Hi Bob, You added a citation to Devilly for this statement: "Since then, NLP has been regarded with suspicion or outright hostility by the academic, psychiatric and medical professions" [1]. What I'm looking for is some evidence to support the statement directly. It could be a poll or a statement from a professional organisation. Devilly does not say anything specific about the attitude of health professionals towards NLP in particular. There may well be some evidence for this claim or a similar one in the literature. ---- Action potential discuss contribs 14:25, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

RE this, please explain how you define "consensus". Looking at the talkpage, all I can see is a giant mess involving half a dozen possible approaches, further disrupted by logged out trolling and general misbehaviour of agenda-driven editors. There are a few pov-pushers on the page who make a habit of saying "we have consensus, see above" every five minutes in an attempt to stifle the discussion. There is not in fact such a consensus, and these accounts just try to disrupt any bona fide considerations of viewpoints they dislike. I find it rather difficult to make up my mind about the best course of action in this situation, and the tags you removed were placed in good faith to reflect the ongoing debate on talk. -- dab (𒁳) 14:12, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes the Priestmangoode company is only a design company but i believe Siemens was persuing the Mercury design. They (Priestmangoode and Siemens) jointly presented it as Siemens participant in Mexico's high speed train bid and it got the most attention, especially after Siemens said it was interested in having the trainset manufacutured in Mexico (Siemens already has other non-train realated faclilties in Mexico). Their is track currently being built (more like being refurbished really) in Monterrey and it's been on the news a bit because the project was stalled during 2008, but Televisa and Azteca have both said that it's still going through. 69.235.193.67 ( talk) 15:28, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Sorry im not that knowledgable about that. What has been on the news this last month has been that sectors of the commuter network (the suburban train network) are being closed to convert them to the high speed network which will connect to guadalajara, im actually a bit confused and frustrated about this myself. And about the Priesmangoode design, what happened is Siemens original tender in the competition was the Velero, however it was given little interest due to lobbying by the Japanese with the E5 which at that point seemed like it would for sure become the winner. And Priestmangoode is only a designer so the need an actual manufacturing firm if they want their concept to come to life. They tried to interest other firms in Britain with the design but that didnt go anywhere. The Mexican transportaion secretary had already stated in the very beginging that a double decker system was preferable and since Siemens Velaro was pretty much already out of the compettition Siemens took back it's tender. Siemens then jointly (with priesmangoode) presented the concept to the Mexican transportation secretary that it could jointly manufacture the double decked Mercury design. But what really is the main aspect of why Siemens bid will probably win is because they are wiling to have the rolling stock fully manufactured in Mexico. This was in the July 2008 issue of Ferrocarril. In the end no real progress was really made in the final selection because then the Japanese and the French gave the same offer of manufacuring the trains in Mexico after Siemens came up with the concept so we still have to wait till 2011 to find out who wins :/ 69.235.193.67 ( talk) 16:23, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm sure this is a notable topic, the problem was that all three versions, as you suggested, infringed copyright by pasting from the site. The content was also surprisingly spammy for a government site. You have nothing to beat, so go for it (: Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
In the Orgone article, go to the reflist at the bottom, and click on the link for item 13 (the ref you just restored). The site is rigged so that if a link comes from Wikipedia, the site opens an anti-wikipedia page instead of the actual target page. If you copy/paste the link into your browser, it does not do this ... but because the site has rigged itself to redirect all links that show they originate from Wikipedia, the link becomes unusable as a ref note, and a new source is needed. --- Barek ( talk) - 15:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
I got no problem with that; I'd just based the title of the article I wrote off ones like China Railways HXD1 or Korail Class 8200.

I was a little surprised that you could give me the courtesy of explaining why you asked "since when is Weymouth important".
Well Weymouth is the terminus of the SW Main Line for a start. Weymouth and Portland are hosting the 2012 Olympic Sailing events. The Borough of Weymouth and Portland and the surrounding villages has quite significient traffic to London.
As a compromise, I am happy to delete Dorchester, but really feel Weymouth should remain.

I have suspicions, but in the name of AGF, I'm looking for a second opinion.

Regarding source - correct that Therramus not economist - my bad. However the sources are publications at the energy bulletin.com and the oil drum.com - two respected sources. Also the hypothesis not an unsubstantiated opinion - but based on a data - Figure 8 http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6025. This chart actually looks substantive compared to the speculations on causes of Black Monday offered elsewhere in the wiki - which for the most part are opinions i.e., no data given in support.

The Mexican transportaion secretary had already stated in the very beginging that a double decker system was preferable and since Siemens Velaro was pretty much already out of the compettition Siemens took back it's tender. Siemens then jointly (with priesmangoode) presented the concept to the Mexican transportation secretary that it could jointly manufacture the double decked Mercury design. But what really is the main aspect of why Siemens bid will probably win is because they are wiling to have the rolling stock fully manufactured in Mexico. This was in the July 2008 issue of Ferrocarril. In the end no real progress was really made in the final selection because then the Japanese and the French gave the same offer of manufacuring the trains in Mexico after Siemens came up with the concept so we still have to wait till 2011 to find out who wins :/ 69.235.193.67 ( talk) 16:23, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm sure this is a notable topic, the problem was that all three versions, as you suggested, infringed copyright by pasting from the site. The content was also surprisingly spammy for a government site. You have nothing to beat, so go for it (: Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
In the Orgone article, go to the reflist at the bottom, and click on the link for item 13 (the ref you just restored). The site is rigged so that if a link comes from Wikipedia, the site opens an anti-wikipedia page instead of the actual target page. If you copy/paste the link into your browser, it does not do this ... but because the site has rigged itself to redirect all links that show they originate from Wikipedia, the link becomes unusable as a ref note, and a new source is needed. --- Barek ( talk) - 15:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
I got no problem with that; I'd just based the title of the article I wrote off ones like China Railways HXD1 or Korail Class 8200. There's also titles like EMD AEM-7, or just HHP-8, so since there's no consistency with the titles, I just went with how the other EuroSprinter varients were named.

Hi. Re: your sentence at VPR: "I think it would be better in the top box, which is currently called "Navigate"". Two points:
You might want to amend your initial comment at that thread. (It's fine to change your comments, if noone has replied to them yet (and I don't count ;) ) HTH. -- Quiddity ( talk) 19:22, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
WhiteWriter is trying again to gain a consensus on Kosovo to split the article. Unfortunately the discussion has become a case, where the vast majority of supports are from Serb editors without a single argument [4]. When I pointed out that users without a conlict of interest have rejected this proposal about a month ago I got this reply [5]. -- — ZjarriRrethues — talk 19:10, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Is it time to get rid of Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2010-08-06/United States Senate elections in Illinois, 2010.-- Jerzeykydd ( talk) 14:01, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
I was a little surprised that you could give me the courtesy of explaining why you asked "since when is Weymouth important".
Well Weymouth is the terminus of the SW Main Line for a start. Weymouth and Portland are hosting the 2012 Olympic Sailing events. The Borough of Weymouth and Portland and the surrounding villages has quite significient traffic to London.
As a compromise, I am happy to delete Dorchester, but really feel Weymouth should remain.

Hi Bob, You worked on trying to assist in settling the dispute over whether or not to include certain candidates in the infobox here. Well, a similar dispute with several of the same users has come up on the Illinois gubernatorial election, 2010. It is becoming increasingly frustrating to deal with certain editors who will not adjust their rationale despite repeated points to the contrary. I have reverted edits twice today which are disruptive and do not plan to exceed this reversions today. I would really appreciate your help with this.-- TM 19:03, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bob. Thanks for chipping in at the Afd, it's not a cut-and-dry case and appreciate the extra eyes. What do you make of the recent additions? I have suspicions, but in the name of AGF, I'm looking for a second opinion. The new refs seem to be implying that this is a government-backed program, but from what I've seen so far, it appears to be a customer loyalty scheme. Maybe I'm way off base here, would appreciate your take. The Interior (Talk) 22:58, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
This still smacks of recentism to me, but perhaps it should be mentioned. I'd like to see better sources on both the history of Canal closures and the damage to the bridge, though. Please don't take my reversion as a rebuke; rather, I'd just like to see the details better cited. Mark Shaw ( talk) 02:02, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Regarding source - correct that Therramus not economist - my bad. However the sources are publications at the energy bulletin.com and the oil drum.com - two respected sources. Also the hypothesis not an unsubstantiated opinion - but based on a data - Figure 8 http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6025. This chart actually looks substantive compared to the speculations on causes of Black Monday offered elsewhere in the wiki - which for the most part are opinions i.e., no data given in support.
I must congratulate you for keeping track of this Vandal, User:Medicineman84 on the Ghana article,i have been having problem for a while with him blanking Ghana's GDP PPP section in the infobox and acting as the owner of the page,do you know he even warned me on my talk page to STOP EDITING the Ghana page...,welldone Bobrayner,you are the best,i like your stand on the page,thanks Earlymen ( talk) 04:29,24 December 2010 (UTC)

Please stop calling M*R where R is sometimes 20 and sometimes 100 original research. changing numbers in the same equation to show how the equation works IS NOT ORIGINAL RESEARCH. stop calling it that.

Showing how an equation changes as you change the variables is the best way to show how an equation works. I am not happy that banks can relend like this but it is intellectually deceiving to not discuss reality. You can call it OR, or unsourced, or what have you but just because you delete the section doesn't make it not true, original research, or unsourced. I have addressed each of your concerns as you have deleted the section, despite my calls for you to take your uncalled for edits to the talk page. What's next?

After failing multiple times to gain a consensus now Alinor decided to make changes that he considers as a status quo [8], which incidentally is similar to the pre-ICJ decision of the article and against the current consensus [9].
