to happen while the current residents revert everything you do-- but still, getting the difs in there is worth doing.

Graph on food production per capita
Hello, Im new to wikipedia and was wondering about your graph. Do the figures you used for the graph include corn production in the US? As a percentage of this is for ethanol ? I did follow your references but could not find the base data u used --Yendor72 (talk) 01:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

World peace
Another editor has added the  template to the article World peace, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the  template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of World peace
An editor has nominated World peace, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 13:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Nicaragua v. United States
Please make sure your edits are wp:encyclopedic by keeping in mind the lay audience for whom you are writing. Copying text directly from court dockets does not achieve this goal because it is written in legalese and the doesn't have a news story or summery tone (plus it's written in the present tense). NJGW (talk) 16:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

SYN and other OR violations on you-know-what
May I suggest you pick one violation at a time, starting with the most obvious, take it to No original research/noticeboard for comments (with a note on the talk page), drive it through the process, and wait until it is removed before you take up the next?

That way, you'll be less likely to exhaust and alienate other editors and more likely to establish a pattern of getting rid of those unsightly violations than you'd be by spreading the effort over several instances simultaneously.

Most importantly: Suggesting the inclusion of more SYN violations may feel satisfying, but it really is counter-productive, if you want to actually change the article. I'll be your ally if you try to get rid of OR, but if you try to include more, you'll find me an obstacle. &mdash; the Sidhekin (talk) 21:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh sure, the article talk page is the number one place for discussions. But it's not the only one.  No original research/noticeboard is frequented by experts on SYN and OR, and if there's any one thing we really need expertise on, that's precisely it.  But that is not to say "go behind the talk page's back" here.  Just inform the talk page whenever you post something on the noticeboard, and you can be sure, anyone who wants to get involved, will.  &mdash; the Sidhekin (talk) 21:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

After rewrites, that case is no longer obvious enough that I'm willing to make the call. Meanwhile, you obviously are not willing to drop it. So why are you so reluctant to bring the noticeboard into the case? If they make a call, I'll back it up. Promise! — the Sidhekin (talk) 10:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Yo
What would you say to a proposal to merge Criticisms of communism with Communism? Criticisms has no sources or references and is extremely short-- I don't think it merits it's own article unless it's greatly expanded. I'm poking you about this since you seem to edit in the area of political stuff quite a bit. Jtrainor (talk) 17:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

R&I article
I think that you can remove the separate Biotechnology section. I have made a slight word change that should allow the paragraph to be part of the Eugenics section. It is the "new eugenics". Barring that, I believe the biotechnology that Stock discusses will have to be moved from the Contemporary issues section, as it is more futuristic. Can we have a little cooperation on the article? --Jagz (talk) 18:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

RFCU perhaps?
I'm poking you since you're quite good at writing up stuff that conforms to the bureacracy. I think perhaps an RFCU is indicated for those two IP addresses that keep reverting, plus the "new" single purpose account User:Rafaelsfingers. I suspect that these IPs, along with Rafaelsfingers and everyone else who has been reverting to the IP version with claims of consensus (including possibly Giovanni33) are the same person. Given the language it might also be SPTS, of course-- that's for RFCU to decide, if they accept the case. Jtrainor (talk) 22:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

A question
Hi Ultramarine! You probably know this better. Did we ever had a Category:Communist repressions and article Communist repressions? How do you think, should we?Biophys (talk) 21:52, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If you'll allow me to interject, I believe the article Criticisms of Communist party rule fills that role quite nicely. Having a category or article named after any ideology with the word "repression" after it is a violation of NPOV, since repression means, by definition, something unjust done to a person or group of people. It is not the job of wikipedia to judge whether any given action was unjust. -- Nikodemos (talk) 21:06, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Anyway, the reason why I'm here was to say hi, Ultramarine. I have returned after an extended absence and I wanted to let you know that I can help with any democracy-related articles and such. -- Nikodemos (talk) 21:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Unpolite behaviour
Ultramarine, I think it is very unpleasant from you to sistematically remove all the adds you dont like. I put a section in the talk page of the article Talk:Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation but you, instead of taking the discussion, deleted all my adds, that were not personal points of view but translated from other wikis (in this case the italian one). I will, if u prefer, put more sources (you deletede posada's name by saying "according to relyable sourse without quoting, anyway, i suggest u to watch in the Luis Posada Carriles article. He was not graduated but still trained. So it was enough to change "graduated" in "trained" instead of pretestuosly delete it all. Cold war, according to Cold war article started in the mid 1940s, so i think it's absolutely pretestuous to say "not sure it was cold war", cause it was. about the reasons why the school was created, u deleted, again with no discussion at all, everything, by saying it was unsourced. I think u can understand by yourself that u'll never find official documents saying this. But asking for source for every word it's clearly an obstructionism tool for avoiding wht you dont like to be written. The reasons of creation of school are explained by common sense, if u just see wht was happening in latin america in that period. I see the whole article mainly refers to the official website of the school, that cannot be considered but a partial source. It seems from the article as u want it to look like, that CIA's aim was creating peace and prosperity in the continent...by training some of the most bloody terrorists. C'mon! On the other side, my add was from italian wiki, where it is not considered NPOV, why should it be here? has en wiki maybe different rules? Pls, if u want to be democratic, respected and avoid edit wars, discuss before deleting contributions.


 * In march 1946 Churchill made the famous speech about the iron curtain in Fulton, Missouri, that symbolized the official the beginning of a process called Cold War. I do not know what more I should bring as evidence. I propose the mediation: "in the early years/in the beginning of Cold War" if u prefer.
 * Posada "was trained in sabotage and explosives at the CIA's School of the Americas for an invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs." according to sourced wiki article about him. Leopoldo Galtieri, Manuel Noriega and several officers of Pinochet were graduated, according to SOA watch, I even put the source. I think it is important to write it in the introduction, as example of famous graduated. I think it's euphemistic to use the words "participation in human rights violations" for people accused of crimes against humanity. I think it should remain "responsible for crimes against humanity", that comprends, in it's definition, the crime of massacre and persecution, as well as grave humiliation or a degradation of one or more human beings. Dont forget we are talking about people who performed mass murdering and torturing. I think a general "participation in human rights violations" it is absolutely inappropriate. So a mediation could be "Between 1946 and 2001, the SOA trained more than 61,000 Latin American soldiers and policemen. Some of them became sadly famous for being responsible of crimes against humanity, such as generals Leopoldo Galtieri or Manuel Noriega, as well as some Augusto Pinochet's officers. The terrorist Luis Posada Carriles was educated in the school in 1962, even if he never graduated.", of course with source and maybe putting the picture of posada in fort benning.

About the history of fort, I will make further investigations and add several informations missing, that are present in the italian one. Of course, i will look for sources. But please, next time use the discussion page a little more. Of course I am waiting for hearing something from you before performing the changes. I think that's how it should be done. --Desyman44 (talk) 09:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I forgot...u made a little mess with the sources...now looks that there are 4 sources about the new curriculum in SOA... I can fix it when performing the edit, as soon as we reach an agreement.--Desyman44 (talk) 09:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * All right with cold war. I will look for the specific events and movements in South America, even if i think it is gonna make the article a bit less flowing. About posada, the source is from National Lawyers Guild (used also in other wiki articles). Maybe you dont like the source but it still is a source, so if we copy whole texts from the FAQ of SOA website (with a probable copyviol, i'd say) I dont see why we couldn't quote National Lawyers Guild. There is even the archive pic, that i will put as a further evidence.
 * All right with violation of human rights, u r right cause they still had no trial in Aja (or never will have, for Galtieri that is dead). But "participation" i think has to be replaced with "responsible for" since Galtieri was condamned twice, by militar and civil court, Noriega (apart from the farse-court in US), has been accused and extradicted in france.

--Desyman44 (talk) 10:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * is the source not enough? I'd avoid anyway "but not to SOA Watch", cause they dont deny he was educated there, just dont report he was graduated, since he actually wasnt.--Desyman44 (talk) 10:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Posada
Good news! I found a second and much more reliable source about education of posada in SOA, from Washington University National security archive.  I think that with this second source there are no more doubts and that your edit on Posada's article can as well be deleted. I will add the source in both articles if u dont mind. --Desyman44 (talk) 11:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry I was wrong, that's another Posada, a officer in Guatemala. Keeep anyway the source, it's a good one.
 * About the edit in Posada's article, it's the same as on SOA. Ok with source but there's no need to add that SOA hasnt it in archives, for the same reasons stated above.

Please reconsider this post
If you agree that the content of the page should be limited to discussing the actual article, I urge you to strike the non-content related part of this post. TheRedPenOfDoom (talk) 14:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It was Travb/Inclusionst who copied a more than 10 days old statement to the end of talk and then added his comment. Obviously not particularly relevant and the talk page should be about the article content, but if insisting on bringing this up, then the issue should be described correctly.Ultramarine (talk) 14:36, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

It truly strains the ability to assume good faith when in the same post that you voice agreement to limiting comments on the article discussion page to be about the article - you also include comebacks about a non-article related issue, that as you indicate, is 10 days old. Your disagreement with Travb should have been moved to your account talk pages if you wished to indulge in continued discussion about that non-article related topic. TheRedPenOfDoom (talk) 00:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Travb copied a ten days old statement by another editor to the end of the talk page and then added his personal comment. Misleading and none of this regarding article content. My agreement was regarding such tactics. But again, if such tactics are used, then the issue should be presented fairly. If Travb had removed his copied material and comment I would not have replied further.Ultramarine (talk) 10:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Giovanni33 ArbCom
You've suggested that several other accounts are merely sockpuppets of Giovanni. You still need to inform those accounts that they are being accused of being socks on the ArbCom page so that they have a chance to defend themselves if they so choose. Really they should probably all be parties to the case. We can't operate under the assumption that they are Gio's socks and thus we don't need to inform them of what's going on.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 21:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * They are socks. There is no need to inform them, G33 already knows William M. Connolley (talk) 22:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Please. None of them are currently blocked, as I would expect them to be, if they were confirmed to be socks.  — the Sidhekin (talk) 22:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * But we all know that they are William M. Connolley (talk) 22:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No, we don't "all know that they are." If we did Jehochman would have kept the block on Giovanni in place, but he had doubts, as apparently did a couple of other admins who talked to Jehochman (not including me, I wasn't even an admin at the time). A full case should be made at WP:SSP as would normally be the case. I'm not sure WMC how you are so certain that all of the accounts in question are all sockpuppets of Giovanni (as opposed to one or more than one of the accounts simply being one of 100,000 or so people (at a minimum) in the Bay Area who would somewhat agree with Giovanni's position on the article) but if you have specific evidence you might want to post it somewhere instead of wasting time arguing against the posting of courtesy "hey you're over at ArbCom" notes on user talk pages (actually I wonder if anyone has argued against that before&mdash;it's a rather remarkable position to take given the relative triviality of the issue and the fact that the opposite position does absolutely no harm and actually conforms to Wikipedia policy). Until such time as the users are confirmed to be socks by some process, yes, we do inform them that they are accused of being socks. So again to Ultramarine, please post notes on these users talk pages as the ArbCom rules require given that you have clearly filed a complaint against the accounts in question.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 23:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

interesting...
I'm wondering if you think (and his prior account, ) is a reincarnation of our old friend. Outside of Allegations of state terrorism by the United States, his primary interest seems to be creating articles about Latin American drug gangs, just like Seven. Per here, N4G is from the same city as prior (assumed) Seven socks TenOfSpades and ElevenOfHearts. However, many of the tell-tales like what MONGO presented here are not present, although I've only looked at edit summaries and not text itself. And RFCU info for Seven is likely stale. In other words, I'm certainly not ready to make an accusation yet, but I think this should be looked at by others as well. - Merzbow (talk) 22:07, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I actually was thinking this same thing a few days ago, but like Merzbow was not really sure. What struck me as most similar is that the accounts both create a lot of new articles on very similar topics, and seem to adopt similar formats for creating the article, citing the references, etc. One of the things about SevenOfDiamonds is that user did write a lot of articles, they were just violating a previous ban under a different account. Even if I Write Stuff is SoD, they seem to be making some positive contributions, though there seems to be some possibly vexatious litigation as well which could be a straightforward reason to indef block based on the past ArbCom decision (I'm really not paying enough attention to the "Allegations" article to know what is going on with that or how I Write Stuff is behaving). It's worth looking into a bit further, and probably would need to be brought to WP:SSP or WP:AE since there was a previous ArbCom case. If this is the same user as the SoD account (and more evidence is definitely needed, I think User:Proabivouac helped MONGO with the SoD case and might be of some help on this issue, though Proab does not really edit here much anymore) I'd personally like to see the user admit it, be topic banned from articles like the "Allegations" article, and allowed to continue creating new articles as they have been (though a simple indef block is the more likely outcome and certainly wouldn't be unwarranted). In the last ArbCom case though, SevenofDiamonds denied being a sock of NuclearUmpf until the very end. Regardless, I would not make any direct accusations until more evidence has been compiled as Merzbow says.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 22:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If it really is him and he is willing to admit it, I wouldn't argue against just a topic ban against the articles that perennially get him into trouble. I will point him to this section and highly suggest that, if so, he email an admin asking for terms instead of forcing us to do the entire song and dance again, with the inevitable result. - Merzbow (talk) 00:57, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, he denied being Seven on his talk-page. I looked at how they create articles, they do it in a very similar way - articles are born fully-formed, and scrupulously formatted, with multiple references to the same source always numbered like "Times1", "Times2", etc., among other similarities. Is there a tool which people use to facilitate the creation of articles that generates them in this way? Because that's the only benign explanation I can see. - Merzbow (talk) 02:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I guess I must eventually chime in, I pick the names depending on what the majority of sources are, for instance most articles from websites are thanks to the Associated Press, so they lack author names, and are tagged if I am dealing with multiples, as Times1, Times2, etc. If for instance the majority of sources are books, I use AuthorYear as a format, you can see an example: Arturo Lona Reyes. Someone provided me with a code to add to a section of my preferences, it created a "cite" box at the end of the normal edit box, I can try to find the name if you need. I normally write articles in notepad, however lately due to a discussion on the policy proposal page, I have decided to allow the edit count to flow. I have been informed that it can be seen as important to some. If you have questions, you can ask me directly. This way it prevents this odd situation where people are whispering in plain sight. --I Write Stuff (talk) 02:25, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The points made by Merzbow are striking. Right now I do not think I have the time to help look into the details due to others tasks like the Giovanni33 RfA. But I agree with the general suggestions made by both Bigtimepeace and Merzbow.Ultramarine (talk) 03:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it makes sense to delay this until the G33 case starts to settle down, for all our sanity. - Merzbow (talk) 07:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Requests for arbitration/Giovanni33
An Arbitration case involving you has been opened, and is located here. Please add any evidence you may wish the Arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Requests for arbitration/Giovanni33/Evidence. Please submit your evidence within one week, if possible. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Requests for arbitration/Giovanni33/Workshop.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Anthøny 23:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Ultra, I've added my evidence. I focused on edit timelines and linguistic tell-tales. Per your statement, it looks like you're going to focus on drawing the big picture - discussing account creation times, shared articles/POV, RFCU results, etc. (If you can, throw in a comparison to how Gio managed his previous farm of sockpuppets as well). Also, I didn't mention the bits of linguistic evidence already in your statement; hopefully you can find even more that my eyes missed. - Merzbow (talk) 04:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Your section is great as well. Good catch with the anon IP accidentally responding as G33 - oops. The AnnH quote describes exactly what is going on here. - Merzbow (talk) 17:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I got your message. I wonder, is it even possible for an editor to edit in peace here, anymore? Everytime I take a break, I come back to see more time wasting *&%%$# innane wiki-drama. Sheesh. This is a big waste of time. Wikipedia is seriously getting off-track. Maybe we need to borrow that legal principle double jeopardy: editors can not be tried multiple times for the same alleged offense (same sock puppetry charges). At least until there are new FACTS. From what I read there is nothing new. I've done nothing new. So why can't I be just left alone to prove myself? Don't you have better things to do, like write articles? This is not worth the trouble. I might as well go back to just using my dyanmic IP address. At least I had some peace then.Supergreenred (talk) 09:32, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ultra, do a history on your talk page. SGR was helpful enough to expose his IP, which appears to be from a dial-up provider in the San Jose area (popsite.net, owned by starnetusa.net). So we've got G33 from his home Comcast cable connection (plus IPs), Raphael from his cell phone, and Supergreenred from dialup - all from the same area. Who the heck edits using their main account from a cell phone? And who the heck around here still uses dialup? You should add this to your evidence. - Merzbow (talk) 02:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Unintentional (I hope) plagiarism of The Weekly Standard
Go here, and search on "without exception". Then go to Debate over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and search for same. The way you left it, the wording seemed to be original with you. I've corrected the quoting. You seem to be a big fan of careful inline citation. So am I. But I'm also a big fan of accurate attribution. I checked what you cited, since it seemed a little sweeping and dramatic (EVERY member of the Japanese armed forces was out to fight to the death? ANY U.S. negotiation flexibility instigated by encountering mainland resistance would have been interpreted as a sign of "brittleness" by the Japanese army? Surely, some were more realistic, and on both counts?). I was alarmed to discover a rather-too-perfect meeting of minds between you and Mr. Frank. Yakushima (talk) 11:20, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * P.S. My hope that your plagiarism was just a slip doesn't find much encouragement from this edit, where, in the mere 3 minutes between 8:21 and 8:24 on March 13, you somehow forgot that the text you'd just supplied was copy-pasted without attribution from an article you'd also cited.  You obviously knew what statements you were trying to support, so it's hard to believe that you didn't reread the quote you'd just copied when you supplied an additional inline citation to support it. Yakushima (talk) 11:56, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * As they say, when you see a cockroach scuttle across your kitchen floor, you never think "There goes the one cockroach in the kitchen". You think, "This place is infested!".  This  edit, just before the previous mentioned one, shows you appropriating AFA wording.  Do you actually NOT know that you're supposed to make it clear where the quote from the cited source starts and ends? Yakushima (talk) 12:07, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And I've since found yet more. Also some mention of your verbatim copying from sources at the Talk page for Propaganda model.  So you do this in other articles, too.  It seems to be somewhat of a habit. Yakushima (talk) 16:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You appear to be talking to yourself at the moment, since Ultra hasn't edited in months... - Merzbow (talk) 21:05, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Democratic peace theory
Hi. I remember speaking to you about three years ago as regards democratic peace theory. I thought you might like my discussion with Mark Humphrys (the Dublin Uni geneaologist) on the topic. http://dptrueorfalse.blogspot.com  I'd be interested to know what you think. I'd never thought of the Irish War of Independence as the problem before; Mark says he still believes in it.

He did not respond to my comments on R.J. Rummel, probably because he is acquainted with him. I think Rummel did a lot of interesting work whilst at uni, but he seems to have become a raging right-wing nutcase since retiring and becoming a full-time blogger.

AfD nomination of Lenin's Hanging Order
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Lenin's Hanging Order. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Lenin's Hanging Order (2 nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:14, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Financial markets content project
Hello,

My name is Tijana and I am a team leader of Wikinvesting.com project. Along with five of my colleagues and friends who are investment and trading enthusiasts, I have started the Wikinvesting which is based on MediaWiki platform.

Wikinvesting is a non-profit, game-changing movement which aims to round up all those individuals who believe that unbiased financial market information and knowledge should be extensively available to everyone. And this is also how I got to you :) Namely, I was searching for information I needed on financial markets and I have noticed that there isn’t a lot of "useful" information available on Wikipedia (to my surprise). In addition to that, the information available through sites such as Investopedia or Investing is tightly controlled by the business owners and hence easily manipulated. Simply, traders like me could not trust such sources in planning the investment and trading strategy...

So, what we want to create is a base where active or aspiring traders, content writers, investors, and generally financial enthusiasts will share their knowledge and experience, discuss investment opportunities, analyze news etc., all for the purpose of wikinvesting becoming the biggest financial knowledge “open source” base. I am not sure if you are familiar with the recent case of GameStop where gaming enthusiasts gather around the GameStop via reddit forum and prevented the hedge funds from sinking it down. They were basically our inspiration to starting this project.

I would love to share more information about this project with you and also discuss future potential opportunities, hence if you are interested, please let me know so we can continue this on our slack channel.

Cheers,
