User talk:ACEOREVIVED

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is how ACEOREVIVED is likely to differ from his old "alter ego", ACEO:

Expect me to make fewer visits to the Village Pump, and to produce few (if any) new articles for Wikipedia. I am going to be using Wikipedia as a read-only resource primarily from now on - however, I simply thought I had better make a few amendments where I saw necessary to existing articles in Wikipedia. If I make any more edits, they are likely to relate to psychology or allied fields, such as parapsychology. In fact, most of my edits from now will probably be to the locus of control site. ACEOREVIVED 20:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)ACEOREVIVED 22:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, I shall confess, apart from psychology and allied disciplines, I have been making edits concerning another love of mine. I am very interested in the customs that exist on each day, and I have made some edits here, for example, I created the article on Punkie Night, and I did add the references to the poem by Thomas Hood on the article on November. However, most of my work on Wikipedia will probably be on psychology and allied disciplines - indeed, isn't looking at customs throughout the year related to another behavioural science, that of anthropology?

[edit] Your old username

Hi, in response to WP:VPR#Return under new username, I suggest you do the following:

  • Log in as User:ACEO and post an edit here confirming that this is your new username
  • Copy and paste the contents of the page User:ACEO onto User:ACEOREVIVED and perhaps add in details about how you have changed accounts
  • Make the page User:ACEO redirect to your new account by replacing the whole page with the text #REDIRECT [[User:ACEOREVIVED]]

If you like, I could help you with the second and third steps, but you will need to do the first step yourself. Bear in mind, however, that this will not reattribute the edits from ACEO to ACEOREVIVED, and the page history of the userpage will also not be transferred. If you would like any of this to also be transferred, then you will need to carry out a different method. Tra (Talk) 22:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC) Thank you, I seem to have moved a lot of content to my new userpage name now, and edited/ confirmed that any one who goes to ACEO should now look for ACEOREVIVED. Many thanks for your help, ACEOREVIVED 19:56, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category pages

You are incorrectly populating the category page Category:Critics of Freud. Putting the category at the bottom of the article is what places it in the category. Then you have to go to the category page and place a parent category or categories in it (such as Category:Psychology), to connect it to the category tree. What you did creates an infinite loop. Note my use of the leading colon to prevent this page from being put into the examples shown here. --Blainster 23:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ageing

Yes I believe it was I who removed that paragraph. It had stood for a while unsourced, and was off topic from the main thrust of the article. The article is about ageing and is trying to be culturally diverse with it. But 'traditional medicine' beliefs are out of the scope of this article IMO. --Monotonehell 00:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reading tip appreciated

I take note of your recommendation of Eysenck, H.J. and Wilson, G.D. (1973). The Experimental Study of Freudian Theories. But of course, my lack of knowledge about Eysenck is a very insignificant factor in why I felt the two categories didn't fit with Wikipedia's categorization scheme. __meco 06:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Batson

Thanks for greatly improving the article and the referencing. Have you tried in-line referencing yet? It works really well and looks better than Harvard. Give it a go. And yes, feel free to remove the reference tag. Welcome back! Gillyweed 22:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent [Deaths] Dust-up

I accept your apology. I'm sorry as well because I got a little touchy; I rarely ask questions for clarification out of fear that someone will make me feel stupid, so I took it a little more personally than most in that situation. Besides, I learned more about Wikipedia, which is always a good thing. I've been editing for two years and there is still so much to learn! SailorAlphaCentauri 16:06, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanksgiving (Canada)

Actually, according to the Britannica link at the bottom of the article, though it moved around before, Thanksgiving in Canada has been set to the second Monday of October ever since 1957. But, after verification, since your book is from 1977, it turns out that the second Monday of October in 1976 was October 11. If it's a book made for young readers by someone in the UK in those days, I imagine the only fact-checking done for this bit of trivia was to look at that one calendar.--Boffob 19:58, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BPS category

I've just suggested here that Category:Wikipedians_in_the_British_Psychological_Society, as a professional association rather than a club, might better be kept, as a subcategory of Category:Wikipedian_psychologists, rather than deleted outright (who knows - it might grow!). What do you reckon? --Paularblaster 01:12, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

This, or deletion, seem fine to me -- we're the only two members of the category, as you say, ACEOREVIVED, but I can't believe us BPSers aren't infiltrating the BPS more fully ;-) – Stuart. (Sjb90 | talk) 10:22, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
There seems to be an assumption that categories should serve to bring together people with common interests, and small categories won't serve that purpose well. But I see such a category as useful, in one sense, because it is small. I would never join this category (I'd have to lie to do so) but where else am I going to find a wikipedian who knows about psychology in Britain when I need one? --Paularblaster (talk) 23:09, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Advice

No problem, but the proper place for your proposal is at WP:COUNCIL/P. Best of luck. Regards, Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 02:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Julian Rotter

Hi! I'm working on criminology articles, with some work on the social learning theory page. I linked Julian Rotter and saw there was no page... only a redirect. So, now there is a page for him. I notice the good work you have done on the locus of control page. You are better capable of filling in that section of his biography, if you have the time and are interested. Otherwise, I will try. If the article can be expanded in the next few days, it can be submitted to WP:DYK. Cheers. --Aude (talk) 21:36, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you again for helping with the article. Regarding the question, is he still alive? I cannot find any evidence otherwise. He is listed as emeritus faculty at the University of Connecticut. [1] Also, I searched New York Times archives and Lexis-Nexis to make sure. Where 1987 comes up in my searches, I think that is when he retired. In 1993, he wrote an autobiography piece, which is listed in the "further reading" section of the article. If you find otherwise, then okay. Regarding WP:DYK, it is for new articles. (5 days old or less) Look on the "Did you know" section on the Main Page for examples of how it works. More examples at Wikipedia:Recent additions We could suggest something like,

"Did you know: ...that Julian Rotter developed the locus of control theory, which has been widely used in the psychology of personality?"

You may be able to word it better than I can. --Aude (talk) 21:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I have nominated the article, since we are coming up on five days since the article was created. The nomination is here: Template_talk:Did_you_know#Articles_created.2Fexpanded_on_December_8. It may go on the main page sometime tomorrow. Cheers. --Aude (talk) 01:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

The entry has been moved to Template:Did_you_know/Next_update. It should be on the main page later today. I hope the wording is okay. Cheers. --Aude (talk) 13:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your DYK nomination for Julian Rotter was successful

Updated DYK query Did you know? was updated. On December 13, 2007, a fact from the article Julian Rotter, which you recently nominated, was featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid64 (talk) 20:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for the help on the article on Frederick Madison Allen

Thank you for the help with the article I started recently (January 2008) on Frederick Madison Allen. I did not have a lot of information about this man, but wanted to start the article to avoid a confusing wikilink in the article on diabetic diet. It was good of you to increase this article and to add some sources, and I see that you come from New Jersey - did this man work there, or in Massachusetts, or in both? I have read different things in different sources! Also, I think you put in the wikilink to Elliott P. Joslin - I did not know that there was an article on him, so thank you for that. Thank you again for your help on this article, it is much appreciated. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

  • I was able to find a great deal of information about Allen from articles in the New York Times. The Times has made almost all articles from 1981 on and some articles from before then available fro free to all. As a subscriber, I can also view a limited number of pay articles per month. Allen was covered extensively during his heyday, including coverage of the opening of his clinic in Morristown, New Jersey. He was also discussed extensively in an article from a few years ago that I had remembered reading where I had first heard of this starvation diet. I hope that helps. While you have already done most of the work, I was glad to expand the article. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Alansohn (talk) 16:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 31 January 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Frederick Madison Allen, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Religious programming proposal at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals

Two points. One, if you yourself would like to do some of the work regarding these subjects, it would help to add your own name to the list of interested parties. Two, it would help if you were to perhaps a bit more clearly define the intended scope of your proposal. Would it be, basically, dealing with broadcast media religious programs, like radio and television, all broadcast media, including podcasting and internet broadcasting and videorecordings, and the like. Also, would you be limiting it to simply Christian programming or programming of all religions. The latter point is important, as it would determine which particular religion project or projects it would be a "child" project of. It would probably be a joint subproject of whichever media project(s) and religion project(s) are appropriate, but it would help a lot to have a slightly clearer definition of the scope of your proposal. Thanks. John Carter (talk) 20:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. I know that in the US some programs like the Sacred Heart Program have been on both TV and radio, so that does name sense. But in that event, we should try to spell out in the proposal that the group is intended to deal with radio, TV, and, mabye, for all I know webcasting and the like. That would make it a bit clearer for others who might be interested as well. John Carter (talk) 23:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Category:Religious programmes

I'm the editor that has expanded the above Category, including a programme from Australia Compass (TV program) Kathleen.wright5 23:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I have expanded the Category:Religious programmes to 82 articles. Kathleen.wright5 05:42, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I have recategorized the articles that were in Category:Religious programmes, please see below. Kathleen.wright5 13:36, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Redundancy

The aforementioned category is redundant, as it already covers the same topics already covered in Category:Religious television series and a new category, Category:Religious radio programs, as well as more-specific subcategories within. Please be more careful making categories in the future, and double check to see if similar categories exist. -- azumanga (talk) 03:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Respect within passion

I am curious after reading the paradox of passion as to where respect fits in. Some forms of passion have the aspect of love-hate. Obviously love would include respect if it is true love. but the hate side is debatable. Any comments from others will be greatly appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.146.27.112 (talk) 07:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Respect within passion cont'd

To further clarify my question......in regards to the love-hate thing; defining a hateful attitude during the "hateful" phase if you will,the negativity of hatefulness can not be love. Thanking you in advance for your input. SVB Definitely thought provoking!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.146.27.112 (talk) 07:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
