I don't know how to deal with it, but someone snuck a commercial ad onto the Saccharomyces boulardii page. It is in an image pretending to be a scale of some sort.

Hello Scientizzle. The thread about Mccready may need to be refocused. To clarify matters, I am thinking of making an entry in WP:RESTRICT to record the current status of the (unexpired) topic ban that was imposed in May, 2008, per a discussion that you closed back then. Please comment on this draft entry:
User | Type | Sanction (quoted verbatim) |
Special Enforcement Details | Expiration Date |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mccready | Topic ban |
|
|
Indefinite |
His probation on pseudoscience and alternative medicine was only for one year, and it expired in May, 2009. I'm not 100% sure what the following sentence is supposed to apply to: "He must explain all reverts except blatant vandalism on the article's talk page and he is warned against further disruption, such as ignoring consensus or edit warring". If you think that applies to ALL articles, then maybe a separate restriction should be added to the table. Unless anyone sees a mistake in this version, I am planning to go ahead and add it to the table. If the current AN thread lifts or modifies his restriction, the entry can be modified then. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 16:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
— Scien tizzle 20:45, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Mccready is indefinitely banned from all acupuncture- and chiropractic-related topics, broadly construed, except reversion of blatant vandalism.
OK, how's this? I believe that verbatim is not always followed literally in this table, except that the actual text of any restrictive clauses ought to be kept. The clause about vandalism may not be needed, and it may have been part of his expired probation, anyway.

I am an employee at the community renewal society and I would like to post a history of our organization on the wikipedia. some of the content is based on our website history and a community renewal society 1882-1982 100 years of service, a book published by the Chicago review press. Here is the content i would like to publish: does it meet wikipedia guidelines?
Community Renewal Society formally known as the Chicago City Missionary Society was founded in December 14, 1882 by Caleb F. Gates, Silas M. Moore, Robert E. Jenkins, F.S. Hanson, William E. Hale, Fredrick G. Ensign and Burke F. Leavitt. The laypersons and clergymen wanted to promote religion and morality in Chicago.
Since its creation, Community Renewal Society has adapted to the changing needs of Chicago and it continues to offer innovative approaches to deeply rooted urban problems.
Today, Community Renewal Society provides leadership and support in several areas including: public housing, education, criminal justice, youth advocacy and senior issues.
“To me there is greater pleasure in the power to relieve the wants of the truly needy than in aught else I know of,” said Gates, first president of the Community Renewal Society.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Community Renewal Society helped create and shape the religious infrastructure for newly arrived immigrants through the founding of churches, schools and settlement houses.
During the great depression of the 1930s, Community Renewal Society's network of congregations and communities worked with the politicians to create solutions to deepening social and economic problems of that time.
In the 1960s, as the demand for an end to segregation gathered momentum, Community Renewal Society trained thousands of clergy and lay persons in the Civil Rights Movement to promote racial understanding and urban ministry, both locally and nationally.
For the last 38 years, Community Renewal Society has provided investigative reporting on issues of education, politics, housing, crime, social justice and economic conditions through its award winning publications: The Chicago Reporter and Catalyst Chicago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by R.perry.t ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I see that on 20 Nov 2009 you put a Notability tag on this article. I've just found 12 other references to the book in Wikipedia, to which I've added links. Does this satisfy your criterion for notability? I see you've also put an 'original research' tag on this and am a bit puzzled by it. The only research I did, apart from reading the book, was to follow up one of the references. Could you explain what needs to be done? There are 3 references in what is yet a quite short article.

My new article "Building with Concrete" has been deleted, apparently because there is already an article on concrete on Wikipedia. The latter covers concrete in general terms, with sections on history, composition, production, properties etc. "Building with Concrete" deals specifically with using concrete as a construction material for homes and buidings, comparing it with other materials. It should be undeleted and linked to the general article on concrete —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skifree11 ( talk • contribs) 14:53, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the protection on Younus AlGohar. Have started an RFC about several related articles at: Talk:Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi#RFC: Long-running content disputes. Esowteric+ Talk 19:47, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the notification. But I've tried talking to those vandalists like a dozen times. I've requested them on their talk pages to discuss their dispute and difference in thoughts, but they never seem to reply and always go on about establishing the "truth" and that they are on the "right" path. They make unconstructive and innecessary edits to the Messiah Foundation International and Younus AlGohar articles because of some sectarian issues and lack to provide reliable and complete information on Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the article of his subject. Thus, I took out time to re-do the Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi, did some homework on him and related subjects and have constructed a sourced and well-kept article. Just waiting for support on the issue on the talk page.-- NY7 ☆ 19:56, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you've locked Messiah Foundation International after an edit Falconkhe made. He has changed the 'Leader' of MFI from Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi (which is cited around the article) to Younus AlGohar which is not cited nor correct according to organization itself, and this edit cannot be reverted as the article is locked, so if you could kindly make the change, it'd present correct information as well as cited information.

you recently deleted a post I made regarding the TTAP Methodology, for reasons that you said it seemed like a copyright violation, and that it read like an advertisement, however, as the material was created by the creator/developer of the TTAP method, a published author, researcher, college professor, doctor and fullbright scholar, the material could not have violated any copy right laws. Furthermore, with regard to your opinion that is seems like an advertisement - this is information on a methodolgy as well as information on how others can take advantage of the educational and practical aplication of the program, there is at no point in the article any mention of price and/or payments, thus eliminating it from being considered an advertisement.
Kindly advise as to what changes would be necessary in order to re-post this information.

Can you please help me understand why you closed the review I created for the 9/11 Truth Movement page? It is different than my previous review, because that was in regards to the Judy Wood page being deleted. Now, I am asking for a review that information about Dr. Wood gets added to the 9/11 Truth Movement page. Please help me. Can you please check out the following information and explain to me why it cannot be added to the 9/11 Truth Movement page?
Seeing as Dr. Judy Wood is the only person to have filed her evidence with the courts in pursuit of truth and justice, and also considering that one of her court cases made it all the way to the Supreme Court, I think it is fairly obvious that the following information needs to be included in the 9/11 Truth Movement Wikipedia Page:
1. I think that Dr. Judy Wood's Journal of 9/11 Research & 9/11 Issues needs to be included in the external links section alongside the other Journals of 9/11 Research.
2. I also think that her name needs to be included in the Adherents of the 9/11 Truth Movement, especially considering she is the only person to actually take legal action, in addition to scientific research, in pursuit of 9/11 truth.
3. I also think that her legal efforts, especially the Supreme Court case, needs to be included in the History of the 9/11 Truth Movement, as it was the only court-case ever filed in pursuit of 9/11 Truth, and it made it all the way to the Supreme Court.
In 2007, Dr. Judy Wood filed several legal cases against the National Institute of Standards & Technology's (NIST) contractors for science fraud, and legal requests that NIST’s fraudulent data gets reexamined.
[2] The filings in these legal cases included Requests For Corrections (RFC) based on the Data Quality Act
[3], and Qui Tam whistle-blower cases.
[4] Dr. Wood is the only 9/11 researcher who has submitted evidence to the courts in pursuit of the truth.
These are obviously supposed to be on this Wikipedia page, so I truly question the motives of those who are deleting this information. Her effort speaks for itself, and this information needs to be included in the 9/11 Truth Movement Wikipedia page for the sake of honesty and accuracy.
Please help.
Thank you,
-Abe

...well. I see you've now been blocked. I can't say I disagree with it, either. You spammed a number of pages with the same notability claims above, broadly accused editors here of working for some nefarious purposes, and you don't really seem like you want to listen to the advice that would have helped.

Hi, you appear to have put a block of the Tristan Tzara page regarding Tzara's demand to piss in different colors. Can you explain why you have taken the side that you have; a side which suppresses the pissing in different colors demand? I am dismayed regarding the inability of editors to communicate on this issue. There seems to be a refusal to recognize blatant verifiable facts. Despite my attempts to resolve the issue on the Tzara discussion page, there is no willingness of editors to address the issue in a fair-minded way. The false accusations of vandalism are very dishonest and manipulative. The pissing issue is not original research. Is there a voice of reason anywhere on Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.154.138 ( talk) 23:24, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
I can't argue with the description of "edit war" but as you can see from the Tzara history page there are frequent accusations of Vandalism and Original Research. Does the content of a Wikipedia article reflect logic or merely mob rule? I am in minority therefore my input appears doomed because I do not have mob rule on my side. I have attempted to discuss this issue on the Tzara discussion page but there was no reply to my recent comments left on March 12th 2010. Instead of a reply user Dahn simply persisted in reverting my edits and falsely accusing me of vandalism. This issue seems to be mainly with Dahn. I suspect Dahn has friends in high places within the Wikipedia hierarchy, and those friends simply take his side without looking at the facts of the matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.234.17 ( talk) 23:55, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
As I say... I think my lone voice of logic is doomed. Thankfully my voice is only doomed within Wikipedia. When I first contributed to the Tzara article I was simply being helpful adding important information that strangely was absent; the issue has now become something of a cause for me and I will fight on for justice. Consensual validation has no bearing upon logic. If two million people think it is good to drink poison or to believe in pixies, this doesn't make such actions or beliefs worthy, right, or wise. One day I will beat them at their own game. It may take a good few years but eventually I will ensure, via publicizing the pissing issue in mainstream media channels, that the world knows the truth about Tzara's demand to piss in different colors and then one day I will have mob rule on my side. Thanks for taking to the time to reply. Your feedback has been helpful. PS. I don't see any need to register for a Wikipedia account because it is very easy to edit and communicate without one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.234.17 ( talk) 00:34, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Some of your actions don't sit comfortably with me because your actions seem to indicate a lack of good faith. I resent your allegations which cast aspersions upon my character. Why did you protect the wrong version? Surely protecting the right version would make more sense? Yes I agree completely that Wikipedia is not a battleground but you and Wikipedia do recognize that it can become a battleground thus you have phrases such as "edit-war". I assure you I am not the aggressor but when people fail to act in a fair-minded, logical, or reasonable manner I will vehemently fight for justice via the appropriate channels. I am not disrupting Wikpedia to make a point. It is actually user Dahn who is disrupting Wikipedia to make some sort of point; and rather than protecting his edits it would make more sense if you protected my edits. I am saddened regarding people in authority within Wikipedia misconstruing my statements. This is not about using Wikipedia to right great wrongs; I am simply trying to present a unbiased version of Tzara's life based upon verifiability referenced from reputable sources, but to present a reliable article this issue has become a battle for justice and logic. Do you think I enjoy this petty nonsense regarding a certain editor who seems to see the entire Tzara article as his own personal authorship? Perhaps the Tzara article should credit Dahn for his input because it is basically his article... check the history and you will see he has made a massive amount of edits. I assure you if things don't go my way I will not persist with Wikipedia: I will bypass Wikipedia in my search for justice. It seems Wikipedia editors often like to think they are the ultimate authority on journalism and media but there is a world of journalism and media outside of the cliquey Wikipedia brotherhood. Thankfully Wikipedia editors do not have censorship powers outside of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.37.8 ( talk) 19:34, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Speaking of not reading things: You've obviously NOT read my contribution to the Tristan Tzara page because if you had you would not suggest I was attempting to right great wrongs. Really, your suggestion is ridiculous when you look at the facts.
Regarding the Tristan Tzara WP:WRONGVERSION which you protected, your internal link redirected to "The_wrong_version" [5] and at the top of that page is says: "This page contains material intended to be humorous. It should not be taken seriously or literally." I therefore didn't take it too seriously and didn't read every detail, which was apparently a mistake? When a page says you shouldn't take something too seriously you should obviously take it seriously (perhaps) because the order to not take it too seriously shouldn't be taken too seriously therefore it is serious. Perhaps all Wikipedia pages are not serious? Wikipedia seems to has a Kafkaesque love of absurd bureaucracy evidenced by almost endless pages of rules, regulations, and insider-jokes ( In-joke). It seemed the essence of the WP:WRONGVERSION page you referenced is that it is impossible to challenge a decision which protects the wrong version because any challenger will be assailed by a mountain of bureaucratic redirection intended to thwart any challenges, reminiscent of The Trial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.195.34 ( talk) 08:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
After the temporary protection for the Tzara page expires: my edit should be upheld if editors fail to engage in discussion. I have actually been waiting for a reply on the discussion page since around March 12th therefore I feel it is more than generous to give editors a couple more days to reply. When I say "editors" I really mean user 'Dahn' because this is basically an issue of my edits verses his edits, but he has occasionally gone running to other people for support. In the interests of a level playing field I would appreciate it if you didn't go a tell Dahn to respond to the Tzara discussion otherwise his edits will be superseded by mine regarding the pissing issue when the protection expires. If people are unable to engage in discussion then surely by default my arguments are correct and my points are validated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.195.34 ( talk) 09:57, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
I fear you are assuming the pissing issue is an attempt to right great wrongs but when you look at the facts and references you can see the pissing issue is well-documented in art history and theory by reputable theoreticians and historians. Please don't assume I am wrong.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.195.34 ( talk) 09:57, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
I really do get weary of your insults. You have accused me of not acting in good faith; you have accused me of trying to right great wrongs; you have also implied my edits lack verifiability and neutrality and that I am trying to promote original research and that I am trying to make some sort of point. When you ask if I have even convinced one editor; I wish to reiterate that there is really only one editor, Dahn; It is basically his article and he has a few cronies supporting his nonsense. Please forgive this edit [6] which was online for a few seconds before I removed it, but surely you can appreciate how your pigheadedness combined with offensive insults could lead someone to alter your page disrespectfully?... come on really, merely because I justifiably lost my temper for a few seconds that doesn't mean my entire argument is a "verbose trolling exercise". When you suggest I am trolling you are obviously, to my mind, being intentionally obtuse. The question is this: did Tzara demand the right to piss in different colors; and is such a demand well documented by respected academics, published by noteworthy publishing houses? The answer is yes on all counts. I think the reason people are difficult to convince regarding this matter is because when I highlight the verifiability of the pissing issue, via highlighting credible and reputable references, such references are ignored and I am accused of vandalism, promoting original research, etc etc etc. So until I can find the time to cut off the heads of the Hydra via opening a Kafkaesque RFC I suggest you permanently protect the wrong version because it is easier for me to reinsert the pissing issue instead of banging my head against the bureaucratic Wikipedia wall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.128.249 ( talk) 18:29, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Highly inaccurate. I have pointed out that you have made some accusations against others that seem to violate WP:AGF (do you really need examples of these?). I have pointed out that, by your own words, you have viewed this issue as something to battle over and I cautioned you that this is not appropriate. I have never implied that your edits lack verifiability and neutrality, only that you have not gained any sort of support for your inclusion. Tell me how these actions are inappropriate. Seriously, please go through my comments on this page and re-evaluate your responses to them...do you really think "cast[ing] aspersions upon [your] character" is an accurate description? Where are the "offensive insults"?You have accused me of not acting in good faith; you have accused me of trying to right great wrongs; you have also implied my edits lack verifiability and neutrality and that I am trying to promote original research and that I am trying to make some sort of point.
Truly I am perplexed regarding things you have wrote. How can I assume good faith of other editors when my utterly verifiable contributions from reputable sources are labeled acts of vandalism and original research? Do you really need examples of these? You ask where the offensive insults are... well for one your snide insinuation that I am trolling is offensive. You also described my comments on the Tzara discussion page as being "insipid" and you suggest my input is tendentious. I find it offensive that you generally see me as the aggressor, which leads you to remind me of how: "Content is required to meet policies on verifiability, neutrality, and original research..." by which you are implying my edits do not comply, which is insulting. Furthermore you say my accusations seem to violate WP:AGF but for the record you can see it was user Dahn who started calling my edits "nonsense" and "vandalism"; such offensive words seem to reject WP:AGF therefore I feel it is impossible to assume good faith of other editors when they have been the instigators of offensive comments. How can I assume good faith when an editor describes my edits as nonsense and vandalism despite my edits being utterly corroborated via numerous reputable sources of impeccable authenticity and renown?
My cheeky edit of you page which lasted a couple of seconds, and during those few seconds I am sure it was seen my nobody other than me, it was hardly a transgression; although due to the transitory nature of it you could possibly call it a thoughtcrime if you insist upon it being a transgression. It was only via looking back through a transient history that you became aware of my fleeting disrespect. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. If you looked deeper into my thoughts you would probably see deeper disrespect but on the surface I am being civil. So it is NOT really an "honest question" when you ask if I am trolling. You were searching for disrespect merely as tool to use against me. I was foolish to give you such scanty bait because I should have realized you would disproportionally jump upon the most microscopic pretext for criticizing me. Regarding the edit-war I am not the transgressor I am merely fighting a defending action therefore I suggest if the edit war continues you should level your condemnation against the aggressors. My reluctance to open the RFC is that I fear bias and favoritism exists within the Wikipedia Hierarchy therefore I imagine user Dahn will be successful regardless of evidence. The situation resembles a member of the public making a complaint against the police and the complaint is investigated by the police; the outcome will be biased because the police protect their own.
On a more constructive note I suspect Dahn maybe guilty of sockpuppetry. At the very least I would like to challenge the accusation of vandalism against me, which was made at "17:03, 2 April 2010 by Cptmurdok". Who is Cptmurdok and what led him to define my edit as vandalism? Is there any connection between Dahn and Cptmurdok? Can private correspondence between editors be examined as part of the RFC? I would like to know what strings are being pulled behind the scenes? Here is a good example of Dahn's unjustified tone when he corrects my edits: "02:08, 16 February 2010 Dahn (talk | contribs) (123,715 bytes) (rv - completely random, woefully overfocused (WP:UNDUE), not commented in any of the sources dealing with Tzara's life; borderline vandalism)."
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply and please forgive me if I've been tense or slightly confrontational when responding but some of the things Dahn has done really annoyed me; and then when you decided to protect his version I rightly or wrongly saw you as being in cahoots with Dahn... I saw you as another antagonist engaging in the edit-war. There is not much more to say but I will open a RFC at some point in the future although not just yet because I feel very worn out.
OH, there's one final thing to wanted to mention... some of things you say are contradictory, for example you say I should assume good faith but then you also say on your page assume makes an ass out you and me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.127.61 ( talk) 11:49, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
OK, I agree we are done. My future edits on the Tzara page will leave out the references to nihilism thus "the pissing in different colors demand" (at the first Dada Soirée July 14, 1916, Zurich) may seem more palatable to some editors. Anyway, thanks for your feedback; you have been helpful. Sorry if you felt stressed by our discussion. Regards 86.128.127.61 ( talk) 14:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)XVarn
A quick update regarding what I am currently considering for the Tzara article. I think before I submit a RFC I can refine my contribution. The following will be suitably referenced when I submit it for editorial approval:
In his Zurich Chronicle 1915-1919 (published in 1920) Tzara recollected how during the first Dada night at Waag Hall (on 14 July 1916) he demanded the right to piss in different colors: "...we demand the right to piss in different colors..." Tzara wrote regarding the first Dada night at Waag Hall.
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.0.104 ( talk • contribs)
I assure you it is not a factoid. Don't be so quick to judge. The relevance is chronological, historic, and insightful. Via mentioning the first Dada night, and the location Zurich, and by giving a flavor of what Tzara said, written in his own chronicle, I feel this is an concise description of a key stage in his life, worthy of inclusion. 86.128.0.104 ( talk) 14:20, 13 April 2010 (UTC)XVarn
The relevance could perhaps hinge upon the importance to which Tzara gave the demand. According to his chronicle, regarding the first Dada night (14 July 1916); the pissing in different colors demand was the first thing Tzara uttered therefore it seems he gave the demand some importance. Something said at the beginning of first night should surely be worthy inclusion even if it is titillating. Merely because something is titillating this shouldn't be cause to shy away from including such information. Perhaps pissing in different colors seems mundane by today's standards but today's standards are irrelevant; the demand shouldn't be included merely because it was once shocking. It should be included for the wealth of historical information it gives regarding Tzara and the mood of the times. 86.128.0.104 ( talk) 14:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)XVarn
Pissing in different colors is an archetypal Dadaist statement, thus purely as a conceptual artwork is it relevant. Many art historians and commentators considered Tzara's demand to be worthy of inclusion in their works, so perhaps I shall dig deeper and see what their justification was for including Tzara's demand. Tzara wrote in his Zurich chronicle: "For the first time anywhere. Guildhall 'zur Waag'. 1. Dada-night (music, dance, lectures, manifestos, poems, paintings, fancy dresses, masks). In the crowd of the audience Tzara demonstrates, we demand, we demand the right, to piss in various colours. Huelsenbeck demonstrates, Ball demonstrates, Arp 'Explanation', Janco 'My Paintings', Heusser 'Own Compositions'." (this translation differs form other translations slightly). This first Dada night seems to be an important event with many noteworthy artists in attendance thus the art performed is also important. 1916 was an key year regarding the evolution of Dada therefore the events around that time are likewise important. In the Tzara article[ [7]] it says: "The shows Tzara staged in Zürich often turned into scandals or riots, and he was in permanent conflict with the Swiss law enforcers.[62]" Pissing in different colors could be a good example of provocativeness.
Anyway, I'm busy at the moment, I will do more research and get back to you.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.0.104 ( talk • contribs)
I am thinking of revisiting this issue. Other artists have subsequently used piss in the their art or made references to urination ( Helen Chadwick: piss flowers. Marcel Duchamp: urinal ready-made, and Andy Warhol: piss paintings) but none of these artists directly mentions being influenced by Tzara's piss statement. Nevertheless I think the prominence of the statement at the beginning of Tzara's own Zurich Chronicle gives the statement the necessary weight for inclusion in the article. The piss statement is referenced in numerous art history books and in Tzara's own Zurich Chronicle therefore the statement should be included because it is a good example of archetypal Dada provocativeness. I look forward to your help regarding how to proceed with the wording and the appropriate place for insertion into the article.

Hi Scientizzle, I removed one use of the NIAID reference you added to the Peter Duesberg article, because it doesn't make any reference to Duesberg or his theories, and thus can't be used as a citation for the statement that his theories have been rejected by the scientific community. I left the second use of the citation in place (after noticing it because I temporarily broke it by removing the original one it referred to.) I'm letting you know because I know that articles on controversial topics and figures often have a long history behind some of the changes, and I wanted to explain my reasoning in more detail. I've started going over some of the other references in the article (prompted by some comments on the discussion page about many of them being broken or inaccessible behind paywalls) but most of them seem fine.

Greetings Scientizzle,
Our contribution, "Diaspora Movement of Kenya", was deleted. We feel that that was very unfair. Our research shows that the organization is spearheading a very difficult cause - a revolution - all to counter the corrupt regime and various atrocities up to and including crimes against humanity in Kenya. We find the deletion an atrocity itself and an affront to the struggle of the people of Kenya abroad. People have continously been killed in Kenya, funds have disappeared and no one has been made accountable - all this info in clearly on the internet and very verifiable. It appears that there is always an effort to "kill" democracy and civil rights fights as led by Kenyans in the Diaspora and it appears that Wikipedia has joined that club.
We want to re-write the article and repost it. Please advise.

My point was not to change the name to represent a shift in the field. In fact, these elements are called Long Interspersed Elements and Short Interspersed Elements by the vast majority (if not all) researchers in the field of mobile elements (of which, I am one). The terms "Long Interspersed Nuclear Element" and "Short Interspersed Nuclear Element" were first used by a researcher outside the mobile element field and unfortunately further propagated through various review articles (all written by researchers outside the field of mobile elements). That the term "nuclear" is a decent descriptor of DNA elements found interspersed in genomic DNA is irrelevant; of course there are no references showing the localization of mobile element DNA outside the nucleus, as (as far as I know) no DNA has been localized outside of the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell to date.

citations include: Anatomy of the Linux slab allocator "The slab allocator used in Linux is based on an algorithm first introduced by Jeff Bonwick for the SunOS operating system. Jeff's allocator revolves around object caching. Within a kernel, a considerable amount of memory is allocated for a finite set of objects such as file descriptors and other common structures. Jeff found that the amount of time required to initialize a regular object in the kernel exceeded the amount of time required to allocate and deallocate it. His conclusion was that instead of freeing the memory back to a global pool, he would have the memory remain initialized for its intended purpose. For example, if memory is being allocated for a mutex, the mutex initialization function (mutex_init) need only be performed once when the memory is first allocated for the mutex. Subsequent allocations of the memory need not perform the initialization because it's already in the desired state from the previous deallocation and call to the deconstructor. The Linux slab allocator uses these ideas and others to build a memory allocator that is efficient in both space and time. " http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-slab-allocator/

A discussion has begun about whether the article 2010 United States tomato shortage, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2010 United States tomato shortage until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Smartse ( talk) 11:50, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate your concern, but I use it to describe myself, since I have some Jewish ancestry.

Hi Scientizzle. Are you suggesting that the way in which the Burdock Group study is presented currently is not a POV-push, if indeed noting the funding of the study and the affiliations and previous history of all involved somehow is?

I look forward to your response. Dobyblue ( talk) 22:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
LNo. I'm suggesting that copying and pasting a large chunk of unattributed content of another site is not appropriate. Additionally, even if what had been posted wasn't a copyvio, it was improperly sourced to meet WP:MEDRS and WP:NOR. The amount of material did clearly not meet WP:UNDUE.

After all, I would expect that on her own user page she is entitled to her own opinion, right? (plus, she can be a little crazy at times, so please go easy on her).

I would like to contest the deletion of the "Walter Landberg" page. The page was meant to be entirely humourous, which was made very obvious. I am confused as to why this page was not allowed to exist, but other "humour" pages, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Centijimbos, are allowed to. Is there some kind of cliquish inter-wikipedia inside joke requirement for labeling pages as humour? The existence of the Centijimbo page even goes directly against this guideline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_for_things_made_up_one_day.

I played in the sandbox and felt comfortable enough to revise extensively the fen-phen page. Please note I put a COI statement on the discussion.
I used PMID for my articles and gave a link to the full copy. I do believe that my citation of an NIH protocol written by two eminent addiction leaders is as justified as the links on the wikileak page. This NIDA protocol is not classified but probably couldn't be obtained without a FOIA.
Of course, as a new author, I am proud of my virginal creation. Pat me on the back, if you wish.
After FEN/PHEN, I went on to develop another technique to stop addictive craving. It uses levodopa and 5-HTP. It works wonderfully. I gave a link above.

Stalking your edits? You think too highly of yourself. Your edits at Vaccine controversy were obtuse; it took me five minutes of research and writing to fix the "issue" that needed to be fixed (a {{ cn}} tag that had been added only a week prior). After actually doing something productive, I clicked on your contribs in Vaccine controversy article history and noticed your follow-up to being spectacularly unhelpful on the former article was the appallingly ignorant edit summary "not an english word so nobody would search it". I've explained on the talk page why I think your argument is stupid. Now, I think I've found a good solution for the Visio issue.
Regarding "rv": If I had wanted to refer to your edit as vandalism, I would have. I just reverted it. In our two interactions thus far, you have merely tried to remove content, and I have cleaned up after you. I'd say I'm in rather good form, actually.

If you look at the sleeve for Marc & TM album 'Torment & Torreros' it states that the Mambas are Marc Almond, Anne Hogan and Steve Sherlock (steve was not a session man - he was integral the the band- To dismiss him as a 'bit' player is simply wrong.

First and Foremost I would like to thank you personally for the time and practical help given to me. People like you make Wikipedia Great – Thank you. I have taken on board your helpful suggestions and have chosen to go down the ‘reliable sources’ route. It’s not easy as much that was written about this period is consigned to publications like Sounds/The Face/NME/Melody Maker – and little of this exists online for general referencing. There are good sources to be found (such as the Peel Wikia) but unfortunately this is unsuitable. Some publications have been published about this musical era but generally they skirt around the issues and exclude much information. A biography on The The has yet to be published – Thankfully Marc Almonds biography – Tainted Life has. There is a great reference to Steve and Neu Electrikk in the fantastic book publication 45 Revolutions. I have spent some time researching suitable sources to highlight the article. I might add, I did have first-hand experience of the subject matter having lived in London at the time and befriended many of the musicians mentioned.
I am still a relative novice to Wikipedia and hope that some of this research proves appropriate. Thank you
Steve James Sherlock

Hi Scientizzle. Would you consider undeleting Jill Whalen and relisting it for a more thorough discussion? The deletion discussion was started by an editor with some sort of bias against SEOs, [35] and there were only three thin comments. Those of us involved in editing the article were never notified about the deletion discussion. A quick search on the topic in Google Books returns multiple solid hits. http://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Jill+Whalen%22 Ignore the stuff on Celtic Tales; go to the bottom of the first page of results, and continue to the second page. There is plenty there to write an article, and more could be found in web-based sources. Jehochman Talk 13:01, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Dear Scientizzle,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool.
For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 18:30, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello Scientizzle. The thread about Mccready may need to be refocused. To clarify matters, I am thinking of making an entry in WP:RESTRICT to record the current status of the (unexpired) topic ban that was imposed in May, 2008, per a discussion that you closed back then. Please comment on this draft entry:
User | Type | Sanction (quoted verbatim) |
Special Enforcement Details | Expiration Date |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mccready | Topic ban |
|
|
Indefinite |
His probation on pseudoscience and alternative medicine was only for one year, and it expired in May, 2009. I'm not 100% sure what the following sentence is supposed to apply to: "He must explain all reverts except blatant vandalism on the article's talk page and he is warned against further disruption, such as ignoring consensus or edit warring". If you think that applies to ALL articles, then maybe a separate restriction should be added to the table. Unless anyone sees a mistake in this version, I am planning to go ahead and add it to the table. If the current AN thread lifts or modifies his restriction, the entry can be modified then. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 16:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
— Scien tizzle 20:45, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Mccready is indefinitely banned from all acupuncture- and chiropractic-related topics, broadly construed, except reversion of blatant vandalism.
OK, how's this? I believe that verbatim is not always followed literally in this table, except that the actual text of any restrictive clauses ought to be kept. The clause about vandalism may not be needed, and it may have been part of his expired probation, anyway.

I am an employee at the community renewal society and I would like to post a history of our organization on the wikipedia. some of the content is based on our website history and a community renewal society 1882-1982 100 years of service, a book published by the Chicago review press. Here is the content i would like to publish: does it meet wikipedia guidelines?
Community Renewal Society formally known as the Chicago City Missionary Society was founded in December 14, 1882 by Caleb F. Gates, Silas M. Moore, Robert E. Jenkins, F.S. Hanson, William E. Hale, Fredrick G. Ensign and Burke F. Leavitt. The laypersons and clergymen wanted to promote religion and morality in Chicago.
Since its creation, Community Renewal Society has adapted to the changing needs of Chicago and it continues to offer innovative approaches to deeply rooted urban problems.
Today, Community Renewal Society provides leadership and support in several areas including: public housing, education, criminal justice, youth advocacy and senior issues.
“To me there is greater pleasure in the power to relieve the wants of the truly needy than in aught else I know of,” said Gates, first president of the Community Renewal Society.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Community Renewal Society helped create and shape the religious infrastructure for newly arrived immigrants through the founding of churches, schools and settlement houses.
During the great depression of the 1930s, Community Renewal Society's network of congregations and communities worked with the politicians to create solutions to deepening social and economic problems of that time.
In the 1960s, as the demand for an end to segregation gathered momentum, Community Renewal Society trained thousands of clergy and lay persons in the Civil Rights Movement to promote racial understanding and urban ministry, both locally and nationally.
For the last 38 years, Community Renewal Society has provided investigative reporting on issues of education, politics, housing, crime, social justice and economic conditions through its award winning publications: The Chicago Reporter and Catalyst Chicago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by R.perry.t ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I see that on 20 Nov 2009 you put a Notability tag on this article. I've just found 12 other references to the book in Wikipedia, to which I've added links. Does this satisfy your criterion for notability? I see you've also put an 'original research' tag on this and am a bit puzzled by it. The only research I did, apart from reading the book, was to follow up one of the references. Could you explain what needs to be done? There are 3 references in what is yet a quite short article.

My new article "Building with Concrete" has been deleted, apparently because there is already an article on concrete on Wikipedia.

Hi, thanks for the notification. But I've tried talking to those vandalists like a dozen times. I've requested them on their talk pages to discuss their dispute and difference in thoughts, but they never seem to reply and always go on about establishing the "truth" and that they are on the "right" path. They make unconstructive and innecessary edits to the Messiah Foundation International and Younus AlGohar articles because of some sectarian issues and lack to provide reliable and complete information on Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the article of his subject. Thus, I took out time to re-do the Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi, did some homework on him and related subjects and have constructed a sourced and well-kept article.

Hi, you've locked Messiah Foundation International after an edit Falconkhe made.

you recently deleted a post I made regarding the TTAP Methodology, for reasons that you said it seemed like a copyright violation, and that it read like an advertisement, however, as the material was created by the creator/developer of the TTAP method, a published author, researcher, college professor, doctor and fullbright scholar, the material could not have violated any copy right laws. Furthermore, with regard to your opinion that is seems like an advertisement - this is information on a methodolgy as well as information on how others can take advantage of the educational and practical aplication of the program, there is at no point in the article any mention of price and/or payments, thus eliminating it from being considered an advertisement.
Kindly advise as to what changes would be necessary in order to re-post this information.

Can you please help me understand why you closed the review I created for the 9/11 Truth Movement page? It is different than my previous review, because that was in regards to the Judy Wood page being deleted. Now, I am asking for a review that information about Dr. Wood gets added to the 9/11 Truth Movement page. Please help me. Can you please check out the following information and explain to me why it cannot be added to the 9/11 Truth Movement page?
Seeing as Dr. Judy Wood is the only person to have filed her evidence with the courts in pursuit of truth and justice, and also considering that one of her court cases made it all the way to the Supreme Court, I think it is fairly obvious that the following information needs to be included in the 9/11 Truth Movement Wikipedia Page:
1. I think that Dr. Judy Wood's Journal of 9/11 Research & 9/11 Issues needs to be included in the external links section alongside the other Journals of 9/11 Research.
2. I also think that her name needs to be included in the Adherents of the 9/11 Truth Movement, especially considering she is the only person to actually take legal action, in addition to scientific research, in pursuit of 9/11 truth.
3. I also think that her legal efforts, especially the Supreme Court case, needs to be included in the History of the 9/11 Truth Movement, as it was the only court-case ever filed in pursuit of 9/11 Truth, and it made it all the way to the Supreme Court.
In 2007, Dr. Judy Wood filed several legal cases against the National Institute of Standards & Technology's (NIST) contractors for science fraud, and legal requests that NIST’s fraudulent data gets reexamined.
[2] The filings in these legal cases included Requests For Corrections (RFC) based on the Data Quality Act
[3], and Qui Tam whistle-blower cases.
[4] Dr. Wood is the only 9/11 researcher who has submitted evidence to the courts in pursuit of the truth.
These are obviously supposed to be on this Wikipedia page, so I truly question the motives of those who are deleting this information. Her effort speaks for itself, and this information needs to be included in the 9/11 Truth Movement Wikipedia page for the sake of honesty and accuracy.
Please help.
Thank you,

Hi, you appear to have put a block of the Tristan Tzara page regarding Tzara's demand to piss in different colors. Can you explain why you have taken the side that you have; a side which suppresses the pissing in different colors demand? I am dismayed regarding the inability of editors to communicate on this issue. There seems to be a refusal to recognize blatant verifiable facts. Despite my attempts to resolve the issue on the Tzara discussion page, there is no willingness of editors to address the issue in a fair-minded way. The false accusations of vandalism are very dishonest and manipulative. The pissing issue is not original research. Is there a voice of reason anywhere on Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.154.138 ( talk) 23:24, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
I can't argue with the description of "edit war" but as you can see from the Tzara history page there are frequent accusations of Vandalism and Original Research. Does the content of a Wikipedia article reflect logic or merely mob rule? I am in minority therefore my input appears doomed because I do not have mob rule on my side. I have attempted to discuss this issue on the Tzara discussion page but there was no reply to my recent comments left on March 12th 2010. Instead of a reply user Dahn simply persisted in reverting my edits and falsely accusing me of vandalism. This issue seems to be mainly with Dahn. I suspect Dahn has friends in high places within the Wikipedia hierarchy, and those friends simply take his side without looking at the facts of the matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.234.17 ( talk) 23:55, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
As I say... I think my lone voice of logic is doomed. Thankfully my voice is only doomed within Wikipedia. When I first contributed to the Tzara article I was simply being helpful adding important information that strangely was absent; the issue has now become something of a cause for me and I will fight on for justice. Consensual validation has no bearing upon logic. If two million people think it is good to drink poison or to believe in pixies, this doesn't make such actions or beliefs worthy, right, or wise. One day I will beat them at their own game. It may take a good few years but eventually I will ensure, via publicizing the pissing issue in mainstream media channels, that the world knows the truth about Tzara's demand to piss in different colors and then one day I will have mob rule on my side. Thanks for taking to the time to reply. Your feedback has been helpful. PS. I don't see any need to register for a Wikipedia account because it is very easy to edit and communicate without one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.234.17 ( talk) 00:34, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Some of your actions don't sit comfortably with me because your actions seem to indicate a lack of good faith. I resent your allegations which cast aspersions upon my character. Why did you protect the wrong version? Surely protecting the right version would make more sense? Yes I agree completely that Wikipedia is not a battleground but you and Wikipedia do recognize that it can become a battleground thus you have phrases such as "edit-war". I assure you I am not the aggressor but when people fail to act in a fair-minded, logical, or reasonable manner I will vehemently fight for justice via the appropriate channels. I am not disrupting Wikpedia to make a point. It is actually user Dahn who is disrupting Wikipedia to make some sort of point; and rather than protecting his edits it would make more sense if you protected my edits. I am saddened regarding people in authority within Wikipedia misconstruing my statements. This is not about using Wikipedia to right great wrongs; I am simply trying to present a unbiased version of Tzara's life based upon verifiability referenced from reputable sources, but to present a reliable article this issue has become a battle for justice and logic. Do you think I enjoy this petty nonsense regarding a certain editor who seems to see the entire Tzara article as his own personal authorship? Perhaps the Tzara article should credit Dahn for his input because it is basically his article... check the history and you will see he has made a massive amount of edits. I assure you if things don't go my way I will not persist with Wikipedia: I will bypass Wikipedia in my search for justice. It seems Wikipedia editors often like to think they are the ultimate authority on journalism and media but there is a world of journalism and media outside of the cliquey Wikipedia brotherhood. Thankfully Wikipedia editors do not have censorship powers outside of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.37.8 ( talk) 19:34, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Speaking of not reading things: You've obviously NOT read my contribution to the Tristan Tzara page because if you had you would not suggest I was attempting to right great wrongs. Really, your suggestion is ridiculous when you look at the facts.
Regarding the Tristan Tzara WP:WRONGVERSION which you protected, your internal link redirected to "The_wrong_version" [5] and at the top of that page is says: "This page contains material intended to be humorous. It should not be taken seriously or literally." I therefore didn't take it too seriously and didn't read every detail, which was apparently a mistake? When a page says you shouldn't take something too seriously you should obviously take it seriously (perhaps) because the order to not take it too seriously shouldn't be taken too seriously therefore it is serious. Perhaps all Wikipedia pages are not serious? Wikipedia seems to has a Kafkaesque love of absurd bureaucracy evidenced by almost endless pages of rules, regulations, and insider-jokes ( In-joke). It seemed the essence of the WP:WRONGVERSION page you referenced is that it is impossible to challenge a decision which protects the wrong version because any challenger will be assailed by a mountain of bureaucratic redirection intended to thwart any challenges, reminiscent of The Trial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.195.34 ( talk) 08:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
After the temporary protection for the Tzara page expires: my edit should be upheld if editors fail to engage in discussion. I have actually been waiting for a reply on the discussion page since around March 12th therefore I feel it is more than generous to give editors a couple more days to reply. When I say "editors" I really mean user 'Dahn' because this is basically an issue of my edits verses his edits, but he has occasionally gone running to other people for support. In the interests of a level playing field I would appreciate it if you didn't go a tell Dahn to respond to the Tzara discussion otherwise his edits will be superseded by mine regarding the pissing issue when the protection expires. If people are unable to engage in discussion then surely by default my arguments are correct and my points are validated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.195.34 ( talk) 09:57, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
I fear you are assuming the pissing issue is an attempt to right great wrongs but when you look at the facts and references you can see the pissing issue is well-documented in art history and theory by reputable theoreticians and historians. Please don't assume I am wrong.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.195.34 ( talk) 09:57, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
I really do get weary of your insults. You have accused me of not acting in good faith; you have accused me of trying to right great wrongs; you have also implied my edits lack verifiability and neutrality and that I am trying to promote original research and that I am trying to make some sort of point. When you ask if I have even convinced one editor; I wish to reiterate that there is really only one editor, Dahn; It is basically his article and he has a few cronies supporting his nonsense. Please forgive this edit [6] which was online for a few seconds before I removed it, but surely you can appreciate how your pigheadedness combined with offensive insults could lead someone to alter your page disrespectfully?... come on really, merely because I justifiably lost my temper for a few seconds that doesn't mean my entire argument is a "verbose trolling exercise". When you suggest I am trolling you are obviously, to my mind, being intentionally obtuse. The question is this: did Tzara demand the right to piss in different colors; and is such a demand well documented by respected academics, published by noteworthy publishing houses? The answer is yes on all counts. I think the reason people are difficult to convince regarding this matter is because when I highlight the verifiability of the pissing issue, via highlighting credible and reputable references, such references are ignored and I am accused of vandalism, promoting original research, etc etc etc. So until I can find the time to cut off the heads of the Hydra via opening a Kafkaesque RFC I suggest you permanently protect the wrong version because it is easier for me to reinsert the pissing issue instead of banging my head against the bureaucratic Wikipedia wall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.128.249 ( talk) 18:29, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Highly inaccurate. I have pointed out that you have made some accusations against others that seem to violate WP:AGF (do you really need examples of these?). I have pointed out that, by your own words, you have viewed this issue as something to battle over and I cautioned you that this is not appropriate. I have never implied that your edits lack verifiability and neutrality, only that you have not gained any sort of support for your inclusion. Tell me how these actions are inappropriate. Seriously, please go through my comments on this page and re-evaluate your responses to them...do you really think "cast[ing] aspersions upon [your] character" is an accurate description? Where are the "offensive insults"?You have accused me of not acting in good faith; you have accused me of trying to right great wrongs; you have also implied my edits lack verifiability and neutrality and that I am trying to promote original research and that I am trying to make some sort of point.
Truly I am perplexed regarding things you have wrote. How can I assume good faith of other editors when my utterly verifiable contributions from reputable sources are labeled acts of vandalism and original research? Do you really need examples of these? You ask where the offensive insults are... well for one your snide insinuation that I am trolling is offensive. You also described my comments on the Tzara discussion page as being "insipid" and you suggest my input is tendentious. I find it offensive that you generally see me as the aggressor, which leads you to remind me of how: "Content is required to meet policies on verifiability, neutrality, and original research..." by which you are implying my edits do not comply, which is insulting. Furthermore you say my accusations seem to violate WP:AGF but for the record you can see it was user Dahn who started calling my edits "nonsense" and "vandalism"; such offensive words seem to reject WP:AGF therefore I feel it is impossible to assume good faith of other editors when they have been the instigators of offensive comments. How can I assume good faith when an editor describes my edits as nonsense and vandalism despite my edits being utterly corroborated via numerous reputable sources of impeccable authenticity and renown?
My cheeky edit of you page which lasted a couple of seconds, and during those few seconds I am sure it was seen my nobody other than me, it was hardly a transgression; although due to the transitory nature of it you could possibly call it a thoughtcrime if you insist upon it being a transgression. It was only via looking back through a transient history that you became aware of my fleeting disrespect. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. If you looked deeper into my thoughts you would probably see deeper disrespect but on the surface I am being civil. So it is NOT really an "honest question" when you ask if I am trolling. You were searching for disrespect merely as tool to use against me. I was foolish to give you such scanty bait because I should have realized you would disproportionally jump upon the most microscopic pretext for criticizing me. Regarding the edit-war I am not the transgressor I am merely fighting a defending action therefore I suggest if the edit war continues you should level your condemnation against the aggressors. My reluctance to open the RFC is that I fear bias and favoritism exists within the Wikipedia Hierarchy therefore I imagine user Dahn will be successful regardless of evidence. The situation resembles a member of the public making a complaint against the police and the complaint is investigated by the police; the outcome will be biased because the police protect their own.
On a more constructive note I suspect Dahn maybe guilty of sockpuppetry. At the very least I would like to challenge the accusation of vandalism against me, which was made at "17:03, 2 April 2010 by Cptmurdok". Who is Cptmurdok and what led him to define my edit as vandalism? Is there any connection between Dahn and Cptmurdok? Can private correspondence between editors be examined as part of the RFC? I would like to know what strings are being pulled behind the scenes? Here is a good example of Dahn's unjustified tone when he corrects my edits: "02:08, 16 February 2010 Dahn (talk | contribs) (123,715 bytes) (rv - completely random, woefully overfocused (WP:UNDUE), not commented in any of the sources dealing with Tzara's life; borderline vandalism)."
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply and please forgive me if I've been tense or slightly confrontational when responding but some of the things Dahn has done really annoyed me; and then when you decided to protect his version I rightly or wrongly saw you as being in cahoots with Dahn... I saw you as another antagonist engaging in the edit-war. There is not much more to say but I will open a RFC at some point in the future although not just yet because I feel very worn out.
OH, there's one final thing to wanted to mention... some of things you say are contradictory, for example you say I should assume good faith but then you also say on your page assume makes an ass out you and me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.127.61 ( talk) 11:49, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
OK, I agree we are done. My future edits on the Tzara page will leave out the references to nihilism thus "the pissing in different colors demand" (at the first Dada Soirée July 14, 1916, Zurich) may seem more palatable to some editors. Anyway, thanks for your feedback; you have been helpful. Sorry if you felt stressed by our discussion. Regards 86.128.127.61 ( talk) 14:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)XVarn
A quick update regarding what I am currently considering for the Tzara article. I think before I submit a RFC I can refine my contribution. The following will be suitably referenced when I submit it for editorial approval:
In his Zurich Chronicle 1915-1919 (published in 1920) Tzara recollected how during the first Dada night at Waag Hall (on 14 July 1916) he demanded the right to piss in different colors: "...we demand the right to piss in different colors..." Tzara wrote regarding the first Dada night at Waag Hall.
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.0.104 ( talk • contribs)
I assure you it is not a factoid. Don't be so quick to judge. The relevance is chronological, historic, and insightful. Via mentioning the first Dada night, and the location Zurich, and by giving a flavor of what Tzara said, written in his own chronicle, I feel this is an concise description of a key stage in his life, worthy of inclusion. 86.128.0.104 ( talk) 14:20, 13 April 2010 (UTC)XVarn
The relevance could perhaps hinge upon the importance to which Tzara gave the demand. According to his chronicle, regarding the first Dada night (14 July 1916); the pissing in different colors demand was the first thing Tzara uttered therefore it seems he gave the demand some importance. Something said at the beginning of first night should surely be worthy inclusion even if it is titillating. Merely because something is titillating this shouldn't be cause to shy away from including such information. Perhaps pissing in different colors seems mundane by today's standards but today's standards are irrelevant; the demand shouldn't be included merely because it was once shocking. It should be included for the wealth of historical information it gives regarding Tzara and the mood of the times. 86.128.0.104 ( talk) 14:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)XVarn
Pissing in different colors is an archetypal Dadaist statement, thus purely as a conceptual artwork is it relevant. Many art historians and commentators considered Tzara's demand to be worthy of inclusion in their works, so perhaps I shall dig deeper and see what their justification was for including Tzara's demand. Tzara wrote in his Zurich chronicle: "For the first time anywhere. Guildhall 'zur Waag'. 1. Dada-night (music, dance, lectures, manifestos, poems, paintings, fancy dresses, masks). In the crowd of the audience Tzara demonstrates, we demand, we demand the right, to piss in various colours. Huelsenbeck demonstrates, Ball demonstrates, Arp 'Explanation', Janco 'My Paintings', Heusser 'Own Compositions'." (this translation differs form other translations slightly). This first Dada night seems to be an important event with many noteworthy artists in attendance thus the art performed is also important. 1916 was an key year regarding the evolution of Dada therefore the events around that time are likewise important. In the Tzara article[ [7]] it says: "The shows Tzara staged in Zürich often turned into scandals or riots, and he was in permanent conflict with the Swiss law enforcers.[62]" Pissing in different colors could be a good example of provocativeness.
Anyway, I'm busy at the moment, I will do more research and get back to you.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.0.104 ( talk • contribs)
I am thinking of revisiting this issue. Other artists have subsequently used piss in the their art or made references to urination ( Helen Chadwick: piss flowers. Marcel Duchamp: urinal ready-made, and Andy Warhol: piss paintings) but none of these artists directly mentions being influenced by Tzara's piss statement. Nevertheless I think the prominence of the statement at the beginning of Tzara's own Zurich Chronicle gives the statement the necessary weight for inclusion in the article. The piss statement is referenced in numerous art history books and in Tzara's own Zurich Chronicle therefore the statement should be included because it is a good example of archetypal Dada provocativeness. I look forward to your help regarding how to proceed with the wording and the appropriate place for insertion into the article.

Hi Scientizzle, I removed one use of the NIAID reference you added to the Peter Duesberg article, because it doesn't make any reference to Duesberg or his theories, and thus can't be used as a citation for the statement that his theories have been rejected by the scientific community.

Greetings Scientizzle,
Our contribution, "Diaspora Movement of Kenya", was deleted. We feel that that was very unfair. Our research shows that the organization is spearheading a very difficult cause - a revolution - all to counter the corrupt regime and various atrocities up to and including crimes against humanity in Kenya. We find the deletion an atrocity itself and an affront to the struggle of the people of Kenya abroad. People have continously been killed in Kenya, funds have disappeared and no one has been made accountable - all this info in clearly on the internet and very verifiable. It appears that there is always an effort to "kill" democracy and civil rights fights as led by Kenyans in the Diaspora and it appears that Wikipedia has joined that club.
We want to re-write the article and repost it. Please advise.

My point was not to change the name to represent a shift in the field. In fact, these elements are called Long Interspersed Elements and Short Interspersed Elements by the vast majority (if not all) researchers in the field of mobile elements (of which, I am one). The terms "Long Interspersed Nuclear Element" and "Short Interspersed Nuclear Element" were first used by a researcher outside the mobile element field and unfortunately further propagated through various review articles (all written by researchers outside the field of mobile elements). That the term "nuclear" is a decent descriptor of DNA elements found interspersed in genomic DNA is irrelevant; of course there are no references showing the localization of mobile element DNA outside the nucleus, as (as far as I know) no DNA has been localized outside of the nucleus in a eukaryotic cell to date.

Hello Scientizzle,
I have drafted a new posting for Irene Gauthier. I read the comments you made in regard to past articles of reference and agree. Apparently there are multiple articles similar to the new ones I cited in my submission. However they are "archived" in the individual newspapers and tv websites and require a payment to access. I have wanted to help get this straightened out for this wonderful woman for some time and will slowly pay to have those articles available as well. In the mean time I would appreciate your comments on my new references and if I am heading in the right direction.
Thanks, --Derek1974 Derek1974 ( talk) 17:08, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Who do you think you are getting rid of bill hick's biography, it does exist just to let you know, so it should be on wikipedia! moron—Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.163.228.227 ( talk • contribs)
Just wanted to know, Scientizzle, why did you delete information on the 2010 Bill Hicks movie, American: The Bill Hicks Story? There is a reference to G3 Vandalism. Did you commit the vandalism by removing the page - or are you saying the page was vandalism and you removed it. So it's true that any idiot can change a Wiki page? I notice your page has angry threats and it's been vandalized >>100 times...so I was just wondering what was up with you. And I had to register with Wiki which was a royal pain, just to find out why you deleted Bill's movie, so I hope you answer...thank you.

citations include: Anatomy of the Linux slab allocator "The slab allocator used in Linux is based on an algorithm first introduced by Jeff Bonwick for the SunOS operating system. Jeff's allocator revolves around object caching. Within a kernel, a considerable amount of memory is allocated for a finite set of objects such as file descriptors and other common structures. Jeff found that the amount of time required to initialize a regular object in the kernel exceeded the amount of time required to allocate and deallocate it. His conclusion was that instead of freeing the memory back to a global pool, he would have the memory remain initialized for its intended purpose. For example, if memory is being allocated for a mutex, the mutex initialization function (mutex_init) need only be performed once when the memory is first allocated for the mutex. Subsequent allocations of the memory need not perform the initialization because it's already in the desired state from the previous deallocation and call to the deconstructor. The Linux slab allocator uses these ideas and others to build a memory allocator that is efficient in both space and time. " http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-slab-allocator/

Is there some kind of cliquish inter-wikipedia inside joke requirement for labeling pages as humour? The existence of the Centijimbo page even goes directly against this guideline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_for_things_made_up_one_day.

I played in the sandbox and felt comfortable enough to revise extensively the fen-phen page. Please note I put a COI statement on the discussion.
I used PMID for my articles and gave a link to the full copy. I do believe that my citation of an NIH protocol written by two eminent addiction leaders is as justified as the links on the wikileak page. This NIDA protocol is not classified but probably couldn't be obtained without a FOIA.
Of course, as a new author, I am proud of my virginal creation. Pat me on the back, if you wish.
After FEN/PHEN, I went on to develop another technique to stop addictive craving. It uses levodopa and 5-HTP. It works wonderfully. I gave a link above. One trick to avoid L-aromatic acid decarboxylase is to absorb the precursors thru the mouth. This, serendipitously, permits one to titrate by taste. Unfortunately, I can't and shouldn't put my hypotheses on Wiki. PietrH ( talk) 18:29, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I've noticed you're performing clean-up, I don't want to encrouch upon your activity, but I have noticed that there is India missing although New Scientist source states: "A British Council poll of 10,000 people in 10 countries has revealed that creationism is strongest in the US, South Africa and India, with 43 per cent in each country agreeing that God created life in its present form." Please add it up if you agree...Thanx -- Stephfo ( talk) 22:53, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
I guess we'll have to keep an eye on that. I noticed your work on it, which is appreciated. I left a note on the talk page. I don't know how many IPs and new accounts will look at that, but I hope that some will and that it doesn't get out of hand. Thanks! Drmies ( talk) 16:22, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

You're obviously stalking my edits so you'll see this pretty quickly, but I thought to formally notify you of the discussion here. 68.54.4.162 ( talk) 18:44, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Stalking your edits? You think too highly of yourself. Your edits at Vaccine controversy were obtuse; it took me five minutes of research and writing to fix the "issue" that needed to be fixed (a {{ cn}} tag that had been added only a week prior). After actually doing something productive, I clicked on your contribs in Vaccine controversy article history and noticed your follow-up to being spectacularly unhelpful on the former article was the appallingly ignorant edit summary "not an english word so nobody would search it". I've explained on the talk page why I think your argument is stupid. Now, I think I've found a good solution for the Visio issue.
Regarding "rv": If I had wanted to refer to your edit as vandalism, I would have. I just reverted it. In our two interactions thus far, you have merely tried to remove content, and I have cleaned up after you. I'd say I'm in rather good form, actually. Cheers, — Scien tizzle 19:48, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi. You closed WP:Articles for deletion/Three Act Tragedy, Agatha Christie's Poirot as delete & redirect. I'm wondering why you created the redirects, as delete supporters argued that they were not useful. The only incoming links ( Three Act Tragedy, The Clocks, Halloween Party) in article space are circular links in the novels' hatnotes. Thanks. Flatscan ( talk) 04:18, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
I want to delete this username. Searched "delete user name" without success. Is there a straightforward way? TomLehrer ( talk) 20:03, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
Sad to see the article on Steve James Sherlock has been deleted. A great deal of work went into the work - i felt the comments on 'why' it was deleted rather ignorant or dismissive. Steve did contribute to 2 major international music acts. Marc and the Mambas did only last a -year - however their work has been highlighted by the likes of Antony and the Johnsons as a major influence. If you look at the sleeve for Marc & TM album 'Torment & Torreros' it states that the Mambas are Marc Almond, Anne Hogan and Steve Sherlock (steve was not a session man - he was integral the the band- To dismiss him as a 'bit' player is simply wrong. As for The The - Steve knew MattJohnson for many years - he played live and recorded with Matt Johnson. Steve Sherlock is indeed notable and Wikipedia is a loss without him. I do hope the page is reinstated.Thank you ' 86.155.144.40 ( talk) 17:02, 5 September 2011 (UTC)'
I do believe dicussion was wrongly decided and would like to see the article reinstated. What do you suggest? Many thanks 86.155.144.40 ( talk) 21:37, 5 September 2011 (UTC)Not done. The article was deleted as a result of the deletion discussion at WP:Articles for deletion/Steve James Sherlock so, as stated at the top of this page, it will not be undeleted here. If you believe the discussion was wrongly decided, or you have new information, you should first aproach user Scientizzle (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion; then, if your concers are not addressed, you can go to WP:Deletion review.

First and Foremost I would like to thank you personally for the time and practical help given to me. People like you make Wikipedia Great – Thank you. I have taken on board your helpful suggestions and have chosen to go down the ‘reliable sources’ route. It’s not easy as much that was written about this period is consigned to publications like Sounds/The Face/NME/Melody Maker – and little of this exists online for general referencing. There are good sources to be found (such as the Peel Wikia) but unfortunately this is unsuitable. Some publications have been published about this musical era but generally they skirt around the issues and exclude much information. A biography on The The has yet to be published – Thankfully Marc Almonds biography – Tainted Life has. There is a great reference to Steve and Neu Electrikk in the fantastic book publication 45 Revolutions. I have spent some time researching suitable sources to highlight the article. I might add, I did have first-hand experience of the subject matter having lived in London at the time and befriended many of the musicians mentioned.
I am still a relative novice to Wikipedia and hope that some of this research proves appropriate. Thank you
Steve James Sherlock

Hmmm...I'm not confident the article would pass WP:BIO/ WP:MUSIC just yet--a lot of the sources are iffy in meeting WP:RS requirements. I'm not sure I'll be able to help much, unfortunately, as I've got a lot of personal obligations coming up. Keep up the good work. — Scien tizzle 15:27, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Scientizzle. Would you consider undeleting Jill Whalen and relisting it for a more thorough discussion? The deletion discussion was started by an editor with some sort of bias against SEOs, [35] and there were only three thin comments. Those of us involved in editing the article were never notified about the deletion discussion. A quick search on the topic in Google Books returns multiple solid hits. http://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Jill+Whalen%22 Ignore the stuff on Celtic Tales; go to the bottom of the first page of results, and continue to the second page. There is plenty there to write an article, and more could be found in web-based sources. Jehochman Talk 13:01, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Dear Scientizzle,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ([[User talk:Jaobar|talk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.9.34.167 ( talk) 21:29, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Hey there :). You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool.
For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 18:30, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
