US Government Project

See my response to you on the US Government Project talk page. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:38, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have added WikiProject United States Government| class=Start| importance=Low template to ATSDR talk page. Feel free to change the class or importance if you rate the article differently. --DThomsen8 (talk) 17:16, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good thanks. -Wervo (talk) 03:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message! I added WikiProject United States Government| class=Start| importance=Low template to the SENSOR-Pesticides page. I have to talk to my supervisor about what he wants on the page (he's in charge of the program), and then I'll start editing in earnest. I do plan on dealing with the external links section as soon as I know if and how he wants me to refer to individual state programs' websites. I'll probably be back here with plenty of questions.

BTW, thanks for bringing the COI interest to my attention. I think the potential for bias is minimal, but I added a COI section to the SENSOR-Pesticides talk page explaining my situation. You and other users are always welcome to make revisions and suggestions to ensure the article's NPOV, particularly because the end goal is to raise the article's Quality rating. Thank you!

SENSOR-Pesticides

Hey Wervo, I'm still at a loss for whether the background section should be in the article, so I've asked a more experienced editor to have a look at the discussion about it on the talk page and weigh in. When my boss comes back from his honeymoon next week, I'll have him look at it, and then I'll submit the article for a GA nomination. Hopefully I'll get some guidance there, too. I appreciate you keeping me honest. MMagdalene722 ^{talk to me} 13:02, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And really, the great thing about Wikipedia is you can change it, then change it back, and if you provide reasoning, no one will probably give it a second thought. You can't break it. (I even thought about just doing it myself.) No problem. Thanks for being here. -Wervo (talk) 02:10, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CDC

Hi! I noticed this edit: http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Centers_for_Disease_Control_and_Prevention&diff=next&oldid=317849904

Unfortunately an editor before you removed the specific location info and all of the notes with it. The fact of the matter is, the CDC is not within the Atlanta City Limits. It is in Druid Hills CDP in unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia. I restored the deal location. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:54, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that you see that as the WP:TRUTH yet the picture still states Atlanta, as does the CDC's main page. So that's not WP:V. It's WP:OR if you ask me. -Wervo (talk) 23:13, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I didn't find out about this till now, but I think it needs to be addressed ASAP.

" About this edit summary

We had a similar discussion about the 2011 Tucson shootings. You might want to see Talk:Gabrielle_Giffords/Archive_3#In.2Fnear_Tucson. We decided that we do refer to the specific municipalities, and we do care about the specifics. It's not OR. It does satisfy V.

You might also want to see Wikipedia:No_original_research/Noticeboard/Archive_14#Using_maps_to_determine_locations

Having said that, I will look for reliable secondary sources that clearly identify the CDC as being in an unincorporated area.

And I found one...

Kessler, John. "CDC flu chief: ‘Mother Nature rolling the dice’." Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Sunday May 3, 2009. "The second bolt of lightning struck two miles south of the CDC, in Druid Hills."</ref>
