Mr C part two

Flo I have been out of town and haven't had much time to contribute here lately but thank you kindly for the links and info on State physician impairment programs. I thought this sort of riff raff ended 10 years ago. Astonishing.

Also, I saw where you removed three reference books/links I added to the cult article. I am going to address that on the talk page there. Basically - why? :-)

Anyhow, thanks again Mr Christopher 04:52, 30 March 2006 (UTC)Reply


Flo, I wrote this enormous narrative at the cult talk page and then thought it might be more appropriate here. I am still trying to figure out some of the norms of where these conversations belong. Feel free to copy or move this to the talk page (or my own) if you think it belongs elsewhere.

Here goes:

Flo, thanks for your reply and we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. And here is why - You wrote,
"I know for example that many people go to AA under the threat of penality like losing MD/RN lic., court mandated diversion programs, or a condition for parole. This is not something that someone would expect to happen with a cult"
Agreed. And that is not something that someone would expect to happen with a religion either. Yet in the 5 or so federal and state court cases where the religiosity and mandated attendance of Alcoholics Anonymous has been challenged, in each case A.A. has been found by the courts to be "a religion", "religious", and/or "religious movement" and thus ruled in favor of the plaintiff. The United States Supreme Court heard one of those contested cases and they too ruled for the plaintiff. Not exactly what one who goes to AA under the threat of penalty would expect. But the fact that the majority of people are not aware of this, and therefore would not expect it, does not mean it doesn't exist.
So what people may expect might not necessarily reflect what actually has been proven. And I don't think the majority opinion (whether positive or negative) ought to silence the observations, research findings and conclusions (opinions) from those minority voices who have not reached the masses.
And you said this article had sufficient cult/new religious movment cites, yet it does not have a single one related to popular recovery movements that are embraced by the masses. Movements that have been the subject of a significant body of work by legitimate researchers and even court cases. On the other hand, and correct me if I am mistaken, but I don't think anyone would object if I posted links to research regarding Scientology because popular opinion is not favorable towards Scientology. I think we live in a culture that is very uncomfortable at times examining "religious movements" that the majority perceives are benefitial. I think there is a resistance at times to examine these groups and the minority voice who has done the examination and posits conclusions that portray something other than widely held beliefs are viewed as negative. The negative "tag" is not based on the merits of the research done by the minority, but because the conclusions contradict the majority opinion and their expectations. As a Wiki reader, I am always interested in the ideas of both the majority and minority. That is how I reach my own conclusions and feel like I am making an informed decision.
And we're talking about links here, not offensive or POV article content that tries to dog AA. So in my own mind I thought these cites were highly relevant.
You know by now (or I hope you do) I have a good deal or respect for your opinion here and I have appreciated your input and support, but on this one you and I will have to agree to disagree. I am cool with that.  :-) Mr Christopher 07:34, 30 March 2006 (UTC)Reply


W.S. Gilbert

Right! Thanks for the help so far! I've checked the quotes I've used, and one MAY be in copyright, another definately is, but both of these seem to come under fair use, as they're short, to the point, and relatively far from the key reasons for getting the things they quote from anyway. The Quotes from La Viviandre are DEFINATELY out of copyright, since I got them from an ancient Victorian libretto I photocopied at the National Liberary of Scotland, and their author died in 1911. I've given my reasons for why I think the questionable quotes are fair use on the Discussion Page at that article. Have I done it correctly? Adam Cuerden 20:32, 31 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

The site at [1]] is run by United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians members. They have about a dozen folks they are mobilizing to vandalize that article. Just to let you know to expect vandalism and postings from several ranges from these folks. They have three active folks behaving as meatpuppets to vandalize the article. I tried to reason with them today (I doubt you folks speak Cherokee but I do and tried to restrain them) to no avail. The UKB Chief is apparently using this group for POV pushing to hide the embarrassments of the prosecutions and other materials. Just to to be a little bird and let you know what's up here. They are Cherokee so they won't stop. You need to go to indefinite blocks are it will just continue. 67.169.249.44 01:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi FloNight, Many thanks for creating the article on The Da Vinci Game - I really appreciate it! I went to update the arbitration page, but couldn't find it. Did you remove it from there? If so, thanks again, I wasn't sure where to start the discussion and that seemed the most intuitive place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aminto (talkcontribs)

Sounds good! I don't have any preference myself on what happens with the article, but if there's a good stub to be made there, great, and nice comments to Aminto, too.

neoplatonism & gnosticism

I have had this article reviewed by professor Moore. I have the email. I can forwatd it to you. Professor Moore is part of the international neoplatonic society. I have not add more to article because I am corresponding with him. Please of members http://www.isns.us/directory/america-canada/index.htm http://www.isns.us/directory/europe/index.htm

This is the whos who of philosophy. Goethian is EVERYTHING THAT PEOPLE HAVE CRITIZED WIKIPEDIA ABOUT. Your poster posts new age groups in California as sources for ancient greek culture (Noetic). Not greek scholars. He is openly made fun of online and wikipedia indirecty because of him. See the falk blog as one of his own examples. Because of some of the ridiculous nonsense articles(see the historically incorrect nonsense article- Gnosticism and the New Testament- for pure shame and embarassment) also because of the embaressingly stupid fighting on wikipedia I can not get scholars to come and post here. This article as well as the made up theory posted under plotinus' bio are fantastic examples. I was able to get this scholar [|Professor Moore] out of the kindness of his heart to review an article that a new age @#$% is now suggesting be DELETED. LoveMonkey 04:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

  Well Ms. Lolicon of 2006 is finally gone. What a long, tiring, distracting process. Unbe-freaken-lievable how many people think this image should be included who are not trolls or idiots. Fair-use activists wore me down on the IfD, but the overall problem is people who are like "Well in some cultures its OK to do such-and-such but not such-and-such, why should we delete this but not the Mohammed pictures, because after all who can say what's 'right' and 'wrong'?" (To which I feel like answering Um, how about people who have the moral sense that God gave sheep"). Not to mention political sense. Erg.

I notice that you're using fair use images on User:FloNight/DanielCD. However, please note that fair use of copyrighted images cannot be claimed outside mainspace articles - please could you therefore remove these? Thanks, CLW 10:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Spooky! Thanks, CLW 10:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes I understand what you're saying. No, I don't think that links to child porn should be included in articles. At Lolicon, I don't expect people to be reasonable about this. That leaves edit warring or an RfC. I think an RfC would be much the better path. True, you could lose, but if you can't win on an RfC from the whole community, you're sunk anyway. Here's what I drafted to post at talk:Lolicon. I didn't post it, awaiting your thoughts. If you want to post it in your words under your name, that would OK. More than OK really since, although I will surely support you, I don't especially want to be point man on this. But I'll post it myself if desired. If it is posted, my personal recommendation would be to wait a couple days for people to respond/blow of steam before beginning the RfC. Herostratus 20:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply


Here's what I'm thinking: the question of external links, not just in this article but in similar articles. Ought there not be a general standard or guideline about external links to objectionable material.

It could be argued that linking to websites of discussion forums and amateur art is not, in general, the function of an encyclopedia. While in many cases perhaps this can be either waived or, if controversial, discussed and decided by the editors involved in the article, on this page I'm not so sure. WP:EL provides some material but not a definitive answer. The talk page at WP:EL indicates that links to any fansites etc. at all is controversial at least.

Therefore I think that the question of disputable links should be taken to an RfC, not in any way with intent to be confrontational, but simply to get an advisory opinion from the larger community.


Re: Paulus RFAr

I certainly understand the case load, but we've been through two polls and a mediation already. I've offered several compromises and have bent over backwards many, many times as can clearly be seen in the talk pages -- I've continually conceded and redone my suggestions in the hopes that something would finally be accessible to them. But nothing will, and they are clearly not willing to compromise on the issue because every single "suggestion" they offer is a rewrite of the same paragraph that locks the point of the debate out over and over. They act as if they run the Aiken page because they feel they do. The POV is rampant and has crossed the line of reason. I certainly have no plans on dropping it, regardless of that being their ultimate goal. So I don't see a solution possible without intervention. Possibility of rejection or not, I can only hope that the admins realize that nearly a month of having a page protected and the pages upon pages of stuff in the talk show there's a problem that can't be handled between us. I just want this to be over with and short of leaving the debate (which I'm not going to do) I don't think it's ever going to end. - mixvio 03:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I followed all the outlines in the dispute resolution guideline, so I can't think of any steps I missed. This issue has been going on for over a month and during all this time I've tried very hard to manage the issue on my own. I'm not the only person arguing my position - not by a long shot, and if I were I'd let it go. But I'm the most prolific and it's immensely frustrating that the issue's been hijacked by people who run out to grab their friends and leave messages on forums to harass me. In response to your questions:
What are you trying to accomplish with the RFAr?
I'm trying to have the debate ended fully and completely. Note, that I don't want it ended with my side in-tact and victorious, I just want the issue decided. I feel that those of us in the debate are incapable of coming to an agreement on our own. I have placed a request for comments and some people took the chance to leave some; I will note in this that most of the ones who came to leave comments left comments in my favor. But regardless, whether my viewpoint is chosen or not, I don't think a solution is going to work without non-appellate intervention. I realize that the admins typically weigh-in on people conflicts, but I can't see any other process to decide content disputes. If it's not settled and taken out of our hands we'll be editing back and forth until we explode.
Are there other methods of dispute resolution that are more appropriate?
I tried all of the steps in the dispute resolution process, and after the failed mediation, the opinion of the mediator was the issue was damaged and not likely to be fixed by us. He suggested the admins.
Will the parties to the dispute be willing to listen to input from the wider Wikipedian community?
This is where I am unsure. I opened the issue to comments from others by posting the request but not as many people came as I hoped they would. I made the request because I feel if the consensus were clearer or there were a stronger majority one way or the other it would make the issue easier to deal with. Unfortunately it's split nearly down the middle. Regardless, while they claim that they'd listen to outsider input, I don't know if I believe they would. The main antagonists in the debate have an almost god-like, religious reverence and I think this issue has transcended into something much, much worse and deeper for them. As I said once, a neutral party would think that Paulus was accusing each of them of having unprotected sex with them with the way they act as if his allegations are a personal attack against themselves.
If yes, do you think a content Rfc is appropriate?
If a clearer consensus came out, or at least a supermajority, I would personally drop my dispute if the consensus/majority showed the view was strongly on their side. If they agreed to the same, there'd be no need for intervention, but unfortunately this hasn't happened.
If no, do you think a behavior Rfc is appropriate for the person not willing to listen to the opinion of the wider community?
If they refused to listen to the majority/consensus if it ruled against them, then ofcourse outside help would be necessary. - mixvio 04:25, 6 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, the email list is good. I suppose eventually it'll start collecting trolls too, although maybe not since it's moderated.

Yeah I wanted to make a statement on the email list in the next couple days re pedophilia and pedophilia POV on Wikipedia, and maybe point out the existance of the project in case any editors wanted to help out.

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #2

The Barnstar Brigade is a new program aimed at giving more very deserving yet unappreciated users barnstars. It will officially start on 2006-04-09, but signing up is encouraged before this date:
"Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated."
The Stress alerts program aims at identifying users who are stressed, alerting the community of thier stress and works in tandem with the Stressbusters at trying to identify causes of stress and eliminating them.
Information
Welcome to the second issue of the new format Esperanza Newsletter - we hope you still like it! This week, it was delivered diligently by our new dogsbody. MiszaBot (run by Misza13): any execution complaints should go to him. Content comments should be directed at the Esperanza talkpage. Thanks!
  1. The next elections: Approval voting as before and, also as before, an previous leadership member can run. Please submit your name for voting in the relevant section of this page. Voting starts on 2006-04-23 and ends on 2006-04-30. There will be three places up for grabs as KnowledgeOfSelf is leaving Wikipedia. Please see the previously linked page for full details.
  2. The Code of Conduct is now ready for extensive discussion! Specific comments should go to the Code of Conduct talk page, discussion of having one at all should be directed to the main Esperanza talk page.
  3. The current process for accepting proposals for new programs has been deemed fine. All Advisory Council members and the Admin Gen are to endevour to be bold when viewing discussion. If they feel that consensus has been reached, they will act accordingly.
A plea from the editor...
The propsed programs page is terribly underused! Please leave any comments, good or bad, on the page, to help us determine the membership's thoughts on the ideas there.
Signed...

DreamGuy, I'm doing a major rewrite/expansion to bring the article in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Please do not revert my edits for the next 24 hours. I think you will be pleased with the final product.

The image at the top of the article can not stay there. Magazine covers should not be used in this manner. We can use it if it is moved lower on the page next to text about her hometown. We need to make reference to the magazine article about her. Of course, I plan to put a different image at the top of the page. After I find some images, I will let other editors choose their favorite for the top of the page. : ) regards, FloNight talk 17:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

You know, you would have more credibility if, instead of just listing off a bunch of policies, you actually READ them. There's absolutely nothing at all about your claim that a magazine cover at the top of the page "cannot be used" and magically can be used if lower down on the page. At this point you are just throwing policies out hoping you sound like you know what you are talking about. For the record, I am specifically pretty well educated on copyright laws, so your attempt to BS me isn't going to work. DreamGuy 19:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, but no thanks...

For adding the "welcome" to my talk page, and the talk page itself.

I don't want a talk page, but I do appreciate the sentiment. I will keep it empty, and as soon as I can figure out how to delete it, I will do that (you could do me a favor and delete it for me, since you created it).

The animated graphic at the top of yours is interesting - it reminds me of my dissertation topic. It was about a problem in collaborative computer-mediated user interface technology. I hope you catch my drift.

There is plenty of collaboration in Wikipedia without me having a talk page. I value my privacy, and I prefer to balance it against my comments in this forum.

So, thanks, but no thanks.

Peace and love to you, Flo.

JohnOneOne, you can remove my welcome as you choose. Some people keep them, some remove them. But I think everyone at Wikipedia needs to have a user talk page. You can expect to get plenty of messages if you are activley editing Wikipedia. It is the method that editors use to communicate with each other. Some of the messages, like behavior warning, are suppose to stay visible.


If having a talk page is a big concern, I can refer you to someone else for their opinion. regards, FloNight talk 01:44, 16 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

(This is my back-handed way of saying Good job! Kudos! etc.) KillerChihuahua?!? 00:48, 22 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Old Skool Esperanzial note

Comment?

Hi FloNight. I wrote this: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pedophilia Article Watch#The downside of term expansionism. Does that change your thinking any, I was wondering.Herostratus 17:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Just another RFA thank you note

  Dear Flo, I appreciate your vote and your kind words in my RFA. It has passed with an unexpected 114/2/2 and I feel honored by this show of confidence in me. Cheers! ←Humus sapiens ну? 03:53, 26 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

My RfA

  Thank you for voting at my RFA. Even though you did not vote for me, your counsel was appreciated. In the next few months, I intend to work on expanding my involvement in other namespaces and try a few different subjects than in the past. - CTSWynekenTalk

Roses for you

Nice meeting and talking to you. Please have some roses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/FloNight --Bhadani 07:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I wanted to stop by and thank you for your constructive criticism of my RFA. It's helped, and is helping, to improve me as a wikipedian and an editor. I look forward to gaining your support in the future. Until then, keep on keepin on. SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 19:38, 29 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
