Thanks for your edits, which improved it; however, I didn't accept all of them. I've left "sex" as a replacement for "gender"—so you don't mind the clash with the title? I've been told that "sex" is used by biologists, etc.. and "gender" by social scientists. I'm not fussed, though.
Unsure about the impersonal "you" and (as Sam added) "one".

Hi -- I wonder if you would be able to assist with a little copyediting? I've nominated Beyond Fantasy Fiction for FAC; at the nomination page there's been a request for an outside copyedit.

If you're asking me for my opinions on footnotes: the bibliographic templates are designed for lists of references and at best look bizarre within footnotes, and it's shoddy practice (even if common WP practice) to refer generally to entire books that are hundreds of pages long as the sources of discrete facts written up somewhere or other within those books. So I'd like to make a thoroughgoing revision of your footnoting. It wouldn't take that long, and I'd do all the work -- except that I don't have access to any of the materials and therefore of course do not know the page numbers. Does this interest you, and if so can you provide the page numbers? (Or is each of five separate references to The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy vol 3 really to p.549?) If you do have the page numbers, I'll forge ahead; if not, I shan't. -- Hoary 00:56, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Over the past few weeks I've discovered a slew of publisher sock puppet accounts created for adding scientific journals to Wikipedia articles and multiply linking them in Wikipedia--a dozen, maybe a couple of dozen socks, and hundreds of edits, doing the SEO for their bosses. See User:DGG's page for updates. I wanted the socks blocked, every single one of them, even though they had only edited one day, in order to send a message to the publishers. I always wanted the current active sock blocekd. I think I was called a troll. As far as I can see, the sock puppet publishers won, and they showed they knew it by throwing up a whole new slew of spam links. David's taking care of it, though. And, I, in defiance of the administrators who think the publisher socks, who've been doing it since 2004, are Wikipedia's best friends, am reverting every single one I find. And this, apparently, is what makes me a troll. KP Botany 03:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. You have recently commented to the Bratislava candidacy and now I'd like to discuss points raised (better here because I don't want to clog up that candidacy page). 1. It may be true, but from the featured articles I've seen, most have Geography as 2nd or 3rd section, always after History, so, in my opinion, it is OK as it is now. 2. I'm not very sure what do you mean here. To the dating, it is clearly said they come from 2001 census and may not be correct right now, that's for sure. But do you mean that I should simplify, remove or spin off these data into their own article? But I admit that Demographics sections are usually the most boring. 3. Although personally I would use only metric equivalents for some reasons, I guess who are keen supporters of imperial units would only swear that they can't understand how much is that. 4. I think this particular is OK, I don't have reason right now to delete it. But I admit that there is a chance of some facts repeating. MarkBA t/ c/ @ 08:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
At this point I no longer care. The vandal's obviously a little kid, and the vandalism wasn't really that bad, and a ridiculous amount of time has been wasted on it. However, it was my first day back to reverting some vandalism, and it was apparently not the world's greatest idea on my part. I posted a vandal to WP:AIV, User:68.111.80.179. The user had three prior blocks for vandalism on his block log, the last one for 72 hours, with a warning that a subsequent vandalism would be for a longer period of time. User:DexHexer blocked the vandal for 24 hours. I asked why he blocked the vandal for only 24 hours when the prior block had been for 72 hours. [3] What followed could only happen on the web, and would probably invovle me and an en.wiki administrator, as it did. I did not post the vandal's IP in my post to DexHexer's page, and did not realize that he patrols Wikipeida blocking hundreds of vandals, and appearently DexHexer thought I was asking a generic question, and didn't bother to ask what I was refering to, though it's hard to see how he'd assume with such a specific question that I was speaking generically, and DexHexer proceeded to provide me with technical answers about a blocking script he is using, which bored me even more than the original vandal.
My mantra will now be, "I will not revert vandalism, I will not revert vandalism, I will not revert vandalism, I will not revert vandalism, I will not revert vandalism, .... KP Botany 23:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
The truly irritating thing is getting other people to something about vandalism. Doing it yourself is a major bore, but also much less of a bore, as the curtest of explanations will suffice. The way forward for you is therefore clear:

This is an interesting list that Crazytales deleted. It could be a who's who of influential admins taken from some site like Wikipedia Review. What makes it especially interesting is that most of these admins never interacted with this IP -- leading me to believe that this was a knowledgeable troll and not just the kiddie vandal I'd made him out to be. It's also interesting that he never reset his modem to change IPs -- again, another possible indicator of a troll and not just another everyday vandal.

It was made live on-air when Bob Harris was doing a Hamsters back to back feature. I have the show on Minidisk somewhere, so do you think an audio sample would cut it as a reference?

After Googling around and finding nothing about it I'm thinking of nominating the Drake Circus article for AfD as it doesn't appear to have any degree of notability. The fact that it contains part of the Uni and an old church/war memorial which in themselves don't confer notability. Additionally it is only a sub-district.

They are objecting my edits in Anti-Christian violence in India, Religious violence in India. Please read these articles. I have given enough citations on the articles. What I am doing is to depict the religious situation in India from a neutral point of view. But what they are trying to do is to ignore the religious violence which claimed many lives, caused human rights violation. And for my effort to bring the true fact in light, user Chanakyathegreat called me 'fanatic Christian fundamentalist'. I am very much offended by his comment.

I would like to state that noting that a user is not neutral ddoes not constitute a personal attack nor is it against wiki policy.
This user has made it seem like Hindus are the criminals behind all incidents. There is no mention of Hindu killings whatsoever, not much is verified by evidence.
- * His article Anti-Christian violence in India starts off with "In India anti-Christian violence is widespread." There is no neutrality in his work.
- *Look at his addition to the
Human rights in India page
[7] for the Communal Violence section: "Conversion in India has become hard Due to anti conversion laws which were made by hindu nationalist and extremists.To propogate ones religion other that Hinduism and sikhism is an activity which could cause Death as most citizens and many government officials are always 'conspiring to kill' as tha free press of india states" with no sources whatsoever.

Does this reference to heliography make sense to you? Pinkville ( talk) 13:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Would you consider making a contribution to an exchange of views at either of the following:
As you may know, Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management came up with entirely reasonable guidelines for naming articles about earthquakes, fires, typhoons, etc. However, the <<year>><<place> <<event>> format leaves no opportunity for conventional nengō which have been used in Japan since the eighth century (701-1945) -- as in "the Great Fire of Meireki" (1657) or for "the Hōei eruption of Mount Fuji" (1707).
In a purely intellectual sense, I do look forward to discovering how this exchange of views will develop; but I also have an ulterior motive. I hope to learn something about how better to argue in favor of a non-standard exception to conventional, consensus-driven, and ordinarily helpful wiki-standards such as this one. In my view, there does need to be some modest variation in the conventional paradigms for historical terms which have evolved in non-Western cultures -- no less in Wikipedia than elsewhere. I'm persuaded that, at least in the context of Japanese history before the reign of Emperor Meiji (1868-1912), some non-standard variations seem essential; but I'm not sure how best to present my reasoning to those who don't already agree with me. I know these first steps are inevitably awkward; but there you have it.
The newly-created 1703 Genroku earthquake article pushed just the right buttons for me. Obviously, these are questions that I'd been pondering for some time; and this became a convenient opportunity to move forward in a process of building a new kind of evolving consensus. -- Ooperhoofd ( talk) 18:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

If you're asking me for my opinions on footnotes: the bibliographic templates are designed for lists of references and at best look bizarre within footnotes, and it's shoddy practice (even if common WP practice) to refer generally to entire books that are hundreds of pages long as the sources of discrete facts written up somewhere or other within those books. So I'd like to make a thoroughgoing revision of your footnoting. It wouldn't take that long, and I'd do all the work -- except that I don't have access to any of the materials and therefore of course do not know the page numbers. Does this interest you, and if so can you provide the page numbers? (Or is each of five separate references to The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy vol 3 really to p.549?) If you do have the page numbers, I'll forge ahead; if not, I shan't. -- Hoary 00:56, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Over the past few weeks I've discovered a slew of publisher sock puppet accounts created for adding scientific journals to Wikipedia articles and multiply linking them in Wikipedia--a dozen, maybe a couple of dozen socks, and hundreds of edits, doing the SEO for their bosses. See User:DGG's page for updates. I wanted the socks blocked, every single one of them, even though they had only edited one day, in order to send a message to the publishers. I always wanted the current active sock blocekd. I think I was called a troll. As far as I can see, the sock puppet publishers won, and they showed they knew it by throwing up a whole new slew of spam links. David's taking care of it, though. And, I, in defiance of the administrators who think the publisher socks, who've been doing it since 2004, are Wikipedia's best friends, am reverting every single one I find. And this, apparently, is what makes me a troll. KP Botany 03:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. You have recently commented to the Bratislava candidacy and now I'd like to discuss points raised (better here because I don't want to clog up that candidacy page). 1. It may be true, but from the featured articles I've seen, most have Geography as 2nd or 3rd section, always after History, so, in my opinion, it is OK as it is now. 2. I'm not very sure what do you mean here. To the dating, it is clearly said they come from 2001 census and may not be correct right now, that's for sure. But do you mean that I should simplify, remove or spin off these data into their own article? But I admit that Demographics sections are usually the most boring. 3. Although personally I would use only metric equivalents for some reasons, I guess who are keen supporters of imperial units would only swear that they can't understand how much is that. 4. I think this particular is OK, I don't have reason right now to delete it. But I admit that there is a chance of some facts repeating. MarkBA t/ c/ @ 08:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
At this point I no longer care. The vandal's obviously a little kid, and the vandalism wasn't really that bad, and a ridiculous amount of time has been wasted on it. However, it was my first day back to reverting some vandalism, and it was apparently not the world's greatest idea on my part. I posted a vandal to WP:AIV, User:68.111.80.179. The user had three prior blocks for vandalism on his block log, the last one for 72 hours, with a warning that a subsequent vandalism would be for a longer period of time. User:DexHexer blocked the vandal for 24 hours. I asked why he blocked the vandal for only 24 hours when the prior block had been for 72 hours. [3] What followed could only happen on the web, and would probably invovle me and an en.wiki administrator, as it did. I did not post the vandal's IP in my post to DexHexer's page, and did not realize that he patrols Wikipeida blocking hundreds of vandals, and appearently DexHexer thought I was asking a generic question, and didn't bother to ask what I was refering to, though it's hard to see how he'd assume with such a specific question that I was speaking generically, and DexHexer proceeded to provide me with technical answers about a blocking script he is using, which bored me even more than the original vandal.
My mantra will now be, "I will not revert vandalism, I will not revert vandalism, I will not revert vandalism, I will not revert vandalism, I will not revert vandalism, .... KP Botany 23:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

This is an interesting list that Crazytales deleted. It could be a who's who of influential admins taken from some site like Wikipedia Review. What makes it especially interesting is that most of these admins never interacted with this IP -- leading me to believe that this was a knowledgeable troll and not just the kiddie vandal I'd made him out to be. It's also interesting that he never reset his modem to change IPs -- again, another possible indicator of a troll and not just another everyday vandal.

I know the guy a little. I knew he just started designing clothing for AKO (Andrea Katz Designs). He was just asked to design her new menswear line. www.akonyc.com is the site for her designs. Nothing about him on her site yet. Maybe the site will add something soon about his work with her. He is in one of my art groups here in NY. OneMarkus ( talk) 15:39, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Interesting how you seem so concerned with the Bass article. Seems you spend so much of your time kvetching on the Japanese photography section and hit the Bass article again You must really like the work. It is truly awesome work and I can't fault you for that. Kudo's for your help with it. I know she would be likewise appreciative if she only knew. —Preceding unsigned comment added by OneMarkus ( talk • contribs) 20:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

User Chanakyathegreat has violated WP:NPA. Plaease see this [ [6]]. He commented about me 'Ota crap is a fanatic Christian fundamentalist. More religious than the pope. His version is to spread Christian propaganda. He has started multiple articles with links to fundamentalist Christian websites. He need to be banned and all the edits by him reverted'.
User Nikkul had violated WP:NPA. He commented 'This user's intentions are obvious'.
They are objecting my edits in Anti-Christian violence in India, Religious violence in India. Please read these articles. I have given enough citations on the articles. What I am doing is to depict the religious situation in India from a neutral point of view. But what they are trying to do is to ignore the religious violence which claimed many lives, caused human rights violation. And for my effort to bring the true fact in light, user Chanakyathegreat called me 'fanatic Christian fundamentalist'. I am very much offended by his comment. I humbly request you please do something with the User Chanakyathegreat. Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 08:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I would like to state that noting that a user is not neutral ddoes not constitute a personal attack nor is it against wiki policy.
This user has made it seem like Hindus are the criminals behind all incidents. There is no mention of Hindu killings whatsoever, not much is verified by evidence.
- * His article Anti-Christian violence in India starts off with "In India anti-Christian violence is widespread." There is no neutrality in his work.
- *Look at his addition to the
Human rights in India page
[7] for the Communal Violence section: "Conversion in India has become hard Due to anti conversion laws which were made by hindu nationalist and extremists.To propogate ones religion other that Hinduism and sikhism is an activity which could cause Death as most citizens and many government officials are always 'conspiring to kill' as tha free press of india states" with no sources whatsoever. This is soo pov and irrelevant
I hope you can teach the user to verify all claims like the ones above before inserting them on wiki Nikkul ( talk) 18:09, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

No, fine. I, um, could see where you were coming from, too. But retracted (struck) like a gentleman.
Now, apropos of foul days — no, I'll spare you. And indeed the last few haven't been bad. But every damn "weekend" seems to be gobbled up by this or that chore. Moan moan. -- Hoary ( talk) 04:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Here's one for you to consider... Pinkville ( talk) 14:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Does this reference to heliography make sense to you? Pinkville ( talk) 13:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Would you consider making a contribution to an exchange of views at either of the following:
As you may know, Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management came up with entirely reasonable guidelines for naming articles about earthquakes, fires, typhoons, etc. However, the <<year>><<place> <<event>> format leaves no opportunity for conventional nengō which have been used in Japan since the eighth century (701-1945) -- as in "the Great Fire of Meireki" (1657) or for "the Hōei eruption of Mount Fuji" (1707).
In a purely intellectual sense, I do look forward to discovering how this exchange of views will develop; but I also have an ulterior motive. I hope to learn something about how better to argue in favor of a non-standard exception to conventional, consensus-driven, and ordinarily helpful wiki-standards such as this one. In my view, there does need to be some modest variation in the conventional paradigms for historical terms which have evolved in non-Western cultures -- no less in Wikipedia than elsewhere. I'm persuaded that, at least in the context of Japanese history before the reign of Emperor Meiji (1868-1912), some non-standard variations seem essential; but I'm not sure how best to present my reasoning to those who don't already agree with me. I know these first steps are inevitably awkward; but there you have it.
The newly-created 1703 Genroku earthquake article pushed just the right buttons for me. Obviously, these are questions that I'd been pondering for some time; and this became a convenient opportunity to move forward in a process of building a new kind of evolving consensus. -- Ooperhoofd ( talk) 18:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

First the Swiss allowed train-loads of Jews to be moved by the Nazis through their patch; then they cooked the international finance rules; then they cook WP articles. Hmmph.
I have a short film of a high official of one of the biggest Swiss banks, incredibly, admitting to collusion WRT > $100bn stolen by a dictator. I have a mind to post it on You-Tube. That would be letting off a big bomb, wouldn't it? But I don't want my holiday ruined next week by pesky journalists. Tony (talk) 16:09, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
