User:Soxmanfriday == Dean Barnett?

I just read the article instead of only the diffs, and saw that Dean Barnett is referred to as Hugh Hewitt's "Man Friday", and that he runs "Soxblog". Think it's him, or just a fan?-- SarekOfVulcan 13:13, 25 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Bellevue?

I was wondering why you changed all of the edits I made to the Bellevue page. I felt after being around for 100 years, the page focused on a few unfortunate events and not on the ministry of the church. I think by posting the positive things and more about the church shows the blessings that Bellevue has been able to share with others for over a century. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gwdorris ( talkcontribs).

You removed several paragraphs of information that were verifiable in reliable sources and replaced them with non-neutral information that is not verifiable in reliable sources. While I might agree that the article gives a bit too much weight to the recent events, the events certainly warrant mention in the article. In any event, the article must remain neutral and verifiable in reliable sources. Thanks. · jersyko talk 13:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC) reply


Well I think that the part on controversy could be significantly shortened and much of the information came from the church website and material which is a verifiable source. It can be "neutral" and still promote positive attributes about the church because after 100 years the does not represent the church well. The history should be lengthened to tell about the tradition of the Love Offering which was is a big deal with lots of meaning to the church. There is nothing about communit and mission impacts. After looking at other prominant church articles, Bellevue's is rather pathetic and should be edited to include more history and the vastness of the ministries. Also, the Passion Play and Singing Christmas Tree should be mention, as they draw large crowds of 40,000+ every year. So I think this article needs major changes.

Thanks for uploading Image:Doug_martsch.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{ di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

Re Sufjan Stevens

I think your your work on the Sufjan Stevens article has much improved it's readibility. I don't have to time to lean how to edit, but if you are inclined, these facts would add to the article's accuracy; both may be easily verified.

"Maple River" as a clue to the possibility that Sufjan's next "state" album will be about Minnesota: There are a number of Maple Rivers in the U.S., and one of them, in the Northwest lower pennisula of Michigan, runs within or near the county where Sufjan lived for many years as a child and young adult- Emmet County, Michigan. This is the Maple River of the song title.

The reference to Sufjan reading a book about Robert Moses: As it reads now, the statement relates only to the fact that both Sufjan and Moses live/lived in New York City. For many decades, Robert Moses controlled urban development and renewal in NYC, and was responsible for planning and building the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the subject of the instrumental piece Sufjan has written for performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in November, '07.

Public Ministry

Tony Alamo is a minister of the Bible and has many friends in the Christian community. Churches around the world have literally started churches under Tony Alamo's name. To delete a section in Tony Alamo's article entitled "Public Ministry" certainly would not fall under the catagory of NPOV. He is a minister and many have testified regarding this. he has had letters from reputable christian based colleges commending his literature within the last five years. The "Dubious source" and weasel words" as you (Jersyko) have put it are very wrong. I will be forced to bring this to arbitration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlthe5th ( talkcontribs) 20:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Jerseyko Is deleting small section of a Christian Minister's public ministry section newly created by me, Tlthe5th. The minister's name is Tony Alamo and has had controversy surrounding him but to be nuetral i believe it should be said that Tony is considered a Christian minister by many including very well known and established Christian Universities. Baylor University in Texas for instance. Churches around the world have been founded and named after Tony Alamo because of the profound effect his literature has had.

there was a web site set up listing some testimonies of individuals who have found God (the God of the Bible) through Tony's literature and Jersyko deleted them citing "dubious sources" and "weasel words". Yet other web sites which are alleging slander against Mr Alamo are allowed to stay up. Is this NPOV? Matter of fact one of the web sites which is slandering Mr. Alamo was shut down by the host due to possible legal retribution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlthe5th ( talkcontribs) 20:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Not a Sock Puppet Account

Thanks for your friendly reminder about sock puppetry, that is not what is going on in that case. I do not have more than one account on Wikipedia. Rather, as a Rhodes alum (as are you) and a Rhodes staff member, I was asked to help resolve the COI tag on the Rhodes page. While I've used Wikipedia as a information resource for years, I've never edited an article. And I'm obviously still new to, and ignorant of, many of the various Wikipedia policies, including COI, which I now understand and appreciate.

As a fellow Rhodes alum, I'm sure you would like to help remove the COI cloud over the Rhodes College page. Do you have any suggestions for how this page can be quickly reviewed by an impartial observer so that COI tag can be legitimately removed?

The page is not a lengthy one, so it may be easier to review than others that require a more in-depth investigation.

FL Main page proposal

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination this year. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started ( 2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual main page will resemble either an excerpted list format or an abbreviated text format. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:07, 15 October 2007 (UTC) reply


Official photos

I argued that official photos carry a POV incompatible with the Wikipedia philosophy and you asked me to elaborate.

Photographs tell a story; official photographs, whether distributed by government organizations or political campaigns have undergone careful crafting to project a controlled image for an ideological purpose. While no photograph (or statement for that matter) realizes perfect neutrality (because, even with attestible assertions, willful inclusion and exclusion shape a message), an official photograph in a Wikipedia biography counts as the visual analog of a subject writing his or her own biography.

I have attempted to offer photographs I took at a recent event meant to capture Edwards as he seemed on that day, attempting neither to vaunt him nor to paint him in an unflattering light. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have neither decided to vote for him or not, so I avow that I do in fact portray him from a neutral viewpoint. Dvfinnh 03:34, 16 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Thanks, Jersyko! I was interested in post-Reconstruction political history, specifically the divide within the Republican Party (Stalwarts vs. Half-Breeds). Per chance, I checked out Kenneth D. Ackerman's Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield from my local library. It was a captivating work about the 1880 Republican National Convention, the internal conflict within the Republican Party, and the events that led to Garfield's assassination.

The Democratic Party (also known as The Democrat Party)

Response to Primalchaos and Jersyko concerning use of the phrase "also known as The Democrat Party". I understand what you are saying, but is WIKI about accuracy or about political correctness? Regardless of the positive or negative connotation some choose to place on the noun 'Democrat' or the adjective 'Democratic', the issue here is not one of spin. The specific issue is whether the 'subject' of the Wiki article, the American political party commonly known as 'The Democratic Party' is 'also known as' -- or known by -- other words. And also whether those words are ones commonly applied to the subject, and commonly understood to mean the subject. If the answer is yes, then incorporating the words that the subject is 'also known as' is a valid and appropriate usage, and that includes whether or not one chooses to interpret those 'other words' in positive or negative light. I will also post this message on the article's discussion page. Fungible 09:40, 05 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Oh, boy. You know, I was just thinking the other day that it seemed like a long time since this one had come up.

I've checked out the posts, and it's clear from the style that this account is a sock of User:Reneec. So the next step should absolutely be an SSP report, not dispute resolution. I doubt a checkuser is even possible at this point (those logs don't hang around all that long) but I really don't think one would be needed anyway.

I can appreciate Archtransit's desire for harmonious editing, but given that this is pretty clearly Reneec, and considering the threats Reneec made, I don't think there's much of a chance for that. Further, unless there are any new arguments to be made that justify revisiting the matter (MiSoDS's comments at RFPP and some quick google web and news searches for Saks's name tell me there isn't), there's really no point in dragging a long-settled issue into dispute resolution.

Obama and Iran

Thank you for the clarity. I assure you that the unwieldy (undue weight) nature of my entry was unintended. Also, I am Canadian and far left (whatever that means), so I can also assure you that I am not working for the Hillary Campaign; my only desire was to help complete the picture. Actually, I rather wondered if Obama's criticism of another candidate's position had any place amongst the " Political positions of Barack Obama" at all. It seemed more like an embedded criticism of Clinton than an example from his platform. Still, I shy from contesting the work of others and so simply added to it. - horseytown 2008-02-18 04:30 UTC

Bellevue?

I was wondering why you changed all of the edits I made to the Bellevue page. I felt after being around for 100 years, the page focused on a few unfortunate events and not on the ministry of the church. I think by posting the positive things and more about the church shows the blessings that Bellevue has been able to share with others for over a century. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gwdorris ( talkcontribs).

You removed several paragraphs of information that were verifiable in reliable sources and replaced them with non-neutral information that is not verifiable in reliable sources. While I might agree that the article gives a bit too much weight to the recent events, the events certainly warrant mention in the article. In any event, the article must remain neutral and verifiable in reliable sources. Thanks. · jersyko talk 13:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC) reply


Well I think that the part on controversy could be significantly shortened and much of the information came from the church website and material which is a verifiable source. It can be "neutral" and still promote positive attributes about the church because after 100 years the does not represent the church well. The history should be lengthened to tell about the tradition of the Love Offering which was is a big deal with lots of meaning to the church. There is nothing about communit and mission impacts. After looking at other prominant church articles, Bellevue's is rather pathetic and should be edited to include more history and the vastness of the ministries. Also, the Passion Play and Singing Christmas Tree should be mention, as they draw large crowds of 40,000+ every year. So I think this article needs major changes.

Re Sufjan Stevens

I think your your work on the Sufjan Stevens article has much improved it's readibility. I don't have to time to lean how to edit, but if you are inclined, these facts would add to the article's accuracy; both may be easily verified.

"Maple River" as a clue to the possibility that Sufjan's next "state" album will be about Minnesota: There are a number of Maple Rivers in the U.S., and one of them, in the Northwest lower pennisula of Michigan, runs within or near the county where Sufjan lived for many years as a child and young adult- Emmet County, Michigan. This is the Maple River of the song title.

The reference to Sufjan reading a book about Robert Moses: As it reads now, the statement relates only to the fact that both Sufjan and Moses live/lived in New York City. For many decades, Robert Moses controlled urban development and renewal in NYC, and was responsible for planning and building the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the subject of the instrumental piece Sufjan has written for performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in November, '07.

Public Ministry

Tony Alamo is a minister of the Bible and has many friends in the Christian community. Churches around the world have literally started churches under Tony Alamo's name. To delete a section in Tony Alamo's article entitled "Public Ministry" certainly would not fall under the catagory of NPOV. He is a minister and many have testified regarding this. he has had letters from reputable christian based colleges commending his literature within the last five years. The "Dubious source" and weasel words" as you (Jersyko) have put it are very wrong. I will be forced to bring this to arbitration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlthe5th ( talkcontribs) 20:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Jerseyko Is deleting small section of a Christian Minister's public ministry section newly created by me, Tlthe5th. The minister's name is Tony Alamo and has had controversy surrounding him but to be nuetral i believe it should be said that Tony is considered a Christian minister by many including very well known and established Christian Universities. Baylor University in Texas for instance. Churches around the world have been founded and named after Tony Alamo because of the profound effect his literature has had.

there was a web site set up listing some testimonies of individuals who have found God (the God of the Bible) through Tony's literature and Jersyko deleted them citing "dubious sources" and "weasel words". Yet other web sites which are alleging slander against Mr Alamo are allowed to stay up. Is this NPOV?

Not a Sock Puppet Account

Thanks for your friendly reminder about sock puppetry, that is not what is going on in that case. I do not have more than one account on Wikipedia. Rather, as a Rhodes alum (as are you) and a Rhodes staff member, I was asked to help resolve the COI tag on the Rhodes page. While I've used Wikipedia as a information resource for years, I've never edited an article. And I'm obviously still new to, and ignorant of, many of the various Wikipedia policies, including COI, which I now understand and appreciate.

As a fellow Rhodes alum, I'm sure you would like to help remove the COI cloud over the Rhodes College page. Do you have any suggestions for how this page can be quickly reviewed by an impartial observer so that COI tag can be legitimately removed?

The page is not a lengthy one, so it may be easier to review than others that require a more in-depth investigation.

FL Main page proposal

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination this year. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started ( 2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual main page will resemble either an excerpted list format or an abbreviated text format. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:07, 15 October 2007 (UTC) reply


Official photos

I argued that official photos carry a POV incompatible with the Wikipedia philosophy and you asked me to elaborate.

Photographs tell a story; official photographs, whether distributed by government organizations or political campaigns have undergone careful crafting to project a controlled image for an ideological purpose. While no photograph (or statement for that matter) realizes perfect neutrality (because, even with attestible assertions, willful inclusion and exclusion shape a message), an official photograph in a Wikipedia biography counts as the visual analog of a subject writing his or her own biography.

I have attempted to offer photographs I took at a recent event meant to capture Edwards as he seemed on that day, attempting neither to vaunt him nor to paint him in an unflattering light. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have neither decided to vote for him or not, so I avow that I do in fact portray him from a neutral viewpoint. Dvfinnh 03:34, 16 October 2007 (UTC) reply

It was a captivating work about the 1880 Republican National Convention, the internal conflict within the Republican Party, and the events that led to Garfield's assassination.

The Democratic Party (also known as The Democrat Party)

Response to Primalchaos and Jersyko concerning use of the phrase "also known as The Democrat Party". I understand what you are saying, but is WIKI about accuracy or about political correctness? Regardless of the positive or negative connotation some choose to place on the noun 'Democrat' or the adjective 'Democratic', the issue here is not one of spin. The specific issue is whether the 'subject' of the Wiki article, the American political party commonly known as 'The Democratic Party' is 'also known as' -- or known by -- other words. And also whether those words are ones commonly applied to the subject, and commonly understood to mean the subject. If the answer is yes, then incorporating the words that the subject is 'also known as' is a valid and appropriate usage, and that includes whether or not one chooses to interpret those 'other words' in positive or negative light. I will also post this message on the article's discussion page. Fungible 09:40, 05 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Oh, boy. You know, I was just thinking the other day that it seemed like a long time since this one had come up.

I've checked out the posts, and it's clear from the style that this account is a sock of User:Reneec. So the next step should absolutely be an SSP report, not dispute resolution. I doubt a checkuser is even possible at this point (those logs don't hang around all that long) but I really don't think one would be needed anyway.

I can appreciate Archtransit's desire for harmonious editing, but given that this is pretty clearly Reneec, and considering the threats Reneec made, I don't think there's much of a chance for that. Further, unless there are any new arguments to be made that justify revisiting the matter (MiSoDS's comments at RFPP and some quick google web and news searches for Saks's name tell me there isn't), there's really no point in dragging a long-settled issue into dispute resolution. This isn't a dispute between two editors, or two groups of editors. This is one very tendentious editor trying to act against consensus. -- Vary | Talk 18:48, 3 February 2008 (UTC) reply

Heh, sure. Glad that finally got sorted out. -- Vary | Talk 05:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC) reply

MPD-W

I should have said "yet to be determined by me". I should also say that I doubt I will make such determination. (I have no desire to join the Memphis Police Department-Wikipedia Police Station or the prosecutor's office of Memphis.) You have page protected the Memphis talk page so a valid discusssion is impossible. These are just observations and not a request for you to do something.

A valid discussion already took place and consensus was reached. · jersyko talk 22:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC) reply

AfD nomination of David "None of the Above" Gatchell

I have nominated David "None of the Above" Gatchell, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David "None of the Above" Gatchell. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Obama and Iran

Thank you for the clarity. I assure you that the unwieldy (undue weight) nature of my entry was unintended. Also, I am Canadian and far left (whatever that means), so I can also assure you that I am not working for the Hillary Campaign; my only desire was to help complete the picture. Actually, I rather wondered if Obama's criticism of another candidate's position had any place amongst the " Political positions of Barack Obama" at all. It seemed more like an embedded criticism of Clinton than an example from his platform. Still, I shy from contesting the work of others and so simply added to it. - horseytown 2008-02-18 04:30 UTC
