Hello! I agree with the deletion of the unsourced material from the Medical Slang page, however I was wondering by what criteria you are saying some blogged stuff is poorly sourced and other blogged stuff is okay. Could you please clarify either on my talk page or on the talk:medical slang page.

First of all, please don't take this revert to be support of Butz or his actions. Few would argue that Butz is not anti-semitic, but his actions and words are not by themselves proof of anti-semitism. Holocaust revisionists are almost always motivated by anti-semitism, but by itself, disagreeing with history does not classify a person as anti-semitic. johnpseudo 15:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

My thinking was that fiber optic communications already has a whole section in the article, with a prominent link to the more detailed article. No one should be looking in "See also" for a link to Fiber-optic communications. Nor does the Manual of Style support including links in See also that already appear in the article. See also is specifically for the marginally-relevant stuff, the things that are somehow related, but not so tightly related that you can work them into the text. Optical communications seems like an example of this to me. -- Srleffler 02:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

to my way of thinking africoid is something like coffeeish. coffeeish means similar to coffee but does not fit into a encyclopedia. one recent edit here. i think she is making it up as she goes along Afrocentrists have observed that Caucasoid is applied inconsistently and challenge as eurocentric and inappropriate the use of a term which contains a European geographic referrent to refer to indigenous, black Africans. Further, they argue that the term is misleading and that, as a result, it erroneously has been conflated by some to mean non-black or even white — despite the fact that so-called Caucasoid indigenous African blacks range from brown to blue-black in skin tone

You reverted my edits on Computer networking, stating "article is about computer networking, not the profession of network engineering". It appears that the article about computer networking is Computer network, which has a <<for>> which says "For the scientific and engineering discipline studying computer networks, see Computer networking". This caused me to prepend similar text to Computer Networking. Regardless, many people have been making edits on this assumption. -- Porkrind 21:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your comment to me regarding the surveys from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, I should point out that I did reference them. They were, however, deleted by those who claimed that the reference from another encyclopedia should have primacy. As you can see from my comments with Brian0918, his only argument against the references I provided were that he didn't like them...and thus he deleted them. Rrhain 20:21, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Atheism is characterized by an absence of belief in the existence of gods. This absence of belief generally comes about either through deliberate choice, or from an inherent inability to believe religious teachings which seem literally incredible. It is not a lack of belief born out of simple ignorance of religious teachings.
Some atheists go beyond a mere absence of belief in gods: they actively believe that particular gods, or all gods, do not exist. Just lacking belief in Gods is often referred to as the "weak atheist" position; whereas believing that gods do not (or cannot) exist is known as "strong atheism."
The average theologian (there are exceptions, of course) uses 'atheist' to mean a person who denies the existence of a God. Even an atheist would agree that some atheists (a small minority) would fit this definition. However, most atheists would stongly dispute the adequacy of this definition. Rather, they would hold that an atheist is a person without a belief in God.
Please do not add duplicate images to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Mitt Romney. Ward3001 22:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{
prod}}" template to the article
Subdivisions of Martinique, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi,
I accept that you won't want the link to Lifetut in the Global Warming page. But... why did you define Lifetut "obscure"? Did you have a look at it?
Bye,
Merc.
A tag has been placed on Lisa Bjergaard, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
In addition, please read WP:BLP. Such allegations that you made in the article cannot stay there unless you provide reliable sources to verify them. Corvus cornix 22:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
Got your message in my talk page. Thanks a lot...!
Merc.
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Athiesm. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. ..

Mr. Psuedo:
I recieved your message about the changes to the Project Vote Smart article, though I did not make them. I was not logged into Wikipedia at the time I recieved the message; so I presume that it was done by someone at this IP address. This ordinarily would not interest me, but I am at Project Vote Smart's Great Divide Ranch for the summer, which means it was one of our people (logically) that made the change. Your addition to the article concerning Mr. Kimball's compensation package was factually correct but misleading. Project Vote Smart's form 990 for 2006 indicates, in an attachment, that the board authorized a one-time bonus of $400,000 for Mr. Kimball. I was not around at that time, so I do not know what happened at the 2006 board meeting. Mr. Kimball's salary, as far as I am able to determine, is in the range of $117,000 per annum. If you have any further concerns, please contact me at slartibartfast at mailinator.com, from where I will be able to communicate with you via my real e-mail address (spam, you know). While I am affiliated with Project Vote Smart, I do not speak for them and all opinions I have expressed are my own, and I do not wish to tell you one way or the other whether a form of that information should be on Wikipedia.

"I reverted your edit because you gave no source for your addition"
As you can see, Yecs are a group of fundamentalists. Fundamentalists is a protestant word evolved after 1860. when the beliefs that the earth became into being by chance and nothing and a very great bit of luck obliterated beliefs of millions and millions of christians around the globe. Things like the gap theory evolved. It refers to beliefs that the bible is the unfailing word of god, in which everything is to be taken literraly and in acount of this view most texts are to be unchallenged and not prone to error like any human works. I have a very good reference, namely the bible. genesis 3:14-19. If you could think of any source less prone to error then please tell me. But i strongly believe that when 10 people in a chain hear a story then the last of them will tell you an entirely different story. This is also the case with biblical explanation. If i referr to biblical text it is as good a source, if not better than any CSE book or website. So the source is the book that made christianity happen, if thats enough source for you... Could you please reconsider deleting it. Because it is a very good piece of text, lending insight in whats realy going on with YECs. I'd realy say, if you challenge my addition, your realy challenging all the texts because i'm just adding up the odds. of the above text clearing the view to the biblical explanation which is not scoffing like the above text which calls death and decay a miracle of god instead of the scriptural curse.
3:14 The Lord God said to the serpent, 36
“Because you have done this,
cursed 37 are you above all the wild beasts
and all the living creatures of the field!
On your belly you will crawl 38
and dust you will eat 39 all the days of your life.
3:15 And I will put hostility 40 between you and the woman
and between your offspring and her offspring; 41
her offspring will attack 42 your head,
and 43 you 44 will attack her offspring’s heel.” 45
3:16 To the woman he said,
“I will greatly increase 46 your labor pains; 47
with pain you will give birth to children. You will want to control your husband, 48
but he will dominate 49 you.”
3:17 But to Adam 50 he said,
“Because you obeyed 51 your wife
and ate from the tree about which I commanded you,
‘You must not eat from it,’
cursed is the ground 52 thanks to you; 53
in painful toil you will eat 54 of it all the days of your life.
3:18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, but you will eat the grain 55 of the field.
3:19 By the sweat of your brow 56 you will eat food
until you return to the ground, 57
for out of it you were taken;
Convinced???
If you would know how to reference my addition to this text, then please help me, as it is one of my first additions to wiki. And don't give me the personal view or self proclaimed science stuff. this is as close to the account as you will ever get. If you want me to find some YECs or anothers writings then those 2 people differ in view already. So there are no real Yecs or fundamentalists. Every single human being must learn. And all children fantasize about what and how they became living and breathign and what caused all this. Even christians. And people giving their faith without holding back. fundamentalists or more defined Yecs too. If you ever want to see a more liable source then the bible. its "the source" of which all biblical teachings come.. Chris g79 ( talk) 22:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

John, there is a discussion on my talk page and on scjessey's talk page. He continues to remove material without justification. He falsely says that it has already been discussed and to "take note of the overwhelming consensus against the stuff" I posted. This is false, as Obama made the comment about his grandmother yesterday, which I simply quoted on the page. It was also false when two days ago he removed new material without suggesting any substitution.
Wikipedia's consensus policy states: "Consensus can only work among reasonable editors who make a good faith effort to work together to accurately and appropriately describe the different views on the subject." Consensus does not come from simply deleting entire subjects with which he disagrees. The policy also states that "refusal to consider other viewpoints in good faith, is not justified under Wikipedia's consensus practice." An editor who removes material violates the consensus policy by doing so without suggesting either a revision or offering an explanation why the material is not relevant to the article.

Your userboxes have shown remarkable self-contradiction. You are pro-choice, yet you believe the death penalty should never be used? I assure you, good sir, that abortion is the death penalty to unborn fetuses. Also, one cannot be atheist and agnostic at the same time. If you are atheist, then you believe there is no deity and therefore you cannot think there is a god "somewhere out there" like the agnostics do.

For the most part, I understand why you believed it was appropriate to remove the external link to BiobasedNews.com from the pages I posted them on, but I only posted them there because I thought they were relevant in the context. What I probably should have done was to follow the link with an explanation of what the site is, which is definitely not obvious just from the site's name. BiobasedNews.com is a database for business-related information on biofuels, new crops, biobased products, and industrial biotechnology in the United States. It has been, in the past, a very helpful resource for students and small business start-ups, providing press releases from companies involved in the field, government sources, and media outlets.
If it is properly labeled, so that users know what it is, I feel like it would be a great addition to pages such as biofuels, biomass, bioenergy, industrial biotechnology, etc.
Let me know what you think about this.

As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the spaceflight-related WikiProjects, I have made some changes to the list of members of WikiProject Human spaceflight. If you still consider yourself to be an active editor in this project, I would be grateful if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the critical mass of editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance!

Hello there! As you may or may not be aware, a recent discussion on the future of the Space-related WikiProjects has concluded, leading to the abolition of WP:SPACE and leading to a major reorganisation of WP:SPACEFLIGHT. It would be much appreciated if you would like to participate in the various ongoing discussions at the reorganisation page and the WikiProject Spaceflight talk page. If you are a member of one of WP:SPACEFLIGHT's child projects but not WP:SPACEFLIGHT itself, it would also be very useful if you could please add your name to the member list here. Many thanks!

-- Kumioko ( talk) 20:19, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
You undid my deletion of this section and this is the reasoning behind the deletion:
“In 2006, Project Vote Smart's Board unanimously voted founder and president Richard Kimball a bonus of $471,994 (33% of the Project Votes Smart's annual budget in 2006), as well as a 300% increase in salary.”
* Sources do not say anything about a “unanimous vote” * 33% is not accurate or properly sourced * Total compensation to Richard Kimball during the fiscal year, according to the 990 sourced was $471,994. Only $400,000 of this was bonus, not all of it. The salary was $71,994, which is not a 300% increase in salary. A statement in the Missoula Independent article suggests his previous salary was $50,000.
“This decision was met with some controversy among former and current employees when the 990 tax form was posted on the organization's facebook page.”
* “The [facebook] post caused a furor among Vote Smart alum [on a blog]” is the only mention of this any of the sources. This does not suggest “current employees.” Also, this is in reference to a personal blog and social media account violating Wikipedia’s Verifiability Policy: “self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources.”
"The explanation provided for the bonus and salary increase was "This bonus was paid to compensate Richard Kimball for being the key employee and leading the organization for more than 10 years at a very low average salary between $25,000 and $35,000…Once the bonus was paid, Richard Kimball's annual salary was raised to reflect the amount of effort being expended to run a national organization with a $1.5 million budget. His new salary is $114,314 per year."”
* The information about his current salary is outdated and is untrue based on federal tax statements. This edited and selective explanation does not fully represent the whole story, and excludes:“Mr. Kimball received no compensation for his first 5 years of work with the Project. During that time, he also sold his home and his retirement funds and donated them to the Project…Two years ago [2005], the Project’s Board awarded Mr. Kimball a one-time bonus so that he could qualify for a housing loan. His years of no salary and minimal salary made it impossible for him to qualify for a loan.” Cited. * Independent studies in Roll Call magazine suggest that Kimball's compensation was well below that of other presidents of similar organizations http://www.rollcall.com/issues/56_54/-201158-1.html
Lastly,
The Missoula Independent, an alternative weekly, is the only citation here. There is no reason to point out that this was covered by one newspaper, unless to note it was covered by only one newspaper. GENERAL POINTS OF CONTENTION Factually inaccurate and not representative of a NPOV policy: “all articles must adhere to the Neutral point of view policy (NPOV), fairly representing all majority and significant-minority viewpoints published by reliable sources, in rough proportion to the prominence of each view. Tiny-minority views need not be included, except in articles devoted to them.” Balance
This section gives undue weight to a fringe issue, no mention of tens of thousands of positive feedback from much more reputable sources. ( Kft167 ( talk) 20:47, 23 June 2011 (UTC))

Hi Johnpseudo,
I noticed that you put in a re-direct from Peri-Urban Agriculture to Urban Agriculture a few years ago. I am hoping to develop the topic of peri-urban agriculture but am first wondering what your reasoning was for the re-direct or if you have any other advice based on your experience contributing to articles about agriculture. I don't want to mess anything up, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot to add to the subject. Thanks! Madfs ( talk) 20:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

First of all, please don't take this revert to be support of Butz or his actions. Few would argue that Butz is not anti-semitic, but his actions and words are not by themselves proof of anti-semitism. Holocaust revisionists are almost always motivated by anti-semitism, but by itself, disagreeing with history does not classify a person as anti-semitic. johnpseudo 15:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

My thinking was that fiber optic communications already has a whole section in the article, with a prominent link to the more detailed article. No one should be looking in "See also" for a link to Fiber-optic communications. Nor does the Manual of Style support including links in See also that already appear in the article. See also is specifically for the marginally-relevant stuff, the things that are somehow related, but not so tightly related that you can work them into the text. Optical communications seems like an example of this to me. -- Srleffler 02:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

to my way of thinking africoid is something like coffeeish. coffeeish means similar to coffee but does not fit into a encyclopedia. one recent edit here. i think she is making it up as she goes along Afrocentrists have observed that Caucasoid is applied inconsistently and challenge as eurocentric and inappropriate the use of a term which contains a European geographic referrent to refer to indigenous, black Africans. Further, they argue that the term is misleading and that, as a result, it erroneously has been conflated by some to mean non-black or even white — despite the fact that so-called Caucasoid indigenous African blacks range from brown to blue-black in skin tone

You reverted my edits on Computer networking, stating "article is about computer networking, not the profession of network engineering". It appears that the article about computer networking is Computer network, which has a <<for>> which says "For the scientific and engineering discipline studying computer networks, see Computer networking". This caused me to prepend similar text to Computer Networking. Regardless, many people have been making edits on this assumption. -- Porkrind 21:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your comment to me regarding the surveys from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, I should point out that I did reference them. They were, however, deleted by those who claimed that the reference from another encyclopedia should have primacy.

Atheism is characterized by an absence of belief in the existence of gods. This absence of belief generally comes about either through deliberate choice, or from an inherent inability to believe religious teachings which seem literally incredible. It is not a lack of belief born out of simple ignorance of religious teachings.
Some atheists go beyond a mere absence of belief in gods: they actively believe that particular gods, or all gods, do not exist. Just lacking belief in Gods is often referred to as the "weak atheist" position; whereas believing that gods do not (or cannot) exist is known as "strong atheism."
The average theologian (there are exceptions, of course) uses 'atheist' to mean a person who denies the existence of a God. Even an atheist would agree that some atheists (a small minority) would fit this definition. However, most atheists would stongly dispute the adequacy of this definition. Rather, they would hold that an atheist is a person without a belief in God.

proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

A tag has been placed on Lisa Bjergaard, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
In addition, please read WP:BLP. Such allegations that you made in the article cannot stay there unless you provide reliable sources to verify them. Corvus cornix 22:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Athiesm. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. ..

Mr. Psuedo:
I recieved your message about the changes to the Project Vote Smart article, though I did not make them. I was not logged into Wikipedia at the time I recieved the message; so I presume that it was done by someone at this IP address. This ordinarily would not interest me, but I am at Project Vote Smart's Great Divide Ranch for the summer, which means it was one of our people (logically) that made the change. Your addition to the article concerning Mr. Kimball's compensation package was factually correct but misleading. Project Vote Smart's form 990 for 2006 indicates, in an attachment, that the board authorized a one-time bonus of $400,000 for Mr. Kimball. I was not around at that time, so I do not know what happened at the 2006 board meeting. Mr. Kimball's salary, as far as I am able to determine, is in the range of $117,000 per annum. If you have any further concerns, please contact me at slartibartfast at mailinator.com, from where I will be able to communicate with you via my real e-mail address (spam, you know). While I am affiliated with Project Vote Smart, I do not speak for them and all opinions I have expressed are my own, and I do not wish to tell you one way or the other whether a form of that information should be on Wikipedia.

"I reverted your edit because you gave no source for your addition"
As you can see, Yecs are a group of fundamentalists. Fundamentalists is a protestant word evolved after 1860. when the beliefs that the earth became into being by chance and nothing and a very great bit of luck obliterated beliefs of millions and millions of christians around the globe. Things like the gap theory evolved. It refers to beliefs that the bible is the unfailing word of god, in which everything is to be taken literraly and in acount of this view most texts are to be unchallenged and not prone to error like any human works. I have a very good reference, namely the bible. genesis 3:14-19. If you could think of any source less prone to error then please tell me. But i strongly believe that when 10 people in a chain hear a story then the last of them will tell you an entirely different story. This is also the case with biblical explanation. If i referr to biblical text it is as good a source, if not better than any CSE book or website. So the source is the book that made christianity happen, if thats enough source for you... Could you please reconsider deleting it. Because it is a very good piece of text, lending insight in whats realy going on with YECs. I'd realy say, if you challenge my addition, your realy challenging all the texts because i'm just adding up the odds. of the above text clearing the view to the biblical explanation which is not scoffing like the above text which calls death and decay a miracle of god instead of the scriptural curse.
3:14 The Lord God said to the serpent, 36
“Because you have done this,
cursed 37 are you above all the wild beasts
and all the living creatures of the field!
On your belly you will crawl 38
and dust you will eat 39 all the days of your life.
3:15 And I will put hostility 40 between you and the woman
and between your offspring and her offspring; 41
her offspring will attack 42 your head,
and 43 you 44 will attack her offspring’s heel.” 45
3:16 To the woman he said,
“I will greatly increase 46 your labor pains; 47
with pain you will give birth to children. You will want to control your husband, 48
but he will dominate 49 you.”
3:17 But to Adam 50 he said,
“Because you obeyed 51 your wife
and ate from the tree about which I commanded you,
‘You must not eat from it,’
cursed is the ground 52 thanks to you; 53
in painful toil you will eat 54 of it all the days of your life.
3:18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, but you will eat the grain 55 of the field.
3:19 By the sweat of your brow 56 you will eat food
until you return to the ground, 57

If you would know how to reference my addition to this text, then please help me, as it is one of my first additions to wiki. And don't give me the personal view or self proclaimed science stuff. this is as close to the account as you will ever get. If you want me to find some YECs or anothers writings then those 2 people differ in view already. So there are no real Yecs or fundamentalists. Every single human being must learn. And all children fantasize about what and how they became living and breathign and what caused all this. Even christians. And people giving their faith without holding back. fundamentalists or more defined Yecs too. If you ever want to see a more liable source then the bible. its "the source" of which all biblical teachings come.. Chris g79 ( talk) 22:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
I believe you made your views very clearly. Jibber and jabber. since that jibber and jabber is accountable information which can be traced to a reliable source. Which clearly you fail to see.

You added an "out-of-date template" to Liberty Dollar. Could you post a note on the talk page explaining how it needs to be updated?

I've moved the article from Energy policy of the United States to Energy policy in the United States. If you disagree, let me know, and if consensus is against me, I'll move it back myself. Thanks!

John, there is a discussion on my talk page and on scjessey's talk page. He continues to remove material without justification. He falsely says that it has already been discussed and to "take note of the overwhelming consensus against the stuff" I posted. This is false, as Obama made the comment about his grandmother yesterday, which I simply quoted on the page. It was also false when two days ago he removed new material without suggesting any substitution.
Wikipedia's consensus policy states: "Consensus can only work among reasonable editors who make a good faith effort to work together to accurately and appropriately describe the different views on the subject." Consensus does not come from simply deleting entire subjects with which he disagrees. The policy also states that "refusal to consider other viewpoints in good faith, is not justified under Wikipedia's consensus practice." An editor who removes material violates the consensus policy by doing so without suggesting either a revision or offering an explanation why the material is not relevant to the article.

Your userboxes have shown remarkable self-contradiction. You are pro-choice, yet you believe the death penalty should never be used? I assure you, good sir, that abortion is the death penalty to unborn fetuses. Also, one cannot be atheist and agnostic at the same time. If you are atheist, then you believe there is no deity and therefore you cannot think there is a god "somewhere out there" like the agnostics do.

For the most part, I understand why you believed it was appropriate to remove the external link to BiobasedNews.com from the pages I posted them on, but I only posted them there because I thought they were relevant in the context. What I probably should have done was to follow the link with an explanation of what the site is, which is definitely not obvious just from the site's name. BiobasedNews.com is a database for business-related information on biofuels, new crops, biobased products, and industrial biotechnology in the United States. It has been, in the past, a very helpful resource for students and small business start-ups, providing press releases from companies involved in the field, government sources, and media outlets.
If it is properly labeled, so that users know what it is, I feel like it would be a great addition to pages such as biofuels, biomass, bioenergy, industrial biotechnology, etc.
Let me know what you think about this.

Hi. My name is Mike Lyons and I am a doctoral student at Indiana University. I am conducting research on the writing and editing of high traffic “current events” articles on Wikipedia.

I was hoping you would agree to fill out a brief survey about your experience. This study aims to help expand our thinking about collaborative knowledge production.

-- Kumioko ( talk) 20:19, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
You undid my deletion of this section and this is the reasoning behind the deletion:
“In 2006, Project Vote Smart's Board unanimously voted founder and president Richard Kimball a bonus of $471,994 (33% of the Project Votes Smart's annual budget in 2006), as well as a 300% increase in salary.”
* Sources do not say anything about a “unanimous vote” * 33% is not accurate or properly sourced * Total compensation to Richard Kimball during the fiscal year, according to the 990 sourced was $471,994. Only $400,000 of this was bonus, not all of it. The salary was $71,994, which is not a 300% increase in salary. A statement in the Missoula Independent article suggests his previous salary was $50,000.
“This decision was met with some controversy among former and current employees when the 990 tax form was posted on the organization's facebook page.”
* “The [facebook] post caused a furor among Vote Smart alum [on a blog]” is the only mention of this any of the sources. This does not suggest “current employees.” Also, this is in reference to a personal blog and social media account violating Wikipedia’s Verifiability Policy: “self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources.”
"The explanation provided for the bonus and salary increase was "This bonus was paid to compensate Richard Kimball for being the key employee and leading the organization for more than 10 years at a very low average salary between $25,000 and $35,000…Once the bonus was paid, Richard Kimball's annual salary was raised to reflect the amount of effort being expended to run a national organization with a $1.5 million budget. His new salary is $114,314 per year."”
* The information about his current salary is outdated and is untrue based on federal tax statements. This edited and selective explanation does not fully represent the whole story, and excludes:“Mr. Kimball received no compensation for his first 5 years of work with the Project. During that time, he also sold his home and his retirement funds and donated them to the Project…Two years ago [2005], the Project’s Board awarded Mr. Kimball a one-time bonus so that he could qualify for a housing loan. His years of no salary and minimal salary made it impossible for him to qualify for a loan.” Cited. * Independent studies in Roll Call magazine suggest that Kimball's compensation was well below that of other presidents of similar organizations http://www.rollcall.com/issues/56_54/-201158-1.html
Lastly,
The Missoula Independent, an alternative weekly, is the only citation here. There is no reason to point out that this was covered by one newspaper, unless to note it was covered by only one newspaper. GENERAL POINTS OF CONTENTION Factually inaccurate and not representative of a NPOV policy: “all articles must adhere to the Neutral point of view policy (NPOV), fairly representing all majority and significant-minority viewpoints published by reliable sources, in rough proportion to the prominence of each view. Tiny-minority views need not be included, except in articles devoted to them.” Balance
This section gives undue weight to a fringe issue, no mention of tens of thousands of positive feedback from much more reputable sources. ( Kft167 ( talk) 20:47, 23 June 2011 (UTC))
