Copyrights

While the paladin press page might have been copyrighted I just want to say that the articles on American Dragon and Isometric exercises were not found at the sites you specified. And I think that to an extent the widespread use of those articles across the internet is proof that there is no copyright. If you run a search of the text I posted you eill find it on multiple sites. And finally while I apoligize if I violated any copyrights my only intention was to get the articles started so others could edit them.--Gary123 23:28, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC) --Gary123 23:28, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but it looks to me like they were. Everything in the first paragraph of the american dragon article is copied from this site, and the isomorphic exercises article was copied word for word from the first section of this site.

I have no doubts that the articles would be helpful to wikipedia, but we can't have copyright violations here, no matter what.

When I said that I didn's copy them from the sites you specified what I meant was that they were taken from sites other than the ones you mentioned. Which means that these passages are pretty widespread across the internet especial the isometric exercise article which is word for world in a huge amount of websites.--Gary123 00:05, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Requests for Assitance

A bit of trouble over at Biofilm Sinusitis

I am very new here. I posted a section over under sinusitis, bringing attention to several recent articals which report that biofilms were found on almost all specimans of tissue surgically removed during sinus surgery.

All of the references are to articals from accredited Medical Journels about work done on human patients.

A Admin named David Rubin, who is a docter, first tidied my amaturish attempt rather nicely, but now he seems to be tuneing up to have it deleted because I am "advocating a position", and have thus violated policy? And he is talking about experiments on mice not being applicable. I did not mention any research done on mice.

Everything is cited except I restated material from two sections the the effect that there is allergic musin and the goo that bacteria in a bilfilm make, and at present there is no way to tell the difference between the two. Cites to support those statements were given previously. I just did not cite at the end of every sentance. I don't think that advances a position. Just states what is currently a fact.

I have tried to contact this guy, replied to his talk page and e-mailed him but I am new here and don't know all the bells and whistles, routes and protocals or even how to get my name to show up. ```` thanks Truehawk Sunday 2:23 EST USA

Hi, thanks for offering you input here re Sinusitis

Aside from the minor wikistyling & citation mark-up issues (which were easier enough to tweak), the problem with the additional information is not that any of information is untrue (the cited papers are real enough), but rather problems of expanding a limited amount of research into a relatively large section (compared to the rest of discussion on the types of sinusitis) as if absolute scientific medical truth. A few studies on their own do not establish an accepted (real-world) change in medical understanding, investigation & treatment.

• Hence Truehawks series of additions 19th Dec, and my purly wikistyling/reformating of citations on 19thj Dec
• Truehawk then did some copyediting and added some additional information upto 22nd Dec]
• My main adjustment to the wording or phrasing was in a series of edits to history which reworded the latest additions to correct what the cited newspaper had reported upon, and then remove the uncited speculation as how research in biofilms will alter clinical practice (they may of course in due time have this effect, but for now this is speculation and not established majority/accepted opinion). Finally the phrasing around the "medical community" antiquated opinion seemed belittling, and so I rephrased.

Truehawks assessment in their additions is that the biofilms hide the presence of a bacterial infection from conventional microbiological swabs and alter their sensitivities to various antibiotics. Hence Truhawk would maintain that otolaryngologists are being stubborn, cabalistic, closed-shop etc in their failing to acknowledge new evidence to change their previous poor clinical practices. Herein lies the problem with Truehawks subsequent postings and correspondence, namely that wikipedia is not the place to try and carry out an argument (soapbox), but should of course only report on real-world debates.

• On Talk:Sinusitis on 23rd Dec I raised my problems with the biofilms section (being overlong, having description or information on biofilms perhaps better located at biofilm article and WP:NOR#Synthesis of published material serving to advance a position
• I did though stupidly mix up my notes on this and another topic (teach me to try and do 2 things at once, but PubMed searches and page accessing run slowly on my computer) and added wrong point about cited research being on mice vs. humans. Truhawk pointed this out on 24th Dec and I offered an apology on the talk page the same day, and provided more information of how I thought the cited research was not well supporting the conclusions or overall tone of the sinusitis biofilm section.
• Truhawk’s POV comes in the current final talkpage postings of 26th Dec (26th Dec on edit history viewing but self-signed as 25th Dec). with phrases such as "It should be possible to divise a EP test to differentate bacterial mucus from the product of human goblet cells. This work just has not been done yet, and needs to be funded. It needs to be done." which is speculation & campaigning.
• Similarly "It reasons that biofilms in sinus patients would share this property with those recovered from indwelling cathaers from human patients. Are you proposeing that bacteria in biofilms in the sinuses would abstain from the plasmid swapping (bacterial sex) shown to be carried out by the same species in biofilms found elsewhere in the body?" – I don’t argue for or against this, I’m just not arguing at all over this as this seems to fall within WP:NOR#Synthesis of published material serving to advance a position
• Again Truhawk states "as long as the information about biofilms in CS patients remains largely unknown, then the work that would conclusively prove the revelance of biofilms has little chance of recieveing the level of funding that would allow it to proceed rapidly to produce the absolute proof of relevance " – which seems an admission that there currently lacks the degree of studies to either confirm the fact or the notability of this aspect of sinusitis research.
• Finally their concluding sentence of "Because the corrolation between biofilms and sinusitis is strong in the work done so far, and yet information is so realatively unknown, I believe it would be irresponsible to remove this section, which hopefully will attract additional attention and funding to this area of research." Again reaffirms that the information is at least minority opinion and possible of trivial minority opinion (which under WP:NPOV would not warrant being included at all).
• In summary therefore, I suspect most otolaryngologists (of which I am not one) and medical editors in general would tend to entirely delete any mention of biofilms from the sinusitis article as being trivial minority research/speculation. However I think biofilms is an interesting topic (I appreciated the references and enjoyed reading the articles), although yet to have much merit (currently) in established medical consensus. I think much of the stated research might be better moved to biofilm article with a rather shorter and less definitely absolutist assessment left in Sinusitis (I would not mind "recent research suggested" and a brief outline, but the current section being as long as Diagnosis and Treatment combined is undue space given to this line of limited research).

As for Truhawk approach, I found their posting to my talk page on 24th Dec of User talk:Davidruben#Biofilm Sinusitis.2C__You might actually read the cites before setting up a straw man. poor AGF and posted after I had already responded on the article’s talk page, apologising for slip of human/mice basis of research. My response on my talk page again set out my thoughts on the editorial problems of tone & length of the section.

I subsequently received an email from Truhawk a few hours later, again complaining that "All the work reported was done on humans. You did not read the cites", which included "You have to decide who's side you are on. You have to decide how long the Otolaryngol community will be allowed to stonewall, and how much morbidity, mortality and human misery will you collaborate in not relieveing. Are you going to ignore the cited works and side with dogma, or just present the evidence and let the chips fall where they may? You have to ask yourself if the CS patient exists to be the ENT's private ATM machine." and concluded by stating "But as long as we give Otolaryngolsts the exclusive right to decide how to treat CS then we must drive them, a very resistant institution to take on board information faster than they would otherwise. It is for a good cause". This really is not wikipedia’s remit to alter current clinical practice.

To bring this all up to date, I email responded thus:

Sorry indeed stupid blunder re mice research comment here (vs the other article I was editing).

The other points I raise are not really about whether biofilms are a better way of understanding and managing CS, or not. Your assessment of ENT/otolaryngologists may or may not be correct.

The issue, for wikipedia, is not about the "truth" as given by emerging research - i.e. the scientific point of view (SPOV). As an encyclopaedia, the SPOV is specifically not policy (see WP:SPOV), and I agree this galls for anyone trying to follow the latest research. The point being that an encyclopaedia spreads and reflects current understanding (even if wrong) rather than trying to change or create new knowledge. Hence it is not wikipedia's place to engage in arguing out changes, but it may of course report on a real-world debate.

The information/position you seek to advance, whilst possibly indeed correct, can only be included if there are reliable sources to cite to verify a position (individual research studies do not in themselves supoort an overal approach to a field - a further citation is needed to verify the jump from specific studies to an overall approach).

So if you feel the current otolaryngology consensus is wrong, adding in emerging biofilm details as if established fact is POV (albeit possible the "correct scientifc" POV), instead a rewording seems called for along lines of:

"Some researchers have started to disagree with the convential understanding of the cause and management of chronic sinusitis, as evidence has accumulated for the role of biofilms.(1) (2) Biofilms have been identified on surgical biopsy samples.(3) The biofilm cooperation between bacteria is claimed to make conventional tests for the presence of bacteria unreliable,(4) and also explain why the chronic sinusitis response poorly to the standard antiobtics used.(5) Instead it has been suggested that X or Y is used to treat this condition.(6)"

Note () for where refs are required and the minimum number that lends weight to making the assertions. Note also that this is not the place to describe what biofilms are in detail (that is achieved by wikilinking "biofilm")

I suggest the above outline (the English prose could be improved) as a succint paragraph indicating that there is a divergence of view, that the view is not of wikipedia but of someone we can attribute to, that a change in approach suggested (but there is not yet widespread studies to confirm that this does work).

I am not an otolaryngologist, but having seen several contentious medical topics in wikipedia, the lengthy section as it currently stands is likely to be deleted as POV pushing, and it would better therefore to be in the wikipedia text more conservative in claims and the shift needed in specialists' approach, than overly progressive - but that's my twopence of advice :-)

David

And by way of reply received:

Point well taken my freind.

If it becomes a point of contraversy, then I will rewrite it along the lines that you suggest, or you may as you wish.

I am aware of the issue of consensus, however I believe that in order to contribute to consensus that one has a duty of good faith and due diligence.

A medical "opinion" is a story about what the facts mean.

You can't have a valid opinion if you leave out revelant facts.

The debatable point would be if the presence of a biofilm infection in CS patients is an revelant fact or not.

The arguement that I expect is that the biofilm is there as a consequence of allergy, immune difficency, whatever, rather than sufficent in and of itself to cause the observed presistant symptoms. As long as they recognize the existance of the biofilm and realize that the biofilm is itself an infection that will not spontaniously disburse with a "resolution" of the the puttive "underlying conditon", then I am willing to let them save face.

Thanks for your help.

So I think we are currently cooperating well, but I remain uncertain on the balance of the section (hence "expert needed" tag) and I may ask for input from the medical wikiproject of WP:CLINMED. David Ruben ^Talk 05:30, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Hopefully this compromise will be okay with Truehawk. If not the best thing to do is to keep dialogue open and reach consensus. Both sides should remain civil remember your both working for the same goal: to inform others. --Gary123 Apply now, exciting opportunities available at Continental Op Detective Agency! 07:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Got your message

Could you please give my your opinion of what has been posted so far, and tell me if I am indeed violating some rule? Consensus is a tricky criteria, to my way of thinking, it should apply to interpertation of what facts mean, not to the facts themselves. Is a simple restatement of a sentance in colloquial english, rather than Docterise "pushing a point of view"? Also don't people have to become aquainted with the facts in the first place before they can decide their revelance to the subject. And then there are the patients, like this one, [1]

who would be better served if their ENTs were better informed sooner rather than later. Thanks Truehawk 9:20 Tuesday, EST.

What other members are invovled in this dispute? --Gary123 Apply now, exciting opportunities available at Continental Op Detective Agency! 16:14, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Chinese Civil War Template

Template talk:Chinese Civil War

Template:Warlord era do need a split, and a template specifically for Chinese Civil War may be needed. But creating a redudant template is not a solution. I will redo the template when I have time. Right now it's oversized, false in many sense and redudant.

The Chinese Civil War template is by no means redundant. Take a look at it almost all the people and events are only in this template but not in the warlords. Its true very few of the events and characters do overlap but thats simply historical, but take a look at it its almost completely new events and people.

AMA Case

You said that John Smith made you afraid to edit wikipedia. If John Smith was doing this to you why didn't you take it up earlier with fellow wikipedians of administrators if he was being such a problem. Nobody has to be afraid to edit.

I think that in this case everybody in mind has to remain civil and assume good faith here. Your both trying to improve Chinese articles so you both have the same goal.

What I want to know is are the edits made by John smith in breach of WP:NPOV? and what does the surrounding wikipedia community think of the book User:John Smith has been using to cite sources that you are against (WP:CITE). Does the Information he put up contain any POV?

In future please don't go spamming talk pages with your opinion (WP:NOT). Try to take it up with the person or group in question. I saw no or very few comments from you on John Smiths talk page. Please try to remain civil and discuss things rather thank throwing insults and spamming in future.

Hegel

Was idly browsing the rd/h archives and saw your question. Some choices from one who does not hold the remarkable view that the old Soviet empire was a cultural desert producing but one original thinker might include works of Raya Dunayevskaya, and in particular what she was inspired by, Lenin's notes on Hegel in v 38 of his collected works. A more recent book in this line is Kevin Anderson's , Lenin, Hegel and Western Marxism: A Critical Study, University of Illinois Press: Urbana, 1995. But today, Hegel studies maintains a remarkably grown up attitude - lefties and nonlefties/ righties are able to talk to eachother and notice when each are saying intelligent things. So many good intros would serve. Note the recent three man (one of them a Marxist) translation of the Encyclopedia Logic; as they say, Lenin's notes are one of the few works with the liveliness of Hegel's original, and are respected by many Hegel scholars of all politics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.234.15.152 (talk) 04:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Life of Jesus (Hegel). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

American Revolutionary War (Global)

Um, if you don't mind, what is the purpose of American Revolutionary War (Global)? This edit is a masssive GFDL problem as none of the history is available. If this was intended to be a spin-off from here, it needs to be clarified. Thanks. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:45, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of American Revolutionary War (Global)

The article American Revolutionary War (Global) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Spin-off from American_Revolutionary_War#An_international_war.2C_1778.E2.80.931783 not used anywhere and without the proper history (i.e. a comment saying it came from whatever version of American Revolutionary War), it's a GFDL problem.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ricky81682 (talk) 02:58, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Could the article be renamed "Soviet Zone (in China)"

I suppose the article could be renamed "Soviet Zone (in China)" as it was called the "Soviet Zone" at least after 1937.--R-41 (talk) 14:56, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I know that the term "Soviet Zone" has been used in Chinese language sources. The Soviet Union also referred to it as a "zone". "Red China" sounds too derogatory. The article could be reverted back to "Communist-controlled China (1927-1949)" if you wish. The Communist Party held its own armed forces and controlled significant amounts of territory that were re-activated as front lines after the provisional truce with the Nationalists ended after 1945, and by the 1940s, the US government was effectively accepting that China was a diarchy of Chiang Kai-Shek and Mao Zedong - the US ambassador to China met with both Chiang and Mao. I just find the Chinese Soviet Republic article redundant - it could be included within the article on Communist-controlled China from 1927 to 1949 with a separate section titled "Chinese Soviet Republic".

You can restore the article Chinese Soviet Republic if you wish for a separate article on it. I just believe that there should be an article for the era of pre-1949 Communist-controlled China.--R-41 (talk) 16:40, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Introduction to the Reading of Hegel: Lectures on Phenomenology of Spirit

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Introduction to the Reading of Hegel: Lectures on Phenomenology of Spirit. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Alexandre Kojève. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Alexandre Kojève – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. VQuakr (talk) 03:55, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
