[edit]That comment was from a user named "Sagbliss" who was off the charts in her misunderstanding of what wikipedia is for, and how it works. She was upset by other editors reverting her edits, and asking her to be more balanced. Eventually she threatened to sue the foundation, other editors, admins and the like. She was banned.

I don't blame you. Thanks for responding. John Paul Parks (talk) 23:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Just saw your edits to the above. Do you have a reference for your statement that "This rule is based on the Biblical account of Sarah, whose [sic] bore Isaac, even though she was in her 90's. Genesis 21:2". Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 17:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Disagree re Too Much Jargon
[edit]I do not consider the terminology as jargon at all, but rather that the terminology is saliently pertinent to the subject. Understandably it may present as being considerably unfamiliar to those not conversant with this somewhat technical subject. The original contributor's information is well written and informative. Furthermore, John Paul Park's statement that "anulment" is Catholicism's term for 'divorce' is absolutely erroneous. There is a definitive difference between divorce and annulment. It needs to be clearly stated and understood that the Catholic Church does not recognise divorce and never has. In other words, where it considers a valid marriage exists then The Church cannot and will not grant an annulment. However, where The Church considers there are sufficient grounds upon which to prove that a valid marriage was not originally entered into, then an annulment is possible, on the basis that a valid marriage never existed - hence an annulment.
On this basis I would suggest that the above marker be removed from the original contributer's explanation. Dingerooz (talk) 16:33, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I think that, although the inclusion of the information that her grandparents were slaves may or may not be relevant (although I would argue that it is), I would like to state that the ability of your Ukrainian grandparents to raise themselves to the point where their grandson has become a lawyer is hardly relevant, and, indeed, is vastly different from the experience of African-Americans in this country. I am not African-American, but just a cursory study of the hardships that they had to endure, especially in the south where Fannie Lou Hamer was from, would reveal that this specific subgroup in the United States not only had to push against economic constraints, but also psychological and, indeed, physical ones, as well. They were not only looked down upon, but also spat on, beat, and murdered. Should your grandparents had to endure and overcome such hardships in order to succeed, their grandson may not have had the opportunity to become a lawyer. Even with the inclusion of such as these, there are, I'm sure, attorneys practicing law whose lineage includes slaves.

Anne Frank Diary
[edit]I share in your critical thinking concerning the authenticity, or lack thereof, of the Ann Frank diary, and I wanted to tell you that I think it SUCKS - for lack of a better term - that anyone who questions the veracity of the diary - or at least what we know of the diary today - is reflixively branded a Holocaust denier, or some kind of antisemite. Patently untrue. It is untrue in my case and clearly it is untrue in yours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jros83 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Your addition to Mutiny on the Bounty
[edit]Hello. Your recent good faith addition to the Mutiny on the Bounty plot section is really very long and overdetailed; the Mills/cheese episode winds up being as long as the rest of the plot. I'd like to suggest you give it a trim — a serious trim — perhaps summarizing the theft and the flogging in a sentence or two, and then closing it out with Bligh's remark about cruelty with a purpose is efficiency, which speaks volumes about Bligh in just a few deft words. It's easy to "go long" on a Plot section when you love a film (as we both love this one, I suspect), but the guideline is 750 words, which is probably a good length. Readers who haven't seen the picture probably wouldn't care about a detailed Plot section, and those who did don't need the detail. If I can be of any help, please feel free to ask. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 06:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- Good trims. I made a few more myself. Hope you approve. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 00:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

- John Paul, if your English teacher had had her way, The Beatles would never have created "Paperback Writer": "It's a dirty story of a dirty man, and his clinging wife doesn't understand." Variety of words is the least important consideration in putting together good sentences!

RE: King Willem Alexander
[edit]Hi, in response to your message [1]:
While Denmark might have a state religion, the Netherlands doesn't have one officially - although one could say that the officious state religion is Protestant Church in the Netherlands / (Dutch Reformed). The general term "Protestant" is used in the same way in the Netherlands as it is in the US - denominating any non-Catholic Christians. Please feel free to adjust the link in the infobox to "Protestant Church in the Netherlands" if you think it would be clearer to US readers - I think the current version was put there mainly for brevity's sake.

Christa McAuliffe
[edit]I am removing your tag for clarification on the remains. Divers found the crew compartment of Challenger. A large number of sources from the period mention this, including [2]. The remains were processed at Dover Air Force Base [3] and those that could be identified were returned to the families. I didn't include this level of detail on the McAuliffe page as it seemed beyond its scope. Details of the remains, processing ceremony, and distribution seem more appropriate for the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster page. - Thanks, Jh12 (talk) 01:31, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
RE: Baseball
[edit]Well thank you for your kind words! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the documentary's bias towards teams from the Eastern United States and I imagine that it must piss off basball fans west of the Bos-Wash corridor.RatdePatinoire (talk) 17:02, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
"table"
[edit]Thank you for your edit to quorum call. The confusion about the competing meanings of "table" comes up more frequently than one might imagine. ("Table" is one of the few English words with two meanings that arguably mean the opposite of each other. Two other examples are "sanction" and "cleave.") Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 02:14, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Pluto
[edit]You need to be clearer about what you want. "According to whom" isn't much to go on. Do you want me to quote the source directly? Or are you asking whether the Observatory actually had the right to name Pluto?
- The answer is the International Astronomical Union; not sure that needs to be included though, since it's true of every astronomical body discovered since 1919. Serendipodous 18:18, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Response from comment on my user talk page - I reverted your edit for being OR, not for being incorrect. Frontiero v. Richardson split 4-4 on whether to apply strict scrutiny to sex distinctions in the law reviewed under the Equal Protection Clause. So no decision was reached on the correct standard. Three years later, in Craig v. Boren, the Supreme Court decided on intermediate scrutiny (a less strict standard) as the standard for reviewing legal sex distinctions. The ERA would at least require the application of strict scrutiny (the standard for legal race distinctions). SMP0328. (talk) 01:05, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Wizard of Oz
[edit]You may have noticed they reverted your changes. The reason is that it's unsourced, so it appears to be original research. And besides which, the following counterarguments can be made:
- Dorothy runs away from home, taking her dog, Toto, with her, so that Miss Glutch will not be able to return and take him to the sheriff to be destroyed. At some point in the movie, Dorothy's reason for running away from home is subtly re-characterized as evidencing Dorothy's wish to pursue her heart's content. - She had already been persuaded, by Prof. Marvel, to go back home. The tornado put a crimp in those plans. The film's wrap-up comes full circle with the song "Over the Rainbow", as she discovers that she's already there in some sense.
- After Dorothy is in Oz, and is following the Yellow Brick Road on her journey to see the wizard, she comes to a fork in the road where the Yellow Brick Road continues in three different directions. After interacting with the scarecrow, she and the scarecrow head off in one of the three directions, but it is never explained how or why they made that choice or where the other potential routes would have led. - One can infer that all the yellow brick roads lead to Oz.
- Dorothy and the wizard attempt to leave Oz in the wizard's balloon, but Toto goes after a dog in the crowd and jumps out of the balloon's gondola. Dorothy goes after him, and the wizard leaves without them. As it turns out, Dorothy still had the oil can with her, which would have left the tin man without any way to remedy his chronic rusting problem. - They're in a city, so locating some more oil should not be a problem.
- The fate of Miss Gultch is never explained; thus viewers do not know whether Toto was safe or not. - True, although it's inferred that she was swept up by the tornado. But if not, presumably they would have dealt with it. Dorothy defeated her in Oz, she could stand up to her in real life.←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 09:16, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- When you say "source information for a list of inaccuracies", are you referring to things like the questions you've raised above, or "continuity mistakes"? The most glaring of those is probably the witch talking about "sending a little insect to take the fight out of them", which of course refers to the deleted scene about the "jitterbug". That movie has been sliced-and-diced for generations and there are countless web sites and books that talk about oddities in Oz. The tricky part would be to find reliable sources, as many of those sources tend to be personal opinions and/or user-input (i.e. like wikipedia). ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:27, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Pointing things out based on observations of the film can take you into "original research" territory. It's much safer to take comments from the specials and commentaries that come with DVD's, since those are the presumed "experts" talking. Just an aside: This film having become a classic due to so many TV appearances shows the value of the "small screen", which can hide some details. I'm thinking specifically of maybe a dozen years ago, probably one of the "anniversary" releases, when it was shown in movie theaters for awhile. At least two things jumped out at me. One was that the "hanging munchkin" was a product of seeing a small and ambiguous image. On the big screen, it was obviously one of the birds in that set piece, flapping its wings. However, that nifty backdrop when Dorothy was dancing away from Munchkinland was very obvious also... like they yelled "cut" just before she ran into it. (Either that, or it was poorly-executed matte-painting work.) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:34, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

[edit]RE: List of Waltons Characters
[edit]Hi John Paul. Just a courtesy heads up to let you know I reverted your recent edit to List of The Waltons characters and why. Basically why was because there is no Wiki for Ashley Longworth and doubtful ever will be. While of course mentioned dozens of times over the course of the series, Mr. Longworth was never seen and would have a hard time qualifying as even a minor character on the show, let alone one deserving of a dedicated Wiki.

[edit]Hi. This edit introduced an inaccuracy into the article. Thatcher was never a pharmacist. Could you please be more careful? Thanks a lot. --John (talk) 22:16, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Then the article needs clarification. The English use the word "chemist" when Americans would use the word "pharmacist." If she was a research chemist, then that needs to be stated explicitly, in order to avoid confusion. In my view, Wikipedia should use American English and not try to put on airs with British English.John Paul Parks (talk) 05:20, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- See WP:ENGVAR. You might as well say that we should standardise on British English. Our actual policy is to use whichever dialect is appropriate to the subject. As Thatcher is English we use that version on her article. --John (talk) 08:22, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I'm sorry, but I reverted your recent additions to this article. You added a section claiming that the resolution 'falsified history' by stating that American women were first given the right to vote by the 19th Amendment. While it's true that before it was passed, most states permitted women to vote in at least some elections, it is accurate to say that they did not have the right to do so: as women's suffrage was not protected by the Constitution, any state that permitted it could theoretically have taken it away. Only when the Amendment was passed did women's suffrage become a Constitutional right, guaranteed for the first time to all American women (well, except those who were disenfranchised for other reasons, like black women in the South). Hence the language of the resolution. While you could say it's overstating the importance of the 19th Amendment, you'd have to be wilfully misinterpreting it to say it 'falsified history'. Such a claim is not consistent with WP:NPOV. Robofish (talk) 20:17, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- OK, fair comments, I take the point about the 19th Amendment also being potentially open to repeal. I doubt that Bella Abzug was as ignorant as you suggest of the history of women's rights, though; I still think the meaning of the resolution is clear, that it was commemorating the first time women's suffrage had been constitutionally protected across all states. In any case, the reasons I removed your criticism from the article are that it was non-neutrally written and not sourced. If you can find a source demonstrating that the resolution has been criticised as historically inaccurate, then you can say so in the article, as long as that criticism is written fairly and neutrally.

[edit]I reverted your good faith edits HERE for they don't present either side of the controversy. To clarify, by "either side of the controersy" I mean either party, either faction, as opposed to either viewpoint (which you did present). I suspect you intended well, but I note that what is really needed would be to [WP:RS|cite]] a supporter of the pro-English side arguing in favor of English in Puerto Rico AND using in their argument the New Mexico statements you used. For example something like, "The San Juan-based "Pro-English Puerto Rico" organization has stated that English in a Puerto Rico as a state of the American Union would not represent a precendent as this already happened when New Mexico was admitted to the Union (Citation: Some Author. Some Book. Some Publisher. Some Publication date. Some ISBN. Some page number)," would satisfy the NPOV policy in this regard. The fact that you did not include such citation, introduces an element of WP:OR, and I am sure that was not what you intended. Regards.

[edit]Multiple problems with editorializing
[edit]- This edit at United Nations Security Council veto power is editorializing.
- This set of edits at Metrication in Canada is childish editorializing.
- More editorializing at Roger Mudd.
- Still more at Candid Camera.
Wikipedia is not your blog. If you can't cite a reliable source, you should probably not make the edit.
I'm going to be reviewing all of your contributions as this appears to be an ongoing problem. If you feel is unfair or unwarranted, you're welcome to take thus up at the dispute resolution noticeboard.

- I've also reverted the following:
- Original research see WP:OR at Voter turnout in the United States presidential elections.
- This at Jimmy Carter. This is even more problematic, but has already been reverted.
- Problematic, but already reverted (Roots: The Saga of an American Family)
- Editorial, already removed (The Four-Way Test).
- I've gone through your past year of contributions, and the further back I go the better the edits get. You've done some really solid work here, and I'm hoping we see much more of the same. Garamond Lethet

Greenwood High School (Mississippi)
[edit]Thanks for pointing out that the external link to the school website was incorrect. I took 30 seconds and fixed it. I'd like to share with you, from WP:DRIVEBYTAGGING, that "if you identify a issue with a page, and yet the issue is trivial or has a straightforward solution, it's usually best to fix it yourself!" Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:17, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note back. I'm not sure what you mean about having your edit reverted. You only made one edit to the article, and it wasn't reverted. All I was trying to say is, this was a simple fix. Part of the fun of editing is adding new information. By doing this fix, I got to read the school's website. It can't be much fun adding tags to articles. Anyway, take care. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:03, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

[edit] You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use talk pages for inappropriate discussions, as you did at Gerald Ford. Unless you provide sources backing your position, just rambling about how the article is incorrect is disruptive. Another editor reverted your talk page comments and I endorse their actions. If you want to change the content of the article along the lines of your rants, make a WP:BOLD, well sourced edit, see if that flies, and then discuss it if it doesn't per WP:BRD. Posting unreferenced distribes on an article talk page is never constructive. John from Idegon (talk) 00:42, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
