Carlin Romano edits by cinacina123

I'm not sure I'm doing this properly. Would you take a look at the recent edits to the Carlin Romano page? They seem to be made by someone promoting publicity. There are many deletions of sources that refer to controversies that define the importance of the subject and inclusion of only positive p.r. And they are done by someone with a single purpose and only on this page. Thank you. Philebritite (talk) 02:20, 12 June 2012 (UTC) (2) Thank you for your contribution; indeed you did come up with a compromise. I followed your lead and integrated all relevant material externally sourced as in-line citations. Cinacina123, however, is now using another sockpuppet (Ecoscrimps) to revert all substantive changes and remove all non-p.r. material. Again, it is single-purpose, single-subject, continuous with the previous actions of Cinacina123. This is one strongly determined person behind these edits. I don't know how to produce balanced coverage of the subject and his controversies under these conditions. Could you take another look, please? Philebritite (talk) 21:35, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if you're interested, but Ecoshrimp, who I suspect is behind the sockpuppets/meatpuppets I suspect, send me a message which I think I'm supposed to interpret as a threat of legal action, similar to what Aennie and Encycedit did and were warned about. Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Philebritite&redirect=no In any case, the flurry of edits seems to have subsided somewhat.Philebritite (talk) 19:28, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Carlin Romano edits by Philebritite

Hi, thank you so much for your attention in the entry "Carlin Romano". Could you take another look at that entry. This nametag "Philebritite" keep deleting the information which is verified and with reference. What he defined as puffery is not necessarily defined by else. He holds hatred toward Carlin Romano and keep adding what he think is negative information to Mr. Romano. That is Okay if it is supported by solid evidence, and I can understand. What I cannot understand is why he uses double-standard to say that other nametags' editing (with reference) is "wordy puffery".

Philebritite's long-time destructive activities

Philebritite keep deleting facts with reference in the Carlin Romano entry (cur | prev) 16:55, 21 June 2012‎ Philebritite(talk | contribs)‎ m (12,120 bytes) (-17)‎ (→‎Career: correct the details of a reference so it does not go beyond the stated facts) (undo)).

Could you please take a look at history of all his destructive behavior in the Carlin Romano entry since 2009? All that he did only makes the entry unbalanced. It is not fair that you let him keep his crazy editing moves. His intention of putting what he think negative information to make the subject look bad is so obvious, he only add negative information and delete all positive information even with fact.

It is weird that Philebritite put minor controversies such as Philip Roth as the major content of this entry, and you encourage him to do so, which making the subject always rouse controversies, which is not true. You can enter"carlin romano " in the search bar, and you will see a lot of sentences mentioning "Carlin Romano", which cited Mr. Romano's reviewing opinion as the content of an entry. For example, entries of Jeffrey Eugenides,Binnie Kirshenbaum refer to Carlin Romano's opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecoshrimps (talk • contribs) 03:19, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Philebritite has a better understanding of Misplaced Pages policy than you do. I'm not even sure what point you are trying to make in this post. OhNoitsJamie 04:06, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Just feel sad about your judgement. So obvious that Philebritite is coming again and again to destroy the entry and to defame Mr. Romano. Some of his previous post in 2009, 2010 even violate Mr. Romano's privacy. I believe Wiki policy does not encourage libel as Philebritite did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecoshrimps (talk • contribs) 13:56, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

We do have a WP:BLP policy that is taken very seriously; that said, I have yet to see anything that Philebritite has added that violates that policy. (Unlike yourself (and the numerous other single-purpose accounts editing the article), Philebritite edits a variety of articles). If you want additional opinions regarding BLP, feel free to post on the BLP noticeboard. OhNoitsJamie 14:03, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

If you check all of Philebritite's history,you'll see 90% of his editing is in Carlin Romano's entry, especially when he first created his account to post false information in Mr. Romano's entry (Luckily, other editors save this entry with great effort, which you can see in the talk page of Carlin Romano's page). Philebritite just edited other articles to shape the impression that he is a objective editor(now he get what he wanted when you agree that he edits a variety of articles, which lead you to your conclusion that this so-call variety will make his editing in Carlin Romano's entry more neutral--strange logic), but his main purpose is still in Mr. Romano's entry. If you do based your judgement on the number of article the two of us is editing, I have nothing to say. Feel sorry and very sad about your judgement. Maybe I should not and will not seek help from you any more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecoshrimps (talk • contribs) 00:43, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Misplaced Pages pages

Dear Author/Ohnoitsjamie

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Misplaced Pages pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Misplaced Pages pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Misplaced Pages and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address recently edited an article on Barrett's Osophagus. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please visit my Talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain (talk) 17:10, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

I need a need a little help

Hi Ohnoisjamie, I don't want to be bothering you about this, but since you reverted the same commercial links I reverted in Henson trust, I was hoping you could help with something. Can you take a look at Registered Disability Savings Plan because to me, the article seems like it's nothing but spam and would like a second opinion before editing as to avoid offending the editor who made all the recent additions. The same editor keeps adding this stuff to several articles, and left me a message earlier today on my talk page trying to argue that the links should be allowed becasue there helpul to people who have children with disabilities. I did my best to try to explain the policy about external links to her, but maybe if a far more experienced edior took a look and edited out the spam, she might understand why her links keeps getting reverted. Like I said above, I don't want to bother you because I know you're busy with other stuff, so if it wasn't appropriate for me to ask this of you, I appologize. Cmr08 (talk) 05:55, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

23andMe

Hi,

I don't know if I'd consider this source as spam. I struggled a bit with whether it should be included, but it does verify some text that is now without a source. Moment does seem to be a legitimate source, and the information, though slightly self-serving, does seem valid (noting for instance that 23andMe isn't solely doing free Parkinson's screenings out of pure selflessness but rather because of a family connection between one of the co-founders and the disease). Is there something I'm missing? Because right now I'm leaning towards replacing the citation. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/_complex 15:49, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I deleted it based on the editor, an SPA spamming two magazines (I had a similar issue recently with a different SPA spamming the same magazine). Had an editor without an obvious COI added it, I would not have objected. OhNoitsJamie 15:55, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I've reviewed and integrated it (and I totally see why you would be concerned over it being spam) and I would say it looks OK. Do you have any issue with me replacing it?

Georgia State University Edits

James,

First of all, thank you for service to the world in editing Misplaced Pages. It takes a village... Your efforts no doubt contribute to the growth of Misplaced Pages.

I would like to question you on your reversal of my edits. Several of the persons that you removed can all be quickly googled and found to be either notable in academia or business. I did not do an exhaustive search on all of them, but after verifying two of them I could find no reasoning in your edit and reversed them all.

Case in point, on what reasoning and logic could you possibly remove E. Vachel Pennebaker from the list of notable alumni. A graduate in 1970, a former president of Sears & Roebuck as well as a Georgia State University Board member.

While I am not going to go through the entire list, I will challenge any edit you make at this point, on this page.

Please take a moment to look at the salient facts, consider the standards that we all strive to adhere to on Misplaced Pages when you decide to edit the page again. Make special note that many of the people you have removed meet and exceed the criteria we go by as they are academics.

I sincerely hope that your next edit is done after careful consideration of each of the individuals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fomeister (talk • contribs) 18:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

You just autoblocked my IP address. No hard feelings (you referred to someone else's account, and there are ten thousand people using this IP address), but I was in the middle of an edit to Misplaced Pages: Activist; I wanted to change "It is definitely better for a conflict to be disclosed, than disguised and pursued on the sly" to "It is definitely better for a conflict to be disclosed than to be disguised and pursued on the sly". I had just changed the sentence from its previous form, "It is definitely better for a conflict to be disclosed than disguised, and pursued on the sly", and I'm feeling frustrated at leaving my work half-done (and at not having thought of the better structure before saving).

Edits to Skrillex

Your removal of my edits to the skrillex page leaves me with questions. Have you listened to Skrillex? Do you know what dubstep actually is? Did I not have enough Sources? I dislike it when people try to push music into genres were they don't belong, and i need to fix the mislabeling of skrillex as dubstep by the ignorant population. The quote i supplied is real, does wiki require a more legitimate source despite the quote being exactly the same? Also, the fact that he helped a metalcore band with some programming and vocals does not warrant him a label of metalcore. When it comes to placing music into a genre there are few references that are helpful and most are hurtful. Most Legitimate publications don't care if they correctly label music with a genre, which results in most columnists labeling bands with genres that aren't accurate. Outside of columnists and "professionals" any other reference on the internet is going to be labeled as "an opinion" and deemed unusable in wikipedia, am i correct? I know that trying to label music with a genre is a fool's job, but i can no longer stand by and have skrillex be called dubstep, or breaking benjamin be called alternative metal, or many other bands be mislabeld by the ignorant public. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crimsonokami (talk • contribs) 22:38, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

As stated in my edit summary, you need a reliable source to change a band/musician genre. I don't have person opinions regarding Skrillex, but his genre is widely described as dubstep in numerous reliable sources. this one, for example. OhNoitsJamie 22:46, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Well then I guess "the majority is always correct". Newspapers and publications can be wrong, as they are made of people, and these people don't care for a distinction between dubstep and electronic house. As once the meaning of awful was "filled with awe", it is now "Extremely bad or unpleasant"; and soon dubstep will no longer mean what it once meant, and will change into what people miss-use it for now. I do not hold any grudge against you or wikipedia for demanding "reliable sources" and exclusion of "opinion"; Instead I hold a grudge against the ingorant masses who continue to miss-use words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crimsonokami (talk • contribs) 23:23, 31 July 2012‎

Honestly, as much as I love music, I think waaaay too much energy is spent here debating and edit-warring on genres. In most cases I don't get involved, but had I not reverted your edits to Skrillex someone else surely would've given that he's so strongly associated with dubstep (or brostep) in the press. I'm a big Beck fan, and a good friend of mine considers Beck to be "pop," which by some definitions I'd agree with; that doesn't diminish my appreciation for Beck. I don't care what people call his music. OhNoitsJamie 02:06, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Rule of Three (writing) and copywriting pages

Hi. I understand the sensitivity towards spam and I do believe that you are right to police spam links and have done an enviable task to date.

However, I think the external link for the Rule of Three (writing) page was valid.

The reason: it formed the basis for the information added to the section regarding the rule of three techniques used in copywriting, marketing and advertising.

As this external article forms the basis of the information added (and does not promote any services within the article) I think it unfair to label this link as spam. With that in mind, I would like to reinstate the article as an external source.

Secondly, I think the same argument can be applied to the text added to the Copywriting page, which was:

"As well as possessing a command of language, copywriters must master and apply a broad range of persuasive techniques, such as sales psychology, marketing methods such as AIDA and CAB and other linguistic devices such as the Rule of Three."

I'm not sure why you have deleted this minor addition. I think it is a short and valid point, which touches upon techniques widely used by copywriters, while cross referencing both its sources (internal wikipedia links to the relevant sections on AIDA and Rule of Three (writing)).

I also added the external link to the Rule of Three article as I felt that it was a non-promotional article that covers the technique in more detail.

Please note, there are also links to blogs and articles in the copywriting section which, as with the link that you have deleted, come from organisations that sell copywriting services but are not actually doing so within the link posted.

Copywriting is a commercial pursuit. It is to be expected that copywriting organisations will produce informative articles on the subject, without promoting themselves directly.

I added the external link to the Rule of Three article as I felt that it was a non-promotional article that covers the technique in more detail. Please note, there are also links to blogs and articles in the copywriting section which, as with the link which you have deleted, come from organisations that sell copywriting services but are not actually doing so within the link posted.

I would like to reinstate the links. However, I don't wish to be inflammatory, so would only like to do so with approval and discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scampicat (talk • contribs) 16:40, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

No, per WP:COI and WP:EL. If you see other links that violate those policies, feel free to delete them as well. OhNoitsJamie 16:56, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I read both of these policy documents before I took the trouble to create the wikipedia content.

I honestly don't see how the content or links can be classed as a conflict of interest ( I don't work for the organisation who published the external link which I used as the basis for the content).

Also I'm not sure how the link violates the External link policy.

Please could you illustrate:

1. How the link violates these policies. 2. How the external link contains self-promotional material. 3. How this external link differs from the the two existing external links on the Copywriting page.

I think it slightly unfair to keep the section on 'copywriting, marketing and advertising' on the Rule of Three (writing) page but not link to the article from which it came.

Lexus changes

Hello Ohnotitsjaime,

I would like to say I know Lexus since I'm an enthusiast of the marque. The reason why I removed Toyota as a manufacturer it's simple because it's not "Toyota" the one who is manufacturing. It's true that Lexus cars are built in Toyota manufacturing plants, but they are assembled in different assembling lines, they have their own quality standards and more importantly, the workforce and employees are different. So knowing that I can't say that these vehicles are manufactured by Toyota since not even the workers are from Toyota, they are from Lexus.

And Lexus don't have any more Toyota counterpart (rebadging) vehicle starting from 2005, where the marque was introduced in its own country Japan. The only vehicles which still have something related to Toyota in terms of platform sharing are the LX and GX which aren't even sold globally.

I hope this clarifies why I removed Toyota as manufacturer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asoksevil (talk • contribs) 15:23, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Update: I just realized that you also removed what I wrote about the meanings of the Lexus nomenclature for their models. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asoksevil (talk • contribs) 15:28, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

A Lexus is still ultimately made by Toyota Motor Corporation, just as the Lincoln MKS is made by Ford. I'm a Lexus owner myself, but I'm not going to pretend that it's not a rebadged Toyota Aristo. You are welcome to bring up your points on the talk page for Lexus, but it's not appropriate to make changes like that without a consensus.OhNoitsJamie 15:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Ohnoitsjaime,

If your Lexus vehicle was made prior to 2005 (which is your case since you are talking about a Toyota Aristo either the 1st gen or 2nd gen) then your car is still a Lexus but rebadged as Toyota for some domestic and overseas markets. I understand your point and I will not struggle anymore regarding who is the manufacturer.

I pointed out earlier than other minos updates I added (nomenclature meaning and so as fixing F Sport instead of F-Sport since it's the correct way of spelling) were also removed with no reason. May I add them again?

Thank you for your attention — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asoksevil (talk • contribs) 02:47, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

What are we doing wrong to violate anything by adding our non commercial website to the ostomy pages on wilipedia. We are Non commercial. We accept or contain no advertising - we promote no product or service - we list everyone in the ostomy world for free - we are basiclaly the wikipedia answer to the ostomy world - all we do is send free ostomy puppets to the millions of children in countries all over the world to help them to adjust to life with a bag. Do you wear an ostomy Bag? If not you cannot imagine how difficult it is for children to live life with a bag containine facel or urinary output or both is like. How are we violating content on wilikpaedia. We ahve written books on the subject yes, and they sell but all the royalties are ploughed back into the puppets for kids - When we sed the puoppets out, they go with no commercial advertising materials or commercial information, just the puppet plus its stoma and bag, all of which we make at our expense. Tell me how we are infringing anything?

Good call on removing that section on comic sans. I removed the curse word monologue, actually I wanted to remove the whole thing, as you did,but I was worried a bunch of anti comic sans fans would have a fit. I think it was not notable as well.--98.87.89.184 (talk) 20:38, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protection of Taiwan (again)

Hi, could you please undo your protection of Taiwan? Specifically, I think that it goes against the guideline that pages shouldn't be semi-protected for content disputes if autoconfirmed users are involved (WP:SEMI), and that it gives autoconfirmed editors an unfair edge in controlling the direction of the content. As the current level of disruption is manageable, I'd prefer that persistent IP edit warriors who refuse to discuss their changes be blocked individually, instead of having all IP editors locked out. Thanks. wctaiwan (talk) 08:59, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

(Followup) Actually, I can sort of see where you're coming from, what with dynamic IPs disrupting specific pages. I don't have a good solution, but it does feel like we're favouring the views of registered editors by having the article almost constantly under semi-protection... wctaiwan (talk) 10:46, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't see the dynamic IPs discussing the issue on the talk page. It's been protected many times before for the same reason. I was also under the impression that there is a pretty strong consensus for the current version (correct me if I'm wrong). It's troublesome to see never-ending disputes like this (Troubles, Greek/Macedonian/Turkish, etc). OhNoitsJamie 14:13, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Since this week, I've been meaning to award you this barnstar.

When I or another editor weren't/aren't there, you were/are. So thank you very much for that. And if you have room for one more, it would be greatly appreciated if you would watch over the Sexual intercourse article as well. That is, if you aren't already.

Cramyourspam (talk) 07:35, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Category:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion shows all of the candidates; are you saying it didn't show up there after you tagged it? Looking at the deletion log, it was deleted an hour after you tagged it. OhNoitsJamie 12:40, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

It did show up in Category:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion; I should know: I found it there and deleted it. Placing a {{db}} tag on a page will automatically list it in that category, which is checked fairly regularly. However, it's worth mentioning that the page in question was a long way from being unambiguously promotional (I removed it under A7; the only source was a passing mention in a local paper). Cramyourspam, you may want to consider such tags more carefully - not every page that's about a potentially commercial topic is necessarily WP:SPAM. Yunshui 雲‍水 12:59, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Given that you've only edited two articles, and the warning was regarding adding spam link, I'd say that narrows it down. Hotel/travel links are not appropriate references, period. OhNoitsJamie 13:19, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

I found the answer to my first question, there is a "My Contributions" button at the top that I did not know about - I'm new to trying to contribute to Misplaced Pages, it appears I'm not so good at it! Regarding the edits, both of those links - the first regarding information about the Reserve, and the second regarding public holidays and those in Mozambican cities - are to websites from travel companies but they're also the best references I've ever seen on the net. The reserve article is very well researched and contains information about a place that is hard to research. The second edit, regarding public holidays, I included because I personally searched for a very long time to try to find a place where these dates were publicised. Isn't this information valuable? As it stands the revert back to the old version is actually completely incorrect (ex: Ramadan changes every year, but this article gives an actual month)

Travel sites violate WP:EL, period. OhNoitsJamie 15:13, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

University of North Texas

You are right to urge edit summaries — especially for a university. I am accustomed editing jazz/music oriented articles that few pay attention to. Going forward, I'll be more precise. There are several articles that I have vowed to improve. The North Texas article, in my view, was originally patched together in a way that — like a lot of articles on wikipedia — was sophomoric and said very little about its purpose or significance. Making things worse, the things it DID say (spirit, Greeks, athletics, and the like) was poorly stated. In the next three weeks, I would like to tidy-up the inline citations.

Geek - Mazda 3 annotation

Hi Jamie. Please bear with me. I'm quite confused at the moment. I'm a newcomer to Misplaced Pages & thought I was making a worthwhile contribution to a public article. I read some guidelines encouraging me to make a contribution so I decided to do so in good faith. I didn't have an account but I decided to annotate the Mazda 3 photo because of its inaccurate content. I considered my behaviour to be just as geeky as that of the Mazda 3 owner with Pi displayed, so quite appropriate. I'd thought of a username a few hours later, so I removed my annotation, created a Misplaced Pages account, & reannotated the photo so my username would appear against it. However, my actions were interpreted by the security software as vandalism, so my annotation was automatically removed. I followed instructions to reinstate my annotation & reported the false positive vandalism alert. I'd ticked the minor edit box because I didn't realise what it meant, but now I do. You then removed my annotation because, in your opinion, the Pi error didn't matter so my annotation was unnecessary. I wasn't sure what to do, but somebody else changed the photo annotation from an emphasis of mathematics to humour. I followed suit by annotating the photo again but with the humour lead. I left a detailed explanation & felt quite pleased with my responsible effort. Next thing I know, you've removed my edit & started threatening me. I read some further guidelines which included not biting newcomers. I really don't understand your motivation. Are you very opinionated & insist on getting your own way, or are we simply having a communication issue? The photo has been included for its comedic content, which is subjective & open to opinion. You're in a position to guide me to do things properly or be obstructive & prolong the learning curve. I like to think I have a good social conscience, to the extent that I've emailed somebody at the University of California Irvine, the source of the photo, to try to alert the Mazda 3 owner of the potentially embarrassing error on the car. I'd like to think somebody would do the same sort of thing for me. So, how can I best help you to help me make sense of this situation, so we can all simply enjoy the excellent resource that constitutes Misplaced Pages? Thanks for your time.XYMonozygote (talk) 17:00, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Rodeo Clowns in Clown Article

Can you please explain why you have reverted the clown article to include 'rodeo clowns'. I asked this question in the talk pages but have had no reponse. My reasons for wanting to exclude this section are in the talk pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robynthehode (talk • contribs) 21:39, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

You removed the section without explaining in the edit summary why you were removing it. Furthermore, rodeo clowns aren't completely unrelated from the concept of a clown (wild costumes, etc). There's nothing wrong with including a short section in Clown on them. OhNoitsJamie 12:39, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Wrong usage of term

Hey, remember this revert you did a month ago? The new accounts/IPs were removing that image because it was being used the wrong way. The LOL on heart candies for Valentine's Day most likely means "Lots of Love", not "laugh out loud". I couldn't believe I missed that, but I guess now we know. - M0rphzone (talk) 07:52, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I see your point. It's hard to say for sure what the manufacturer intended it to mean, but I'd lean toward your assessment. Good call removing it. OhNoitsJamie 14:40, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

External links removal

Hello, thanks for your warning. I'm new to Misplaced Pages "edit" and I didn't know I couldn't put link to material I created. But at the same time every single link I put was pertinent to the topic and adding extra informations. Maybe I still don't know how it's working Misplaced Pages, but I wonder how to implement a link by suggesting it in the talk page, if the talk page of the related topic had no activity in the last months or even years, and probably nobody is going to see it. Or even if I'm creating a brand new topic, I guess it would be the same problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phidias81 (talk • contribs) 22:02, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Please read the blurb regarding external links at the top of this page. OhNoitsJamie 22:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your message Jamie. We thought that the reports (e.g Niger and Angola) should be online especially because they are free-to-access independent reports that are sanctioned by government but written independently of them and their content isn't available elsewhere. How would you feel if the government were to put up the links- would this be agreeable? NDD DMA (talk) 11:51, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Natalia

Côte d'Ivoire

I'm not sure why you're changing every mention of Côte d'Ivoire to Ivory Coast, but you might want to read WP:NOTBROKEN before you go any further. To quote from the guideline, "...it is likewise unhelpful to edit visible links for no reason other than to avoid redirects". DoctorKubla (talk) 16:25, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that guideline. Furthermore, now that I see how many instances there are, it's looking like a waste of time anyway. OhNoitsJamie 16:30, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Responded on my talkpage, but to keep this in one place: in addition to NOTBROKEN, there's also the issue of creating problems/inconsistencies at the articles affected (for example, I noticed a lot of changes to alphabetical lists without associated changes to the entry's position in the list). If it were just a matter of redirecting someone could write a bot to do it. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:40, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

I understand the issue of alphabetization, but that only applies to a few of the edits I made; I see no point in undoing all of my edits. Knock yourself out if it makes you feel better. OhNoitsJamie 16:59, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Sure; every once in awhile, there is an intervening edit from a different editor that causes the standard undo/rollback to miss all of the vandalism. Easy to miss! OhNoitsJamie 17:17, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Empty pictures in Wikimedia Commons

Hi Jamie, I encountered something strange that you may be able to remedy. Please look at the commons file "DE CDB 2 1 090.jpg" on http://commons.wikimedia.org/File:DE_CDB_2_1_090.jpg You'll see it's an empty picture with 1 pixel.

There were multiple issues with your edit, including (1) nonstandard capitalization (2) improper use of voice ("we") (3) it was an inferior repeat of the lead sentence and added no substance to the article. OhNoitsJamie 14:00, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

changes

Well aware of guidelines and I think the changes I made are appropriate. The links are to a well known researcher in this are with lots of publications in referred journals. I note you left the other stuff by the IP poster, which is considerably more spammy.Drjames1 (talk) 23:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

A physician's own commercial site constitutes a reliable source. The IP added a link to http://jcadonline.epubxp.com/title/9606, a journal. OhNoitsJamie 23:04, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

This is a relaible source. The site is commercial, but the individual page is not. Well within the guidelines. BTW, the journal cited by the previous poster is basically advertising. Drjames1 (talk) 23:24, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Koro and Peyronie's Disease

I noticed you removed my reference to Peyronie's disease (PD) in the Koro article. I have since read all about WP:Synth, and I think you need to reevaluate how much you know about these two topics before citing that guideline. The two topics are certainly related. By what I say next: please do not think I am not creating original research or advocating a position. I do have a MA and PhD (which have allowed me to deal with people who have this issue) - but that only means I have a different perspective than you, which is the entire point of wikipedia. I could not explain the entire perspective in the character limited box on the edit log of the page.

Regarding the "synth" issue - here is the connection: Patients are sent to psychologists who "think" their penises are shrinking and that they have a "version of penis panic" by primary care physicians. These patients do not know what Peyronie's disease is - and neither do their doctors (it is very rare and hard to diagnose at first). I know this is sounding like "original research" here but there are simply no published papers on the number of medical practitioners who refer patients to psychologists who think their penises are shrinking. Sorry - there just are none and will never be any. There is not a published source for every clinical occurrence out there. Such an expectation is impossible. Thus, clinical experience prevails where empirical research does not exist in medical practice. Besides, I do not need a citation for the Synth at all (per the guidelines). My own experience with these 2 conditions & pure logic make the connection obvious. I still cited published sources that were relevant.

I can't imagine why you would actually think it benefits any wikipedia user to delete my edit under the synth guideline (which is very flexible), either. It does not make the article more organized or clear, as the SYNTH guideline is intended to do. The issue here is that you lack the understanding of WHY these two disorders are significantly related from a clinical perspective...and I have that understanding. If you can't accept that - sorry - but if you have a PhD or MA in psych with a focus on sexual health issues (and I am not creating original research - just bringing another perspective!) then please let me know. Otherwise, you just need to accept when you are unaware of a topic. I didn't spend 5 years running on a hamster wheel of graduate school so I could see patients come into my office with a print out of the very wikipedia article that I tried to correct (which you apparently will not let me) who have Peyronie's Disease (and a lazy primary care physician) and not "Penis Panic" or a psych condition (thus missing the window to have any medical interventions early on). I won't edit anything now because I know you will just revert it again - but I await your reply. I am sure we can mutually agree on an edit that incorporates Peyronie's disease into that article even if you felt the original edit somehow violated the guidelines of wikipedia. Thanks.

I cited the most respected urology journal in the field (The Journal of Urology.) What are you talking about? It's blatantly clear in my edit that you removed. I also cited National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC). BOTH discuss penile shortening as a medical symptom that happens to patients - not a PSYCHIATRIC disease (which Koro is classified as)...and because you didn't understand that - you just deleted what i wrote and put "wiki:synth" (which was also an inaccurate application of the rules). I don't see why wikipedia should be dumbed down just because certain admins (or whatever your are) who have no understanding of medical topics. Why are you trying to enforce rules against putting correct information on here just because you can't understand it? I have no problem with rules, except when ignorant people are enforcing them. Go to medical school or get a PhD in psychology and then come talk to me. You can't enforce rules on topics you haven't studied at all. Sorry - but you can't. Very simpe / common sense...no wikipedia rule necessary.Angelatomato (talk) 01:21, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

I checked your sources; none of them make a connection between Koro and Peryones. Given your attitude, I'm done discussing the matter with you (i.e., any further posts on my talk page by you will be removed).

I didn't think I'd get back to you so soon, but maybe you could check out Vic Fuentes? I'm not sure if it's enough to warrant a semi-protection, but it's suffering from similar vandalism issues as the PTV article. Ivxiimmx (talk) 19:46, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Stephen Aarons Nomination

This article should not be nominated for deletion. The Lawyer in question does in fact meet the criteria for importance in the legal field of the United States. For 1.) Being in the top 100 trial lawyers in the country 2.) Representation of Robert Ray Fry - who will be the last person to die (on death row) in New Mexico, save gaining clemency. 3.) Involvement as legal council in noteworthy cases important to case law in the United States. 4.) High profile nature of the cases. 5.) Hundreds of mentions in the media in the United States.

The extent of my financial interest is to have been "tipped" and by that I mean of all of the articles I have helped people with I have been paid a grand total of $5.00 an article - or $4.00 after Fiverr takes a cut.
