message: Why is the cleanup request still here?  If nobody can point to a specific need, let's drop it.  I may be missing something but I am not seeing the problem.  Uberhill 20:50, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

message: thanks again for the notice here User_talk:Scarpy#Noah_Levine%2FBLP. My only objection here is that without saying that the quote is from the official release it has a scare quote quality to it (at least it did to me when I read it). I also agree it's not clear they were strictly following the United States definition of burden of proof even if the terminology is the same. I do think we should make clear that it's a quotation from the official communication rather than a Wikipedian scare quoting. - Scarpy (talk) 17:43, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Conventionally, when a quotation appears with a reference I would think that the assumption is that it is quoting the referenced source- I wasn't quite sure what made it appear to be a scare quote. 'Preponderance of that evidence' would be a weird thing to scare quote- if it was just 'evidence' or 'investigation' I would agree. I considered quoting all or part of this sentence as well: "Ms. Yang concluded that with multiple women, Mr. Levine violated the Third Precept of the Teacher’s Code of Ethics, namely, “to avoid creating harm through sexuality.” "- maybe adding a sentence with that quotation, rather than the current paraphrase, would clarify? --Spasemunki (talk) 17:53, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's because it's quoting a noun phrase instead of a full sentence or clause. I would propose something like this.  - Scarpy (talk) 18:42, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  's text is worded well, if a bit long. I just dropped by to say that I disagree with 's edit, quoting "preponderance of that evidence". Daask (talk) 20:56, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I trimmed things down a little bit but retained 's approach. --Spasemunki (talk) 02:04, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  scare quotes in "Allegations of sexual misconduct" 

message: Do the allegations need their own header? It seems as if this is an unbalanced bio given that Levine’s 30 year career gets the same space as allegations.  Veritasy (talk) 05:32, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can find a good way to word it feel free to alter it. I was just worried that without an exact quote on such a delicate issue it would be open to being inaccurately altered later or perceived as a POV view from an editor. The quote clarifies certain points that would be difficult to sum up in less words. Dharmalion76 (talk) 12:46, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Allegations  

message: This is important information to include, but similar to the issue expressed above, I'm thinking a summary of the recent Tricycle and Jezebel articles is more appropriate than a large quote. - Scarpy (talk) 23:33, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

message: I removed the "Books and Beliefs" section, as it was word-for-word copied and pasted from his author bio as referenced in the cited magazine article. I'm not sure how to amend the citation section to reflect that, however. Mushika Vahana (talk) 01:52, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Books and Beliefs" Section 

message: The article states both that ATS dissolved and that Levine currently teaches there.  2018 article from trycicle says ATS closed shop, but website and facebook are very active (and Levine-heavy).  I understand that wikipedia can only report if a reputable sources chooses to investigate, but perhaps someone with more knowledge can clear up these discrepencies.
