Hi. Just to let you know, a new editor left a note on my talk page regarding your edits to the 5W Public Relations. You might want to drop them a note (as I already did) as they seem to think you restoring valid, sourced content to the article constitutes as vandalism. I no longer have the article watchlisted as it became a huge pain due to the COI issues and "new" users popping up, but if you need any additional help please let me know. Pinkadelica ♣ 23:06, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Investigate as you see fit. Be sure when you report that you report accurately, which you havent done thus far. Stay on target regarding your proposed edits to 5W page and discuss them first on talk is required. There has been consensus and no blogs arent relevant sources. Lastly theres probably more than a few people in NYC who use Wikipedia. -- Billybruns ( talk) 03:06, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

The client format i used for client section is a well used format being used by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogilvy_%26_Mather. It would seem this format is the path of least resistance.. as this section is clearly labeled as "clients" and this format does just that.. If user wants to get a better understanding of a client, he is free to view their individual entry for more information. This section does not require explanations. Agreed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheNYCdan ( talk • contribs) 10:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
I think even the term "far right" is something relative.. even those on the far right would believe there are people farthER to the right.. even the word far itself is relative to your position. I would argue that the word far doesn't define anything without a full explanation of the political landscape.. which of course has no place on this companys page ,and should be, as it is, left out. -- theNYCdan
I would also like to review the reference to GAWKER. is that a reliable source? it would appear the client section was removed as it was deemed "source not reliable" I would argue that gawker by definition is a gossip site, and site and source should be removed,[User:theNYCdan|theNYCdan]] — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheNYCdan ( talk • contribs) 07:25, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

I see from the history that you at some point restored the quote about the Pacers-Pistons game, and I just wanted to let you know I took it out: in my opinion, it is excessive detail and not very encyclopedic. BTW, I looked at the discussions on the BLP noticeboard. I think that the article in its current state is fine, and that the criticism is handled in a way that is balanced enough for a BLP. Whether those three editors are indeed sock puppets is another matter, I reckon, and for now not so pressing: there are enough eyes on the article. But who knows, maybe we'll have to look more closely into that. (Also, a new thread on the same noticeboard was opened by one of those accusing you, but it looks like it will be closed pretty soon.)

Do not again post inaccurate blogs at Ronn Torossian page. Your comment regarding Our Jerusalem is not sourced in the article clean it up. The Hebron source is an inaccurate blog can you clean those up - it doesnt say he is a spokesperson. -- greenbay1313 ( talk) 18:48, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Ravpapa. I see that Zakhalesh sort of mentioned it above, but I thought I'd just drop you a line about greenbay1313. He's pretty upset about some edits at the Ronn Torossian page, and as such has tried to open an RfC, arbitration case, COI report, and AIV report against you. Thought I'd notify you, since he seems to have skipped that step.

You are using the site 5wpr.com do you think thats a valid source as is the blog on Hebron. Whether or not sockpuppet exists would that allow you to make a living person biography inaccurate and harmful ? Are there any Israel profiles on Torossian regarding politics or are all regarding PR ? So why is Israel bulk of the biography ? greenbay1313 ( talk) 21:41, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
You missed the Economic history of the Jews (actually, you can still read it here). Don't miss the Economic history of the Christians and Economic history of the Muslims. You can probably improve your essay with thoughts about these. Tijfo098 ( talk) 18:31, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey Ravpapa, I was noticing this page is getting rather long. I have been trying to follow a few of the conversations on the page but those (and presumably the other active ones too) are at the bottom. I was wondering if you would be interested in using MiszaBot, if you aren't all ready to archive your talk page every so often. If you already use MiszaBot you may also want to set it to archive discussions sooner. Just a suggestion. Thanks, @ d \/\/ | | | Talk 12:30, 3 April 2011 (UTC).
Wanted to correspond to you directly rather than on Torossian page. Accurate to say that the Jewish stuff is getting too much attention. He's not involved in it at all other than for clients, of which Israel is less than 1%. And even that which is there is inaccurate.
Correct that Taglit-Israel should be removed, and keeping it in context so too should immoral - it discusses Agroprocessors and no source would state Torossian was personally involved. Its off, wrong and hurtful. Regarding Hebron would agree if he was a spokesperson it should be cited but he wasnt and has never been a spokesperson. They hired him to represent their dinner as did AJC and many Jewish organizations - They issued a press release. Thats not a spokesperson as you know.
Regarding Israel activities, Torossian represented both Ehud Olmert & Benyamin Netanyahu when they were Prime Ministers- Shouldnt those be inclued ? Can you add ? http://www.thejewishweek.com/features/confident_comeback http://www.mediabistro.com/prnewser/prnewser-interview-ronn-torossian-founder-president-ceo-5wpr_b770 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/PROFNET+WIRE%3A+GOVERNMENT+%26+LAW%3A+Middle+East+Peace+Process.-a0140538812

You seem to have an understanding of Israeli politics and are aware of the subtle differences between settling Eastern Jerusalem as Our Jerusalem sought to do, and expelling Israeli Arabs. Thats not what Our Jerusalem sought to do and should be corrected as Jerusalem Post stated.
The bio as you have it is simply wrong and you alone can correct it without controversy. Perhaps in his 20's Torossian was an activist - and was National US President of Betar - but thats a lot different than the extremism attributed to him by this Wikipedia entree. Moreover hes prominent for PR not for Israel activities. Thank you for your attention. If you'd like Torossian to contact you am sure can ask him to. greenbay1313 ( talk) 13:13, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Seems you think Torossian is an activist. He's not - maybe until 1998 - not since then. The sockpuppet incident and others werent attributed to him as any media you read will state. He has had Israel clients, including Ahava and Elal but its tine percentage of his business. Reality and fairness and decency should be exhibited. greenbay1313 ( talk) 13:20, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

What do you apologize for ?

Correct the Torossian page and stop this behavior you are capable of ending it and doing the right thing. greenbay1313 ( talk) 15:04, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
So now am informing you I want to post a complaint. You slandered and libeled Torossian and outed him. To where does the complaint get directed. Should this matter not be rectified amiciably I'd venture Torossian will resort to legal means immediately. Your comments have off-line real life meaning and harm. To call the winner of every 40 under 40 list of a PR agency the accusation you made is damaging to his multi-million dollar empire. greenbay1313 ( talk) 20:39, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm still gradually working my way through the Todros Geller "From Land to Land" woodblock prints to get them all loaded up to commons. One of the translations from Yiddish you provided was "Indian village (?) New Mexico". The word you weren't sure about was קאטשיטי. After staring at the Hebrew alphabet and searching for tiny places in New Mexico for a while, I think it might be a rendering of Cochiti, New Mexico.....which is still 95% Native American. Do you buy that ? Sean.hoyland - talk 16:21, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

A baroque orchestra is an orchestra that plays baroque music. Usually the instruments are baroque instruments - that is, the versions of the instruments as they existed in the 18th century. In the last 250 years, many instruments - stringed instruments in particular - have undergone numerous changes, subtle in their outward appearance, but with dramatic impact on the way these instruments sound. So a baroque orchestra usually sounds quite different from a modern orchestra.
A baroque orchestra can include wind instruments and percussion. Listen, for example, this performance of the Bach Orchestral Suite number 1 includes oboes and a bassoon. A string orchestra is, of course, only strings, and usually with modern instruments. -- Ravpapa ( talk) 16:25, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

I see you've beat me to the punch. I had thought I might post just the single word "checkmate" and let it go at that. For one thing, I've been making an obnoxious nuisance of myself, constantly posting arguments here and there, and even if no one else is getting tired of it, I am myself. FYI, I don't know if you may have ever looked at my userpage, but only a few days ago I finally introduced myself there. Sometime back in the discussion I had suggested that it might be interesting to research the history of the second sentence in the guideline to see what the arguments were, for and against. Well, I did research it myself, and found that around 2006, as I recall, or thenabouts, someone suggested that since the gist of the second sentence was the agreed-upon de facto rule being followed, it ought to be formalized. So the guideline actually started with the second sentence rather than the first. I thought it best not to post this finding. Also, FWIW, take a look at Jerome Kohl's final post at the OCLC section on his talk page - it's just as well that he stayed aloof. I've conversed some with MistyMorn on his talk page about strategy, if that might be of interest. Rider unquestionably has the law on his side. Robert, on the other hand, is just being amazingly obtuse, unable to see how his arguments keep missing the point. Finally, if you might care to take a look at my own pet peeve, the Rubinstein discography, THD3 feels, rather naturally, possessive about his baby. So to sum up, I'm ready to throw in the towel (I thrive on cliches), and leave you guys to your own devices. You summed it up very nicely in your response to Jack - "the reader is the enemy". In the meantime I have real work to do, and need to get on with it. Cheers, and all the best. I remain very appreciative of your valiant efforts. Milkunderwood ( talk) 15:07, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Just to let you know, a new editor left a note on my talk page regarding your edits to the 5W Public Relations. You might want to drop them a note (as I already did) as they seem to think you restoring valid, sourced content to the article constitutes as vandalism. I no longer have the article watchlisted as it became a huge pain due to the COI issues and "new" users popping up, but if you need any additional help please let me know.

The client format i used for client section is a well used format being used by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogilvy_%26_Mather. It would seem this format is the path of least resistance.. as this section is clearly labeled as "clients" and this format does just that.. If user wants to get a better understanding of a client, he is free to view their individual entry for more information. This section does not require explanations. Agreed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheNYCdan ( talk • contribs) 10:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
I think even the term "far right" is something relative.. even those on the far right would believe there are people farthER to the right.. even the word far itself is relative to your position. I would argue that the word far doesn't define anything without a full explanation of the political landscape.. which of course has no place on this companys page ,and should be, as it is, left out. -- theNYCdan

I see from the history that you at some point restored the quote about the Pacers-Pistons game, and I just wanted to let you know I took it out: in my opinion, it is excessive detail and not very encyclopedic. BTW, I looked at the discussions on the BLP noticeboard. I think that the article in its current state is fine, and that the criticism is handled in a way that is balanced enough for a BLP. Whether those three editors are indeed sock puppets is another matter, I reckon, and for now not so pressing: there are enough eyes on the article. But who knows, maybe we'll have to look more closely into that. (Also, a new thread on the same noticeboard was opened by one of those accusing you, but it looks like it will be closed pretty soon.)

Hi, Ravpapa. I see that Zakhalesh sort of mentioned it above, but I thought I'd just drop you a line about greenbay1313.

You are using the site 5wpr.com do you think thats a valid source as is the blog on Hebron.

Hey Ravpapa, I was noticing this page is getting rather long. I have been trying to follow a few of the conversations on the page but those (and presumably the other active ones too) are at the bottom.

If you already use MiszaBot you may also want to set it to archive discussions sooner. Just a suggestion. Thanks, @ d \/\/ | | | Talk 12:30, 3 April 2011 (UTC).
Wanted to correspond to you directly rather than on Torossian page. Accurate to say that the Jewish stuff is getting too much attention. He's not involved in it at all other than for clients, of which Israel is less than 1%. And even that which is there is inaccurate.
Correct that Taglit-Israel should be removed, and keeping it in context so too should immoral - it discusses Agroprocessors and no source would state Torossian was personally involved. Its off, wrong and hurtful. Regarding Hebron would agree if he was a spokesperson it should be cited but he wasnt and has never been a spokesperson. They hired him to represent their dinner as did AJC and many Jewish organizations - They issued a press release. Thats not a spokesperson as you know.
Regarding Israel activities, Torossian represented both Ehud Olmert & Benyamin Netanyahu when they were Prime Ministers- Shouldnt those be inclued ? Can you add ? http://www.thejewishweek.com/features/confident_comeback http://www.mediabistro.com/prnewser/prnewser-interview-ronn-torossian-founder-president-ceo-5wpr_b770 http://www.thefreelibrary.com/PROFNET+WIRE%3A+GOVERNMENT+%26+LAW%3A+Middle+East+Peace+Process.-a0140538812

You seem to have an understanding of Israeli politics and are aware of the subtle differences between settling Eastern Jerusalem as Our Jerusalem sought to do, and expelling Israeli Arabs. Thats not what Our Jerusalem sought to do and should be corrected as Jerusalem Post stated.
The bio as you have it is simply wrong and you alone can correct it without controversy. Perhaps in his 20's Torossian was an activist - and was National US President of Betar - but thats a lot different than the extremism attributed to him by this Wikipedia entree. Moreover hes prominent for PR not for Israel activities. Thank you for your attention. If you'd like Torossian to contact you am sure can ask him to. greenbay1313 ( talk) 13:13, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Seems you think Torossian is an activist. He's not - maybe until 1998 - not since then. The sockpuppet incident and others werent attributed to him as any media you read will state. He has had Israel clients, including Ahava and Elal but its tine percentage of his business. Reality and fairness and decency should be exhibited. greenbay1313 ( talk) 13:20, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

So now am informing you I want to post a complaint. You slandered and libeled Torossian and outed him. To where does the complaint get directed. Should this matter not be rectified amiciably I'd venture Torossian will resort to legal means immediately. Your comments have off-line real life meaning and harm.

I'm still gradually working my way through the Todros Geller "From Land to Land" woodblock prints to get them all loaded up to commons.

A baroque orchestra is an orchestra that plays baroque music. Usually the instruments are baroque instruments - that is, the versions of the instruments as they existed in the 18th century. In the last 250 years, many instruments - stringed instruments in particular - have undergone numerous changes, subtle in their outward appearance, but with dramatic impact on the way these instruments sound. So a baroque orchestra usually sounds quite different from a modern orchestra.
A baroque orchestra can include wind instruments and percussion. Listen, for example, this performance of the Bach Orchestral Suite number 1 includes oboes and a bassoon. A string orchestra is, of course, only strings, and usually with modern instruments. -- Ravpapa ( talk) 16:25, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

I see you've beat me to the punch. I had thought I might post just the single word "checkmate" and let it go at that. For one thing, I've been making an obnoxious nuisance of myself, constantly posting arguments here and there, and even if no one else is getting tired of it, I am myself. FYI, I don't know if you may have ever looked at my userpage, but only a few days ago I finally introduced myself there. Sometime back in the discussion I had suggested that it might be interesting to research the history of the second sentence in the guideline to see what the arguments were, for and against. Well, I did research it myself, and found that around 2006, as I recall, or thenabouts, someone suggested that since the gist of the second sentence was the agreed-upon de facto rule being followed, it ought to be formalized. So the guideline actually started with the second sentence rather than the first. I thought it best not to post this finding. Also, FWIW, take a look at Jerome Kohl's final post at the OCLC section on his talk page - it's just as well that he stayed aloof. I've conversed some with MistyMorn on his talk page about strategy, if that might be of interest. Rider unquestionably has the law on his side. Robert, on the other hand, is just being amazingly obtuse, unable to see how his arguments keep missing the point. Finally, if you might care to take a look at my own pet peeve, the Rubinstein discography, THD3 feels, rather naturally, possessive about his baby. So to sum up, I'm ready to throw in the towel (I thrive on cliches), and leave you guys to your own devices. You summed it up very nicely in your response to Jack - "the reader is the enemy". In the meantime I have real work to do, and need to get on with it. Cheers, and all the best. I remain very appreciative of your valiant efforts. Milkunderwood ( talk) 15:07, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

You have broken the references that I have fixed.Why?-- Shrike ( talk) 14:54, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
It was you who broke the references by moving text into a footnote. Try reading what you edit before saving. -- Ravpapa ( talk) 14:55, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is " Gideon Levy". Thank you.
I haven't been following the long discussion, but shouldn't it be a capital 'Q'? String Quartet No. 14 (Schubert)? If not and its a long explanation, don't worry about it. I'm just checking to make sure its not a typo. Thanks. DavidRF ( talk) 23:00, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
