== Poorly referenced sections ==
The sections Astrology#Core_principles, Astrology#World_traditions and Astrology#History appear to be very poorly referenced and constructed with an over-reliance on primary and unreliable sources, and some synthesis thrown in too. I think their current poor state lets the article down the most. | toxic | en |

:::::::::::It's not really correct to say that under the Australian Constitution New Zealand has the ""right"" or even ""an invitation"" to join the Commonwealth of Australia. A ""right"" would imply that NZ can join regardless of the Australian attitude to this and this simply isn't the case. During the initial stages of planning for federation, the possibility of NZ joining was a real one. But by the time the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act was enacted by the Westminster Parliament in 1900, the possibility of NZ joining the Commonwealth of Australia as an original state was no longer realistic. But since NZ was right next door and had a relatively small population it was still possible that NZ (along with other nearby British possessions such as some of the islands in the Western Pacific) would wish to join at a future date. The preamble reflects this by stating: ""Whereas the people of [the current Australian states] have agreed to unite ... and whereas it is expedient to provide for the admission into the Commonwealth of other Australasian Colonies and possessions of the Queen"". This just states the political reality of the time that (in the eyes of the British Government it was ""expedient"" (made sense!) for other nearby British colonies to jump on the bandwagon. One large British colony is easier to administer not to mention is more capable of defending itself than several small ones. NZ does, however, get explicit mention in one of the covering clauses. The definition of ""the states"" in covering clause 6 includes reference to NZ. If you read this carefully it does not say that NZ *is* a state of the Commonwealth or even that it *has the right to become* a state. Rather it simply says that if it did join then it would be a state for the purposes of the Australian Constitution. Since it didn't join at the time of Federation the only possibility of NZ joining is now under Chapter VI of the Constitution which deals with the admission or establishment of new states. If NZ wanted to join, it would along with anyone else who wanted to join have to do so according to the provisions of s 121 which states that ""The Parliament may admit to the Commonwealth or establish new States, and may upon such admission or establishment make or impose such terms and conditions, including the extent or representation in either House of Parliament, as it thinks fit"". That's not a right. It's entirely up to the Australian Parliament whether NZ or anyone else for that matter can join. But again, the chances of NZ joining now are of course almost non-existent.

"The ""Gdansk vote"" - a discussion that took place freakin' fifteen years ago is completely irrelevant. It is not nor ever was policy or even a guideline. The appropriate guideline is Wikipedia's naming convention and manual of style. Did Wikipedia even have infoboxes when the Gdansk discussion took place? If not then how can it possibly apply to that. Did the sources change in the fifteen freakin' years since the Gdansk discussion? If so, then that's an additional reason not to care about it.
If you think that you can hide behind the Gdansk vote in order to carry out your edit wars, or to engage in nationalistic POV pushing, that's your prerogative. I very strongly doubt that others will see it the same way.

Welcome to Wikipedia, ! My name is Ryan, aka . I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS.

How to edit a page

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? )

Actually Wikipedia cannot be a ref for Wikipedia. The other items Pottergreen had were interesting and I used them in the context section - they had nothing to do with JE. But Pottergreen do NOT let this discussion discourage you. Wikipedia has 10,000 or more rules and everyone quotes them everywhere. In time you will get used to using those rules as Samuel does. So keep going and find other items, instead of using Wikipedia as a reference. | toxic | en |

I believe that free speech and lack of respect for privacy are different issues completely, and one cannot be used to lay into the other. As far as I am aware, the general consensus across many sites is that if you plaster your personal information all over the internet then you have little recourse when it is plastered somewhere you do not like. It is then logical that whoever holds the domain would choose not to release that information as a common sense measure. I think that the idea that ED simply wishes to ""publish all trackable personal data of victims to defame them"" is a misunderstanding at best and a blatant lie at worst, and the point it (poorly) attempts to make is not worthy of mention in the article.

:::I think you entirely misunderstood my point - I was saying Pearce is really ""rural"", not ""outer metropolitan"" at all, but is also classed outer metropolitan by the AEC. I disagree re Belair, it's the equivalent of our hills suburbs like Kalamunda (it backs onto a national park and roads from it immediately leave the metro area), just Adelaide has a much smaller metro area so it ""seems"" more inner. My personal opinion is we shouldn't carry the AEC's designations at all and should simply state where it is located factually, without subjective comparative references. i.e. ""It is located between x and x km south of Adelaide, extending from the beachside suburbs of Brighton, Seacliff and Marino to the Belair National Park on Adelaide's eastern fringe, | and includes the suburbs of Marion, Mitchell Park, Daw Park, Mitcham, Pasadena, Belair and Blackwood | [major suburbs only; either this or leave it out and follow with a list under a heading]. It is home to the largest shopping centre in Adelaide, Westfield Marion, and the main campus of Flinders University, and until 2008 also housed the Tonsley Park Mitsubishi plant. At the 2006 census, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that the median income for Boothby was slightly above average for both Adelaide and the state, while Boothby's median SEIFA index of advantage-disadvantage for the 2006 census was between 1000 and 1025 (56th decile). The median age was 42 compared to 38 across Adelaide."" I provide this only as an example, if you want it and the sources that go with it, let me know. That sort of reportage is factual, neutral, sourceable and covers a few bases without a need to resort to vague terms or WP:OR explanations. " | toxic | en |

Well, the languages are similar as Portugese and Spanish, I hope you've noticed the differences between this languages. But to say that a language is intensiosly developed just for ""so"", it is wrong. every language developes spontaniously by its speakers, as the way of thinking changes so and the voice form, here are some examples: the word Macedonian:вреден (vreden) in macedonian means a person who is working hard in the positive sence, or something which we can make some use of, but inBulgarian:вреден (vreden) it hase the opposite meaning than the macedonian, literaly it means ofending'.- " | toxic | en |

As well as checking whether people have clicked on the right button can someone not check when vandals are supporting only one version of events when clearly there is more than one fully published and referenced.

:::Regardless what Zleitzen wants to think or believe but his statement above that reads ""Scott reacted badly and issued all kinds of uncivil responses himself"" is untrue. The only thing I did was email Adam Carr after I consulted my lawyer and pointed all the places on wikipedia where he slandered and attacked my German heritage and that prompted the email that Adam posted on wikipedia. That is exactly what the policy say's here to do. How am I suppose to follow a policy only to find myself blocked for following it? Adam Carr freely admits he posted the email on-wiki in the RfC I had started on him. I even asked the original blocking admin for the proof that I made any legal comments on wiki and not once have I gotten a answer on it. I still ask for it and I am still ignored. Everything that has happened after all this went on is a direct result of the dumb-ass admin here that blocked me in the first place for following the fucking policy to direct any legal issues in email and off-wiki. For so many users and admin here not one person has stepped up to realize that my original block was wrong and should have been removed.

"Kenneth Tennyson's reckless behavior in other forums==
As far as Kenneth Tennyson bashing other authors, here is an exerpt from a book review on Amazon.com:
Founder of the homemade Mushindo Karate movement, never studied under a legitimate teacher, or any martial art teacher, never set foot in Asia, completely disproven, shown to have plagiarized many photos and other materials from other published written sources. Of course he claims to have studied under masters in Tibet, and been a disciple of Okinawan Karate teachers - since disproven by such worthy sources as Gorge Mattson, et al. Was involved in an abusive sex scandal with several female students a few years back (""Sleep with me and I'll enlighten you"" kinda thing), uses abusive and coercive tactics to control what ex-students say at him, a propaganda liemaster.
The person he is bashing is none other than Terrence Dukes (or the real Frank Dukes from the movie Bloodsport)
While putting others down, Kenny brags, or advertises about his martial arts expertise to scare people:
Hmmm... well, kalaripayattu has a lot of similarities with caopera, alot of jumping and posturing, and a lot of religious themes to it. I guess it depends on what martial arts you've trained in to determine whether I can kick A$$ or not. let's see... I'm a red belt second degree in tae kwon do and have some knowledge in shotoken. I've got to start learning about grappling though.
Freedom skies and myself are not the only ones who feel that Kenny is a racist. Here are some excerpts from users from other forums:
(The Armchair Analyst - Asia Times Forum)
I see. However, you sounded like a racist.
No, I have no ""South Asian sensitivities"". I am no nationalist/jingoist. I consider myself above it all.
ALL your posts are based on the rather silly assumption that militaristic power in the last three centuries is a sign of ""greatness"". It may be in a narrow Anglo-saxon way, but not in a Gandhi-Buddha sort of a way. Get it?
Civilizations such as India (actually even China until today) have NEVER had a negative impact on other civilizations that remotely matches yours.
You have generalized Indians to be bigots etc., I agree that SOME not all are. But the fact that you generalized it to include an entire ethnic group as ""obnoxious"", by definition makes you a racist. YES IT DOES!
(rocky - Asia Times Forum)
What inaccuracy are you referring to? If Brits came to India and got rich, was the wealth Indian or British? Besides looting, what exactly did British accomplish? While your bias is clearly visible with this statement, what is your purpose of posting this in this forum?
Isnt it quiet evident that even in yr 2005, it is difficult for you to get off your pompus ass, why on earth would anything written by Anglo-Saxon when Europeans were busy colonizing the world accurate? Isnt there a vested interest on part of the European to disparage Native Cultures and delibrately belittle their achievements?
That's just a couple of the many others. However, I do not want to clog up this page.
I have also noticed that Kenny tends to have a habit of cutting and pasting articles, and also cloning the article he had fabricated on a few web sites I know that I am not the only one who knows this:'(Brahman - Martial Arts Planet Forum)i really do hate to post on this topic seems as it was only to counter mine, which by the way it would be nice if you would simply post this on my topic were you could get a real discusion, were as here people might simply ignore you becuase of the topic cloning.

Sure - discussion in Forbes - rigorous research, that. Especially when
the data in their own list
contradicts them. I continue to look at the list and all the "inherited,

I read it enough times my vision will clear.

I, at on point, looked into Stanford Business School. After learning
that tuition was > 20K,
no financial aid was available, and part-time work was disallowed, this
smart person decided
that I was not willing to spend the $150 application fee
(non-refundable). During attendance at
my local business school, I was told repeatedly I should have gone for
it - to quote a prof, (Northwestern MBA), it
has nothing to do with the education you receive - in general European
(and Canadian) business
schools are better and more innovative - its the connections. He used
the words "American nobility."

Its interesting but in this part of the World (Nova Scotia) a recent
study found that college graduates
earn less than graduates of 2 year community colleges (trade schools).
They did decline to mention
that the demand for some trades is so great that some of
them are demanding university degrees to get in. Just for the record -
the average salary for
a university graduate (including advanced degree holders) here is C$
21,000 -- < $14,000 US. No wonder
half of San Francisco has set up here - we have a whole whack of call
centers that
have arrived here in the last couple of years - I think they hire some
entry level IT people for around $10 ($6 US) an
hour, which of course, fits perfectly for me - my entry level job, in
1986, paid $11.00 an hour. The fundamental difference
is that most of the jobs that require a trade are *unionized*.In other
words, in this part of the world, for the vast majority of people,
union dues are a better investment than tuition. The counter-argument
to this is that many college graduates
leave for better work elsewhere, but the counter-counter argument is
that we are the thin edge
(one of several really - prison labor in the US would be another) of
third-world wages and work practices coming
to North America.
I worked at a company that had a 14-year wage freeze. The fact that they
could maintain that (and prosper) just says
volumes about the economy in this part of the world. I met many people
there, like me, who felt that was fine, I can vote
with my feet. They didn't quite realize that just about every large
employer in the area has similar, or worse, policies. Anyway
eventually they started a union drive. During the vote, retired
employees were brought in by the employer (rumours were
that they were paid the going rate for a vote around here - a bottle of
rum) and somehow allowed to vote . The union filed
a grievance - which was denied - by a Minister of Labour, who, hey,
guess what - used to be a VP at the company.
That's free labor markets at work. The business continues to prosper -
as I was told when I was there - it is a cash cow as long
as the JOA (Joint Operating Agreement) with the competing paper is in
place.
And if you think that any of those wonderful American companies, out of
some free-enterprise belief in competing for the best talent,
are going to do anything about that, sorry, most of them received
generous subsidies, in return, I'm sure, for an understanding about
the labor markets here.

Much as I like to accept what you say - I do believe in free markets , I
have difficulty finding any - except of course for
labor markets, which governments go to great lengths to protect (well
unless the supply is tight)
It was a great run with the technology industry - producing most of the
self-made billionaires on
the list, but now we've got a government-sponsored monopoly, and the
concept of "more stuff, cheaper"
which it has always promised - seems to be disappearing. A particularly
galling example is
high-speed internet access. An article I read a couple of years ago that
it is an area where the pricing
approaches of the IT industry (cheaper, better or you die) and the
telecom industry (maintain your
monopoly through regulation, and get guaranteed price increases through
the same regulators) meet.
Sadly to say, the telecom industry seems to have won. The whole
entertainment industry/RIAA/Palladium thing
seems to be another instance where actually giving value to the customer
seems less important than using
regulation to reduce competition and substitute products in order to
produce profits for the favored few.

I usually agree - but when there's a Republican in office - I feel like
they're the biggest believers in
the Manifesto, in reverse. Create a reserve pool of labor, reduce the
rights of that "proletariat" you've
just created with bogus "law and order" policies , concentrate capital
in the hands of a few (ideally people
who can get you reelected) and the economy will take care of itself. Oh,
and lie - use
the word "compassionate" a lot. I guess I tend to believe that a certain
amount of poverty reduction actually
helps a modern capitalist state - the basic economic tenet of the
Republic party seems to be the more homeless under
each overpass, the more efficient the rest of us will be.
And the facts are, for most people in the Western world are declining
standards of living, declining benefits, disappearing social safety net,
greater working hours, essentially since the entrance of women into the
work force (not blaming women in any way, they have a right
to work but its now 2 wage-earners in each family and still declining
standards of living) is the reality.
Again to quote that wonderfully liberal document I keep coming back to -
the CIA world factbook - on the US economy:
"Since 1975, practically all the gains in household income have gone to
the top 20% of households"

possible rtp conference
dear mr . kaminski :
thank you for talking with me about a possible rtp conference . i would
like to include some discussions of what has been learned in other industries .
as i indicated , frank wolak suggested that i contact you . in discussing
power markets with frank and other colleagues at stanford and epri , it
seems quite evident that real - time pricing for retail customers is the
" forgotten resource " in more efficient power markets . there seems to be a
lot of confusion about what rtp means and it also seems that many
researchers need to address some practical but important problems . i was
asked whether a group like stanford ' s emf might explore this topic and give
it the visibility that would have it considered more seriously by
policymakers .
frank thought that you might be someone who could help me structure a
useful approach and who might also see whether enron could become a major
sponsor . i was hoping that this issue was sufficiently important to enron
that the company might consider providing $ 25 , 000 . as you may appreciate ,
it requires some thought and effort to make sure that the product of the
conference is widely circulated among key government groups .
i would be very interested in hearing from you if you can provide ideas and
recommendations for people ( perhaps yourself or a colleague ) to
participate . i would also appreciate any consideration by enron of
providing funding for this effort .
thank you ,

Unfortunately, you really don't seem to be grasping what edit warring actually is. I suggest you read the article and description on WP's article on edit warring to get a clear picture of what it is and what it isn't. Editing an article 27 times over the period of a couple of days is not edit warring. It's just editing. Continually reverting and leaving unproductive remarks in the edit summary is edit warring. Of the two examples I just gave, you have been doing the latter - ergo, you have been edit warring. And please - stop commenting on editors, and keep your comments focused on edits and content. Commenting on editors is not productive, commenting on content and edits is. | toxic | en |

Ah! The hypocrisy is absolutely amazing. Just so your wondering Bozo, I didn't even care about the Redboy article in itself. I cared about Schuminwebs unbelievable callousness, lack of good faith and down right rudeness in dealing with me. He says on his userpage that he is an inclusionist, yet he does this. The article at the time had a hangon tag - he deleted it before even giving me a chance to type into the talk page my defense of the article.
His problem is a very vague understanding of notability. Redboy has an oceon of literature surrounding it, it has even been linked to the childhood bogeyman. However, I didn't get a chance to defend this aspect in the article, because he deleted it before I got the chance, and then had the cheek to accuse me of vandalism!
What has happened since is that he has ignored every compaint I brought to him. So, I decided to focus on his round exterior.
