On Waterboarding. Over time I have determined that there are some really difficult problems with that article that affect the lead, but right now, the big one is the dispute. In the longer term, I think a fundamental question :"What exactly IS waterboarding?" needs to be evaluated. But, I wanted to say I think you did a good job of crafting a compromise. Im not exactly sure I completely agree with it but it seems like you did a good job overall. I have suggested something close but different. -- Blue Tie ( talk) 18:55, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. I am aware that you may be unfamiliar with our social norms and that you appear to be participating in a classroom assignment, as others appear to be. Please read WP:MEAT, WP:CANVASS, and also Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Shamulou. In the event that there has been any coordination, it would be best to explain this for the sake of transparency. I have started the investigation because this is the legitimate process for expressing concerns about possible sock puppetry. Thank you. Jehochman Talk 21:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

No, definitely stay. Your contributions are very much appreciated. Biting new contributors is a definite problem on wikipedia, especially since our policies and rules (both written and unwritten) grow ever more complex. Please let your group mates know what we'd very much like for them to stay. If anyone was hurt by sometimes abrupt comments, I'd like to extend an apology. Editing wikipedia can be quite fun. :-)
Had the Waterboarding debate not already been infested by problematic editing I don't think anyone would have minded the project. You might want to suggest to your professor that for next years assignment, groups should openly declare themselves like Group 2 did this year. Have fun, and good luck with the assignment. henrik• talk 00:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
"I'm still unclear on how this "disrupted" the discussion. It seems to me as if the only actual disruption was the accusation of meatpuppetry itself."
You hit the nail on the head there :) -- Ned Scott 01:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, I removed the expert tag, added a couple of categories, and did some basic cleanup. At the time I added the tag, the article was little more than a one-sentence stub; I see that it has been expanded considerably since then.
I admit that I am not terribly familiar with this particular case. I found a copy of the full-text opinion on the internet, but I have not read all of it yet (it is quite long). If you are familiar with this case, perhaps you could add a few more details about the judges opinions, when you have time. Thanks. -- Eastlaw ( talk) 03:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
The Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Waterboarding ArbCom case, if accepted, could be educational if you choose to participate. The top of that page has instructions, and there are arbitration clerks who assist participants, especially those who have less experience. Wikipedia's arbitration process is the most evolved online dispute resolution mechanism I know of. Jehochman Talk 20:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi there,
I had a look, and your intro seems to address the main issues quite well. A few comments and suggestions:
Keep up the good work.

Hi Lciaccio,
I'm a doctoral student at HBS interested in doing a project on Wikipedia. As an HLS Wiki-editor, I thought you might be a great person to talk to about it! Please email me on my user page (Tiona75) if you have a chance. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiona75 ( talk • contribs) 14:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Lciaccio,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in
United States legal articles to take a look at
WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".
Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

Hello Lciaccio! Thank you for your contributions. I am a
bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an
Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The
biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure
verifiability, all biographies should be based on
reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current
874 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Boston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.
Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).
If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.
If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!
You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

I have a new source concerning waterboarding which takes the position "waterboarding is not torture". Just wondering if you have anytime to join the Talk Page discussion. Your suggestions seem quite reasonable in the archives for that article. Glennconti ( talk) 18:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dahn yoga, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thought reform ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, Lciaccio. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:Conferences and Exhibitions Palace of Madrid.
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89 ( T· C) 01:25, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jerry Steinberg until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
