User talk:Wikidgood

NOTICE: I edit almost exclusively on highly contentious topics and have managed to do so without quitting or incurring sanction for over fifteen years. I have skin as thick as a rhino and the determination of a pit bull. I You may not like my edits but threats of adverse action are prima facie ridiculous because I follow policy and try to be considerate. I recommend that you do so as well.

If you are intending to correct my editing the default location is the talk page of the pertinent article and you may wish to "pinge" me if you wish to invite my comment or participation. I usually watch a good number of pages and might not get to the relevant edit as rapidly if you do not do so. You may also use a talk back template to direct discussion onto your own Talk Page at your option. Please note that I have been around for quite a few years and have managed to stay out of trouble so threats to ANI me because I have violated your sense of WP:IDONTLIKEIT are not likely to be efficacious. However, if you think that you have collected enough grievances feel free to take it to ANI. I suggest you familiarize yourself first with the concept of WP:BOOMERANG as the sysops are really too busy to waste time with whiners who are WP:NOTHERE

Special interests
I line WP:RSN at the moment as there are significant issues on coverage of the 2014 Russian intervention in Ukraine War in Donbass which IMHO go to the core of Wikipedia philosophy. I am also interested in epidemiology, virology, zoological pathologyUnited States Navy USAF and related topics.

welcome
'''Welcome! I will be down for the holiday but be assured back editing with a vengeance in 2011. Please bear with me and be constructive with edits to my work in progress. I will check occasionally during the inter-semester break. Our university is shutting down and until I buy a new laptop I am disabled from intensive editing. '''

DELETION DISPUTE #1: Deleted While In Progress, Amicably Resolved

 * Hi. I just checked the deletion log and it was deleted for a lack of content and citations. However, not to worry about recovery.  I can do that for you and put an "under construction" tag on it.  Only be a moment.  PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:13, 22 December 2010 (UTC)


 * All set. You're good to go.  Sorry about the inconvenience.  PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:15, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Respiratory fluids
Wikidgood Thanks for the fast action. I was thinking the safest wording, as a disambiguationist rather than as a medical science expert, would be "microbes" "bacteria" "bacilli" "antigen" rather than respiratory fluids but I suppose I can live with it. The MTB is embedded in them. But I wonder if in some cases bacteria may be embedded in oral mucosa rather than respiratory fluid?Wikidgood (talk) 01:16, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Hitler

 * What edit warring? One deletion isn't "warring". re "the first sentence is nonsensical": The first sentence was nonsensical. There's nothing snide in that. It said "In popular culture, generates a high level of controversy". In popular culture what generates a high level of controversy? Hitler? Portrayals of Hitler? And, no, I don't really think Hitler is "controversial", nor are most portrayals of him. Controversy implies differing viewpoints, but the mainstream view of Hitler is fairly settled and uncontroversial. Other people can become controversial when they say something positive about him - e.g Louis Farrakhan. Paul B (talk) 09:49, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It was an obvious typo, written on a dark keyboard while waiting for my train. The underlying point was not nonsense and the proper thing to do would be to correct the typo. Odd that you would not think that portrayals of Adolph Hitler have historically generated controversy. You are entitled to disagree if you think that cultural appearances of Hitler are never the object of conroversy, but per the citations at least some secondary sources have written on it. And it seems that you admit that controversy developes around the Hitler motif so why not modify it accordingly - I think that point is well taken on your part, and I have already said that I agree that the line needs modification. But unfortunately as per the "addiction" refered to on your User page, I believe, you are in these delete-rather-than-improve mode which is a common problkem on WP and which is against the guidelines if not indeed policies. So now that we have had our little go to on the matter I would say that you have the right idea about improving the line I am sure if you implemented your modification there would be some good support and at worst a BRD discussion. It seems rather obvious that Hitler sparks controversy -even this thread is part of the spinoff from his legacy of Kriegschaft; to note that in a phrase or sentence is really more a matter of framing the article since almost everyone on the planet has heard pro and con regarding the ever-controversial Chancellor of the notorious Third Reich. BTW I appreciate the phot on your User page quite a step above the usual. Cheers.Wikidgood (talk) 23:38, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * If you check my talk page you will see that my views do seem to be shared by other editors. It was far from clear what you intended to say in the first sentence. Some portrayals of Hitler have been controversial, but very few considering how many there are. Some portrayals of Churchill or Roosevelt have been controversial. Mixing up controversial portrayals with controversy about the person indicates confused thinking. Your other comments about my "delete-rather-than-improve mode" indicate utter ignorance. Look at edits before making such remarks. The truth is, as other editors have pointed out, your contribution was inherently confused and basically unhelpful. It was challenged and deleted by several editors. Paul B (talk) 06:53, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No actually it was moved to a subarticle but frankly I could care less. This topic is not my bag and I wish you would just let it go. THanks. Wikidgood (talk) 03:06, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

 * What is this supposed to be some kind of warning directed towards me because you don't like something some other editor did?> Get a grip man. Besides, that is not what "canvassing" is, as I have edited on the topic. "Canvassing" is bring in people who have had no previous relationship to the topic.

 * If in retrospectively you wish to continue to edit on HIV, AIDS and other disease, epidemiology and virology articles you will find that I am active on many of them and if you wish to participate in editing on those pages you will have to participate in collaborative discussions including ones which involve differences of opinion. I have no preference one way or another because I see nothing substantive in your editing so far, simply some of the most aggressive personal attacks which I have had to endure.... but that comes with the territory.Wikidgood (talk) 20:33, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Off the LEASH?
RE: HIV infection is already implied in AIDS - it's like referring to mammals and primates or to humans and women.

Nope. The cause of a consequence is not equivalent to the relationship of genera and subspecie.

Also, there are other forms of immune deficiency including SIV. ALso, there are HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 syndromes. That is why I do NOT actually oppose use of the term HIVAIDS at all, just, IMO, it is not the ideal title for the article. Every other WMF project agrees with me on that. Wikidgood (talk)


 * Yes, I agree that HIV infection can be seen as a different category of thing to HIV, AIDS and HIV/AIDS.


 * HIV is a virus, an type of infectious particle. AIDS is a disease, an abnormal bodily state. HIV/AIDS is also the name of a disease, one that incorporates both AIDS and also non-AIDS HIV disease. I would see an infection as distinct from a disease semantically speaking, but in the discussion on the talk page, HIV infection was being used as a direct synonym for HIV disease, and I was continuing that usage.


 * That blurring of the distinction between an infection (a type of interaction between a microbe and a host) and a disease (a type of abnormal bodily state) is precisely why I don't like HIV/AIDS to be defined as "Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome": Disease = Infection + Subset of Disease makes no sense semantically. If you were going to expand the acronym HIV/AIDS you'd need to say something like "Acquired immune deficiency syndrome and also other disease states resulting from human immunodeficiency virus infection" or Disease = Subset of disease + all the other subsets of the disease. Personally, I don't think HIV/AIDS can be expanded this way, not without a lot of awkwardness anyway.


 * I'm not sure what you are getting at when you say, "there are other forms of immune deficiency including SIV. ALso, there are HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 syndromes". There are many different immune system diseases, including acquired and primary immunodeficiency diseases. HIV/AIDS is only one of those, albeit one of the most common.

The hash posted from the IP is indeed valid and here, logged in, I hereby affirm such. A hash, by the way, is a good way to document your identity while logged in as it is a one-way encodation of any string such as your name.

/Graphic Removed//Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * OK, I'll accept that. It is your page you can do as you wish. I think you posted just as I was posting the following. Let's cool it for a while this will look kind of pointless tommorow

My post to your talk page

" Thank you.Wikidgood (talk) 04:29, 10 December 2016 (UTC) I appreciate slowing the tempo a bit. Let's take another look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BOLD,_revert,_discuss_cycle Thanks again.Wikidgood (talk) 04:26, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I know what I removed. Again, I seriously suggest you read WP:LEAD and see the difference between the lede you're thinking of and the lead Wikipedia uses. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:32, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I am through with that discussion. Please comment on the proposed template removal in the article. I am likely to concur with your view or whatever everybody else thinks. You have a lot of WP expertise there is no need to beat the crap out my every prosecutable possible mis-statement & prove yourself right/superior/dominant or whatever. You do want to serve the process of doing BLP justice to Dr Ben Carson, correct? Let's do that thing man enough of this intramural bitching. Please,just let it go man. Wikidgood (talk) 04:46, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, it's a bit tough to get back my good faith when you not only told me how wrong I was, you even told me I was misspelling it. Turns out, I wasn't wrong. Simply saying something like "oh, my bad. I didn't realize there was a difference" would be the right thing to do, but apparently that's not in your toolbox. For the record, I'm not a Trump supporter, nor did I vote for Carson. I'm a conservative and I don't consider Trump to be a true conservative. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:53, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Factual error.
You wrote "You then come in, see a template on my page, see nothing on his, since he deleted them...". First, I am not stupid. If I check someone's talk pages for templates I check for deleted templates as well. Second, I never checked either of your talk pages for anything. Try not to make factually incorrect claims, OK?

You also wrote "If a rigged administrative process or any blocks are put in place, the whole matter may be referred to the press and/orUS[sic] congressional committee persons as suppression of public dialogue so any admins please think long and hard before any bossy blocks or annoying and uneeded[sic] administrative processes." I would strongly advise that you stop engaging in threatening behavior. It won't prevent you from being blocked if you continue to disrupt the encyclopedia. --Guy Macon (talk) 06:00, 10 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I believe you regarding that you did not check the talk pages but that just shows that you were unaware of the progress that had been made. And your use of the term "threatening behavior" is repehensible since YOU are the one who is threatening ME. If you illicitly block me I have every right to complain and if legitimate RS is blocked on WP that is something I have every right to express to my Congressman before he votes. How dare you accuse me of "disrupting the encyclopedia". There is no merit to that. My edits were constructive and a self-described conservative Republican obstructed them out of a fear that Dr. Ben Carson would be disadvantaged. You took the bait. The proof is that you suggested that I make specific constructive suggestions to improve the article after I had already done so and was engaged in constuctive progress with the other editor. You then claimed I was "edit warring". Are you an admin? Please so state.Wikidgood (talk) 06:17, 10 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I am not an admin. I have turned down several offers to run for adminship. If I was an admin, It would not matter, because any blocks would have to come from another admin; see WP:INVOLVED. EDIT WARRING IS DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR. Both of you edit warred, both of you engaged in disruptive behavior. The only question is whether both of you will stop edit warring now that I have warned you or whether I need to call in an admin to stop one or more of you from making further edits without consensus. And by the way, watch yourself on the consensus issue; I have already caught you twice claiming that there was agreement on something only to have another editor say that they never agreed. Just post your proposed changes on the talk page and ask whether anyone objects, OK? That way there will be no misunderstanding or dispute about whether there is or is not consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 06:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You are wrong on several counts. You did not "catch" me. There was consensus on the issue of appointed/nominated. Don't be accusing me this way. You have personally KILLED my new interest in happy editing on WP. You owe me an apology. You owe me a clarification of which edit you called "edit warring". That one? I haad made several edits thereafter, without incident. Who made you the boss of WP? I have been on WP as long as you and never been threatened like this. You were disrupting because Nite and I had worked out our differences and we had proceeded to dialogue on two other threads. If you don't back pedal and convince me I conclude that (1) writers are better off almost anywhere than WP, (2) disrespect is routine on WP. FYI Nite refered to me as a troll on the comments of his own user page where he deleted a polite text warning. He called me a troll because I wanted to put RS into the article. He is a gun-promoting conservative Republican who is jealously guarding the WP on Ben Carson in hopes of suppressing the copious embarassing facts of record in his bio. Nevertheless we were proceding on a cooperative basis and then you came in and started threatening blocks/sanctions etc. (3) WP is incapable of providing up to date information because people like Nite will try to slow down unfavorable information from appearing in the encyclopedia and (4) they will get away with it, in many cases. Eventually, things get sorted out but that does not work on breaking news. (5) What we used to refer to as "breaking news" is now basic info that should be in the encyclopedia. (6) The only cure is a new level of rationality and civilty which is not likely to appear on WP anytime soon. Prove me wrong. Wikidgood (talk) 07:07, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, I referred to your edit on my page as "troll droppings" because it's pretty funny to see you warn me about the 3RR when you'd already done the same thing. I never called you a troll for wanting to add a RS. But you are not that skilled at spotting reliable sources and just because something is said in a RS doesn't mean it automatically gets included. What does my support of the US Constitution have to do with this discussion? And I've already made it clear that I didn't support Trump or Carson. Wikipedia is not in the breaking news business, especially when it comes t BLP's. Why ask anyone to prove you wrong? You don't admit when you are proven wrong.
