I see you got busy--thanks. I reworked that section significantly, shuffling around some content and trying to remake it into a standard sort of biography, but I know it was kind of a half-assed job, so I appreciate your help. Drmies ( talk) 03:48, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
I've never left a message on a talk page so bear with me if I do this incorrectly:) I've been watching the back and forth on Licona's page with interest and concern. I messaged BradV about this privately because I didn't want to embarrass anyone. In terms of Licona being fired. That is flat out slander perpetrated by Norman Geisler. Unfortunately, as is the case with slander it makes it's way around the internet. However, Christianity Today is a news source and the article clearly states Licona resigned his position with NAMB. He states his position at NAMB was eliminated. This is proven by the fact that NAMB no longer has an apologetics department at all. The entire department was eliminated because NAMB was downsizing at the time. William Lane Craig, who would have been in a position to know the facts, also clearly states Licona was not fired [ https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/question-answer/are-institutional-doctrinal-statements-counter-productive]. Regarding Licona's status as an historian, one may want to look at Wikipedia's own Historian entry [1]. Licona certainly passes the test by Wikipedia's own standard. Simply looking at the title of his book The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach and the Table of Contents [2] would prove he is an historian. In addition to the course he teaches in Philosophy of History [3] He also received endorsements by historians [4]. I could go on but I think I made my point. He has also had journal articles published in the academic Journal of the Historical Jesus. ]. You may also want to add back in Licona's membership in the very prestigious Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas [5]. Here is a source that you have used for other items confirming the name of Licona's wife [6]. Here is another for his wife and both of his children. id=NdF97o5L768C&pg=PA17&lpg=PA17&dq=mike+licona+alex+zach&source=bl&ots=SGhMLkkgOW&sig=ACfU3U0M1mP68XvyXfBHvJIllMRgZPts7Q&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiR6Pz8wvXgAhXhnuAKHdvCBvkQ6AEwAnoECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q=mike%20licona%20alex%20zach&f=false Hopefully, this will help make this entry better which is what I know everyone wants.

Patrick Moore is the founder of Greenpeace, and a respected scientist. He certainly has more experience and credibility in environmental matters than the esteemed bartender from the Bronx. While you clearly disagree with his point of view, it is inappropriate to use your opinion of his views to dismiss him as a lunatic. My edit should re re-inserted. JohnTopShelf ( talk) 13:01, 12 March 2019 (UTC) |
Again - this is just your opinion. Just because you disagree, you dismiss Dr. Moore's statements as nonsense. You should not keep reverting edits that are cited, and are from an informed source, just because you do not agree with them. The fact remains that Dr. Moore's criticism is valid, or at the very least informed and cited, and should not be reverted just because you disagree with his statements. As for trying to get a consensus - I can't imaging that would ever happen with an issue this divisive. but this has nothing to do with consensus - this is about including an opposing viewpoint to achieve a neutral point of view. I understand that you wear your edit reversions as some sort of badge of honor, but editing is not about winning. I implore you to be fair and objective. - JohnTopShelf — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnTopShelf ( talk • contribs) 18:13, March 12, 2019 (UTC)
I meant there will never be consensus on whether Moore is correct or not, or whether Ocasio-Cortez is correct or not. But consensus on who is correct doesn't matter. What matters is presenting a differing point of view, by a respected environmentalist whose comments to a reputable news source were cited. That is what a neutral point of view for an article is all about. And yes - I want you to re-insert it. -JohnTopShelf
I would like to know why #Ibelievewomen and #metoo does not apply to Rachel Marsden, and why the Arbcomm decision is ignored. Spoonkymonkey ( talk) 17:09, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
I have no relation to the subject. But i can see why Wikipedia has issues with women. Spoonkymonkey ( talk) 17:53, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
I have edited it off and on for years and have been on Wikipedia since 2008. Read the Arbcomm decision PLEASE. 3 revert rule does not apply to blankings of disproportionate derogatory information about Marsden. And while #Ibelievwomen is a slogan, there is a lot of truth in it. The Simon Fraser pattern fit to a tee what happened at my own university, in abuse of women by faculty. Her's is an early case, from when titillation over a supposedly debunked claim seemed to provide an opportunity to heap abuse on her -- including, at one time, dragging her dead father into it. Arbcomm dealt with all of this. You might want to consider Wikipedia's reputation for being hostile to women, or, at least, unable to attract and keep them.

I simply cannot fathom why you should revert a perfectly good, succinct and notable article to a redirect to Beneteau#lagoon when there is no such address. Lagoon is owned by Beneteau, but the only reference to Lagoon on that page is a sentence that I posted earlier today!! If you look at list of multihulls you will see that there are a dozen or so links (now blue, previously red) that are directed to Lagoon. Why sabotage this work?

I respect that you've been editing Wikipedia about twice as long as I have, but please know that it is most unhelpful when you give only a very general reference for your reversions. I follow here and many like directives in capitalizing "church" whenever it refers to a specific group of persons and not the building. Please advise me as to on what authority you insist on decapitalizing "church" in these instances. Just as I don't assume you have personal bias in your point of view here, please grant me the same respect unless you can establish such in this case. @ Bradv: Jzsj ( talk) 16:10, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Did you even read my revision before reverting it within seconds? You stated previously that the edit should be first discussed on the Talk page. I dis that. I cited to acceptable Wikipedia sources.

At Talk:2012_Aurora,_Colorado_shooting#Requested_move_5_March_2019 your close says, "A broader discussion may be required, as this format is in use in many articles." I haven't seen any evidence of this format (with state offset by unbalanced comma) being in use in many articles. I thought I had pointed that out as a "false premise" in my March 17 comment there. Is there evidence that you're aware of in support of this assertion that you've repeated? Dicklyon ( talk) 03:09, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi Bradv You rejected my AfC Draft:Carrier Aggregation yesterday for the reason "No improvement since last review." It is true that I did not edit the artice since the last rejection from User:Praxidicae because there is no need for improvement. The last rejection was because of "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." I consulted the rejecting person and asked for the reason why does no consider the two engineering text books from very well known publishers reliable and got the answer "If I didn't feel that the two citations were sufficient to support an entire article". Could you tell me what is the problem with the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fvultier ( talk • contribs) 14:42, March 29, 2019 (UTC)

I'm curious as to why you don't simply tag the item as needing further citation, which I'd then furnish, having just expanded details from the existing source, rather than wholesale eliminating an entire section, which is clearly a valid one, with each point reported by the LA Times. The quick-chop method seems more destructive than productive. Lindenfall ( talk) 23:55, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
This clearly meets that criteria, so that is what I followed. I have no problem with it being added back in, as long as it is properly sourced. – bradv 🍁 00:53, 23 April 2019 (UTC)Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

Greetings,
I noticed that you tagged citations from reputable archival journals such as Animal Behavior, Journal of Comparative Psychology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, and Learning and Motivation as "unreputable". I would like to understand that further. What makes you say that these journals are disreputable?
While I could understand a concern about the blog, it is Dr. Brain Hare's blog. He has a large big H-index in the field of comparative psychology, is an expert in canine cognition, and is also a respected dog trainer. Citing his blog post is easier than citing the few colleagues he's condensing into one post. He is an expert in the field and is not at all disreputable. If this is still a concern for you, the blog post is basically a condensed version of Pręgowski, Michał Piotr. "Your dog is your teacher: Contemporary dog training beyond radical behaviorism." society & animals 23.6 (2015): 525-543. I wish Dr. Hare had authored the review, but he clearly respects it. Which would you prefer?

At Talk:2012_Aurora,_Colorado_shooting#Requested_move_5_March_2019 your close says, "A broader discussion may be required, as this format is in use in many articles." I haven't seen any evidence of this format (with state offset by unbalanced comma) being in use in many articles. I thought I had pointed that out as a "false premise" in my March 17 comment there. Is there evidence that you're aware of in support of this assertion that you've repeated? Dicklyon ( talk) 03:09, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
Jean Mill article: I saw that you struck my vote. I was unsure if one has to vote each time an afd is renewed. This is maddening defending against deletion for a month!

I just wanted to make sure you saw this. It looks like Southern has been tweeting up a storm about her Wikipedia entry. I don't know what's normally done in these situations, but I do think there's a decent chance that there might be some other edit warring in the near future. Nblund talk 22:42, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Bradv You rejected my AfC Draft:Carrier Aggregation yesterday for the reason "No improvement since last review." It is true that I did not edit the artice since the last rejection from User:Praxidicae because there is no need for improvement. The last rejection was because of "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." I consulted the rejecting person and asked for the reason why does no consider the two engineering text books from very well known publishers reliable and got the answer "If I didn't feel that the two citations were sufficient to support an entire article". Could you tell me what is the problem with the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fvultier ( talk • contribs) 14:42, March 29, 2019 (UTC)
I've created my article and hope it has enough reliable resources to be moved to article space. Can you check if am doing well, assist where I made mistakes. If everything is okay you can move it.

I'm curious as to why you don't simply tag the item as needing further citation, which I'd then furnish, having just expanded details from the existing source, rather than wholesale eliminating an entire section, which is clearly a valid one, with each point reported by the LA Times. The quick-chop method seems more destructive than productive. Lindenfall ( talk) 23:55, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
This clearly meets that criteria, so that is what I followed. I have no problem with it being added back in, as long as it is properly sourced. – bradv 🍁 00:53, 23 April 2019 (UTC)Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.

Hey Brad, I'm so glad you agreed to join the arbitration clerk team. In a few short months, you've managed to make yourself indispensable to the clerks and the committee. Your attentiveness and fast learning have been lifesavers, and we're delighted to have you with us. Congratulations on your confirmation by the clerks and the committee.

the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so

Hi there, Bradv, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to have such an experienced editor contributing to the project. We look forward to many new biographies of notable women and perhaps some advice on how we can make the project more successfull. Happy editing!-- Ipigott ( talk) 09:17, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Bradv ( talk · contribs), I clicked on the 'Ask for advice' button on my declined AfC submission but it did not take me to your Talk space. If I may ask, I have a question regarding notability in the review and how to rectify the advertorial tone considered by other reviewers. It is not lost on me that you have better ways to occupy your time on the Project, so your help is graciously appreciated. Farquaad44 ( talk) 12:26, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello Bradv,
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

Greetings,
I noticed that you tagged citations from reputable archival journals such as Animal Behavior, Journal of Comparative Psychology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, and Learning and Motivation as "unreputable". I would like to understand that further. What makes you say that these journals are disreputable?
While I could understand a concern about the blog, it is Dr. Brain Hare's blog. He has a large big H-index in the field of comparative psychology, is an expert in canine cognition, and is also a respected dog trainer. Citing his blog post is easier than citing the few colleagues he's condensing into one post. He is an expert in the field and is not at all disreputable. If this is still a concern for you, the blog post is basically a condensed version of Pręgowski, Michał Piotr. "Your dog is your teacher: Contemporary dog training beyond radical behaviorism." society & animals 23.6 (2015): 525-543. I wish Dr. Hare had authored the review, but he clearly respects it. Which would you prefer?

My name is Akmaie Ajam, and i'm a returning auto-confirmed user. (Sorry for bad English, my country i live in is Indonesia)
Why you revert my edits? Are you British? Tide Pod Challenge is mostly in America (US)! What do you think is correct: pods or packs? Why the reason is "restore actual quote from source"?
