User Nahome and other keeps reverting your changes from when the article was contested to non-unbias blabber about brand, and un-relevant and unsupported facts.

Not sure but it certainly is a volatile environment over there. I posted something at Editor Assistance Requests asking for an admin to take a look. Jonathanwallace ( talk) 11:21, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
In Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Inclusion of porn film in Sarah Palin, you wrote:
Someone said "I object to the implication that invoking the mantra 'BLP', without more, constitutes an argument for omitting information." Since in recent weeks I have made that same argument here in four or five other disputes, I wanted to specify why I don't agree on this one. ... However, I believe the existence of a porn film purporting to portray or satirize the subject, without her consent, is not notable, significant, relevant, useful, or "encyclopedic".
The holidays prevented me from rejoining the discussion, but I wanted to clarify what I, as the "someone", wrote. Almost nowhere in that whole thread do I see any reasoned argument for saying that giving our readers this information would be a BLP violation. In fact, I see very few attempts. What I see are flat assertions that the information should be omitted because it's a BLP violation. My point is that that's not an argument. It's not really worthy of much attention at all. BLP is like any other policy in that it's not self-executing. An editor must explain why certain material would violate BLP. That's what I meant by the phrase "without more" -- merely saying "BLP" isn't enough.
Your comment was a cut above most because you at least didn't think that three letters constitutes a reasoned analysis. In this particular case, I partially disagree with your reasoning, because I think that "not notable, significant, relevant, useful, or 'encyclopedic'" aren't BLP considerations. If Palin died tomorrow, the arguments about the film would be unaffected (unless she died of a heart attack precipitated by finding out about the film). I think the film is only a little bit notable, significant, relevant, useful, or encyclopedic, which is why I thought that one or two sentences in one of the 20 or so Palin daughter articles would be about the right amount of coverage and would not be undue weight.
Incidentally, I largely agree with the "Bios of living people" section on your user page. JamesMLane t c 07:46, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree with your paragraph but edited it by adding that "the Congolese who fought against colonization". De Brazza is not looked upon by most Congolese as a "humanitarian" and that we believe that colonizers should not looked upon as heroes, especially since our for-fathers fought against them for their freedom.
The Mausoleum for this colonizer is a controversy and should have it's own paragraph or at the very least, the heading for Death and Memorials should be titled differently.

Hi Jonathan. Thank you for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated since I believe that history should be told from the point of view of the colonizers and those colonized. The Mausoleum Controversy section has been on wiki for nearly two years. I fail to understand why Ephebi wished to delete the section, since it has been referenced and was approved. Again, thank you for your input. Nzingamina 22:05, 17 January 2011 (UTC). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.66.230.128 ( talk)
Ephebi, you have attempted to re-write history by re-organizing the Mausoleum Controversy into a Death and Memorial section. There is nothing memorial about De Brazza to many Congolese. My main issue is that for over two years, this section was approved by Wikipedia based on the references and I fail to see your point in deleting that section and combining the controversy with your praise of De Brazza's death and memorial section. If you look at the French section of De Brazza, neither are the Africans pleased with the revision of history. Our experience with Wikipedia would be well served and is well served when references prove different point of views. As a Congolese, I refuse to have those that colonized us continue to write our history to the world. Thanks, Nzingamina —Preceding undated comment added 00:28, 19 January 2011 (UTC).

Since I am already relisting 20+ AFDs today I decided to withdraw this nomination instead of relisting it. However, though you didn't bold the word delete, your comment did look like a weak delete argument based in the last sentence. Therefore I would be willing to reopen this AFD if you wish. -- Ron Ritzman ( talk) 00:18, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
The admin who closed this as Delete might have been following a "letter of the law" approach, but, as I know from some recent experience, he sometimes makes the easier decision rather than the best one (see my comments on his Talk page). In this case, the best decision might have been to redirect the article to something like Isaaq Genocide, or Somalia genocide controversy. To do so now, however, with your userfied copy, might bring charges of WP:CONTENTFORK after the fact. I'd be happy to work with you on focusing what you wrote toward one or the other of those two alternative topics -- it wouldn't take much. I think Somalia genocide controversy is more likely to survive an AfD attempt, of the two, but I am open to arguments that Isaaq Genocide would be better, or perhaps some other title you can suggest.

Hi, I agreed with all your edits but disagreed with the coat rack. The information relating to the Dewsbury seat provides vital context – it was the worst affected seat that survived the Boundary Commission changes in West Yorkshire. On Wiki it states: “This coat rack is almost completely obscured by hats and coats” – there is no question that the article is obscures the piece as it is important context setting and there is lots more information which follows. The information provided is factual/neutral, verifiable (well sourced) and not from original research, which are the three core wiki policies, which jointly determine the type and quality of material that is acceptable in Wikipedia articles. According to wiki: “Because these policies work in harmony, they should not be interpreted in isolation from one another, and editors should try to familiarize themselves with all three.”
In addition, wiki guidance states: “Remove material only where you have good reason to believe it misinforms or misleads readers in ways that cannot be addressed by rewriting the passage.” Hope this helps. thank you -- Truesayer ( talk) 02:54, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay Jonathan that is all right. It is a sod of an article and I would appreciate your help.
In my view it is far too long for what is after all a park, compare for example the length of Cambridge Botanical Garden. It is way too long and I just translated a para about who inherited or was disinherited what from what and who gives a shit? We just want to know about the park.
So I was going to go CSD A7 thinking of this as an ill written article in French that needs cleanup in French before we attempt to get it into English. With your support, I will keep going, and help you out all I can. I was going to tackle the references next but that is always a big job that needs a kinda "man at work" sign out of it cos you have to do it in a lot of turns and if someone gets in the way it really gets hard.
My best wishes and sincere thanks to you. I will continue to edit but I hope I don't clash with you, if I do it is merely by accident, I assure you.

The section on your user page of the same title suggests that editing under your own name is discouraged. What are you referring to? Is this linked to an internal American legal consideration? I take the view, as a non-American, that anonymous contributions include those offered under an alias, and rightly attract suspicion about integrity, responsibility, accountability and credibility. It is a personal view, I know, but I'm curious why so many US contributors insist on pet names. Hence my question about the US legal dimension.

Anonymity is highly protected under U.S. constitutional law (years ago I wrote a paper for Cato Institute on this topic). My observations on anonymity on Wikipedia were the result of threads on various noticeboards in which people commented that using your own name on Wikipedia is a way to get yourself electronically stalked off-wiki. I have seen a few angry debates about editing in which someone who had done this kind of "research" critiqued another editor for his real life affiliations and associations, in order to impugn his motives and assert a lack of neutrality. I have never had the least problem editing under my own name in the months I have been active, however. Jonathanwallace ( talk) 14:00, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jon, as a comment , well my advice really, if some controversial disputed content is removed from a BLP imo unless you have a issue in the pie you should never replace it .. when you replace it you take all responsibility for it .. it is yours then - you are the one that added it - unless you have a wedge in the pie and it is disputed contentious content my advice is to allow whoever has a wedge in the pie to replace it.

Hi Jonathan, Tnx for the message. As you'll see from my latest posting (cf. below), I already got there (cf. yr suggestions) - more or less. A relief to find sensible feedback after all the back-and-forth on this entry today. As a newcomer, it simply is a bit disorienting to be referred to "guidelines" etc. in general. The email-form did the trick. (Even using the four tildes was new to me this morning - I was told to use them, but not why, i.e. what it accomplished!) Still, it'll be awhile before I spend this much effort on something this small on Wikipedia again... Interesting learning-process, though, ha-ha ;-)
"Tnx, John - finally some useful practical info: the Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. I'll get on it, Monday (as it's now after office hours) - i.e. ask the publishing house to fw that email filled in [to Wp]. In the meantime, over the week-end, I hope the obituary can remain on Wikipedia. Otherwise would seem unreasonable: delaying providing practical info until after hours, thus causing deletion. Take my word for this (yes, you can! - using yr own common sense): the obituary's been in the public domain (albeit not quite as formally) for nearly 60 years, and the copyright-holding publisher's only too happy (my impression, rather solid) to have it on Wikipedia under that entry. They even wanted an email back - and got it - confirming the efforts to have it posted there. Very pleased, they (she - no name!) were (was). Again, tnx for the constructive input. Happy week-end 2 U"

The ministry section is filled with grammatical errors, and non cited controversial accusations. It seems like a bulk of negative information, written predominately by OCNative.

Regarding your imply whether the "Herzl Foundation" can be considered RS or not, i would like to draw your attention to the following discussion on credibility of "Babylonian Jewry Heritage" journal here - [3]. I think the status of "Herzl Foundation" and "Babylonian Jewry Heritage" is somewhat similar, since both publish a semi-professional journal, but lack a comprehensive editor review procedure. Wikipedians widely agree that the bottom line of credibility of "Babylonian Jewry Heritage" is its academic editor crew, even though they do are not reach a level of academic journal. Same in the situation of "Herzl Foundation" journal - it solely depends who is the author and editor of the publication. Greyshark09 ( talk) 09:06, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Jonathan, You don't seem to have looked in detail into the history behind request that EATC made of you earlier (of which he provided you with a misleading description). This user started an edit war over a fairly brief section I added to Charlie Dent's political positions. EATC kept pushing for expansion of the section by overlaying what are demonstrably Republican talking points, which I responded to by adding further verifiable facts. Then EATC turns around in the end and complains that the discussion has gotten too lengthy and charges me with coatracking.
The reason the section is highly relevant is that Dent's public persona is of a moderate who bucks his party on extreme votes. His page highlights this supposed moderation, even giving space to such trivia as Dent's vote against the Terri Schiavo legislation.
So there is ample reason to give some weight to a highly consequential counter example, Dent's vote to terminate Medicare. It is not coatracking to add info about an important political position to the section of his page called "political positions".
What is needed is a brief section like what I originally created, before EATC barged on the scene. 72.86.146.31 ( talk) 03:06, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
It's not realistic to hope to find credible 3rd party sources analyzing Dent's vote on this bill. As things stand, EATC is now pushing to have the entry whittled down to a bare mention that Dent voted for the bill, with a link. He wishes to delete any acknowledgment of Medicare or that its termination is controversial. I've demonstrated with a news citation on the talk page that EATC showed up brandishing GOP talking points; it's important to acknowledge, which no administrator has done so far, that his manipulation in this matter was done with partisan bias.
Anyway, what matters ultimately is Dent's page. It reads now as a press release; there is not a single critical comment on his entire career. It is rhetorical in toto, and much of the "political positions" section is devoted to showing by piling up examples that Dent is a "moderate". Several of these examples are inconsequential. His budget/Medicare vote would constitute a single counter-example and indeed merits on its face more weight than some of the inconsequential "moderate" positions already represented at length. That's not to say the Medicare vote needs a lengthy disquisition. But it ought to be presented forthrightly, rather than obscured as EATC has tried to achieve. It's not wikipedia's role to make it more difficult for readers to figure out the significance of the info it notes. EATC wants to force readers to follow links if they're to understand that Dent voted to terminate Medicare. I think that should be presented up front. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.180.109.202 ( talk) 15:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Learning and using Greek was oppposed, not forbidden (!), by the Catholic Church at that time. The official bibletext of the new testament used by the catholic church was, and still is the Vulgate. The learning and use of Greek was meant to be for eminent scholars who were fully loyal to the church.
The brethren of the common life have never been wholeheartedly loyal to the church, they were, as it was tolerated by the church. They have always sought for ways to bring belief close to the common people and to let them individualize/personalize belief. (the book Imitatio Christi written by Thomas a Kempis was the epitome of that). That also could mean that the interferrence of churchprofessional as intermediars to heaven was not necessary. Because of that there have always been tensions between the church and the Brethren. The Brethren have always supported the idea that translation of the bible in folklanguage would be the best way to teach the people christian ways.
One way of getting there was getting around the Vulgate, and using the much older greek text of the new testament on which the Vulgate was based. Not using the Vulgate meant indirect criticism at it (and thus, also at the church). The consequence of all that was also that Greek had to be taught on a more regular and common base too, so that the knowledge and use of Greek would improve drastically. That's how Erasmus at young age came into contact with these ideas, in Deventer!
Erasmus was strongly opposed by catholic scholars, especially those of the university of Leuven (Louvain), in the Low Countries and Germany (in those days both part of the Holy Roman Empire under Charles V) when he wanted to redraft and publish the Greek text of the new testament. Both Luther and Tyndale were influenced by Erasmus and took things further with there translations in German and English. Both men used the Erasmus editon of the Greek text of the new testament. Tyndale was burnt at the stake, Luther, who learned his first greek by the brethren in Magdeburg (!), survived because of his protector, the duke of Saxony.
And that's why the small step of putting Greek in your curriculum is such a "revultionary" step.
It may not be so in the english spoken world but most of this is common knowledge in the dutch professional historical world.

Hi, I noticed that you responded to Jose Turina's post on WP:BLPN. I removed the content he added to his biography. I don't want to confuse him by adding another post underneath yours with different information, but the reason for my revert wasn't WP:COI, it was that the material was copied and pasted verbatim from a google doc containing his CV. The text is actually fairly encyclopedic for a CV. Perhaps the best solution is to tell him he can add back the list of his compositions and to suggest that he summarize his CV. Perhaps he can also provide a secondary source. Given that the tone of his CV is fairly factual I'm not terribly worried about COI. Does this seem like a reasonable approach?

You might be right. Would comments by others be better? The Kristoff stuff goes on for too long-- I think you are right. I just wanted to make the point that Kristoff thought that Peretz was misrepresenting his position should be gotten in. Taking your advice, diretion, I will cut it back in length-- but leave some of it with your approval, if ok?
I won't be edit warring at Marty Peretz but I believe the current structure of "Peretz said....Kristof said about Peretz...Peretz replied....Kristof re-replied...." gives one critic of Peretz too much weight. Also, what Peretz thinks of Kristof is not that important in a bio of Peretz. This IMO is a common problem in WP bios and creates what I call a "POV quilt" where instead of giving an overview of disputes in Wikipedia's voice, we get mired in minutia.

Hi Jonathan: You were/are absolutely right that there was too much information about Stephen Glass in this profile And you did a great edit and shortening and reverting of it.
But the bigotry portion of the Peretz section does not go on too long in that it became a national ontroevery. James Fallow's omments are especially important I think. And the back and forth between Peretz and Kristoff should include Kristoff's reaction to Peretz's "apology" that many reasonable people found wanting, so thought that was important to inlcude. Hope you compromise with other people who contribute to the page and discuss with them instead of just reverting without discussion and consideraton of other views.

Hi Jonathanwallace. I have been researching the topic of using court judgments as reliable sources in Wikipedia articles and in the course of my research have come across a few of your posts on noticeboards. I personally agree with your view that judgments are reliable, and in a way, secondary sources because they are derived from the entire proceedings. I thought perhaps you might be interested commenting on my recent post here [7]. I would very much appreciate any input or comment you might have. Thanks very much. -- Luke Warmwater101 ( talk) 02:35, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
Greetings! It seems you have a rather coveted skill set with your translation abilities. Kudos! Would you have the time or the interest to collaborate on the AIG business page? The French version looks like it could use some help on content and formatting. Best Regards! MsGingerHoneycutt ( talk) 21:23, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Kudos re the article, although, of course, not much is perfect from every angle. Elfelix ( talk) 01:54, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
