Hi OccamzRazor, the article Paleolithic style diet has been included in the category low-carb diet. I disagree with this move (See the discussion page). Your opinion on this matter would be of great interest. Thank you. -- Phenylalanine ( talk) 21:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
this regards the procedural decline of PROD here
comment directed to User:Fg2 ... this is an FYI copy of material posted at User talk:Fg2
I will not be reversing or otherwise changing the impact of your editing with regard to this article; I just wanted to provide context for the recent edits. I removed the PROD notice because it did not contain a reason. I was contacted by the person who placed the original PROD and we were working out the appropriate usage of PROD in this case in that I was assisting the editor to insert a reason for the PROD. My removal of the PROD was procedural and I don't think it is outside acceptable behavior to allow re-PRODding after a procedural decline. It is unfortunate that you took the step you did - not inappropriate based on the letter of the policy, but unfortunate in that I was trying to help an editor to best use this procedure. I do understand that an addition to the edit summary that specifically indicated that rePRODding would be acceptable under the circumstances would be OK would have been the right course for me to take.

Why have you moved the epilepsy treatment to a Ketogenic diet (epilepsy)? The main article for any subject should focus on the main topic. A quick Google search will confirm this. The ketogenic diet has been a treatment for epilepsy for nearly 90 years and continues to be an important therapy for difficult epilepsy. Please move the article back, and create Ketogenic diet (fad), or whatever, for the alternatives. Regards, Colin° Talk 23:39, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
I echo Colin's sentiment about your recent actions. Are you are aware, there are multiple ketogenic diets. The old article tried to cover all of them. Now you have left a small stub that does not do justice to the subject and is inferior to the content you moved.
Could I ask you to undo the page move, or at least make more than just a nominal attempt at returning the relevant content to ketogenic diet? In general, complicated moves like this should be managed with a formal request for page move (unless you are genuinely convinced that the move will be uncontroversial). Thank you. JFW | T@lk 14:25, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
OccamzRazor, please stop what you are doing and discuss. The way to edit wikipedia articles is not to demolish existing text, move the waste to a side article and then proceed, over a protracted period, to build an alternative. The original article was a #2 Google hit, was OK but not brilliant, but is now completely worthless. I weep. Colin° Talk 23:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I note Colin's requests above and my comments. I'm surprised you are not addressing Colin's concerns. Unless you can urgently respond to these comments I am in a mind to make the changes he has requested. JFW | T@lk 23:39, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry for only responding now to your above reply. To be frank, the above messages were only left as a matter of courtesy. Normally, controversial moves not performed through WP:RM can be undone by any admin without getting permission from the person who performed the move. The response to these queries should not take a full hour to compose, because it is really a very simple issue as demonstrated by Colin's evidence.
This said, I appreciate your hard work on many diet-related articles, and was wondering if you had any comments on the obesity page. JFW | T@lk 20:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi OccamzRazor, I just saw that you deleted the research indicating a high mortality from coronary heart disease in the Inuit. For what reason? Thanks! -- Phenylalanine ( talk) 01:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
(1) I think this stems from a misunderstanding. Ströhle, Wolters and Hahn did not do the original research, they just mentioned it to prove a point in their letter to the editor (see Paleolithic-style diet). So they don't really have to be indicated in the "Zero-carb diet" article. The relevant sources are below:

(2) Information related to this dietary approach can be found in the articles " Inuit" and " Vilhjalmur Stefansson".

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Arbonne International, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{

There absolutely is an ongoing debate about raw milk. Pasteurization has been proven to kill off beneficial bacteria and other nutrients in the milk. The worry about pathogens is only in mass produced milk with animals housed in filthy conditions. Healthy, happy cows and goats that are allowed pasture do NOT produce unsafe milk. Pasteurization also kills beneficial nutrients in eggs and honey.
Even if you are correct that the debate was resolved 40 years ago, that does not mean pasteurization is beneficial. 40 years ago, margarine was touted as a healthy alternative to butter. 20 years ago, during the low fat fad, trans fats were welcomed as a way to replace saturated fat. Your handle being a twist on Occam's Razor, I am surprised that you would support a complicated thing over a simple, more natural one. 74.160.5.53 ( talk) 22:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

OccamzRazor,
There is no need for Ketogenic diet (generic). All medical use and research can be covered by Ketogenic diet but you must bear in mind that to date the only clinically approved use is as a treatment for epilepsy. The other stuff is at a very, very early research stage. It doesn't deserve an article on its own, and we don't create "XXX (generic)" articles anyway. I have suggested this new article be merged. I do intend to expand the currently limited discussion of "other uses and research" on the ketogenic diet page, and I've got the sources to do so. Colin° Talk 08:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I dispute your removal of several category tags from the TCI article. Whilst the company is indeed defunct, it has strong links with the economic history of Alabama (especially Birmingham), was one of the first listings on the Dow Jones Average and was one of the most important steel manufacturing companies in the US. It therefore deserves a place on those respective listing pages. Considering that other defunct companies are categorized according to their history, I will revert your changes unless you have any strong objections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grarap ( talk • contribs) 18:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
My point was that you weren't editing in accordance with WP policies. You were a little too bold, attempting to reform the categories system without consulting other users. That's just not on in a system where, like it or not, people take ownership of work they have put effort into and insist on being part of the democratic process. Aside from that, I'm glad to see that you're assisting in tidying up the TCI article for GA review. I have no doubt that we'll pass. Just a tip though - always format references to websites like this: [1] Thanks for your edits anyhow! grarap ( talk) 09:17, 23 May 2008 (UTC)grarap
"
by the look of your contribs, u appear to be "companies buff".
1. maybe u've seen it for other firms, but URS's intro is basically a rip-off of their official website. user 98.199.114.13 copied-and-pasted 3 paragraphs from URS's history page. i can let him/her know that that's plagiarism and warn him/her about breaking wiki rules, but if u've seen this more often then u might know how to do it more politely. it could be a current employee boasting about the firm.
2. also, u revised an entry under M&A's, but its out of order. normally, entries are in chronological order (older to newer), just as in the history section. the flip-flop is easy, but there's also the issue of repetition and omission. the 1999 merger is already mentioned in the history section, along with the 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 acquisitions. perhaps all m&a's should be moved to M&A and the duplicate entry removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivansevil ( talk • contribs) 17:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused by the categorization changes you've made to this article. While the corporate officers were in Philadelphia, all of the actual production facilities were located in Bellefonte. What defines being "based in Philadelphia"? Furthermore, why have you removed the Centre County category? Essentially all of the company's operations occurred in the county, and it's an important part of the county's economic history. Choess ( talk) 19:33, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I think everyone agrees on this point from which the other warnings follow, "In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged." Everyone cares about the result and not motives or other arguments directed towards the author. Maybe mentioning this to that contributor didn't help anything but the focus has to be on the result and it does seem the wikipedia policies follow from this. Again, those that I've made were advertised or disclosed. Nerdseeksblonde ( talk) 10:47, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
All of your edits seem motivated to make saturated fat seem worse. Most of your comments for your edits are very unhelpful. Why were you "Unable to verify"?

It seems to be a resource site with loads of information on penny stock. It does not promote any companies or what ever. However it seems that they do run google ads, but I have seen few other wiki pages linking to them as authority sites. I think its good if you could give a reconsideration for the best of the readers, or perhaps you can edit the wiki in such a way that it got all the information about penny stock to the extent which this site does
this seems to be not promoting any stock brokers, stock picking sites, blogs or any forums. However as to find more information about the specific areas it mention few sites. which in my opinion is needed for someone who is keen on penny stocks.

Hi, and thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give
Burst.com a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "
cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the
page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Best Bet Diet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}

the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact

In general, complicated moves like this should be managed with a formal request for page move (unless you are genuinely convinced that the move will be uncontroversial). Thank you.

OccamzRazor, please stop what you are doing and discuss. The way to edit wikipedia articles is not to demolish existing text, move the waste to a side article and then proceed, over a protracted period, to build an alternative. The original article was a #2 Google hit, was OK but not brilliant, but is now completely worthless. I weep. Colin° Talk 23:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I note Colin's requests above and my comments. I'm surprised you are not addressing Colin's concerns. Unless you can urgently respond to these comments I am in a mind to make the changes he has requested. JFW | T@lk 23:39, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry for only responding now to your above reply. To be frank, the above messages were only left as a matter of courtesy. Normally, controversial moves not performed through WP:RM can be undone by any admin without getting permission from the person who performed the move. The response to these queries should not take a full hour to compose, because it is really a very simple issue as demonstrated by Colin's evidence.
This said, I appreciate your hard work on many diet-related articles, and was wondering if you had any comments on the obesity page. JFW | T@lk 20:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi OccamzRazor, I just saw that you deleted the research indicating a high mortality from coronary heart disease in the Inuit. For what reason? Thanks! -- Phenylalanine ( talk) 01:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
(1) I think this stems from a misunderstanding. Ströhle, Wolters and Hahn did not do the original research, they just mentioned it to prove a point in their letter to the editor (see Paleolithic-style diet). So they don't really have to be indicated in the "Zero-carb diet" article. The relevant sources are below:
"hunters like the Inuits, who traditionally obtain most of their dietary energy from wild animals and therefore eat a low-carbohydrate diet,

(2) Information related to this dietary approach can be found in the articles " Inuit" and " Vilhjalmur Stefansson". Personally, I don't find this diet to be irrelevant (can the traditional diet of the Inuit be called irrelevant?) and I would be inclined to oppose any deletion or merging of the article. -- Phenylalanine ( talk) 04:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

There absolutely is an ongoing debate about raw milk. Pasteurization has been proven to kill off beneficial bacteria and other nutrients in the milk. The worry about pathogens is only in mass produced milk with animals housed in filthy conditions. Healthy, happy cows and goats that are allowed pasture do NOT produce unsafe milk. Pasteurization also kills beneficial nutrients in eggs and honey.
Even if you are correct that the debate was resolved 40 years ago, that does not mean pasteurization is beneficial. 40 years ago, margarine was touted as a healthy alternative to butter. 20 years ago, during the low fat fad, trans fats were welcomed as a way to replace saturated fat. Your handle being a twist on Occam's Razor, I am surprised that you would support a complicated thing over a simple, more natural one. 74.160.5.53 ( talk) 22:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

OccamzRazor,
There is no need for Ketogenic diet (generic). All medical use and research can be covered by Ketogenic diet but you must bear in mind that to date the only clinically approved use is as a treatment for epilepsy. The other stuff is at a very, very early research stage. It doesn't deserve an article on its own, and we don't create "XXX (generic)" articles anyway. I have suggested this new article be merged. I do intend to expand the currently limited discussion of "other uses and research" on the ketogenic diet page, and I've got the sources to do so. Colin° Talk 08:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I dispute your removal of several category tags from the TCI article. Whilst the company is indeed defunct, it has strong links with the economic history of Alabama (especially Birmingham), was one of the first listings on the Dow Jones Average and was one of the most important steel manufacturing companies in the US. It therefore deserves a place on those respective listing pages. Considering that other defunct companies are categorized according to their history, I will revert your changes unless you have any strong objections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grarap ( talk • contribs) 18:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
My point was that you weren't editing in accordance with WP policies. You were a little too bold, attempting to reform the categories system without consulting other users. That's just not on in a system where, like it or not, people take ownership of work they have put effort into and insist on being part of the democratic process. Aside from that, I'm glad to see that you're assisting in tidying up the TCI article for GA review. I have no doubt that we'll pass. Just a tip though - always format references to websites like this: [1] Thanks for your edits anyhow! grarap ( talk) 09:17, 23 May 2008 (UTC)grarap
"
by the look of your contribs, u appear to be "companies buff".
1. maybe u've seen it for other firms, but URS's intro is basically a rip-off of their official website. user 98.199.114.13 copied-and-pasted 3 paragraphs from URS's history page. i can let him/her know that that's plagiarism and warn him/her about breaking wiki rules, but if u've seen this more often then u might know how to do it more politely. it could be a current employee boasting about the firm.
2. also, u revised an entry under M&A's, but its out of order. normally, entries are in chronological order (older to newer), just as in the history section. the flip-flop is easy, but there's also the issue of repetition and omission. the 1999 merger is already mentioned in the history section, along with the 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 acquisitions. perhaps all m&a's should be moved to M&A and the duplicate entry removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivansevil ( talk • contribs) 17:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused by the categorization changes you've made to this article. While the corporate officers were in Philadelphia, all of the actual production facilities were located in Bellefonte. What defines being "based in Philadelphia"? Furthermore, why have you removed the Centre County category? Essentially all of the company's operations occurred in the county, and it's an important part of the county's economic history. Choess ( talk) 19:33, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I think everyone agrees on this point from which the other warnings follow, "In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged." Everyone cares about the result and not motives or other arguments directed towards the author. Maybe mentioning this to that contributor didn't help anything but the focus has to be on the result and it does seem the wikipedia policies follow from this. Again, those that I've made were advertised or disclosed. Nerdseeksblonde ( talk) 10:47, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

It seems to be a resource site with loads of information on penny stock. It does not promote any companies or what ever. However it seems that they do run google ads, but I have seen few other wiki pages linking to them as authority sites. I think its good if you could give a reconsideration for the best of the readers, or perhaps you can edit the wiki in such a way that it got all the information about penny stock to the extent which this site does
this seems to be not promoting any stock brokers, stock picking sites, blogs or any forums. However as to find more information about the specific areas it mention few sites. which in my opinion is needed for someone who is keen on penny stocks.

Hi, and thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give
Burst.com a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "
cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the
page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
