Apart from tone and an artificial segregation of alternative investments from investments generally, the third aspect of the way that alternative investments are discussed that has interfered with institutionally oriented examination of them is rampant terminological inexactitude.

On 25 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Excarpsus cummeani, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 8th-century penitential Excarpsus cummeani extends its scope to define penances for clerics also, possibly influenced by Saint Boniface? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

The originator's pages (Just an IP address). The rules you referred me to: "It is best to avoid changing your own comments. Other users may have already quoted you with a diff (see above) or have otherwise responded to your statement. Therefore, use "Show preview" and think about how your amended statement may look to others before you save it.
Substantially altering a comment after it has been replied to may deny the reply of its original context. It can also be confusing. Before you change your own comment, consider taking one of the following steps:
Contact the person(s) who replied (through their talk page) and ask if it is okay to delete or change your text" -- BuddyOfHolly ( talk) 19:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey Drmies. This is Rp0211 from Wikipedia:Administrator's noticeboard/Incidents#User:Mattchewbaca. I have a quick question about the articles I had up for good article nomination. I had Who We Are (Lifehouse album) and First Time (Lifehouse song) both up for nomination until Mattchewbacca failed both of my articles. Do you think I should nominate both of these articles for a second good article nomination or do you think it should be a GA1 considering the situation with Mattchewbaca?

You referred S.L. Sadhu to me a week or so ago, having done a clean up of the thing. I have struggled to find any additional content other than sourcing various works by the guy. Most of those works are short and perhaps more akin to academic papers rather than full-blown books, although he does appear to have jointly edited some other stuff.
There was definitely a POV-pusher involved and in consequence I have cleaned up numerous other articles where that person had inserted a note about Sadhu. Beyond this, I cannot progress things further. The guy appears to be at best borderline notable, especially given that I can find no detail of the national prizes one source says he has been awarded, nor indeed the UNESCO prize. - Sitush ( talk) 13:10, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

<--Ironholds, just to make myself clear, the article does not state that the album was released on that label. I'm not even talking about bollocks, just about what is and isn't said. The band certainly doesn't have "two albums on a notable independent label".

The claim may be a lie, or vague, or whatever--but such a claim has to be made to (theoretically) avoid speedy deletion. If you don't say or otherwise indicate that your MySpace band (yes, I heard your tracks--a bit too 80s for me) is important (hinting at the notability standards for musicians), you can get tagged and deleted (under CSD A7).

I walked into the kitchen to day to see the 4 year old playing iBacon on my iPad...I was never prouder.

Way back when, you first appeared as a blip on my radar when you dropped by on my talk page with some encouraging comments regarding what was a (metaphorical) decimation of University of East London and its related articles. As I recall, your comment related to how I was explaining things in the edit summary, step by step. You will never know how much that meant to me. It was an awkward situation, I was still fairly green when it came to dealing with disputes and your common sense, humour and relaxed attitude really did settle me down.
Now, I am dealing with someone who may perhaps also benefit from a little boost on the confidence side of things. I took CaroleHenson under my wing when she first started contributing and, after an initially awkward phase, she really has come on very well and has contributed hugely in various spheres. But her confidence has taken quite a knock recently, much of which may well be down to personality clashes. There appears to be no doubt that some of the stuff she has done falls into that mysterious and somewhat subjective realm of close paraphrasing (an issue regarding which I would be amazed if I have not transgressed myself at some point) but I feel that the real issue is more related to how such problems are explained etc than with the substance. She is keen and willing, helpful to others and prepared to learn but may now be a little unsettled with self-doubt. In this instance, there is no dispute, far from it: she recognises that there are issues and is keen to resolve them, but may it seems may be in a bit of a panic mainly because of the way things have been communicated. A good faith contributor who is prepared to self-review, take on advice, query etc should not, imo, be in that state.
So, while I do not expect you to work through the entire back-story, which is complicated and involves some long-term and respected contributors, your gentle touch and humour may achieve more in settling and advancing things from her perspective. It does not involve becoming in past issues but rather "popping in" now and again to pass a comment. It need not be a complimentary comment, either: just another set of eyes of the type that you possess would do the trick, I feel. No obligation ... but I have some photos of the Goldie! - Sitush ( talk) 00:56, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I need a friendly citizen of the US. That's you.
WP:Notability (people) says that a judge is notable if they hold/held a statewide office. I rather think that being on the bench of the Missouri supreme court is a statewide office. Am I right? It would be v. handy if I am, as I can write a small article that ties that person (a Silas Bent) in as the father of several people who already have articles here, eg: William Bent and Charles Bent, and a daughter who was the wife of Lilburn Boggs.

I was not involved in an edit war, I had been engaged in an operation against a vandal. If I were wrong and the edits were correct, the user in question could have made a far more commendable effort by attempting to discuss rather than shout "NON-ENCYCLOPAEDIC" on the summary. You need to look at my vantage point, there I was watching changes and suddenly the references removed tag shows itself and the perpetrator is an IP, to my experience, 1001 times out of 1000 it tends to be unconstructive editing. When that same user then makes a personal attack on my talk page, using the word "peder" (meaning poofter in our Slavic tongues), how do I assume good faith. Also, are you doing anything about the personal attack in question? Evlekis (Евлекис) 13:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Keep doing your stuff. You will find all sorts of phrasing issues because we have been trying to contain a rather awkward situation regarding pov pushing/OR/synth/blah blah for a couple of months now. This has caused a fair amount of tiptoe-ing in the interests of finding a conciliatory way forward in the short term. Not that it has actually achieved much as, for example, I am still the person who called an entire caste a "son of a dog, you bastard". There are also still some clearly incorrect bits in there, mostly with cite requests; these are remnants from before my involvement and my plan was to let them run until the end of July and then cull anything that remains uncited, on the grounds that a couple of months is more than sufficient for an article that gets so much traffic on its talk page.
Some of the subject matters and the sources themselves are, indeed, pretty complex, and the article (which still has unwritten areas!) is already quite big. There are forks available for some of the content but many of those are piss poor, and it made more sense to concentrate the arguments in one place than spread them across many.

Hi DrMies, I was wondering if you remember helping to assist in building this article in the last few months. Well it has gradually digressed into a dispute regarding sources, sources with correct reference to the group themselves and other disagreements over content.
It has become an edit war now. There was a version of the article that had consensus from the editors involved at the time here. You can read all about the discussion here but the dispute could easily be summed up on the discussion page if you want but it is mainly to do with reliable sources.

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/EPANews looks fine to me. However, is there any reason why you have done it as two separate reports, rather than one report on both suspects?

Since you mentioned you are knowledgeable about medieval topics, I was wondering if you could give me any feedback on the articles I've taken to FA.

Hi drmies - sorry to bother you yet again (posted above but not sure you saw it). During the recent saga, I agreed that a sentence dealing with sectarianism should be removed, and have, in my opinion, improved that section with more relevant material, although I am more than willing to debate changes. I have explained all this on the talk page. Adam has just reverted, without recourse to the talk page, making allegations of pushing a POV, original research (all sources were national newspapers) and original synthesis, which I would disagree with. To avoid getting into another situation, I was wonder if you could cast your experienced eye over this.Mattun0211 (talk) 12:45, 15 July 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattun0211 ( talk • contribs)
Cheers Drmies Mattun0211 ( talk) 02:40, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
I hope that you can make sense of what follows because it is a bit of a maze.
This redirect page simply reverses the title of the target article & omits a space in the process, so "Namasudra(Namassej)" redirects to "Namasudra (Namassej)". As a search term it is surely redundant. The article subject is an Indian caste, which like most of them has multiple names.
OK, it didn't redirect to the reverse name target, but rather to another article - Namassej. That was until about five minutes ago: the whole situation was a mess and I boldly redirected Namassej to Namasudra (Namassej), over-riding a pointless, disorganised and improperly conducted merge discussion that had faltered back in March. That discussion clearly involved contributors who knew little about the workings of WP and were arguing purely about whether a name was derogatory or not. I don't want to bore you with that but it is the old "sudra" issue that keeps cropping up on caste articles.
Anyways, how does one go about arranging for the deletion of a redirect page? Do I just PROD it for now and see if that works? Or are you going to slap my throttle hand for being bold?
Tbh, I would prefer to see the target article named solely "Namasudra", which would then make Namassej a truly decent redirect and provide two easy search strings. But probably best for me to break this down into stages. - Sitush ( talk) 02:12, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Yet another question. User:Keralites registered in 2008 & made one entry, which was to set up the user page. That page contains links to websites for Keralites (people of Kerala).

I have just read your comment at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Drscottesims. I'm afraid that the correct answer to "Hoary, got a button you can push?" is "Even if I have, I can't use it, as I started the MfD, so I'm not uninvolved". I would do it myself, but I placed a !vote, so I too am involved. However, closing one of these is easy, in fact so easy that even though you said "I really don't want to learn how to close this thing right now", I am going to tell you how to. (Look away if you REALLY don't want to know.) You just need to put {{subst:mfd top}} '''Speedy deleted''' ~~~~ at the very top of the page (yes, right at the top, above the section heading) and {{subst:mfd bottom}} at the bottom.

I have a question for you. How do you deal with an editor, who's soul mission is to undo ALL "Red links" across a vast number of articles? Planetary Chaos Redux ( talk) 00:55, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Ahh yes. I have dealt with several of IP's in this regard. The latest one, Admin Graham87 dropped a note on one of the IP's user talk page letting them know. The Admin, was the first to leave them a message. I, at first didn't know as, the IP deleted that message and all I saw was, blank page. I went through the history and saw another use mention red links so, I restored that part as it was inline with what I was dealing with. I was surprised to know it was an Admin who first informed the IP. But, the IP knows full well about red links having been told by an Admin. In the summary, I would state that I am, "Restoring, "RED link"", (not using the words "revert" unless it was about unexplained deletions and that is rare. I like the word "restore"). Just as the Admin had done, Now, I'm curious on how to deal with this because, the IP has reverted all my restorations and, also, has reverted some of my restoration under another IP. So, how do you deal with that? Can't keep restoring them because it would go 3RR but, we just can't leave it like it is, or, do we? Another thing they have started doing was, instead of de-wikilinking, (like a person) they outright delete that section. Thoughts? Planetary Chaos Redux ( talk) 02:30, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Apart from tone and an artificial segregation of alternative investments from investments generally, the third aspect of the way that alternative investments are discussed that has interfered with institutionally oriented examination of them is rampant terminological inexactitude.

The originator's pages (Just an IP address). The rules you referred me to: "It is best to avoid changing your own comments. Other users may have already quoted you with a diff (see above) or have otherwise responded to your statement. Therefore, use "Show preview" and think about how your amended statement may look to others before you save it.
Substantially altering a comment after it has been replied to may deny the reply of its original context. It can also be confusing. Before you change your own comment, consider taking one of the following steps:
Contact the person(s) who replied (through their talk page) and ask if it is okay to delete or change your text" -- BuddyOfHolly ( talk) 19:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey Drmies. This is Rp0211 from Wikipedia:Administrator's noticeboard/Incidents#User:Mattchewbaca. I have a quick question about the articles I had up for good article nomination. I had Who We Are (Lifehouse album) and First Time (Lifehouse song) both up for nomination until Mattchewbacca failed both of my articles. Do you think I should nominate both of these articles for a second good article nomination or do you think it should be a GA1 considering the situation with Mattchewbaca?

You referred S.L. Sadhu to me a week or so ago, having done a clean up of the thing. I have struggled to find any additional content other than sourcing various works by the guy. Most of those works are short and perhaps more akin to academic papers rather than full-blown books, although he does appear to have jointly edited some other stuff.
There was definitely a POV-pusher involved and in consequence I have cleaned up numerous other articles where that person had inserted a note about Sadhu. Beyond this, I cannot progress things further. The guy appears to be at best borderline notable, especially given that I can find no detail of the national prizes one source says he has been awarded, nor indeed the UNESCO prize. - Sitush ( talk) 13:10, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

<--Ironholds, just to make myself clear, the article does not state that the album was released on that label. I'm not even talking about bollocks, just about what is and isn't said. The band certainly doesn't have "two albums on a notable independent label". Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 21:08, 2 July 2011 (UTC) <--Sitush, CSD is about whether or not a claim to notability (importance, whatever) is asserted. The claim may be a lie, or vague, or whatever--but such a claim has to be made to (theoretically) avoid speedy deletion. If you don't say or otherwise indicate that your MySpace band (yes, I heard your tracks--a bit too 80s for me) is important (hinting at the notability standards for musicians), you can get tagged and deleted (under CSD A7).

I walked into the kitchen to day to see the 4 year old playing iBacon on my iPad...I was never prouder.

Way back when, you first appeared as a blip on my radar when you dropped by on my talk page with some encouraging comments regarding what was a (metaphorical) decimation of University of East London and its related articles. As I recall, your comment related to how I was explaining things in the edit summary, step by step. You will never know how much that meant to me. It was an awkward situation, I was still fairly green when it came to dealing with disputes and your common sense, humour and relaxed attitude really did settle me down.
Now, I am dealing with someone who may perhaps also benefit from a little boost on the confidence side of things. I took CaroleHenson under my wing when she first started contributing and, after an initially awkward phase, she really has come on very well and has contributed hugely in various spheres. But her confidence has taken quite a knock recently, much of which may well be down to personality clashes. There appears to be no doubt that some of the stuff she has done falls into that mysterious and somewhat subjective realm of close paraphrasing (an issue regarding which I would be amazed if I have not transgressed myself at some point) but I feel that the real issue is more related to how such problems are explained etc than with the substance. She is keen and willing, helpful to others and prepared to learn but may now be a little unsettled with self-doubt. In this instance, there is no dispute, far from it: she recognises that there are issues and is keen to resolve them, but may it seems may be in a bit of a panic mainly because of the way things have been communicated. A good faith contributor who is prepared to self-review, take on advice, query etc should not, imo, be in that state.
So, while I do not expect you to work through the entire back-story, which is complicated and involves some long-term and respected contributors, your gentle touch and humour may achieve more in settling and advancing things from her perspective. It does not involve becoming in past issues but rather "popping in" now and again to pass a comment. It need not be a complimentary comment, either: just another set of eyes of the type that you possess would do the trick, I feel. No obligation ... but I have some photos of the Goldie! - Sitush ( talk) 00:56, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I need a friendly citizen of the US. That's you.
WP:Notability (people) says that a judge is notable if they hold/held a statewide office. I rather think that being on the bench of the Missouri supreme court is a statewide office. Am I right? It would be v. handy if I am, as I can write a small article that ties that person (a Silas Bent) in as the father of several people who already have articles here, eg: William Bent and Charles Bent, and a daughter who was the wife of Lilburn Boggs.

I was not involved in an edit war, I had been engaged in an operation against a vandal. If I were wrong and the edits were correct, the user in question could have made a far more commendable effort by attempting to discuss rather than shout "NON-ENCYCLOPAEDIC" on the summary. You need to look at my vantage point, there I was watching changes and suddenly the references removed tag shows itself and the perpetrator is an IP, to my experience, 1001 times out of 1000 it tends to be unconstructive editing. When that same user then makes a personal attack on my talk page, using the word "peder" (meaning poofter in our Slavic tongues), how do I assume good faith. Also, are you doing anything about the personal attack in question? Evlekis (Евлекис) 13:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
Next time, please look more carefully. The IP did explain, even if they did so in terms you didn't approve of (and I don't like them either), and you simply hit rollback a bunch of times. That they insulted you is not nice, but I can understand that they were frustrated. Thank you. Drmies ( talk) 21:47, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Keep doing your stuff. You will find all sorts of phrasing issues because we have been trying to contain a rather awkward situation regarding pov pushing/OR/synth/blah blah for a couple of months now. This has caused a fair amount of tiptoe-ing in the interests of finding a conciliatory way forward in the short term. Not that it has actually achieved much as, for example, I am still the person who called an entire caste a "son of a dog, you bastard". There are also still some clearly incorrect bits in there, mostly with cite requests; these are remnants from before my involvement and my plan was to let them run until the end of July and then cull anything that remains uncited, on the grounds that a couple of months is more than sufficient for an article that gets so much traffic on its talk page.
Some of the subject matters and the sources themselves are, indeed, pretty complex, and the article (which still has unwritten areas!) is already quite big. There are forks available for some of the content but many of those are piss poor, and it made more sense to concentrate the arguments in one place than spread them across many.

Hi DrMies, I was wondering if you remember helping to assist in building this article in the last few months. Well it has gradually digressed into a dispute regarding sources, sources with correct reference to the group themselves and other disagreements over content.
It has become an edit war now. There was a version of the article that had consensus from the editors involved at the time here. You can read all about the discussion here but the dispute could easily be summed up on the discussion page if you want but it is mainly to do with reliable sources.

Hi drmies - sorry to bother you yet again (posted above but not sure you saw it). During the recent saga, I agreed that a sentence dealing with sectarianism should be removed, and have, in my opinion, improved that section with more relevant material, although I am more than willing to debate changes. I have explained all this on the talk page. Adam has just reverted, without recourse to the talk page, making allegations of pushing a POV, original research (all sources were national newspapers) and original synthesis, which I would disagree with.

Cheers Drmies Mattun0211 ( talk) 02:40, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
I hope that you can make sense of what follows because it is a bit of a maze.
This redirect page simply reverses the title of the target article & omits a space in the process, so "Namasudra(Namassej)" redirects to "Namasudra (Namassej)". As a search term it is surely redundant. The article subject is an Indian caste, which like most of them has multiple names.
OK, it didn't redirect to the reverse name target, but rather to another article - Namassej. That was until about five minutes ago: the whole situation was a mess and I boldly redirected Namassej to Namasudra (Namassej), over-riding a pointless, disorganised and improperly conducted merge discussion that had faltered back in March. That discussion clearly involved contributors who knew little about the workings of WP and were arguing purely about whether a name was derogatory or not. I don't want to bore you with that but it is the old "sudra" issue that keeps cropping up on caste articles.
Anyways, how does one go about arranging for the deletion of a redirect page? Do I just PROD it for now and see if that works? Or are you going to slap my throttle hand for being bold?
Tbh, I would prefer to see the target article named solely "Namasudra", which would then make Namassej a truly decent redirect and provide two easy search strings. But probably best for me to break this down into stages. - Sitush ( talk) 02:12, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Yet another question. User:Keralites registered in 2008 & made one entry, which was to set up the user page. That page contains links to websites for Keralites (people of Kerala).

I have just read your comment at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Drscottesims. I'm afraid that the correct answer to "Hoary, got a button you can push?" is "Even if I have, I can't use it, as I started the MfD, so I'm not uninvolved". I would do it myself, but I placed a !vote, so I too am involved. However, closing one of these is easy, in fact so easy that even though you said "I really don't want to learn how to close this thing right now", I am going to tell you how to. (Look away if you REALLY don't want to know.) You just need to put {{subst:mfd top}} '''Speedy deleted''' ~~~~ at the very top of the page (yes, right at the top, above the section heading) and {{subst:mfd bottom}} at the bottom.

Ahh yes. I have dealt with several of IP's in this regard. The latest one, Admin Graham87 dropped a note on one of the IP's user talk page letting them know. The Admin, was the first to leave them a message. I, at first didn't know as, the IP deleted that message and all I saw was, blank page. I went through the history and saw another use mention red links so, I restored that part as it was inline with what I was dealing with. I was surprised to know it was an Admin who first informed the IP. But, the IP knows full well about red links having been told by an Admin. In the summary, I would state that I am, "Restoring, "RED link"", (not using the words "revert" unless it was about unexplained deletions and that is rare. I like the word "restore"). Just as the Admin had done, Now, I'm curious on how to deal with this because, the IP has reverted all my restorations and, also, has reverted some of my restoration under another IP. So, how do you deal with that? Can't keep restoring them because it would go 3RR but, we just can't leave it like it is, or, do we? Another thing they have started doing was, instead of de-wikilinking, (like a person) they outright delete that section. Thoughts? Planetary Chaos Redux ( talk) 02:30, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Unusual marriage paragraph on nair article have no citation . I just asked for citation thats all. please check yourself.
Basically No. The debate there was if that paragraph should be put on the introduction itself or not. other than user stush talked about some 'unclear reference that may have it' nothing to support the clame that "Nair marriage was divided into two separate rituals, the pre-puberty thalikettu kalyanam and the later sambandham" I like to know where this detailed division is given. then "This practice led to some women (predominantly from central Kerala) bearing legitimate children with several husbands, and in some areas it lasted until the 1960s" who said any thing about 1960?? "Some Nair women from higher subdivisions also practiced hypergamy" who said so??
I like to see the reference for this three statements . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.172.216.204 ( talk) 17:18, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Am just saying if you put the citations there itself the article will look more solid thats all . I dont know why administrators are looking disgustedly at every one suggesting a change in nair article other than sitush or mv. I hope you can see the big picture here. every one on that talk page except sitush & mv thinks that article is a pov. Its been going for 4 months now. older talks were deleted by some people. but it was all editors & ips vs sitush & mv . is there a chance that sitush is the one whos pushing the pov?? I like you administrators to look in to this matter with no prejudices. 122.172.216.204 ( talk) 17:44, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

You miss first poetry book Sehr-e-Jazbat (A City Of Emotions) to cite,Ref.1,is needed too,book is mentioned in article.
I see your editing notes,in pakistan,this is very common to be a private student,that means who have jobs or other poeple who can not pay the university fee,they can study as a private student. And your other note, I have not got political asylum,nor refused,but I had myself withdrawn asylum appeal because of some painfull reasons,it is a big and long story which,I am writing in these days in my autobiography and will published next year in April or March,(in Urdu,Englih,and Dutch.).
One thing more, in my photo image box,my nationality is shown Pakistani,but since 1986,I am Dutch National.but I have also Pakistan Origin Card,which means entitled visa free entry into Pakistan. Ehsan Sehgal ( talk) 19:28, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello. You have a new message at LadyofShalott's talk page.
Can you see this? The download link is at Columbia Univ and needs a username/password. I have the feeling that it may be a monster of a thing. - Sitush ( talk) 01:55, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
