[edit] Century articles
Hi,
I've run into a dispute with an administrator and I'm wondering if I should ask for arbitration.
I've been editing some of the century articles for a few months. I've been adhering to the standard layout (Wikipedia:Timeline standards#Layout for century pages) and I've tried to maintain a NPOV.
Last week, the 19th century article was the COTW in spite of the fact that only non-existent articles, or stubs may be nominated. The administrator who nominated the article stated that contributors needed to add more text. The 19th century article is now over 32KB and in my opinion, the new text is incoherent and heavily tilted to a Western POV.
I have requested that century articles not be nominated (see Wikipedia talk:Collaboration of the week#Century articles), but the administrator who made the nomination made a sarcastic response to me and another admin stated that the standard layout should be disregarded and that more century articles will be nominated.
Should I request arbitration or let things stand? --Brunnock 19:29, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Style issues
You seem to have archived the last page of your Talk without responding to any of my three questions about your edits to Ancient Rome; did you miss my post? In any case, more style issues have arisen with your edits to List of Latin phrases: please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Quotation marks, specifically the part which explains that the period is only to be included inside the quotations if the sense of the quotations includes finality—thus, "all other things being equal". instead of "all other things being equal.", and when you changed the carthago delenda est translations, you should have been consistent by also adding a period within "In conclusion, I declare that Carthage must be destroyed." even though it wasn't the end of the larger sentence it was quoted within.
Aside from that, I believe the word you were looking for is "idiomatically", not "idomatically", linking to "Christian" is not considered necessary in cases where dozens of similar and more specific links are already provided (see Wikipedia:Make only links relevant to the context), and your uncapitalizing "To Liberate the Oppressed" was inconsistent (as was moving the period, but I've already addressed that), since the other translation was capitalized because the original Latin is currently capitalized. Other than those issues, your edits are quite good, and I only bring these up in the hope of ensuring that such mistakes do not re-occur in the future—or in the hope of correcting my own behavior, if it turns out that your style is correct and mine isn't. Please do tell me if any of my statements have been made in error, either here or in my previous post. Thanks for your time. -Silence 07:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Also, I'd love to know why you removed two of the examples (circa and de facto) from the phrases page. If you feel they're for some reason inappropriate, they can easily be replaced by different examples, but, though I know you're a busy man, we can't know your reasoning (and thus how to respond) unless you state it. -Silence 07:09, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sydney harbour
In the Natural harbor article (and in some other articles) there is the assertion: "There is no dispute that Sydney Harbour is the world's largest natural harbor". You were the editor that added (or perhaps copied) that assertion to the Natural Harbor article. Can you please cite your sources? I and at least one other editor strongly disagree - see Talk:Port Jackson#Confusion on largest natural harbour. Regards--A Y Arktos 11:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

hi, there is an organized campaign to save the above self-promotional vanity games-club page from deletion.... i'm wondering if you'd be willing to take a look and voice your opinion? normally i wouldnt care but (a) i hate organized campaigns from groups of users (especially when they have vested interests but dont declare them) and (b) when challenged about it, they suggested i try it myself! so here i am.... cheers!

[edit] The Office (US) move
Hey just curious about the move you made to The Office (United States). I couldn't find any dicussion about it, and the Naming Conventions state that "well-known acronyms such as "US" or "UK" are encouraged, to minimize typing. So, the preferred usage is Great Northern Railway (US)". Should it be changed back or am I missing something? Mrtea (talk) 22:00, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Hi again. I was hoping you would have gotten back to me by now because it would appear you've read my message. I think I'm going to move the page back- just because I can't seem to find any reason for the move in the first place (plus it goes against the naming conventions and the reasons listed at WP:MOVE.
Also note this discussion[Hah didn't notice you were actually involved in that one. Still it looks like the concensus agrees with "US" for now, doesn't it?]) None of the "What links here" links have been corrected either so the whole thing seems sort of odd to me. Anyway, since your an admin, can you go ahead and delete The Office (United States) after my move? Thanks :) Mrtea (talk) 04:36, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Annapolis Picture
Hi - you drew my attention to the FPC page for the Annapolis picture - are you asking me to vote? Nrbelex (talk) 02:47, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Revert?
Any reason you reverted my addition of the {{mergeto}} tag on Case Western Reserve University School of Law? If you disagreed, you should have put a note on the talk page, rather than reverting it. The point is to open a discussion, and if the consensus was to leave it alone, then so be it. Your move closes off any such discussion. Looks to me like the article should be a paragraph in the parent school's article. | Klaw ¡digame! 03:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Treaty of Paris (1814)

[edit] Proposal alert!
I have officially proposed to split the "9/11 conspiracy theories" article, with the two most in depth areas being moved to separate articles at Allegations of Jewish or Israeli complicity in 9/11 and Allegations of U.S. government complicity in 9/11. Please check out the discussion at Talk:9/11_conspiracy_theories#Proposal_to_split_this_article. Thank you. Blackcats 21:34, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Coffee cup.JPG
Hi there. There seems to be a bit of licensing confusion over Image:Coffee cup.JPG. I see the image has come from the Spanish Wikipedia, but could you try to provide proper licensing info. too? Also, we really need the original source if it's a fair use image. Someone's tagged it as {{no source}}, and I don't know whether it'll be around much longer. Thanks in advance, Rob Church Talk 19:39, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Culture of Asia
Hi, please see my comments on the talk page of Culture of Asia. Middle East is a part of Asia, and reference to religions originating in the Middle East or in the regions contiguous to the Middle East and forming part of Asia, should certainly find a place in the article. May be I am partly wrong, but not completely. Awaiting your further comments. Thanks. --Bhadani 14:38, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for your kind response. As suggested by you, I may create at least a stub about the Culture of the Middle East, and if someone creates this - I would surely participate. I wish you happy new year 2006. --Bhadani 16:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:God of War block
I see you have blocked this user indefinitely for trolling. Could you provide some evidence of the trolling, and explain both why the block is indefinite, and why I can see no warnings from you or explicitly about trolling on his talk page.-gadfium 03:36, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- Another user asked me to look into this also. I'm guessing it was this which triggered the (well deserved) block. However, I don't think an indefinite block on someone with some constructive (more or less) edits is sanctioned by the blocking policy. Especially without warning and when no previous blocks have been placed. --CBD ☎ ✉ 04:19, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I've raised the matter at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Indefinite_block_of_God_of_War. Please respond there.-gadfium 05:17, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- And now I see you unblocked him about an hour ago. I would have preferred if you'd posted a comment, but never mind.-gadfium 05:22, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Can you upload your improved version of "F-16 Fighting Falcons above New York City" (Image:F-16 Fighting Falcons above New York City v2.jpg) to Commons under the orginal filename (Image:F-16 Fighting Falcons above New York City.jpg)? In this way we can use one image, one filename, and one project location. Warmest regards --Neutralitytalk 04:31, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to overwrite the original image or not. Has there been a discussion on how to handle multiple versions of images on the FP nomination page? ~MDD4696 05:13, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Would you be willing to support my nominee for WP:COTW. The article is Invasion which is an important term for military knowledge.

[edit] monobook.js
Hello, I have a couple questions for you regarding my monobook.js file. As I can't write or read whatever language(java?) the monobook entries are in, I decided to just steal someone else's monobook(.js). What I want to do is add a few tabs to the page, one for sending my vandal warning message one for showing their edit count, and one to bring up the last diff. I am not how much of this is possible, so after experimenting a little, I asked Essjay(who has returned!) who directed me to the user scripts wikiproject. I chose you from the members list. So if you could help me I would very much appreciate it, Thanks

[edit] User talk page policy
You might be interested in a debate currently taking place regarding Template:Vblock. Some of the discussion is also on User talk:Jguk. Apparently, there are some questions as to whether a user is guilty of vandalism by removing outside comments from his/her own User Talk page. Most of the discussion so far centers on blatant vandals, but the principles involved affect good-faith users as well. Given the policy you have posted at the top of your own Talk page, I thought that you might be interested in the situation. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 13:18, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] University of Michigan - FARC
I saw that you nominated the article for Featured Article removal. However, I looked at the article's talk page and was wondering why there has been no further discussion concerning the POV problems. Usually, FARC is done as a last resort if you cannot be able to locate who was responsible for getting the article to FA in the first place. I am willing to repair the issues that you have with the article, but placing the article through FARC without letting the article's FA nominator know about and not discussing it first makes the nomination, in my opinion, invalid.

Hello Neutrality, why did you move the Wikipedia:Title Neutrality proposal, that had begun voting, to my userspace a few days ago? You never offered an explanation and have been rather quiet lately.

Is there some reason for changing the usual "See also" section to the {{seealso}} template? I'd not seen the latter before, and on the whole prefer the former more flexible and less techie version. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:18, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- I think that it is best not to create a new "see also" section unless it is for three or more links; I just think that the template {{seealso}} looks much better. Keep in touch. Warmest regards --Neutralitytalk 22:11, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

- Doesn't the use of the template involve either a prediction that there won't be any more "see also" links or a willingness to make life difficult for editors who are unfamiliar with such templates? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Cid Statue Burgos Spain
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Cid Statue Burgos Spain. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 06:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An Esperanzial note
As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.
In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)
Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Celestianpower háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Cid_Statue_Burgos_Spain
Thanks for uploading Image:Cid_Statue_Burgos_Spain. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] Ashibaka and RfA for community review
I'm reading proposed decisions in the pedo userbox affair and saw your comment "Community review shoudn't hurt then; I trust RFA" with respect to Ashibaka re-applying for adminship. Tossing him back to RfA two weeks from now (should he re-apply then) is little better than the Stevertigo case. He will be raked over the coals at RfA and fail badly. RfA works very hard to find what is wrong with a candidate rather than what is right. This wrong is well sufficient enough to derail any RfA attempt at any time in the near future. The community already judged that Ashibaka could be trusted with the tools. I think it's incumbent on ArbCom to decide if his transgression and subsequent learning from the experience warrants his being desysopped. If you leave that decision to RfA, the decision will be to not promote him. A susbsequent successful RfA would require more than a year to go by before a chance of success would arise.
Please note; I've never interacted with Ashibaka. I have no vested interest in this editor. I also have no particular interest in the pedo box affair other than as a casual spectator. I'm just concerned about your comment of "trust[ing]" RfA. --Durin 15:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mandate/Arbitration
Hi, you have said that the SimonP case is outside your mandate because it was a content dispute.
However, it is specifically not a content dispute. The content dispute between SimonP, me, and several others, has been the subject of several attempts to gain a consensus, which has been generally consistent, and generally regarded to reach consensus.
What is at dispute is that SimonP is, in our (Me, Radiant, Thyrduulf, InShanee, and others) opinion, ignoring this consensus, and attempting to assert ownership of several hundred articles (which the consensus and dispute were about).
It is the alledged WP:OWN violations that we are essentially concerned about, and would like ArbCom to settle. --Victim of signature fascism | help remove electoral corruption 18:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Duplicates of: Violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
Hi Ben: The following four articles (lists actually) have duplicate articles that need to be merged into them. See the "merged into" notices on:
- Violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 2000 (has three duplicates);
- Violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 2001 (has one duplicate);
- Violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 2002 (has two duplicates);
- Violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 2003 (has two duplicates).

[edit] Another Esperanzial note...
Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".
The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.
Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

[edit] Ted Wilkes has violated his probation
User: Ted Wilkes has violated his probation, as he is continuing edit warring and has removed content from the Nick Adams page which deals with Adams's supposed homosexuality. See, for instance, [2], [3], [4], [5]. Wilkes also included some additional passages in the Boze Hadleigh article which try to denigrate this author who has written on the homosexuality of celebrity stars. See [6]. The arbcom clearly said that "Ted Wilkes and Wyss are banned from any article regarding a celebrity regarding which there are significant rumors of homosexuality or bisexuality..." and that "Ted Wilkes and Wyss are banned from making any edit related to a person's alleged homosexuality or bisexuality." See [7] and [8]. Wilkes also removed an external link to a Crime Magazine website which includes the best account of Nick Adams's life, presumably because this webpage makes mention of Adams's supposed homosexuality. See [9]. Onefortyone 03:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
-
- User:Ted Wilkes has again violated his probation, although he had been blocked for doing so yesterday. He is still calling me a liar. This is certainly a personal attack. He has deleted some passages concerning Nick Adams's supposed homosexuality and an external link from the Nick Adams page, although he is banned from making any edit related to a person's alleged homosexuality or bisexuality. See [10] and [11]. See also his aggressive behavior on the Talk:Nick Adams page. This is unacceptable. Onefortyone 19:33, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
I have two things to say.
- While I agree User:Ted Wilkes has violated his ban, Onefortyone is also violating his probation with all these dubious edits to the sexuality section of the article. I humbly suggest that both be given clear warnings to cease and desist from any sort of editing in the article for now and that neither be blocked unless it becomes necessary as a preventative step to enforce the existing ruling (which I strongly disagree with but respect in terms of process).
- I think the RfAr should be re-opened, there is much to discuss and resolve. The last RfAr has not worked. Wyss 19:39, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
-
- User:Wyss has now accused me of being a sockpuppet of User:Karl Schalike (though, according to CheckUser, Karl Schalike is a sockpuppet of Ted Wilkes), and she again accuses me of fabricating texts, of being a troll etc., as she did in the past. She says:
- User:Karl Schalike, like you, is a single topic editor (the very same topic and writing style, by the bye). Given your contribution history, for all I know User:Karl Schalike is a sockpuppet invented by you to for the purpose of making your wonted accusations of sockpuppetry while at the same time furthering your own narrow agenda of violating WP's writen sourcing policies and for the xth time, merely having been published or the presence of a PhD after an author's name do not of themselves automatically qualify sources for citation in articles under WP policy.
- Moreover, multiple editors and admins have shown many of your article edits to be either fabricated from whole cloth or taken from sources which were similarly fabricated, never mind the vast quantities of repetitive and disruptive material you have posted to article talk pages. Please review WP:TROLL and WP:Sockpuppet, which I think apply to your edits on Wikipedia...
- See [12]. I would say that this is a personal attack. This user, who is placed on Wikipedia probation (see [13]) seems to behave as aggressively against me as she did in the past. Onefortyone 19:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello, the logo category of images is heinously huge. So myself and some others have been trying to sort it - but there seems to be some glitch that a lot of the logos are still showing up in the logo section and the subcat, even after the {{logo}} has been removed from the image page. Also, the logos sometimes don't appear in the subcat at all. Do you know what could be causing this?

[edit] A request
I don't know how informed you are about my arbitration case of last November, but I thought I'd contact you about it because you are the only arbitrator who has ever shown any willingness to be reasonable or moderate towards me. In the case EK2, which preceded the current case I'm dealing with, you intervened to enable me the opportunity of appeal after two months. (The appeal that followed was successful and eventually led to the full restoration of my editing rights regarding article content.) In the current case, EK3, I have not been given the opportunity of appeal at any date, and the sentence will not expire until November 2006. Four months have now passed; I have appealed to Jimbo, who has twice agreed to hear my appeals but has never actually done so, despite months of requests; I have appealed to the ArbCom itself, and have been rebuked rather sharply. What I am left with is to ask individuals to put in a good word for me, nudge the arbs toward hearing an appeal or at least offering me an appeal date. I would hope even my harshest critics, even those who believe that I was genuinely in the wrong, would have enough respect for my contributions to find distaste with the way I've been beaten so mercilessly into the dirt over this. Therefore I want to ask you if you'll communicate with the arbs on my behalf regarding a potential appeal. Everyking 09:12, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Could you please give a valid reason for blocking Rookiee, as "pedophile trolling" is not covered in the wikipedia blocking policy. Also, after looking up both the articles for pedophile and trolling, I Believe that even if this were a valid reason for blocking someone, Rookiee would not be guilty of such an offense, as all the edits of his that I have seen have been of a high standard despite his controversial POV.
If there is no valid reason for this block (as I suspect), then you owe it to him to both unblock him and apologise for blocking him in the first place. = Silent War = 06:49, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Native American culture
Hi! I see that you have just moved Portal:Culture of Indians to Portal:Native American culture. While this move may have some foundings such as Wikipedia naming conventions (or whatever) but you apparently didn't even take a single look at the results. The WikiPortals utilise a very sophisticated syntax and should be moved together with associated subpages. You didn't move them as well which resulted in the portal being flooded with red links (as subpages are referred to per relative paths). This is confusing at least, especially because while I have some experience and have helped to start up the portal, the actual maintaner is apparently a newbie user that could become discouraged. I trust that the move was reasonable and will now proceed with moving other subpages as well and suggest that you expand your knowledge regarding Wikipedia:Portal.

[edit] Copy of Message at User talk:Mushroom
I am the wife of User:Danny B., as he advised the Wikipedia Welcomer User:Wiki alf and we log in from the same office computer. We don’t contribute all that often and so it came as quite a surprise to Danny to find himself blocked by you and this message on his user page:
- This user is a sock puppet of Ted Wilkes, as established by Wikipedia:Requests for CheckUser/Archive/March 2006#Ted Wilkes (talk • contribs) and related accounts,
Because you provided no explantion for your actions on his talk page, it took me some time to track it down. At the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard [15] you wrote:
- "See this request for CheckUser: Ted Wilkes, Danny B. and Karl Schalike are the same person." Mushroom (Talk) 06:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I note that this statement by you was posted immediately after Danny complained on the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents [16] about vandalism by Onefortyone which you did nothing about.
However, at Wikipedia:Requests for CheckUser/Archive/March 2006 User:Sam Korn who did the checking said only:
- "Ted Wilkes, Danny B. and Karl Schalike appear likely to be the same."
Your action appears to have been based on a message left on your talk page by User:Onefortyone [17], someone on probation who I see has been banned by User:Stifle from editing certain articles for a time as result of his repeated violations of his probation and someone that numerous others have complained about. (User:MrDarcy, User:Arniep, User:Lochdale, User:Func, User:DropDeadGorgias and if I looked a little further, I'm swure I would find plenty more).
Mushroom, I think it is right to assume that a Wikipedia:Administrator has the responsibility for stating facts, not making quick guesses to spin there own version of what User:Sam Korn who did the checking said. Your rush to judgment has forced me to do a lot of searching all over Wikipedia for no reason. I will unblock my husband and place copies of this message on the talk page of each member of the Arbitration Committee.
Just for the record, because my husband has an interest, I am the one who pointed him to the non-encyclopedic material being pushed by User:Onefortyone after I came across a nonsensical contradiction in on of the articles he edited. I also come from a small city with one of the highest number of writers per capita in Canada and where Wikipedia has a high profile and where I know from the local newspaper(s) and business/social associations that there are a number of Wikipedia editors. - Cynthia B. 19:52, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
- In my opinion, Cynthia B. is identical with User:Ted Wilkes alias User:DW alias User:JillandJack. Both Cynthia B. and DW/JillandJack or Ted Wilkes contributed to the following articles: [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24],etc. This suggests that DW alias Ted Wilkes has created many more sockpuppets, as DW did in the past.

[edit] Societal Attitudes Towards Homosexuality
Ben,
The article "Societal attitudes towards homosexuality" is being used, not for the benefit of the reader, but to promote the agenda of a well-organized group of gay advocates. I can provide you with many examples if you would like. I have gone through all of the proper channels to raise a red flag about this.
The first item on the "workshop" page is a request to "remove the article" [25]. But, so far, that option has not been added to the "proposed remedies" section of the "requests for arbitration" page [26].
I hope that you will seriously consider adding this remedy to "proposed remedies" section, as that is the only remedy that will actually correct the problem.
