all Hoary links and comments deleted by Wikipedia Administrators, along with page on Sandra Fluke he was edit warring on209.6.69.227 (talk) 16:11, 14 March 2012 (UTC) Attempt to "out" the editor's identity.--209.6.69.227 (talk) 15:38, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
You asked: "Raven; let me get this straight; you are saying that it isn't the policy that needs to be changed, but it is the religious beliefs THEMSELVES that are the problem and need to be changed. Is that correct?" • No; I expressed and intended no such imperative. I was speaking in the declarative voice, of "IS"s not "SHOULD"s. In logical-set terms, look at the set of all health insurance plans, run for colleges/universities, and for employers. Group in one subset those which cover contraception, and in another subset those which don't. Is there any doubt that overwhelmingly the second subset will pertain to colleges/universities and businesses which are owned by religious groups whose beliefs forbid contraception, and that this will be the reason for the policy exclusion? That is why I said, "'Beliefs' against the use of 'contraception' started the whole issue." That's the point of divergence. But my next sentence was: "As long as patients needing medication are at the mercy of what other people (not their physicians) choose to believe or not believe, such problems should be expected." Ah, there's a "should" -- the corollary being that people needing medication shouldn't be at the mercy of others' beliefs (besides their physicians'); patients' Freedom of Religion matters too, especially when their life and health depend on it. And no church's "Freedom of Religion" should extend to taking other people's away, as by withholding patients' medications against their will. But churches (and people) can believe whatever they will. Raven (talk) 21:52, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
OK, so people can have whatever religious beliefs they want, they just can't act on them? The essence of a (in this case) Catholic University is being Catholic. It is run by a Religious Order, that specifically caters itself to a population that wishes to foster Catholic ideals and Catholic values. If you don't value those values, you have other choices. There are two complementary parts of the First Amendment (the 230 year old established way of dealing with conflicting interests), the Establishment clause, which says Government will not compel anyone to join a religion, and the Free Exercise clause, that says Religions are free to believe what they will without Government intervention. We are not arguing that the Catholic University should be able to interfere with what people do outside of the campus, but on whether a Catholic University should be forced by the Government to abandon its Catholic principles.--209.6.69.227 (talk) 02:56, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- "OK, so people can have whatever religious beliefs they want, they just can't act on them?" -- How is this news to you? People can believe, and have in fact believed, that those of other religions than their own are all in service to the Devil, all scheme to destroy the lives and souls of the True Believers, and accordingly all deserve to die... as soon and as horribly as possible. Yes, they are free to have that belief. And no, they are not free to act on that belief by torturing and murdering their designated witch-hunt targets. That's been the state of US law for some time now. Having any wild range of beliefs is perfectly legal; but having those beliefs does not relieve one from obeying secular law. Nor does it entitle one to impose those beliefs upon others, for instance by denying them vital health care. If you have a heart attack while shopping at a store owned by a Christian Scientist, he can't refuse admission to the ambulance paramedics to treat you and take you to hospital, while he stands over you reciting the entire works of Mary Baker Eddy to heal you spiritually. Aren't you glad of that? Raven (talk) 11:12, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Sarah Posner discusses this same point more eloquently, so I commend her post. --Raven (talk) 17:09, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Edit war between Arzel and MelanieN
- I have replied to your comment at my talk page. --MelanieN (talk) 14:40, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Seems to be a legitimate communication problem better relegated there than on the article page.--209.6.69.227 (talk) 15:02, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
the joke
Thanks for adding the whole joke , it was something I was also thinking to do the clear problems with a part of the joke, due to selective insertion - Youreallycan 17:51, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
COI Report - You should see this.
I'm surprised to not see a notice on your page about this. I guess it slipped Goethean's mind...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Rush_Limbaugh.E2.80.93Sandra_Fluke_controversy - Xcal68 (talk) 04:33, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Xcal; Thanks, but also (ironic) Thaaaankks...... Noticed it a few days ago, figured I would let Goethean ramble on, petard hoisting, for as long as I could avoid it. Also not feeding the stalking troll. Fortunately this is among the DUMBEST of Goethean's many DUMB writings, and easy to settle. Will do so immediately. --209.6.69.227 (talk) 14:02, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
BTW, the spam Goethean is protecting all over Wikipedia is a partisan talking point issued by Think Progress. In the middle of the whole RL-SF flap that saw floods of unreliable numbers competing with each other, TP (good acronym) relased a number, 142, of lost sponsors that was 3-5X higher than anyone else's, or about 100 sponsors higher. Looking at THEIR list, the WaPo's self-identified left-leaning columnist, and Daily Kos, de-bunked the number, by pointing out that TP included 98 sponsors that just don't want to advertise on political or racy programs. Sponsors like Hallmark, which would never and has never advertised on Limbaugh, Beck, or for that matter, Maddow, Olberman, or anything Goethean calls a RS. Goethean has spammed every radio program mentioned (on WikiP pages) and the SF-RL page with this NON-FACT and edit warred to keep it up. As you noticed (by ACTUALLY reading the source cited), the edit description is in fact, just the relevant quote from the source cited.--209.6.69.227 (talk) 14:17, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
BTW, the Kos (which I am sure Goethean will now condemn as a Manchurian Republican, just waiting to disagree with TP) article entitled "Rush Limbaugh has not lost 98 advertisers.", three days after the ridiculous post by TP, is here [[1]]--209.6.69.227 (talk) 17:38, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- The thing I find most ironic of all (as you alluded to), is the case Goethean is attempting to make against you, could just as easily be made against him.
- I wonder if he was just counting on some admin not checking the link regarding the edit subject...or was it just ignorance... - Xcal68 (talk) 18:50, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hey, just read your responses on that page. Watch things like "Goethean also lacks basic reading or comparison skills...etc" Those are considered personal attacks, not to mention, people won't take you as seriously. - Xcal68 (talk) 19:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Now here [[2]] --209.6.69.227 (talk) 21:05, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
- Although the accusation(s) of COI against you are hollow, I do feel that by creating an account this will help you head-off such attacks. Widefox (talk) 09:56, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
Request to revert
From WP:RTP, our guide to refactoring talk pages:
- "Refactoring should only be done when there is an assumption of good faith by editors who have contributed to the talk page. If there are recent heated discussions on the talk page, good faith may be lacking. If another editor objects to refactoring then the changes should be reverted." emphasis added
You've changed two section headings that I created at Talk:American Legislative Exchange Council and immediately posted to, and reinstated your preferred wording after I reverted your initial change. I object to the changes, and I'd like you to revert them.
The assumption everyone makes in viewing a talk page is that the editor whose comment first appears beneath the heading is the one who chose its text, so effectively, changing a heading I created gives a false impression of what I posted. For example, your change of the heading I created entitled simply "Protests", to your preferred "Protests - Questionable notability?" merely because you deem them "non-notable", as you put it, gives everyone who reads the section the false impression that I am of your opinion, since my post is the first after the section heading.
Changing a section heading you created, after other editors have already replied beneath it, produces a similar effect, although admittedly not as emphatic. But it, too, is a form of talk page refactoring. Please revert all the changes you've made to headings on that talk page. – OhioStandard (talk) 13:05, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Just FYI; I am coming to Wikipedia as an editor first, and am a stickler for making clear what and who and why in good expository style. The title you gave initially would not have told a new reader what you were talking about. Re-read it, and agree it may have been more strongly worded than intended. Have reworded, but do not think that I am going to edit war over this. Please feel free to revert to "Protests" if you wish.--209.6.69.227 (talk) 23:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- There's nothing remotely unclear or ambiguous about "If another editor objects to refactoring then the changes should be reverted". Are you going to revert to the original subject headings, including the one for the "800 documents" section, and refrain from editing others' talk page contributions in the future, or not? – OhioStandard (talk) 08:56, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
- It's "not", evidently, since you've made edits after I posted this second request. I've again restored the titles I originally gave to the two talk page sections I began. You've been warned previously by other editors not to change their posts: If I see you do so again, you'll end up at the appropriate noticeboard. Similarly re your battleground behaviour, e.g. your multiple remarks about what you're pleased to call my "rambling" and "nonsensical" entries and your section heading of "Ummm.... You do know what EDITING is", to mention just a few of examples. – OhioStandard (talk) 15:07, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
War on Women
Please don't list old AfD discussions as you did with War on Women at todays log. If you wish to AfD an article then I suggest you read WP:AFD & once you created the deletion then & only then add it to today's log. Regards ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 19:26, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
- If you need further help then reply below. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 19:28, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
May have not done this correctly, would appreciate help. Article was AfD, Deleted, then someone reposted, mostly same problems except WP:QUOTEFARM substituted for WP:OR, tagged for Speedy Deletion, declined but with proviso that the decline was just that it was different, no decision on if the problems remain. Several attempts to address problems with edits and on Talk page, no success. Do not know if this is second request or new request. --209.6.69.227 (talk) 19:33, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
I think this is fixed by an admin at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/War on Women (2nd nomination)--209.6.69.227 (talk) 19:43, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry didn't get the chance to explain broadband went funny, no another User just nominated it himself so you should go ahead & vote, in future just follow the steps 1-3. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 19:51, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, appreciated, and sorry for the time used.--209.6.69.227 (talk) 20:31, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Do not call text you disagree with "spam." There's a talk page for resolving disputes.--Jprg1966 (talk) 17:09, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Jprg; You recently tagged me in Curry_Todd as a result of my use of the word "spam". Let me assure you that the description is appropriate and used advisedly. The word as I used it refers not simply to the individual entry, since an individual entry cannot be spam, but to the habit of the editor of circumventing the appropriate Talk page (the relevant one is American Legislative Exchange Council, where I have discussed this topic at length). ALEC is a 501(c)3 organization, and it is utterly POV to label it a lobbying group, and a pejorative to label it right-wing, since it is actually Centrist/Libertarian. The editor does NOT refer to Talk pages, but INSTEAD repetitively inserts the phrase "right-wing lobbying" into dozens of pages, wherever ALEC is mentioned. I assume my edit came up on some Bot, since I do not see any evidence that you are an involved editor (another problem with the ALEC page; Wiki-lawyering and canvassing, both on and off-Wiki)--209.6.69.227 (talk) 17:55, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, so I see. Carry on.--Jprg1966 (talk) 20:15, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick and courteous revert. Admit the edit LOOKS harsh if you just see it alone. A second click, and it is obvious; takes a third to realize its urgent NPOV. --209.6.69.227 (talk) 03:56, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Please consider creating a username.
I think it would be polite and well received. Just a suggestion. Capitalismojo (talk) 17:53, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
