Thanks for taking up the topic at British Empire. You will find numerous sources with direct links for easy verification at Famine in India. It is an article I have substantially expanded and my goal is to get it promoted as a GA. Since you have an NPOV barnstar, can I ask you to please take a look at the POV tag issue? That would be the next step towards taking the article to GA. Feel free to do a peer review if you have the time and inclination. You can also find several sources in the templates I've created, for example see the "Famines in British India" template (deaths are in millions). Zuggernaut ( talk) 18:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

A request for
formal mediation of the dispute relating to
Ed Miliband was recently filed. As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. The process of
mediation is entirely voluntary and focuses exclusively on the content issues over which there is disagreement. Please review the
request page and the
guide to mediation requests and then indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you would agree to participate. Discussion relating to the mediation request welcome at the case talk page.
Thank you, AGK 11:56, 25 November 2010 (UTC) |

Hi, Jayen, thanks for your thoughtful comments about one source mentioned in the request for arbitration enforcement about an editor who reverted including that source in an article. I have to say that I am puzzled that including sourced content in articles has proven to be as controversial as it is since I became a wikipedian in April 2010. I see that you have participated in taking several articles through the Did You Know?, Good Article, and Featured Article processes. I'd love to learn from your example how to do that. I have in mind to expand two long-time articles (a stub and an article long tagged for lacking any sources) through each of those stages, and I have been gathering sources and editing off-line to prepare for that. If at any time you have advice for me on how to edit better, I would be glad to hear it. I note that you reply on your own talk page to posts on your talk page. Please feel free in turn to use my talk page to reach me any time you have suggestions for me. -- WeijiBaikeBianji ( talk, how I edit) 22:24, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
I'll be happy to comment and or help if I can on the AE appeals. Thanks for bringing it my attention.( olive ( talk) 05:46, 28 November 2010 (UTC))
Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:

Hi Jayen466. Apologies for my remark on that talk page. I made it, and now regret making it but can't unmake it. It was definitely unwarranted. -- RegentsPark ( talk) 21:18, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As you just participated in discussions on a closely related topic (also a current AfD re a Jewish list), which may raise some of the same issues, I'm simply mentioning that the following are currently ongoing: AfDs re lists of Jewish Nobel laureates, entertainers, inventors, actors, cartoonists, and heavy metal musicians. Best.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 08:12, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
I would appreciate your take on this. Regards, -- Ohconfucius ¡digame! 09:11, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
About this, you might wish to read Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines#Content_changes, which says, "you should not remove any change solely on the grounds that there is no formal record indicating consensus for it." Editors at policy and guideline pages aren't actually required to obtain permission before making changes.
That said, I do think the changes could be improved. I'll read through the discussion later, and see if I can help. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 18:47, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
yes, finally finishing it I hope. Although I'm planning to add a few tidbits I've found to a couple of articles. Hoping to get back to wikilife in the new year. auntieruth (talk) 23:17, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for this post. [1] We are in complete agreement. Should you run into any more difficulties, feel free to ask me for help. I am quite sympathetic to the concerns of editors who have generated quality content. Jehochman Talk 12:05, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
I think you missed my points.
I do understand your original claim of a BLP violation now and agree a SPS shouldn't be used when it says negative things about others that can't otherwise be verified. Hobit ( talk) 17:13, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Jayen466, in a discussion between Jehochman and Delicious carbuncle at User talk:Jehochman, Jehochman suggested that Delicious carbuncle and I could try to move forward collaboratively together, by jointly working on a quality improvement project - striving to bring an article's quality up to being ready for WP:GAC or even maybe WP:FAC. I have suggested this recommendation from Jehochman to Delicious carbuncle, in a post to User talk:Delicious carbuncle. I have recommended a quality improvement project on the book Slaves of Sleep, a book well-regarded that received positive reception about the writing of its author Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard; the book is even considered a science fiction "classic". Jehochman suggested including you as well in this quality improvement effort. I would very much like to work with you and Delicious carbuncle together collaboratively to improve the quality of the Wikipedia article on this book which is well-regarded in literary circles. Would you like to work collaboratively with me on this, to improve that article's quality status, together? :) -- Cirt ( talk) 18:26, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
JN: at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Also_do_religions_and_orientations you said you'd finished the atheism lists, and were moving on to orientation and religion lists ... do you need any help finding them? A few are:
etc, etc. I'd help out, but one needs admin privilege to add EditNotices, as you know. Thanks. -- Noleander ( talk) 13:48, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
The subject of a BLP, just approached me about her picture in an article. article is here message from her is here. Like some advice on how to approach? The Resident Anthropologist ( talk) 03:54, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Please if you have time and you know anything to it (I have seen that you have made edits in the article area which owns relations on it) , please look on the article Audio theatre, somebody placed a erase discussion on it. after we have had a merge discussion. It would be interesting what you would say to the merge and the delete discussion. And possibly it could help to contact other people that they should help also. )-: Merry Xmas -- Soenke Rahn ( talk) 13:30, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
