Your assertion that ""wheelchair bound"" is the more professional term is completely incorrect. ""Wheelchair user"" is the professional choice. Please refer to the BBC style guide, Guardian style guide, and National Center on Disability & Journalism:
Guardian: ""Say (if relevant) that someone uses a wheelchair, not that they are ""in a wheelchair"" or ""wheelchair-bound"" – stigmatising and offensive, as well as inaccurate""
http://www.guardian.co.uk/styleguide/w
BBC: ""When describing disability, make sure you use the currently acceptable terms as advised by the main national organisations, such as blind people, deaf and hard of hearing people, people with a disability. Ideas about what is acceptable can change and can vary among different groups.
Don’t use words such as ‘suffer’, ‘victim’, ‘handicapped’, ‘challenged’. Some alternatives:
* suffers from, is a victim of - has
* handicapped/challenged - with a disability
* mentally handicapped (people) - with a learning disability / learning difficulties
* wheelchair-bound - a wheelchair user
* handicapped toilet - accessible toilet""
http://www.bbc.co.uk/branding/text/writing_style_guidelines_sep07.html
NCDJ:
""Confined to a wheelchair* (“wheelchair”) Avoid using “confined to a wheelchair” or “wheelchair-bound.” Instead, use “person who uses a wheelchair” or “wheelchair user.” ""

Van Hoogstraten (R on the Application of) v Governor HMP Belmarsh
[2002] EWHC 1965 Admin
Jackson J
Case No: CO/4302/2002TABDate: 23/09/2002
40. The term ""legal adviser"" in rule 2 must embrace any lawyer who (a) is chosen by the prisoner, and (b) is entitled to represent the prisoner in criminal proceedings to which the prisoner is a defendant. On the evidence before the court, Mr Di Stefano is an Italian avvocato who falls within the definition of ""EEC lawyer"" in the 1978 Order. He has been chosen by the claimant to represent him in ongoing criminal proceedings. It therefore follows that Mr Di Stefano falls within the term ""his solicitor or counsel"" in rule 2 of the Prison Rules.
41. Under rule 38(1) Mr Di Stefano must be afforded reasonable facilities for interviewing his client in Belmarsh Prison in connection with the current criminal proceedings.
MR JUSTICE JACKSON: Thank you. The claimant has won on the grounds set out in his claim form. The claimant has won on the live issues before the court. The proper order in all the circumstances of this case is that costs should follow the event. The defendant must pay the claimant's costs of the judicial review proceedings.

10. The argument which Mr Johnson deployed at the hearing last week was to the following effect: An Italian avvocato is not a solicitor or a barrister; therefore he is not one of those persons entitled under Rule 38 of the Prison Rules 1999 to make a legal visit to Mr Van Hoogstraten in Belmarsh Prison. There was before the court last week evidence that Mr Di Stefano is an Italian avvocato. There are a number of references to this in the documentation before me. Perhaps most pertinently the bundle at page 67 includes Mr Di Stefano's identification card and halfway down we see: ""Professione Avvocato"". On the right of that there is a photograph of Mr Di Stefano and his signature.
11. There was no reservation by the defendant to the effect that Mr Di Stefano was not an avvocato at all. Argument proceeded last week on the question whether or not an Italian avvocato fell within rule 2(1) and rule 38(1) of the Prison Rules.
17. It should be borne in mind that Mr Di Stefano is the lawyer who has been chosen by the claimant to represent him in criminal proceedings. He has been chosen as the lead lawyer to represent the claimant, and under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights the claimant is entitled to be represented by the lawyer of his choice. That must entail the opportunity to confer with the lawyer of his choice before he appears for sentence.
25. Mr Di Stefano has been appointed as the principal legal adviser of the claimant. It seems to me that Mr Di Stefano has exercised wise judgment in the legal team which he has appointed. He has selected as one of the Leading Counsel to make the plea in mitigation a leading authority in the field of criminal sentencing. Mr Tam submits that with such a distinguished legal team it is quite unnecessary for Mr Di Stefano to visit his client in prison. He can receive instructions at secondhand, and Article 6 does not require Mr Di Stefano's presence.
26. I do not agree. Mr Van Hoogstraten has chosen Mr Di Stefano as his principal legal adviser. The choice of principal legal adviser is for the client. It is not for me; it is not for counsel in this case or anybody else. It is a matter for the client, and if he wishes to appoint an Italian avvocato as his principal legal adviser, and that Italian avvocato has rights to practise in this country under the 1978 Order, then Mr Van Hoogstraten is entitled to take that course.

And more important the concession made by the Home Office
71. If your Lordship then goes on to page 61, your Lordship will see the letter written to the Central Criminal Court. In the second paragraph of that the letter is said to enclose the documentation referred to therein, including the Power of Attorney and the Certificate that he has as to his good standing as an avvocato in Italy. Then in the fourth paragraph, the identification card which describes him as an avvocato.
72. Now, it appears that the certificates on 64, 65 and 66 are the certificates referred to, but as your Lordship will recall I think a concession was made last week that those certificates are in fact of good character in terms of criminal convictions and charges and do not relate to his status as an avvocato. And then the identification card on 67 itself describes him as “avvocato"". One does not know which of the two ambiguous meanings that might have.
73. MR JUSTICE JACKSON: Woul | toxic | en |

Also, why are we saying that the allegations against Quinn were ""proven"" false, when the only sources say that Stephen Totilo, Grayson's boss, said he didn't find any wrongdoing? I'm not saying we need to question his account, but acting as if his word is objective fact isn't neutral. There's also no mention of Grayson being listed in Depression Quest credits or his admission to having been a tester for the game. " | toxic | en |

New Pages update
Hey ). A quick update on how things are going with the New Page Triage/New Pages Feed project. As the enwiki page notes, the project is divided into two chunks: the ""list view"" (essentially an updated version of Special:NewPages) and the ""article view"", a view you'll be presented with when you open up individual articles that contains a toolbar with lots of options to interact with the page - patrolling it, adding maintenance tags, nominating it for deletion, so on.
On the list view front, we're pretty much done! We tried deploying it to enwiki, in line with our Engagement Strategy on Wednesday, but ran into bugs and had to reschedule - the same happened on Thursday (. We've queued a new deployment for Monday PST, and hopefully that one will go better. If it does, the software will be ready to play around with and test by the following week! ).
On the article view front, the developers are doing some fantastic work designing the toolbar, which we're calling the ""curation bar""; you can see a mockup here. A stripped-down version of this should be ready to deploy fairly soon after the list view is; I'm afraid I don't have precise dates yet. When I have more info, or can unleash everyone to test the list view, I'll let you know ). As always, any questions to the talkpage for the project or mine. Thanks! " | toxic | en |

I'm not entirely sure why you think this isn't significant. The whole crux of the disagreement was on independence for Lithuania, and the anti-Soviet leaders really didn't have the power to achieve that with anything but diplomacy and referenda (again, not saying that what they did was legal or illegal, but pratically speaking). I'm not sure about your 'biased and nationalistic' books, but a few seconds of searching brought me a New York Times front page article from 5/17/90 titled ""EVOLUTION IN EUROPE; LITHUANIA AGREES TO SUSPEND LAWS ON INDEPENDENCE."" I know about the rule regarding individual research, but I did a term paper in college about this that I'm going to try to dig up and use the bibliography. If I remember, there was quite a bit on JSTOR so if you've got access to it you should check it out. I think it's relevant to the recent Ukraine-Russia dispute because it shows the significant power that Russia/USSR can wield with the threat of an energy embargo. " | toxic | en |

Hi,
You are probably right, I should have asked for a source rather than calling it ""drivel"". I can't say I know a lot about Proust, but I remember him being described as a hypochondriac, so I'm easily convinced regarding odd description of that author. However, the addition in question certainly did require a citation:
It is also said that Proust, who, for a time owned a brothel, would enjoy watching young male prostitutes engaging in their trade. It is also said, however, that watching hungry caged rats fight each other to the death or torturing them with hatpins would never fail to bring him to orgasm.
BTW, the second edit from this anon has been reverted.

Hello Mr. Whales
My name is Barney Johnson, i would like to ask why this man is an admin, and why this user is still here on Wikipedia, first off a Sysop by the name of | toxic | en |
Re: Rollback
As far as I can tell by roughly looking at my contribs, I've made somewhere around 7000 edits (possibly more or less) in the last 8 months since I was last blocked, and except for reverting vandalism, I don't believe I have reverted any editor more than once in a 24 hour period, although there might be a few exceptions that I may have missed; in fact I do believe there was one incident where I reverted an editor twice. As for my three blocks, the first was for reverting an editor three times in a 24 hour period, the second was erroneous, as I was blocked for reverting scibaby vandalism on sight three times, and the third was for making three reverts to the same article I was originally blocked. In other words, in all three instances I was not blocked for violating 3RR (even though Madman claims I was in the edit summary; he never retracted in the edit summary but he did retract on my talk page and another administrator came forward to criticize the block[ser_talk:Viriditas/Archive_18#Blocked]). As for the other two blocks, I have made three exceptional changes to insure that I was not blocked again, including permanently leaving the article of which I was the primary contributor; abstaining from editing alongside the editor I was involved in the edit war with, and; leaving that particular WikiProject altogether to avoid running into the same editor by accident. Since that time, eight months have passed with little if any problems to report, and during that time I have continued to revert vandalism to Hawaii-related articles. I believe that I do not have a history of disruptive editing, however, I did have a problem with a particular editor on a particular article who worked on a particular project, and I have eliminated that problem by ignoring the editor, removing myself from the article, and unsubscribing from the project. Does this alleviate your concerns? | toxic | en |
confirmcorp info
see the comment below on williams ' confirmation site . sounds similar to what
we are proposing on cl . one question i ' m exploring right now is whether we
could save more money from an enron perspective and achieve greater
marketability with the model that confirmcorp proposes with automated
matching vs . the commodity logic / williams approach that depends on users
reviewing / approving confirms ( we ' ve simply put the current process online so
to speak ) . we need to push for a more radical change / improvement on a faster
timeline . i still believe confirms is the correct area to be focusing on ,
as i mentioned in our meeting with louise , but we need to seriously review
what we propose to deliver and how . is confirmcorp a viable company to bring
under the enron umbrella ?
i think we should be concerned that late entry with less functionality will
erode our ability to sign up customers . i don ' t think each large marketer
will want to log in to several sites to clear their confirmations with each
of their large counterparties .
can we find out if williams has further plans for their service that would
compete with commodity logic ?

They both joined to attack the dissident thread and then proceeded to target my bio page. They have hounded me for years now.

They have gone as far as to claim my very own daughter and (despite full and exaustive references) almost every other thing I have done in my life is false.
They have nominated my bio page for deletion.

The McIntosh et al. 2013 study on rotational acceleration and bicycle helmets
I have restored the reference to this study in the ""Rotational Injury"" section of the article - someone had removed it and substituted a reference to a another study by McIntosh et al. which deals only with motorcycle helmets. Unfortunately, it seems the publisher has made a mistake and the McIntosh et al. paper and one other paper are missing from the online journal contents (you can see the gap in the page numbers for that issue). The corresponding author is endeavouring to have that corrected, but the paper does exist, I have seen a copy of it. It isn't indexed in PubMed yet either. In the meantime, I will post of a copy of the abstract from the paper here:
ANDREW S. MCINTOSH, ADRIAN LAI and EDGAR SCHILTER. Bicycle Helmets: Head Impact Dynamics in Helmeted and Unhelmeted Oblique Impact Tests. Traffic Injury Prevention (2013) 14, 501–508. online DOI: 10.1080/15389588.2012.727217.
Objective: To assess the factors, including helmet use, that contribute to head linear and angular acceleration in bicycle crash simulation tests.
Method: A series of laboratory tests was undertaken using an oblique impact rig. The impact rig included a drop assembly with a Hybrid III head and neck. The head struck a horizontally moving striker plate. Head linear and angular acceleration and striker plate force were measured. The Head Injury Criterion was derived. The following test parameters were varied: drop height to a maximum of 1.5 m, horizontal speed to a maximum of 25 km/h, helmet/no helmet, impact orientation/location, and restraint adjustment. Additional radial impacts were conducted on the same helmet models for comparison purposes. Descriptive statistics were derived and multiple regression was applied to examine the role of each parameter.
Results: Helmet use was the most significant factor in reducing the magnitude of all outcome variables. Linear acceleration and the Head Injury Criterion were influenced by the drop height, whereas angular acceleration tended to be influenced by the horizontal speed and impact orientation/location. The restraint adjustment influenced the outcome variables, with lower coefficients of variation observed with the tight restraint.
Conclusions: The study reinforces the benefits of wearing a bicycle helmet in a crash. The study also demonstrates that helmets do not increase angular head acceleration. The study assists in establishing the need for an agreed-upon international oblique helmet test as well as the boundary conditions for oblique helmet testing.

:::::No, your comparison is invalid. Your magnitude difference is just proportional to the difference of the realms we're talking about - editing a wiki knowledgebase vs. living. Saying you can log off from Wikipedia if you don't like Jimbo is like saying you can just kill yourself if you don't like living under your local dictator. It's saying you can give up on the entire thing if you don't like the conditions. If people don't have a better option, they will prefer suboptimal conditions to giving up entirely. That's why even people who despise Jimbo remain on Wikipedia, just as people in dictatorial countries don't kill themselves. However, in the latter case some will emigrate if they can, whereas there's no option to go to another Wikipedia equivalent because it's a natural monopoly. ""Love it or leave it"" is an idiotic argument in the real world already, but even more so on Wikipedia. Criticizing Wikipedia's dictator is as legitimate as criticizing any other dictator. Since Jimbo is no longer paying anything for Wikipedia, he has no moral standing to claim eternal leadership. It's just an artifact of his role in the founding of Wikipedia which he has cleverly perpetuated. If this was a private company, it would be a different matter, but Jimbo himself is all the time presenting this as a cultural thing and as a self-governing community, playing down his own supremacy by not using any title like chairman or president, just calling himself ""founder"".

:I read the deleted content again (administrators have access to deleted content), and I'm very sorry, but the answer is still no. I completely understand that this was not made as a profit-seeking enterprise, but that's not the point. The point is that you did not make any statements about whether this short film made by two teenage girls had any notability. That they made this short documentary to honor those who died in Auschwitz is admirable, yes. But this was two teenage girls who made a 33-minute documentary by themselves, and posted it on Vimeo. Has the news media taken any notice of this movie? Has there been any independent third-party coverage of it? If yes, how was I supposed to know that? You didn't say anything about it. Show me notability and I'll restore it. And if no, well... that's why it got deleted. | toxic | en |

Thank you for taking the time to review my page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Alok_Nanda_%26_Company_Communications_Pvt._Ltd.)
I was hoping you could shed some light on your feedback.
'refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources': My sources include CNBC, Forbes India and Economic Times. Since the subject is an Indian advertising firm, I've also included sources like CampaignIndia and Afaqs, that are known and respected by the Indian advertising community. Could you specify why these sources are unacceptable so that I may improve my article?
'This submission appears to read more like an advertisement...articles need to be written from a neutral point of view': I have avoided what might be considered as 'peacock terms'; there are, however a few instances where I've used words taken directly from sources. For instance: 'India is the fastest-growing luxury market' from CNBC.com. Do you object to words/phrases like these or is there something else you'd like me to change?
I'd appreciate your help. | toxic | en |

I can't see any reason to use American Dating format for an article that intimately concerns an Italian, where International Dating is more appropriate. Not without a good reason. Sure, the Roman Catholic Church is a global institution, but so to is the British Commonwealth, and I can't see any reason to use American Dating in the biographical article on the current head of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth II. Or for any previous British monarch, including the time when they reigned over what is now the U.S.. When there's an American (or Filipino]] pope, then American Dating format would be appropriate for their biographical article. I've been working my way through the popes, changing the date formats to International Dating, and I'd appreciate that my careful work on this article be restored.

The reference used quotes ""Allah"". Why would we not use the phrase that is part of the reference? It is POV to render this to ""God"".

Hi.
The story of C++ Builder, Delphi and RAD Studio is very similar to the story of Visual C++, Visual Basic and Visual Studio. (In fact, I suspect they may be cause and effect.) Once upon a time, when Borland was in charge of development, it only developed C++ Builder and Delphi, two separate but highly compatible development tools. They were two language-specific IDEs. I am not sure who came up with the idea of RAD Studio; CodeGear or Embarcadero. But RAD Studio is like Visual Studio today. RAD Studio supports both C++ Builder and Delphi languages. Buying RAD Studio is like buying both Delphi and C++ Builder. Only buying the two separately costs €11,937.60, while buying only RAD Studio costs €6,715.20. These prices, of course, do not include subscription costs.

change of control provisions
as many of you know , i have a provision in my employment contract which provides for a payment of $ 20 million per year for the remaining term of my contract in the event of a change of control of enron . the merger with dynegy , or a similar transaction with any other company , would trigger this provision on closing . assuming the merger with dynegy is closed within 6 - 9 months , as we expect , this provision would entitle me to total payments of slightly more than $ 60 million .
many ceos have change of control provisions in their employment contracts and mine has been in place since 1989 . but given the current circumstances facing the company and our employees , i have been giving a lot of thought these last few days to what to do about this payment . initially , i thought i would use part of the funds for a foundation for our employees and take the remainder in stock and cash . however , after talking to a number of employees this afternoon , i have decided that the best course of action would be for me to waive my right to any of this payment . therefore , at closing , i will receive no payments under this provision .
i know this action does not remedy the uncertainty that you and your families face . but please know that i will continue to do everything in my power to serve the best interests of enron ' s employees and shareholders . i am still very proud of what we have built at enron , and i want to continue working with all of you to correct the problems and restore enron to its rightful place in the energy industry .

==Speedy deletion of Buffer Zone Laing==
A tag has been placed on Buffer Zone Laing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or ""db"" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Sure. So in this particular case, here is what I found. You've been name-dropped in WaPo. Usually, that would make you an auto-implied-endorsement... but rather than being 'strategist' or some kind of 'senior advisor' or whatever, your job title was CTO... somewhat strange for a political campaign to *have* somebody with that job-title. Hence, I didn't count it as an auto-implied-endorsement, but looked further. This is relatively unambiguous:
Ron Schnell, computer programmer at NSU
But there is some wiggle room, there. And thus, the question is: 1) per WP:ABOUTSELF, is that a public endorsement, by a ""celebrity programmer"" of sorts? or alternatively, is that a public endorsement, by a ""celebrity professor"" of sorts? I originally put you down as a prof, because of your earliest press being for NYU, and your current job being adjunct prof, and your years at Syracuse. You have obviously been a programmer, but you've also obviously been in academia (of one type or another ... sysadmin at ITS counts in my book) for a very long time. Paul has specific platform-planks that impact the world of computer science, and the computer industry: net neutrality, NSA data-collection, and more. There are likely to be copyright-related issues in the 2016 election (cf the oracle-vs-google lawsuit over whether the fundefs in an API are ""copyright"" or rather ""fair use"" in terms of Java libcalls this is probably more important than the look and feel lawsuits of the 1980s). So, I could see a case where as a programmer-slash-professor, you would endorse based on your understanding of the economic impact in the computer industry, much like Walter Block endorsed as an academic who is an economics prof (despite disagreeing with Paul on specific issues like the correct governmental level for dealing with vaccinations they agree on economics and thus Block endorsed). Then there is the third possibility, which is the endorsement as a staffer. Although you are a new face as a political consultant, that doesn't necessarily make a staffer-endorsement less valuable; in some ways, it makes your endorsement more wiki-noteworthy, because you *are* an outsider, who wasn't hired based on your implied-and-pre-existing endorsement, like most of the professional-political-staffer-hires tend to be.
Finally, I will point out that per WP:BLP, wikipedians are pretty careful when making statements about BLPs, yourself included, as well as Rand Paul. It is 'saying something' about Paul when somebody is listed as endorsing him, but even more so, it is 'saying something' about you when we list you as an endorsement-giver. Since this is a borderline case, wikipedians usually just defer to what the BLP wants to happen (in this case you). If you want to be listed as an endorsement-giver, because it is a true statement, per WP:COI you should not insert yourself. But I already inserted you, along with a ton of other staffer-endorsements (most of the implied variety but one or two that were more carefully quotation-laden). And that was before we became wiki-involved during the AfD of the Dunnet videogame, so it still stands an the action of an uninvolved editor. In other words, if you'd rather be left off the list, that's fine, just say so, and why. If somebody else inserts you into the article, don't remove yourself from the article-mainspace, per wiki-COI behavioral rule#1, but instead ask for assistance. It will also help if you post something WP:ABOUTSELF to your blog, which says that you are not yet formally endorsing any candidate in the race, although that's not necessary at present (only if some other editor re-inserts you). On the other hand, if after reading this, and looking over the list at Endorsements for the Republican Party presidential primaries, 2016, you end up deciding that you do belong on the list (either under the academia-subsection or under the ce | toxic | en |

It seems fair to include a notable players section for this this team. I am not suggesting that we include ""fan favourites"" but players from previous seasons who are of major importance outside of their involvement with the team seems fair.

It is likely that people may look to wikipedia to find out information about these two former players.

You Deleted Carltotta...why
Isn't this an evolving thing where people can submit history, past and present. maybe Carltotta actually does exist and you are not aware. What is that old line of thought?...yes it goes something like this:
We all know that we know what we don't know...you know that a Carltotta does not exist. What you are not thinking about is what you don't know that you don't know. You don't know that a Carltotta exists, therefore we have a classic you ""don't know what you don't know here"" it is very apparent.
A Carltotta does indeed exist. If you were not so trigger happy, the definition would have been posted very shortly. Where in the rules of this matrix of thought does it say you cannot submit an item that does indeed exist. Even if there is a thought or an item between as few as two people, or even one, I argue that it has the right to be shared with the rest of the world." | toxic | en |
