I was wondering if you would have any objection to undoing the most recent changes by DaivdWestT to the Walter O'Brien page back to the 11th. I noticed you had made some changes. The things added by this person seem very.. promotional. The vast majority of the changes he has made have been to this page and in the same letter. byo (talk) 07:52, 17 November 2015 (UTC) Thanks for the mention.

Hello there! Thanks for the correction. Anyway, the problem is not that Dead Man's Chest is "improperly" called a sea chanty, but the internal link itself. Disambiguation pages are mainly used for resolving conflicts in article titles (see: Help:Disambiguation). And, in this case, it does not improve readers understanding. Also, both the disambiguation page ("[...]a song sung by sailor's (not necessarily a shanty), as defined by the OED") and the Sea shanty page ([...]in recent, popular usage, the scope of its definition is sometimes expanded to admit a wider range of repertoire and characteristics, or to refer to a “maritime work song” in general") only serve to increase the confusion over the subject. IMHO, linking to Sea shanty, which is the nearest article on the subject, or eventually unlinking it are the best solutions to apply. However, do what you see fit for this case.
There is no need to reply to this post, and happy editing. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 11:11, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for publishing and maintaining the page for Mohawk Guy, Bobak Ferdowsi. Just wanted to point out a error in the record. Bobak was not actually flight director during Curiosity's landing. He was seated in an activity lead position adjacent to Martin Greco, who was in fact the activity lead for the landing. I hesitate to make edits to the page myself since I was involved with the mission and therefore could be construed as having a conflict of interest. I respectfully request that you investigate and improve the accuracy of the article yourself. I recommend that you source the original NASA footage and photographs of the events rather than second hand reports, many of which are taken out of context. The cited photo captures everyone in their assigned position in the weeks prior to the landing.[1]--Shamu91 (talk) 19:40, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
You're asking the right questions. Entries made by NASAJPL on the Gigapan image are the authoritative source for responsibilities during the landing but don't address roles before and after the landing shift itself. Thanks! Shamu91 (talk) 19:16, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I revised List of winners of the National Book Award (view history) in a way that is obviously incomplete; inserted template {{underconstruction}}; and consulted one of my mentors (User talk: Mirokado, section Refs or Notes nested in [ref]s or {efn}s).
I hadn't quite realised until I revisited tonight that the page you "created" at the Orange Prize is in fact almost a copy-and-paste of the text that was created in the lead of the list of winners, can you show me where you provide the attribution of this text in accordance with the terms of the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License?

Where is this "freeze" you keep referring to? What policy or guideline are you referring to? Could you link me to it please? Also, you haven't quite answered the question why you need a main article which duplicates most of the prose and references verbatim and then has a blank section for linking out to the winners, when a simple single article could cover that, imagine how much easier that is for our readers!

A few qualities of this comment (and, potentially, the editor that left it) give me pause, specifically:
...and maybe it's just me, but even they're writing style bears some resemblance to an editor with whom we've recently dealt with on that page. Which is why I ask: is it just me, or do you see it too? Mind you, I'm not about to go there and make rash accusations. Despite the impressions my comments on that page may have given, I'm not fundamentally opposed to a professional author rewriting that page, as long as they do it incrementally, in line with policy, and without obvious bias toward there own (or any one) work. (In particular, I'm still concerned that Wells meets the criteria of a "fringe" viewpoint.) From what I saw, the author in question was unable or unwilling to meet those criteria, so I may have been a bit harsh, and hence I am treading even more lightly now.

I'm following the format of the Roman Empire article to a considerable extent, but the analogy is not exact. Those historians were largely contradicting one another, but in our case the scholars largely agree on the big picture that humanity is in trouble due to proliferating hazards from new technology, and that the time scale is 100 years, maybe less. However, their ideas sometimes conflict regarding which hazards are important and what to do about them. TeddyLiu (talk) 03:02, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Green Cardamom: Can you respond to my on my sandbox? TeddyLiu (talk) 22:44, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
Structurally it is like the Roman Empire article, but has problems for Wikipedia. It reads like an original essay of personal opinions. It is also unsourced. It would run into many complaints from other editors. Some examples from the first few paragraphs:
I could go on but there is a lot of issues for Wikipedia purposes. Suggest checking out WP:NPOV, WP:V and WP:RS. This is a good base if you can source stuff and tone down the language to be more NPOV with no opinionated language or POV's. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:25, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm... I seem to be getting mixed messages about the current state of Wikipedia's future. On one hand editors are encouraged to submit articles and urge others to do so as well. Then I get messages stating some articles are not worthy of their hard drive space. I didn't realize up until now that some books, especially those published by small companies, don't make the grade.
To answer your question I am in no way realated to or have any financial involvement with Mr. Lansdale. I've only met him once about 4 years ago. I live in the far north suburbs of Chicago near the Wisconsin border and he lives in a small city in East Texas. I would be less than honest if I didn't state, and I think it's pretty obvious, I am a huge fan of his work. I'm also a huge fan of many writers and grew up reading Stephen King. That being stated if you feel some of these limited edition books, no matter how wonderful, shouldn't all have their own articles, I'll stop. PKDASD (talk) 21:09, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Concerning Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gatestone Institute: By reacting on Hawkswin, who didn't sign his his message, and by entering the word keep by an anonymous user, it appears that your vote for delete was nullified by Hawkswin's vote, which, by lack of a signature, is counted as your vote. See here. Maybe you can look what can be done by it. If some lazy administrator just want to count the votes, the article will stay for all the wrong reasons. And I don't want that to happen.

I've added some secondary references to the Oxford Brookes Students' Union article, which should prove its notability. I agree that TLE is a primary source, however as a student magazine it represents a complete week-by-week record of the history of the university, such knowledge could not be found elsewhere in any secondary sources.
On 2 October 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Kenneth A. Bollen, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that sociologist Kenneth A.

If you have a problem with me or with SpacemanSpiff (talk · contribs) wrt hounding then take either or both of us to WP:ANI, please. Making random suggestions at an AfD will achieve nothing.

Of course, anyone is welcome to recreate provided that they act within our policies/guidelines. - Sitush (talk) 19:29, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
The article now should be able to survive AfD if listed there again. However, a Wikipedian looking at a variety of sources and concluding and posting "In 2013 ... Capturing Love: The Art of Lesbian and Gay Wedding Photography ... was reviewed by (insert numerous sources)" is original research by the Wikipedian, not a summary of what the sources are saying. The original research is why the article received all the negative reactions. That ""In 2013" information in the article should be revised to instead summarize what the cited sources say about the topic. There's no reason to keep a lightning rod in the article and editing it out of the article will significantly lower resistance to the article. -- Jreferee (talk) 16:21, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying about local San Diego news not being given much weight, but on top of the Today Show and Huffington Post, I would argue that TechCrunch should have as much weight as Huffington Post as a source.
References 7-10 are for pioneering medical research in the field of colon cancer and were published in national medical journals. They are available online through PubMed. What criteria are used for determining the weight of medical research and sources?
Also, last week the American Society of Clinical Oncology featured Dr. Eisenberg in an article. Would this national article be given any weight? http://connection.asco.org/Magazine/Article/ID/3676/Songs-of-the-Soul.aspx

Hello! There are several external, reliable, third-party sources for the entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Ra
Can you please remove the "pending review" tag? Not sure why one editor first decided to change the name of the entry (until another editor switched it back to the correct, original entry), then he marked the article for deletion and he is not really paying attention to all the external sources. He searched for "Frank Ra" and commented the subject of the page is not the only one there, but the editor did not notice the other entries are not about Frank Ra but people called Frank RaMON etc. Thanks for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.180.157.184 (talk) 01:34, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
Dear Green Cardamom, Hi I noticed in your contribtuion to the Afd for that you have longish list of reviews of some of the books. Several of them are to a publication Reference & Research Book News. Do you know anything about this publication? It seems to me, and this is only an impression without expert knowledge, that it might be an on demand reviewing service where they provide a review of all the books sent to them (i.e. it could be "A vanity reviewer"). Do you know about them at all? I am asking because I am bit worried about the article. I have voted keep in a previous afd and think we should probably keep a trimmed down version of the page but it is very problematic as it stands. Also looking at Google scholar - one of his most cited works is "Towards a Socio-Liberal Theory of World Development." This is reported as being cited 45 times http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&q=%22Towards+a+Socio-Liberal+Theory+of+World+Development.%22&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= but when you look at the citations most (by far) seem to be self citations. There are though at least a couple of reviews of it in your list in "normal" journals - Politcal Studies and Journal of Econ Lit - but how long are these? The PS one is only about a paragraph in a longer review (a page) on a series of books. I have not accessed the JEL one yet - but it might easily be just a listing. Any thoughts? Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 13:56, 15 November 2013 (UTC))
Hi Green Cardamom
Thank you for reviewing the Cloudmachine article. It was however not declined on notability issues on the Dutch wikipedia. It just was written bad. Cloudmachine has more fans outsie of Holland than inside, nobody made the page in the Netherlands. I do think the band is notable enough given all the connections.

I saw your note at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Michael L.J. Apuzzo. The way it works, is that you first have to submit it, then wait a few minutes for the bot to catch up, and then accept it. (The system defaults to listing you as the submitter, but you can change that) . However, it needs some work--it's a partial rewrite of a properly rejected G11, and I have marked it as under review and I am cleaning it up a little, & will then accept it. The first thing I did was move the named professorship to the first sentence, because, according to WP:PROF, that's the simplest proof of notability, AfC is weird. There is no excuse for the complications, which discourage rather than encourage proper reviews. I have had so much resistance in trying to get it improved that Ive given up, and just work around it.

Hello, Firstly, thank you for producing this - it is a great help to a beginner (such as myself). However, I was wondering if you would be able to update it? There are new modules out from MMP and one upcomming (Decision at Elst). If not I could try and formulate a new diagram base on what you have provided? Thanks again - a great resource.

Dear Green Cardamom: The above abandoned Afc draft was declined because it lacked sources. I added some, but now it can't be added to the encyclopedia because there is a stub article which you created. The Afc article is much more extensive. Would you object if thie Afc version replaced the one your created? It appears to predate it, and it looks as though yours was intended as a placeholder. Yours could become a redirect if you like. —Anne Delong (talk) 11:09, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
Hey Green Cardamom, just FYI, the consensus at Talk:Susan_RoAne#Unencyclopedic_Content (between me, User:Dream_Focus, and User:Agricola44) was to remove the extensive description of works we that considered more trivial than her publications in Harpers, Success, and Inc. Please pick up the discussion there, before re-instating the extra content. I'm not against it if consensus changes. Sancho 06:56, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:The Story Of Vernon And Irene Castle - The Yama Yama Man.ogv. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:42, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear GreenC,
Thanks for catching me on being fast and loose at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gregory_Orfalea. Indeed Library holdings themselves are not codified as notable, similarly to h-indexes. But while a high h-index (or low) is a good proxy for "something actually notable will be found" for scientists, high library holdings have seemed a very good proxy for something notable in the humanities and non-quantitative social sciences. I can't think of an AfD I've participated in where an author with library holdings above 400 has been deleted (it may even be as low as 250 that I've ever seen deleted, but I'm almost 100% confident at 400). As you noted, it probably means that there are reviews out there -- indeed the only way that 400 libraries know to buy a book is either that it's from an extremely important press (I would assert, almost notable in itself) or that it has been reviewed somewhere that librarians read. I was sloppy in my presentation at AfD, but one of the forces I am most pushing against is the notion held by some who participate in AfDs often that h-indexes mean anything in the humanities. I've been on a lot of hiring and promotion cases in musicology and never heard the words h-index or citation count emerge in any discussion. Thanks for listening. Maybe we can continue the discussion on WP:PROF? Best, -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 17:38, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me about the Wikilegal response. It is very inconclusive though I dare say that is the only kind of response they could have made given the way the law is right now. There is a potential problem with non-free use of sound files on WP. It has not escaped some people's attention that federal fair use law is a prerequisite for WP hosting "non-free" files. With no federal protection for old records, there is not (may not be) federal fair use exemption either.
BTW, on my way here I was distracted by your user page and I'm glad to have seen it before someone sends it to MFD! What a fascinating paper about oligarchies.

I will take your word for it that the source (the Israel book) says that the font was sourced from the NYT. This is interesting if true. Would it be possible to quote the exact passage where the source says that? 1969 was before PCs, so they couldn't just use Times New Roman. The typeface is definitely Times, but some of the letters look distressed, as if printed on rough newspaper stock. Look at the differences between the capital "A"s and the two "e"s. The one on the top is sharp, the one on the bottom looks like 18th century printing. How did they do that? Did they photocopy the actual letters in the newspaper, or did they use some other technique? -- Margin1522 (talk) 02:46, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I'm wondering at the logic of adding Archive.org searches to articles. I'm fairly skeptical of "further reading" and "see also" and "external links" at all times - excellent cruft-magnets - but in the case of a search, we aren't even pointing to an actual list of works that any Wikipedia editor has checked, as the list is presumably dynamic and could include duplicates, minor editions and commentaries on works, old discredited or corrupt versions, almost anything. Ordinary readers are hardly going to work their way through such a search; people who do can presumably work out how to use a search box for themselves, given they've used the boxes on Wikipedia, Google, Amazon and everywhere else. Editors seeking to improve the article might possibly find such a thing useful, but then they will surely know how to find and search archives for themselves, and in any case editing tools do not belong in main space. All in all, I'd oppose putting these searches in the great majority of articles, if not all of them - and would want to see justification for them in each individual case. Sorry, but there it is.

Hello GreenC. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

If you wish to post something about improving the article at Talk:Solar Roadways by all means please do. This edit, which you restored even after my initial promo complaint, is not about article improvement but rather its about corporate damage control and investor relations. That means the intent is promotional, which is outside the scope of the talk page guidelines. Note I have redacted corporate slams for the same reason. We could have a great article if partisans stuck to our policy on WP:NPOV. Please try harder and add whatever you wish - pro or con - that is relevant and supported by WP:Reliable sources.

As someone who has been active on the talk page, you may be interested in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter O'Brien. --Rob Sinden (talk) 09:38, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Green. Happy New Year.
Please don't "WorldCat move to authority control" robotically (and that edit summary is inappropriate where the "move" is a "deletion" as for Cornelia Meigs). There is a clue or two in the code that you should examine --two in case of Cornelia Meigs (recent change), both the annotation "Meigs using pseudonym" and the name parameter value "|Adair Aldon" that is distinct from the primary name.
Most of the {worldcat id} footer links that I have created in biographies that include template {Authority control} --certainly dozens-- must be different from this example [a] library use of multiple ID for one person. Either [b] distinct persons such as family members and occasional co-creators, commonly without their own wikipedia pages, who do have LCCN that WorldCat uses. Or [c] people without LCCN, whose WorldCat id thus begins with 'np' or 'viaf' or something else other than 'lccn'.
Your work on this appears more than once on my Watchlist. I don't plan to check any others this weekend but please take care. I provided an explanation for "everyone" at Template talk:Worldcat id#Superseded by Template:Authority control? but I wonder whether "no one" visits that page.
I doubt that I have created literally redundant {worldcat id} links but I understand --and have noted on both template talk pages-- why someone might do so. Because template {{authority control}} is located in the code following any genuine external link and any internal navbox or succession box, its message may be displayed far below the top of the section, certainly beyond the first External links screen. See Aristotle#External links, for instance (one where you deleted {worldcat id}).

Total Newbie Bonehead here who was pointed your way because I was hoping to put links on wikipedia articles on books to LibriVox recordings. I found the WorksByProject page and thought "I better contact Mr. Green before I mess things up completely."

I used to work a a programmer, GreenC, a long time ago and I don't think I would be much help now. I would be happy to start manually adding librivox templates to wikipedia book pages, at least until the process is automated. My big concern is that some folks at LibriVox fear the current template may not work as it was set up to work, and also that they might change the interface on their website which may "break" the template. I have asked if, considering the changes they have in mind, the template couldn't be updated then, as long as it still process the author's name along with the book's title. I'll keep you posted on this. Regarding your existing project, it doesn't sound like my efforts would interfere. I have asked another wikipedia-er if they could verify - by code inspectoin - the current template works for author & book and hope to hear back soon. Is there anything else I need to know or do, or could do for you? Just curious, what computer languages/environments are involved in your current author project? TimoleonWash (talk) 04:20, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
That was quick Mr. GreenC, thx. Regarding LibriVox's requirements, so far I can't say. I have bitten off perhaps more than I can chew and I am having a difficult time understanding everything necessary to be expert. Still, I think if LibriVox changes anything in the future they will consider the requirements of this new template. And Wow! It is very clear. I'll be adding some links in wikipedia in the next few days and if it ever gets to the point at LibriVox that they make this an official process any issues at that time would get worked out. For now, it works wonderfully for my purposes. I'll keep you posted and don't know what I can say to thank you enough. I will try to pass it along. TimoleonWash (talk) 12:58, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Hey Green Cardamom,
First off, nice to meet you. I noticed some of your recent AWB edits for the "Works By Project" and saw an unintended formatting change that leaves two blank lines after any templates at the top of pages. See here (immediately following line 1) and here (immediately following line 1). This addition of space leaves quite a bit of whitespace in between the templates and the beginnings of articles. Do you think you could fix this for upcoming changes made through AWB? Thanks, Airplaneman ✈ 16:22, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! I was really impressed by the constructive and non-acrimonious tone and contributions from everyone involved in the recent AFD discussion on the Alliance of Women Directors article. What could have been—with the wrong editors involved—a very nasty debate, turned into a very positive discussion. Even editors who strongly felt that the article should be deleted worked hard to find sources and fix problems with it. This is the kind of positive collaboration people don't hear a lot about in Wikipedia-land and I'd like to recognize it. Carl Henderson (talk) 19:58, 3 April 2015 (UTC) |

I've reached out to a few editors on this page already encouraging them to observe Wikipedia's Assume Good Faith and Civility policies, by focusing on content, rather than the editors. I think the discussion is making progress and (hopefully) new editors are learning how to collaborate with other editors productively through this process. However, it doesn't help with comments like "And editors like Winkelvi will assume bad faith." That's not a good argument for making content decisions at all.
It's certainly not the worst type of conduct problem we've seen on the page, but it's basically taunting another editor to perpetuate the type of bickering that is best avoided and has been problematic throughout the article's history. I'd encourage you to to strike or remove it, so we can try to keep the discussion focused on content questions. CorporateM (Talk) 18:33, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Green Cardamom,
Hello! Why are you reverting the Quality Distribution page to the older, stale information? In the new version, there is no marketing material, etc. If you review a Quality Distribution earnings release (Nasdaq: QLTY), you will see under "About Quality" the information listed is accurate as in our 10K, etc. that you can find on SEC.gov.
The information listed currently is stale and not accurate, let's come to a conclusion so that the information does not get reverted back and forth.
Thank you!

Rather than categorically revert these edits to Walter O'Brien please consider the rationale.
-We're simply not following the sources on the "Boston Bombing", leading to the straw man created by Asher Langdon.
-The IQ is an accuracy question brought up by Karlin. She is one of those who interviewed him about it. The questions on IQ belong with her other questions about his bio.
The community "wikis" we refer to aren't all wikis. And the random selection of one stating revenues of $66k is gratuitous. The point is online there is unreliable (per Karlin) info and it's conflicting.
Just looking forward to your reply.

I see you've edited Wilhelm von Humboldt recently; I edited the article a few months ago to improve the prose and correct minor errors. I don't understand this edit, and I don't think the edit summary is the most appropriate language. Regardless of whether this editor is correct or not, I thought I'd point out an incomplete sentence that was not changed by this edit: "This essay on the philosophy of speech:" and what looks like an orphaned set of close-curly brackets. Perhaps you can review the edit and make the needed corrections. CorinneSD (talk) 00:56, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Eliot Higgins 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 get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. NeilN talk to me 21:14, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
I note you claim a BLP exemption for reverts here. There is no blanket exemption for removing controversial but properly sourced information from a BLP. Continue edit warring and you will end up blocked. --NeilN talk to me 21:20, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
GreenC, I'm writing here because (as Kingsindian suggested) polluting the talk page of Eliot Higgins is not a good idea. I'm concerned that you think my editing has an anti-Higgins bias. You say: "The only thing you have contributed to this article is criticism of Higgins". Can I point out that referencing criticism is not inherently a bias if it uses reputable sources (and the RfC that ruled in my favour agreed the sources were admissible). Our current RfC concerns whether Richard Lloyd can be called "a former UN weapons inspector". I don't know whether this will be the final wording but again it is not biased to call him such. Professors Wallace and Silander call him exactly that (see citations in the talk page) and I assume you are not accusing them of bias. In short, it seems to me that you seem to be conflating criticism with bias - or am I missing something? Ph1ll1phenry (talk) 06:35, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

I read the train attack article. I don't know what is a Thalys but I do know what a train is. That is what I searched for. However, I cannot vote in that talk page. Sorry. It is locked to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lake of Butter (talk • contribs) 03:23, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
The stats for 2015 Thalys attack shows that the article has already been viewed 22,997 times, while the talk page has been viewed 643 times. That's 2.7% of the traffic.
Keeping this tag up on a high traffic article for 7 whole days means that it is likely to be viewed by more than 22,000 people reading the article. Of those, fewer than 2.7% will have any input to make.
You have the following templates available:
Option 1: {{Cleanup-articletitle}}
Option 2: {{Inappropriate title-soft}}
Option3: {{Disputed title}}
Out of these options, you have chosen the worst one. The {{disputed title}} includes a wikilink to Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute, when the proposed title only adds the word "train" - and there is no dispute over the accuracy of the original page title (just stylistic choice) and the article's factual contents are not in dispute. The caution sign and bold text convey to readers that there is a major issue that they need to be aware of, which is inappropriate when there is no dispute over factual accuracy or neutrality of the current title.
You can change this to {{Cleanup-articletitle}} that uses a yellow line with the cleanup symbol, and it will still have bold text that the current article is "inappropriate for Wikipedia" (when the proposal is to add the word "train" to the title).
The {{Inappropriate title-soft}} option has the purple tag, that does not have a warning logo and does not have bold text, but still invites readers to read the talk page and join the discussion on the suggestion to move the page, without stating in bold text that the current title is inappropriate, or the source of an Accuracy Dispute.
Taking 7 days to address this will expose 22,000 people to the hazard symbol.

Hi. I noticed your June revision of Kenneth and Mamie Clark#External links. (You made a typo that generated a red error message but that's beside the point.)
Only one template {{Authority control}} is permitted for one article, and that one should fit the article, so a joint or group biography should carry the template only if VIAF recognizes a corporate entity. Example: Brothers Hildebrandt#External links. The AC templates for the Clarks are on their personal redirects Kenneth Bancroft Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark --and their joint biography footer carries manual LCCN/WorldCat links-- since my April revision .

Hello Green Cardamom, I have seen you around the AfD and from what I gather you are exceptionally good at determining notability. I have a few questions that I am pretty sure you can answer.
If a person has received NYFA fellowship and a Pollock Krasner grant, does it make the notable even when they have not received a lot of media coverage? I am referring to the artist Mariella Bisson.
Second, are all Guggenheim fellows notable? I see that there are quite a lot of GF fellows who are not on Wikipedia. Would it be a good idea to pick artists from there and write their pages?
Third, what do you think about these two people? Draft:Tom Cridland and Draft:Daniel Bauer (make-up artist). They seem notable to me but I'd like your opinion before I start working on their drafts.Susana Hodge (talk) 04:39, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
