Hi Pterantula,
The encyclopedia entry requires attributions and references. For example, the studies of the ""effects of Landmark Education"" is from the third-party surveys. If, instead, the encyclopedia entry were to have customer testimonials instead, they could be struck on grounds they are not verifiable. (We've gone around in circles on that many times as well.)
As well, the 20 points of critique are all against Landmark Education (with rebuttals in many cases).
As for litigation, I am aware of five outbound cases:
Pre-emptive warning
1) Traci Hukill ""The Est of Friends"" (1998, pre-emptive warning, no suit filed)
Actual litigation, outbound
Elle Magazine (1998, LE achieved no result)
Cynthia Kisser (1997, LE won retraction)
Margaret Singer (1997, LE won retraction)
Rick Ross (2005, LE cancelled suit for product disparagement)
There are about three inbound cases (against LE):
Stefanie Ney (court ruled in LE's favor)
Been versus Weed (2002; 10 claims, 3 settled, 7 dropped; LE was a cross-defendent)
Tracy Neff (1997, sexual harrassment, settled out of court; LE lacked a ""sexual harrassment"" policy at the time and got pulled in on this)
Does anyone have anything more than this from LE's inception in 1991 (14 years ago)? Litigation regarding ""est"" should be on the ""est"" page. For a company with $70 million in revenue and over 800,000 customers of the Landmark Forum, this is a tiny amount of litigation.

YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES
You either remove your personal view or I will make a new document and paste over this. Remove all references to the asian tribune because if you do not, I will paste all references from tamilnet and tamilcanadian and BBC phrases. I am being fair to you, your clearly a Sinhalese bigot, so please learn to respect the truth for once. This should be an article of Lakshman Kadirgamar and his achievments, you can mention the assasination, but to span blame on the LTTE is as far as I am concerned rascist against the Tamil community. If you truly want a unified Sri-Lanka then try to write the article fairly without targetting the LTTE or lest, I'll have to start mentioning the attrocities of the Sinhalese here. | 0 |

Height of One Madison Park and Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower
The quote ""At 617 feet (188 m) it is slightly taller than the landmarked 614 feet (187 m) Met Life Tower across the street and dominates the skyline looking south from the park"" seems to be incorrect. The wiki page for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower and the emporis page state its height at 700 feet. This would also be consistent with it being the world's tallest at the time it was built in 1909. Does anyone have further official height of the Met Life Tower?" | 0 |

Pass/Fail:
This article seems to have improved from its first review significantly. Most problems are resolved, such as the sub-par prose, which is now very well readable. Some comments on the issues raised in the first review:
the period dealt with spans approximately mid-2013 to September 2014. This is an indication it may not meet criterion 3a. - As far as I can see, there is not a lot more to say about this young lady so far. While taking in interest in people who are famous because of their parents and because of who they date eludes me, it is no reason to fail criterion 3a.
Daily Mail may not be a reliable source - There are a couple of references here that could be argued do not come from what is usually considered reliable. However, it is accepted in ""tabloid"" topics to include ""tabloid"" sources. Otherwise, Wikipedia would only consist of articles on people The Guardian writes about. Yawn!
However, these things should be adressed:
Nowhere does it actually state that Wright and Penn are famous actors. That is however necessary, because otherwise one might easily ask why this person deserves a Wikipedia article in the first place.
The archive links in the references are inconsistent. The style you should use is the one in reference #1 (Link to original page, publiser, archived from and then ""the original"" as the link). This can easily be achieved by using the cite web template.
However the first reference is not a good example alltogether, since it makes no sense that the page is from July 28, 2014 and it is stated that it was retrieved on July 19th. Please look into this.
You might wanna find a better source for the Elvis and Nixon film. Maybe this one even though it is certainly not perfect as well.

Translating Reich is problematic. The word designates a state (or group of states under one rule). If ruled by an emperor (Kaiser), it is an empire (Kaiserreich), if ruled by a king (König), it is a kingdom (Königreich). Reich cannot easily be translated when it refers to a territory that is ruled by neither an emperor nor a king; so the word has been adopted in English as a loan word. Cf. The Chambers Dictionary: ""Reich: the German state; Germany as an empire (the First Reich) . . . and Third Reich as a dictatorship under the Nazi regime . . .) " | 0 |

McClintock effect
When adding to articles, I will sometimes paste text from one or more sources into the edit window and then rearrange and paraphrase before saving. I apologize for missing those two sentences that you expressed concern over. Thank you for catching them. I also really liked your copyedits to the intro.
My reason for relying on the Straight Dope article rather than the primary sources he cites is well explained at WP:MEDRS: In general, Wikipedia's medical articles should use published reliable secondary sources whenever possible. Reliable primary sources may be used only with great care, because it's easy to misuse them. For that reason, edits that rely on primary sources should only make descriptive claims that can be checked by anyone without specialist knowledge. Any interpretation of primary source material requires a secondary source.
I am well acquainted with searching PubMed - see for example the article I wrote early pregnancy factor. Also notice I added the citation for PMID 1287678 to the McClintock effect article. It's not unfamiliarity with these tools that guided my addition to the article, it's a high regard for the knowledge and research done by the Straight Dope staff and a desire to use reliable secondary sources whenever they are available.

Hi Ariel
Thanks for adding some references to the content for Toni Pearen's article. You're doing the right thing. I'de like to add some stuff about her recent engagement and move to Scotland Island, but it will get scrubbed immediately as it always does. I'm sure that if you do some quick research on her you will find some references that will confirm both events. Maybe you could have a crack at it while you're working on the article? | 0 |

I agree with you that Mansfield probably wouldn't object to the label. He's willing to write a book about manliness, after all! ) But I don't think I'm being oversensitive. I've seen a concerted effort by numerous editors on the Wikipedia to stigmatize various Bush administration officials, and it often involves linking together Leo Strauss, neoconservatism, and the War in Iraq. At one time, I thought the Wikipedia guideline on biographies of living persons required that the subject of articles ""publicly identify with the belief in question"" (at least I thought it did although I can't find the relevant passage now) and I assumed that's why the comment in the article said ""Mansfield has self identified as a Straussian."" So when I downloaded the interview and it turned out that it did not substantiate the claim, I changed the language without changing the substance. There are so many conspiracy theories out there about Leo Strauss and the War in Iraq (see G-hits for the search terms [""Leo Strauss"" War Iraq]) that I tend to be vigilant with notable students of Leo Strauss, since the word ""Straussian"" has been highjacked by critics and used pejoritively. Is there a reason you feel strongly about using the word ""Straussian""? I don't think being a Straussian is anything to be ashamed of, but I don't like to see the Wikipedia being used for POV pushing by people who misunderstand Strauss. Thank you for the civil reply.

Request for reconsideration: Deletion of Bullshido.net entry
Requesting you re-examine the arguments in [], as per WP:DRV.
Your summary of my argument is factually false. My argument was that the addition of four [more [reliable sources should carry weight. The statement that the Real Fighter article was not neutral based upon some colorful language suggests your inexperience with publications about mixed martial arts. Also, you gave us no time whatever to contact Sean Treanor and learn more from him; in any case, an article hosted on Stanford's Graduate Program in Journalism webpage, and not on a student's personal website within stanford.edu, could hardly have failed to undergo peer review or professorial supervision.
Furthermore, regarding the Real Fighter article, , the President of the American Sambo Association, took time out of his day to inform the discussion about how the article got produced:
My name is Stephen Koepfer and I wrote the original Bullshido article/investigation on Geraci. I wanted to share my account regarding how the RF acticle came into being, since my name has come up here. Sacha Feinman, a noted journalist http://www.linkedin.com/pub/sacha-feinman/17/400/976 contacted me about writing an article about Geraci. He was, as any good journalist would be, concerned with not simply regurgitating our investigation. However, reading my article, he felt it was well written, ivestigated, etc. He felt it would be a good springboard for further investigation. So, I provided all my sources to Feinman. He vetted the entire Bullshido piece, found it to be verifiable, and continued to investigate the case in further directions which Bullshido had not covered. As Feinman noted himself it was the Bullshido article which formed the basis for his own further investigation. Feinman and I did not collaborate on his article, other than my making introductions to sources and the subject, Geraci. Feinman was not paid by Bullshido, nor is he even a member of the site. He came to us because of our notability. I fail to see how the RF article, regardless of how much or little it sepcifically mentions Bullshido in print, could not be considered a notable reference for Bullshido. Our ivnestigation served as the springboard for his, he came to us because of our notability, he personally stated this as such, and the subject of the investigation itself (Geraci) is quoted in the RF article as saying the Bullshido investigation was accurate.
This addresses both the neutrality and the reliability issues, and you didn't mention it in your summary. Nor did you mention Carol Kaur's well-reasoned argument, which contained novel points to which no one had a reasonable answer.
The only policies on which you seemed to be amenable to a flexible reading were those involving the definition of consensus. If Bullshido's similarity to an epithet is no grounds for considering its lack of coverage in a different light, neither are the repeated calls for deletion a basis on which to go with an impossibly loose definition of consensus.
I respectfully submit that your summary of consensus was factually wrong on several points, and ask you to reconsider. | 0 |

Thanks! Your copyedits are much appreciated, as is the advice. To reply to your points:
I was afraid that the section about his books rambled a bit, although I want to make sure to keep enough of it in. Especially in Szigeti on the Violin, he reveals a lot about his personal philosophy of music and violin playing, which (in my opinion)is very important for his biography. That said, I will try trimming it down.
Yes, he was indeed married to the same woman for all those years, and as far as I can tell their marriage was a very happy and harmonious one. There are some nice vignettes of their life together in his autobiography, maybe I'll try to work in a few mentions of domestic life somewhere.
I had a good laugh at your remark about how I should get academic credit for this, especially because just a few days ago, my obnoxious Music History professor bellowed ""Don't ever look up anything on Wikipedia if you expect to stay in this class! WIKIPEDIA SUCKS ROCKS!!"" after which everyone burst out laughing and I sat fuming. )

Sorry to take so long in replying, I've only had a small amount of WP time the last few days. I see the point you are making, on the other hand it seems useful to say something about General Haftar's character given such a reputable source says something about it after consulting 20-odd people - which given FT's reputation you would think is a balanced representation of his contacts, but they do not say who they were. I agree the FT quote ""wasn’t well informed in politics"" is very surprising given his position. I'm happy with you removing this, and will ponder if there is a better way to give the info. FT registration is no-cost for a few articles a month, but here is a wider quote of what they said:
Even supporters acknowledge his political ambitions, suspecting he plans to anoint himself leader of the country’s liberals. The armed forces he now purports to lead are successors to the Gaddafi-era military he repeatedly turned against; the Islamist militias he is fighting are the ones with which he fought in the 2011 uprising. Many wonder whether he is a committed democrat, as he claims, or just another Arab military officer with dictatorial ambitions, in the mould of Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser, Syria’s Hafez Assad and Gaddafi.You need someone tough like Haftar to step up to the outlaws,” says the commentator Abdel Hamid el-Jadi. “He has experience in the Libyan military and he knows the tribes. If he has political ambitions we’ll deal with that in the second stage.”
But others worry about what they describe as a brittle personality and myopic worldview. Of nearly two- dozen people who have had dealings with him and spoke to the Financial Times, none could identify any of his interests outside war. In meetings with exiled opposition groups in the US and Africa, before he returned to serve as the rebel army’s chief of staff in the 2011 uprising, he spoke only of his military expertise. “He wasn’t well informed in politics, relationships between countries or cultures,” said one Gaddafi-era opposition activist.Many Libyans and international experts fear the offensive that Mr Haftar is co-ordinating could further destabilise the country. In televised appearances, he has a habit of conflating the Islamist militias with members of parliament and the government who belong to the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood, and with al-Qaeda.''

Some of the things I wanted to conribute
Articles I was working on contributing before getting pulled into the theological debates on Wiki.
George L Kline (the Alfred North Whitehead scholar) he is mentioned in the Metaphysical Society of America here on Wiki and I would like to link an article from there to start a BIO on him. Here are some links about him and how he has contributed to the Eurasia debate., , , , ,
Kline is a scholar on the subject of Russian philosophy and religion and since my conflict here has been on where Eastern Orthodoxy conflicts with Roman Catholicism there is no such content in these works of any great amount and I can avoid all that while adding this important and rare information here at Wiki as it should all be common knowledge but has no free source to become common knowledge before now. This information is in light of Eurasianism. Which considering what is happening in Crimea right now is a subject I will need to avoid.

Raymond arritt
This is not an accident
Some of the sections/articles on Kambojas, as being edited and altered by Debachmann, are getting utterly confusing and more messier, and, I'm afraid, may lead to erroneous conclusions by the readers. As he has started editing/altering them en mass, either he should improve the articles by editing them suitably so as to keep them clear, logical and readable and at the same time, also maintain/keep intact their integrity and factuality (let's us if he can do it), or else, I will have no alternative except to revert them back to their original versions. For example, the article Language and ethnicity of Kambojas, in its current form which he has edited, is utterly terrible. I don't think he and other editors on kamboj articles of his kind are quite familiar with the Kamboj history, so as to render them a justice. Further, please make a note that, none of the information, in any of articles on the Kambojas, is a original-research as Mr Debachmann continues to allege. All the Kamboj information is in the books and only he and other people of his ilk may not be aware of it. I have sent this note to him not with any intention to enter into a futile argument with him, but simply to let him know that all the information on the Kambojas..ancient/mediaval or modern, as inserted in any Kamboj related article here, is well-documented and has been taken from reliable references/sources from notable scholars.

Walid Khalidi's editorial is entirely pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel. The only reliable data coming out of Khalidi is his enumeration of towns once occupied by Arabs, but which were later forced to evacuate. He does not go into the ramifications or reasons why this was deemed necessary at the time. Everything written by me above can be supported by facts and Israeli documents.

Drmies, come on. You guys just got blocked (and unblocked) for going at each other. Is it really necessary to keep poking? You both think you were justified, you both think the other wasn't, lets just let this die before it flares up again for round two.
Fluffernutter, I don't think this needs mediation, thanks. Scotty is a big boy and so am I. We disagree over something, and we could have handled that very well, I suppose, until someone came in between and started throwing blocks about. Scotty, I'm sorry for what I said: you hurt my feelings and I let it be known. I'm not going to come back here since I don't want to bother you; you can always drop me a line on my talk page and you're welcome to leave a TB template as well, pace DNTR. Take it easy,
Taking occasional breaks is healthy and encouraged. Just don't be a fucking diva about it, please. Editors have placed trust in you to be a reliable bot operator and tool maker.
Suggestion: replace that second sentence with ""But remember, "" for intended effect and best results.
Believe me Scotty I know how you feel. I fell into the same trap this time last year for a much less and never recovered and I know you are familiar with that whole kerfuffle. I have gotten to the point now where I rarely edit article here anymore. The only difference is that I wasn't an admin. I hope you don't completely give up on this place like I did! I'm also glad someone had the good sense to undo the block.
Some stroopwafels for you!

Your tools
I don't know what's going on here or who is right or wrong, but deactivating your tools? Is that really necessary? Do you really hate us that much? I find the editor interaction analyser a vital tool for checking for socks, for instance. I hope you will consider either reactivating at least some of these or a way to pass them over to someone else. NEWLIN | 0 |

An arbitration case regarding of Manipulation BLPs has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following is a summary of the remedies enacted:
Editors who edit biographies of living persons and other articles referring to living persons are reminded that all editing of these articles must comply with the biographies of living persons policy and with the principles set forth in this decision;
Administrators and other experienced editors are urged to take a proactive approach in addressing violations and alleged violations of the BLP policy, and to watchlist the BLP noticeboard and participate in discussing and resolving issues raised on that noticeboard;
To the extent that parties to this case have been engaged in protracted disputes and quarrels with other parties, the feuding parties are urged to avoid any unnecessary interactions with each other, except to the extent necessary for legitimate purposes such as dispute resolution;
If disputes concerning editing of biographical articles by parties to this case persist, appropriate dispute resolution methods should be pursued. To the extent possible, such dispute resolution should be led and addressed by editors who have not previously been involved in the disputes. If a specific serious dispute persists and other means of dispute resolution do not resolve them, a new and specifically focused request for arbitration may be filed not less than 30 days from the date of this decision.
For the Arbitration Committee, | 0 |
Maybe people are not prepared to accept the whitewash that the wiki admins and OTRS people are trying to impose. Why not have a discussion about what exactly is allowed on the page? When a subject is quite happy to give interviews to the national press discussing their life for publicity they can't then demand complete privacy. (82.132.238.244 ) | 0 |

What about the Hillman Minx?
I don't see ""Minx"" as an adjective. It's a noun. Using it to describe a cat seems redundant (""she's a minx"" means something like ""she's catty,"" I thought ""a minx"" is some sort of fighting feline).
The Hillman Minx car, in the 1950's, was a very small automobile (smaller than a Volkswagen beetle) its name probably meant to suggest that it was sprightly and energetic despite its tiny size and low power (I only know of it that our family owned two of them a grey one with yellow ear-flaps, and later a red one the Minx could not go fast, so its driver had to outwit other cars rather than overtaking them...).
Perhaps the minx relies more on wit and slyness than on physical strength? " | 0 |

Deletion forest fire
Hi there! I was awikiway for a couple days and when I come back I noticed over a dozen pages debating the faults of the deletion process, including two RFCs, deletion of its main page, and scores of proposals of widely varying usefulness. Sounds like a forestfire to me. Should we do something to get all discussion back to a single page, because as it stands now it only serves to aggravate people. adiant_>|< 08:30, August 3, 2005 (UTC)" | 0 |

I dismiss your RfC
I dismiss your RfC as nothing but harassment pure and simple. Why do you hate religion? Am I not allowed to edit on Wikipedia because I am not a radical secularist? I point out that your stereotypes about Evangelicals don't apply to everyone, and what do you do, you remove it? Am I supposed to stop being an Orthodox Catholic to edit Wikipedia? Or do you have to be a committed atheist to be ""credible""? It seems that you aren't interested in discussing the issues from an uninvolved third-person perspective, but instead it seems you use Wikipedia to grind an axe against Christianity.
How can you say that the crop of articles your work on are neutral, when there are many inaccuracies and stereotypes, etc. about politically active Christians found within?
Christian Reconstructionism is an outgrowth of Calvinist theology, plain an simple. How can you say that I am POV pushing
Does NPOV equal secular Leftism? The Dominionism article is heavily slanted to the Left politically, and I haven't violated any rules by posting a POV tag there. Much of what I have read form people such as Yurica, Bokaer, etc., is nothing but guilt by association.
The edit warring has come from your side from the beginning. Chip Berlet is a political operative who isn't schooled in theology, and his observations paint with a broad brush, lacking historical insights into Christian views on Church and State. This isn't a personal attack. There shouldn't be a pro- or an anti-Dominionist bias. Your stated commitment to paint ""Dominionism"" as a threat is hardly NPOV.

I need an advocate and help with mediation
Greetings,
I need an advocate who will walk me through the mediation process.
I am trying to get the following added to the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. Max Tegark is a renown physicist and a PhD profressor of cosmology at MIT. He agrees with my addition.
I am having problem with an editor by the name of Lethe who follows me around Wikipedia reverting all my edits without commentary.
I have tried reasoning with him on discussion pages, but he refuses to read what I write.
Advantages of MWI
If Hugh Everett's theory was just another interpretation of Quantum Mechanics it would have no followers, especially since it proposes the existence of countless other universes which theoretically can never be observed. Because it is not falsifiable it seemingly violates Popper's criteria for a good scientific theory. The reason it has so many adherents is because it offers numerous advantages over the Copenhagen Interpretation, among which are the following:
1. Quantum mechanics becomes a deterministic theory making it more compatible with the theory of relativity and all other physics theory to date which are all deterministic. The Copenhagen Interpretation introduced indeterminacy and randomness into science. Aside from the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics there is no scientific theory that includes indeterminacy or randomness. Einstein particularly objected to this aspect of the Copenhagen Interpretation. In response to it, he said, ""God does not play dice with the universe.""
2. It eliminates the ""measurement problem.""
3. It eliminates Von Neumann's ""boundary problem"": where to draw the line between the micro world where quantum mechanics applies, and the macro world where it does not. Shortly before his death in 1953, Albert Einstein wrote: ""Like the moon has a definite position whether or not we look at the moon, the same must also hold for the atomic objects, as there is no sharp distinction possible between these and macroscopic objects.""
4. It eliminates the special place for an observer and human consciousness.
5. It restores objective reality of the universe between measurements. Shortly before his death, Albert Einstein also wrote: ""Observation cannot CREATE an element of reality like a position, there must be something contained in the complete description of physical reality which corresponds to the possibility of observing a position, already before the observation has been actually made.""
6. The wave-particle duality paradox evaporates. It simply and naturally explains the double-slit experiment. Richard Feynman said, ""[the double-slit experiment] has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality it contains the only mystery."" David Deutcsh wrote: "". . . the argument for the many worlds was won with the double-slit experiment.""
7. Schrodinger's Cat paradox evaporates.
It seems Einstein's main objections with quantum mechanics had more to do with the Copenhagen Interpretation, than with quantum mechanics itself. While MWI does not quite generate the kinds of worlds necessary to justify the anthropic principle, it is a step on the way to Stephen Hawking's No Boundary Proposal and Max Tegmark's All Universe Hypothesis which do justify the anthropic principle.

Alexander Mauskop Wikipedia Entry
Hi Stacey,
I am writing in regards to the Alexander Mauskop, MD Wikipedia page. After submitting the entry, I received many warnings. I edited the page as requested, however, the warning tags remain on the page. I've read many instructions to improve this entry, but trying to figure out what to do next.
Can you please take a look at the page again and give me suggestions for improvement? Also, do you know why the picture is not appearing on the page? I will make all changes as necessary. Thank you so much in advance, I greatly appreciate the help and feedback!
Best,

I know you are writing these things in good faith, Yop, but your claim that Warren's skin or hair color calls into question her claim to Native ancestry is offensive. On that logic, the racial identity of everyone who identifies as racially mixed but 'looks white' should be questioned. The difference between Warren and 'white-looking' mixed people such as Mariah Carey and Rashida Jones is that the latter have actual, identifiable parents or grandparents who are racial minorities (African American). On the other hand, all of Warren's ancestors are white. That is why she was and is criticized for this: She said she was a ""minority"" when her whole familyincluding distant ancestorsis lily-white. Finally, it is preposterous to suggest that Warren 'looks minority' in the picture you wish to insert in the article. She looks completely white in all pictures. While some people who look white are multiracial, in her case, she looks white because she is fully white. " | 0 |

Canadian charts are not the same as Billboard charts
The Canadian Singles Chart is based on CD single sales and nothing more. The Canadian BDS Airplay Chart is a very well-known chart because it's one of the only radio charts that does not use ""recurrent play"" to remove songs, which means that ""Promiscuous"" could re-enter in ten years' time. I'm surprised that Canadian charts are being treated exactly like Billboard charts, but they are very different; for example, the Canadian Dance Chart is not as well known as the airplay chart, but it's still in the article. This is likely because it's being used in the same way, but that's not right. Here it was claimed that non-Canadians should not include the airplay chart if their single did enter the Canadian Singles Chart. However, because it's clearly notable (and because Furtado is Canadian), it's use here is appropriate. " | 0 |

Deletion
User GogoDodo deleted an article I created ostensibly under notability guidelines with no debate or any chance for me to respond to his allegation. Notability guidelines as I understand them are loose enough that in the case of the article that was deleted, the bare minimum of politeness would have necessitated some period of debate or discussion as to determine notability. His ""contribution"" was certainly not constructive and yet no one is affixing warnings to his talk page. This is a great way to drive new editors away and to restrict Wikipedia into the oligarchical domain of a nerd elite." | 0 |
