Hi
After your intervention in the Seige of Malta article, could you please look at the The Hardest Day. I am fed up of Dapi's attitute towards IP editors. I have made two constructive edits to this article: addressing grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes, translation mistakes, inserted links to relevent articles and he simply reverts them without reviewing them.
I have made this accusation on this talkpage as well and he simply ignores the fact that this project is aimed at co-operation. Surely it is vandalism to remove constructive edits that reinsert these type of mistakes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.8.192.142 ( talk) 13:02, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I see you signed up at Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Mentors as a mentor for the ambassador program. That's supposed to be for people who have applied and been accepted as Online Ambassadors; see Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Apply. But looking over your contributions briefly, it looks like you'd make a great ambassador; please do apply! In the meantime, I'll remove your entry from the mentors list.

I do not think I harmed the article, posting the coordinates of a secret base is probaly not lawful. With the location anyone can go there whenever they feel like it.

I noticed you joined WPConservatism. I just wanted to bring to your attention that we are "dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to conservatism." One of the ways we improve coverage is by adding nav boxes so that readers, and editors, can easily navigate conservatism articles. You have nominated 3 conservatism nav boxes for deletion. This seems to run counter to our stated purpose. You made a few suggestions for improving the nav boxes. Now that you are a member, I think it would be a wonderful gesture if you would withdraw the noms and engage our 20 or so members in implementing the improvements you have outlined. This should prove to be useful. Lionel ( talk) 23:18, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

With regard to this revert of yours (which I think you, rather than I, should undo), may I point out that, in context, "only pagans and Jews" did not suggest that pagans and Jews are of no importance. The section is about early Christians, and in spite of what an earlier editor had said, two of the three cited sources did not claim that early Christians held the belief in question. You have now restored that false claim. (Besides, that was not the only element you reverted.) Esoglou ( talk) 20:52, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, key word was SUGGESTED! Two government officials were referenced in the letter: the FBI director and the Air Force investigator. Did you even bother to read it? It did come out on the FBI's website you know. Letter is encyclopedic and should be mentioned somewhere. I challenge you to find better government evidence about that. No wonder hardly any new users try to edit anything. The letter is perfect for that section of the article.

Please clarify on your claim that I added commentary or personal analysis in any of my edits. You claim that I violate NPOW without any specification on why.
This is my edits: 1. I removed the anti-prostition strawman argument "People who support legal prostitution argue that prostitution is a consensual sex act between adults and a victimless crime, thus the government should not prohibit this practice.". This is not something that supporters of legal prostitution claims. In is also unsourced, which is not strange as it is a strawman argument against prostitution.
2. I added "claims" to the text in various places where anti-prostitution argumentation states quoted opinion as if they are facts. None of their references are to anything but personal opinions of anti-prostitution activists.
3. I removed the redundant statement from the "Sweden, Norway and Iceland" section that is irrelevant to general discussion.
4. I also removed an unsourced anti-prostitution statement as the google book reference is broken, hence it is not verifiable.
5. On one of the anti-prostitution activist citations I also clearified who made it and that it is a personal opinion, not a fact.
Now tell me how any of those edits breaks the NPOW.
Also ALL text in the general section is currently biased towards anti-prostitution, so how is any of these edits making the the text more unbalanced. It is totally impossible to make a all anti-prostitution text more unbalanced.

"unneeded change" - is that a joke, or what. The change makes it better, more accurate, just look at the referenced book. There's no point in saying "unneeded change". The question is - which description is more precise.

How about simultaneous changes? e.g. I write a paragraph on execution of overthrow like this
Zahedi coup
On August 19 a noisy pro-Shah demonstration marched from the red light district to the bazaar to Mosaddeq'shouse. The gendarmerie also transported 800 farm hands from the royal stables in Veramin to central Tehran. [1] Many anti-Mosaddeq demonstrators were killed attempting to overrun Mosaddeq's house by armed defenders, but in the afternoon General Zahedi, commanding 35 Sherman tanks surrounded the premier's residence. A nine-hour battle ended with 300 people dead, Mossadeq fleeing and his house burnt. [2] Zahedi was installed to succeed Prime Minister Mosaddeq.
... in body of article, and shorter text
(for example: "After several days of mass confusion, however, a pro-Shah mob marched on Mosaddeq's residence, which was also attacked by a tank column led by retired General Fazlollah Zahedi.[17] The prime minister fled when his defenders were overwhelmed.[18]") for lede?

Hi Binksternet!
Yesterday I was reading some of your articles, especially the FA for some possible pointers and ran across the following oddity on Jet blast deflector. The image on that page appears very dark and may be a negative of
, but this is the image when 'thumb' or '200px', for example, are not used.
The overly large image, sorry about that, seems fine on Wikimedia Commons without 'thumb' or a sizing. At first I thought a better image is needed so I tried to upload as it occurs on the web and apparently occurring on the de.wikipedia.org. On there the page url= http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windschutzzaun, also has what appears to be a very dark, possibly negative image. I don't as yet know how to solve this problem, but I wanted to let you know. Cheers! Marshallsumter ( talk) 23:04, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Binksternet. I saw some of your work over at the Battle of Midway article. Would you mind coming by the piece on the Japanese battleship Nagato and see if you can help bring a consensus opinion to the lead section regarding whether or not the ship was considered obsolete by the IJN admiralty at the outset of the war. I think not, but your opinion would be appreciated. Thanks. Gunbirddriver ( talk) 04:19, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Binksternet. I thought I'd drop a note...I'm restoring the copyright problem template at 415 records, that I placed a while ago, and which you removed. While I agree with your rationale, and do not wish to create any sort of awkward situation with you or any of the editors/contributors on the article, the copyright issue remains unresolved. Soooo...Please do not take offense when I say that as far as I know, the submitter still needs to follow the appropriate process to release such material for use here, which insofar as can be ascertained, he has not. Leaving a note on the talk page does not meet the requirements. Also, as is noted in bold at the top of the template added, please do not restore the material again until the matter is resolved. Thank you. There are instructions on the template that you can use to help resolve it, including participating in the discussion on the topic at copyright problem investigation page, here. duff 09:08, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Binksternet - this is a great article, very well researched and organized. Thank you for doing this.
By the time I started working there, ca 1983, Room A had a Trident TSM console with automation, Room B had a Harrison, and Room C had a smaller trident, I think it was the 80b. David Kahne's production room upstairs was frequently used by Carlos Santana, and there was a rehearsal room upstairs that the Starship often used. In 1983, Sandy Pearlman subleased Studio C and called it "Time Enough World Enough Studios" and kept a lock on it until The Automatt closed. After its closing he moved it to Harbor Sound in Sausalito. Those of us who were in the middle of projects continued them primarily at Studio D or The Plant in Sausalito, at Fantasy in Berkeley, and at Narada's Tarpan studios in San Rafael.
Some other artists who were recorded there included a young Tori Amos, doing demos with Narada Michael Walden; the Pointer Sisters; and I believe at least a few tracks from the first Whitney Houston record produced by NMW. I don't think that I produced "Hands on Ice" there (I could be mistaken) but I know we recorded about an LPs worth of material with The Big Race, who later morphed into Pray_for_Rain_(band). I also produced much of the soundtrack to the short film "Architects of Victory", written by Jeffrey Kimball and Warren Leight. The whole of the LP "Good News About Mental Health" by The Afflicted was produced by me in Studio C with Paul Mandl engineering in 1983. Are you certain that the Automatt closed in 1984? I seem to recall still working there in 1985 but I could be mistaken.
It might be worth mentioning that Paul Stubblebine had a mastering room on the first floor, that the studio had its own tiled echo chamber as well as an EMT 250 Gold Foil reverb and an EMT 140.

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles ( pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

Hey, it's been a while. This design has caught my interest but I can find little good information on it, except for the South African from AVforum who claims to have been successful in making one, has the original instructions, and made a pdf to share with people. No one on DIY forum, where I have revived one of the old threads on it, seems to have tried to make one, although they have tried knock offs. I don't understand why no one seems to have built one to the instructions given by the South African. Besides this enclosure, Mr. Holliman seems to have no other real significance, and between that and the lack of enthusiasm surrounding the design makes me wonder if it is really worth it's salt or if Holliman filed the patents just to satisfy his ego. I found that interesting thread you started in 2008 asking about some of the earliest subwoofers like the 8182, and it was interesting to hear of the mamoth designs people made to overcome the inefficiency and power issues back then. This design is suppossed to be efficient in it's intricacy, it's basically a low excursion driver (not sure if the original intention was a 15 or 18 inch, but I'd be willing to bet 18 as oddly large drivers in the 30's of inches were sometimes used back then, driver firing into a small diameter hole in an otherwise very, very small space with it's back side exposed, which then excites a helmholtz resonator, which, although aparantly tuned high by itself, is low with the combonation and supossedly the enclosure actually lowers the driver's Q in order to accurately produce frequencies as low as 5 Hertz, with Holliman claiming the ability to well fill in the 7 to 25 Hz range. The resonator terminates with two long, slowly tapering bass reflex "tubes," they are specifically not horns. What do you know about this enclosure? Your help would be appreciated. If I had reliable instructions to go by, and some good renders or pictures, I would be glad to give it a shot, but all I can find seems a little suspiciously to be just hearsay. To find a driver like the one Holliman was using would be quite difficult, but I would assume the closest match to be a tight, low excursion driver such as a Peavy instrument/PA driver, not a high excursion, low quality car driver as others have suggested. At those frequencies (which is actually a wide range, over three entire octaves) I believe any significant physical motion of the driver would kill the quality and result in much distortion and harmonics. Another driver I was considering was the Focal 18, but this is quite extremely expensive, and I am leery of Focal, as they make exotic designs like the "Dome" which leads me to believe you are paying for it's uniqueness rather than just quality. What do you know about this striking enclosure design? Daniel Christensen ( talk) 18:09, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi there. I am not active on wikipedia anymore, but I just noticed that the article is back to its "old" style (the fanoftheworld style). I think, based on the kind of articles edited by the user, that the new major editor of this article ( User:Peoplefromarizona) is a puppet of banned user User:fanoftheworld (who has continued editing the same article using User:Rerumirf and other accounts).

This is better put here than at the the Discussion page
1) On a friendly humorous note, when I saw your contributions and talk page, I wondered how you could take the position I mistakely thought you were taking! 2) Based on what you've written on the pro life Discussion page, I'm willing to wager half of my wealth that you don't write ad copy for a living or do PR! I think you're dead, flat wrong about the wording of that sentence. I believe the wording of the first version conveys an unconscious message that abortion is murder. If you want to revert it, feel free. I've at least cleaned up the rest of the spin.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

I have noted in the recent exchanges regarding Steinway & Sons that you are inclined to further Wikipedia policies such as NPOV, non advertising, copyvio, etc. (yes, I admit that had I known it would blow-up like this I might never have brought up Samick - even though I believe it to be a key historical event in the company history) As someone experienced in the application of these rules, as well as appearing to have remarkable research and sourcing skills, I was wondering (and given that you may be oversaturated with Steinway at this point) if you had ever looked at USS Iowa turret explosion ? That article is one of the most misleading and biased I have seen on Wikipedia. However, it espouses an overwhelmingly POPULAR bias, and thus is rather immune to any criticisms such as those I offered on its talk page some time ago. Basically, perverting logic (saying that proof of a potential cause equates to ruling out another or decides the cause; ignoring the official unknown cause status; misquoting to assert facts that deny comon sense and physics) and making interpretations from an already biased source without any attempt at balance in material inclusion, would describe the author's approach. But, partially out of fear of reprisal, and also politically recognizing the risks that come with opposing a popular viewpoint (even though my own is one of simply wanting to see facts and NPOV, not to take the side of the original, equally flawed Navy finding), I and others stay away.
If you are braver than I, and interested in improving the Wikipedia, there is far more bias at this article than at S&S - and perhaps a little time for everyone to cool off with regard to Steinway would allow for its faults to be addressed later with less contention ?-- Rwberndt ( talk) 14:01, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Your frequent snyde remarks about my political philosophy and speculation about my motivations for editing are a violation of NPA and completely inaccurate. In the interests of collegialism I've been patient but this is getting completely out of hand. You are entitied to your opinion that I hold "extreme socially conservative views." Of course you only have the most basic inkling of what my views are and how you even attempt to classify them as "extreme" is an affront to civility. Since you really don't know I'd appreciate it if you would keep it to yourself. Believe it or not I am not a huge Reagan fan. So you're wrong again. So why does Reagan figure so prominently in the project? Because there are hundreds of Reagan articles. There are more Reagan-related FA, GA, FM, DYK pages than any other topic in Conservatism. The very best articles in the project are Reagan related. Of course they are going to be showcased and highlighted. It's not my fault that editors prefer to create and improve articles about Reagan over any other topic. Same with the American emphasis of the project. Editors create, edit and are just more interested in American conservatism than any other variant. If you were at all interested in improving the project you would know this. You would be tagging what non-US articles there are instead of spending your time watching my contributions and bitching about non-existent advocacy at the talk page. As a matter of fact I have worked tirelessly to find non-US articles. One of the issues is that non-US articles are poorly categorized. In case you haven't noticed I have revamped the Conservatism cattree and added almost a hundred non-US cats. Maybe between whining fits you could categorize some articles into the cats I've created. Ah, hope springs eternal. – Lionel ( talk) 20:56, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
