Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. -- Vision Thing -- 11:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Full Shunyata ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
I have recently been blocked on Wikipedia. I was blocked for reverting an article more than three times, however I did not know about the rule until after I reverted an article for the third time. Another user named User:Intagible was the one who requested for me to be blocked, however he himself disobeyed the rule as well and told me about the rule after the third time he reverted an article. I also have a feeling he could be doing this as part of a revenge plot against me because I lodged a complaint against one of his friends on Wikipedia.
If at all possible, could the block time on my IP address be lifted or shortened? -- Full Shunyata 22:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Decline reason:

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Wikipedia can be exhausting. I just use it to sharpen my skills, and to force me to ask questions about the material that wouldn't necessarily be obvious from a traditional anarchist POV, or from that of a historian. I can time to some of the sharper an-caps, because, ultimately, they're doing me an inadvertant favor. Anyway, ideological opportunism on a Wikipedia page doesn't exactly make you part of the Axis of Evil. Wikipedia is the "through the rabbit-hole version of scholarship. There isn't much we can do here, in terms of defending truth and accuracy, beyond minimize the damage resulting from a bad model. Sounds kinda like real life, when you think about it. ;)
Take some time off, if you need to. The battles going on here are not so important that they should wreck your day in any way. Check out my blogs (on my User page) if the individualist history interests you. Been fun. Libertatia 19:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Please don't materially change sourced statements unless you've seen the source and think you can reword it more accurately to say what the source says. Right now, you're changing sourced statements without having seen the source and making the statements say something other than what the sources are saying. It becomes a misrepresentation of the source. If you don't have the source to look at, then just ask me and I'll quote the source for you and you can check my restatement of it and reword it if you think I have it wrong. I restate what the sources say to the best of my ability when I source something, but I could always accidently misinterpret something, so I have no problem with you checking up on it.

Not a problem on helping you out on the talk:Super Saiyan page. But the main reason I can see, and this is just my opinion. But Toriyama had to keep the fight between Gohan and Dabura somewhat even, think about this one. Buu killed Dabura easy. But Vegeta was able for a little while hang with Buu as a SSJ2 in him Majin form but if Gohan and Majin Vegeta's SSJ2 forms close in power (But we know majin Vegeta was stronger than Gohan as SSJ2) now image what would have happen to Dabura if he fought a SSJ2 Gohan. That would not be a long fight and the story would not have progressed into the Buu saga. See people have to look at the big picture sometimes, I'm talking in general not to a particular person. If some things happened the way people feel or want it to be then some things would not happen the way it turned out. If Gohan went SSJ2 and beat or killed Dabura. We would not have seen Majin Vegeta because Babidi would have been killed by then. Buu would not have been revived. We probably would not have seen SSJ2 or SSJ3 Goku and we would not have seen any of the fusions. I know something may seem better to use but in the end the way it was turn out for the best and we got one of the best animes in history. Heat P 11:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the complament. I been watching, reading, and studying Dragon Ball for a very long time (around 15 years to be exact) And even though I watch ever episode, read every manga chapter and read numerous article, internet sites and books, I go back and watch and read them every once in a while. So we agree on the SSJ powers and the emotions things because it could be true to that theory. Being angry and getting Stronger or powerful from it does not just apply to Gohan, As us real humans when we get mad or angry we get stronger than our normal selves so your theory is sound and I believe it. I totally agree on the Japanese people refusing to let Gohan get some spot time after Cell. But you know fans, we get stuck on somethings and we stick to them. And with Goku being the hero in every saga until Cell I can see why the japanese wanted Goku back. But it would have been cool to have Toriyama continue on the track of letting Gohan become the hero. That was his original plan before he got the response to put Goku back as the hero. As you seen in the beginning of the Buu saga (The Great Saiyanman and Babidi saga) he was being placed as the original hero before Goku was used. Even when he fought Buu it seemed he would somehow be the hero but after that people seen fusion and wanted to see Goku and Vegeta use it in the series but because it was used in movie 12 to get Gogeta and Vegeta was actually never around to see the fusion technique and learn it a new way to fuse had to be made. So to counteract that he Toriyama created Vegetto. That is why Gohan never got the chance later to kill Buu because of that reason.
However I am sorry to say this because a lot of people did say this but I went back and watch the Dabura fight and unless it was said sometime after the fight, during the fight I did not hear Goku, Vegeta nor Gohan mention that Dabura was stronger the Cell. The only thing that was mentioned was that Gohan was stronger as a kid. I watch the Funimation dub version, the Funimation japanese sub version and even a bootleg copy to make sure and they all basically say the same thing that Gohan was stronger as a little kid then he was fighting Dabura. I am not saying you did not see it or hear it but I think that most people are going of them saying Gohan was Stronger as a k9id think that they mean his SSJ2 form. But of course they are wrong as Gohan was only a SSJ fighting Dabura. It was not mentioned anytime about Cell while I watched the anime. I am deployed with the military now so I can't check the mangas I got at home. So to make sure can you see for me if the manga says it?
As for GT, I like that series too unlike a lot of other people but you are right. Goku did mention that even though he was still able to go into all his SSJ forms other than SSJ4 at the time we was weaker. But each time he is shown to be stronger than Gohan and Vegeta's SSJ forms. Shoot remember when they were under Baby's influence Goku in normal form defeat SSJ Gohan and Goten at the same time. But somethings make no sense sometimes in DB period. Like at the beginning of GT. Remember when Goku tryed to use the instant transmission he could not because he was suppose to have been reverted back to a child's body before his adult body learned any of his well known moves other than the Kamehameha? So how was it possible for him to become a SSJ when his body was at the state it was in? Guess SSJ powers, which is genetic linked to saiyans remain from a wish such as that while techniques ago away until learned again but then how was he able to use the Dragon Fist on Super 17? But again he was now a SSJ4 so his body may have gotten use to it and his techniques may have returned as he was able later to use the ITM again.
Again thanks for the compliment. Heat P 15:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia's policy on original research: Wikipedia:No original research. Specially relevant part is this, which talks about synthesis of published material, and this, which states that: An article or section of an article that relies on a primary source should (1) only make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is easily verifiable by any reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge, and (2) make no analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims. Contributors drawing on entirely primary sources should be careful to comply with both conditions. I'm drawing your attention to this parts of official Wikipedia policy because of yours recent edits on Collectivism and Benjamin Tucker. Happy editing... -- Vision Thing -- 19:38, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
In my opinion, you are still not getting Wikipedia:No original research policy. If you have trouble in accepting my arguments, please ask one of the administrators who shares your point of view (like Francis Tyers or Sarge Baldy) to explain it to you in relation to your edits. -- Vision Thing -- 19:39, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Hiya, I'm sorry, I'm not on wikipedia a lot these days, I got exams and stuff to be doing. Try to stay cool I guess, and not let yourself be dragged too deeply into this, it's just an internet website that few people take seriously as material for research. Just ignore Vision Thing's random policy attacks on you, they're a bit hypocritical IMO, he's done that to me and quite a few other people. -- infinity 0 19:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I've done a bit of evidence collecting regarding Vision Thing as Sockpuppet/Meatpuppet. I've now identified five distinct cases where he was a suspected sockpuppet of RJ or Anarcho-capitalism by different editors. This includes an instance when his account was first created, and an accusation by myself. In case you are interested I have posted links to this evidence on the following page. As you can see from the evidence I collected the 2nd time he was suspected, his edits have on multiple occasions been identical to those of RJII. This is just a heads-up I'm sending out to folks who've been recently involved with his various sockpuppet incarnations. Etcetc 07:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Mr. Shunyata, I recommend you familiarize yourself with the way Wikipedia is supposed to work. You're being very destructive. You're deleting things that are sourced and putting things in that are unsourced. This is opposite the way it's supposed to work. If something is sourced you should generally leave it alone. If something is unsourced and someone deletes it because of that, you shouldn't put it back in unless you can give a source for it. Illegal editor 02:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm contemplating a fairly thorough overhaul of the mutualism page: adding a real history section, clearing up some of the imposed POV stuff. I would appreciate any feedback. The usual suspects will, of course, fight every inch of the way. I'll try to get a fuller proposed outline up this weekend. Libertatia 00:11, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Good news. My co-editor and I have a "hard nibble" from a university press on the Josiah Warren anthology we've been working on, and maybe a more general anthology beyond that. I'll be working on an essay on the equitable commerce movement for that, and it shouldn't be too hard to clarify some stuff here in the process.

Thanks for uploading Image:BeauBillingslea.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:54, 22 February 2008 (UTC).

Hi Full Shunyata. I believe the content you added to the Jeremiah Wright article would be more appropriate at the Jeremiah Wright sermon controversy article instead. This relatively new article was spun off from Jeremiah Wright's biography to hold content about last month's sermon controversy. Accordingly, the section at the Jeremiah Wright article could use reducing rather than expanding. TheslB ( talk) 19:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice to meet you. I see you also share a love of african history. I hope we can work together in the future. I had a question for u about a recent edit on the african empires article. I addressed it on the talk page there. I wanted to know if you would be opposed to removing the Nubian Empire from the page. It is my understanding that the "Nubian" empire is really just the Kingdom of Kush in its pre-imperial stage. Kush became an empire in the 6th century BC when it started swallowing up Kemet/Egypt (at least according to my source on the page). Is it possible to compromise on this issue? Also, I'd like your opinion on the Mali Empire article. I (and a few others) have worked really hard on it over the years. I love the Mali Empire. Maybe you could lend a hand on the Kingdom of Kush page, btw? ttyl. Scott Free ( talk) 17:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I have had to undo your recent edits to the above articles, because the material you have added is irrelevant. In the case of the blast furnace, it relates to a bloomery. In the case of the water wheel, it related to a sakia, a device for lifting water for irrigation, rather than device for extracting power from the fall of water to drive machinery. I put this down to an excess of enthusiasm, but please be careful to ensure that material you add is in fact relavant to the article, rather than that you think it would look good in it.

Hi, seeing some of your recent edits I am left wondering whether you are familiar with our guidelines on reliable sources? Webpages of activists, ngo's and online class notes are not reliable and should be avoided.

Hi, Full Shunyata. Thanks for your recent contribution to Race and crime in the United States. While I am really happy to see fresh "faces" working on this article, I think you might have overlooked a detail regarding the article itself and what it was saying. If you read carefully, you'll see that the experts being quoted are referring to African American men in colleges or universities, not African Americans in general. I checked up on the figures for 2000 from the Justice Policy Institute report "Cellblocks or Classrooms? The Funding of Higher Education and Corrections and its Impact on African-American Men" (you can access the report here), and the figures still hold more or less true when compared with those from 1989, i.e. 791,600 African American men in prison and jail, and 603,000 in higher education for the year 2000.

One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Wikipedia present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?
With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.
I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.
Thank-you,

Aloha!
My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.
Until this year, Wikipedia has largely relied upon personal appeals from founder Jimmy Wales to drive our annual fundraising efforts. We seek to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.
I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.
I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me, either over the phone, by Skype, by facebook, by email, or any means you like. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project and we'll set up a good time to discuss further.
Thank you,

Request reason:
I have recently been blocked on Wikipedia. I was blocked for reverting an article more than three times, however I did not know about the rule until after I reverted an article for the third time. Another user named User:Intagible was the one who requested for me to be blocked, however he himself disobeyed the rule as well and told me about the rule after the third time he reverted an article. I also have a feeling he could be doing this as part of a revenge plot against me because I lodged a complaint against one of his friends on Wikipedia.
If at all possible, could the block time on my IP address be lifted or shortened? -- Full Shunyata 22:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia can be exhausting. I just use it to sharpen my skills, and to force me to ask questions about the material that wouldn't necessarily be obvious from a traditional anarchist POV, or from that of a historian. I can time to some of the sharper an-caps, because, ultimately, they're doing me an inadvertant favor. Anyway, ideological opportunism on a Wikipedia page doesn't exactly make you part of the Axis of Evil. Wikipedia is the "through the rabbit-hole version of scholarship. There isn't much we can do here, in terms of defending truth and accuracy, beyond minimize the damage resulting from a bad model. Sounds kinda like real life, when you think about it. ;)

Please don't materially change sourced statements unless you've seen the source and think you can reword it more accurately to say what the source says. Right now, you're changing sourced statements without having seen the source and making the statements say something other than what the sources are saying. It becomes a misrepresentation of the source. If you don't have the source to look at, then just ask me and I'll quote the source for you and you can check my restatement of it and reword it if you think I have it wrong. I restate what the sources say to the best of my ability when I source something, but I could always accidently misinterpret something, so I have no problem with you checking up on it.

Not a problem on helping you out on the talk:Super Saiyan page. But the main reason I can see, and this is just my opinion. But Toriyama had to keep the fight between Gohan and Dabura somewhat even, think about this one. Buu killed Dabura easy. But Vegeta was able for a little while hang with Buu as a SSJ2 in him Majin form but if Gohan and Majin Vegeta's SSJ2 forms close in power (But we know majin Vegeta was stronger than Gohan as SSJ2) now image what would have happen to Dabura if he fought a SSJ2 Gohan. That would not be a long fight and the story would not have progressed into the Buu saga. See people have to look at the big picture sometimes, I'm talking in general not to a particular person. If some things happened the way people feel or want it to be then some things would not happen the way it turned out. If Gohan went SSJ2 and beat or killed Dabura. We would not have seen Majin Vegeta because Babidi would have been killed by then. Buu would not have been revived. We probably would not have seen SSJ2 or SSJ3 Goku and we would not have seen any of the fusions. I know something may seem better to use but in the end the way it was turn out for the best and we got one of the best animes in history. Heat P 11:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the complament. I been watching, reading, and studying Dragon Ball for a very long time (around 15 years to be exact) And even though I watch ever episode, read every manga chapter and read numerous article, internet sites and books, I go back and watch and read them every once in a while. So we agree on the SSJ powers and the emotions things because it could be true to that theory. Being angry and getting Stronger or powerful from it does not just apply to Gohan, As us real humans when we get mad or angry we get stronger than our normal selves so your theory is sound and I believe it. I totally agree on the Japanese people refusing to let Gohan get some spot time after Cell. But you know fans, we get stuck on somethings and we stick to them. And with Goku being the hero in every saga until Cell I can see why the japanese wanted Goku back. But it would have been cool to have Toriyama continue on the track of letting Gohan become the hero. That was his original plan before he got the response to put Goku back as the hero. As you seen in the beginning of the Buu saga (The Great Saiyanman and Babidi saga) he was being placed as the original hero before Goku was used. Even when he fought Buu it seemed he would somehow be the hero but after that people seen fusion and wanted to see Goku and Vegeta use it in the series but because it was used in movie 12 to get Gogeta and Vegeta was actually never around to see the fusion technique and learn it a new way to fuse had to be made. So to counteract that he Toriyama created Vegetto. That is why Gohan never got the chance later to kill Buu because of that reason.
However I am sorry to say this because a lot of people did say this but I went back and watch the Dabura fight and unless it was said sometime after the fight, during the fight I did not hear Goku, Vegeta nor Gohan mention that Dabura was stronger the Cell. The only thing that was mentioned was that Gohan was stronger as a kid. I watch the Funimation dub version, the Funimation japanese sub version and even a bootleg copy to make sure and they all basically say the same thing that Gohan was stronger as a little kid then he was fighting Dabura. I am not saying you did not see it or hear it but I think that most people are going of them saying Gohan was Stronger as a k9id think that they mean his SSJ2 form. But of course they are wrong as Gohan was only a SSJ fighting Dabura. It was not mentioned anytime about Cell while I watched the anime. I am deployed with the military now so I can't check the mangas I got at home. So to make sure can you see for me if the manga says it?
As for GT, I like that series too unlike a lot of other people but you are right. Goku did mention that even though he was still able to go into all his SSJ forms other than SSJ4 at the time we was weaker. But each time he is shown to be stronger than Gohan and Vegeta's SSJ forms. Shoot remember when they were under Baby's influence Goku in normal form defeat SSJ Gohan and Goten at the same time. But somethings make no sense sometimes in DB period. Like at the beginning of GT. Remember when Goku tryed to use the instant transmission he could not because he was suppose to have been reverted back to a child's body before his adult body learned any of his well known moves other than the Kamehameha? So how was it possible for him to become a SSJ when his body was at the state it was in? Guess SSJ powers, which is genetic linked to saiyans remain from a wish such as that while techniques ago away until learned again but then how was he able to use the Dragon Fist on Super 17? But again he was now a SSJ4 so his body may have gotten use to it and his techniques may have returned as he was able later to use the ITM again.
Again thanks for the compliment. Heat P 15:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia's policy on original research: Wikipedia:No original research. Specially relevant part is this, which talks about synthesis of published material, and this, which states that: An article or section of an article that relies on a primary source should (1) only make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is easily verifiable by any reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge, and (2) make no analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims. Contributors drawing on entirely primary sources should be careful to comply with both conditions.

Hello. I've done a bit of evidence collecting regarding Vision Thing as Sockpuppet/Meatpuppet. I've now identified five distinct cases where he was a suspected sockpuppet of RJ or Anarcho-capitalism by different editors. This includes an instance when his account was first created, and an accusation by myself. In case you are interested I have posted links to this evidence on the following page. As you can see from the evidence I collected the 2nd time he was suspected, his edits have on multiple occasions been identical to those of RJII. This is just a heads-up I'm sending out to folks who've been recently involved with his various sockpuppet incarnations. Etcetc 07:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Mr. Shunyata, I recommend you familiarize yourself with the way Wikipedia is supposed to work. You're being very destructive. You're deleting things that are sourced and putting things in that are unsourced. This is opposite the way it's supposed to work. If something is sourced you should generally leave it alone. If something is unsourced and someone deletes it because of that, you shouldn't put it back in unless you can give a source for it. Illegal editor 02:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:BeauBillingslea.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:54, 22 February 2008 (UTC).

This relatively new article was spun off from Jeremiah Wright's biography to hold content about last month's sermon controversy. Accordingly, the section at the Jeremiah Wright article could use reducing rather than expanding. TheslB ( talk) 19:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello,
My name is Brenton Stewart. I am an African American, doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin- Madison in Library & Information Studies. Currently I am conducting a study on the motivational factors of African American Wikipedians. I am asking for your help by participating in this short online survey which will take take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Please feel free to distribute to other Black Wikipedians. The survey will be available from Tuesday July 1, 2008 until Tuesday August 5, 2008. Thank you so much for your participation.

I have just joined the Anarchist Task Force, and I have had some problems with publishing of my Anarchist International Wikipedia page, see my sandbox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anna_Quist/Anarchist_International for the present version/proposal. This page needs improvements to reach Wiki-consensus, and this should be a somewhat collective project to avoid a "COI"-template. As I am new to editing here on Wikipedia I need help with the page, I hope for your cooperation with this improvement. As an introduction to this cooperation, feel free to read this note on my talk page:
Any contribution, matter of fact criticism, to give input and advice, or even contribute to new sections, will be helpful, and is much appreciated. Please join in the project...

Sorry, but this paper is not a reliable source. Not published, not an academic paper, and uses sources such as van Sertima which are very unreliable. And a bit naughty as it is dated 1992 and the Wendorf stuff was shown to be wrong in 1987, see [2]. dougweller ( talk) 10:01, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Nice to meet you. I see you also share a love of african history. I hope we can work together in the future. I had a question for u about a recent edit on the african empires article. I addressed it on the talk page there. I wanted to know if you would be opposed to removing the Nubian Empire from the page. It is my understanding that the "Nubian" empire is really just the Kingdom of Kush in its pre-imperial stage. Kush became an empire in the 6th century BC when it started swallowing up Kemet/Egypt (at least according to my source on the page). Is it possible to compromise on this issue? Also, I'd like your opinion on the Mali Empire article. I (and a few others) have worked really hard on it over the years. I love the Mali Empire. Maybe you could lend a hand on the Kingdom of Kush page, btw? ttyl. Scott Free ( talk) 17:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I have had to undo your recent edits to the above articles, because the material you have added is irrelevant. In the case of the blast furnace, it relates to a bloomery. In the case of the water wheel, it related to a sakia, a device for lifting water for irrigation, rather than device for extracting power from the fall of water to drive machinery. I put this down to an excess of enthusiasm, but please be careful to ensure that material you add is in fact relavant to the article, rather than that you think it would look good in it. Peterkingiron ( talk) 23:06, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
This section is for opposition. Arguments for affirmative action are throughout the article, even in the intro paragraph. I would also submit that your bit about the "mathematically challenged" is mean-spirited and inappropriate for a Wikipedia article. Please stop. Turn it around09 ( talk) 17:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, seeing some of your recent edits I am left wondering whether you are familiar with our guidelines on reliable sources? Webpages of activists, ngo's and online class notes are not reliable and should be avoided. You should go for academic sources, books published by academic presses or articles published in peer-review journals. You will find more on this at Wikipedia:Reliable sources and at Wikipedia:Verifiability. Afroghost ( talk) 04:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content that is not explicitly in a
reliable source, as you did to
Race and intelligence, is not consistent with our policy of
original research. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.--

Please make sure that the references you supply fully cover your material, otherwise your contributions look like original research, which isn't allowed. See "Sources should directly support the information as it is presented in an article and should be appropriate to the claims made: exceptional claims require high-quality sources" in WP:SOURCES. More details at WP:V and WP:RS. Best. -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 07:55, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Full Shunyata. Thanks for your recent contribution to Race and crime in the United States. While I am really happy to see fresh "faces" working on this article, I think you might have overlooked a detail regarding the article itself and what it was saying. If you read carefully, you'll see that the experts being quoted are referring to African American men in colleges or universities, not African Americans in general. I checked up on the figures for 2000 from the Justice Policy Institute report "Cellblocks or Classrooms? The Funding of Higher Education and Corrections and its Impact on African-American Men" (you can access the report here), and the figures still hold more or less true when compared with those from 1989, i.e. 791,600 African American men in prison and jail, and 603,000 in higher education for the year 2000. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks, — Aryaman (talk) 00:59, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I just read the baseless Collectivism article and would like to say that I support you view of fascism as being pro-individualism. The entire thing is so bias, that if I could get away with it I would delete it or change it all together. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.25.149.139 ( talk) 22:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention to Race and crime in the US which is a mess. There are a lot of other similar articles that need attention from people conversant with mainstream scholarship on race: Race (classification of humans), Race and intelligence, Race and crime, Race and sport, Race and genetics, Scientific racism, Criminal black man stereotype, J. Philippe Rushton, Race, Evolution and Behavior, The Bell Curve, White flight. ·Maunus·ƛ· 14:08, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Refuting the claim of a secondary source by citing unrelated secondary sources or primary sources as you did here is a violation of WP:SYNTH. If you want to include opinions contrary to Dawkins you will need to use reliable secondary sources that specificially adresses his claims. Thank you. -- Saddhiyama ( talk) 09:40, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Greetings,
My name is John-Paul and I am a student with the University of Alberta specializing in Communications and Technology.
I would like to include your Wikipedia user page in a study I am doing about how people present themselves online. I am interested in whether people see themselves in different ways, online and offline. One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Wikipedia present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?
With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.
I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.
Thank-you,

Aloha!
My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.
Until this year, Wikipedia has largely relied upon personal appeals from founder Jimmy Wales to drive our annual fundraising efforts. We seek to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.
I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.
I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me, either over the phone, by Skype, by facebook, by email, or any means you like. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project and we'll set up a good time to discuss further.
Thank you,

Hi. When you recently edited Michael Jackson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Off The Wall ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Robert Ley into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to make a note in an edit summary at the source page as well. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. A lot of editors don't realise this is the case, but if you could please follow the guideline in the future that would help Wikipedia.
