Talk:Peter Lyman

message: On July 1 2007, I have created a page for Prof. Peter Lyman, who is one of the most important living ethnographers in the US - he is a renowed professor at UC Berkeley, where he worked for many decades - he has written a series of seminal and influential books and papers regarding the nature of information -  please expand and edit Prof. Lyman's biographical details - This article needs additional references or sources for verification (matteo)
:Check out WP:PROF for some pointers on making a more clear case for his notability.  If you can get a couple of third party, verifiable sources to back up what you've said above, the proposed deletion will be withdrawn. MrZaiustalk 07:33, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Predazzo

message: Good evening everyone! I'm an italian university student editing on wikipedia for a project-work. Today I'm adding a new sub-chapter regarding geology, because it is and it has always been a significant characteristic of this town. Especially if we consider the UNESCO recognition of Dolomites, that focuses on landscape and geology values - Predazzo is right in the middle of three important mountain groups recognised by UNESCO. I'm also willing to add little information while confronting this webpage with the one in italian version. Thank you for your attention!

Talk:Kala-azar

message: It may be of interest to Wikipedians that the journal Nature (20 April 2005) published an editorial on the (widely ignored) importance of articles on this (type of) topic:
:The all-embracing open-source encyclopedia Wikipedia doesn’t have a dedicated page on kala-azar, or visceral leishmaniasis. But who cares? After all, the disease only transforms vast numbers of people in developing countries into walking skeletons [...].  [...] it often goes untreated, causing some 200,000 deaths each year. In the research and development (R&D) chains that lead to drugs, more attention is devoted to silicone breast implants and pills for erectile dysfunction than to the roughly 8,000 orphan diseases. [...]
:[....]
:A round table on neglected diseases [...] in Lyon, France, last week, left a depressing sense of how far we have all got to go [...].

thread_title: Wikification Project

message: The information about both the Children at war and corporate warriors was covered in the books. The first claim that it was irrelevant to the book was clearly false. Then when that was refuted you don’t appear to have checked the source but used a different excuse to delete it. This book and article was heavily sourced. These sources are credible. It seems as if the POV problem may be yours. To delete things you disagree with without checking sources would be POV. You have indicated you haven’t even checked the source which is valid. Even if it is Singer’s point of view this is legitimate since many articles about academic sources point out the beliefs of the academic source. Therefore I am restoring it. If you have objections please read the sources. Good day Zacherystaylor (talk) 17:53, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I am trying to censor your POV in favor of Singer's....  Still, even if it is Singer's or the book's POV, it was stated as if it were fact.  Singer not sufficiently reliable for that to be included in Wikipedia without other reliable sources.  As I don't have a copy of the book, I can't tell if it's accurate.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 00:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Great - Then put it in the article.  I'm not going to restore the db template, based on the assumption that the above will end up in the article shortly, but it would have been more appropriate to tag it with the template hang-on as no case for note is currently made in the article.

replies: text: Not really, as they weren't sourced and the article didn't explicitly state that they were released on Greensleeves. Restored notability template until there's a sourced case for notability - still no in-line citations to back up the case for note, although that should be simple enough to remedy.

Wikipedia talk:Content forking/ownership fork proposal

message: The below is a proposal to clarify content forking by adding ownership fork. While POV forking remains related to an attempt to evade neutral point of view policy, ownership forking relates to an attempt to evade consensus policy. Basically, I reworked the existing content forking guideline into these two types of forks. I do not think I added anything new to the guideline; I more or less tried to add workable clarity to the existing material.
Among other reasons for the proposed change, creating the distinction may help in AfD discussions. For example, as described in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Influence and activism of J. K. Rowling, talk page discussions made it clear that material from a contributor was WP:original research (among other problems). Instead of trying to resolve that discussion on the article talk page, the contributor exhibited ownership over that material and attempted to evade discussion of that material by creating a new article. In other words, the predominate reason for creating the new page was to avoid the original research discussion about that material. The predominate reason was not to avoid neutral point of view policy.  At AfD, several editors stated that it was a POV fork. However, the contributor argued against that assertion since she really was not trying to avoid or highlight negative or positive viewpoints or facts.  If ownership fork were available, it would provide a way to give a clearer characterization of that situation and others like it.
Like any proposal, please feel free to revise the below.

Wikipedia talk:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-05-21 John Bowlby

message: All - Bowlby's Contribution
My name is Kingsley Miller and I am very interested in making a video clip on YouTube about Bowlby. My view point is that his work is overrated. He has a reputation as a great psychologist but this was built on his theory of 'maternal deprivation' which was popular after the Second World War. I originally went to the page in Wikipedia on Bowlby in my researches and found the reference was wrong to omit anything about his original theory and added it as an 'addendum' without any previous knowledge of this discussion. Bowlby's real contribution lies in being the first psychologist to term the phrase 'attachment theory' but there were others working in the field at the time and it would be wrong to credit him with 'inventing' this theory. Nevertheless the popular impression is that his research proved that small children are 'damaged' when removed from their mothers and many still regard any attack on Bowlby as an assault on this research. I really respect the work of Wikipedia and apropos to this contribution I have tried to contact the organization to thank them for their work on the internet. But if the entry is to perpetuate the myth about Bowlby's reputation built on the theory of 'maternal deprivation' then it should be removed altogether as inaccurate. (I have written a booklet called 'even Toddlers Need Fathers' and recently produced a video clip on 'Bonding and the attachment theory' which has proved popular on YouTube).

Talk:Nivarox

message: I think the word Nivarox is more widely used to refer to the alloy than the business entity.  I'd suggest rewriting the initial paragraph to focus on the alloy, with a mention of the business, and expand the section on the alloy and move it above the sections on the business entity.  --Chetvorno 09:28, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Business Entity or Alloy?

message: It seems to me the most important characteristic of Nivarox has been left out of the section on the alloy.  The reason it is used in hairsprings is its low thermal coefficient of elasticity, not its low thermal expansion coefficient. --Chetvorno 10:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Nivarox Alloy

message: I think it's a stretch to claim that Nivarox alone made the compensation balance obsolete.  If any one alloy can make that claim, I would think it would be Elinvar, the first low elasticity coefficient alloy.  It also makes the article sound like a corporate promotion.  I would suggest either supporting the claim with references, or qualifying it. --Chetvorno 09:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Exaggerated Claim?

message: The composition for the material seems very odd, at least to me. If the matrix of the alloy is iron/carbon, in which the other elements are dissolved/precipitated then why does the matrix only comprise at most 27% of the material? What percentages are these in, atomic or weight? If the cobalt concentration is higher than that of the "matrix" why is it not a cobalt alloy? I don't get this at all - nor can I find any references to the alloy based upon its commerical name. User A1 (talk) 09:07, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Joseph Schechtman

message: The 1940 US Census shows that Joseph Schectman, his wife Adelaide and her widowed mother, Miriam Cohen, were enumerated on April 2, 1940 as living at 8591 Fleet Street in Queens, New York. That indicates he had actually emigrated prior to that date, and not in the "summer of 1941" as currently noted in the article, although I suppose it's possible that he filed documentation to that effect that summer. I suggest the article might be edited to incorporate the census information. 
Here's the reference: Source Citation: Year: 1940; Census Place: New York, Queens, New York; Roll: T627_2726; Page: 61A; Enumeration District: 41-312.
