My comments, which referred very carefully and specifically to points in the article, were all clearly and impeccably sourced, and the word “alleged” (i.e. by the former president of Mexico) was clearly stated. Ergo, the squeals of BLP violation were just crying wolf. I’ll let your meddling with my comments stand, as any more back and forth would only serve as a distraction from discussing the merits or otherwise of the article to which I linked. Also of course, several years' observation of users like you at political talk pages has taught me that tangling with them there rarely ends well for either party.

Hi, I don't know if you will remember but way back in December you were involved in an issue with the Stephen Leather article. The same matter seems to be being raised again by Jprw who tried to have the blog reference included at that time. I really don't know an awful lot about BLP issues or policy so feel I'm a little out of my depth with this. Should it really be possible that the same editors can just keep chipping away at the same issues every few weeks? Should this be brought up (again) at the BLP noticeboard?

I have no intentions of making any changes to the article myself, but was just hoping to get input from editors previously involved in the article (or recently-closed AfD) in an effort to improve the article and clarify its purpose. I will leave any changes to the consensus of other editors who decide what's best. Your participation would be welcome, regardless of your views on the issue.

Hello Malerooster,
thank you for a welcome. I like birds too:-) and birds like my garden:-) I even take care of a small group of house sparrows (Passer domesticus). Already for years. Unfortunately their amount is decreasing each year, despite my efforts to help them to survive early spring and winter. I do not know where they sleep, but they spend daytime in my garden searching for food, cleaning their feathers, singing, looking around and just having a rest. I must disappoint you, but I won't edit here - I have already hands full of work on other Wikipedia and as you have already noticed, my English is not good enough to contribute here. I hope you will enjoy a piece of pie. If not chickens (also birds:-) and their eggs it wouldn't be possible to make delicious pastries. Chickens are also friendly and cute animals. I loved to feed them as a child. It always astonish me how protective the roosters are for hens, and how devoted mothers hens are for their young chickens. Greetings.

Hi Malerooster, I see you recently made some edits to the Howard Lederer article and wondered if you'd be interested in looking at revised draft of the article I've prepared?

My aim with the draft is to bring the article up-to-date and address the few issues around Full Tilt.

Hi, I've been working on the State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman article and I noticed that you dropped a tag on the external links section. Would it be possible for you to drop by the talk page and give us a rough idea of your concerns with this section, so we can take a look at it and address those concerns.

Thanks in advance for your consideration concerning this matter.-- Isaidnoway (talk) 18:02, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You removed a sentence from the page of Helen Thomas. The sentence was from a source that was used just 2 sentences ahead of that one. Next time, please use a citation needed tag or mention it in the Talk Page unless it is something contentious. It takes much more time to add it back in and also add another reference which is really not needed if the source is already provided earlier and it's non-contentious. If the Wikipedia guidelines say differently, feel free to let me know, but that's always been my understanding. - Maximusveritas (talk) 02:56, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you check the reference that's being cited for his residence in Sedona, it's in Out (a gay magazine) and specifically names the guy he was in a relationship with at the time. The partner named in the article was the same name you removed from the infobox today, and his name used to be in the body text as well but appears to have been removed from there in 2012 sometime. That said, I don't know whether the name was removed by a vandal with homophobic motivations or by someone with private knowledge that Scarpelli and Belanger broke up sometime after the article was published in 2006, so I wouldn't readd Belanger's name now without a new source — but the existing one is still sufficient for describing and categorizing Scarpelli as being gay.

We are mindful of problems finding details and taking out details not relevant:
For example: "minor roles of elected office and alternates", which includes officerships, for example - local community councils in England and membership of student, youth and candidate party groups in the UK in 1988-1990 and Policy committees, alternate to National Council and local branch positions in Ireland are not listed online and past members and committee do not show once replaced ... so removed election on elections and alternates.
We are streaming down from references in his published biographies (LinkedIn, International Who's Who listing and Facebook profile) looking for reference and links while keeping the issues toned to his works in Autism and Disabilities areas.
We have to be able to be fair balanced and independent, and that means cutting things down - and looking up corroborative sources - this means often getting images of past content of historical value through Wikimedia - thy have been hesitant to let through items in their personal photo albums online to which they exclusively have the rights - we can imagine covers of publications he was publisher and editor for.
We know of webpages that montages a selection of his publications and his historical events in Star Trek Fandom, fundraising and autism disability work - problem is to deconstruct the montage on the page or revert to original jpg, png and gif rather then adobe illustrator - we think that thanks to Dropbox we will have access to source code and archive of that website during the week. While he is giving us access to the images he or he and Karen are owners of, wikimedia seem notnt let them through.

Hi MR, I see you've several times removed some of the See also links in Chelsea Manning. The point of the list is to give readers a quick overview, at the end of the article, of the material Manning leaked. These are all already linked elsewhere in the article, but for the reader's benefit they're repeated at the end in one list. You've several times removed some of these, but left others, which gives a misleading impression. Can we discuss it here or on the talk page? SlimVirgin (talk) 20:21, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When you see a place of birth in the lede, feel free to move it, per our MOS. But if it is accurate and RS-supported, please don't delete RS-supported material. We should not delete material that is non-RS compliant, anymore than we would delete a word that is not spelled correctly. Both actions needlessly degrade the article.

OK... you seem to be an active editor - and it's years since I last contributed, so my new log-in is barred from comments. Maybe you'll be my messenger (I won't shoot you...)
If I look at the main protective edge article on human shields... "tactic encouraged by a Hamas spokesman.[dubious – discuss][165]"
There is a fuller (translated into English) interview with the Hamas Spokesman here... from the authoritative (even if they only concentrate on following arab media) Memri Organization:
www.memritv.org/clip/en/4340.htm
With a video clip like this (eg, "The policy of people confronting the Israeli warplanes with their bare chests... we in Hamas call upon our people to adopt this poilcy"), it would seem clear that there is nothing dubious about the claim that the tactic was indeed encouraged.
...please consider updating the main article (assuming you can)

Hi Malerooster. Thank you for the kind welcome and for reviewing and editing the page about Joe G. N. Garcia. Your neutral input is greatly appreciated.
It's come to my attention that the same user edited another BLP with which I have a conflict of interest: Ann Weaver Hart. He or she has added very similar language (a section called "Controversy") that presents the same issues (violates the neutral point of view tenant, poor sourcing that violates the verifiability tenant, etc.). Would you be willing to review and edit that page as well?
Thanks again. HealthSciChris (talk) 16:57, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
HealthSciChris & Malerooster. Everything added is sourced and tons of sources are coming out every day. Vice News, CNN, Daily Beast . . . Joe Skip Garcia and Dr Ann Hart are at the epicenter of National news related to marijuana for vets suffering from PTSD, the suppression of science, and the illegal termination of a female dr who had approval from the FDA for her study. If you have an objection to the cited news then spill it, this is exactly what wikipedia if for. I can bring as many people to back up the edit as need be. We see the IP address that first undid the edit was nothing more than an IP traceable to the University of Arizona. By your name you work at the University of Arizona HealthSciChris. This is a blatant attempt at censorship. Malerooster, I appreciate your point of view. If you tell me what your objections are, I will be more than happy to comply. Remember, be careful what you wish for HealthSciChris as more news is coming out every day regarding the disgusting behavior of Garcia & Hart. Malerooster, also how does one get in touch with "editors" and do you work for Wikipedia? Thanks in advance for your hep. All I would ask, if national news if fair game for these pages where these persons are mentioned by name, then please don't let HealthSciChris or any other UofA/Conservative Activist whitewash the facts. Thanks! PathfinderE4
Hello Malerooster. Thank you for the welcome to Wikipedia. I been around for a bit, however, and registered the new user name to claim it because I'm planning on requesting my original username (UOJComm) be changed. I know there is a formal process for requesting a change of username so that my previous edits will show up with my new username. I'm just wondering if you have any advice / suggestions on what can make that progress smooth and quick. Thanks again! Allsetcobrajet (talk) 18:58, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi MR, Thanks for the welcome note. Actually, I do not plan to stick around, and I plan to end my (tiny, insignificant) ongoing donations to Wikipedia based on my experiences with the posts of late. I find the ability to doctor for personal objectives someone's biographical information, under the purported auspices of Wiki guidelines, is too easily manipulated and takes constant vigilant supervision. I'm a little surprised with all the contributors who monitor pages that there is no one monitoring the subjective expressions/repression/omissions of the monitors. There is more work to do on my posts to make them better conform to the guidelines, and I will happily continue to do that. Perhaps other contributors will also tweak this or that. But to shut down the expansion of the information--which happens to be most volatile and inflammatory at this particular moment in history--seems at odds with the mission of Wikipedia. How naive of me. There is a larger conversation, perhaps, to be had on the "proper" uses of Wikipedia, but at core, I think that truth is never a bad idea. I thought, until recently, that Wikipedia's primary mission, primary to all other values, was to present truthful, clear, rational (not hysterical), informative material about the subject matter. I had no idea that truthful information takes a back seat to the desires of vigilant "contributors" who use rules to remove information they do not like, to fulfill their own objectives. I'm pretty disillusioned, M.R.

Hello, I sympathise with your removal of the link/section on the Indhu Rubasingham page. Rightly or wrongly I added it as there is currently a thrice daily edit on both 'her' page and the Tricycle Theatre page concerning an 'unfolding' controversy. By adding the link I hoped that the edits might at least be confined to the theatre's page until such time as the story has more fully evolved. All the edits are from 'anon' editors and all are to a greater or lesser extent imflammatory and partisan in their approach. In the situation I'm not sure whether my or your approach is correct. ps what other kind of rooster is there ? Pincrete (talk) 21:10, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agree wholly with your overall assessment (and your son!), the purely practical problem is that contentious edits on these two pages are, at the moment, a twice daily event (all from anon IPs, mostly different). Do you happen to know HOW to put a block (for a few weeks, on all anon editors seems appropriate)? Whilst a few 'admin-ny' editors are obviously watching the page, I seem to be the only one actually involved with it at present.Pincrete (talk) 14:01, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately 'consensus' at the moment is me & thee! Yes some editors have 'jumped in', including yourself to clean up blatant PoV, so I haven't had to over-revert. Any assistance that you or Wikipedia can offer will prevent me wasting time on this. 'Dealing with life?', I think I remember what that is! Ta!Pincrete (talk) 15:42, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've forgotten where I read it specifically, but the only reason this store is notable is its stauts as largest furniture store in the United States. Every source in existence has some variation of this theme. Once the store achieved the status 20 years ago, I didn't think it was necessry to source it again, but someone could have broken their record. I don't think so. I can't access my sources right now, but two I can access refer to "largest furniture showroom in the world." That's even better but I'm not sure it says the same thing. In any case, it's the largest store in the U.S. where a person can walk in and look at furniture and buy it.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:11, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for requesting closure. The basic problem appears to be well-meaning but very bad advice at WP:DRN. The issues were taken to WP:DRN, where the volunteer editor said that the issues involved both content and conduct (which was correct), and said to take the content issues to requests for mediation and the conduct issues to WP:ANI. The latter was well-meaning but bad advice, because, although there are conduct issues, none of the contentious editors have put together diffs or made a specific case. (Also, it isn't, in my opinion, a good case for formal mediation, but that is another question.) There are conduct issues, but they aren't formulated for admin action yet. (I don't think that they will ever be dealt with at WP:ANI anyway. I have the feeling that the case will eventually go to arbitration, but that is my opinion.)

As I've never done this please forgive any etiquette errors.
The piece on homosexuality in ancient Rome contains the Latin word infimalia (sp?). While infamous is an accurate translation the current connotations give the wrong impression. The literal translation is "well known." Infamous today generaly canotes a shadiness that the original would not gain until later . Perhaps a parenthetical clarification, or footnote may be in order.

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Sean Hannity". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 16 June 2015.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

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.

Information on the crash can be easily found. Just look at the talk page. Also, if you could, could you add the sources?

Dear Malerooster! Thank you very much for creating a talk page for me! I am very new here thus I appreciate your help. I am working now on a 6 years old article that was not properly sourced, I am improving it, but I have almost no one who would help me a bit to control what I am doing. I found more than 40 new sources, I built them into the article, and now I am kindly asking you, would you take a glance to my work? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zolt%C3%A1n_Deme and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Zolt%C3%A1n_Deme My other problem is that this tag "Find sources:『Zoltán Deme』– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images" proved to be useless for reaching the sources of the 1960-1980 decades, especially the sources of the past communist countries in East Europe where most of the libraries very poorly digitized. For example "Scholar" gives 1 citation, though just with 10 minutes research I got immediately 20 citations! [[5]] page 65 [[6]] p.2 [[7]] p.23 [[8]] p.1 [[9]] p.289 [[10]] p.5 [[11]] p.2 [[12]] p.353 [[13]] p.35 [[14]] p.1 [[15]] p.46 [[16]] p.75 [[17]] p.63 [[18]] p.84 [[19]] p.64 [[20]] p.1 [[21]] p.48 [[22]] p.317 [[23]] p.196 [[24]] p.101. (Plus I got many items, as "required reading" in the universities, like [[25]] p.1 [[26]] p.1 [[27]] p.48 [[28]] and so on). For other example, Books, Google Books gives 3 items, while this site (and others) show the pictures and data of more than 20 items! [[29]] [[30]] [[31]] This misleads almost everyone, presents the subject non-notable with only one citation and three books, thus, I had to go over this problem and collect printed material. Would you kindly investigate the refreshed article, is my work now sufficient? I saw your contributions and you seem to me an expert of biographic works with erudition, would you please help me a little bit? If you would have any advice, any proposal, any suggestion please let me know. Sincerely yours, Norbert (a Hungarian). 89.133.187.29 (talk) 20:42, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Donald Trump, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting.

My comments, which referred very carefully and specifically to points in the article, were all clearly and impeccably sourced, and the word “alleged” (i.e. by the former president of Mexico) was clearly stated. Ergo, the squeals of BLP violation were just crying wolf. I’ll let your meddling with my comments stand, as any more back and forth would only serve as a distraction from discussing the merits or otherwise of the article to which I linked. Also of course, several years' observation of users like you at political talk pages has taught me that tangling with them there rarely ends well for either party.
