Scott Card racist?
(Note: Per wp:CANVASSING I am ""non-biasedly"" advertising a topic for discussion by posting a notice on the ten most recent users who commented on the page in question's talkpage and also the ten most recent users who edited the article in question.)Commentators continue to reference/allege Card's piece involving a fictional, future Obama's coup d'état by way of urban guirillas as racist (eg see here in Slate, 2013; here, HuffPo, 2013; here, Wired, 2014). Should our article mention this aspect of controversy with regard to the piece here: ""Orson Scott Card#Politics""?(Also see a 2013 blogpost by M Aspan citing this from Card in 2000 rgding allegedly non-racist use of nigga'.)See discussion here: Talk:Orson Scott Card#RfC: Subject of blp racist?

Aclarations... by a Vallekan
First of all, ´Vallekas, por la kara´, is a motto which maybe translated (in a far way) like ""Vallekas, without shame"", the literal translation is ""Vallekas, by the face"" in fact, like a joke, ""by the face"" with this exact words and in english, is very used in spain, like other stupid literal translations like ""from lost to the river"" or the spanish word for jogging: ""footing"". Por la cara can be used, in an example: And that guy? i hope he isnt thinking in enter ""by the face"", he must wait the cole.
""las 7 tetas, is the popular name of ""El Cerro del Tio pío"", ""Tío Pío"" (uncle Pío) was the name of a poor vallekan man, who feed and host in his house other poor man, this park was before a ""vertedero ilegal"" but it was covered with cement, land and grass, it is a usual local vallekan place for Botellón, over it has been a lot ofs fights between latin kings and left spanish gruops, cause the latins try to steal the people while they is drunk, ahh! its at the back of my house, more: http://maps.google.es ->""cerro del tío pío""" | 0 |

The apotropaic powers of inscriptions
""Äpotropaic"" means ""to turn away"": the idea was that a demon could be turned away from a house etc by displaying a holy text (or at least a magical text) near the door. The inscription therefore had to be clearly visible - at head-level, and outside the door (no point in letting your demon come inside before he could read the magic). The Tel Yayit stone doesn't fulfill these criteria: it was being used in an internal wall, inside a dark room, was about 3 feet off the ground, and was very faint. The archaeologists who found it missed it themselves until the last day of excavation, when they just happened to see it early one morning in ideal conditions, in the low raking light of the rising sun. Tho the setting sun would have done just as well. But the point is, in a dark room 3 feet off the ground, no demon is going to see it or read it, and even if he were a midget-demon, he's already inside, so what's the point? So, no apotropaic powers for this stone. " | 0 |
Yeah, ok. Insulting me is a good way to figure out what the reality of the situation is. It's obvious that I find the situation more nuanced that you do; an earlier version of this page suggested that in exchange for electing Williams speaker, he voted with the Democrats on an organizing resolution that put them as the majority party, but that claim wasn't supported by a link, so it was removed. | 0 |

ACTUAL RESEARCH INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF A CHARACTER'S POWERS WORKING MAY BE OF INTEREST AND WILL ENHANCE THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CHARACTER BUT IS TOTALLY IRRELEVANT AS A 'POWER'. IF SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE CHARACTER CAN DO AND HAS DONE IN COMIC BOOKS, REAL WORLD RESEARCH INTO GAMMA RAYS IS IRRELEVANT. FOR INSTANCE, IF SOMEONE LOOKED UP BLACK LIGHTNING'S POWERS, IT IS IRRELEVANT TO HIS POWER DESCRIPTION TO LIST UNDER HIS POWERS THAT PEOPLE TYPICALLY GET ELECTROCUTED WHEN IN CONTACT WITH HIGH VOLTAGE. THE ACTUAL RESEARCH INTO GAMMA RADITION IS SOMETHING TO NOTE AND AN INTERSTING FACT TO CONSIDER BUT ALTHOUGH IT RELATES TO THE CHARACTER IN THAT THE RESEARCH IS MOTIVATED BY THE CHARACTER, THE RESEARCH IS NOT HIS STRENGTH, RESISTANCE TO DAMAGE, OR ABILITY TO SEE ASTRAL FORMS I.E.

pre-January 2012 content

However this is effectively a revert of edits which were intended to lessen the advertising tone and jargon previously in this article.

The way you act towards editors working in good faith is what is condescending. You could of made this a civil discussion by first DISCUSSING things instead of going around blanking edits. That is insulting to editors who take the time to go and put in information that is properly sourced. If the general state of the page has issues, that is fine, but it is not your job to go and start harassing editors who are simply working on the page. This was a relevant quote I read at one point that does sum up the fears of a certain part of the population of Europe. Be it correct or not is not the point. I will say again, as this is in effect Judgement Day for Turkey when it comes to the EU, you are doing no service to your people by acting in such a manner. Because I as a citizen of Europe will have some say when the time comes, and you've done a good job at pushing me a bit more to the 'no' side.. which I didn't consider myself before. Good work! | 0 |

Question
Question
This is a bit beyond the policy proposal, so I hope you do not mind my asking here. You have sparked my curiosity. What do the entries in my logs and user rights changes have to do with anything there? That is to ask, how did you come to that conclusion? ) Best, Mercury at
How can I mind? I brought it up in the discussion. I was checking your user rights log to see if you had been a checkuser (forgetting that the CU flag doesn't seem to appear there) when I saw that you seemed to have some problems with another ""Mercury"", along with a number of strange actions taken on your account (a 5-second block, a sysopping after a voluntary resignation, blocking yourself for vandalism, an OTRS deletion, etc.). I still don't understand what all that is about, but it had made me suspect that you've been the target of vandals. I thought it might explain why you seem so anxious to get this draft policy approved in such a hurry, even though almost none of the people to be charged to execute it had commented. (I haven't been back yet to see the current state.) I was trying to express my understanding toward someone I thought might have a personal need for the policy, but in retrospect my comment sounds more like some vague insinuation. For that, I apologize. ~ (talk) " | 0 |

Pray tell, what do you consider to be a WP:RS???
You removed an article (Luiza Savage) from the former Category: Harvard alumni and Category: Yale alumni due to lack of reliable sources, despite the fact that I ref'd the most widely circulated news magazine in Canada. Being a socialist means I don't put much faith in old-guard media, but I'd have thought the Canadian equivalent of Newsweek would suffice for Wikipedia purposes! All of this is moot now though, as your edit is now buried beneath several others, thus precluding a simple reversion.
Incorrect edits and deletions by bots will tend to discourage new, inexperienced and/or otherwise less-engaged Wikipedians like myself from contributing. This being the case, perhaps you would consider a 30 day buffer period before bot-editing articles. The worst part of this is that the target of your deletion was utterly uncontroversial, and didn't violate WP:BLP in letter or spirit. Frustrating!
One last thing: The only people on Earth with access to the Harvard alumni list (the lone source that's MORE reliable) are...Harvard alumni! I don't count myself among their number. If you do, feel free to provide refs! | 0 |

White light is a wavefront with power(energy) equally distributed across the visible frequency spectrum. When the wavefront has power levels distributed at different frequencies so that some parts the spectrum have more or less power, then we call that a color. The wavefront that impacts the eye to produce the sensation of Magenta has high power levels in the lower and higher frequencies and low power levels in the center frequencies. It is just one wavefront but shaped in power intensity vs frequency. There is no such thing as different colors of light waves, only a wavefront that has a power vs frequency shape. As such there are not incoming different frequencies of light to produce a color, its just one wavefront. No separate blue or red light enters the eye to be combined and produce a color. The color is inherent in the energy distribution of the wavefront which stimulates the frequency sensitive biological receptors in proportion to the power levels within the wavefront.
It is for this reason that Magenta is (as are all colors) spectral. It is the energy vs frequency distribution of the incoming wavefront that produces the perceived color sensation. Any color you like can be produced by a single tunable light source through modulation.
One wavefront .... not seperate incoming light colors. | 0 |

In addition, it is not acceptable to call other editors names. On the grand scale of names, ""Twit"" is rather mild. But it is still not acceptable. People on Wikipedia have to be able to work together. And name calling of any degree is totally contrary to an atmosphere conducive of such communication. So I strongly recommend that you refrain from any further name-called of your fellow editors. - " | 0 |

As an artist and art historian, I am firm in the belief that the artist ought to be acknowledged. Copyright protects the ownership of living artists and the more recently deceased. Decency ought to respect the ownership of earlier artists, and those who are still living but have permitted use of their work.
I don't have any difficult about using without acknowledgment the very average point-and-click snapshots that get uploaded without being cropped or straightened. But when Wikipedia has photos uploaded that are carefully composed and are ""artworks"" in their own right, then the author needs acknowledgment. It is probably wrong of me to make a distinction here, but there appears to be a difference between the camera holder functioning simply as a recorder and functioning as a thinking, planning creative artist. (Strangely enough, it is often the takers of badly lit lop-sided holidays snaps that want to be acknowledged.)
It is, I suppose, a value judgement that I may not be entitled to make. However, some of the world's top photographers have chosen to upload their works to Wikipedia. I would no more use a portrait by Allen Warren without stating the author than I would use a portrait by Van Dyck or Gainsborough.
Tell me, we know when copyright drops out, but at what point, do you think, the right of acknowledgment of creative effort and real talent should cease?

I'm not sure that anything such a person attempts to add is worth verifying but should be summarily deleted on the basis that a responsible person would identify himself. If the material is truly worthy, a responsible scholar will get around to adding it. In the present case, I believe we are dealing with a sock puppet for an editor who has been banned previously for similar activity and may be on probation right now. If so, that probation is being violated, and keeping his edits or wasting time on his ""contributions"" simply enables continuing violations. (talk) ""- " | 0 |

Speculation in Vatican section

The apparent reference to ""other religions"" is to the violent protests against the depiction of Prophet Muhammad in cartoons.[2]

Three factual observations:
1. The Patchett AfD was logged [here]
2. Her page clearly states that she's from Western Australia, and that she's listed in the category for People from Perth, Western Australia
3. Dan has a long history of editing pages about WA.
Obviously I can't say for certain how Dan came to edit the page, and I have no idea at all if he would recognise the name and follow through after seeing it in the log, nor if he even saw the log, but I can say that there are other possibilities than the one LibStar suggests. Unless LibStar has other evidence that isn't posted here, I don't really see how he or she can be so confident that Dan is in the wrong. ¶ Now, for the record, before I'm accused of something, I'll note that I've been editing some of the same pages as Dan since 2007. I took a look at his contributions page to see if he'd been up to anything interesting recently, and came across this. | 0 |

Hazel Eyes
Hi, I noticed you had reverted my changes to the hazel eye section however left me a message informing me I could contact you on your talk page providing more information. I've numerously tried to get Wikipedia to change the hazel eye color section as it's informing people that hazel eyes can be gold/brown and green (either could be dominant) which is a myth as a hazelnut doesn't contain any significant green colouration whatsoever, it is true that sometimes very minimal green tints are present in a brown eye to produce a golden glow and create the hazel colour but hazel eyes can never be eyes that are significantly green with slight brown/gold admixture, that is a North American misconception which is believed to have occurred in the past 100 years or so, as in Europe the origin of light/coloured eyes and hazelnuts, the true/original meaning is still used. The problem is there is no documentation on hazel eye definitions changing throughout the years nor has there ever been a study conducted tracing back to how the myth/misconception in North America came about, it's more of an assumption that people have come to realize as North Americans have started inaccurately identifying eyes that are significantly green with slight brown admixture as well as eyes that are blue or grey with brown admixture; as the colour hazel because they're multi-coloured and appear to change in different lighting even though they don't resemble the colour of a hazelnut in any way. It's an issue/myth that requires common sense to understand really, so even though I cannot provide you with documentation or studies concerning the changes of hazel eye definitions becoming misconceived in North America I can provide you with numerous sources/pictures of what hazel eyes are supposed to be and what the colour 'hazel' is described as being;
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hazel (defines it as a light golden brown colour, after a hazelnut)
http://www.fanteye.com/extimages/p_FreshlooksColorblendsChartLG.jpg (shows a pure hazel eye, big difference to the green eye diagonally below to the right)
http://ygraph.com/chart/2990 (shows hazel as a honey/beige brown colour and categorizes is next to another brown eye rather than green)
http://www.colormecontacts.com/colored-contacts-for-dark-eyes (puts hazel eyes in the same category as honey, not green plus displays a green eye with abit of brown under the green category)
http://www.yestheyrefake.net/color_contacts_buy_photos.htm (shows hazel eyes in numerous pictures presenting them as a golden brown)
http://hazeleyes-wintergoddess.blogspot.com.au/2009/07/hazel-eyes.html (states the North American misconception and the true/original European definition while showing examples of various sources, numerous pictures and comments below of people agreeing and showing gratitude)
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_definition_of_Hazel_eyes (states the misconception and says that hazel eyes are supposed to match the hazel or cob nut, the fruit of the hazel bush/tree that grows in Europe)
http://m.rateitall.com/iPhone/item.aspx?p=0&ItemID;=1074601 (shows an optometrists opinion/experience with the issue while stating the North American hazel eye misconception and providing sources backing up his statement)
I would also like to state the very first reference to eyes ever being compared to the colour 'hazel' was by William Shakespeare in Romeo & Juliet in which he was comparing a persons eyes to the reddish brown colour of a ripe hazelnut; Mercutio: “Thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes;–what eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel?” Act 3. Scene I Romeo and Juliet

Considering William Shakespeare was an English writer it does prove the original intension/purpose of calling a persons eyes the colour hazel was to compare them to the colouration of either a light golden brown hazelnut or a reddish darker brown hazelnut and never a green and gold/brown mix or any multi-coloured eye (blue, grey or green with brown around the pupil) as a hazelnut doesn't present any blue, grey or green colouration nor is the colour 'hazel' described as possessing any of these colours. I only hope you're more understanding of this issue and can agree with what i'm saying, I strongly think you should keep my last changes to the hazel eye section so people can understand/know about what hazel eyes are supposed to be rather than leaving the information as it is feeding people with the North American myth. That being said the hazel eyes picture on the right of the hazel eye section isn't green or gold in any way it's actually a blue eye with significant brown around the pupil, the hazel eye section doesn't say anything about haz | 0 |

Mason-Dixon
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Your multiple reverts of references to ""Sailing to Philadelphia"" in the Mason-Dixon article violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia.

""JFK:First Day Evidence""
I looked for information on a book called ""First Day Evidence"" written by Gary Savage. Several book reviews noted the following
Mr. Savage is the nephew of a retired member of Dallas police crime lab who processed much of the evidence gathered the day of the JFK assassination, Nov. 22, 1963. Savage located a number of documents and photographs, previously not published that were in official Dallas police files or the personal files of retired police officers. ""JFK:First Day Evidence"" consists of those documents and photographs with commentary on the investigative activities of the Dallas police on the day of and shortly after the assassination.
This book appears to contain good evidence during the critical period.
I am looking forward to reading it.

He was claiming that an article that said ""neglect"" could be used as a source for a statement that said ""discrimination"". There were several other such instances of misrepresentation in the past hour alone, during which, among other things, he accused me of making a covert attack on his religion. When I pointed out that neglect should not be paraphrased as 'discrimination', he said they had the same connotation. And you are trying to say that ""your inability to comprehend that one word does not mean the same thing as another does not portend well for any article you write"" is unacceptable? What is unacceptable about it? Is he not apparently unable to comprehend that the two words are not interchangeable? (""Exploitation, Neglect, etc. are all terms with a negative connotation. Pettifoggery isnt going to change the fact that a spade is a spade"") Is that not likely to negatively impact any article he writes?
And where do you get off telling me how to handle him, or making strange 'warnings'? If you can handle him better, why are you not trying to fix these articles that POV-pushers muck up on a regular basis? An abdication of responsibility that's only made worse by your coming and telling me that you think I am being uncivil when I have made the utmost effort over months to encourage this editor to avoid making personal attacks. I am this close to taking this to AN/I as an unconscionable abuse of admin power. " | 0 |

You're right, staying in a country while you are working does not constitute being an ""expatriate"". The definition of expatriate is someone that takes up residence there (residence does not constitute staying at a local hotel, or renting a house as you're a guest and not a resident of the region). I think we need not confuse ""living in a country"" with ""staying in a country"". When you're there for a couple of months, that isn't taking up residence. Now, if you're there for a couple of years, then you're talking about a move that will most likely require one to uproot their family for the duration of the stay. (Contact me) " | 0 |

":::: But Petrarchan47, that's one of the problems. ) AlterNet is not a legitimate reference for determining any scientific issue any more than Fox ""News"" is. AlterNet is highly biased, catering to a progressive political position which, I would agree, cleaves strongly to scientific principles yet is biased nonetheless. That article you reference fails on any number of fatal logic fallacies, not the least of which is the begging the question claim that there were ""millions"" in the protest, nor the begging the question supposition that the movement is ""gaining steam.""
Immersion in to the scientific literature is what the other Editors suggested is the most reasonable avenue of contention resolution on this article, not diving in to highly biased blogish web sites that cater to particular political and social world views. No offense intended, please understand. ) I appeal to science and the Scientific Method which AlterNet just aint no part of.
The whole article here is badly un-encyclopedic. The article is strewn with unsupported suppositions. It totally fails to meet even rudimentary High School level reporting of the event leave alone reach what I would consider to be good encyclopedia work.

If you seriously think that ""described by the UK press as being best known for starring"" somehow encapsulates more information, engages more readers, and is more aesthetically pleasing than simply ""starred"", then you are spectacularly, utterly, ineptly clueless. 190.46.98.195 " | 0 |

Your facts are wrong: I haven't identified myself as gay (or straight, for that matter). I favour inclusion of the reference because it's an significant piece of information ... and while I don't doubt that Maddin's loss was ""disappointing"" to him, such terminology doesn't meet the standard for inclusion on this forum.

Expansion and/or merge
This is a fascinating subject. However, the references provided contradict the clearly OR material used to create this stub. it's possible to find both declines and increases in public library funding, at least in the US. More, please! | 0 |

Hi, Badmintonhist, sorry to say i have to took your time to help me, but i expand the article not to just prank, actually i want to promote it to ""Good Article"", do you heard it before? I need your POV, actually do i need to write the score in career section, or just summarize it? Thanks for your help. f1 " | 0 |
Hi, thanks for responding. Notability, from Wikipedia's perspective, is not about how the subject (Knok) is written about in Wikipedia; and it's not about how widely it's known by word of mouth; it's solely about what has been written about the subject in other sources such as the news. For an organization like knok, the relevant guideline is WP:ORG. I urge you to read it. Cheers, and whatever happens to the Knok article I hope you continue to contribute to the encyclopedia. | 0 |
