It is reliably reported that John the Baptist was a hamster. Really.
Preached in the wilderness Matthew 3:1
John the Baptist had the same tailor as Elijah. (Compare Matthew 3:4, Mark 1:6 with NIV: 2 Kings 1:8, HE: 2 Kings 1:8, KJV: 2 Kings 1:8)
Preached repentance to avoid the day of judgement Mark 1:4 "kingdom of heaven" Matthew 3:2 and punishment of the wicked Matthew 3:10 Luke 3:7–9
Positive ethical guidance Luke 3:10–14
It was claimed he fulfilled prophecy of Isaiah Matthew 3:3 Luke 3:4 John 1:23

On Ten Commandments you have been making edits to the effect that Sinai and Horeb are different mountains. This is in complete contrast with generally accepted interpretations, according to which these are two names for the same mountain. I think it would be better if you'd discuss this on Talk:Ten Commandments first. There may be a problem with emphasis that we need to address. For one thing: which sources can you provide that Horeb and Sinai are different mountains? JFW | T@lk 22:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Please note I did not revert your links, in the first place, but you ask which policy controls links? It took me a long time to find this out when I needed to know.
To lift from "Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)"
"Do not make too many links. An article may be overlinked if any of the following is true:"
"A link for any single term is excessively repeated in the same article... ... Remember, the purpose of links is to direct the reader to a new spot at the point(s) where the reader is most likely to take a temporary detour due to needing more information;
"However, duplicating an important link distant from a previous occurrence in an article may well be appropriate ... ... Good places for link duplication are often the first time the term occurs in each article subsection."
The link is, and should be, in the introductory para, and when the main text gets round to it in line 65 - the others are optional. I note you have reinstated 3 links, all at least 10 lines apart, whereas you originally added 6 - IMHO the balance is now about right

Thanks for the explanation. I'm sorry I was tired and distracted by non-Wikipedia things so I got confused about the edit history. I still don't understand why maize has been unilaterally declared to be the primary meaning of corn. It depends entirely on who you are, where you are and what you are hearing or reading. As someone pointed out, a lot of people in this world read the bible, for example, and none of the many occurrences of the word corn in the bible refer to maize. Anyway, I give up.

Hi SamuelTheGhost. I'm glad to see you contributing regularly at Bates method.

At this point I don't really think this is worth taking up further but at least the reader will be cautioned. PSWG1920 ( talk) 04:32, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi SamuelTheGhost. I have copied most of Margaret Darst Corbett, the current version of which you created entirely, into the "After Bates" section of Bates method. You could be a big help with that section as you seem to have Pollack's book. I am hoping that more of its text will turn up online somewhere. PSWG1920 ( talk) 19:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
The referencing for the Corbett section still seems a bit unclear. For example, is Pollack the source for the entire discussion of the legal case? And what is the source for Corbett consulting Bates about her husband's eyesight? I'm thinking about nominating Bates method for a Good article in the near future, but the "After Bates" section still needs some work. PSWG1920 ( talk) 05:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Since you said that you are intrigued by my username, I'll explain it. My selection of a username which refers to Bates' book was partly tongue-in-cheek, since I have seen "Bates cultists" derided by skeptics, mainly on sci.med.vision. But around the time I signed up here, I had also been influenced by some individuals in online communities who could perhaps aptly be termed "Bates cultists", though I'm not convinced that they're wrong. These people believe that Bates' unaltered writings remain the best source of information about vision improvement, and that he did not exaggerate his success in the clinic, but that subsequent Bates teachers failed to get his caliber of results because they diluted the method. Someone characterized the 1943 revision of the book as being "corrupted". I'm now somewhat less inclined toward this viewpoint than I was when I started editing the article, and really I have become more doubtful about the Bates method in general. I've experienced mild temporary improvements which could be explained as ciliary spasm, and more dramatic temporary improvements which may result from a natural contact lens caused by moisture. Which is why I created the "Claimed success" section. PSWG1920 ( talk) 05:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Samuel, I enjoyed reading your comment on my talk page. I haven't responded because I believe it's DGG's turn. :) I think the issue of elitism, and the related questions and issues of how sources and articles should be evaluated is at the heart of many of the disputes here. There is a divide, as you've recognized, between the academic, scientific, "fringe", and mass audiences. I think it's interesting to see how it plays out on Wikipedia, and the discussion was my effort to dialog with someone who seems to use an ends justify the means approach to advance the scientific academic sphere without recognizing the contributions and value of other spheres of knowledge. Take care and Happy Thanksgiving, even if you're not one of us American turkeys.

Since you presented a strong case for making corn into an article and separating out corn (disambiguation), could you perhaps weigh in on the talk page.

Hi SamuelTheGhost. Thank you very much for posting the information about the Woods report in Behavioral optometry and on the Bates method talk page. I am increasingly thinking that the "Ophthalmological Research" section as it is should be deleted from the Bates method article, for reasons which you have raised before. I've thought for a while that the section was misleading and a distraction, but only recently have I sorted out exactly what the problem is. There's no indication from the AAO report (which the section is mainly a summary of) that any of the reviewed studies tested any method which has actually been claimed to improve eyesight. Now if we could find records of a formal controlled study in which a Bates teacher participated, working with subjects while a third-party measured results, that would merit a lot of space in the article. But I'm not sure that has ever happened. PSWG1920 ( talk) 03:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Of course, a problem with figuring out what NPOV means in application to any one article is that parts of the policy, especially UNDUE which gets brought up a lot here, could be more clear regarding different situations. The reason it is not, I have realized, is that clear policies are difficult to gain anything close to community consensus for. Nonetheless, I was thinking it might be a good idea to start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Neutral point of view (and maybe then an RfC) asking whether in the case of an article about a theory which is generally considered pseudoscience, does WP:Undue weight mean that the majority of the article should be specifically about criticisms, as Ronz has stated.

Hi, SamuelTheGhost. Our policy is that biographical article titles reflect the best known name of the subject. Thus, we have an article on Edward Elgar, but not one on Edward William Elgar (except as a redirect page), because nobody except government record-keepers referred to him that way. And it's George W. Bush, not George Walker Bush. Conversely, we have an article on John Charles Thomas because he was known professionally and generally by all three names, not just as "John Thomas". Clutsam is known as "George Clutsam", never as "George Howard Clutsam". There's no issue of disambiguation with George Clutsam, but if there were, the better approach would be to have "George Clutsam (composer)" and "George Clutsam (astrologer/taxidermist/whatever)", because using the middle names would assume people knew that the one with the middle name Howard was a composer and the one with Murgatroyd was a taxidermist, which would not, I suggest, be a useful assumption to make.

Hi SamuelTheGhost
I am the person who created the page for Eleazar (painter) - I believe you are the administrator who deleted the page, aren’t you? If so, can we please review this deletion? First of all, it’s necessary to say that I only understand a little English. Apart from that, I want you to know that Eleazar is a notable painter because he is known in Spain, specially Barcelona, and in other European countries like Switzerland (specially the canton of the Jura). I enclosure a selection of his Curriculum Vitae with his lasts exhibition. In addition, you have to know that Eleazar has been selected by the FIFA in representation of Spain for the exhibition that will take place on the occacion of the South Africa 2010 World Cup; a exhibition that will cross 32 countries around the world.

This edit was inappropriate, for multiple reasons. First off, the page is undeniably listed at a project page for discussion about whether it should be deleted or not, so it needs a tag indicating that. Removing the tag doesn't stop the listing. Second, you labeled the edit "rvv", which, in case you don't know, means a revert due to vandalism. The edit was not in any, way, shape or form vandalism. See the vandalism policy , and specifically what isn't considered vandalism if you are unclear on our rules. Labeling edits you do not like as vandalism is extremely uncivil.
I don't know how long you've been around Wikipedia, but just from the sheer number of posts on your talk page you obviously aren't a complete newbie.

Thank you very much for the Antonia Orfield link.

I recently learned that anything published in the U.S. between 1923 and 1963 had its copyright expire after 28 years if it wasn't renewed. [9] This likely explains why Quackwatch can reproduce an entire chapter of Philip Pollack's 1956 book. [10] Now, if we had the entire book online, such as at a place like Scribd.com, its accessibility would no longer be a problem, and at least some of the Gardner references could be replaced.

I agree that "X-language surnames" is not commonly found in any literature about the subject of surnames. Why, then, did our encyclopedia move to this system?

Badagnani ( talk) 15:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
I think you understand now that, contrary to your wish, "those who created this situation" are not ever inclined to be the ones to "put things right"; they simply insist on damaging a system, then leave others to clean up--even after being asked 20, 50, or 100 times to assist in the reconstruction of a categorization system they insisted on breaking. They simply move on to other things. If you are able to convince that editor to use his bot powers to repopulate those categories I will be very pleasantly surprised. Badagnani ( talk) 16:38, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I actually have no knowledge of this material at all, and don't really care about the category structure. I just happened to have noticed that among Harrison, Hanks, and a number of other books cited, only the 1969 version was locally available to me. In my mind, where the name was originally found and is still in use and what language it originally came are two different facets of a name (like, for example, Category:Films by topic and Category:Films by type) and should be covered separately, but I honestly don't care if we don't have categories. But, being where we are, if I'm reading your concern correctly
What language would the name come from otherwise? A google search isn't indicative to me; there is a source calling it Hebrew in origin and I suspect there will other examples as well. The fact that Harrison's definition of the United Kingdom is too expansive for our current usage means that whatever he calls an "United Kingdom" surname is inappropriate, but that doesn't seem to have an impact on his theories as to the names in the book. Yes, there are some Irish names in there that we today wouldn't include, but I'm not using it for "is this name a UK name or not"; I'm using this for "is this name from Hebrew, Celtic, Gaelic, whatever." As to not using a single source, I'll agree to that, but right now, 99% of the articles have ZERO sources, so I'll take have a 1912 source over nothing (again, unless you want to go to the "Aaron is possibly Egyptian" argument for some reason). I'm just concerned about wanting to move the articles from Category:Surnames down somewhere. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 06:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
In your edit in Chemical Revolution you deleted a source due to a dead link - but you could have easily found the new link by just searching for "Chemical Revolution" on the university page. When you encounter a dead link, please try to fix it, or, failing that, tag it with "{{dead link}}". Maybe you can't connect to a site due to some error with your own connection, or the site is temporarily down. When another user encounters that tag, and the link is still dead, he'll know it wasn't a fluke.

Hey there,
I saw your note on Van Hoonacker, and well: the right way to write that last name is with a capital V (names like that in Flemish with a small v indicate that the family's nobility, which Van Hoonacker's family is not, I know some of the descendants and am - among others - working with Van Hoonacker's personal archives). So, if this answers your question: the capital V is the right way to go, I may have forgotten to change some of them, feel free to do so!

You are recieving this notice as you have participated in the Admin Recall discussion pages.
A poll was held on fourteen proposals, and closed on 16th November 2009. Only one proposal gained majority support - community de-adminship - and this proposal is now being finessed into a draft RFC Wikipedia talk:Community de-adminship/Draft RfC, which, if adopted, will create a new process.
After tolling up the votes within the revision proposals for CDA, it emerged that proposal 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.
A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;
This is from a while ago, but your response took my quote way out of context. You said the statement "Personally I don't like SPAs" is a gross violation of good faith, when clearly if you read the response fully, the statement refers to disliking SPA tags, not disliking SPAs. I certainly mispoke myself and edited my comment to reflect this. Thank you for correcting me. MATThematical ( talk) 22:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 18:36, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I've modified the categories to make clear that it's a name page. It also serves a disambiguation purpose, as many name pages do. The name can perfectly well be its own primary topic; that helps to prevent the arbitrary grabbing of common Arabic names as primary topic names for articles about fairly obscure people, as has often happened. SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 21:43, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
I agree that there is a serious issue here. Let's discuss it in the context of Abdur Rahim. There you created the page Abdur Rahim (disambiguation), which lists just five dab entries, selected apparently on the basis of the way the name appears in the wikipedia article. As you know nobody is really called just Abdur Rahim without further names, and there are about 50 articles on the subject of people one of whose names is Abdur Rahim, with transliterations often widely varying for the same person. Someone looking for someone of that name who found their way to that dab page, and not finding the man or woman they were looking for there, would probably conclude that the article they wanted didn't exist. This is not user-friendly, and destroys the whole point of having a dab page.
In deciding how to structure these things, we need to be guided by the following:
If you want to experiment I suggest you use Abdur Rahim, since you've already started. SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 15:11, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Samuel, after moving a page you may replace the remaining redirect with an article or disambig page. This would prevent fixing redirects to the new target. If you would keep that redirect without fixing its redirects just write _STATICREDIRECT_ to its content. I've changed the behavior of redirect bots especially for this request to keep redirects pointing to a static redirect unchanged. This gives you enough time to check every link. If you are ready you should remove this magic word. I guess this is in your sense and the best solution for your work. Regards Xqt ( talk) 20:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
"This template is only used for kings, etc." Is that so? then why is it, at the same time, used for letters of the Alphabet, Periodic elements, Books of the Bible, legendary High Priests, and other such unrelated topics?
In 1 Kings 19:16, God commands Elijah to anoint Elisha as "Prophet in your place" (literally, "in your office"). One could easily estimate other prophets who might have assumed this office as well, but that would be OR so I limited the template, until other users could expand it, to Elijah and Elisha. -- Nate5713 ( talk) 22:14, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm coming across as un-helpful. I don't understand what your issue is completely and have been trying to tell you what current practice is, not necessarily to tell you what precisely you should do. I am against a hybrid page as one of the goals of WP:MOSDAB is to have a consistent "look" to the page for fast navigation. If we have a hybrid, people will be a little confused and slow down.
Its sounds like you want to create a name page for the Arabic names. You don't NEED to create a dab page. If it becomes apparent one is necessary, it can be created. But if you are going to start with all the articles about people that contain the name - and include a paragraph about the name - it sounds like you are completely within the "name article" space. Why worry about a dab page? Why not just do name pages? --John ( User:Jwy/ talk) 22:32, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. I absolutely think the templates are useful; even if there aren't articles in those categories now, there have been and surely will be again. Of course they shouldn't just be possible transliterations or guesses, but I don't think many people interpret them as such. (If you've seen that happen, then maybe I am wrong.) However, if you think it's necessary, feel free to reword them all to make that clear. There are quite a few of them to be found in the Category:Script talk header templates (many not made by me, but continuing the idea). Rigadoun (talk) 05:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Samuel, I so far I came up with these sources: for Albanian:

http://www.seeu.edu.mk/en/information/news-a-events/377-inauguration-of-new-rector-profdr-zamir-dika
for Slavic:
So far I only found this one http://crosbi.znanstvenici.hr/datoteka/233303.stubbs.pdf and it's not a personal name but the name of an organisation. Although I know a person (a Southslav by ethnicity) with this name, my impression is that Zamir is much more prevalent among Albanians than among South slavs. In any case, do you think we could at least put on the page that conincidentally "Za mir" literally means "For Peace" in southslavonic language(s)? If so, would it than be sufficient to provide a dictionary as a source?
If you think these sources are not really sufficient, no probs, I'll carry on loking for some better ones, for both Albanina and Southslavonic Zamir, but at least they show that Zamir does exist as a name among Albanians and that it (conincidentally) has Albanian language etymology.

Mispelling or misuse of a man's name is not a trivial matter. Yes, so I will return "von" to the lower case whenever it appears in mixed caps and lowercase fonts (with one exception; see 3rd bullet below). All that I can do is observe the usage in the published literature:

Why did you delete my notification?

List of valkyrie names in Norse mythology
In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose which warriors will win or die in battle. The valkyries bring their chosen who have died bravely in battle to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin, where the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans.

First off, move discussions are just that, discussions. They are not votes. Actions are based on the strength of the arguments. Your opposition was based on the fact that there are more then one person with the name Nhu. There was nothing provided in your position that indicated that Madame Nhu was ambiguous. The statement 'When our title is stiff, formal and fuddy-duddy compared to Britannica`s, that's just not right' carried no weight as an argument for moving. However the argument that 'Ngo Dinh Nhu' was not her name, and was not refuted, did carry a lot more weight. The other two articles did not mention that either of the was known as Madame Nhu, and you provided no evidence to say that Madame Nhu was also used by the other two people. So the bottom line is that this appears to be the common name for the person and it is not ambiguous. That means it gets moved. If there is a case that Madame Nhu is ambiguous, or that someone else for whom we have an article is also well know by that name, by all means open a new move request. But based on the arguments, it is probably not going to be returned to the previous name since that may not be accurate. Vegaswikian ( talk) 17:13, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Thought I'd better let you know. Incidentally I think you could have just got away with tagging it with a citation needed rather than remove the content. A quick google for "samuel watson" + clock, brings up over a hundred articles with him mentioned - only about 20 distinct things I've found in the first 100 or so but he apparently invented the stopwatch, the 5 minute repeater, made a clock for the king, was a contact of isaac newton, I don't really know much about him but he seems pretty notable in his field.

I explained my removal on the talk page, which you ignored or didn't see. You replaced this material accusing me of trying to suppress something or other. I've expanded my comments on the talk page. If you can find any reliable source that says that stones decorated with etched depictions of advanced technology and medical procedures, depictions of other planets and unknown continents, as well as numerous depictions of humans and dinosaurs co-existing" were found in the 16th century, then let's see it. Skepdic doesn't actually say that, and the article shouldn't suggest a link. The original source seems to be a fringe writer who claimed a 'Father Simon' found engraved stones, but I can find no evidence for this. I've removed it again. Surely you can see that we must reliably source any claim for a relationship between some claim about 16th century stones and the Ica Stones? Dougweller ( talk) 14:53, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

As a courtesy, could you offer a heads-up when you make essentially the same revision to numerous articles -- or in this case, redirects? I have explained, at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2012_April_14, why I think being appointed as one of the delegates who wrote Afghanistan's new consistution is of comparable notability to being elected to its national legislature, thus qualifying them for consideration under WP:POLITICIAN. Perhaps you would consider offering an explanation as to why you excised these individuals from the disambiguation pages as "unknown". A significant fraction of the delegates will turn out to already have articles -- under alternate transliterations, as Pir Sayd Ahmad Gelani already had an article under Ahmed Gailani -- Pir and Sayd being merely honorifics, like Reverend.
Update
When I drafted the above I wasn't aware of how much effort you put into reverting my efforts: [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50]
I wasn't aware of your comments at User talk:Boleyn#redlinks in dab pages
In this comment you wrote: "an editor has been systematically putting redlinked members of the Constitutional Loya Jirga into name or dab pages, and I've been removing them again."
In this comment you wrote: "My main concern was the redlink, not so much for its own sake but because if is representative of so many, as you can see by looking at the reversions and deletions in my contribs of today (14 April), the great majority of which are similar redlink removals. I'm absolutely sure that most of these fall under the MOS:DABRL ruling ‘Do not create red links to articles that are unlikely ever to be written, or are likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics.’" This seems to establish that you knew you were reverting a single contributor.
Really, shouldn't you have initiated this discussion with me -- not with User:Boleyn? And really, shoulnd't you have voiced your concern with me prior to systematically reverting several days worth of work?
With regard to MOS:DABRL, please remember that this is an international project. Drafting a constitution is a very important task. You may think that articles on these individuals "...are unlikely ever to be written". But these individuals weren't nobodyies, weren't, to use your term "unknowns". They were all chosen because Karzai's team regarded them as notable citizens of Afghanistan.
Some of these individuals went on, stood for office, and were elected to the first session of the national assembly they created. Others went on to notable posts, or had held notable posts in the past, including former Presidents or cabinet members. Some of these individuals already have articles, under different transliterations.
Figuring out when we have multiple articles about a single individual, whose name is written in a language than can ambiguously transliterated a wide variety of ways is extremely challenging. Sometimes it has taken years for it to become clear. We need all the tools available, to help detect when multiple articles are describing a single individual -- including, I suggest disambiguation pages. This is an additional reason why I think your reversions of my efforts was a mistake.
I am going to ask you to consider reverting your reversions. Geo Swan ( talk) 21:37, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

The article Nasir Uddin has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello Samuel,
André Lawalrée was not really an explorer : he did numerous fields trips namely in Belgium, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, France and Switzerland, but he went only once to Belgian Congo ! He published numerous contributions on the Central African flora which are all based on herbarum specimens collected by other botanists. A. Lawalrée was also a specialist of Pierre-Joseph Redouté and he wrote several biographical notices on various botanists. I added two biobliographical references to the page, but I cannot write in English without mistakes, so I give you the information, you can rectify and complete yourself.

Hay, I just reverted your addition and I wanted to give you a quick explanation. Right now that page is under intense scrutiny by a few editors, and every claim is being heavily verified. Unfortunately I don't think that your addition would stand up to scepticism for three reasons. 1. anything that is critical of Emerson has been removed from the lede at one time or another in the last 48 hours. It was only a few hours ago that we got a somewhat stable entry for the criticism section in the lede. 2. The statement itself doesn't reference anything within the body of the article, and is therefore not consistant with wikipedia's WP:LEDE policy. 3. the source of your quote was a video, and it has been my experience that video's tend to get removed as WP:RS especially in BLP. I'm sorry, you kinda jumped into a hornets nest, and I'm trying to be the friendliest hornet. If you decide that you wish to peruse that edit, I would recommend finding multiple sources which identify that statement as significant, followup which makes it significant, and attaching it to the body of the article. Just my suggestion. cheers! Coffeepusher ( talk) 22:00, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

On Ten Commandments you have been making edits to the effect that Sinai and Horeb are different mountains. This is in complete contrast with generally accepted interpretations, according to which these are two names for the same mountain. I think it would be better if you'd discuss this on Talk:Ten Commandments first. There may be a problem with emphasis that we need to address. For one thing: which sources can you provide that Horeb and Sinai are different mountains? JFW | T@lk 22:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Please note I did not revert your links, in the first place, but you ask which policy controls links? It took me a long time to find this out when I needed to know.
To lift from "Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)"
"Do not make too many links. An article may be overlinked if any of the following is true:"
"A link for any single term is excessively repeated in the same article... ... Remember, the purpose of links is to direct the reader to a new spot at the point(s) where the reader is most likely to take a temporary detour due to needing more information;
"However, duplicating an important link distant from a previous occurrence in an article may well be appropriate ... ... Good places for link duplication are often the first time the term occurs in each article subsection."
The link is, and should be, in the introductory para, and when the main text gets round to it in line 65 - the others are optional. I note you have reinstated 3 links, all at least 10 lines apart, whereas you originally added 6 - IMHO the balance is now about right

Thanks for the explanation. I'm sorry I was tired and distracted by non-Wikipedia things so I got confused about the edit history. I still don't understand why maize has been unilaterally declared to be the primary meaning of corn. It depends entirely on who you are, where you are and what you are hearing or reading. As someone pointed out, a lot of people in this world read the bible, for example, and none of the many occurrences of the word corn in the bible refer to maize. Anyway, I give up.

Hi SamuelTheGhost. I'm glad to see you contributing regularly at Bates method.

At this point I don't really think this is worth taking up further but at least the reader will be cautioned. PSWG1920 ( talk) 04:32, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi SamuelTheGhost. I have copied most of Margaret Darst Corbett, the current version of which you created entirely, into the "After Bates" section of Bates method. You could be a big help with that section as you seem to have Pollack's book. I am hoping that more of its text will turn up online somewhere. PSWG1920 ( talk) 19:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
The referencing for the Corbett section still seems a bit unclear. For example, is Pollack the source for the entire discussion of the legal case? And what is the source for Corbett consulting Bates about her husband's eyesight? I'm thinking about nominating Bates method for a Good article in the near future, but the "After Bates" section still needs some work. PSWG1920 ( talk) 05:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Since you said that you are intrigued by my username, I'll explain it. My selection of a username which refers to Bates' book was partly tongue-in-cheek, since I have seen "Bates cultists" derided by skeptics, mainly on sci.med.vision. But around the time I signed up here, I had also been influenced by some individuals in online communities who could perhaps aptly be termed "Bates cultists", though I'm not convinced that they're wrong. These people believe that Bates' unaltered writings remain the best source of information about vision improvement, and that he did not exaggerate his success in the clinic, but that subsequent Bates teachers failed to get his caliber of results because they diluted the method. Someone characterized the 1943 revision of the book as being "corrupted". I'm now somewhat less inclined toward this viewpoint than I was when I started editing the article, and really I have become more doubtful about the Bates method in general. I've experienced mild temporary improvements which could be explained as ciliary spasm, and more dramatic temporary improvements which may result from a natural contact lens caused by moisture. Which is why I created the "Claimed success" section. PSWG1920 ( talk) 05:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Samuel, I enjoyed reading your comment on my talk page. I haven't responded because I believe it's DGG's turn. :) I think the issue of elitism, and the related questions and issues of how sources and articles should be evaluated is at the heart of many of the disputes here. There is a divide, as you've recognized, between the academic, scientific, "fringe", and mass audiences. I think it's interesting to see how it plays out on Wikipedia, and the discussion was my effort to dialog with someone who seems to use an ends justify the means approach to advance the scientific academic sphere without recognizing the contributions and value of other spheres of knowledge. Take care and Happy Thanksgiving, even if you're not one of us American turkeys.

Since you presented a strong case for making corn into an article and separating out corn (disambiguation), could you perhaps weigh in on the talk page.

Hi SamuelTheGhost. Thank you very much for posting the information about the Woods report in Behavioral optometry and on the Bates method talk page. I am increasingly thinking that the "Ophthalmological Research" section as it is should be deleted from the Bates method article, for reasons which you have raised before. I've thought for a while that the section was misleading and a distraction, but only recently have I sorted out exactly what the problem is. There's no indication from the AAO report (which the section is mainly a summary of) that any of the reviewed studies tested any method which has actually been claimed to improve eyesight. Now if we could find records of a formal controlled study in which a Bates teacher participated, working with subjects while a third-party measured results, that would merit a lot of space in the article. But I'm not sure that has ever happened. PSWG1920 ( talk) 03:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Of course, a problem with figuring out what NPOV means in application to any one article is that parts of the policy, especially UNDUE which gets brought up a lot here, could be more clear regarding different situations. The reason it is not, I have realized, is that clear policies are difficult to gain anything close to community consensus for. Nonetheless, I was thinking it might be a good idea to start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Neutral point of view (and maybe then an RfC) asking whether in the case of an article about a theory which is generally considered pseudoscience, does WP:Undue weight mean that the majority of the article should be specifically about criticisms, as Ronz has stated.

Hi, SamuelTheGhost. Our policy is that biographical article titles reflect the best known name of the subject. Thus, we have an article on Edward Elgar, but not one on Edward William Elgar (except as a redirect page), because nobody except government record-keepers referred to him that way. And it's George W. Bush, not George Walker Bush. Conversely, we have an article on John Charles Thomas because he was known professionally and generally by all three names, not just as "John Thomas". Clutsam is known as "George Clutsam", never as "George Howard Clutsam". There's no issue of disambiguation with George Clutsam, but if there were, the better approach would be to have "George Clutsam (composer)" and "George Clutsam (astrologer/taxidermist/whatever)", because using the middle names would assume people knew that the one with the middle name Howard was a composer and the one with Murgatroyd was a taxidermist, which would not, I suggest, be a useful assumption to make.

Hi SamuelTheGhost
I am the person who created the page for Eleazar (painter) - I believe you are the administrator who deleted the page, aren’t you? If so, can we please review this deletion? First of all, it’s necessary to say that I only understand a little English. Apart from that, I want you to know that Eleazar is a notable painter because he is known in Spain, specially Barcelona, and in other European countries like Switzerland (specially the canton of the Jura). I enclosure a selection of his Curriculum Vitae with his lasts exhibition. In addition, you have to know that Eleazar has been selected by the FIFA in representation of Spain for the exhibition that will take place on the occacion of the South Africa 2010 World Cup; a exhibition that will cross 32 countries around the world.

This edit was inappropriate, for multiple reasons. First off, the page is undeniably listed at a project page for discussion about whether it should be deleted or not, so it needs a tag indicating that. Removing the tag doesn't stop the listing. Second, you labeled the edit "rvv", which, in case you don't know, means a revert due to vandalism. The edit was not in any, way, shape or form vandalism. See the vandalism policy , and specifically what isn't considered vandalism if you are unclear on our rules. Labeling edits you do not like as vandalism is extremely uncivil.
I don't know how long you've been around Wikipedia, but just from the sheer number of posts on your talk page you obviously aren't a complete newbie.

Thank you very much for the Antonia Orfield link.

I recently learned that anything published in the U.S. between 1923 and 1963 had its copyright expire after 28 years if it wasn't renewed. [9] This likely explains why Quackwatch can reproduce an entire chapter of Philip Pollack's 1956 book. [10] Now, if we had the entire book online, such as at a place like Scribd.com, its accessibility would no longer be a problem, and at least some of the Gardner references could be replaced.

I agree that "X-language surnames" is not commonly found in any literature about the subject of surnames. Why, then, did our encyclopedia move to this system?

I think you understand now that, contrary to your wish, "those who created this situation" are not ever inclined to be the ones to "put things right"; they simply insist on damaging a system, then leave others to clean up--even after being asked 20, 50, or 100 times to assist in the reconstruction of a categorization system they insisted on breaking. They simply move on to other things. If you are able to convince that editor to use his bot powers to repopulate those categories I will be very pleasantly surprised.

I actually have no knowledge of this material at all, and don't really care about the category structure. I just happened to have noticed that among Harrison, Hanks, and a number of other books cited, only the 1969 version was locally available to me. In my mind, where the name was originally found and is still in use and what language it originally came are two different facets of a name (like, for example, Category:Films by topic and Category:Films by type) and should be covered separately, but I honestly don't care if we don't have categories. But, being where we are, if I'm reading your concern correctly
What language would the name come from otherwise? A google search isn't indicative to me; there is a source calling it Hebrew in origin and I suspect there will other examples as well. The fact that Harrison's definition of the United Kingdom is too expansive for our current usage means that whatever he calls an "United Kingdom" surname is inappropriate, but that doesn't seem to have an impact on his theories as to the names in the book. Yes, there are some Irish names in there that we today wouldn't include, but I'm not using it for "is this name a UK name or not"; I'm using this for "is this name from Hebrew, Celtic, Gaelic, whatever." As to not using a single source, I'll agree to that, but right now, 99% of the articles have ZERO sources, so I'll take have a 1912 source over nothing (again, unless you want to go to the "Aaron is possibly Egyptian" argument for some reason). I'm just concerned about wanting to move the articles from Category:Surnames down somewhere. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 06:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
In your edit in Chemical Revolution you deleted a source due to a dead link - but you could have easily found the new link by just searching for "Chemical Revolution" on the university page. When you encounter a dead link, please try to fix it, or, failing that, tag it with "{{dead link}}". Maybe you can't connect to a site due to some error with your own connection, or the site is temporarily down. When another user encounters that tag, and the link is still dead, he'll know it wasn't a fluke.

Hey there,
I saw your note on Van Hoonacker, and well: the right way to write that last name is with a capital V (names like that in Flemish with a small v indicate that the family's nobility, which Van Hoonacker's family is not, I know some of the descendants and am - among others - working with Van Hoonacker's personal archives). So, if this answers your question: the capital V is the right way to go, I may have forgotten to change some of them, feel free to do so!

You are recieving this notice as you have participated in the Admin Recall discussion pages.
A poll was held on fourteen proposals, and closed on 16th November 2009. Only one proposal gained majority support - community de-adminship - and this proposal is now being finessed into a draft RFC Wikipedia talk:Community de-adminship/Draft RfC, which, if adopted, will create a new process.
After tolling up the votes within the revision proposals for CDA, it emerged that proposal 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.
A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;
This is from a while ago, but your response took my quote way out of context. You said the statement "Personally I don't like SPAs" is a gross violation of good faith, when clearly if you read the response fully, the statement refers to disliking SPA tags, not disliking SPAs. I certainly mispoke myself and edited my comment to reflect this. Thank you for correcting me. MATThematical ( talk) 22:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 18:36, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

I've modified the categories to make clear that it's a name page. It also serves a disambiguation purpose, as many name pages do. The name can perfectly well be its own primary topic; that helps to prevent the arbitrary grabbing of common Arabic names as primary topic names for articles about fairly obscure people, as has often happened. SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 21:43, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
I agree that there is a serious issue here. Let's discuss it in the context of Abdur Rahim. There you created the page Abdur Rahim (disambiguation), which lists just five dab entries, selected apparently on the basis of the way the name appears in the wikipedia article. As you know nobody is really called just Abdur Rahim without further names, and there are about 50 articles on the subject of people one of whose names is Abdur Rahim, with transliterations often widely varying for the same person. Someone looking for someone of that name who found their way to that dab page, and not finding the man or woman they were looking for there, would probably conclude that the article they wanted didn't exist. This is not user-friendly, and destroys the whole point of having a dab page.
In deciding how to structure these things, we need to be guided by the following:
If you want to experiment I suggest you use Abdur Rahim, since you've already started. SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 15:11, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Samuel, after moving a page you may replace the remaining redirect with an article or disambig page. This would prevent fixing redirects to the new target. If you would keep that redirect without fixing its redirects just write _STATICREDIRECT_ to its content. I've changed the behavior of redirect bots especially for this request to keep redirects pointing to a static redirect unchanged. This gives you enough time to check every link. If you are ready you should remove this magic word. I guess this is in your sense and the best solution for your work. Regards Xqt ( talk) 20:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
"This template is only used for kings, etc." Is that so? then why is it, at the same time, used for letters of the Alphabet, Periodic elements, Books of the Bible, legendary High Priests, and other such unrelated topics?
In 1 Kings 19:16, God commands Elijah to anoint Elisha as "Prophet in your place" (literally, "in your office"). One could easily estimate other prophets who might have assumed this office as well, but that would be OR so I limited the template, until other users could expand it, to Elijah and Elisha. -- Nate5713 ( talk) 22:14, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm coming across as un-helpful. I don't understand what your issue is completely and have been trying to tell you what current practice is, not necessarily to tell you what precisely you should do. I am against a hybrid page as one of the goals of WP:MOSDAB is to have a consistent "look" to the page for fast navigation. If we have a hybrid, people will be a little confused and slow down.
Its sounds like you want to create a name page for the Arabic names. You don't NEED to create a dab page. If it becomes apparent one is necessary, it can be created. But if you are going to start with all the articles about people that contain the name - and include a paragraph about the name - it sounds like you are completely within the "name article" space. Why worry about a dab page? Why not just do name pages? --John ( User:Jwy/ talk) 22:32, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. I absolutely think the templates are useful; even if there aren't articles in those categories now, there have been and surely will be again. Of course they shouldn't just be possible transliterations or guesses, but I don't think many people interpret them as such. (If you've seen that happen, then maybe I am wrong.) However, if you think it's necessary, feel free to reword them all to make that clear. There are quite a few of them to be found in the Category:Script talk header templates (many not made by me, but continuing the idea). Rigadoun (talk) 05:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Samuel, I so far I came up with these sources: for Albanian:

http://www.seeu.edu.mk/en/information/news-a-events/377-inauguration-of-new-rector-profdr-zamir-dika
for Slavic:
So far I only found this one http://crosbi.znanstvenici.hr/datoteka/233303.stubbs.pdf and it's not a personal name but the name of an organisation. Although I know a person (a Southslav by ethnicity) with this name, my impression is that Zamir is much more prevalent among Albanians than among South slavs. In any case, do you think we could at least put on the page that conincidentally "Za mir" literally means "For Peace" in southslavonic language(s)? If so, would it than be sufficient to provide a dictionary as a source?
If you think these sources are not really sufficient, no probs, I'll carry on loking for some better ones, for both Albanina and Southslavonic Zamir, but at least they show that Zamir does exist as a name among Albanians and that it (conincidentally) has Albanian language etymology.

Mispelling or misuse of a man's name is not a trivial matter. Yes, so I will return "von" to the lower case whenever it appears in mixed caps and lowercase fonts (with one exception; see 3rd bullet below). All that I can do is observe the usage in the published literature:

List of valkyrie names in Norse mythology
In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose which warriors will win or die in battle. The valkyries bring their chosen who have died bravely in battle to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin, where the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans.

First off, move discussions are just that, discussions. They are not votes. Actions are based on the strength of the arguments. Your opposition was based on the fact that there are more then one person with the name Nhu. There was nothing provided in your position that indicated that Madame Nhu was ambiguous. The statement 'When our title is stiff, formal and fuddy-duddy compared to Britannica`s, that's just not right' carried no weight as an argument for moving. However the argument that 'Ngo Dinh Nhu' was not her name, and was not refuted, did carry a lot more weight. The other two articles did not mention that either of the was known as Madame Nhu, and you provided no evidence to say that Madame Nhu was also used by the other two people. So the bottom line is that this appears to be the common name for the person and it is not ambiguous. That means it gets moved. If there is a case that Madame Nhu is ambiguous, or that someone else for whom we have an article is also well know by that name, by all means open a new move request. But based on the arguments, it is probably not going to be returned to the previous name since that may not be accurate. Vegaswikian ( talk) 17:13, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Sorry I'm only just getting around to starting the Samuel Watson horologist stuff, I've got a bunch of links and was just setting up to create the page - so I'm undoing your revert. Thought I'd better let you know. Incidentally I think you could have just got away with tagging it with a citation needed rather than remove the content. A quick google for "samuel watson" + clock, brings up over a hundred articles with him mentioned - only about 20 distinct things I've found in the first 100 or so but he apparently invented the stopwatch, the 5 minute repeater, made a clock for the king, was a contact of isaac newton, I don't really know much about him but he seems pretty notable in his field.

New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello SamuelTheGhost! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

I explained my removal on the talk page, which you ignored or didn't see. You replaced this material accusing me of trying to suppress something or other. I've expanded my comments on the talk page. If you can find any reliable source that says that stones decorated with etched depictions of advanced technology and medical procedures, depictions of other planets and unknown continents, as well as numerous depictions of humans and dinosaurs co-existing" were found in the 16th century, then let's see it. Skepdic doesn't actually say that, and the article shouldn't suggest a link. The original source seems to be a fringe writer who claimed a 'Father Simon' found engraved stones, but I can find no evidence for this. I've removed it again. Surely you can see that we must reliably source any claim for a relationship between some claim about 16th century stones and the Ica Stones? Dougweller ( talk) 14:53, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Timeline of the history of Gibraltar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Qaid ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

As a courtesy, could you offer a heads-up when you make essentially the same revision to numerous articles -- or in this case, redirects? I have explained, at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2012_April_14, why I think being appointed as one of the delegates who wrote Afghanistan's new consistution is of comparable notability to being elected to its national legislature, thus qualifying them for consideration under WP:POLITICIAN. Perhaps you would consider offering an explanation as to why you excised these individuals from the disambiguation pages as "unknown". A significant fraction of the delegates will turn out to already have articles -- under alternate transliterations, as Pir Sayd Ahmad Gelani already had an article under Ahmed Gailani -- Pir and Sayd being merely honorifics, like Reverend.
Update
When I drafted the above I wasn't aware of how much effort you put into reverting my efforts: [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50]
I wasn't aware of your comments at User talk:Boleyn#redlinks in dab pages
In this comment you wrote: "an editor has been systematically putting redlinked members of the Constitutional Loya Jirga into name or dab pages, and I've been removing them again."
In this comment you wrote: "My main concern was the redlink, not so much for its own sake but because if is representative of so many, as you can see by looking at the reversions and deletions in my contribs of today (14 April), the great majority of which are similar redlink removals. I'm absolutely sure that most of these fall under the MOS:DABRL ruling ‘Do not create red links to articles that are unlikely ever to be written, or are likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics.’" This seems to establish that you knew you were reverting a single contributor.
Really, shouldn't you have initiated this discussion with me -- not with User:Boleyn? And really, shoulnd't you have voiced your concern with me prior to systematically reverting several days worth of work?
With regard to MOS:DABRL, please remember that this is an international project. Drafting a constitution is a very important task. You may think that articles on these individuals "...are unlikely ever to be written". But these individuals weren't nobodyies, weren't, to use your term "unknowns". They were all chosen because Karzai's team regarded them as notable citizens of Afghanistan.
Some of these individuals went on, stood for office, and were elected to the first session of the national assembly they created. Others went on to notable posts, or had held notable posts in the past, including former Presidents or cabinet members. Some of these individuals already have articles, under different transliterations.
Figuring out when we have multiple articles about a single individual, whose name is written in a language than can ambiguously transliterated a wide variety of ways is extremely challenging. Sometimes it has taken years for it to become clear. We need all the tools available, to help detect when multiple articles are describing a single individual -- including, I suggest disambiguation pages. This is an additional reason why I think your reversions of my efforts was a mistake.
I am going to ask you to consider reverting your reversions. Geo Swan ( talk) 21:37, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

The article Nasir Uddin has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello Samuel,
André Lawalrée was not really an explorer : he did numerous fields trips namely in Belgium, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, France and Switzerland, but he went only once to Belgian Congo ! He published numerous contributions on the Central African flora which are all based on herbarum specimens collected by other botanists. A. Lawalrée was also a specialist of Pierre-Joseph Redouté and he wrote several biographical notices on various botanists. I added two biobliographical references to the page, but I cannot write in English without mistakes, so I give you the information, you can rectify and complete yourself.

Hay, I just reverted your addition and I wanted to give you a quick explanation. Right now that page is under intense scrutiny by a few editors, and every claim is being heavily verified. Unfortunately I don't think that your addition would stand up to scepticism for three reasons. 1. anything that is critical of Emerson has been removed from the lede at one time or another in the last 48 hours. It was only a few hours ago that we got a somewhat stable entry for the criticism section in the lede. 2. The statement itself doesn't reference anything within the body of the article, and is therefore not consistant with wikipedia's WP:LEDE policy. 3. the source of your quote was a video, and it has been my experience that video's tend to get removed as WP:RS especially in BLP. I'm sorry, you kinda jumped into a hornets nest, and I'm trying to be the friendliest hornet. If you decide that you wish to peruse that edit, I would recommend finding multiple sources which identify that statement as significant, followup which makes it significant, and attaching it to the body of the article. Just my suggestion. cheers! Coffeepusher ( talk) 22:00, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
