You're welcome, and I disagreed with the reason for speedying it in the past, so I wasn't at all interested in speedying it now. I didn't feel like taking it to AFD because it's not something that really interests me, but I readily voted in the AFD that someone else created. Nyttend ( talk) 01:32, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Please understand. I saw Jeret Peterson on live TV last night. It is not intended as vandalism. I am sorry I lost my temper about it. But, please, it is an injustice to report someone dead when they are alive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.125.204.112 ( talk) 02:00, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi TGeairn, I posted a proposed addition to your page (copied below) and it was kicked-back as not verifiable or opinion-based. I was wondering what type of reference material would suffice? For instance, press reporting of the number of troops in Kuwait in Oct-Nov 2002? The biggest problem I see with wikipedia is that if you have to rely on what someone else has said or written, then you will at times miss new perspectives and historic realities. I'm not sure that I will find a reference document stating the below is true, but I think intuitively, most every non-partisan observer would agree with the comment. And, it provides valuable context...Saddam never would have allowed inspectors back on the ground without the imminent threat of military force. He hadn't since 1998 and there's no logical reason to believe that he would have in 2002...it was all about military pressure. Warm regards, Fred Smith / Fred.lyn
However, UN inspectors were only permitted to re-enter Iraq by Saddam in November 2002 due to the presence of several hundred thousand predominantly US and UK military troops, positioning in Kuwait near the Iraq border since the summer of 2002, preparing for non-compliance and a potential invasion. A strong case can be made that Saddam Hussein only complied with UN inspections, albeit in a limited manner, during this period due to the coercive effect of a large military presence on his border. Once removed, it is almost certain that Saddam's cooperation with future UN inspections would have ended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fred.lyn ( talk • contribs) 03:13, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
i am new to this, just trying to help out a friend who made a movie. its real, its correct (side note: dead weight was not a film in 1971, it was an episode title of Columbo.)would you please either change what i write to the format you prefer or write me back as to how to do so....i do not want my attempts to be deleted without a fair reason why you would delete something that is factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erinmetcher ( talk • contribs) 03:14, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
constructive? how not? it is a new movie that was produced and distributed for sale. i believe it is constructive to add it here due to the fact that it is part of pop culture. please put it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erinmetcher ( talk • contribs) 03:23, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Why would you delete factual corrections to incorrect information. I made corrections and before you even verified with me you unilaterally deleted my work. To verify authenticity all you had to do was read the information that was presented. Allen didn't start with the Redskins until the early '70's. That's when he hired Dick Vermeil as HIS first special teams coach. Williams hired Marv Levy in 1969 when he took over the Eagles and hired Levy as the first special teams coach in the NFL. I was alive then (were you) and have personal knowledge of this history (do you?). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.101.29 ( talk) 03:47, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tgealrn!
I've deleted the reply in my USER space, since I finally got a better understanding of what the USER space is actually for and some clarification on the use of the TALK space for discussions between collaborators (as far as my screen reading program allows me to read and understand). I will also delete the reply from my SANDBOX space since this page may be used only for test samples of articles (at least as far as I have been able to understand from what my screen reader program has read to me)...
Sorry, for any problems that I may have caused... But, I've gotten conflicting information from several WIKI users that don't make sense... I have even done a small essay that describes me, my education and my interests (this page was done in the general section of the reading room of WIKI-BOOKS because from what I was able to understand from my screen reader program reading the web-page to me (I am blind) the GENERAL section of the (Note that I am using all caps to indicate a link to a web-page) reading room was for general items such as introductions. However, I received conflicting remarks such as follows from the following users:

The claim is ipse dixit with no citation. Provide citation (relevant peer reviewed literature). NPOV verifiability. "Hypothesized to have" is scientifically accurate.
Jinx69 ( talk) 18:07, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
I didnt mean to delete that large block of characters. Is a book a NPOV for a ipse dixit claim about the unobserved and unobservable past? Written history goes back 6,000 years ('recorded history' wiki). We have no documented evidence pre 6,000 years ago. Any claim before that is ipse dixit. "Hypothesized to have" is scientifically accurate. Then the relevant peer reviewed literature with radioisotopes can be employed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jinx69 ( talk • contribs) 18:23, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the help!
I tried to rv a few times, but kept getting edit conflicts with the IP, until you stepped in. It appears they added their own (or a friend's) name to the infobox as a test/joke edit. They then broke the infobox, and tried to fix it and failed. The first edit was obviously Vandalism, but subsequent ones could have been a GF effort to undo. Either way, fixed. -- Robert Keiden ( talk) 00:15, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Would you mind taking another look at James H. Fetzer and its talk page to see if this reversion by me is out of line with our policies and guidelines regarding reliable sources? Thanks! Location ( talk) 00:46, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
The example I posted under ad hominem attacks is NOT vandalism. Please stop calling it that simply because you disagree with it. If you don't believe it's an appropriate example, use the article's talk page so a consensus can be reached and/or add an appropriate template. Do NOT keep unilaterially reverting the edit! Because it is not vandalism, you are in violation of Wikipedia's guidelines by repeatedly removing it and I must ask you to stop this behavior immediately. Please use the article's talk section to present your argument.

Please explain why you removed an edit I made to the "Religious Belief" page. I added a reason for adherence to religious belief titled "Facts of History". What did you find objectionable?

Ace PhD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ace PhD ( talk • contribs) 05:12, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. I am a bit perplexed as to how you would think it is original research. It is a truth that applies to 100% of practicing Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Jews celebrate the Passover. The Passover is a memorial of an event that they believe happened in history. It may or may not have actually happened, but they certainly believe it did. Christians celebrate Christmas. Christmas is, to Christians, an event that occurred around the year zero AD that is called the Incarnation. St. Paul, in the Bible, says that the religion of Christianity stands or falls on the Resurrection of Jesus as an historical event around the year 30 AD. There is not a single person who is truly a Christian who does not believe that that happened in history. It may not have happened, but all Christians believe it happened. What kind of sources are you looking for? Passover, Christmas, and Easter are celebrated every year. Does one really need a source for that? Do you really think this is original research?
Thanks,
Ace PhD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ace PhD ( talk • contribs) 06:07, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Dear Tgeairn,
Thanks for your reply. I suppose your points above really should have led you to edit my comments rather than throw them out altogether. You recognize that this article needs a lot of work. Wouldn't you agree that my edit at least improved it? If so, why cut it and and leave it worse just because the edit was not perfect? Why not edit it and make it even better?
I will be happy to make those changes and clarifications and resubmit the edit.

Regarding [3], [4], [5], and [6] why do you think those edits were "cut/paste of blog referenced original research"? They are in no way cut/pastes of even a few words, and they conform to the many sources being discussed at Talk:United States public debt#Negative real interest rates including Lawrence Summers writing for Reuters. This is a very important aspect of the US debt, which you can see by that talk page discussion, and it deserves to be included.
[7] is particularly confusing because you also undid several formatting changes to conform to the manual of style and the addition of graph illustrations from government sources. If there is something which made you think that the edits were cut/paste or OR, I'm sorry, but they aren't. I don't mind leaving the summary of negative real interest out of the articles while they are being discussed at that talk page, but I do intend to replace those formatting changes unless there is a good reason not to.

Hey Tgeairn, you recently proposed deleting the Now 44 article. I think I have now provided enough articles that state it is coming out on November 6th.

In a few special cases, an unreleased album may qualify for an article if there is sufficient verifiable and properly referenced information about it—for example, Guns 'n Roses' 2008 album Chinese Democracy had an article as early as 2004. However, this only applies to a very small number of exceptionally high-profile projects — generally, an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label.

Hi. I just stumbled across the trouble happening on the Star Wars Episode VII article, and I noticed that you had the problem well in hand (though it is odd to see a page changing every time you go back to it).

And, it provides valuable context...Saddam never would have allowed inspectors back on the ground without the imminent threat of military force. He hadn't since 1998 and there's no logical reason to believe that he would have in 2002...it was all about military pressure. Warm regards, Fred Smith / Fred.lyn
However, UN inspectors were only permitted to re-enter Iraq by Saddam in November 2002 due to the presence of several hundred thousand predominantly US and UK military troops, positioning in Kuwait near the Iraq border since the summer of 2002, preparing for non-compliance and a potential invasion. A strong case can be made that Saddam Hussein only complied with UN inspections, albeit in a limited manner, during this period due to the coercive effect of a large military presence on his border. Once removed, it is almost certain that Saddam's cooperation with future UN inspections would have ended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fred.lyn ( talk • contribs) 03:13, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
i am new to this, just trying to help out a friend who made a movie. its real, its correct (side note: dead weight was not a film in 1971, it was an episode title of Columbo.)would you please either change what i write to the format you prefer or write me back as to how to do so....i do not want my attempts to be deleted without a fair reason why you would delete something that is factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erinmetcher ( talk • contribs) 03:14, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Why would you delete factual corrections to incorrect information. I made corrections and before you even verified with me you unilaterally deleted my work. To verify authenticity all you had to do was read the information that was presented. Allen didn't start with the Redskins until the early '70's. That's when he hired Dick Vermeil as HIS first special teams coach. Williams hired Marv Levy in 1969 when he took over the Eagles and hired Levy as the first special teams coach in the NFL. I was alive then (were you) and have personal knowledge of this history (do you?). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.101.29 ( talk) 03:47, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tgealrn!
I've deleted the reply in my USER space, since I finally got a better understanding of what the USER space is actually for and some clarification on the use of the TALK space for discussions between collaborators (as far as my screen reading program allows me to read and understand). I will also delete the reply from my SANDBOX space since this page may be used only for test samples of articles (at least as far as I have been able to understand from what my screen reader program has read to me)...
Sorry, for any problems that I may have caused... But, I've gotten conflicting information from several WIKI users that don't make sense... I have even done a small essay that describes me, my education and my interests (this page was done in the general section of the reading room of WIKI-BOOKS because from what I was able to understand from my screen reader program reading the web-page to me (I am blind) the GENERAL section of the (Note that I am using all caps to indicate a link to a web-page) reading room was for general items such as introductions.

The claim is ipse dixit with no citation. Provide citation (relevant peer reviewed literature). NPOV verifiability. "Hypothesized to have" is scientifically accurate.
Jinx69 ( talk) 18:07, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
I didnt mean to delete that large block of characters. Is a book a NPOV for a ipse dixit claim about the unobserved and unobservable past? Written history goes back 6,000 years ('recorded history' wiki). We have no documented evidence pre 6,000 years ago. Any claim before that is ipse dixit. "Hypothesized to have" is scientifically accurate. Then the relevant peer reviewed literature with radioisotopes can be employed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jinx69 ( talk • contribs) 18:23, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

I tried to rv a few times, but kept getting edit conflicts with the IP, until you stepped in. It appears they added their own (or a friend's) name to the infobox as a test/joke edit. They then broke the infobox, and tried to fix it and failed. The first edit was obviously Vandalism, but subsequent ones could have been a GF effort to undo. Either way, fixed. -- Robert Keiden ( talk) 00:15, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

The example I posted under ad hominem attacks is NOT vandalism. Please stop calling it that simply because you disagree with it. If you don't believe it's an appropriate example, use the article's talk page so a consensus can be reached and/or add an appropriate template. Do NOT keep unilaterially reverting the edit! Because it is not vandalism, you are in violation of Wikipedia's guidelines by repeatedly removing it and I must ask you to stop this behavior immediately. Please use the article's talk section to present your argument.

Thanks for your reply. I am a bit perplexed as to how you would think it is original research. It is a truth that applies to 100% of practicing Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Jews celebrate the Passover. The Passover is a memorial of an event that they believe happened in history. It may or may not have actually happened, but they certainly believe it did. Christians celebrate Christmas. Christmas is, to Christians, an event that occurred around the year zero AD that is called the Incarnation. St. Paul, in the Bible, says that the religion of Christianity stands or falls on the Resurrection of Jesus as an historical event around the year 30 AD. There is not a single person who is truly a Christian who does not believe that that happened in history. It may not have happened, but all Christians believe it happened. What kind of sources are you looking for? Passover, Christmas, and Easter are celebrated every year. Does one really need a source for that? Do you really think this is original research?
Thanks,
Ace PhD — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ace PhD ( talk • contribs) 06:07, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Dear Tgeairn,
Thanks for your reply. I suppose your points above really should have led you to edit my comments rather than throw them out altogether. You recognize that this article needs a lot of work. Wouldn't you agree that my edit at least improved it? If so, why cut it and and leave it worse just because the edit was not perfect? Why not edit it and make it even better?
I will be happy to make those changes and clarifications and resubmit the edit.

Regarding [3], [4], [5], and [6] why do you think those edits were "cut/paste of blog referenced original research"? They are in no way cut/pastes of even a few words, and they conform to the many sources being discussed at Talk:United States public debt#Negative real interest rates including Lawrence Summers writing for Reuters. This is a very important aspect of the US debt, which you can see by that talk page discussion, and it deserves to be included.
[7] is particularly confusing because you also undid several formatting changes to conform to the manual of style and the addition of graph illustrations from government sources. If there is something which made you think that the edits were cut/paste or OR, I'm sorry, but they aren't. I don't mind leaving the summary of negative real interest out of the articles while they are being discussed at that talk page, but I do intend to replace those formatting changes unless there is a good reason not to.

Hey Tgeairn, you recently proposed deleting the Now 44 article. I think I have now provided enough articles that state it is coming out on November 6th.

In a few special cases, an unreleased album may qualify for an article if there is sufficient verifiable and properly referenced information about it—for example, Guns 'n Roses' 2008 album Chinese Democracy had an article as early as 2004. However, this only applies to a very small number of exceptionally high-profile projects — generally, an album should not have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label.
