Tree shapingThanks for voicing your opinion on the NPOVN, and the Tree shaping talk page. I have removed the Artistic controversy and changed it to Naming of art form with a quote by Ivan Hicks, I paraphrased the author's feeling about the word, with cites. I have removed 3 instances of Arborsculpture from the article. I going to leave the rest for now and work on checking the cites for reliability. Blackash have a chat 15:08, 8 September 2010 (UTC) The weirdest thing just happenedLane, I finally got your e-mails from the East Africa case, apparently Gmail lost them somehow. Wish I would have gotten your warning about striking option one a lot sooner we could have avoided that whole row. Ronk01 talk 15:09, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Re: WarningHi, am I fine to strike out your warning you gave me, because it seems your edit was reverted, I think its because I'm no longer on the Huggle whitelist, and you reverted my revert.. feel free to check the history :) --LcawteHuggle (talk) 16:51, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:28, 20 September 2010 (UTC) Your involvementCan you please continue your part in the discussion at Category talk:Hindu terrorism? If it is just left to Pectore and myself (and we are opposed to each other's opinion), then there will definitely be no consensus made. SilverserenC 22:29, 22 September 2010 (UTC) Meth Project Minor EditsHi Bluerasberry, I totally understand your concern over removing information; it would be a great help, however, if you could redo your edit so that it undoes the removal, instead of the other four changes (many of which contain verb tense changes, and replacing "MMP" with "Montana Meth Project". It would also be helpful if you could undo your edits so that the first paragraph explains that there are seven state programs as of 2010 (not 2009). Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notevenonce (talk • contribs) 22:08, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Renaming of categoryI have proposed here to rename Category:Hindu terrorism to Category:Hindutva terrorism, as to be more accurate to the meaning that the terrorism is politically and nationally motivated and not religiously motivated. Please join the discussion. SilverserenC 22:24, 4 October 2010 (UTC) Your Comment on Talk Tree shaping pageHi, I thought you may be interested in the fact that your comment on Tree shaping talk page has been taken out of context and used to give the impression of support for removal of cite text. Link Blackash have a chat 01:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Thanks for coming and clarifying exactly what you thought on the talk page. I did put back the Alternative names section and give my reasoning on the talk page, if you want links to diffs or stuff in the history that I have referred to let me know and I find them. I left your other changes in place. Blackash have a chat 09:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC) Edit to "Lady Mastermind - Powers and abilities"Hey. Sorry about that. You messaged me on my edit on Lady Mastermind's page; specifically, her powers and abilities. I was adding on to the part where it is already mentioned that "She also carries two handguns in the belt of her X-Men uniform. These are not illusions." I thought the last bit about them not being illusions was a touch of humor, and just thought I'd play around with that bit. You know, extend the humor. Sorry if it wasn't appropriate. -"roundglasskeys" 60.51.89.90 (talk) 15:57, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

re: Daniel J Smith;The featured person is a management director of Athlone Group - already on wikipedia, how can this not be suitable for wikipedia if Athlone Group is already approved? Marcel8hudson (talk) 22:35, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Yes, in fact there are several news references including a yahoo news release ; http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20101217/bs_prweb/prweb4904214 and also americanbankingnews.com Marcel8hudson (talk) 23:11, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Yes I believe I understand, so how about if I create an article about the company with reference to the news? (the american banking site quoted the same news) - and then re-add the individuals page later if/when I find suitable notability? Thx Marcel8hudson (talk) 23:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Thermos.pngThanks for uploading File:Thermos.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:06, 1 January 2011 (UTC) Thanks for your visit from NPOVThank you for visiting from the NPOV forum concerning POV at the "chemtrail conspiracy theory" page. I found an article that might be useful in my argument that chemtrails are being used to refer to geoengineering, and not always by conspiracy theorists. It seems like an article that would work as RS, but the POV problem becomes obvious when you consider how the congressperson might feel being included in "conspiracy theory" when she is addressing geoengineering (an absolute undisputed fact). Thank you very much for any help you can offer...
Sorry, make that 'former state senator' rather than congressperson. 174.74.68.103 (talk) 03:32, 10 January 2011 (UTC) Warningi never edited durham public schools page infact i never even visited it until i saw the warning —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.53.119 (talk) 05:33, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Deleting new material, rather than flagging and discussing issues to be improvedHello -=- I left a post under the discussion for Salmon as well, but I want to ask you to revert the deletion of material from a student, new contributor to Wikipedia. I have asked my students in a conservation course to contribute at least some of their case study projects to Wikipedia. I am simulataneously editing their material, and have both already gone over Wikipedia's rules and best practices, as well as reminding them of these - and those of good scholarship in general - in my edits. Students mess up. This fellow has posted with a bias (violating NPOV) and is weak in his citation use. It would be more helpful to flag the entry rather than immediately remove it. It has confused him and has a pretty huge psychological effect once he understood what happened. A flag is as effective, I think, and if ignored, then you can remove the offending section, but to remove it first makes a new user feel very, very much excluded. I'd appreciate your reverting his text. Best wishes, Martha Groom, UW BothellBothell130 (talk) 17:10, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Blackash have a chat 00:03, 11 March 2011 (UTC) Speedy deletion declined: Talk:International AIDS Vaccine InitiativeHello Bluerasberry, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Talk:International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: G2 - not a test page, the comment could be removed as off-topic but the article talk page need not be deleted. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 12:05, 28 March 2011 (UTC) Category talk:HIV prevention tools - citation neededHi Blueraspberry The UK has excellent prevention resources, particularly the detailed reference book (with full citations) 'HIV Prevention'. http://www.aidsmap.com/Prevention/cat/1452/ The book is available free online and is regularly updated (click the book image). That should be good for a broad HIV prevention tools citation I think. I'll respond to your other request in HIV Prevention regards Skinscribe Manchester, England — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skinscribe (talk • contribs) 14:22, 29 March 2011 (UTC) HIV Prevention /* Sorry that I am without references */ Good external linksHi Blueraspberry Really pleased to see you working on filling the HIV prevention gap in WP 'I would really like to find is some list somewhere from a WP:RS which has all of these strategies for prevention organized in a list.' I think the excellent UK site aidsmap does just what you need http://www.aidsmap.com/Prevention/cat/1452/ neatly lists prevention topics: Topics in this section * Condoms and lubricant * Prevention of mother-to-child transmission * Injecting drug use * Circumcision * PEP * PrEP * Behaviour change interventions * Microbicides * Vaccines * Treatment as prevention * Spermwashing * Epidemiology and behaviour and their brilliant book 'HIV Prevention' is here online http://www.aidsmap.com/resources/Preventing-HIV/page/1412415/
May I suggest some sources for developing HIV Prevention, HIV Prevention Tools and the pages within this?
- for working with gay/bi/men who have sex with men in England, 'Making It Count' http://www.chapsonline.org.uk/Who-we-are/Making-it-count Making It Count Briefing Sheets are handy summaries of the evidence on important HIV prevention and sexual health issues for gay/bi/MSM. already available are * Using fear in HIV prevention * Herpes * LGV * Gonorrhoea, chlamydia and non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) * Hepatitis C * Social marketing. Future Briefings will soon be added for * Poppers * Microbicides * PEP * Undiagnosed HIV infection. Making It Count Briefing Sheets http://www.sigmaresearch.org.uk/go.php?/projects/gay/mic_briefing_sheets/
England's Department of Health funds this work with gay/bi/MSM men and with Black Africans living in England. In practice these prevention strategies and working documents are used across the UK.
Preventing mother to baby transmission - the British HIV Association has Guidelines http://www.bhiva.org/PregnantWomen2008.aspx and the position statement 'BHIVA and CHIVA Position Statement on Infant Feeding in the UK' http://www.bhiva.org/BHIVA-CHIVA-PositionStatement.aspx They have other useful Guidelines here http://www.bhiva.org/PublishedandApproved.aspx including 'UK Guidelines for the management of sexual and reproductive health of people living with HIV infection (2008)' which addresses some aspects of onward transmission and, PEPSE Guidelines http://www.bhiva.org/PEPSE-Consultation.aspx
- reduce the % of people who are undiagnosed - reduce the length of time people remain undiagnosed, where high levels of late diagnosis is also a significant issue for unaware onward transmission - increase the detection of people with highly infectious acute infection - help people at risk recognise when they may have acute infection and get tested / be especially careful to avoid onward transmission - improve clinicians' ability to recognise both acute and symptomatic HIV, and not be embarrassed about asking about risk behaviours and to recommend testing - make HIV testing routine and opt-out rather than opt-in in higher prevalence areas
I recommend that you consider page(s) specifically addressing the prevention of onward transmission needs of people diagnosed with HIV - “Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention” from UNAIDS http://www.unaids.org/en/resources/presscentre/featurestories/2010/march/20100326phdp2/ has links to the Publications: - Positive Health,Dignity and Prevention, and - Advancing the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Human Rights of People Living with HIV and see the work of the 'Global Network of People Living with HIV' on this http://www.gnpplus.net/en/programmes/sexual-and-reproductive-health-and-human-rights
I recommend a page on Treatment Adherence Treatment adherence makes a huge difference to the likelihood of HIV transmission by people diagnosed with HIV who are on treatment with an undetectable viral load; good adherence is therefore an element in any effective 'combination-prevention' approach to HIV prevention among people diagnosed with HIV; the expectations on clinicians are set out here http://www.bhiva.org/Adherence2001.aspx

- Sexual Assault guideline (2011) - March 2011 : Draft HIV PEPSE guideline (2011) (in collaboration with BHIVA) - Feb 2011: Draft UK Guidelines on Safer Sex Advice (2011) [for use in STI clinics, by doctors and health advisers]
- prosecutions for exposure and transmission - the role of stigma and discrimination around HIV, and also sexuality, IDU - anxiety, depression and other aspects of mental ill-health (issues of self esteem etc) - alcohol and drug use, including poppers - poverty, social exclusion, social disadvantage, poor educational attainment, young people in state care, and inexperienced/poorly educated young people - poor state sexual health education (especially of gay/bi youth)
This should keep you busy best regards from another rainy city Skinscribe (talk) 16:30, 29 March 2011 (UTC) Working on itGot your message here and I think I can review the following articles for content as well as Wikipedia style and tone:
I will take a look at the rest as soon as possible but I feel less capable to review those in content terms (as I have done some research in housing segregation). If you like I can give the remainder of articles a more thorough non-content review after the above three are done. I should be able to get to these tonight or tomorrow. Protonk (talk) 20:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Update on 3 articlesI left detailed comments on three articles (links below go directly to the review):
I may come back to Housing trust fund, Green building in the United States and Non-Profit Housing Development in the United States tomorrow but I don't feel I can provide any decent feedback on Residential Segregation. That article is much to big to cover in a detailed fashion and I don't see that much recent activity so it would be difficult to provide feedback which would mainly help students in your course working on the article. I hope my style of review fits your expectations. I reviewed the above article in the same manner as I would review any good article nominee except I refrained from offering a plethora of suggestions for additional sources or major new directions in content. If you are looking for an assessment which covers only Wikipedia specific problems and bright spot I can do that as well and email it to you or post it on your talk page but I feel such a review would be unsuitable for the article talk page. In general the three articles I looked at were good (certainly better than the average non-stub wikipedia article) but each had their own issues. Some due to the difficulty of the subject area (specifically with Housing quality and health outcomes in the United States) but some due to unfamiliarity with the markup and style expectations. I hope that helps. I'll check back when I have taken a look at some of the other articles. Protonk (talk) 06:04, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
one moreMore comments there than in the others but I feel that like the article on housing quality the goal of the trust fund article was pretty ambitious and considering that fact the editors did a good job. Protonk (talk) 22:42, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Green buildingThat article is a bit more problematic than the rest. I apologize for reviewing that one later in the queue because I suspect most of the students are done with substantive work on the articles now and this one may need some improvement. Protonk (talk) 23:11, 15 December 2011 (UTC) |
