Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Serten. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Serten~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell

Hi Keegan Peterzell, I would like to have an Account for all wikis. Would it be possible to use another name, lets say Sertenario for all wikis and transfer the creidts to it?.

Hi, regarding
Template:Did you know nominations/Muggeseggele... DYK rules require a new article to be at least 1500 prose characters, and yours is only 978 990 (I added a {{
convert}}, which added a few characters). It will have to be expanded to be eligible for DYK. For a tool to count prose characters, see
WP:DYKcheck.

I commend you trying to get the list to something that is recognizably encyclopedic and appropriate for Wikipedia. I strongly suggest taking as much time as it takes to read the last AfD, and skim through the talk page discussions since. Without some perspective on the history of the article, editors' continuing concerns about it, and how the local consensus was achieved and is being maintained, I'm afraid that the response you're getting on the talk page is just going to escalate and be unproductive. -- Ronz ( talk) 17:09, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for helping, but don't get yourself in revert-trouble, - it's not worth it ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:41, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Gerda, one of the reasons I refrain from editing the infobox meta sphere was me I burning my fingers with the high and mighty in deWP. The German discussions about the use of star for "born" (Venus! Mary! Pagan! Christian!) and Dagger/Cross for Death (Crucifix! Christian! German!) biographical articles lede are rather muddy. Form der Lebensdaten in der Einleitung von Personenartikeln. I then had used sign language as an argument - [ http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/g/germany.htm The sign for Germany is either an eagle or a Pickelhaube, Israeli deaf started with a swastika (sic!), either refering to the importance of stereotypes as base for Visual Literacy ;) However some of the points which succeeded in keeping Cross and Dagger are applicable as well to the infobox case.
Thats said, the stricter infoboxes require a certain row and order and the more they use good symbols, they better they become. But it takes a long and hard way to find the right ones. WP is not the right place for that, better refer to DIN, IEC or other standards, DIN 5008 in case of the cross. Feel free to use that for your discussions. Serten ( talk) 21:23, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

User:Stephan Schulz point about my use of "post-modernist claims about science" is not as bad as it seems, social scientists get more and more involved in climate issues, a traditional keep of self announced "hard scientists".

Have you seen this Serten and Yngvadottir - now just read Romantic movement - and you will understand why all this was so wrong.
Hallo Hafspajen and Yngvadottir. It took me a while to answer, honestly I was already rather annoyed as well. I cannot login with my original account. Point is, that there is not ONE religion in American culture. Fuebjaer talking about "the church" "the church" is completely nonsense. One might assume btw, I am quite sure, that manifest destiny has been part of the wilderness discourse, that the American nature was taken as a part of the American religion. But I think the conflict with the "DYK guy" is one between Hafspajen high level prose and his (Fuebjaers) lack of understanding :( Serten II ( talk) 22:13, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
I am talking to fast... Hafspajen ( talk) 22:37, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Serten, FYI, Category:Climate change skeptics has now been nicely split into two new sub-categories: Category:Climate change skeptics (politicians), and what should be your favourite: Category:Climate change skeptics (scientists); this latter dovetailing nicely with List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming. I hope you agree that this is a nice result, and that it's better that no one deleted the original category. Cheers. Prhartcom ( talk) 02:15, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Hallo Prhartcom, at least someone dared to decide! I seriously doubt the dovetailing aspect and raise that on the List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming
Prhartcom, I have done some work and raised concerns about the article "list of scientists..." which is being used for the category. You can take my word that not a single one of the sources used for the lists actually describes one the scientists which are being listed as a "sceptic". It might be different with the sources in the article of the persons, but the list as such is NOT adequately sourced. In so far the list shoudlnt be used in the defintiont of the category. With regard to the second user name, its been explained one section above - and in my post on mediawiki - I wasnt able to login with the original account, even with the proper password I received an error message and therefore have created another user name. If you sent a mail, under either account, I am able to confirm the identity. Serten II ( talk) 17:20, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for all of your contributions to improve Wikipedia!
13 December is the day when Swedes perplex the rest of the world by showing up way too early in the morning dressed in white tunics, candles in their hair, singing and bringing saffron buns and breakfast in bed to nice people. Hope you have a bright day!

Since youa ppear to want independent comment on your article, but it is very obviously identified by credible editors as a WP:POVFORK and containing WP:OR, I have moved it back to your userspace at User:Serten II/IPCC consensus, to save the faff of an inevitable AfD. Please ask for input from the relevant wikiproject, they can I am sure help you to achieve the required standards of neutrality and leave it as something other than the current rather obviously opinionated monograph.

"What do you mean" is a false friend - it does not mean "Was ist Deine Meinung" but rather "Wie bitte?" (i.e. "Please explain the meaning", not "what is your opinion"). I think you want to say "What's your opinion?" or maybe "What do you think (about this)?" here.-- Stephan Schulz ( talk) 14:52, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

It appears that you have been
canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While
friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are
indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain
point of view or side of a debate, or which are
selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of
consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.
Comment by NAEG - I have no problem with neutral messages posted to likely portals; for climate related articles I often post such notices also at
Talk:Global warming, since there is so much traffic there. I also don't object to pinging past involved editors, but if you do that you should send the same message to all of them.
In contrast, you appear to be cherry picking specific editors according to your predictions of their POV, trying to sway them with non-neutral messages, and without really considering if they are skilled at
WP:Dispute resolution. For example
Finally, it strikes me as rather brazen to be editing under our policy of NPOV, to acknowledge other eds' talking about AE enforcement against you (where you replied "The Spanish Inquisition was quicker"), give yet another editor commenting on your POV and non-consensus approach with
"(paraphrased) in your face", and at the same time initiate such a campaign. Do you want a topic ban? I've got half a complaint drafted already, focusing on failure to assume good faith.
If you want to spread the word about anything - fine. There is a handy table to help identify permissible canvassing versus the wrong kind and you can find it at
WP:Canvassing.

Pius Walder, an article you either created or significantly contributed to, has been nominated for
Did you know
![]() |
Hello, Serten! Hafspajen asked me to go over the article Humboldtian model of higher education. I did that a few hours ago and made a few copy-edits. It wasn't bad. There were not many problems. Now I'm going through the article once more to polish the prose. I'm still working on one or two sentences, and will finish those tomorrow. I have a question for you. In the section Humboldtian model of higher education#20th and 21st centuries, I saw the acronym "KAIM". I thought perhaps it should be spelled out at least once, at first mention of it. I found the name of the organization in the references and copied it before the first "KAIM". However, I think it may have some quotation marks that are out of place. I just copied it the way it was in the references. Can you check that, and fix it in both places? Also, perhaps you could translate that into English before "KAIM". CorinneSD ( talk) 04:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
(a) It's not clear what you mean by "strategic aspects". Can you explain (here) what you mean so I can suggest better wording?
(b) I believe by the sentence "The term KAIM itself refers to," you are trying to explain where the phrase Konzertierte Aktion comes from. If that's correct, we just need to tighten up the language to make that clear. Do you really need "e.g. the de:Konzertierte Aktion"?
(c) I'm wondering why you're using the word "stakeholders". That term is usually used in business, where each stakeholder, or party, has a financial interest in the joint business. In education, especially higher education, I think we would use the word "partners" -- at least in the U.S.
(d) The middle sentence, the one that begins, "KAIM involves...," is all right. I'm just thinking that the word "position" is a little vague. Position in what sense? Perhaps "prestige"?
I'm going to re-copy the passage from above, and cross out and substitute some things, and leave a few things open that you need to fill in or clarify for me.
Re-written:
I think this is better. We can still work on it if more needs to be done. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:28, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Corrinne. I think you took stakeholder for shareholder, the Konzertierte Aktion is about Stakeholders, which is much broader. I translated "Standort" (verbally site) to hub, since thats the goal. KAIM is more than marketing, it does as well embody strategy discussions among the stakeholders and aims to streamline that. Serten II ( talk) 23:45, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
BR Serten II ( talk) 23:45, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
(This is more difficult than I though it would be. It's the difficulties of translation.)
but a "joint initiative" is a short-term program/project. If it is not that, then we need to remove those terms. I understand "hub", but I think a better word could be found. CorinneSD ( talk) 02:17, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
2) I'd like to ask you about this sentence from the lede:
Normally, without some additional cues or punctuation, we don't have sentences with a string of words or phrases joined by "and" as this one is:
I know that the arts and sciences is a common phrase, so perhaps you mean those as one item. If you count that as one item, you still have two more phrases. We'll call these "A" (that is, the arts and sciences), "B", and "C". It's not clear whether you mean:
(a) it combines A, B, and C, (in other words, it combines all three together), or
(b) it combines A with B and C, or
(c) it combines A and B with C. Do you see what I mean?
Let me write them out in full:
(a) it combines the arts and sciences, comprehensive general learning, and cultural knowledge.
(b) it combines the arts and sciences with comprehensive general learning and cultural knowledge.
(c) it combines the arts and sciences and comprehensive general learning with cultural knowledge.
If none of these expresses what you mean, let me know what you mean and I'll make further suggestions. CorinneSD ( talk) 22:36, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Hmm. its was planned as a sort of climax of dichotomies. Let me try to restructure it.
(d) "Sometimes called the Humboldtian Model, it combines the arts and sciences, comprehensive general learning and teaching, specific expertise and cultural knowledge with a high level of ambition and freedom for teachers and students"
I hope it sounds more English now (shy smile) Serten II ( talk) 22:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Well, it sounded like English before; it just needed a little improvement to the phrasing. This is a little better. I see you added some phrases (maybe too much). By "specific expertise", I think you mean real-life, or practical expertise -- the expertise of people working in real industry or other jobs. I think instead of "specific expertise", I would use "practical expertise". Regarding the last part of the sentence, "with a high level of ambition and freedom for teachers and students", I wonder (a) how one can measure ambition -- does that mean that a medium level of ambition would be of no use? and (b) why the ambition of teachers would be important. Unless it is really important to describe the Humboldtian model of higher education, I think the word "ambition" complicates the sentence. Perhaps "freedom" is enough. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:36, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Its n ot exact "practical" but the en detail factoids of a certain science, combined with broader (philosphical) perspectives. I added some verbs and made the freedom part a separate sentence. CYA! 23:54, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bionade-Biedermeier is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bionade-Biedermeier (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. Legacypac ( talk) 22:02, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Things will go better in the discussion at Creationism if you limit your comments to discussing content, not contributors. This is described in the talk page guidelines. The essence of WP:CIVILITY is not to make remarks that anger/irritate other people and create friction, which gets in the way of getting work done. Basically, don't be a jerk. Things like this "sort of state of denial" are going to 1) provoke similar insults aimed at you from equally inexperienced editors; 2) make some people who let their emotions get away with them, hate you and argue with you just for the hell of it; 3) make the remaining experienced and self-restrained editors think of you as not worth listening to.

Hi, Polentarion! Thanks for all your help with the Roly Bain article. But there is one problem: I don't think we are allowed to add new hooks to the DYK nomination, after it has already been approved. At this point it is supposed to be "good to go", ready to put on the front page. So it shouldn't include a proposed hook that actually wasn't reviewed and approved. Or I guess we could contact Cwmhiraeth and ask them to take another look and see if they approve the new hook. What do you think? -- MelanieN ( talk) 13:10, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Regarding your recent double reversion on the page Skeptical movement ( [4] [5]) of its tags: I'd like to point you to the available writeups on these, specifically WP:TAGGING and WP:CLEANUPTAG. I have explained the addition of these tags both in the edit summary and in the templates themselves, but most importantly these improvements are obvious that they are necessary. If you believe that the article Skeptical movement, as currently written, actually does focus on a social movement as described in the lead, rather than the general topic of scientific skepticism, and that the lead section adequately summarizes the body and does not introduce new information, then discuss this on the Talk page. Your reversions amount to nothing less than edit warring and are highly unconstructive.
As the article is currently written, it does not meet Wikipedia's quality standards for MOS:LEAD, while the body of the article reads like a WP:COATRACK on scientific skepticism. This is due primarily to the change of topic focus from a general idea of scientific skepticism to a social movement. As such, the entire body of the article needs to be updated to reflect this change in perspective and subject matter. Instead of removing the tags, I would propose that the necessary changes are made instead. In the meantime, such tags serve the purposes of alerting readers that the content is being radically altered, and alerting other editors to assist in refocusing the article.

You need to edit much more carefully. Too much jocularity and too much unsourced, editorializing content. Do not add unsourced content to Wikipedia; follow sources. Do not add jocularity. About the 1993 demographic discussion - If the profile is the same today, bring a source for that. Jytdog ( talk) 00:18, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
Have you considered doing a blog post for Wikipediocracy?
You've got your finger on something important with regards to ignoring academic sources, but I note that we do have an article on Art of the Deal, so somebody appears to have read it. (Also, for someone as determinedly non-political as I am, the fact I instantly remembered the title of the book is disquieting.) Personally, I believe we need both academics and the newspapers; but it's not good when editors resist the very notion of citing scholarly analyses, just as it would not be good to rely only on the yellow press and political blogs, or alternatively to wait for an article with a doi before including anything about a public figure's career. The challenge of encyclopedia writing on such a person, post-Britannica and other slow and intentionally brief works, is to serve the reader up an intelligent account drawing on both recent and long-view sources. Otherwise we might as well be Wikinews, or Britannica.
I am not a planner. I find planning stifles creativity, including the creativity needed to lasso a moving target like the career of a person who is still in mid-career. In any case, it's impossible given that this is a wiki: a collaboration open to all (subject of course to discretionary sanctions, blocks, edit restrictions, and bans). So I'm afraid I can't support your view that articles should be planned. I'm also leery of the suggestion that research should be based on the outline, because that almost guarantees one will merely confirm their original assumptions. In any case, again, it just won't work here: we can't restrict editing on any article to someone who's done the reading, and in any case people will disagree about what reading is essential ... and then someone is going to come along with something out of left field ... like you with Zizek, someone I imagine the American authors by and large hadn't even heard of. Letting everybody edit and having many people collaborate are the fundamental strengths of Wikipedia.
That said, I am determinedly non-political, and probably a fool. So here, I am going to ping Iridescent, who hosts fascinating conversations on their talk page, including with many people who are sure I am a fool. Let's see what they have to say. Yngvadottir ( talk) 19:38, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
Your first section refers to a sort of WP Deborah number, the relation between the speed of quality sources being established and the amount of interest for a certain event or person covered by WP. If you refer to a Britannica age, youre are underestimating the actual speed, if you look on scholar, there are quite recent studies which could or should have been used. Some erratic examples
The second aspect is about planning.
tldnr and final point: We need a sort of Hayden_White Metahistory revolution for Wikipedia. Any article has a sort of metanarrative, any text is marked by strategies of explanation and narratology. Including Myron Ebell. If we embrace that fact, we would become able to deal with it rationally and meaningful. If not we end in turf battles and loosing possible and existing editors.

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

All users who registered an account before Saturday, 28 October 2017, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Wednesday, 1 November 2017 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Serten. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Serten~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for helping, but don't get yourself in revert-trouble, - it's not worth it ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:41, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Gerda, one of the reasons I refrain from editing the infobox meta sphere was me I burning my fingers with the high and mighty in deWP. The German discussions about the use of star for "born" (Venus! Mary! Pagan! Christian!) and Dagger/Cross for Death (Crucifix! Christian! German!) biographical articles lede are rather muddy. Form der Lebensdaten in der Einleitung von Personenartikeln. I then had used sign language as an argument - [ http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/g/germany.htm The sign for Germany is either an eagle or a Pickelhaube, Israeli deaf started with a swastika (sic!), either refering to the importance of stereotypes as base for Visual Literacy ;) However some of the points which succeeded in keeping Cross and Dagger are applicable as well to the infobox case.
Thats said, the stricter infoboxes require a certain row and order and the more they use good symbols, they better they become. But it takes a long and hard way to find the right ones. WP is not the right place for that, better refer to DIN, IEC or other standards, DIN 5008 in case of the cross. Feel free to use that for your discussions. Serten ( talk) 21:23, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Have you seen this Serten and Yngvadottir - now just read Romantic movement - and you will understand why all this was so wrong.
Hallo Hafspajen and Yngvadottir. It took me a while to answer, honestly I was already rather annoyed as well. I cannot login with my original account. Point is, that there is not ONE religion in American culture. Fuebjaer talking about "the church" "the church" is completely nonsense. One might assume btw, I am quite sure, that manifest destiny has been part of the wilderness discourse, that the American nature was taken as a part of the American religion. But I think the conflict with the "DYK guy" is one between Hafspajen high level prose and his (Fuebjaers) lack of understanding :( Serten II ( talk) 22:13, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Serten, FYI, Category:Climate change skeptics has now been nicely split into two new sub-categories: Category:Climate change skeptics (politicians), and what should be your favourite: Category:Climate change skeptics (scientists); this latter dovetailing nicely with List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming. I hope you agree that this is a nice result, and that it's better that no one deleted the original category. Cheers. Prhartcom ( talk) 02:15, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Hallo Prhartcom, at least someone dared to decide! I seriously doubt the dovetailing aspect and raise that on the List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming
Prhartcom, I have done some work and raised concerns about the article "list of scientists..." which is being used for the category. You can take my word that not a single one of the sources used for the lists actually describes one the scientists which are being listed as a "sceptic". It might be different with the sources in the article of the persons, but the list as such is NOT adequately sourced. In so far the list shoudlnt be used in the defintiont of the category. With regard to the second user name, its been explained one section above - and in my post on mediawiki - I wasnt able to login with the original account, even with the proper password I received an error message and therefore have created another user name. If you sent a mail, under either account, I am able to confirm the identity. Serten II ( talk) 17:20, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Since youa ppear to want independent comment on your article, but it is very obviously identified by credible editors as a WP:POVFORK and containing WP:OR, I have moved it back to your userspace at User:Serten II/IPCC consensus, to save the faff of an inevitable AfD.

It appears that you have been
canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While
friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are
indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain
point of view or side of a debate, or which are
selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of
consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.
Comment by NAEG - I have no problem with neutral messages posted to likely portals; for climate related articles I often post such notices also at
Talk:Global warming, since there is so much traffic there. I also don't object to pinging past involved editors, but if you do that you should send the same message to all of them.
In contrast, you appear to be cherry picking specific editors according to your predictions of their POV, trying to sway them with non-neutral messages, and without really considering if they are skilled at
WP:Dispute resolution. For example
Finally, it strikes me as rather brazen to be editing under our policy of NPOV, to acknowledge other eds' talking about AE enforcement against you (where you replied "The Spanish Inquisition was quicker"), give yet another editor commenting on your POV and non-consensus approach with
"(paraphrased) in your face", and at the same time initiate such a campaign. Do you want a topic ban? I've got half a complaint drafted already, focusing on failure to assume good faith.
If you want to spread the word about anything - fine. There is a handy table to help identify permissible canvassing versus the wrong kind and you can find it at
WP:Canvassing.

Hello, Serten! Hafspajen asked me to go over the article Humboldtian model of higher education. I did that a few hours ago and made a few copy-edits. It wasn't bad. There were not many problems. Now I'm going through the article once more to polish the prose. I'm still working on one or two sentences, and will finish those tomorrow. I have a question for you. In the section Humboldtian model of higher education#20th and 21st centuries, I saw the acronym "KAIM". I thought perhaps it should be spelled out at least once, at first mention of it. I found the name of the organization in the references and copied it before the first "KAIM". However, I think it may have some quotation marks that are out of place. I just copied it the way it was in the references. Can you check that, and fix it in both places? Also, perhaps you could translate that into English before "KAIM". CorinneSD ( talk) 04:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
(a) It's not clear what you mean by "strategic aspects". Can you explain (here) what you mean so I can suggest better wording?
(b) I believe by the sentence "The term KAIM itself refers to," you are trying to explain where the phrase Konzertierte Aktion comes from. If that's correct, we just need to tighten up the language to make that clear. Do you really need "e.g. the de:Konzertierte Aktion"?
(c) I'm wondering why you're using the word "stakeholders". That term is usually used in business, where each stakeholder, or party, has a financial interest in the joint business. In education, especially higher education, I think we would use the word "partners" -- at least in the U.S.
(d) The middle sentence, the one that begins, "KAIM involves...," is all right. I'm just thinking that the word "position" is a little vague. Position in what sense? Perhaps "prestige"?
I'm going to re-copy the passage from above, and cross out and substitute some things, and leave a few things open that you need to fill in or clarify for me.
Re-written:
I think this is better. We can still work on it if more needs to be done. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:28, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Corrinne. I think you took stakeholder for shareholder, the Konzertierte Aktion is about Stakeholders, which is much broader. I translated "Standort" (verbally site) to hub, since thats the goal. KAIM is more than marketing, it does as well embody strategy discussions among the stakeholders and aims to streamline that. Serten II ( talk) 23:45, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
BR Serten II ( talk) 23:45, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
(This is more difficult than I though it would be. It's the difficulties of translation.)
but a "joint initiative" is a short-term program/project. If it is not that, then we need to remove those terms. I understand "hub", but I think a better word could be found. CorinneSD ( talk) 02:17, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
2) I'd like to ask you about this sentence from the lede:
Normally, without some additional cues or punctuation, we don't have sentences with a string of words or phrases joined by "and" as this one is:
I know that the arts and sciences is a common phrase, so perhaps you mean those as one item. If you count that as one item, you still have two more phrases. We'll call these "A" (that is, the arts and sciences), "B", and "C". It's not clear whether you mean:
(a) it combines A, B, and C, (in other words, it combines all three together), or
(b) it combines A with B and C, or
(c) it combines A and B with C. Do you see what I mean?
Let me write them out in full:
(a) it combines the arts and sciences, comprehensive general learning, and cultural knowledge.
(b) it combines the arts and sciences with comprehensive general learning and cultural knowledge.
(c) it combines the arts and sciences and comprehensive general learning with cultural knowledge.
If none of these expresses what you mean, let me know what you mean and I'll make further suggestions. CorinneSD ( talk) 22:36, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Hmm. its was planned as a sort of climax of dichotomies. Let me try to restructure it.
(d) "Sometimes called the Humboldtian Model, it combines the arts and sciences, comprehensive general learning and teaching, specific expertise and cultural knowledge with a high level of ambition and freedom for teachers and students"
I hope it sounds more English now (shy smile) Serten II ( talk) 22:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Well, it sounded like English before; it just needed a little improvement to the phrasing. This is a little better. I see you added some phrases (maybe too much). By "specific expertise", I think you mean real-life, or practical expertise -- the expertise of people working in real industry or other jobs. I think instead of "specific expertise", I would use "practical expertise". Regarding the last part of the sentence, "with a high level of ambition and freedom for teachers and students", I wonder (a) how one can measure ambition -- does that mean that a medium level of ambition would be of no use? and (b) why the ambition of teachers would be important. Unless it is really important to describe the Humboldtian model of higher education, I think the word "ambition" complicates the sentence. Perhaps "freedom" is enough. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:36, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Its n ot exact "practical" but the en detail factoids of a certain science, combined with broader (philosphical) perspectives. I added some verbs and made the freedom part a separate sentence. CYA! 23:54, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Things will go better in the discussion at Creationism if you limit your comments to discussing content, not contributors. This is described in the talk page guidelines. The essence of WP:CIVILITY is not to make remarks that anger/irritate other people and create friction, which gets in the way of getting work done. Basically, don't be a jerk. Things like this "sort of state of denial" are going to 1) provoke similar insults aimed at you from equally inexperienced editors; 2) make some people who let their emotions get away with them, hate you and argue with you just for the hell of it; 3) make the remaining experienced and self-restrained editors think of you as not worth listening to.

Regarding your recent double reversion on the page Skeptical movement ( [4] [5]) of its tags: I'd like to point you to the available writeups on these, specifically WP:TAGGING and WP:CLEANUPTAG. I have explained the addition of these tags both in the edit summary and in the templates themselves, but most importantly these improvements are obvious that they are necessary. If you believe that the article Skeptical movement, as currently written, actually does focus on a social movement as described in the lead, rather than the general topic of scientific skepticism, and that the lead section adequately summarizes the body and does not introduce new information, then discuss this on the Talk page. Your reversions amount to nothing less than edit warring and are highly unconstructive.
As the article is currently written, it does not meet Wikipedia's quality standards for MOS:LEAD, while the body of the article reads like a WP:COATRACK on scientific skepticism. This is due primarily to the change of topic focus from a general idea of scientific skepticism to a social movement. As such, the entire body of the article needs to be updated to reflect this change in perspective and subject matter. Instead of removing the tags, I would propose that the necessary changes are made instead. In the meantime, such tags serve the purposes of alerting readers that the content is being radically altered, and alerting other editors to assist in refocusing the article.

Have you considered doing a blog post for Wikipediocracy?
You've got your finger on something important with regards to ignoring academic sources, but I note that we do have an article on Art of the Deal, so somebody appears to have read it. (Also, for someone as determinedly non-political as I am, the fact I instantly remembered the title of the book is disquieting.) Personally, I believe we need both academics and the newspapers; but it's not good when editors resist the very notion of citing scholarly analyses, just as it would not be good to rely only on the yellow press and political blogs, or alternatively to wait for an article with a doi before including anything about a public figure's career. The challenge of encyclopedia writing on such a person, post-Britannica and other slow and intentionally brief works, is to serve the reader up an intelligent account drawing on both recent and long-view sources. Otherwise we might as well be Wikinews, or Britannica.
I am not a planner. I find planning stifles creativity, including the creativity needed to lasso a moving target like the career of a person who is still in mid-career. In any case, it's impossible given that this is a wiki: a collaboration open to all (subject of course to discretionary sanctions, blocks, edit restrictions, and bans). So I'm afraid I can't support your view that articles should be planned. I'm also leery of the suggestion that research should be based on the outline, because that almost guarantees one will merely confirm their original assumptions. In any case, again, it just won't work here: we can't restrict editing on any article to someone who's done the reading, and in any case people will disagree about what reading is essential ... and then someone is going to come along with something out of left field ... like you with Zizek, someone I imagine the American authors by and large hadn't even heard of. Letting everybody edit and having many people collaborate are the fundamental strengths of Wikipedia.
That said, I am determinedly non-political, and probably a fool. So here, I am going to ping Iridescent, who hosts fascinating conversations on their talk page, including with many people who are sure I am a fool. Let's see what they have to say. Yngvadottir ( talk) 19:38, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
Your first section refers to a sort of WP Deborah number, the relation between the speed of quality sources being established and the amount of interest for a certain event or person covered by WP. If you refer to a Britannica age, youre are underestimating the actual speed, if you look on scholar, there are quite recent studies which could or should have been used. Some erratic examples
The second aspect is about planning.
tldnr and final point: We need a sort of Hayden_White Metahistory revolution for Wikipedia. Any article has a sort of metanarrative, any text is marked by strategies of explanation and narratology. Including Myron Ebell. If we embrace that fact, we would become able to deal with it rationally and meaningful. If not we end in turf battles and loosing possible and existing editors.
