Pea bean ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Some time ago Pea bean was deleted. I assume I was on a Wikibreak otherwise I would have intervened. Most unusually there is not even a re-direct left behind. I could easily re-create a redirect to Vicia faba but if I did I would loose all the previous history and access to the historical content. Provided that the original deletion followed proper AfD process, I would be grateful if an admin could restore the original Pea bean article and, if required , make it into a re-direct to Vicia faba . That would give me an opportunity to develop a well sourced article building on the original text. If due process was not followed, a simple restore of the article would be appreciated. Many thanks Velella Velella Talk 22:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

My concerns with the above article is with neutrality. The group in the article is described as anti-muslim and far-right. The sources that support these claims simply repeat the same assertion, without actually saying why they are far-right or anti-muslim. I have previously changed far-right to "single-issue movement" and removed anti-muslim, but it got reverted. I have also added a talk page article about both issues.
I need an editors help to clarify if we determine a groups goals as majority opinion of that group, or by some other means, such as the official stated goals of that group. Because this article seems to be using the former method, unfairly.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.171.168.146 ( talk • contribs)

“ | Obviously a lot of thought and energy went into this. I think it would be more useful to restart discussion and try to come to consensus on what this proposed guideline should say, rather than just slap it with a failed proposal tag. The most obvious way to move forward is to simply delete everything that was broadly contentious, and start with only the points that virtually everyone agrees on. If that makes this 1/10 its current size, that's okay. It'll still be something to build on.

Chisinau ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Dear Sirs, I am about the capital city of Republic of Moldova -Chisinau article Chisinau is the capital of Republic of Moldova and its largest city. It has a total population of 794,800 inhabitants not as You wrote as 667,000 or 723,000 in the article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi%C5%9Fin%C4%83u). See: http://www.statistica.md/newsview.php?l=ro&idc=168&id=3719. PLEASE NOTE: accordingly to National legislation in statistics and census, the concept of so called " City proper population" is absent! The Chisinau always is seen as municipality (city + metro), due to its special status, You can not differ the city proper and metro here, it's not correct to Chisinau. Also, it would be good to change its list position according to population, to 97th place, not 116 as it is now in the list (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_capitals_by_population). I have repeatedly tried to make changes in the article information ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi%C5%9Fin%C4%83u)and ( http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B8%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%91%D0%B2#.D0.9D.D0.B0.D1.81.D0.B5.D0.BB.D0.B5.D0.BD.D0.B8.D0.B5) regarding population, but someone of You makes my changes in vain.

The article Khurshid Ahmad (Professor of Computer Science) had been tagged for Notability concerns for a while. the Notability tag was removed and replaced with a Primary sources tag with the comment no action on notability in more than six months; replaced it with template better indicating the problem In dealing with some BLP issues, I noticed that the Notability tag had been removed, but didnt see the specific diff, and having same concerns about notability, I readded the N tag, which was again removed with the edit summary AfD it if you like; there is no need for a permanent template if you are not going to do anything about it) . I still think there are Notability issues along with the primary source issues.
Is it standard practice to remove a Notability tag after a time if no one has bothered to either go through an AfD/provide documentation to show that the Notability criteria have been met? (note that there are at least 2 "Khurshid Ahmad" who have each been published a number of times making it difficult to quickly/easily determine whether the hits are valid for the actual subject of this article) -- The Red Pen of Doom 23:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I posted some questions on the talk page for this article, mainly about how I can fix the tags? I am new and have made lots of mistakes, but I really want to learn how to do things right! The article is about a festival in Mendocino, and I don't know what kind of references to add or how to deal with the tags. The only people who know about the festival are people who are volunteers, or the two paid staff we have, so I am not sure how to deal with the conflict of interest tag or the tag about needing more references. You already deleted all the stuff I had put in there that was not factual, so that is fixed, but I want to deal with the tags somehow if I can. Thank you very very much for any help you can give me!

Dear Sirs, I am a bona fide editor and contributor and among the articles that Im regularly working on, is the above mentioned one. Sometime ago, an IP Address User:76.17.7.56 began to disrupt and vandalise this article, and its my fault and that of other less reg editors that we didnt previously report all incidents. However, over the last 10-12 days we have been doing so. It seems that some relative/s of this subject seem to be riled up because of our inclusion of some names of some grandsons/great-grandsons of (which were only included, mostly by me, on grounds of notability, along with others) and theer seems to be some sort of 'online family feud' going on the talk page now. But today, in their comments, this IP address user, giving a long list of names, has started to abuse and issue threats to the editors. Under the circumstances, its very stressful to edit this article/page and though I have responded on the articles and user's talk page, and warned again, Im afraid this 'vicious cycle' will now go on. Im just reporting this matter, and would be grateful if some of you could pl help/guide me. Thanks Khani100 ( talk) 17:06, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Khani100
I have recently began a discussion about the article welfare. I am not American and to me the word welfare means WELL-BEING. The article has been written as though WELFARE means the same as WELFARE SYSTEM or WELFARE PAYMENTS (government organized assistance to the poor to ensure their well-being). I am aware of course that this is normal usage in the United States of America. The word WELFARE in most of the world has positive associations because it means "doing fine" or "not being in a state of poverty" whereas in the United States the meaning is now almost the very reverse of this and has become a derogatory term because of its association with dependency. here is an external source dictionary that shows clearly the main meaning and the secondary usage as being chiefly American.
Consider these terms that are well known
(a) child welfare (b) animal welfare (c) welfare state (d) welfare payment (e) welfare fraud
To be, as a non-American, in (a), (b), (c) and (d) usages, the word "welfare" means "well being" though I am fairly confident that most Americans on the other hand see the meaning of "well-being" in (a) and (b) but only see the meaning "government aid" in (c) (d). (e) is slightly different because it means defrauding the welfare state so (e) is a usage in which "welfare" could be read as "government aid", though in reality the root meaning here of welfare is still from "welfare system" and thus ultimately "well-being". In the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa the word WELFARE on its own never means "government assistance" as it does in the United States. Never, never, never. Americans talk about "living on welfare", and though I understand what they mean, this is not normative language outside the U.S. (because it would mean living on "well-being" which is nonsensical). Outside the U.S. people would use term "benefits" or "welfare benefits" or "social security" or "assistance" but never "welfare" as Americans do.
Because of the above I thought it wrong for an article entitled welfare to be about a meaning it has in just one country. In my opinion the article ought to explain the main meaning of the word and how it is used. After this, the article should explain the secondary meaning it has in the United States and should offer links to more normatively named articles such as Welfare state, Welfare system, and Social security.
I recently discussed this issue on the Discussion Page and obtained consensus for a change to strip the article of a large tract of information about social welfare and implement this simpler explanation that the main meaning of welfare is well-being but that it in the United States it mostly means a "government program of assistance to reduce poverty". The article was changed and I moved much of the American specific content to Social programs in the United States. However, despite getting consensus another editor picked up the changes I made and though I have explained the reasoning and pointed him to the discussion, he has simply reverted the article back to its original state. I do not want to get into an edit war and would like some external assistance on what to do.
How can this dispute now be resolved?-- 84.250.230.158 ( talk) 22:34, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi there,
We are a group of occupational therapists working with clients with all abilities. Technology has a larger presence in our regular day to day life for everyone.. including our clients with a chronic condition.. be it clients living with a brain injury, spinal cord injury, arthritis etc. As a therapist, we are beginning to realize the potential of use of smartphones to help folks remember to take meds.. caregivers to locate their loved one who may not remember and problem solve through how to get around.. manage their meds etc.
We wanted a place on the www to share what we find helpful and for other therapists to share with us what they find helpful. Specific info about the different features on a smart phone.. apps folks find helpful working with specific population etc.
I am not very savviest with technology and was wondering Wiki is a place for this kind of information sharing? If not, wonder if you have any suggestion of a free (we are in healthcare) blog site that you recommend?

I need help.
I have been attempting for over a year to provide content which will address the issues of the inadequacy of previously posted text for over a year now.
Each time that I have posted text to "American Catholic Church in the United States", within a week (usually within hours) of my posting new text, a single user removes the content as though the information I posted was never there.
If you will take a look at the latest log update for all users to this article, you will see a number of content updates I made last night. One editor was very kind and removed only section on the "Talk" page I added because it is considered "harassment". That editor was StAnselm. I thanked StAnselm for his assistance.
However there is another user which deleted not only all the content, cites, and 3rd party references I added last night in order to comply with the concerns on the "TALK" page, the editor event deleted any notes I left (appropriately noting that each issue was properly addresed with new text) was ALSO DELETED.
I am at my wits end. Never in my life have I had such difficulty adding information before. If the user has issues or concerns I can understand, but to DELETE IT ALL within 24 hours, there has to be something else going on of which I am not aware.
Can you PLEASE look at the contribution log for the article "American Catholic Church in the United States" and in particular compare what StAnselm deleted (only in appropriate information on the TALK page) vs the user right after StAnselm who deleted ALL MY CONTENT on both the Article and TALK page.
How am I have to have an appropriate dialogue on the TALK page about content I add, when it looks as though NOTHING was added to the article at all?
Please help me.

Someone keeps erasing all content which has been referenced, and adding a much bigger page of content that has no sources to verify the content. I suspect it's the person who the page is about, but that person is vandalizing the entries of other people by removing them. Also, can a person be trusted to write his own wiki biography without bias? That's why it's important to keep the old content that has been has verifiable references.

Yogi Bhajan ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) I am new to Wikipedia. I don't want to get in trouble, so I am posting here. A few days ago at the Wikipedia YOGI BHAJAN user page. I posted a lengthy complaint citing each of the multiple Wikipedia policy violations cited in the Wikipedia flag at the page top. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE. My main concern is I feel the editor, Guru Fatha Singh Khalsa, a Yogi Bhajan follower and 3HO member, is treating the page as his personal website, cost free at Wikipedia expense. He is the major, if not, the sole contributor to the page,and he undos any post not to his liking, fudging Wikipedia policies. If you read the court affidavit I submitted on the user page of an expert witness, the testimony states the 3HO organization is a CULT. IT SEEMS AS IF THIS 3HO CULT CANCER IS INFESTING WIKIPEDIA WITH MULTIPLE PAGES. Please look at the Wikipedia page concerning Miri Piri Academy, a 3HO organization, written as an advertisement, against Wikipedia policy. ' Without getting into trouble, can I undo all the text on the Yogi Bhajan page with "sources affiliated with the subject", i.e. citations from 3HO organizations or 3HO members?' Seems Guru Fatha Singh Khalsa is also very active on the Wikipedia 3HO page also. And there is also the Akal Security, and Yogi Tea pages, more 3HO organizations. Just found the Wikipedia pages for the following 3HO members and Yogi Bhajan followers: Gurumukh, Dharma Singh Khalsa, Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa, Singh Kaur, and Satkirm Kaur Kaur Khalsa, Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa, Snatam Kaur, etc..

I am not the person to do it. I am a very old man. But the entry on David Ricardo is very inadequate.
Ricardo is surely one of the half dozen most important economists who ever lived. He was the primary founder of the English Classical School of Economics, and through that of the entire orthodox, Anglo- American economic tradition of the last two centuries, from Ricardo to John Stuart Mill, to Alfred Marshall, to the 20th Century explosion of professional economics, with addition of macroeconomics in what Paul Samuelson, the greatest economist since Keynes, called "the neo-classical synthesis."
Find someone to do a good job on Ricardo. Suggestion: Go to the University of Chicago graduate school.

The second is an indexing or navigational list, i.e., a list of Wikipedia article topics or subtopics; it is not about any real world list of fictional mustelids but is instead merely uses a list format. The list's entries are themselves limited to notable subjects, whether the characters themselves merit standalone articles or at least the works of fiction that depict them.

I am looking for an advice, for a problem what I personally think is inappropriate. I will try to explain it as short and clear as possible. I know this isn`t discussed on the talk page but since there isn`t an initiative (yet) by the changing party I am really asking for advice on this matter and what Wiki policies states in this case.
I don`t think that adding wikiProject country Y is appropriate to add to already existing wikiProject country X. I have 2 examples for this,
It is recently added to an already existing WikiProject (Romania,Slovakia) WikiProject Hungary what I believe to be inappropriate because if we start to do so adding this tags everywhere is losing it`s purpose. If we add other wiki projects, as that we can add almost to every article other wikiProjects(country X). Ex: We could add to almost whole Eastern Europe WP:TR(Ottoman Empire) on the same basis but there isn`t such attempts.
Also I noticed that is against general practice on Wikipedia, where one article contains WikiProject only of that country, unless it is a special case ( autonomous province, cultural center for that minority, or similar).
Diff of the problem I am talking about: 1, 2 and 3.
I am asking for advice is it appropriate to add other WikiProjects country X to places in other countries where there is no special case ( autonomous province, cultural center for that minority, or similar) present. Thanks in advance. Adrian ( talk) 20:37, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

When asked for clarification by other editors, he then deletes the comments, and uses edit summaries to carry on debates and express opinions, which also seem completely unrelated. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, but I'm at a loss as to what can be said, so that this user can actively participate in the discussion, instead of just thoroughly confusing everybody.

I'm wondering if there is a standard regarding youtube video's/celebs. Specifically, it was brought to my attention the recent deletion of the yogscast article by NawlinWiki. I can't speak for the article itself, as I cannot view the last deleted version, however, this user has a history of contentious deletions, to the point where their talk page has had to be protected, and a personal policy of deleting youtube based content, which I personally think is EXTREMELY out of place in the current internet culture, where many youtube producers are FAR larger stars than TV producers.
Yogscast has a regular following of nearly 2 million users, and nearly ten million hours of content having been viewed. There is no way that this is not a notable reference on the standard of popular human culture. The numbers yogscast puts up would put to shame most popular television series to date. They are by a wide margin the most accessed internet content in the UK.
I'm just wondering how, by anyone's standards, deletion can be the better option for their article as opposed to requests for more information or improved references?
Apologies if this is not the right place, I'm not familiar with the labyrinth of Wikipedia communities. Please feel free to direct this complaint to the correct location rather than being a jerk.

There is a wikipedia article called "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain" that is a link from the other wikipedia article "Long March". It is listed as a link from the "Long March" page as the article (Long March article), states that the Long March featured the event in which people travelled through the Jade Dragon Snow Mountains, yet the information found on the "Long March" page does not exist in the "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain" page nor is there reference to this event on the related article. I do not have the recourses to complete the information on the "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain" page, though I am very certain information exists on this event in that particular place.

You have so much information, some correct and some not. The dracula legend really started from a husband loving his wife and carrying her around and kissing her neck because she loved it so much. It has nothing to do with biting animals and drinking anything like that. It was simply a wife lvoing her husband to carry her around and she liked to put her head back and he'd walk back and forth carrying her and giving her kisses on the neck. She loved that. She was spoilled with love, lots of love, and he'd walk her back and forth every night. He had a room where he would take her and kiss her neck. She loved that. The walkway of one of their houses was a long dark creeky walkway and her head would be dangling over with her arms hanging out all relaxed. She knew she was on her way to getting kises and loved the room where he took her. The curse of Baranbus Collins will be lifted when they give one of her houses back and her and Barnabus talk, and she feels like it.

Hello Wikipedia Editor,
I have drafted an edit in my sandbox page that, if I post it anywhere, would be the Henry Purcell page, in the "In popular culture" section, after the first paragraph, which makes reference to "The Cold Song", which, as Dryden wrote it and Purcell set it, starts "What power art thou, who from below hast made me rise, unwillingly and slow, from beds of everlasting snow".
It has some very sensitive content, that includes reference to trying to take one's own life, so while it is also very constructive and compassionate it may be unsuitable to post. Please would you have a look and let me know your views. I will separately be seeking advice from a mental psychological and psychological health professional about its suitability for inclusion in a publicly available place.

I just wanted to bring to someone's attention a material "typo" in the Wikipedia entry for the U.S. House of Representatives.
The "History" section includes the following paragraph. I have highlighted (bold) the questionable text, where I think the author means another date besides March 4, 2001.
Eventually, the Convention reached the Connecticut Compromise, or the Great Compromise, under which one house of Congress (the House of Representatives) would provide representation proportional to each state's population, whereas the other (the Senate) would provide equal representation amongst the states. The Constitution was ratified by the requisite number of states (nine out of the 13) in 1788, but its implementation was set for March 4, 2001. The House began work on April 1, 1789, when it achieved a quorum for the first time.

HI, I'm trying to edit an article in my user space because it's a somewhat major revision and I want to allow other editors to comment before making it live. Unfortunately, other editors keep deleting it or messing with it. THIS IS EXPREMELY FRUSTRATING. I consider it a serious violation of wiki ettiquitte to simply blow away several hours of my donated time without discussing it first. User Kudpung is the main problem, but also user Buggie11 has also interfered.

I understand that whatever revisions I make will be subject to review and editing by other editors. I have a very good working relationship with the active editors on the page in question, and I'm sure we will come to a good consensus on the talk page once the proposed revision is in place on my user page.

I think it would be more useful to restart discussion and try to come to consensus on what this proposed guideline should say, rather than just slap it with a failed proposal tag.

If that makes this 1/10 its current size, that's okay. It'll still be something to build on.

I have recently began a discussion about the article welfare. I am not American and to me the word welfare means WELL-BEING. The article has been written as though WELFARE means the same as WELFARE SYSTEM or WELFARE PAYMENTS (government organized assistance to the poor to ensure their well-being). I am aware of course that this is normal usage in the United States of America. The word WELFARE in most of the world has positive associations because it means "doing fine" or "not being in a state of poverty" whereas in the United States the meaning is now almost the very reverse of this and has become a derogatory term because of its association with dependency. here is an external source dictionary that shows clearly the main meaning and the secondary usage as being chiefly American.
Consider these terms that are well known
(a) child welfare (b) animal welfare (c) welfare state (d) welfare payment (e) welfare fraud
To be, as a non-American, in (a), (b), (c) and (d) usages, the word "welfare" means "well being" though I am fairly confident that most Americans on the other hand see the meaning of "well-being" in (a) and (b) but only see the meaning "government aid" in (c) (d). (e) is slightly different because it means defrauding the welfare state so (e) is a usage in which "welfare" could be read as "government aid", though in reality the root meaning here of welfare is still from "welfare system" and thus ultimately "well-being". In the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa the word WELFARE on its own never means "government assistance" as it does in the United States. Never, never, never. Americans talk about "living on welfare", and though I understand what they mean, this is not normative language outside the U.S. (because it would mean living on "well-being" which is nonsensical). Outside the U.S. people would use term "benefits" or "welfare benefits" or "social security" or "assistance" but never "welfare" as Americans do.
Because of the above I thought it wrong for an article entitled welfare to be about a meaning it has in just one country. In my opinion the article ought to explain the main meaning of the word and how it is used. After this, the article should explain the secondary meaning it has in the United States and should offer links to more normatively named articles such as Welfare state, Welfare system, and Social security.
I recently discussed this issue on the Discussion Page and obtained consensus for a change to strip the article of a large tract of information about social welfare and implement this simpler explanation that the main meaning of welfare is well-being but that it in the United States it mostly means a "government program of assistance to reduce poverty". The article was changed and I moved much of the American specific content to Social programs in the United States. However, despite getting consensus another editor picked up the changes I made and though I have explained the reasoning and pointed him to the discussion, he has simply reverted the article back to its original state. I do not want to get into an edit war and would like some external assistance on what to do.

Hi there,
We are a group of occupational therapists working with clients with all abilities. Technology has a larger presence in our regular day to day life for everyone.. including our clients with a chronic condition.. be it clients living with a brain injury, spinal cord injury, arthritis etc. As a therapist, we are beginning to realize the potential of use of smartphones to help folks remember to take meds.. caregivers to locate their loved one who may not remember and problem solve through how to get around.. manage their meds etc.
We wanted a place on the www to share what we find helpful and for other therapists to share with us what they find helpful. Specific info about the different features on a smart phone.. apps folks find helpful working with specific population etc.
I am not very savviest with technology and was wondering Wiki is a place for this kind of information sharing? If not, wonder if you have any suggestion of a free (we are in healthcare) blog site that you recommend?

Ditto for the first reference on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algal_bloom as well.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could either make these updates happen, or instruct me as to why I can't seem to.

Other Losses ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). I recently removed what I thought was a stale and resolved POV tag from the article after spending much time reading through the consenus discussions. Within minutes a massive edit to the article was performed that I promptly reverted. The massive edit was contrary to existing consensus. It is quite a long read of article and talk page. If any have time they may wish to start with my 'Lest We Forget..'entry at the bottom of the talk page, and then make suggestions from there.-- Canoe1967 ( talk) 21:01, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

I need help.
I have been attempting for over a year to provide content which will address the issues of the inadequacy of previously posted text for over a year now.
Each time that I have posted text to "American Catholic Church in the United States", within a week (usually within hours) of my posting new text, a single user removes the content as though the information I posted was never there.
If you will take a look at the latest log update for all users to this article, you will see a number of content updates I made last night. One editor was very kind and removed only section on the "Talk" page I added because it is considered "harassment". That editor was StAnselm. I thanked StAnselm for his assistance.
However there is another user which deleted not only all the content, cites, and 3rd party references I added last night in order to comply with the concerns on the "TALK" page, the editor event deleted any notes I left (appropriately noting that each issue was properly addresed with new text) was ALSO DELETED.
I am at my wits end. Never in my life have I had such difficulty adding information before. If the user has issues or concerns I can understand, but to DELETE IT ALL within 24 hours, there has to be something else going on of which I am not aware.
Can you PLEASE look at the contribution log for the article "American Catholic Church in the United States" and in particular compare what StAnselm deleted (only in appropriate information on the TALK page) vs the user right after StAnselm who deleted ALL MY CONTENT on both the Article and TALK page.
How am I have to have an appropriate dialogue on the TALK page about content I add, when it looks as though NOTHING was added to the article at all?
Please help me.

Someone keeps erasing all content which has been referenced, and adding a much bigger page of content that has no sources to verify the content. I suspect it's the person who the page is about, but that person is vandalizing the entries of other people by removing them. Also, can a person be trusted to write his own wiki biography without bias? That's why it's important to keep the old content that has been has verifiable references.

For any veteran editors who have been monitoring this page, many thanks for your kind consideration. As you may have read, my COI prohibits my contributing. However it has been suggested that I could help by posting relevant source material. I have taken the last few weeks to review and source references in an effort to assist those who may have an interest to improve this BLP. In line citations are needed as indicated in the banner and I have created a list with footnotes. It would improve the page to have separate sections for Publications and Bibliography. This too I have included for your perusal. Please forgive any errors in the presentation. It all looks great in a word document but not here. The markups are not done as I am unfamiliar with them having never attempted to write an article and have no plans to do so. I do hope my work meets with your approval and can be of use.

Yogi Bhajan ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) I am new to Wikipedia. I don't want to get in trouble, so I am posting here. A few days ago at the Wikipedia YOGI BHAJAN user page. I posted a lengthy complaint citing each of the multiple Wikipedia policy violations cited in the Wikipedia flag at the page top. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE. My main concern is I feel the editor, Guru Fatha Singh Khalsa, a Yogi Bhajan follower and 3HO member, is treating the page as his personal website, cost free at Wikipedia expense. He is the major, if not, the sole contributor to the page,and he undos any post not to his liking, fudging Wikipedia policies. If you read the court affidavit I submitted on the user page of an expert witness, the testimony states the 3HO organization is a CULT. IT SEEMS AS IF THIS 3HO CULT CANCER IS INFESTING WIKIPEDIA WITH MULTIPLE PAGES. Please look at the Wikipedia page concerning Miri Piri Academy, a 3HO organization, written as an advertisement, against Wikipedia policy. ' Without getting into trouble, can I undo all the text on the Yogi Bhajan page with "sources affiliated with the subject", i.e. citations from 3HO organizations or 3HO members?' Seems Guru Fatha Singh Khalsa is also very active on the Wikipedia 3HO page also. And there is also the Akal Security, and Yogi Tea pages, more 3HO organizations. Just found the Wikipedia pages for the following 3HO members and Yogi Bhajan followers: Gurumukh, Dharma Singh Khalsa, Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa, Singh Kaur, and Satkirm Kaur Kaur Khalsa, Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa, Snatam Kaur, etc.. The Yogi Bhajan page has a serious neutrality issue. Please advise. Respectfully Submitted, Daan Singh Daan singh ( talk) 05:36, 24 April 2012 (UTC) April 24, 2012
I am not the person to do it. I am a very old man. But the entry on David Ricardo is very inadequate.
Ricardo is surely one of the half dozen most important economists who ever lived. He was the primary founder of the English Classical School of Economics, and through that of the entire orthodox, Anglo- American economic tradition of the last two centuries, from Ricardo to John Stuart Mill, to Alfred Marshall, to the 20th Century explosion of professional economics, with addition of macroeconomics in what Paul Samuelson, the greatest economist since Keynes, called "the neo-classical synthesis."
Find someone to do a good job on Ricardo. Suggestion: Go to the University of Chicago graduate school.

The second is an indexing or navigational list, i.e., a list of Wikipedia article topics or subtopics; it is not about any real world list of fictional mustelids but is instead merely uses a list format. The list's entries are themselves limited to notable subjects, whether the characters themselves merit standalone articles or at least the works of fiction that depict them. For these kinds of lists, there is no one single way to evaluate their validity. Look to WP:CLN, WP:LISTPURP, WP:SALAT, and WP:LISTN for relevant guidelines. postdlf ( talk) 21:49, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

I am looking for an advice, for a problem what I personally think is inappropriate. I will try to explain it as short and clear as possible. I know this isn`t discussed on the talk page but since there isn`t an initiative (yet) by the changing party I am really asking for advice on this matter and what Wiki policies states in this case.
I don`t think that adding wikiProject country Y is appropriate to add to already existing wikiProject country X. I have 2 examples for this,
It is recently added to an already existing WikiProject (Romania,Slovakia) WikiProject Hungary what I believe to be inappropriate because if we start to do so adding this tags everywhere is losing it`s purpose. If we add other wiki projects, as that we can add almost to every article other wikiProjects(country X). Ex: We could add to almost whole Eastern Europe WP:TR(Ottoman Empire) on the same basis but there isn`t such attempts.
Also I noticed that is against general practice on Wikipedia, where one article contains WikiProject only of that country, unless it is a special case ( autonomous province, cultural center for that minority, or similar).
Diff of the problem I am talking about: 1, 2 and 3.
I am asking for advice is it appropriate to add other WikiProjects country X to places in other countries where there is no special case ( autonomous province, cultural center for that minority, or similar) present. Thanks in advance. Adrian ( talk) 20:37, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm wondering if there is a standard regarding youtube video's/celebs. Specifically, it was brought to my attention the recent deletion of the yogscast article by NawlinWiki. I can't speak for the article itself, as I cannot view the last deleted version, however, this user has a history of contentious deletions, to the point where their talk page has had to be protected, and a personal policy of deleting youtube based content, which I personally think is EXTREMELY out of place in the current internet culture, where many youtube producers are FAR larger stars than TV producers.
Yogscast has a regular following of nearly 2 million users, and nearly ten million hours of content having been viewed. There is no way that this is not a notable reference on the standard of popular human culture. The numbers yogscast puts up would put to shame most popular television series to date. They are by a wide margin the most accessed internet content in the UK.
I'm just wondering how, by anyone's standards, deletion can be the better option for their article as opposed to requests for more information or improved references?
Apologies if this is not the right place, I'm not familiar with the labyrinth of Wikipedia communities. Please feel free to direct this complaint to the correct location rather than being a jerk.

You have so much information, some correct and some not. The dracula legend really started from a husband loving his wife and carrying her around and kissing her neck because she loved it so much. It has nothing to do with biting animals and drinking anything like that. It was simply a wife lvoing her husband to carry her around and she liked to put her head back and he'd walk back and forth carrying her and giving her kisses on the neck. She loved that. She was spoilled with love, lots of love, and he'd walk her back and forth every night. He had a room where he would take her and kiss her neck. She loved that. The walkway of one of their houses was a long dark creeky walkway and her head would be dangling over with her arms hanging out all relaxed. She knew she was on her way to getting kises and loved the room where he took her.

Hello Wikipedia Editor,
I have drafted an edit in my sandbox page that, if I post it anywhere, would be the Henry Purcell page, in the "In popular culture" section, after the first paragraph, which makes reference to "The Cold Song", which, as Dryden wrote it and Purcell set it, starts "What power art thou, who from below hast made me rise, unwillingly and slow, from beds of everlasting snow".
It has some very sensitive content, that includes reference to trying to take one's own life, so while it is also very constructive and compassionate it may be unsuitable to post. Please would you have a look and let me know your views. I will separately be seeking advice from a mental psychological and psychological health professional about its suitability for inclusion in a publicly available place.

At the least the title of the page needs to be changed as the people listed are not on the Vernona list, they are code names that some unreliable authors believe they have figured out.

I just wanted to bring to someone's attention a material "typo" in the Wikipedia entry for the U.S. House of Representatives.
The "History" section includes the following paragraph. I have highlighted (bold) the questionable text, where I think the author means another date besides March 4, 2001.
Eventually, the Convention reached the Connecticut Compromise, or the Great Compromise, under which one house of Congress (the House of Representatives) would provide representation proportional to each state's population, whereas the other (the Senate) would provide equal representation amongst the states. The Constitution was ratified by the requisite number of states (nine out of the 13) in 1788, but its implementation was set for March 4, 2001. The House began work on April 1, 1789, when it achieved a quorum for the first time.

HI, I'm trying to edit an article in my user space because it's a somewhat major revision and I want to allow other editors to comment before making it live. Unfortunately, other editors keep deleting it or messing with it. THIS IS EXPREMELY FRUSTRATING. I consider it a serious violation of wiki ettiquitte to simply blow away several hours of my donated time without discussing it first.

I understand that whatever revisions I make will be subject to review and editing by other editors. I have a very good working relationship with the active editors on the page in question, and I'm sure we will come to a good consensus on the talk page once the proposed revision is in place on my user page.
