Hi, just letting you know that the spelling of 'Maneuver' is one of those words that varies with British / American variants. Since its originally french, I prefer the 'o' version, but like most spelling there's always people that like it either way. I tend to leave varied spelling as I find it, unless its inconsistent within an article. Cheers Clovis Sangrail ( talk) 01:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Just to let you know, "|publication_date=
" is not a valid field in
Template:Cite web. The correct field is "|date=
".
Template:Cite web is also properly {{
Cite web}}, not {{
cite_web}}. I fixed and consolidated a number of citations you added last night,
[1] but I noticed that you added more today, using the incorrect field. Using the wrong field name results in the information not being displayed in the references section.

this was not a shining example of good faith. I did read it, a few times in fact. Then I watched the video a number of times, then tried to present a neutral argument. Comment on content, not editors.-- Terrillja talk 06:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. -- SineBot ( talk) 06:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Ady Gil. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Terrillja talk 14:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
The talk page is for discussing changes to the articles, not discussing editors. Continuing to do so is disruption, which is a blockable offense. You didn't get your way, sorry, but move on. -- Terrillja talk 13:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Dude, this [2] is like the 3rd time in the discussions that you say some text has been removed, when it has only been moved. :-p At least this time, you did not start by saying your text was "scrubbed". :-) FYI, I really like your new phrasing about the congressional hearing. [3] -- Bertrc ( talk) 05:03, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Ghost, clearly you are new here to wikipedia. You were told at least three times why inserting the material you did was inappropriate as a) the insertions were not germane to the article and b) properly resided elsewhere. Why? Because they are assertions from those who question the veracity of the sequence of events established by the various investigations. And the page is, chiefly, the sequence of events as established by the various investigations. IOW, wading into debate over evidence is beyond the scope of the page. There is a brief section on those who believe otherwise which leads to a page on those various conspiracy theories. You might have more success there as that page is a bit of a mess. Canada Jack ( talk) 03:36, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Popular Mechanics have examined and rejected the theory. Specialists in structural mechanics and structural engineering generally accept the model of a fire-induced, gravity-driven collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, an explanation that does not involve the use of explosives. However, a current petition signed by more than a 1,000 architects and engineers states that they question the results of NIST, and calls for a renewed investigation.
That's in the third paragraph of World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.216.40.10 ( talk) 19:01, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

There may be more, but this is enough to illustrate a clear pattern of (in my opinon, baseless) accusations and verbal abuse. Ghostofnemo ( talk) 10:42, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Don't mean to assume the worst but wanted to double check to see if you were IP 114.161.229.100. This is just for transparency in case edit warring or socks come up. Nothing wrong with attempting the edits but wanted to double check. Cptnono ( talk) 07:57, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Since it is clear that you will refuse any changes, I have reported this to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. This escalation sucks but your continued pushing of this is not acceptable. If you would delay its inclusion until more info is available this could all be ignored but making the link even without the wikilink is not OK. I recommend you pick your battles better since this one line is not worth this much drama. Cptnono ( talk) 09:11, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that I am not a sock puppet for anyone, but merely, for reasons of time, a non-registered editor (working from home, 78...., and university 134...). I am sorry if you were under the impression that one of your fellow users was trying to set you up or something. Obviously, they weren't, and it was not my intention to do so either. I merely noticed there is a pattern in discussion pages you are involved in. It was not at all meant as an attack, but merely as a suggestion of dealing with it, see the last sentence. You seem to be very tense, judging from your reaction to my comment. I am sorry about that, but there is no need. Just please work on your way of debating. 78.55.19.26 ( talk) 10:54, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello Ghostofnemo. I have seen WP:AN3#User talk:Ghostofnemo reported by User:Cptnono and am trying to decide if Wikipedia policy has been violated on that article. From what I can see, editors strongly disagree about whether and how the 'hooding' episode ought to be reported in the article. A slow-moving edit war is still an edit war. I recommend that you either open a WP:Request for comment or at least conduct a thorough discussion on the talk page before you revert again. It is expected you will not keep on restoring controversial material unless it is supported by consensus. At present I find it hard to tell who is contributing the most to the problem, and unless that becomes more clear I'm thinking of imposing full protection for a long period. This would be designed to force editors to try to persuade one another, and not continue to revert. EdJohnston ( talk) 01:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PeterBethune with Earthrace.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Terrillja talk 13:38, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:PeterBethune with Earthrace.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Terrillja talk 15:21, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to File:PeterBethune with Earthrace.JPG. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. No where on the page does it say that the images are copyright free. Continuing to state so is considered disruption.

This is the only warning you are getting on this. You have continuously failed to adhere to WP:SYNTH. This is not acceptable because you are advancing a position by taking a source which does not discuss the subject of the article in any way and implying that it has something to do with his distancing himself from Watson. It is more POV from you and needs to stop. Cptnono ( talk) 01:56, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you violate Wikipedia's
no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, you may be
blocked from editing without further notice. This is a procedural warning. Restore orignal research again against overwhelming consensus and you will be blocked. In short order.

Watson claimed he hadn't seen the counsel yet. What he said is irrelevant, his word isn't worth anything, but regardless, you then mentioned that amnesty said they could hold people for x time without a lawyer. You are trying to connect 2 different things to make a reader think that there is some scandal when there isn't. That is the last I have to say on this. You simply refuse to get the point. I'm not sure if you are playing stupid or if you really just don't get it, but I'm done wasting my time trying to reason with you.-- Terrillja talk 07:28, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Your recent additions to your user page are in violation of WP:UP#POLEMIC. Cptnono ( talk) 23:33, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
The policy to which you linked pertains to external links, not references. I fail to see how a YouTube video can be an adequate reference, especially with such a controversial issue. On such an article, the sources need to be very strong. Furthermore, I have not edited that article in nearly two weeks, and the specific edits you refer to took place more than two weeks ago. Why the sudden concern? --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive' 14:31, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
I wanted to bring this to your talk page, as I feel like we're beginning to overwhelm the Bethune talk page, and I knew this was going to be long. But if you want to remove/move this info, that's fine. I just wanted to clarify a few points that I really think you're not understanding. On the ANI, you say "Personally, I question the competence of his attorney, 1 for not making his interrogation without legal counsel an issue, and 2 for his attitude towards being excluded from the trial (yeah, no big deal). A man on trial, and his lawyer is not there in court with him!!!!! It boggles the mind what his strategy is, unless they are intentionally trying to get Bethune the longest sentence possible to create a martyr for their cause..." Neither of these are issues that Harris can legally raise with the Japanese courts. Japan's legal system is not the same as the U.S.'s (or NZ's, or Australia's, or ...).
First, in Japan, a person does NOT have a legal right to counsel during interrogations. That's simply a fact. I, and I think you, believe that's a bad thing. But Harris, if he regularly practices law in Japan, would know that he cannot raise that issue either at trial or in the Japanese "court of public opinion," because this is standard practice. Heck, interrogations don't even have to be recorded in Japan (thus leading to AI's very legitimate concerns that confessions in Japan may be forced). But it is perfectly legal, and thus Harris cannot do anything about it.
Second, as for appearing in court, as I tried to explain on the talk page, because Harris is not a bengoshi (that is, a lawyer who has passed the Japanese bar), he has no legal right to appear in court on Bethune's behalf. In this case, this is exactly the same as in the U.S. That is, a Japanese lawyer cannot just show up in the U.S. and say, "I'm representing that man, let me in the court as his attorney." Unless the Japanese lawyer passes the relevant State bar, s/he cannot practice law in the U.S. (that is, U.S. law is actually more restrictive than Japanese). The confusion comes from the language issue. Japan has two (actually more, but for our purposes two) categories of attorneys. Harris is in the category that can work with a client, can help them prepare legal defenses and documents related to the country Harris is from, but cannot represent Bethune in court. As you yourself pointed out, Bethune does have attorneys in court representing him. So, as far as the court proceedings are concerned, Harris is just one of many public observers who want to witness the trial; limited space says they can't all be allowed into the court. But Harris has no lesser or greater claim to those seats than any other person, because he has no legal standing in the Japanese court.
I really do understand why this issue concerns you--I do see how it could appear to an outsider that Bethune is being treated unfairly. And maybe he is, in ways that haven't been documented yet. But the way Harris has been involved is completely fair, from the perspective of the Japanese judicial system. It would be very POV for us to apply our opinions about how a justice system should work to this particular case. And it would be WP:SYNTH to bring in outside sources that criticize the Japanese judicial system into this article.
In a certain sense, I appreciate the complex interaction that has been going on on the Bethune page. Prior to this, I was only a casual editor, not at all familiar with the intricacies of Wikipedia policy. In an attempt to better understand this situation, I've had to do quite a bit of research, so for me the experience has been very valuable. I hope you know that at least I, but also I think the other editors, aren't trying to push a POV or push you out, but are trying to follow policy and make the article better.

I've made some changes to the article, including a bit of copyediting, added who is claiming what and added some more details on the critique. I also cleaned up the references a bit (one was used twice, so used ref name to simplify things). The sources consistently use phrasing like "Sato claimed" when talking about the detention/interrogation, so we need to use that in the article. There's a few more details from the sources that could be added as well - I'll read through them tonight if I can and see what I can pull out.
I also removed the line from Amnestry International about the court system. That's WP:COATRACK - it's not tied to the article. There's article about the Japanese criminal court system, that's where it belongs. Ravensfire ( talk) 21:10, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
As a warning, we're both close to 3RR on this article. PLEASE, wait a day for some discussion to happen on this. Given the BRD cycle, if you don't revert my removal of the whaler's aims for at least a day, I won't revert you adding the GP changes for the same period. If that's not acceptable, we'll probably both end up being blocked for edit-warring as we're both obviously quite stubborn. Your call. Ravensfire ( talk) 19:57, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

That was a mistake, sorry about that. I did a history merge of the relevant edits in Cptnono's sandbox into the draft in project space, but I didn't notice that in the process I'd reverted to the last edit when it was still in his sandbox - the changes were too subtle to spot on glancing over the page, and I didn't think to check the diff of my edit.

You just need to stop. I know you are upset since you felt like you were censored. However, you were pushing for the article to assert that Bethune was mistreated. He has since come back and said that he received fair treatment. Wikipedia's system worked. You were wrong. The next step is seeking your permanent removal from Wikipedia. The reasoning is as follows:
So you can take the lesson you have learned (SYNTH is applied for reasons) and continue to edit but in a more productive fashion or we can take this to the next level in an attempt to see you blocked for an extended period. Cptnono ( talk) 06:50, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

GoN, not sure if you're aware of this, but there's a shortcut you can use for common references in an article. The first time you use it, add a name for the reference, like this:
Then, when you need to use the reference again, you just have to refer to the name, like this:
I did that on the NSARI page, and the ref list went from 21 entries to 15. It makes it easier for the reader to see which references are used multiple times. I think there used to be a bot that would go through and do that, or at least an automated tool to help, but I haven't found it recently. Nice article, BTW!

Greetings, Ghost. I see that you have continued to attempt to include what I consider to be well-sourced material in the 9/11 conspiracy theories article, including mention of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth which is currently only refered to in the 'External Links' section of the 9-11 conspiracy theories article and is the subject of a listing at the NPOV noticeboard, which I just discovered. I also notice removal of information regarding WTC7, and have commented on both issues at the talk page.
I may have this wrong, but I believe you are not violating WP:CANVASS if you alert parties, who have previously commented in a talk page discussion, to a noticeboard listing regarding the issue. In other words, please notify me and I will be happy to weigh in with my thoughts regarding the topic in question. And as I have noted there just now, fresh eyes are needed on this issue. One way to do that could be a WP:Rfc, though those wishing to cast a bad light on you may call that "forum shopping," since you already tried to bring attention to the issue via the NPOV board, which is not exactly a hotbed of activity. (Indeed, my fresh comment there in support is possibly the first time I have ever edited there.) But I do think, as I have noted previously, that the removal of sourced material can only be called censorship, at least as I see it. I think this entire matter is worthy of a deeper look. Best wishes, Jusdafax 09:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
I noticed your work on the Assistant Language Teacher page. That page needs more work, and the Interac (Japan) page needs more work to make it into the Japan and Education Projects. There's a lot of rumor, synthesis, and spam on it. Also, it's strange that the other private ALT providers don't have pages, since there may be more than 20 companies in operation, and about 5 major ones. I'm also wondering if it would be worthy to edit the ALT-related content up to the quality level where it could make its own kind of "ALT Project" status?

Thanks for uploading File:Jean-Bertrand-Aristide.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope ( talk) 18:15, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
At this point I really have to wonder what is going on here. If there is any more of this I am going to have to take the matter to a complaint board. I have never filed one at a major board like WP:ANI but if I see another example of this attacking then something is going to have to be done. Enough is enough. Please notify me of any such on my talk page. I honestly don't know about some of the issues you have fought for (I have just skimmed the lengthy Julian Assange talk page and need to read it more carefully) but no Wikipedian should have to take guff of the type you have. As for the sentence that seems to be so important to exclude, I believe care will have to be taken to do it right, but an uninvolved party or parties, or an Rfc in the proper venue, clearly seems called for. With continued deep concerns, Jus da fax 10:55, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Ghostofnemo: The reason why you are having so many problems is that you don't seem to understand our policies and guidelines and you repeatedly reject advice given to you.

You've been reported to WP:ANI. [9] A Quest For Knowledge ( talk) 18:11, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
GhostofNemo, I'm working my way through the material at the ANI notice. There's a lot, so I apologize in advance if I miss something critical.
I'll start by saying I'm not a big fan of topic bans, and would like to make sure they are only used as a last resort. I understand why some are frustrated by your edits, and I think I understand why you might think some editors are trying to keep relevant material out of an article. I'll share with you how I see it, and you can correct me if I'm missing major points.
On more than one occasions, you've attempted to add material to 9/11 conspiracy theories. Some of the points you've attempted to add are:
Am I correct that these are some of the points you've attempted to add to 9/11 conspiracy theories?
I understand why you might be concerned if you see editors reverting your additions, especially when you add sources. Do you understand why your edits were deleted?
I think the answer is exceedingly boring, so I wonder if you don't understand the reason, or perhaps just don't believe it is the real reason?
The boring answer is that sometimes Wikipedia article become too long, and there's a process for breaking out large articles into multiple articles. When that happens, it is common to have a top level article that summarizes (without all the detail) the key points of some of the other articles. For example, have you read World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories? It mentions both of the points I listed above.
If your goal is to make sure those points are adequately covered in a Wikipedia article about WTC conspiracy theories, then you should be happy to learn that they are. On the other hand, if you don't care that the points are in one article, and you insist that they belong in a different article, let's have a proper discussion about the proper location. Is that fair?-- SPhilbrick T 22:41, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry if I'm not explaining my position clearly enough. The collapse of WTC 7 is a key piece of evidence, perhaps THE key piece of evidence, in the minds of many conspiracy theorists, that something "funny" was going on on 9/11/2001. A reliable source (The New York Times) makes this point. According to the Wikipedia policy on neutral point of view, "Editing from a neutral point of view (NPOV) means representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources." Therefore, this material belongs in the 9/11 conspiracy theories article. It may also belong in other articles too, but it definitely belongs in this article, and removing this material repeatedly is the real problem, not the editors who rightfully add it.

Thanks for your contribution to 2005 YU55. However, I've removed it because the source you were using, BBC, was quoting NASA less than accurately, and your addition made it seem like more than it was. The actual quote comes from radar astronomer Lance Benner at JPL:
"The movie shows the small subset of images obtained at Goldstone on November 7 that have finished processing. By animating a sequence of radar images, we can see more surface detail than is visible otherwise," said radar astronomer Lance Benner, the principal investigator for the 2005 YU55 observations, from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "The animation reveals a number of puzzling structures on the surface that we don't yet understand. To date, we've seen less than one half of the surface, so we expect more surprises." [13]
I have no objection if you wish to add similar material back using that source, but the BBC made this out to be something it wasn't. Viriditas ( talk) 07:00, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
To write that someone claimed or asserted something can call their statement's credibility into question, by emphasizing any potential contradiction or implying a disregard for evidence
If you were discussing this on the article talk page, which is the appropriate place for this discussion, you would see that I have gone to great length to explain why the BBC and Washington Post are reliable sources, that the article should be neutral in tone, and should not be based on government press releases. This is not promoting conspiracy theories. Ghostofnemo ( talk) 07:23, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Greetings Ghostofnemo and thanks for your contributions. :D I'm an Aussie who just saw part one of the excellent film JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America on SBS TV. Very impressed, I sought more info only to find your own short but pithy article. I also checked out IMDB, which has two entries for what appear to be different films: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jfk_3_shots_that_changed_america/ and http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/harlem-globetrotters-the-team-that-changed-the-world2005/ Now I'm aware that IMDB's not a reliable source, but I found the sparsity of info on this extraordinary doco peculiar. Even the makers of the film had very little info: http://newanimalproductions.com/blog/?p=107 This must have been a huge labour to obtain, collate, and edit such a vast amount of film from different sources, and to present a coherent narrative. Did you succeed in locating any other info? I'd be happy to help with improving the article if you wish.

In answer to this [15], see WP:BTW: "Items within quotations should not generally be linked; instead, consider placing the relevant links in the surrounding text or in the "See also" section of the article". The hazard with wikilinking quotes text is that it can sometimes be misleading, in that it implies that the word or phrase is used in the way our article defines it. Actually, looking at the Biden quote in context, the reference to the Pentagon papers seems to have come first from the questioner - the comparison wasn't originally Biden's. [16] I wonder whether we should really use the quote in the way it is presented at all: it actually doesn't make a lot of sense without the context. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 02:17, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

At this point you should avoid reinserting it without significant changes. There is sufficient sourcing out there to merit inclusion, but you should make the relevance more blatant when you insert material. Use sources that plainly use the words "conspiracy theory" to describe the claims and try to find some major conspiracist sources that establish directly that it is a prominent theory. Otherwise your insertions are going to keep getting reverted.-- The Devil's Advocate ( talk) 23:23, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I tried to participate in your survey, but the link above is not working. I'm not very impressed by Wikipedia's dispute resolution process. It seems to be controlled by cabals of editors with an agenda, instead of being an objective process that neutrally enforces the rules, which themselves are often very strangely worded and interpreted. Please see my user page for examples of apparently neutrally worded, reliably sourced, relevant information that has been scrubbed from articles. Also see the Mongo dispute in the section above to see how the dispute resolution process works - attempts to add neutrally worded, reliably sourced, relevant information resulted in a topic ban on an editor. Deleting this information is apparently ok though if you can get a group of editors to say its ok, regardless of the objective reality of the situation. Ghostofnemo ( talk) 00:46, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Snorri offered a new table which I can see many western historian who support the death figure range from 200,000 to 300,00. Thus I think current figure 40,000 to 200,000 is not Neutral. Hence, I proposal "The number of deaths is contested among scholars, whose estimates range from 40,000 to 300,000". I need a consensus so I need to ask all editors who join this discussion before. Please go to the talk page of Nanking Massacre and leave you passage. I offer my proposal in section "table of death toll estimates by scholars".I use boldface to offer this proposal.

Your recent editing history at Police state shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

When you consider the state of the remainder of the current version of the article [20], who will benefit if the lead, scope, and body of the article stay the way they are now until 2017, hmm? Mention of the Democratic Party does look a tad funny up there in the final sentence of the lead right now, doesn't it? Look at that list of Contents! Hehe. Democratic Party is underlined in the lead and then after "History" we get to "Explanations for weakness" "Marxist-Leninist" "Trotskyist." How very odd. To a knowledgeable reader, it seems like someone who cared about reality ripped the article from one faction, handed it to another, and then everything suddenly stopped! But what would a less knowledgeable reader think? Consider the essay WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY. How was I able to actually succeed in violating that sequence of events and finally create a substantive change in the article's lead and scope? Arguing for a correct citation of Buhle in the lead and removing all reference to the Democratic Party in the lead just might work in your favor in the long run. It will make what's written at User:Flying Jazz less hilarious, but the fun for me about what's written there will probably be gone by 2017 anyway. Flying Jazz ( talk) 16:44, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

On Wikipedia you cannot make a claim about the existence of the U.S. Deep State based on a cool article in the Village Voice.

Apologies for not getting back to you while the RfD discussion was open. At first I was waiting for someone else to weigh in, then it was relisted and I forgot about it. If I had replied, I would have said something like that I think you're missing that communitarian has a specific meaning in political thought that isn't just "having to do with community", and that while utopian socialism certainly has much to do with community, I'm not sure it has much to do with communitarianism. But really, rather than arguing about our own intuitions about what these overlapping concepts mean, it's better to turn to whatever reliable sources are available. Looking for a good source that uses "communitarian socialism" to mean "utopian socialism", I found Arthur Bestor's Backwoods Utopias. Bestor uses the phrase to refer to projects we'd probably call utopian communities (another questionable redirect), but also clearly distinguishes communitarianism from utopianism (pages 230–1), which muddles things further. Do you know of any better sources? What I'm first and foremost trying to avoid here is the situation where a reader searches for "communitarian socialism" and doesn't find any mention of the phrase in the article to which they're directed. They might assume it's a synonym, but synonyms are rarely exact, and we also have lots of redirects from antonyms. So we risk leaving the clueless reader even more clueless than they were before. Let me know what you think. – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 20:17, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, just letting you know that the spelling of 'Maneuver' is one of those words that varies with British / American variants. Since its originally french, I prefer the 'o' version, but like most spelling there's always people that like it either way. I tend to leave varied spelling as I find it, unless its inconsistent within an article. Cheers Clovis Sangrail ( talk) 01:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Ghost, clearly you are new here to wikipedia. You were told at least three times why inserting the material you did was inappropriate as a) the insertions were not germane to the article and b) properly resided elsewhere. Why? Because they are assertions from those who question the veracity of the sequence of events established by the various investigations. And the page is, chiefly, the sequence of events as established by the various investigations. IOW, wading into debate over evidence is beyond the scope of the page. There is a brief section on those who believe otherwise which leads to a page on those various conspiracy theories. You might have more success there as that page is a bit of a mess. Canada Jack ( talk) 03:36, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Popular Mechanics have examined and rejected the theory. Specialists in structural mechanics and structural engineering generally accept the model of a fire-induced, gravity-driven collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, an explanation that does not involve the use of explosives. However, a current petition signed by more than a 1,000 architects and engineers states that they question the results of NIST, and calls for a renewed investigation.
That's in the third paragraph of World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.216.40.10 ( talk) 19:01, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello Ghostofnemo. I have seen WP:AN3#User talk:Ghostofnemo reported by User:Cptnono and am trying to decide if Wikipedia policy has been violated on that article. From what I can see, editors strongly disagree about whether and how the 'hooding' episode ought to be reported in the article. A slow-moving edit war is still an edit war. I recommend that you either open a WP:Request for comment or at least conduct a thorough discussion on the talk page before you revert again. It is expected you will not keep on restoring controversial material unless it is supported by consensus. At present I find it hard to tell who is contributing the most to the problem, and unless that becomes more clear I'm thinking of imposing full protection for a long period. This would be designed to force editors to try to persuade one another, and not continue to revert. EdJohnston ( talk) 01:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PeterBethune with Earthrace.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Terrillja talk 13:38, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:PeterBethune with Earthrace.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Terrillja talk 15:21, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to File:PeterBethune with Earthrace.JPG. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted.

If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. No where on the page does it say that the images are copyright free. Continuing to state so is considered disruption.

Watson claimed he hadn't seen the counsel yet.

I wanted to bring this to your talk page, as I feel like we're beginning to overwhelm the Bethune talk page, and I knew this was going to be long. But if you want to remove/move this info, that's fine. I just wanted to clarify a few points that I really think you're not understanding. On the ANI, you say "Personally, I question the competence of his attorney, 1 for not making his interrogation without legal counsel an issue, and 2 for his attitude towards being excluded from the trial (yeah, no big deal). A man on trial, and his lawyer is not there in court with him!!!!! It boggles the mind what his strategy is, unless they are intentionally trying to get Bethune the longest sentence possible to create a martyr for their cause..." Neither of these are issues that Harris can legally raise with the Japanese courts. Japan's legal system is not the same as the U.S.'s (or NZ's, or Australia's, or ...).
First, in Japan, a person does NOT have a legal right to counsel during interrogations. That's simply a fact. I, and I think you, believe that's a bad thing. But Harris, if he regularly practices law in Japan, would know that he cannot raise that issue either at trial or in the Japanese "court of public opinion," because this is standard practice. Heck, interrogations don't even have to be recorded in Japan (thus leading to AI's very legitimate concerns that confessions in Japan may be forced). But it is perfectly legal, and thus Harris cannot do anything about it.
Second, as for appearing in court, as I tried to explain on the talk page, because Harris is not a bengoshi (that is, a lawyer who has passed the Japanese bar), he has no legal right to appear in court on Bethune's behalf. In this case, this is exactly the same as in the U.S. That is, a Japanese lawyer cannot just show up in the U.S. and say, "I'm representing that man, let me in the court as his attorney." Unless the Japanese lawyer passes the relevant State bar, s/he cannot practice law in the U.S. (that is, U.S. law is actually more restrictive than Japanese). The confusion comes from the language issue. Japan has two (actually more, but for our purposes two) categories of attorneys. Harris is in the category that can work with a client, can help them prepare legal defenses and documents related to the country Harris is from, but cannot represent Bethune in court. As you yourself pointed out, Bethune does have attorneys in court representing him. So, as far as the court proceedings are concerned, Harris is just one of many public observers who want to witness the trial; limited space says they can't all be allowed into the court. But Harris has no lesser or greater claim to those seats than any other person, because he has no legal standing in the Japanese court.
I really do understand why this issue concerns you--I do see how it could appear to an outsider that Bethune is being treated unfairly. And maybe he is, in ways that haven't been documented yet. But the way Harris has been involved is completely fair, from the perspective of the Japanese judicial system. It would be very POV for us to apply our opinions about how a justice system should work to this particular case. And it would be WP:SYNTH to bring in outside sources that criticize the Japanese judicial system into this article.
In a certain sense, I appreciate the complex interaction that has been going on on the Bethune page. Prior to this, I was only a casual editor, not at all familiar with the intricacies of Wikipedia policy. In an attempt to better understand this situation, I've had to do quite a bit of research, so for me the experience has been very valuable. I hope you know that at least I, but also I think the other editors, aren't trying to push a POV or push you out, but are trying to follow policy and make the article better.

I've made some changes to the article, including a bit of copyediting, added who is claiming what and added some more details on the critique. I also cleaned up the references a bit (one was used twice, so used ref name to simplify things). The sources consistently use phrasing like "Sato claimed" when talking about the detention/interrogation, so we need to use that in the article. There's a few more details from the sources that could be added as well - I'll read through them tonight if I can and see what I can pull out.
I also removed the line from Amnestry International about the court system. That's WP:COATRACK - it's not tied to the article. There's article about the Japanese criminal court system, that's where it belongs. Ravensfire ( talk) 21:10, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

That was a mistake, sorry about that. I did a history merge of the relevant edits in Cptnono's sandbox into the draft in project space, but I didn't notice that in the process I'd reverted to the last edit when it was still in his sandbox - the changes were too subtle to spot on glancing over the page, and I didn't think to check the diff of my edit. I'll remember to doublecheck this in future. You could've reverted me immediately, especially as my edit summary didn't tally with making any changes to the page.

You just need to stop. I know you are upset since you felt like you were censored. However, you were pushing for the article to assert that Bethune was mistreated. He has since come back and said that he received fair treatment. Wikipedia's system worked. You were wrong. The next step is seeking your permanent removal from Wikipedia. The reasoning is as follows:
So you can take the lesson you have learned (SYNTH is applied for reasons) and continue to edit but in a more productive fashion or we can take this to the next level in an attempt to see you blocked for an extended period. Cptnono ( talk) 06:50, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

GoN, not sure if you're aware of this, but there's a shortcut you can use for common references in an article. The first time you use it, add a name for the reference, like this:
Then, when you need to use the reference again, you just have to refer to the name, like this:
I did that on the NSARI page, and the ref list went from 21 entries to 15. It makes it easier for the reader to see which references are used multiple times. I think there used to be a bot that would go through and do that, or at least an automated tool to help, but I haven't found it recently. Nice article, BTW!

I am pretty happy with the addition now, I think all the real noteworthy comments are included, I don't see a shopping list of every comment made would add anything, but feel free to raise any you really think are worth adding on the talkpage.

Greetings, Ghost. I see that you have continued to attempt to include what I consider to be well-sourced material in the 9/11 conspiracy theories article, including mention of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth which is currently only refered to in the 'External Links' section of the 9-11 conspiracy theories article and is the subject of a listing at the NPOV noticeboard, which I just discovered. I also notice removal of information regarding WTC7, and have commented on both issues at the talk page.
I may have this wrong, but I believe you are not violating WP:CANVASS if you alert parties, who have previously commented in a talk page discussion, to a noticeboard listing regarding the issue. In other words, please notify me and I will be happy to weigh in with my thoughts regarding the topic in question. And as I have noted there just now, fresh eyes are needed on this issue. One way to do that could be a WP:Rfc, though those wishing to cast a bad light on you may call that "forum shopping," since you already tried to bring attention to the issue via the NPOV board, which is not exactly a hotbed of activity. (Indeed, my fresh comment there in support is possibly the first time I have ever edited there.) But I do think, as I have noted previously, that the removal of sourced material can only be called censorship, at least as I see it. I think this entire matter is worthy of a deeper look. Best wishes, Jusdafax 09:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
I noticed your work on the Assistant Language Teacher page. That page needs more work, and the Interac (Japan) page needs more work to make it into the Japan and Education Projects. There's a lot of rumor, synthesis, and spam on it. Also, it's strange that the other private ALT providers don't have pages, since there may be more than 20 companies in operation, and about 5 major ones. I'm also wondering if it would be worthy to edit the ALT-related content up to the quality level where it could make its own kind of "ALT Project" status?

Thanks for uploading File:Jean-Bertrand-Aristide.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope ( talk) 18:15, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
At this point I really have to wonder what is going on here. If there is any more of this I am going to have to take the matter to a complaint board. I have never filed one at a major board like WP:ANI but if I see another example of this attacking then something is going to have to be done. Enough is enough. Please notify me of any such on my talk page. I honestly don't know about some of the issues you have fought for (I have just skimmed the lengthy Julian Assange talk page and need to read it more carefully) but no Wikipedian should have to take guff of the type you have. As for the sentence that seems to be so important to exclude, I believe care will have to be taken to do it right, but an uninvolved party or parties, or an Rfc in the proper venue, clearly seems called for. With continued deep concerns, Jus da fax 10:55, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

You've been reported to WP:ANI. [9] A Quest For Knowledge ( talk) 18:11, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
GhostofNemo, I'm working my way through the material at the ANI notice. There's a lot, so I apologize in advance if I miss something critical.
I'll start by saying I'm not a big fan of topic bans, and would like to make sure they are only used as a last resort. I understand why some are frustrated by your edits, and I think I understand why you might think some editors are trying to keep relevant material out of an article. I'll share with you how I see it, and you can correct me if I'm missing major points.
On more than one occasions, you've attempted to add material to 9/11 conspiracy theories. Some of the points you've attempted to add are:
Am I correct that these are some of the points you've attempted to add to 9/11 conspiracy theories?
I understand why you might be concerned if you see editors reverting your additions, especially when you add sources. Do you understand why your edits were deleted?
I think the answer is exceedingly boring, so I wonder if you don't understand the reason, or perhaps just don't believe it is the real reason?
The boring answer is that sometimes Wikipedia article become too long, and there's a process for breaking out large articles into multiple articles. When that happens, it is common to have a top level article that summarizes (without all the detail) the key points of some of the other articles. For example, have you read World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories? It mentions both of the points I listed above.
If your goal is to make sure those points are adequately covered in a Wikipedia article about WTC conspiracy theories, then you should be happy to learn that they are. On the other hand, if you don't care that the points are in one article, and you insist that they belong in a different article, let's have a proper discussion about the proper location. Is that fair?-- SPhilbrick T 22:41, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry if I'm not explaining my position clearly enough. The collapse of WTC 7 is a key piece of evidence, perhaps THE key piece of evidence, in the minds of many conspiracy theorists, that something "funny" was going on on 9/11/2001. A reliable source (The New York Times) makes this point. According to the Wikipedia policy on neutral point of view, "Editing from a neutral point of view (NPOV) means representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources." Therefore, this material belongs in the 9/11 conspiracy theories article. It may also belong in other articles too, but it definitely belongs in this article, and removing this material repeatedly is the real problem, not the editors who rightfully add it.

Thanks for your contribution to 2005 YU55. However, I've removed it because the source you were using, BBC, was quoting NASA less than accurately, and your addition made it seem like more than it was. The actual quote comes from radar astronomer Lance Benner at JPL:
"The movie shows the small subset of images obtained at Goldstone on November 7 that have finished processing. By animating a sequence of radar images, we can see more surface detail than is visible otherwise," said radar astronomer Lance Benner, the principal investigator for the 2005 YU55 observations, from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "The animation reveals a number of puzzling structures on the surface that we don't yet understand. To date, we've seen less than one half of the surface, so we expect more surprises." [13]
I have no objection if you wish to add similar material back using that source, but the BBC made this out to be something it wasn't. Viriditas ( talk) 07:00, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
To write that someone claimed or asserted something can call their statement's credibility into question, by emphasizing any potential contradiction or implying a disregard for evidence
If you were discussing this on the article talk page, which is the appropriate place for this discussion, you would see that I have gone to great length to explain why the BBC and Washington Post are reliable sources, that the article should be neutral in tone, and should not be based on government press releases. This is not promoting conspiracy theories. Ghostofnemo ( talk) 07:23, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Greetings Ghostofnemo and thanks for your contributions. :D I'm an Aussie who just saw part one of the excellent film JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America on SBS TV. Very impressed, I sought more info only to find your own short but pithy article. I also checked out IMDB, which has two entries for what appear to be different films: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jfk_3_shots_that_changed_america/ and http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/harlem-globetrotters-the-team-that-changed-the-world2005/ Now I'm aware that IMDB's not a reliable source, but I found the sparsity of info on this extraordinary doco peculiar. Even the makers of the film had very little info: http://newanimalproductions.com/blog/?p=107 This must have been a huge labour to obtain, collate, and edit such a vast amount of film from different sources, and to present a coherent narrative. Did you succeed in locating any other info? I'd be happy to help with improving the article if you wish.

In answer to this [15], see WP:BTW: "Items within quotations should not generally be linked; instead, consider placing the relevant links in the surrounding text or in the "See also" section of the article". The hazard with wikilinking quotes text is that it can sometimes be misleading, in that it implies that the word or phrase is used in the way our article defines it. Actually, looking at the Biden quote in context, the reference to the Pentagon papers seems to have come first from the questioner - the comparison wasn't originally Biden's. [16] I wonder whether we should really use the quote in the way it is presented at all: it actually doesn't make a lot of sense without the context. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 02:17, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

At this point you should avoid reinserting it without significant changes. There is sufficient sourcing out there to merit inclusion, but you should make the relevance more blatant when you insert material. Use sources that plainly use the words "conspiracy theory" to describe the claims and try to find some major conspiracist sources that establish directly that it is a prominent theory. Otherwise your insertions are going to keep getting reverted.-- The Devil's Advocate ( talk) 23:23, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I tried to participate in your survey, but the link above is not working. I'm not very impressed by Wikipedia's dispute resolution process. It seems to be controlled by cabals of editors with an agenda, instead of being an objective process that neutrally enforces the rules, which themselves are often very strangely worded and interpreted. Please see my user page for examples of apparently neutrally worded, reliably sourced, relevant information that has been scrubbed from articles. Also see the Mongo dispute in the section above to see how the dispute resolution process works - attempts to add neutrally worded, reliably sourced, relevant information resulted in a topic ban on an editor. Deleting this information is apparently ok though if you can get a group of editors to say its ok, regardless of the objective reality of the situation. Ghostofnemo ( talk) 00:46, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Snorri offered a new table which I can see many western historian who support the death figure range from 200,000 to 300,00. Thus I think current figure 40,000 to 200,000 is not Neutral. Hence, I proposal "The number of deaths is contested among scholars, whose estimates range from 40,000 to 300,000". I need a consensus so I need to ask all editors who join this discussion before.

Your recent editing history at Police state shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
The content has been discussed in a number of forums and every time the consensus has been everyone but you thinks its inappropriate. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:57, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

On 1 February 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2014 NYPD officer killings, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a man shot two New York City officers to death, ostensibly in revenge for the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, and then committed suicide? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2014 NYPD officer killings. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited American Left, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Burlington. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I'd appreciate an explanation of your edit at [19] to remove a correct citation of the most recent preface on page vii of Buhle in combination with the citation of the older preface on page ix of Buhle after my posts at Talk:American_Left#Encyclopedia_of_the_American_Left_2nd_ed._1998_verification_failure_.28use_of_first_edition.27s_preface.29 and Talk:American_Left#discussion. If you don't want to repair it, that's your call, but I am curious why you returned the citation to its previous verifiably false state of relying only on an outdated preface. Flying Jazz ( talk) 15:56, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
There are actually still two cited references in the lead. I will look for a better source, but this seems "Paris is the capital of France" obvious, at least to Americans. Ghostofnemo ( talk) 00:28, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
When you consider the state of the remainder of the current version of the article [20], who will benefit if the lead, scope, and body of the article stay the way they are now until 2017, hmm? Mention of the Democratic Party does look a tad funny up there in the final sentence of the lead right now, doesn't it? Look at that list of Contents! Hehe. Democratic Party is underlined in the lead and then after "History" we get to "Explanations for weakness" "Marxist-Leninist" "Trotskyist." How very odd. To a knowledgeable reader, it seems like someone who cared about reality ripped the article from one faction, handed it to another, and then everything suddenly stopped! But what would a less knowledgeable reader think? Consider the essay WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY. How was I able to actually succeed in violating that sequence of events and finally create a substantive change in the article's lead and scope? Arguing for a correct citation of Buhle in the lead and removing all reference to the Democratic Party in the lead just might work in your favor in the long run. It will make what's written at User:Flying Jazz less hilarious, but the fun for me about what's written there will probably be gone by 2017 anyway. Flying Jazz ( talk) 16:44, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for creating the article Deep state in the United States. For the last 2 and a half years I have been collecting references for exactly this article in the list article State within a state. Here is one more that I added today that might be useful.
P.S. - In fact I copied the references myself. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and sources. On Wikipedia you cannot make a claim about the existence of the U.S. Deep State based on a cool article in the Village Voice. I am not suggesting you did but a twelve inch pile of books is always better. In fact this article may have been one of the most difficult on Wikipedia to create. I still cannot understand why it took so long.

With this edit you added a whole bunch of titles to List of alternative media (U.S. political left) citing "Lingeman pp. 117-144", but didn't actually cite that source or provide any additional information about it.

Apologies for not getting back to you while the RfD discussion was open. At first I was waiting for someone else to weigh in, then it was relisted and I forgot about it. If I had replied, I would have said something like that I think you're missing that communitarian has a specific meaning in political thought that isn't just "having to do with community", and that while utopian socialism certainly has much to do with community, I'm not sure it has much to do with communitarianism. But really, rather than arguing about our own intuitions about what these overlapping concepts mean, it's better to turn to whatever reliable sources are available. Looking for a good source that uses "communitarian socialism" to mean "utopian socialism", I found Arthur Bestor's Backwoods Utopias. Bestor uses the phrase to refer to projects we'd probably call utopian communities (another questionable redirect), but also clearly distinguishes communitarianism from utopianism (pages 230–1), which muddles things further. Do you know of any better sources? What I'm first and foremost trying to avoid here is the situation where a reader searches for "communitarian socialism" and doesn't find any mention of the phrase in the article to which they're directed. They might assume it's a synonym, but synonyms are rarely exact, and we also have lots of redirects from antonyms. So we risk leaving the clueless reader even more clueless than they were before. Let me know what you think. – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 20:17, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
