Nothing will be gained by deleting Meucci from the the List of Italian inventors. He was in fact an inventor and had patents for other things. Meucci's attempt to invent an electrical telephone was a failure, but the same can be said of Reis. Meucci belongs in a list with the other telephone pioneers, even though he was not the inventor of the first successful electrical telephone. Greensburger (talk) 01:30, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you revert back to the biased polygraph intro submission:

The polygraph was invented in 1921 by John Augustus Larson, a medical student at the University of California at Berkeley and a police officer of the Berkeley Police Department in Berkeley, California. According to Encyclopædia Britannica, the polygraph was on its 2003 list of the 325 greatest inventions.[1]

Polygraphy is rejected by certain members of the scientific community because they consider it to be pseudoscience .[2] Nonetheless, polygraphs are in some countries used as an interrogation tool with criminal suspects or candidates for sensitive public or private sector employment. US federal government agencies such as the FBI and the CIA and many police departments such as the LAPD use polygraph examinations to interrogate suspects and screen new employees. Within the US federal government, a polygraph examination is also referred to as a psychophysiological detection of deception (PDD) examination.[citation needed]

First of all, the citation "1" goes back to a Polygrapher's website -- hardly unbiased. Why not allow the citation to go back to Britannica?

Secondly, by not giving context to what constitutes a "great invention," a disservice is done to the Wikipedia community because the quote in its current context appears to equate "great" with "good," and certainly not something that Brittanica intended.

Why not a compromise and allow a quote from the NAS study, which can be viewed as the scientific consensus?

Thanks.

May I wonder, why you reverted back changes to the Omaha Beach page to the version with deleted image and non-informative photo? If the wide image template doesn't match there, just notify that to change to regular image or reduce it's size.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 05:53, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I attempted to remove confusing text which was misleading people about the truth on why the flag is folded and signifigance of the flag. it was too easy to skip thru one sentence and then read the nonesense religious meanings some people have ascibed to each fold. I clarified it and you have since stated you have undone the clarification. I invite you to read thru it again and reconsider. It is especially misleading as not all service members are Christians or Jewish...and certainly no self respecting Aethist would want their casket covered with someone else's religious beleifs.

Thank you. Frizzoe (talk) 17:56, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Yoganate79

I was a bit surprised to find that my attempt to summarize the contents of the article was deleted. Since a fair share of this article and its Norwegian counterpart was contributed by myself, I can't help my (illegitimate) feeling of some ownership to the contents. I therefore keep an eye on it from time to time. Most revisions are done by vandals and will usually be deleted quickly. But this last deletion (partial, since one piece of information was reinserted) is not self-evident. In april of 2009, user Thumperward added this tag to the heading:

This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points. Please consider expanding the lead to provide an accessible overview of all important aspects of the article.

After 2 1/2 years I found that the time had come to do something about it. Obviously not the right remedy. Roede (talk) 14:40, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Our friend Magnagr has repeatedly been warned about pushing this & similar material at Radio and other articles, and has been blocked at least once for edit warring. I count four insertions today. I am unable to put together & file an EW report today myself, but would welcome seeing you do it. Please be careful to avoid a fourth revert yourself.

I put a response to your comments on the Maxim talk page. To be frank I'd hoped we could avoid imposing any specific dialect as he was a great man, regardless of origins. But your perception of a country that "steals other countries inventions" was quite intriguing. Maxim's story shows he struggled for recognition at first in Britain; he tried to sell his MG to the British Army on an exclusive basis but they were not interested! Thus it was sold to various European armies and navies before the Army bought it. On the broader topic, for decades the general perception in Britain is that the flow of intellectual capital is generally westward; it even has its own expression: "Brain drain".

PS - I have just taken a look at the talk archives at AG Bell. Very messy. I can see that you might have been trying to impose a style to avoid repeating the argument. But by removing your American English tag I was trying to avoid getting into a dispute over "claims". Either way - it is best to discuss these things first before trying to impose a style unilaterally. Best regards,Ephebi (talk) 09:26, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited State funerals in the United States, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages James Cannon and William T. Coleman (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

April 7th 2012: Subject -- Reference #130 ^ a b "CSCI 321- Software Project School of Information Technology & Computer Science". University of Wollongong. -- It does not link to a page, and I have not found anywhere else on the Internet that it states the same claims as it does on this page:『Timeline of United States inventions (1946–1991)』in the section called "1960 Global navigation satellite system" - I have not seen the claim made anywhere else that it was "under the leadership of Richard Kershner" - I'm not saying it's false. it's just that there is a faulty reference here. However, other references, even in Wikipedia, say this is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.26.65 (talk) 06:47, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that you made a mistake when you reverted (22:18, 23 April 2012‎) two edits that were recently made of the Gideon Sundback article. My edit improved the article: instead of just displaying the death date, I made sure the age was also being displayed. --82.171.13.139 (talk) 22:28, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

I don't know if you're watching this discussion. I have been attempting to address the problem of the overuse of Seedfeeder's illustrations by uploading & including historical/art images, but of course there are many, many fans of Seedfeeder's "work" who are passionately opposed to the use of anything that doesn't look like a porn still or something out of a sex manual (and also anything that doesn't reflect a dominant, male heterosexual viewpoint). I could really use some support there (if you have time & are so inclined) for my changes, though so far I have only added a few and haven't removed anything, as that would only cause an edit war right now.

Anyhow, not sure you're still interested but thought I'd let you know.

Thanks :) -- TyrS  chatties  08:15, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a former family mediator, I note your concern. It may be helpful to know that children can and do enjoy sexual experiences from an early age (remember when you were young): apparently, middle class families at the turn if the 19/20 century routinely used sexual stimulation as well as administering gin during infant teething. In fact most children do experience sexual urges during pre-adolescence. Young girls may masturbate by sitting and rocking, boys by laying face down (which may be why we guys are obsessed by motor cars?) Wet dreams are common for boys, and many quite naturally progress to conscious masturbation and experimentation with mutual masturbation, which immature conduct is simply pleasurable and transient and quite distinct from incipient homosexuality or promiscuity which is what many parents fear. In general it is best to ignore the naughty/bad behaviour, and reward the wanted conduct - but yes, I know how hard it is to look the other way when burning with fear or anger!

As a German writer i have to say, not all things were invented in US. For example the tractor were not an American invention. American writers should be more careful with their writings.

Hello. I was reading the history of the "safety pin" Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_pin), and it seems as if you posted an entry a couple years ago stating that Walter Hunt sold his patent to W.R.
