Hi Ritchie, I'm confused about what happened at Isabel Pell ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs). Elisa.rolle created this in August 2017. On 17 July this year, you tagged it as a copyvio, copied from http://andrejkoymasky.com/liv/fam/biop1/pell01.html, although that page says "Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". Jimfbleak then deleted it.
On 19 July, I pointed out that the webpage had copied from Wikipedia. I understand that these things can be overlooked easily. It's what happened next that's unusual. Instead of asking Jim to undelete it (or doing it yourself), it seems you copied the deleted version, copy-edited it, then re-created it as your own. You then undeleted the previous edits. This has added Isabel Pell to the list of articles you created, but not marked as recreated. It has also left a confusing history, where with one edit it's tagged, and the next is a copyedit that has added 12,577 bytes.
Did you do the same thing at Green Tomato Cars? Your list of creations shows that you created it, but in fact someone else did. The logs also show a deletion and undeletion by you on the day the log says you created it. SarahSV (talk) 17:20, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello Ritchie. Thank you for taking an interest.
Now a day later, another author deleted the same paragraph as before, the one in Retirement section that says Joe Ware married a transsexual—which is true. I am his wife/widow, and I am transsexual, have been with SRS in 1981. We got together in 1989, married in 1995.
Joe was a significant conservative icon. His family worships him. He was flight test engineer in charge at Skunk Works, Lockheed, over the 1st 2 Air Force Ones, the U-2, the SR-71, the C-130 Hercules...and he was a Christian, a Presbyterian Elder...
There have always been people in his sphere who took exception to our marriage. It felt,rather, like it was the 1950s and he was a white icon who married a black person. People tried to run me off from the start. Yes, he was 40 years older, but neither of us had a concept of that, either. He was a MARVELOUS man, and we loved each other, truly. We married each other ever year on our anniversary, for a total of 17 times, I'm fond of saying.
But people have been abusive of me during our time together and even after his death in 2012. As well, people in his sphere have tried to hide the fact that a man like that would marry someone like me.
The paragraph in question is the 2nd in the Retirement Section of Joseph_F._Ware_Jr. It is a very positive paragraph.
No reason was given for the revert, and I did note that on my undo just now, but I believe the offending part of the paragraph is where it says he married me, clarified as transsexual.
I believe it is very important to state the truth of our marriage, as it shows what a good man he was, and to feel I shouldn't state that truth is to slam me for being what I am, that it's not okay he married someone who is transsexual, which can't be true.
Anything you can do or advise me will be most helpful.
Thank you

Hello Ritchie,
Clearly, this is over my head. I need help, guidance.
Someone else rapidly changed the page in a matter of minutes to delete, among other things, that his wife is transsexual. They also cited otehr things, some of which are wrong: Joe is not a living person. My book self-book autobiography of 2016 is there to show my statement of the truth. That I am transsexual in our marriage is unusual, and that's why it's newsworthy.
People are making choices that are removing this fact of my transsexuality from our marriage. If you have any advice, please share.
Thank you

Hello Ritchie,
Two things are happening to Joe's page, I think.
1. People keep reverting the page to an edit that has a sentence fragment in it. I keep fixing that, but they keep changing it back to the sentence fragment: Retirement section, Para 2, Sentence 2, begins "Though..."
2. The sentence on the Co-founding of the Ware Lab only lists Joe, but it was 3 of us: Note What Virginia Tech says here: https://eng.vt.edu/warelab/about-the-ware-lab/friends-of-the-ware-lab.html I've been copying that, but someone keeps removing Dr. Griffin and me and leaving only Joe.
3. I removed my citation to my book, as it was SPS, by request. I believe it's relevant, as it's the only source of this covered-up information, that I'm transsexual. But if it's not allowed, okay. But I think it is very noteworthy that I, his 3rd wife, am/was transsexual. NOTE: Such things on the wed page I supplied such as Joe being in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, helping them with Counter Terrorist activities...were all supplied by me as his wife, earlier, and they're okay without third party discussion, but I can't add that I'm transsexual because it refers to me? That results in the avoidance or suppression of what is so important, proof that Joe was non-judgmental, non-prejudiced, in an era that has been very anti-trans. We took a lot of hell fort this. How can it not be stated?
And now, even though I left off my book citation, I'm being warned about doing an edit war because I keep going in and re-inserting correct Ware Lab data, me as transsexual, fixing the sentence fragment. I'm not trying to war.
Jenna Ware Hathalm ( talk) 14:49, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ritchie. Yup, we all ge to do the washing and cleaning at times. :) I don't look forward to it, either.
I may have been banned at Joe's Talk page. I saw someone else counter your statement, then I tried to add the following, TWICE, but it doesn't show. I find NO where saying that I've been banned, but it's not taking the reply. Nonetheless, here it is, below, including me publishing this twice in the VT campus newspaper, in 2018, though I paid for those 2 full page adds.
Thank you Ritchie333 for your helpful comments. Yes, I am supportive of the issue of my transsexuality on Joe Ware's Article. I believe it is noteworthy that in a climate of transphobia, of hate, where I had been threatened, assaulted, our home intruded...that he would stand up and openly declare his love for me, marry me, and that we stayed together until his death in 2012. Joe Ware, a conservative man, defense department engineer, married me, a transsexual.
As to publication, Virginia Tech did include that video of me. I don't think I look that good on the video, but I approved of it.
I also published this exact matter TWICE in the Virginia Tech campus newspaper, about Joe's wonderful family, the Ware Lab, my transsexuality, Virginia Tech's Commission on Equal Opportunity and Diversity stating unanimously that transsexualism exists, and my hope for further campus integration in time—all published on August 28, 2018 and again on September 11, 2018—but I don't know if it matters here as, yet again, those two full-page ads were advertorials, as they called them. I paid for them.
I must be doing something wrong, here, though, because the fact that this great man stood up in a climate of hate and openly married me, transsexual, is not something that can find a way onto his Article. My book was self-published https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Life-Aerospace-Love-Secrets-ebook/dp/B01MQX0THD/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Jenna+Ware&qid=1564068631&s=gateway&sr=8-2 , the two times it was in the Collegiate Times I paid for, I'm not allowed to include information about myself in his Article, and another person can't speak authoritatively about my transsexualism...
On the POSITIVE SIDE, Yes, VT did do that video of me, in my airplane hangar at Camarillo, CA, and I've well established that I am truly transsexual and that we were married.
RESOLUTION ?? 1. Would it be acceptable if someone else, other than me, included a line in Joe's Article something to the effect that his third wife was/is transsexual? Because this is not only true, it's the kind of thing that is important for our society.
2. I see the sentence fragment got fixed, but
3. I still need to fix the incorrect statement in Retirement that says Joe founded the Ware Lab. There were 3 of us who co-founded the Lab: Joe, me, and Hayden Griffin, Ph.D., a then engineering professor at Virginia Tech. This is all described in detail in my book, but that citation isn't liked because it was self-published. But Virginia Tech has stated this as well: https://eng.vt.edu/warelab/about-the-ware-lab/friends-of-the-ware-lab.html
4. No third party sources that talk about Joe marrying a transsexual? In the 1st paragraph of Retirement, note that he served in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, helped them with counter-terrorism, owned a Beachcraft and a T-28...all without citations, but they're there. I'm the one who supplied that information. It says citation needed, but it's still there.
All this ruckus is over this word: "Transsexual." Why is that? Why is that one thing, that he married someone like me, the thing that's so disallowed, that has no way in? I'm asking that this great mean, demonstrated by his open marriage to me, be allowed.
Self-published work is disliked because it can contain falsities. I understand. But mine is conservative in that area, and I believe the information in it is important to describe this great man who showed remarkable courage and strength of character in openly marrying me.
I hope we find a way to include.

Dear Reviewers,
Proprioceptive Writing is a legitimate intellectual and psychological method of endeavor, and of exploration. The content itself reinforces this - one has but to look into the scholarly sources, references, and associations to see that presentation of the discipline is more than a matter of mere promotion. Add to that, the associations with numerous listed academic institutions, credentials of creators and contributors, and relationships with noted centers for reflection, and we affirm that our dispute with it being labeled "advertising" is just and sound.
If the reviewers would like more information, they are welcome to look into the sources within the article itself, or to email any of the following persons to seek a better grounding in the nature of the subject:
Derek Williams, PWC/PWCSE web admin - jdw0408@gmail.com - Anne Bright - Ann Bright, PWCSE Chief Instructor - anne@thewayofwriting.org - Linda T. Metcalf - PW Co-founder, Principal Proprioceptive Writing Instructor - linda@pwriting.org
Please also consider the following existing Wikipedia articles, to help contextualize the work of PW and its founders:

I noticed that you canceled some of my CSD requests. One of them seemed to have a message stating that I "was trying to place as many tags as possible". [17] I can assure you that is not the case. I am currently working on reducing the huge backlog at the stale drafts wikiproject/drive. It has lost traction a bit and I am trying to maintain its work. All articles I mark have been stale and are taking up space for possible articles. The Student Center at Yale had no content, was stale, and the user who created it had very little edits outside of it. That warrants a web host violation.
However, since you are the administrator, I respect your reasoning but would like a bit more info on the situation.

2. The sentence on the Co-founding of the Ware Lab only lists Joe, but it was 3 of us: Note What Virginia Tech says here: https://eng.vt.edu/warelab/about-the-ware-lab/friends-of-the-ware-lab.html I've been copying that, but someone keeps removing Dr. Griffin and me and leaving only Joe.
3. I removed my citation to my book, as it was SPS, by request. I believe it's relevant, as it's the only source of this covered-up information, that I'm transsexual. But if it's not allowed, okay. But I think it is very noteworthy that I, his 3rd wife, am/was transsexual. NOTE: Such things on the wed page I supplied such as Joe being in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, helping them with Counter Terrorist activities...were all supplied by me as his wife, earlier, and they're okay without third party discussion, but I can't add that I'm transsexual because it refers to me? That results in the avoidance or suppression of what is so important, proof that Joe was non-judgmental, non-prejudiced, in an era that has been very anti-trans. We took a lot of hell fort this. How can it not be stated?
And now, even though I left off my book citation, I'm being warned about doing an edit war because I keep going in and re-inserting correct Ware Lab data, me as transsexual, fixing the sentence fragment. I'm not trying to war.

Hi Ritchie. Yup, we all ge to do the washing and cleaning at times. :) I don't look forward to it, either.
I may have been banned at Joe's Talk page. I saw someone else counter your statement, then I tried to add the following, TWICE, but it doesn't show. I find NO where saying that I've been banned, but it's not taking the reply. Nonetheless, here it is, below, including me publishing this twice in the VT campus newspaper, in 2018, though I paid for those 2 full page adds.
Thank you Ritchie333 for your helpful comments. Yes, I am supportive of the issue of my transsexuality on Joe Ware's Article. I believe it is noteworthy that in a climate of transphobia, of hate, where I had been threatened, assaulted, our home intruded...that he would stand up and openly declare his love for me, marry me, and that we stayed together until his death in 2012. Joe Ware, a conservative man, defense department engineer, married me, a transsexual.
As to publication, Virginia Tech did include that video of me. I don't think I look that good on the video, but I approved of it.
I also published this exact matter TWICE in the Virginia Tech campus newspaper, about Joe's wonderful family, the Ware Lab, my transsexuality, Virginia Tech's Commission on Equal Opportunity and Diversity stating unanimously that transsexualism exists, and my hope for further campus integration in time—all published on August 28, 2018 and again on September 11, 2018—but I don't know if it matters here as, yet again, those two full-page ads were advertorials, as they called them. I paid for them.
I must be doing something wrong, here, though, because the fact that this great man stood up in a climate of hate and openly married me, transsexual, is not something that can find a way onto his Article. My book was self-published https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Life-Aerospace-Love-Secrets-ebook/dp/B01MQX0THD/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Jenna+Ware&qid=1564068631&s=gateway&sr=8-2 , the two times it was in the Collegiate Times I paid for, I'm not allowed to include information about myself in his Article, and another person can't speak authoritatively about my transsexualism...
On the POSITIVE SIDE, Yes, VT did do that video of me, in my airplane hangar at Camarillo, CA, and I've well established that I am truly transsexual and that we were married.
RESOLUTION ?? 1. Would it be acceptable if someone else, other than me, included a line in Joe's Article something to the effect that his third wife was/is transsexual? Because this is not only true, it's the kind of thing that is important for our society.
2. I see the sentence fragment got fixed, but
3. I still need to fix the incorrect statement in Retirement that says Joe founded the Ware Lab. There were 3 of us who co-founded the Lab: Joe, me, and Hayden Griffin, Ph.D., a then engineering professor at Virginia Tech. This is all described in detail in my book, but that citation isn't liked because it was self-published. But Virginia Tech has stated this as well: https://eng.vt.edu/warelab/about-the-ware-lab/friends-of-the-ware-lab.html
4. No third party sources that talk about Joe marrying a transsexual? In the 1st paragraph of Retirement, note that he served in the Coast Guard Auxiliary, helped them with counter-terrorism, owned a Beachcraft and a T-28...all without citations, but they're there. I'm the one who supplied that information. It says citation needed, but it's still there.
All this ruckus is over this word: "Transsexual." Why is that? Why is that one thing, that he married someone like me, the thing that's so disallowed, that has no way in? I'm asking that this great mean, demonstrated by his open marriage to me, be allowed.
Self-published work is disliked because it can contain falsities. I understand. But mine is conservative in that area, and I believe the information in it is important to describe this great man who showed remarkable courage and strength of character in openly marrying me.
I hope we find a way to include.

Hey Richie,
Been a long time since we interacted, but thought I'd drop by given current events. My thoughts:
After reading your post at AC/N - I can certainly understand your frustration and trepidation. I hope your retirement is temporary and that given time to sort things out and developing a M.O. that you'll consider returning. You're very good in administrative tasks, I'd hate to see anything chase you away from that. All that being said - I do wish you the best. — Ched : ? — 18:24, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Dear Reviewers,
Proprioceptive Writing is a legitimate intellectual and psychological method of endeavor, and of exploration. The content itself reinforces this - one has but to look into the scholarly sources, references, and associations to see that presentation of the discipline is more than a matter of mere promotion. Add to that, the associations with numerous listed academic institutions, credentials of creators and contributors, and relationships with noted centers for reflection, and we affirm that our dispute with it being labeled "advertising" is just and sound.
If the reviewers would like more information, they are welcome to look into the sources within the article itself, or to email any of the following persons to seek a better grounding in the nature of the subject:
Derek Williams, PWC/PWCSE web admin - jdw0408@gmail.com - Anne Bright - Ann Bright, PWCSE Chief Instructor - anne@thewayofwriting.org - Linda T. Metcalf - PW Co-founder, Principal Proprioceptive Writing Instructor - linda@pwriting.org
Please also consider the following existing Wikipedia articles, to help contextualize the work of PW and its founders:
Peter Elbow - /info/en/?search=Peter_Elbow
Ira Progoff - /info/en/?search=Ira_Progoff
We more than welcome recommendations for edits/revisions to format and tone, if that would be preferable.

Hello, I am not sure that this is the place to write to contact Richie333.

I am a certified teacher of Proprioceptive Writing, and a practioner of over 20 years. I have written on Proprioceptive Writing in relationship to Adult Development and Carol Gilligan's ground-breaking work on Voice and girls' development at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education in 1996/1997.

{{

, asking it for it to be deleted and recreated because it was
written in a way that was fundamentally unsuitable to be an encyclopedia article. Nobody has recreated it yet. To start off with, you could use a source such as this
review from GHacks and this
German review from the Swiss IT Magazine, using basic information from those.
VLC Player is still present because it has sufficient sources of information to easily stand as an encyclopedia article without being challenged.

16:05, 16 July 2019 (UTC)Hello,
I noticed that you canceled some of my CSD requests. One of them seemed to have a message stating that I "was trying to place as many tags as possible". [17] I can assure you that is not the case. I am currently working on reducing the huge backlog at the stale drafts wikiproject/drive. It has lost traction a bit and I am trying to maintain its work. All articles I mark have been stale and are taking up space for possible articles. The Student Center at Yale had no content, was stale, and the user who created it had very little edits outside of it. That warrants a web host violation.
However, since you are the administrator, I respect your reasoning but would like a bit more info on the situation.
