[edit] Bates Method

I agree with you about the magazine link. But rather than edit war, please come to the bottom of the discussion page of that article and state your point. Also, consider some of the links I posted for you above. They will help you along here at Wikipedia. Welcome! I hope you stay. -- Levine2112 discuss 01:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Levine2112. I agree that we need to discuss this. It's a rare situation that such resources are available. --Ronz (talk) 01:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Given your username, you should probably look at WP:COI and WP:UN to be aware. --Ronz (talk) 16:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request

[edit] Please don't move my talk page comments again

I promise that I will not delete or move your talk page comments, as per WP:TALK. Please do the same for me. Please do not remove or move my talk page comments. Dlabtot (talk) 17:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I won't do it again without asking; however, reading WP:TALK, I don't see anything about merely moving comments from one part of a talk page to another. For sure, it warns against deleting or editing others' comments, but it's not clear if that includes merely moving part of a thread from one part of a page to another in order to emphasize specific topics. Note that I linked to the thread in which it started, so it's not as if I obscured your meaning. PSWG1920 (talk) 20:08, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
You don't need to ask; I'm telling you right now that the answer is no. Please leave my talk page comments alone. Dlabtot (talk) 21:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Is splitting threads in talk pages generally considered acceptable or not?  This doesn't seem to be addressed specifically in WP:TALK. PSWG1920 (talk) 00:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
In no way should you modify anyone's, even your own, talk page comments. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 00:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}}::Previous statement is inconsistent with WP:TALK, Good Practice, Centralized Discussion, which states:

If you find a fragmented discussion, it may be desirable to move all posts to one of the locations, removing them from the other locations and adding a link.

Splitting threads, though not specifically addressed in WP:TALK, is the same principle in reverse.

In general is that the thread or comment is made by another user, you are never allowed to edit in text from other users without consensus (also not to create a better layout, which is sometimes better) or consent from that user. sometimes discussions are moved to the right talkpage, always with leaving a link to, clear or do you need more info ? Mion (talk) 01:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, I would say if splitting threads is generally unacceptable, that needs to be made clear in WP:TALK. Also worth noting is that I started the thread in question. PSWG1920 (talk) 01:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Read the text, no editing in text from other users, including splitting .Mion (talk) 01:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
I am sure it is with the best intention, and a good splitting helps the discussion, however, some people changed with reformatting the layout also a thing or two, so thats why there is a general rule that discussions are not reformatted, Mion (talk) 01:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
More questions ?
I guess not, you've made your answer rather clear. Thank you. Anything further from me would just be argument. PSWG1920 (talk) 01:21, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
It was a good question, its actually the other way around, if its a long discussion, open a new thread, and point from there to all the earlier discussions, thats what you see many times like [here], here and here to support your point. Cheers. Mion (talk) 01:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfC

{{helpme}}Why has my Request for comment, filed several hours ago, not yet appeared here? Did I do something incorrectly? Or is it because there's already a different (unrelated) RfC on the same talk page? PSWG1920 (talk) 09:00, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, please check again, it appears to have appeared at the top of the page. --The Helpful One (Review) 10:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
{{helpme}}
I don't see it, but I do see the other RfC from that talk page. PSWG1920 (talk) 10:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
It is probably because there is a different unrelated one on the same page. Feel free to add your RFC to the list Alexfusco5 11:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Your wanting of me to review Bates method tags.

I found that all but the NPOV tag should stay, feel free to remove the NPOV tag if none object.  Atyndall93 | talk  09:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I admit I am a bit bewildered by your findings. See my response to you on the Bates method talk page. PSWG1920 (talk) 09:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
I have gone into more depth about the tags after your request on my talk page.  Atyndall93 | talk  09:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
