A belated thanks
editYour contributions to the JDL article were timely. Will Beback seems fair minded and capable so I was willing to let it slide but you struck to your guns and checked the sources. Kudo's and salutations. Albion moonlight 07:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Improvement!
editExcellent job of cleaning up the overly exuberant language someone introduced around Churchill's defenders Witherspoon and Mayer. I entirely agree that leaning on "professor" repeatedly is absurd, as is a peacock word like "preeminent". We don't agree much... so I'd like you to know that I appreciate good edits when you make them. LotLE×talk 20:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.--Getaway 20:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Ward Churchill Controversy on 9/11
editNice job paring down the Mayer quote and sprucing up my additions. You're good! Could you weigh in on the talk page about the block quotes vs. bordered quotes? Cheers and solidarity, --Dylanfly 20:21, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree Lulu: Re Churchill.
editI was just thinking out loud that if we could agree to move the controversial stuff to a fully separate article and keep the Bio mostly as a discussion of his books we would be able to avoid BLP issues. My comments were intermingled with other peoples comments. I was trying to show Preston the error in his interpretation of Wiki BLP . I made nice with him on his talk page and I think he will be easier to deal with in the future. This is not to say he will change his pov but he does seem to show an interest in learning more about wiki policy. So hang in there and know that I am willing to help you fix that article and all its forks. I do not edit boldly yet because I am new to the enterprise. I read and or watch a lot of the articles but I still haven't done anything as bold as reworking a whole section of an article. I intend do this soon in a less controversial article . I am also thinking of starting an article on Churchill's "Agents of Repression". Albion moonlight 11:51, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Gay cowboy
editThe term "gay cowboy" is only offensive if you think it's offensive to be gay. Since being gay is a perfectly fine thing to be, there's no problem with this term. That is all I will say for now. Beyond this, I do not wish to discuss this topic with you one-on-one. Please take your concerns to the Jake Gyllenhaal talk page (where I believe you'll find previous discussion). I only restored the edit; I did not put it there originally. --Melty girl 21:42, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Excuse me, but the same goes for you as far as revisions. You're the sole person trying to change something that stood for a long time without any problem. You are the one who changed language, while I am the one who restored it. Others do not agree with you. You haven't attained consensus to make your CHANGES of an FA article. I think the burden is on you to make your case to the editors of the article, not vice versa. --Melty girl 00:16, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Lambda edit
editHi, I saw your removal of the [[1]] on Lambda and the reason you gave. On further searching for lambda in the page, I thought this: "(However, any type of control flow can in principle be implemented within lambda expressions[1] by short-circuiting the and and or operators.)" is equally "too specific for general article, and has a "How To" quality about it." --Paddy 07:42, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. I trimmed it down and stated the preference for named functions the other edit included (but more concisely). LotLE×talk 09:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
python link
editdear David Mertz,
you removed my link and with the comment “rm spam”. I'm a wikipedia editor since 2003 and the linked site is my site. I think it is a reasonable tutorial and uniq cross references on Perl and Python. Looking at other links at the external section, i think it's reasonable to be there. Xah Lee 17:32, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- I probably should have used the comment 'rm link farm' instead (or at least "link spam", which is distinct from "spam" generically: clearly the link wasn't ads for viagra or money loans). See Wikipedia:External links. I hadn't realized the tutorial was yours, though that reinforces the idea that it was a bit inappropriate to add. The Python article (like a lot of articles) has far too many external links already; adding every miscellaneous good article or tutorial pushes it still further.
- I'd like to reduce the links in the Python article, certainly not grow them. Anything that fails the test of "Can I understand what this topic is without that link?" should go... in WP articles generally. Actually, it's a bit more specific: external links should support a particular point in the main discussion, and lend citational support. You can't have too many of those. But external links should not be "generally interesting" external articles on the overall topic. LotLE×talk 00:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Jake
editJust as well that it's not a scare quote at all then, isn't it? It's how he was referred to all the mainstream media. Do you suppose a footnote explaining this will clear up any confusion? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 07:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- I do... if that footnote is placed either in the subsection describing Gyllenhaal's work in Brokeback, and/or in the article on the movie itself. The rather widespread use of the, admittedly, catchy phrase is noteworthy. It's just too much of a digression to go into in the lead. I'm not necessarily in love with the phrase I restored (I had tried editing it to something shorter-but-not-inaccurate a week ago or whatever). But what's there now is still relatively concise, while also not actively misrepresenting Lee's film the way the popular catchy phrase does. LotLE×talk 07:07, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Jake Redux
editYou've reached your 3RR limit on this article today. Further reversions will lead to your being blocked for edit warring. Give it some thought. Jeffpw 17:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I know that. Why on earth are you joining Dev920's edit warring to insert some inaccurate and misleading "cute" phrase in an article lead?! Do you have some misguided fantasy that the mis-characterization is some sort of gay rights thing? Or is it just pushing for worse language purely to make the article worse? Or are you just so utterly blinded by trite reviewers using dopey phrases that you can't imagine why good language matters? LotLE×talk 18:17, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Seems to me you're getting up there in reverts too, Lulu - why don't you give it a rest? The phrase is in quotes - with all due respect, whether you think it's dopey or cutesy or misguided is frankly not too interesting and certainly not relevant. Your latest edit is ok with me, more or less, but I would have liked you to leave the 4 cites there that I had just posted for more than 5 minutes so it might sink in for the people who keep removing any reference to the phrase which is ridiculous. Tvoz |talk 20:36, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- I restored one of the references. Did you see? Do you think it's important to include them all... if so, I'm certainly fine with that. I just don't want it to appear that the citation is of the fact the role is that of a gay cowboy, but rather that it's a citation to the usage of said phrase. LotLE×talk 20:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
All I know is that nearly every one who keeps reverting to the gay cowboy mode is part of the GLBT and in the absence of any other merited justification, have a political agenda to further. I notice that no one overtly denied this, and in fact, kept ignoring the point. What was accomplished was a month long protection of the page. I wish I cared enough to keep battling on this, but this is one that is simply not worth the effort. There are so many other things on WP that need attention!! Wildhartlivie 13:26, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know. If you look at the user pages of Jeffpw, Dev920, and MeltyGirl, you see that they all belong to the WP GLBT project, and have various gay-rights type comments on their home pages. All of which is 100% consistent with my own politics, FWIW (actually, I'm a lot more radical, and knowledgeable, than any of them). Of course, a WP article should not be about any editor's politics. Still, what bugs me almost as much as what was wrong with the lead sentence itself is the deeply misguided, simplistic and naive belief those editors share that repeating the (right-wing) catch phrase is somehow pro-gay. Civil rights are not served by crude essentialism, despite the prevalence of bad thinking among pro-rights people (as among people in general). LotLE×talk 19:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not part of any LGBT project, I'm not gay, I'm not right wing, and I don't think that adding that phrase is either pro or anti gay. I'm editing an article about an actor, fachrissakes, with no political agenda in mind. The movie was called the "gay cowboy" movie all over the place - to pretend otherwise is absurd. I don't really care if it has the qualifying words saying that was the media usage - I think it's unnecessary, but it's not wrong, so fine. And yes, I'd like more refs in there because it makes the point of how widespread the phrase was. Tvoz |talk 19:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Then it's a good thing we didn't say you were. But some of the others clearly have an agenda.Wildhartlivie 23:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

404
editI went back to rm this having done more research, and you already had. Thanks. The similarity is mentioned in Apollo Guidance Computer which I was working on and I've updated the 00404 bit in that article with a cite which strongly indicates no common origin (although if there were, I think it would have been interesting enough to mention). All the best to you! Gwen Gale 05:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- It's a sort of absurd assertion. There are a bunch of other apocryphal stories too about this code number, none particularly worth repeating (but lots of them in the article edit history).
- It's just weird that anyone thinks this is a thing that needs further explanation: As the article perfectly well explains, HTTP status codes follow a fairly straightforward pattern; and moreover, HTTP codes are largely similar to those used by the much earlier FTP protocol. Sure it's possible that Berners-Lee might have arbitrarily decided to give reverse meaning to, e.g. 404 vs. 403 (and then probably, people would be searching for occurrences of the number 403 that seem vaguely similar to HTTP "not found"). But it's not as if the protocol uniquely uses a funny number for this one status; every return message has some numeric status code. LotLE×talk 07:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Criticism of Lacan
editYou seem to have removed large amounts of criticism of Lacan. Why is that?MarkAnthonyBoyle 21:21, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- These so-called criticism sections in academic articles are almost always idle gossip, and pejoratives by non-notable casual readers of the underlying thinker. Such was definitely the case for the Lacan article... and I see just now, it's much worse in the Freud article, that you've contributed to. Criticism sections (on academic thinkers) should alway be concise, and not outweigh the neutral description; and, in particular, they should focus on criticisms by people in a position to judge (i.e. in the relevant fields), not simply outside thinkers with passing opinions of other fields. LotLE×talk 21:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Lulu you might want to see my post about MarkAnthonyBoyle's additions at WP:RS/N. I think you're spot on about this particular case. I also think you've hit the nail on the head as regards criticism sections in philosophy and academic articles generally. There is (generally speaking) a case of WP:UNDUE in many, such as Lacan and Freud, but also in gender studies articles.
As far as policy goes there is nothing wrong with "outside thinkers" (to use your term) critizing disciplines or academics, however unless those criticisms are regarded as important by the field they're criticizing then the criticism remains a fringe idea. And we can measure how important the mainstream regards an idea by how many times it or its authors are cited.
In this case I haven't found any books/articles/journals citing Buekens unpublished book on Lacan so as far as I'm concerned it aint a reibale source--Cailil talk 23:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Lulu you might want to see my post about MarkAnthonyBoyle's additions at WP:RS/N. I think you're spot on about this particular case. I also think you've hit the nail on the head as regards criticism sections in philosophy and academic articles generally. There is (generally speaking) a case of WP:UNDUE in many, such as Lacan and Freud, but also in gender studies articles.
- It is a balancing act, of course, in regard to "outside thinkers". Obviously, I don't think that a criticism of, e.g., psychoanalysis in general is non-notable if it comes from a non-analyst. Clearly, someone who criticizes the entire field of study probably isn't a practitioner of it. But the place for a criticism of "psychoanalysis in general" isn't the Lacan article (the Freud article is a special case, since he founded the field; but even there, I'd rather push the bulk of such "in general" criticism elsewhere). The best place for that sort of thing might be psychoanalysis, or maybe a child like criticisms of psychoanalysis. Unless the criticism is of Lacan specifically (rather than of some more general trend or school he belongs to), his article isn't the right place.
- The same principle, of course, applies to any other field with notable practitioners. I think evolutionary psychology is 90% hogwash, but putting that fact in the Richard Dawkins or Steven_Pinker articles is the wrong place for it. Or likewise, I've encountered many such WP:UNDUE criticism of post-modernist/structuralist thinkers: It's one think to point out the ways that Slavoj Zizek takes issue with Judith Butler (good and relevant to observe, though of course still not to belabor); it's quite a less worthwhile topic to include some rant by one of those folks who hate everthing about so-called post-modernism, and who knows only that Butler is one name often included in that tendency of thought. LotLE×talk 23:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
None of the people I quoted were "non-notable casual readers" or even "outside thinkers". Unless you consider Lacan to be "outside" psychoanalysis, or perhaps that psychoanalysis is "outside" psychology, or "outside" philosophy, or perhaps "outside" linguistics. They were "concise" quotes. They were about Lacan, and about Freud, specifically in each case. They were by people well respected in their fields who had made a study of Lacan or Freud as the case may be, and found deficiencies in the thought and character of those individuals. Morover they represent a broad consensus of opinion; they are not "idle gossip". It is true that they are scathing, and that they seriously question the credibility of each of these men. That is preciseley the point. I am not soap boxing here. I am attempting to provide NPOV in articles that otherwise protray highly contentious thinkers as being without anything but minor, arcane quibbles from scholars generally sympathetic to their views. On a personal note (this is really none of my business, and you can ignore it if you want) I just wonder why it is that 1. you seem to be completely unaware that such criticism is extant throughout the associated sciences and disciplines associated with these thinkers, and 2. so concerned that these figures be immune (or seem to be immune) from criticism in an encyclopedia article about them? MarkAnthonyBoyle 23:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- I wonder if you have ever read an encyclopedia article?! Rather than soapboxing, as you wish to for these psychoanalytic figures (perhaps for others, I haven't looked at your edit history), an encyclopedia presents a neutral description of the contributions of a particular thinker to his or her field of inquiry. That's what we should do: WP can be better than traditional encyclopedias like EB, but we should start by looking to traditional ones for tone, at least.
- So, for example, check what EB has to say about Freud or Lacan. You'll find that there is absolutely nothing there on the personalistic "criticism" angle. What you might find is criticisms from within pyschology, but even there the tone and content will be far more concise and professional than the ad hominems you hope to insert or have inserted on WP.
- This is not something special to psychoanalysis, however. You seem to have some sort of personal animosity to that field. So perhaps I can convince you to move laterally and examine the tone of article in other fields. What does EB write about Leó Szilárd in physics? Or Theodosius Dobzhansky in biology? Or George Herbert Mead in social psychology? Or pick any famous academic from any field you like. What you'll notice is that every single EB article on every such figure is completely free of the sort of "critical" rants that you are trying to put into the articles on these psychoanalytic thinkers (and no, it's not because any of them were saintly and never criticized, it's because EB writes encyclopedia articles). LotLE×talk 23:17, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Encyclopaedic tone
editOn reflection your comments are fair enough. While I find those quotes I put in amusing and liberating (tell it like it is!) they don't properly belong in an encyclopaedia. But I do think it is important to avoid 1. hagiography, 2. obfuscation, 3. patronising remarks by other editors over matters of disagreement. Fair enough?MarkAnthonyBoyle 07:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I often find a juicy epithet rather amusing as well, but such is very rarely the stuff of encyclopedia articles. Perhaps some quip by Dorothy Parker, or Winston Churchill, or Oscar Wilde, might have a place in their own articles (just to name a few rather skilled epithet writers), but not in the articles of those people they insulted (even assuming the latter are themselves notable people).
- I agree that hagiography is a danger; in general, however, I've seen that trap fallen into on WP far less often than I have the symmetrical one of false balance: i.e. in a biography, add one "critic" for every supporter or assertion of the bio subject her/himself.
- You had remarked somewhere recently (I noticed looking through your recent contributions) that a good tone was to write, e.g., "Freud argued that X" rather than "Freud discovered X". In general, that seems correct. There's a danger of circumlocution if you try to contextualize exactly who believed a particular thing, in what year, and in what context. But where it doesn't get in the way, observing that an idea is a position of the bio subject rather than a neutral discovery is indeed much more neutral. That said, if a paragraph or section leads with "In X's theory of Y..." you can pretty much just state the contents for a while without inserting "according to X" in each later sentence. It's sort of understood that a set of ideas explicated in a section are the ideas of the person the article or section is about (not the universally accepted "truth"). But getting tone right is subtle. LotLE×talk 07:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

No interest
editI have no desire talking to the conservative anon.
I had to deal with him at Talk:Alliance_for_Progress getting a third party involved before he stopped his edit warring.
he has accused me of stalking him when I created the Lewy article.
I would rather communicate through third parties.
I didn't want you to ask you for your opinion because of that "ant" comment 1 1/2 years ago never sat well with me. Based on that experience, I am probably wasting my time with this message, so I will end it here. Travb (talk) 03:15, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- I have no recollection what "ant comment" occurred 1.5 years ago; I'm not sure from your remark here who made such comment either. I also have no idea what prior edit conflicts you might have had with the anon, nor about her/his political leanings (I don't doubt your characterization is correct, I just don't have any prior knowledge).
- In any case, the matter of section titles in the Lewy article does not have anything to do with any such history; it's just a minor matter of consistency and stylistic preference. As I stated, I think the anon's choice is slightly better, but I'm hardly stridently opposed to your use of exact book titles. The point is, this isn't something to decide by who can revert the most times; it's the sort of thing that should be discussed on an article talk page... even if by necessity with editors with whom you have past conflicts. LotLE×talk 03:36, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments. Hope the ward churchill page is doing well :) Travb (talk) 16:16, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Since he has decided to discuss me on this page without giving any indication of doing so, I feel I should explain myself briefly. My recent interest in Lewy comes primarily from finally picking up my own copy of his America in Vietnam (hence my ability to reference specific quotes and pages). The past conflicts come from the article he mentioned and a few others where he proceeded to revert my edits (including deletions of tendentious, unsourced content) wholesale on Richard Pipes and Abbie Hoffman. This appears to be yet another example of his elevating personality issues over content matters, but as always I am not interested in the war he appears to be waging. 129.71.73.248 21:43, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

jargon?
editAsking 100 people what is "democratic party certified" is jargon that probably 99 people won't know what you are talking about. FL and MI notes are neutrally worded. I am not saying it is a Hillary ploy or an Obama ploy. I'll let it go for now.
As for his mother's name, it is very important to list her full name. As a compromise, you can put Stanley Ann Obama (Ann Obama). What's the big fuss to remove her name? DianeFinn (talk) 18:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- If you want to change the official name of Ann Dunham's article, do that. But otherwise, that's the name she most commonly goes by, and should be linked as such. We also don't make the link say 'Stanley Ann Dunham Soetero' or 'Ann Sutoro', both of which she also went by in some contexts/times.
- As to the map... even with my reduction, it is of nominal relevance to general bio. Every extra word pushes it closer to deserving deletion from this article (clearly it is relevant to one on presidential campaign and so on). LotLE×talk 19:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
There is a wikilink to her full name. It is a matter of courtesy and dignity to use her full name. Look at the Richard Nixon article. It says his dad is Francis Nixon (and explains that he used Frank in the father's article). Doesn't this make sense? It's to show respect. DianeFinn (talk) 21:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- It contradicts Wikipedia's style guide. Period. End of story. LotLE×talk 23:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I see lots of reversions but very little discussion by you in the past 24 hours, and specifically since I placed this comment here, yet you accuses me of being "way past a 3RR violation" in your edit summary. Consensus on the Wright paragraph was well established, and even accepted by some pro-Obama editors, until you arrived. I do not choose to engage in an edit war. I choose to offer civil and constructive discussion, followed by consensus. Let's talk. The presidential campaign is the single event that makes Barack Obama more notable than someone such as Jon Tester, another freshman senator who merits only a few hundred words in Wikipedia. Four years ago, Obama was an obscure state senator in Springfield, Illinois. Without a more substantive discussion of the controversies that have arisen in this campaign, this article is in violation of WP:NPOV. Banishing controversial material to satellite articles, where it is proven that very few people will read it, does not resolve the NPOV issue in this article. Please work out these differences on the article Talk page, rather than simply reverting the well-established consensus version. Kossack4Truth (talk) 11:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- You should try reading the talk page, where there is a great deal of discussion, by me and others. As you are well aware (despite your posteuring of naivete here), what may (or may not) have been consensus on a current event two months ago doesn't make it correct for an article today.
- The number of words I reduced the Wright discussion to is basically the maximum number that is relevant to an overall biography (actually, it's probably still slightly too much, but I did that as a compromise). Longer discussion belongs in spin-off articles (and exists there). It seems obviously you have an animosity towards the bio'd figure, so want to expand to great length an aspect of his bio that you believe reflects negatively on him. It is not appropriate to try to sneak in a political editorial in place of an encyclopedia biography. There are plenty of blogs or news- or opinion-oriented web sites where you can express your opinions. This is not one of them. LotLE×talk 18:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I appreciate your removal of extraneous details from the Jeremiah Wright section. I was actually in the process of doing that myself (I removed the Ayers paragraph), but you beat me to it. Good job.Tintagel555 (talk) 16:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Your turn, then, to keep an eye on the article :-). A few editors who dislike the bio subject are putting in ever-expanding extraneous crap about Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Obama's grandfather (to try to push the "Hussein" association), and a bunch of anti-bio nonsense. Reverting crap is a good and honorable occupation, albeit not always immediately gratifying when it comes back :-). LotLE×talk 16:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
political positions obama
editI see we have common ground. Let's reduce (ok, not eliminate) the political positions section. The article should be very encyclopedic and stately. Political positions section smacks of advertising and newspaper-ish, not very dignified. See, I am not anti-Obama (or pro-Obama); I am for a grand and stately article about the next American President. DianeFinn (talk) 22:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Obama / Rezko
editTony Rezko did play a significant role in Barack Obama's early career, both as an employer and a fundraiser for campaigns. I think you might find yourself drawing a little fire from the Obama-haters for this edit. You may wish to reconsider this edit in the interests of preserving a neutral point of view (at least until the current indictment is resolved), and a study of the recent consensus debate may be useful. -- Scjessey (talk) 18:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- It just seemed odd to mention him in two different sections. The one I left in seemed to cover the basic association in the section I trimmed. But the clause I removed was fairly innocuous, and if you think it should go back in, I'll defer to you. LotLE×talk 18:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Excellent compromise, given that a month has passed since that last consensus was thrashed out. In due course, it may be possible to excise that sentence as it becomes (relatively) less notable. Good work! -- Scjessey (talk) 18:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Proseline in Barack Obama
editIn response to your revert of my edit; Please see proseline for an explanation as to what proseline is.
Essentially, the paragraph my tag is in response to is this one:
On April 22, 2008 Obama lost the Pennsylvania primary to Hillary Clinton.[100] On May 6, he won North Carolina's primary, and lost Indiana's primary.[101][102] Obama continued to lead Clinton in the count of pledged delegates (1,584 to 1,413, according to a May 6 count by the Associated Press), and by May 12 he had also assumed the lead in committed superdelegates.[103] On May 14, 2008, Obama lost the West Virginia primary by a 41 percent margin.[104] On May 20, 2008, Obama lost the Democratic primary in Kentucky by 35% and won the Democratic primary in Oregon by 16%.[105]
This is essentially a timeline, but written in the form of prose. It should be rewritten/modified so that it reads as prose like the rest of the article. Text such as "On XX date" should be replaced by "Soon after", "Following this", etc. Thanks - ARC GrittTALK 22:08, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- What you suggest seems to read much worse, as well as containing less precise information. In any case, please either make the changes you thing are appropriate (WP:BOLD), or discuss them first on the article talk page. LotLE×talk 22:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

- Sorry, I was looking at different versions, and didn't see the trimmed version. However, see my comment on the article talk... I think genealogical details on sources of names is too far a digression for main bio. LotLE×talk 18:24, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment move
editI have no problem with you moving that section of comments to user talk. For the most part, I agree with you about things like "McBush", but sometimes I get so frustrated at the activities of some editors (like the unholy trinity of Andy, Kossack and Fovean) that I feel the need to express that frustration is some relatively harmless, but public manner. Still, I will certainly give a bit more thought to what I'm typing from now on. -- Scjessey (talk) 21:24, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Your sock puppet report on K4T
editHey, I also wanted to add after Realist removed your comment on the talk page that it might not be a good idea to publicize the fact you did a sock puppet report on K4T. I completely agree with you on all the points you made in the report, it's just I don't think it's a great idea letting him know that you might suspect him as a puppet master. Brothejr (talk) 00:27, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- I let Realist know on his talk page the reason I mentioned it. Basically, I was hoping for help in identifying good evidence to show checkuser admins. However, as I tell Realist, I'll defer to his removal. LotLE×talk 00:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Additionally, until it is proved he is a sock he is still considered an innocent editer, you are potentially unnessarily putting his character in a bad light. Do not repost that until it is confirmed he is a sock. I could accuse you of it right now and add it to the talk page. Would you like that? — Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 00:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- If you had some reason to suspect sock-puppetry by me, I would encourage you to file a checkuser request :-). I really believe in following the administrative processes (as slow and frustrating as it can be), and having complete transparency about that. I'm not though, so there'd be no result to the request... well, technically, I do have two other accounts (both linked to on my user page): one is a silly joke for a user name (that has a couple dozen edits at most), another is the homepage for a semi-bot I wrote. Multiple accounts, of course, don't sock-puppets make though: the problem comes in their use for deceptive purposes. LotLE×talk 00:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Well Forevenauthor had reverted the change back to the edits that s/he had done, so I have reverted it back again to the original version. This makes it twice for that user. Brothejr (talk) 00:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

NOW you can add it to the talk page since its official, still its not going to be constuctive, i wasnt saying you were a sock. Im saying that its best to ashume innocence until proven guilty. — Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 00:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- If you would add this to the Obama talk page, that would be nice; I don't want to revert your edit. FWIW, I don't "assume innocence"... what I assume is "procedural due process." I'm quite legalistic (even though not actually a lawyer just yet... maybe someday). LotLE×talk 00:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Umm.. Jossi blocked Fovean for edit warring, not because he's a sockpuppet.[2] His block certainly wasn't due to a checkuser either as Jossi is not a checkuser. --Bobblehead (rants) 00:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, really? I'll have to ask Jossi about this. I hope a checkuser account does check it out then. LotLE×talk 00:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Here's a list of the people with checkuser access. While CUs do make appearances on SSP from time to time, if you want a checkuser to be run against Kossack and Fovean, you'll want to do it at WP:RFCU, not WP:SSP. --Bobblehead (rants) 01:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
OK, does that mean the sock case is still open though? — Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 00:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- You'd have to confirm with Jossi, but since he didn't mention sockpuppetry in the block log, his notification of Fovean of the block,[3] or his comment on SSP[4], I'd say the case is still open.--Bobblehead (rants) 00:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

- If you want to put something like that in a sandbox (say under your User page), that would be appropriate. You can include a discrete link from the candidate article talk pages. But as-is, they're disruptive of the useful article talk. LotLE×talk 01:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- What do you mean, "a discrete link from the candidate article talk pages"? That sounds like it'd work. I only wanted community input because I US infoboxes give me the most friction when I edit. The infoboxes are in my sandbox, but not the succession boxes. Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

A little bit of info to throw your way.
editI was just reading some of the comments on the Obama Talk page when I decided to go to some respective users pages. What I found there is rather interesting and might be worth including in the sockpuppet report on K4T. I found this weird comment on Jossi's talk page (sorry but I'm getting a bit too tired to dig for the exact links) from K4T:
"Hey Jossi! I notice that you blocked Fovean Author for 48 hours. How about blocking some of the blatant POV pushers who are trying to whitewash the Obama article? Anyone who doesn't like what they're doing is accused of being a sockpuppet. I voted for the guy in the primaries and I've been repeatedly accused of being an "Obama hater." I'm just trying to create a balanced, NPOV article. Some admin help is needed here to get the Obama apologists under control. You may not like Fovean Author's rhetoric but he has a valid point about these people. Kossack4Truth (talk) 22:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)"
When I went to Fovean Author's talk page: User_talk:Fovean_Author#June_2008 I see no official box informing Fovean Author that he/she is being blocked. Yet, I did see a 24 hour block on WorkerBee74 User_talk:WorkerBee74#Blocked plus a comment from another user on WorkerBee74's page made a comment: "Please stop sockpuppeting. You're only ruining any good cause to improve any articles that might otherwise be improved. The Evil Spartan (talk) 17:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)"
I just wanted to throw some more info your way.
As always, have a good one! Brothejr (talk) 01:08, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Any information you can add to the report itself is likely to be helpful. Who knows if the checkusers will do anything about it (and I'm not really sure the proper filing procedures). At worst, any data we put there can be more easily copied to future sock reports (or RFCs or other administrative documents, should it come to those). LotLE×talk 04:57, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
