Hello Demiurge 1000 ! It would be important to create an article about an eminently relevant artist, who is leading a movement as artist and philosopher after a brilliant career of academics. There are books by him and newspaper articles about him, as well as homepage. I am looking for a wikipedia user and person who is interested in helping to create this page on wikipedia. The complete text for wikipedia has been already composed. It just so happened that there was a false positive report after the initial creation of this wikipage. To avoid it to be repeated, I am asking for support. We would appreciate your support and advise. Kusum Bhagavat ( talk) 03:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
demiurge,
realizing that i am not supposed to edit my own bio, I see that, in the last footnote (which references real estate casses i have handled), it might be appropriate to add one other: "Meckler v Schnell, http://www.newyorklawjournal.com/CaseDecisionNY.jsp?id=1202471675866&slreturn=1." I assume it would be frowned upon if I made that edit? is there any way I could propose the edit "off line"? And, if so, how do i go about doing.
also, i confess i still am confused about talk pages, user pages, etc., and their respective functions. i obviously need to read more on this.
i am now commenting on your "user page"? does this comment really belong on your talk page and if so, how do i access it?
thanks

Hi Demiurge1000, I definitely don't want to start any drama over this, but your summary, that the article appears to be in US English, doesn't seem quite right. The section on 'colour' was added nearly 2 years ago and was spelt that way. An IP changed it a some point, although I know that I reverted at least one change to the US spelling based on WP:ENGVAR before that happened. As to the article, it's mixed unfortunately - it uses centimetres and meters (although there are more of the former) and 'sedimentary dyke' and both 'palaeogeography' and 'paleontology'. Overall I would score it as slightly more British than US, but I may have missed some. As I say, it's no big deal, but I wondered why you had a different view.

I edited the User:Jimbo Wales page (user page for Jimmy Wales) to add the "co-" to the claim that he is the "founder" of Wikipedia (so it states that he's a "co-founder"). You reverted this using an automated tool, leaving the (intentionally vague? so as not to indicate what the reversion was about unless one investigates?) note that "He's asked for it not to be changed to that." Where, exactly, did you he ask this? I'd be most interested in seeing this for myself because I don't see it anywhere on the page, and the "co-" bit is noncontroversial according to all the credible sources I've been reading. Clearly this is a matter of some importance to you, as you've actually set up a JavaScript tool to automatically remove this "troublesome" (and apparently persistent, if you'd bother automating it) fact. -- Glynth ( talk) 10:02, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
"This issue highlights for me some of the problems that Wikipedia has in achieving neutrality. Wikipedia is not supposed to take a stand on controversial issues, but in this case it does... against me, of course. This is mostly due to trolling, in my opinion."

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am not experienced at editing Wikipedia articles and have tried to follow procedures as best to my understanding. I will try an explain the situation:
Under the Personal Life section of James Haskell's page it describes an incident at Wellington College. This is not true and did not happen. The newspapers that are cited in the article have written retractions and there is an injunction against publishing this story.
Please can you explain to me as to how I can remove this libellous and defamatory text. I don't understand why it keeps on being reverted to when it is not true - surely people can't just write whatever they like on Wikipedia, espeically as there is an injunction against it.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

To whom it may concern:
My father is the author of 75 international business articles, solely owns 22 private corporations in 15 countries, most recently adopted 2 main thoroughfares in Sarasota county FL (in the last week alone) and was about to donate upwards of $1 million dollars to the Cheshire Academy General Fund in 2013. His net worth is approximately a quarter of a billion (with a B) dollars after successfully anticipating the 2008 financial crisis and retiring. I decided to add him to the noted alumni page by citing one of his corporations, a news article from Malaysia, and a few simple citations. Regardless, you keep removing him despite him being the co-founder of AGBA, the Academy to Advance Global Business. Is there something that I am missing? I would think that any one of these would be a more valid citation than a wkipedia reference. I am not about to cite corporate ownership data links to get approval. Rather, I thought that the world press, a decade of academic publications, and over $10 million, thus far, donated to charities would qualify him as a "noted alumnus."
Please add him to the list of noted alumni and respond with whatever other citations that you would like since he is a noted alumnus in both spirit and in his deeds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pencilpapereraser ( talk • contribs) 18:45, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
I have been trying to update the semi-protected CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARAFARE 3 page to have Will Staples added as a writer along with Paul Haggis in the right hand column. In the actual credits of the game when you finish, it says "Written By Paul Haggis and Will Staples". In support of this edit, I have sent a video of the end of the game featuring the credits ( http://www.youtube.com/user/RydarGames#p/c/14/fttHQ5PBl84 at the 13:43 mark), a link to IMDB where Paul and Will are both listed ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1937113/fullcredits#writers), and recently a link to an interview with the military advisor for the game talking about working with Will Staples ( http://www.commandposts.com/2011/11/dalton-fury-on-call-of-duty-and-black-site/). However, this still hasn't been updated and my request to update the page was rejected twice because the sources were not reliable.
At this point, I am getting frustrated with the Wikipedia process and I don't know what to possibly do besides send someone a physical copy of the game to play to convince them that the page is incorrect and that Will Staples and Paul Haggis are the credited writers on the game.
If there is any way you can assist in this matter or have the page updated, I would greatly appreciate it. It won't take more than a couple clicks to verify the veracity of my request.

Mr. Demiurge, It has been my understanding that wikipedia needs input from women. I am a woman. I tried to post about Questlove's use of "Lyin' Ass Bitch" to introduce a woman (M. Bachmann) on the Fallon show. You deleted it saying it was just my opinion. No wonder women are afraid to post on wikipedia. You must be an Obama supporter, I was Hillary supporter and I am a Democrat. But I think no woman should be treated and tweeted about in the snarky manner that Questlove did. He actually sent out a message to many people before he did this via Twitter. If we keep allowing men like Questlove to do things like he did and then to have you, Mr. wikipedia who won't even allow this truth to be told--well of course women will be discouraged.

Hi Demiurge. Thanks for your note on my talk page. Looking at the comments you linked to, yes, I'd agree there was a combination of articulateness and tendentiousness that looked familiar... On the other hand, looking at the list of user contribs for Aldrasto, it is quite substantial, and begins 18 months ago back in May 2010, and they don't seem to be in the same pages as the other articulate tendentious person you may have in mind. This is probably why I don't recall hearing of Aldrasto before... Two unconnected WP contributors may have somewhat similar personalities and somewhat similar areas of interest...

Hi Demiurge1000, it looks like Derek Goldby it at it again, in the sense that his entry seems to have had a set of credits added to it that don't really merit the article, and which have all been contributed by user 83.205.82.245 who hasn't made any other contributions so I presume is Goldby himself. It messes up the article, but I want to hold off reverting/cleaning given the article's history of edit warring. Any thoughts? Ta! Martin Gray89 ( talk) 11:13, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey Demiurge,
I was wondering if you could share your thoughts at the AfD for Spire Federal Credit Union - I despammified and decopyvioed and rewrote the article; though I decided to send it to AfD as I wasn't sure if it met WP:ORG. Thanks,

I edited the User:Jimbo Wales page (user page for Jimmy Wales) to add the "co-" to the claim that he is the "founder" of Wikipedia (so it states that he's a "co-founder"). You reverted this using an automated tool, leaving the (intentionally vague? so as not to indicate what the reversion was about unless one investigates?) note that "He's asked for it not to be changed to that." Where, exactly, did you he ask this? I'd be most interested in seeing this for myself because I don't see it anywhere on the page, and the "co-" bit is noncontroversial according to all the credible sources I've been reading. Clearly this is a matter of some importance to you, as you've actually set up a JavaScript tool to automatically remove this "troublesome" (and apparently persistent, if you'd bother automating it) fact. -- Glynth ( talk) 10:02, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
"This issue highlights for me some of the problems that Wikipedia has in achieving neutrality. Wikipedia is not supposed to take a stand on controversial issues, but in this case it does... against me, of course. This is mostly due to trolling, in my opinion."

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am not experienced at editing Wikipedia articles and have tried to follow procedures as best to my understanding. I will try an explain the situation:
Under the Personal Life section of James Haskell's page it describes an incident at Wellington College. This is not true and did not happen. The newspapers that are cited in the article have written retractions and there is an injunction against publishing this story.
Please can you explain to me as to how I can remove this libellous and defamatory text. I don't understand why it keeps on being reverted to when it is not true - surely people can't just write whatever they like on Wikipedia, espeically as there is an injunction against it.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

To whom it may concern:
My father is the author of 75 international business articles, solely owns 22 private corporations in 15 countries, most recently adopted 2 main thoroughfares in Sarasota county FL (in the last week alone) and was about to donate upwards of $1 million dollars to the Cheshire Academy General Fund in 2013. His net worth is approximately a quarter of a billion (with a B) dollars after successfully anticipating the 2008 financial crisis and retiring. I decided to add him to the noted alumni page by citing one of his corporations, a news article from Malaysia, and a few simple citations. Regardless, you keep removing him despite him being the co-founder of AGBA, the Academy to Advance Global Business. Is there something that I am missing? I would think that any one of these would be a more valid citation than a wkipedia reference. I am not about to cite corporate ownership data links to get approval. Rather, I thought that the world press, a decade of academic publications, and over $10 million, thus far, donated to charities would qualify him as a "noted alumnus."
Please add him to the list of noted alumni and respond with whatever other citations that you would like since he is a noted alumnus in both spirit and in his deeds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pencilpapereraser ( talk • contribs) 18:45, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
I have been trying to update the semi-protected CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARAFARE 3 page to have Will Staples added as a writer along with Paul Haggis in the right hand column. In the actual credits of the game when you finish, it says "Written By Paul Haggis and Will Staples". In support of this edit, I have sent a video of the end of the game featuring the credits ( http://www.youtube.com/user/RydarGames#p/c/14/fttHQ5PBl84 at the 13:43 mark), a link to IMDB where Paul and Will are both listed ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1937113/fullcredits#writers), and recently a link to an interview with the military advisor for the game talking about working with Will Staples ( http://www.commandposts.com/2011/11/dalton-fury-on-call-of-duty-and-black-site/). However, this still hasn't been updated and my request to update the page was rejected twice because the sources were not reliable.
At this point, I am getting frustrated with the Wikipedia process and I don't know what to possibly do besides send someone a physical copy of the game to play to convince them that the page is incorrect and that Will Staples and Paul Haggis are the credited writers on the game.
If there is any way you can assist in this matter or have the page updated, I would greatly appreciate it. It won't take more than a couple clicks to verify the veracity of my request.

Mr. Demiurge, It has been my understanding that wikipedia needs input from women. I am a woman. I tried to post about Questlove's use of "Lyin' Ass Bitch" to introduce a woman (M. Bachmann) on the Fallon show. You deleted it saying it was just my opinion. No wonder women are afraid to post on wikipedia. You must be an Obama supporter, I was Hillary supporter and I am a Democrat. But I think no woman should be treated and tweeted about in the snarky manner that Questlove did. He actually sent out a message to many people before he did this via Twitter. If we keep allowing men like Questlove to do things like he did and then to have you, Mr. wikipedia who won't even allow this truth to be told--well of course women will be discouraged.

Hi Demiurge. Thanks for your note on my talk page. Looking at the comments you linked to, yes, I'd agree there was a combination of articulateness and tendentiousness that looked familiar... On the other hand, looking at the list of user contribs for Aldrasto, it is quite substantial, and begins 18 months ago back in May 2010, and they don't seem to be in the same pages as the other articulate tendentious person you may have in mind. This is probably why I don't recall hearing of Aldrasto before... Two unconnected WP contributors may have somewhat similar personalities and somewhat similar areas of interest...

Hi Demiurge1000, it looks like Derek Goldby it at it again, in the sense that his entry seems to have had a set of credits added to it that don't really merit the article, and which have all been contributed by user 83.205.82.245 who hasn't made any other contributions so I presume is Goldby himself. It messes up the article, but I want to hold off reverting/cleaning given the article's history of edit warring. Any thoughts? Ta! Martin Gray89 ( talk) 11:13, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
