A long time ago you helped develop this article, Russia, South Africa and India are notably absent from the article, despite seemingly being major contributors. I also added a short note about Ireland.
It would be appreciated, if you could find some experienced contributors to help to write sections on the regions concerned. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 12:38, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
I noticed your reversion of Betempte's edits to the Westbrook Pegler article. He has also made questionable edits to the William S. Burroughs article in which it is clear that he finds Burroughs' political views, or rather the views he implies Burroughs held, to be objectionable. It seems that Betempte cannot make edits without adding his opinion about the subject. This is something that may need to be watched. Cheers! --- The Old Jacobite The '45 19:27, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
Can you explain this edit? It seems to me to replace perfectly good punctuation with strange punctuation that makes nonsense of the sentence. Have I misunderstood? I don't understand the edit summary comment about "reject[ing] the Wikipedia ethos", but whatever you think of an editor, that does not justify reverting a perfectly constructive edit.

I came across your user page and then read the article: Military History on the Electronic Frontier. To prove I read it: there is an error in the caption to Chart 2. It should read: Edit history for World War II: edits per month 2001-2012. Same for Chart 3. Want other typos pointed out? I thought the article was interesting as a kind of history of Wikipedia. The item about the "program in India to incorporate editing in university classes" where "there was so much blatant cutting and pasting from textbooks that senior Wikipedia editors were outraged and the experiment was shut down by the Foundation in midstream." was eye-opening. I was interested in your statement "collaboration behind the scenes is not allowed". I didn't know that. I've actually tried to get people to help with troublemakers - to no avail.

Hello Rjensen.
I have been working on
J. Donald Cameron article. He was the Secretary of War under President
Ulysses S. Grant. He was also
Pennsylvania's U.S. Senator for almost 20 years. His article is was really stunted. If you have time I believe Cameron, son of
Simon Cameron, deserves improvement. Thanks.

Hi Rjensen,
I wonder if you could help clarify your recent edit at Lucian Truscott. You changed
to
This description of the 1954 Guatemala coup does not square with my understanding of the events. From what I have read the government was not particularly anti-American, and the coup was not particularly local—it was launched by an outside force invading from Honduras (albeit led by an exiled Guatemalan military officer). I am interested in reading any sources you might have on this topic. I'm also curious in any light you might shed on Truscott's particular role in these events.

I see that you reverted my removal of the citation template link. I disagree with its restoration. The template link is really for internal usage by editors, not people reading the article to understand what JSTOR is about. I believe that the link is also the only template that is linked to its related article: arXiv doesn't link to {{ cite arXiv}}, digital object identifier doesn't link to {{ cite doi}}, Handle System doesn't link to {{ cite hdl}}, International Standard Book Number doesn't link to {{ cite isbn}}, and PubMed doesn't link to {{ cite pmid}}.Links to templates for citations are really best left where they are already listed in the citation template documentation pages. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 23:07, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I have been standardizing and cleaning up the intro section of every single US presidential election article. In the few days I have done all elections from 1900 onward and will finish up the rest next week. The election articles are currently a mess and start in various different ways and mention different information. This unacceptable. Many of them start with automatic details in the first sentence, yet the ones from 2000 onward were generally fine. I have been doing the good duty by giving them all the same basic intro that the 2000s ones had plus some others (the XXth quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November X, XXXX, etc.) and rearranged the paragraphs to flow more nicely. In addition, links to the major parties were standardized... many linked to the parties themselves (as in "Republican Party (United States)") but many linked to the histories of both parties, which makes no sense as we were only talking about the parties themselves and any article would mention so. My edits made all of the election intros neat and cleaned up. There is absolutely no reason why they should be entirely reverted.
You reverted my edits to 1900, 1904, 1912, and 1924, none of the others, and yet you even reverted someone else's edit BACK TO MINE for the 1972 one! Do you even know what you are reverting? I look at your edit history and it seems to be mostly just random reverts here and there. For example, why wouldn't you revert 1908 or 1916... when my edits there are exactly the same as in the years you reverted? It looks like you just chose a few random elections out of many to revert and one of them was even back to one of the ones I made (as in you either supported it or you weren't paying attention, and I'm assuming the latter). You didnt even give reasons. Please realize that your edits are completely unjustified and harmful to the standardization and cleanup of the election articles. Go back and look at every single election from 1900 onward and see how nice and neat they are compared to before my edits. I made the same edits to all of them- nothing special to 1900, 1904, 1912, and 1924. Because I believe you do not know what you were doing. Appreciate and defend it, and if you have any concerns please respond here. I am editing from a college, so the IP address changes every day, and thus you shouldn't respond on this IP's talk page as I probably won't see it. I edited the blocks of 1960-2012, 1940-1956, and 1900-1936 on the same IP for each, with this one reverting the reverts you made to mine. 134.139.212.135 ( talk) 10:16, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
User Npellegrino has been revising the Treaty of Tripoli with a more Evangelical slant. I noticed he has reapplied changes formally watered down or reverted by you: [1] Additions I have checked were not supported by the citations that he added along with them. I partially reverted one. It seems he is attacking the article by a fragmentation grenade; Make enough changes and some will stay. I do not have enough comfort to repair the damage. What is the correct action?

Hello Rjensen. Thanks for your edits on Grant's peace policy in the Presidency of Ulysses S. Grant article. I added information more information on Sec. Columbus Delano in Grant's presidential article. I have recently been editing the Zachariah Chandler, Grant's Secretary of Interior after Sec. Delano, article. From my research Sec. Chandler had massive reforms in consolidation with President Grant in the Department of Interior. I believe Chandler's article needs to be improved in narration and context. Please feel free to edit or make any improvements. Thanks. Cmguy777 ( talk) 18:02, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
With the exception of the Naval Department, I believe that there is signifigance in noting that although Grant defended "corrupt" associates, he also appointed reformers to several Departments, including the Postal Service, the Interior, and the Attorney General's Office.

Hi Rejnsen. Sorry to complain, but why did you undo this?
The version I restored was the one present in this article for prolonged period of time. In the main part, it appears to me well referenced and justified. A past single IP edition basically changed the words to opposite (and rather weird), and one word to a term which is not in the dictionary. That's why I undid this revision. Suggest you reconsider.

My edit conflicted paste ran over your change (thereby reverting it), so a couple words to explain the weird form of the Gamaliel Bradford link. There are already two Gamaliel Bradfords with bios on WP and a disambiguation page for the name. The "(banker)" differentiates from the two others and is on the disambiguation page in that form. An unlinked listing of the name is apt to have double square brackets added by a drive-by editor, which will result in an un-disambiguated blue link, which is sort of a no-no. So I put up the somewhat unusual long form as a red link as the best long-term solution. He was a key figure in the group and needs to be in the member list whether there is a WP article on him or not. It wouldn't be out of the question that someone takes his bio on at some future date.... Anyway, that's the rationale there, let me know if you think I'm way off...

"perceptions" is a postmodern approach that would have been quite unlikely in 1900. Rjensen ( talk) 19:15, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
What is more, due to ethno-politic tensions in Bosnia at the time, "Bosnian", "Croatian", and "Serbian" was officially subsumed under "Serbo-Croatian" in 1907 after earlier attempts to introduce a unitary Bosnian language had failed. By the census in 1910, as a compromise, Bosnia was the only country within the AH empire that recorded "Serbo-Croatian" whether or not the language was "really" Bosnian, Serbian or Croatian among the population. For this reason, the map cannot be said to represent the existence of an ethnic census, but an interpretation based on the pooling of all "Serbian", "Croatian" and "Serbo-Croatian" speakers into "Croats and Serbs" without further demographic distinction. 90.230.54.125 ( talk) 20:50, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
