I'm a reporter working on a story idea about ideologically charged Wikipedia pages. Those that fit the bill include: George W. Bush's page, the page on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the page on The Armenian Genocide and pages on Creationism and Evolution. I see that you’ve worked on the Abortion page. I was wondering if you might be willing to talk to me about the challenges of keeping pages like this up and unlocked. If you have any thoughts on tracking down the right person to talk to for a story like this, please shoot them my way. You can get me here: matt.phillips@wsj.com

I am sorry for the first time, but still, I think it makes more since to call it a baby because it is, it is not my own personal opinion, isn't that what everyone calls it, a fetus is a baby and using the word baby is more comprihenisible. CamelHammel 03:43, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your words of encouragement. In case it wasn't clear, I never intended to leave wikipedia, or even WikiProject Abortion. I was just stressed over some recent edits of fetus, and decided to ignore that page for a bit. I felt like interpersonal conflict and past history between me and another user were getting in the way of progress. I'm still not happy with the current state of a few articles, but its better for my personal wellbeing to ignore the user and avoid the emotional stress. Thanks again for your comment.- Andrew c 19:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with the abortion in Israel article. I saw that there were several other abortion by country articles and thought that Israel's partially legalized approach would be of interest to many. I'm curious as to why you removed the citation templates I used, however. Is there a policy/guideline against using {{ cite}}? I quite like it.
Regarding public opinion in Israel, I'm not surprised you couldn't find any data. The topic is not high on the public agenda. There are one or two anti-abortion lobbies, "Efrat" providesfinancial aid and "Lilach", an organization I'm less familiar with, has a website at BeadChaim.org.il (be'ad chayim means "for life" in Hebrew). The name "lilach" seems to be,not a reference to the flower, but a contraction of "for me" and "for you" in Hebrew. The site seems primarily education-oriented, although I'm not certain how accurate their information is.
Pro-choice advocacy in Israel is equally rare. The two parties most likely to be involved are the recently-defunct Shinui, a socially liberal capitalist with a secular agenda, and Meretz, a liberal socialist left-wing party with the most notable "women's rights" agenda in the Israeli political opinion. Still, the issue is rarely addressed, and when it is, there's little media coverage. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 10:23, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey, Severa! I've only been an editor for about 5 months, can you explain how I can add the stuff you put on my talk page to my, uh, Wikipedia experience? Thanks! Joie de Vivre 16:07, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I was going by the MILHIST criteria, which is the same as Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. And if the second article has issues with OR, then it might not meet the accuracy criteria for B-Class.
Oh, and you're welcome.-- Rmky87 21:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
i would like to inform that fortunately the map abortion laws around the world is wrong now!
Portugal and spain are blue: the abortion is legal on demand!
in 11 february 2007 things have change in portugal: almost 59% of the portuguese voted YES, so that weman have the right to choose. No more trips to england and spain to make a legal and safe abortion!
verify in any portuguese newspaper, e.g. http://www.publico.clix.pt/, "aborto" or "IVG - Interrupção Voluntária da Gravidez"

You left this message on my IP page, and I confess that I'm very confused. I made an edit that I explained the rationale for on the talk page, not a test. As I stated in the talk page, I came on the page by surfing from link to link in Wikipedia, but the paragraph I deleted I think *should* be deleted, and I'd appreciate it not being marked as a "test." -- 209.89.134.26 18:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
It is too conclusive, but that's how its predominantly referred to by pro-lifers, and pro-choice / media responses sometimes label it as such in their critiques. It clarifies immediately they are one in the same; and as such I think it puts ABC link in the appropriate context, rather than ABC link making anything conclusive. If a women comes across this I want her search for "ABC link" to come up with Wikipedia results as well. - Roy Boy 800 05:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

you are right about the family names, usually 2, from mother and father, in PT mother 1st father 2nd. in ES its the oposite, father 1st mother last. Sometimes in PT at least last 2 names from both mother and father are used, so 4 surnames, add 2 1st names and married name and u can add with no less than 7 names....names in royalty can be even worse, Maria Francisca Isabel Micaela Gabriela Rafaela Paula de Herédia de Bragança is the daughter of D.

Why did you revert a proper contribution found here [ [1]]
80.4.39.7 14:45, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I can't speak for Severa, obviously, but one issue has to do with the undue weight provision of the neutral point-of-view policy. The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, despite its bland title, is a fringe journal which is not indexed on MEDLINE (a red flag in terms of scientific validity). The edit which was reverted was constructed to imply that the J Am Phys Surg article "rebutted" the Cochrane finding, when in fact the Cochrane finding carries much more scientific weight. Again, I'm not Severa and I apologize for jumping in on her talk page, but those are my 2 cents. MastCell 01:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
As with the previous comment, I have also been waiting for an explanation of a revert. See here. This has happened many times to me, where Severa has reverted but without explanation. If a person is too busy to explain when a revert is made, then the revert should be postponed until an explanation can be given. Here is the pertinent Wikipedia policy:
Thanks. Ferrylodge 01:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey there...are you coming or going? you can hardly decide? anyway, something for you O_Crime_do_Padre_Amaro on the abortion subject....from 1875 if you are tired of the Abortion subject Portugal could use a few native english speakers.... Galf 08:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Just letting you know that I have reached the last straw with Ferrylodge again, and I am currently not working on any content disputes that involve him. I've let Ferrylodge "win". While I disagree with a number of recent changes by Ferrylodge, I"m not going to edit or discuss them because I do not have the energy nor the desire to deal with interacting with Ferrylodge. If Ferrylodge's edits are really as bad as I see them, then one day someone will come along and notice them and take up the fight. If not, then the content stays and I have already moved on. It's tough, but I don't know what I can do. I'm glad to see you back and editing again, but I really wish that you weren't involved with a dispute with Ferrylodge right now at Talk:Abortion. I wouldn't wish that for anyone. Good luck, and I hope that you are stronger than I was.- Andrew c 22:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't make a habit of jumping into other people's discussion pages, and do so rarely. However, I did notice this discussion, because the section header "fetal pain" came up on my watchlist (I have edited the fetal pain article recently). So, given that I saw this discussion, I'm unsure whether I have some duty to be quiet and say nothing, or speak up. So here's a middle course: please feel free to contact me at my talk page to discuss any of these issues. I deny the accusations, and am more than willing to discuss them if anyone here would like. Ferrylodge 00:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
1. Ferrylodge: It might be helpful to acknowledge that you do seem to have a habit of jumping in on other people's talk pages — this can demonstrated by example diffs, as Andrew c posted above. Whether you meant to do this consciously is another matter and you are welcome to contest my earlier conclusions that you intended to upset the apple-cart. But there is definitely a discernable pattern of jumping in, which other users can find troubling. You may want to consider being more mindful of this in the future. Consider starting a new thread to raise your concerns directly to the person on that person's talk page, instead of posting on whichever talk page on which they have posted.
2. Andrew c: Per your edit summary, I don't believe in removing content from user talk pages, unless it's vandalism or something added by a spambot. Moving the two posts above would break up the flow of this discussion, but, as those two posts aren't really addressed to me, I'd ask that should you and Ferrylodge feel like continuing this dialogue, that you please do it on either of your talk pages. Thanks. -

Looks like your friend is active again on vaccine controversy and elsewhere. I've studiously avoided vaccine-related articles up till now (for the same reason I avoid water fluoridation controversy and its ilk, and abortion-related articles for that matter), but it looks like I'm getting sucked in. Hope things have quieted down on your end with a well-deserved Wikibreak. MastCell Talk 16:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Dear Severa,
Thank you for your assistance on the Cane Corso page! There have been several users who have been deleting content on this page without reason:
(Feb 2007) 64.52.227.138 - This user added a link to canecorsoworkingclub.com so perhaps it is the owner of that site, David and Stacey Kuneman?
(Mar 2007) Zoe DeVita (aka 69.204.223.67, 69.204.211.47 and perhaps even 68.198.8.214) - This user has REPEATEDLY deleted content and has been replacing it with a link to her personal dog breeder website. I have sent her a message through her talk page as follows:
"FYI, Wikipedia does NOT permit external links to personal web pages such as your dog breeder website. It is also proper etiquette to refrain from deleting photos that are within Wikipedia's guidelines simply due to any personal vendetta you may have."
She has not responded to me, but continues to act against Wikipedia's etiquette and guidelines.
Any further assistance or guidance you provide will be greatly appreciated...thank you!
Sorry, Switzerland is not in the EU, so I had to revert your category change. Maybe a Category:Abortion in Europe would be more sensible than a Category:Abortion in the European Union? Sandstein 20:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Even though I get the impression our POVs don't match, I appreciate that you work so hard at boring chores like talk page archiving, which the lazier Wikipedians avoid!

Are you in charge over abortion page?

An editor has nominated List of votes for Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of votes for Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

The "middle ground" is not the same as accuracy and neutrality. You have invoked this notion of "middle ground" many times in the past two days, and I think you have confused this fallacy with Wikipedia policy, which it is not. 70.242.229.84 03:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
First of all, it's good to see you around. I hope that all is well with you. Anyway, I noticed the discussion at the D&E talk page, and it reminded me of the ongoing discussion on the IDX talk page. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving that page a glance, and throwing out your opinion if interested. It is basically the same thing that you are experiencing at D&E, only worse (IMO) because the description wasn't expanded, but instead POV, emotive testimony from a nurse was quoted at length. Thanks for your consideration, and I'll consider throwing out my opinion over at D&E.- Andrew c 01:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

It took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on (and I'm still not entirely sure). I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded and wouldn't have made a mistake like that. So I went back into the New user creation log (my trawling grounds for vandals and bad page-creates) and it looks like User talk:Kyd created that article. And I went to put the speedy tag on that user's page, but you know what? It redirects here.
It's a little confusing because the User:Kyd history says you changed your account name from Kyd to this one on 13:50, 25 March 2006, while the creation log lists User:Kyd as having been created on 22:58, 11 May 2007.
So I'm thinking someone just now created the account Kyd, which somehow still has the user and talkpage (i.e. the redirects) of your old account Kyd? Ford MF 01:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Hair/eye colour doesn't play a significant role in fiction. It's just indiscriminate, get a consensus for the addition if you wish. Matthew 10:28, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
(undent) Alright. I suppose I'll just make a custom infobox for the book series, then, if it comes down to it. I don't disagree that infoboxes can have varying standards for the inclusion of information — I just do not appreciate having my good faith edit discounted with the curt edit summary, "Very indiscriminate additions removed...". - Severa ( !!!) 12:37, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I actually object just as much too the HP template having these paramaters. Mostly I object, because you try to give a description of the looks of a character, where describing them with only those 2 elements simply cannot do them justice, like I have shown above. As such it is better to include this information fully within context in the article itself, rather then smacking the fact into the infobox. -- TheDJ ( talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 13:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

So here's a middle course: please feel free to contact me at my talk page to discuss any of these issues. I deny the accusations, and am more than willing to discuss them if anyone here would like.

1. Ferrylodge: It might be helpful to acknowledge that you do seem to have a habit of jumping in on other people's talk pages — this can demonstrated by example diffs, as Andrew c posted above. Whether you meant to do this consciously is another matter and you are welcome to contest my earlier conclusions that you intended to upset the apple-cart. But there is definitely a discernable pattern of jumping in, which other users can find troubling. You may want to consider being more mindful of this in the future. Consider starting a new thread to raise your concerns directly to the person on that person's talk page, instead of posting on whichever talk page on which they have posted.
2. Andrew c: Per your edit summary, I don't believe in removing content from user talk pages, unless it's vandalism or something added by a spambot. Moving the two posts above would break up the flow of this discussion, but, as those two posts aren't really addressed to me, I'd ask that should you and Ferrylodge feel like continuing this dialogue, that you please do it on either of your talk pages. Thanks. -

I appreciate your efforts to communicate and maintain harmony with me. My personal life has been stressful lately and it has leaked into my Wiki experience. Please excuse me if it has bothered you.
I have clarified my view on one of the categorization schemes at Category_talk:Abortifacients. Please read it and let me know what you think. I have lost the link to the discussion of the entire categorization structure if you would like to remind me. Thank you. Joie de Vivre 00:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
There's Censorship in Portugal to proofread, Quinta das Lágrimas to AfD the Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Portuguese-related articles) to improve, there's Flag of Portugal to feature. want my personal advice? if stressed, keep away from your regular articles..... Galf 08:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Severa, I saw your comment at Andrew c's page. In all seriousness, I hope you have a good vacation. I hope it gives you some space to chill out. Joie de Vivre 19:49, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Looks like your friend is active again on vaccine controversy and elsewhere. I've studiously avoided vaccine-related articles up till now (for the same reason I avoid water fluoridation controversy and its ilk, and abortion-related articles for that matter), but it looks like I'm getting sucked in. Hope things have quieted down on your end with a well-deserved Wikibreak. MastCell Talk 16:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Dear Severa,
Thank you for your assistance on the Cane Corso page! There have been several users who have been deleting content on this page without reason:
(Feb 2007) 64.52.227.138 - This user added a link to canecorsoworkingclub.com so perhaps it is the owner of that site, David and Stacey Kuneman?
(Mar 2007) Zoe DeVita (aka 69.204.223.67, 69.204.211.47 and perhaps even 68.198.8.214) - This user has REPEATEDLY deleted content and has been replacing it with a link to her personal dog breeder website. I have sent her a message through her talk page as follows:
"FYI, Wikipedia does NOT permit external links to personal web pages such as your dog breeder website. It is also proper etiquette to refrain from deleting photos that are within Wikipedia's guidelines simply due to any personal vendetta you may have."
She has not responded to me, but continues to act against Wikipedia's etiquette and guidelines.
Any further assistance or guidance you provide will be greatly appreciated...thank you!
Sorry, Switzerland is not in the EU, so I had to revert your category change. Maybe a Category:Abortion in Europe would be more sensible than a Category:Abortion in the European Union? Sandstein 20:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Even though I get the impression our POVs don't match, I appreciate that you work so hard at boring chores like talk page archiving, which the lazier Wikipedians avoid! I'm lurking in that area more than contributing, but your name keeps showing up on my watchlist. Thanks for working so civilly with others. ElinorD (talk) 10:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi there,
Since today, abortion in Portugal is legal "on demand" till 10 weeks of gestation... if you could edit the world map it would be appreciated... thanks! Portugalgay.pt 18:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Just FYI, user Foremanfan is complaining about your Abortion revert on my Talk page... [ [6]] —Preceding unsigned comment added by SheffieldSteel ( talk • contribs) 22:22, 19 April 2007
Your immediately reverting good-faith sourced edits. A little quick on the undo button there, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.242.229.84 ( talk • contribs) 23:04, 19 April 2007
Are you in charge over abortion page? The word most, I thought if I put it there it will be better, everywhere I go around the world, I always hear this topic, so by now, most of the world is really talking about it, so, I do not think word most will throw anything in the corner. Foremanfan 21:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
A friendly warning; you are in violation of [[ WP:3RR]]. I'll assume you weren't aware of this rule and will restore my recent additions appropriately. - O^O 03:59, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
An editor has nominated List of votes for Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of votes for Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

The "middle ground" is not the same as accuracy and neutrality. You have invoked this notion of "middle ground" many times in the past two days, and I think you have confused this fallacy with Wikipedia policy, which it is not. 70.242.229.84 03:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
First of all, it's good to see you around. I hope that all is well with you. Anyway, I noticed the discussion at the D&E talk page, and it reminded me of the ongoing discussion on the IDX talk page. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving that page a glance, and throwing out your opinion if interested. It is basically the same thing that you are experiencing at D&E, only worse (IMO) because the description wasn't expanded, but instead POV, emotive testimony from a nurse was quoted at length. Thanks for your consideration, and I'll consider throwing out my opinion over at D&E.- Andrew c 01:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the update on the Abortion Laws Map... now we need the "no legend" version for the portuguese wikipedia ;) Portugalgay.pt 22:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
... did things quiet down at Talk:Pregnancy, or would you still like me to take a look? MastCell Talk 01:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Hope all is well. You seem to have been considering leaving recently, and I'm very glad you didn't. Thanks for all the work you do around here. Musical L inguist 14:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
It took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on (and I'm still not entirely sure). I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm not retarded and wouldn't have made a mistake like that. So I went back into the New user creation log (my trawling grounds for vandals and bad page-creates) and it looks like User talk:Kyd created that article. And I went to put the speedy tag on that user's page, but you know what? It redirects here.
It's a little confusing because the User:Kyd history says you changed your account name from Kyd to this one on 13:50, 25 March 2006, while the creation log lists User:Kyd as having been created on 22:58, 11 May 2007.
So I'm thinking someone just now created the account Kyd, which somehow still has the user and talkpage (i.e. the redirects) of your old account Kyd? Ford MF 01:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Hair/eye colour doesn't play a significant role in fiction. It's just indiscriminate, get a consensus for the addition if you wish. Matthew 10:28, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
(undent) Alright. I suppose I'll just make a custom infobox for the book series, then, if it comes down to it. I don't disagree that infoboxes can have varying standards for the inclusion of information — I just do not appreciate having my good faith edit discounted with the curt edit summary, "Very indiscriminate additions removed...". - Severa ( !!!) 12:37, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I actually object just as much too the HP template having these paramaters. Mostly I object, because you try to give a description of the looks of a character, where describing them with only those 2 elements simply cannot do them justice, like I have shown above. As such it is better to include this information fully within context in the article itself, rather then smacking the fact into the infobox. -- TheDJ ( talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 13:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
