Human Cytome project: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pvosta/humcyt.htm
:No, as I've said, it's never appropriate to include or link your WP:OR unless it's been reviewed and published elsewhere.  It's also not a good idea for someone else to link it if it just a personal web page not subject to review by anyone known to be a reliable source.  
:Put more relevant info into the article.  The article really needs to say something about the scope of the project (5W's ?) like who started it, when, where is it, who runs it, what does it do, why it is important, etc. Dicklyon 15:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dick, thanks once again for your help and clarification. Would it be acceptable if I used the personal webpage only as a source of inspiration and place this (5W's) basic content on Wikipedia for others to scrutinize? This would mean rewriting part of the 60+ pages of the source webpage on Wikipedia Pvosta 15:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's the right idea.  That way, anything you contribute will be part of the collaborative wiki system, so anyone who thinks you got it wrong, or said something not verifiable, will be easily able to weigh in with a change.  If nobody contests it, then it's a semi-permanent part of wikipedia and the dozens of other sites that clone the content.  If someone think you're putting your own WP:OR into the wikipedia, on the other hand, and you can't provide a verifiable source, they will be justified in removing it.  You'll pick up the game. You probably shouldn't try to put it all in at once, and see how it goes. Dicklyon 21:33, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Salem Township, Washtenaw County, Michigan

message: Why do you keep changing this to a "civil township" when it is a "general law township" via the Michigan General Law Township Act?
:Simple, there is no article on General Law townships and the subject IS covered in the article on civil townships. A separate article on michigan townships covering both charter and general law would be nice, but if such an article were to be created, we'd want to go through and link all of Michigan townships to the article. As it is, nearly all Michigan township articles link to either the civil township or the charter township.  There is no good reason for this one article to be different. older ≠ wiser 13:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because there is no article for general law townships and the way that you are linking to List_of_cities,_villages,_and_townships_in_Michigan is just bad style according to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you really, really want the text to read as general law, then fine, I'll pipe the link. But I think it is stupid to have one township where the link is different from all of the rest. older ≠ wiser 00:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I believe that, upon closer inspection, the elongated appearance it will be found deceptive. The surface of the eyes is very close to the same level as the outer dermis.

thread_title:  Clean up of article 

message: This BLP continues to have major concerns that must be addressed, specifically:
*Lots of statements are entirely unsourced and will have to be removed if sources cannot be found, for example the alternative parenting situation that is asserted. In fact, most of the "sources" are web flotsam and not WP:RS at all
*Notability is still an issue – most of the "sources" do not go toward it at all, e.g. his unfinished, unpublished pamphlet and the videos that spotlight the Twin Oaks Community (in which Calta appears briefly, along with many other folks). The Fox news article does discuss him briefly in light of an arrest, but without other sources, this isn't much more than WP:1E.
I've re-tagged the page in this regard. I'm hoping this will stir some activity by others towards resolving these issues, because I haven't come up with much more than what is here. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 19:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I'll say what I think here but I don't think anyone will be the slightest bit interested. You could mention Joan and her sister at the Catherine de Medici page, but even there I don't think they're worth mentioning.

You could merge but lose every bit of this page's info and not mention Joan at all. The maker of this page, by the way, has deleted himself, it seems. Ditto the above comments for "Victoria of Valois".

Talk:Contrarian investing

message: The links at the end of this page don't make any sense to me.  Individualism has little to do with contrarianism.  Noam Chomsky is certainly controversial, but I don't think he's considered a contrarian.  I don't know anything about Barry Sussman, but his wikipedia page suggests he's notable for fraud, not for contrarian investing.  Also, the external link strikes me as advertising.

thread_title:  The Links Should Be Changed 

message: I own quitecontrarian.com.  I also contributed a decent amount of the content to this page about a year ago (although the only individuals I discussed were Buffett and Graham).  I included the link at that time.  Since my site focuses on contrarian investing, I thought the link was appropriate.  However, I got a notice saying it was reported as spam and removed.  Now I certainly wasn't trying to spam - my site has a single adsense block, but isn't really commercial in nature.  It's just a perfectly respectable blog. Articles from my site have been published by Forbes, the Huffington Post, Seeking Alpha, and Yahoo Finance, to name a few. I honestly believed the writing there to be of genuine value to someone interested in this topic.
Anyway, I'm surprised to see that the link is still there, as I thought it had been removed a year ago, and I most certainly did not replace it. But now my site is showing up on spammer report pages, which I don't think is fair, all things considered.  
I'm more than happy to remove the link, if desired.  I'm wondering now if there's any way to have myself removed from those monitor lists.

message: I am planning to add significant additional information to this page, especially in explaining how contrarian investing differs in key ways from other kinds of investing, and when contrarian investing will tend to be most or least successful.
My name is Steven Jon Kaplan and since 1996 I have been writing on a daily basis about how contrarian investing works in theory and how to apply it in practice.  I don't intend to include any links to myself or to promote myself in any way, or to mention my name anywhere on the page itself.  I do plan to add numerous relevant links which in my opinion are too sparse on the current page.  I would like to add several paragraphs which would be especially relevant in explaining the reasons why contrarian investing is generally successful and when it tends to be least successful.  I would specifically like to describe how contrarian investing differs from related concepts like value investing, which in my opinion is the most important section which is missing from the current page.  I plan to do this gradually over the next several weeks so that others can see what I have done and make edits/suggestions/changes as they see fit.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
