[edit] Good changes to Churchill

Thanks for the good quality of changes you've made in the last day or two. We were slightly at loggerheads over some earlier edits (though those seem to get resolved OK); but the additions you've made recently are definitely NPOV and good quality, and I appreciate that. I definitely think the findings of the CU subcommittee are very notable for inclusion. In summary for the main bio, but where they dispute/refute claims by Churchill or his proponents on the child article, we should point that out clearly.

Mind you, I don't think the subcommittee is the "voice of god" either... they could be wrong also (for example, Churchill made a statement in Counterpunch right after the release of the findings that continued to dispute the process and outcome). On the other hand, I know personally the subcommittee chair, Mimi Wesson, well enough to know that her part in it, at least was conducted in good faith and with integrity. I'm pretty sure she's one of those recommending the lesser suspension; but the fact she recommended suspension at all means quite a bit. Of course, my personal feelings about Dr. Wesson aren't encyclopedic either. Anyway, where something specific in the findings contradicts something that Churchill (or other parties) had stated previously, we should make a point of presenting the committee opinion as well... which is exactly what you've done.

Oh, I saw that the copyright clearance on the old Post article you scanned was questioned. It might have been OK if you had tagged it as fair use or the like. But that might have been iffy too; as much as I think it's worth letting readers see, I suspect the Post really does have a legal right to disallow it. I guess what I'll do is upload the scan to my own website, and change the image link to point there. If the Post complains at me, I'm not going to fight about taking it down... but most likely I can just do that "under the radar". LotLE×talk 01:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Verklempt, You've added some somewhat incomplete citations to the Churchil articles that I've tried to complete. In particular, you generally do not give URL links for readers to follow, nor complete author and title information. As well, I'd like to move all the articles towards using the m:Cite.php "<ref>" citation style, since it allows complete citation details (as well as annotations, where appropriate). The main bio and the misconduct allegations are mostly there, other than your additions; the essay controversy one still needs to be converted, but I made a small first step. I'd appreciate it if you'd try to give more full citations... look at the examples elsewhere in the article (they're not all perfect, but you can find some good ones among them).
FWIW, I think your wording changes to the LaVelle/citation index point is good, and the annotations you added about subcommittee findings are also helpful. I'm not sure why MONGO took those out. I had expressed a concern to him about the anonymous editor who was blanking stuff, and I think possibly MONGO got confused about which edits I was referring to. Though I obviously agree with MONGO on the need for citing the second investigation matter. LotLE×talk 19:54, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:3RR

Please read over Wikipedias three revert rule. Your latest edit to Ward Churchill misconduct allegations is essentially the same as others you keep reverting to. I have reverted your latest edit since it took out information that enhanced the article. Discuss appropriate changes in the discussion page. Thanks.--MONGO 04:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lumbee

Hey, I started an RfC for the Lumbee article, which I know you have edited. Your input would be appreciated.--Cúchullain t/c 20:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not continue reverting SCV artcle

Will Beback had the courtesy to move the "factionalization" section into a draft page, so that we could discuss and re-edit. I object to your mulish and aggravated refusal to cooperate with these efforts, and consider same to be a violation of Wikipedia good faith policies. --Black Flag 21:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

What a bullshit complaint. You have refused to negotiate for five days, have never offered a single substantive criticism, alternative edit, or new piece of evidence for this subsection. I authored most of the draft section. You have yet to propose or make a single edit to it. I submit that you are the one who is refusing to cooperate in good faith.Verklempt 21:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SCV

The Atlanta Journal Constitution source you added to the article is excellent. After this stuff blows over, it should be readded to the subsection. We should take it one step at a time, though, and I might have to file another RFC on it (obviously, it will be supported). · j e r s y k o talk · 22:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Afterall, the AJC is a well-known non-biased source, with exemplars of “neutrality” such as Cynthia Tucker. [hysterical laughing heard in the background]--Black Flag 23:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:3RR

Please read over Wikipedias three revert rule. Your latest edit to Talk:Sons of Confederate Veterans/factionalization is in contravention of the agreement posted at the SCV article Talk page. Thanks.

Moreover, you had asked for my contibutions ON THE ABOVE DRAFT PAGE and then immediately reverted same. The purpose of the DRAFT page is for discussion, not INSTANT REVERTS. I also noted that you have violated the WP:3RR rule. Please do not force me to submit this issue to an Administrator.--Black Flag 00:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

It's a different page, silly. Furthermore, you're in the same boat. Finally, your edits are not in good faith. You know that yoru scources don't meet WP policy, even if your links weren't broken.Verklempt 00:17, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User conduct rfc

Hi Verklempt. I invite you to comment on User:Fix Bayonets! user conduct rfc, which I started today. Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Fix Bayonets!. Thanks for any input you have. · j e r s y k o talk · 05:00, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
