SSM

Hi there,

I notice that a few edits I've corrected for NPOV recently all happen to have been by you; specifically, would you mind not using the scare quotes when you write about same-sex marriage? It just makes it so much harder to track down the edits and fix them, since I can't search on the term in scare quotes without getting a lot of results for the term not in scare quotes. ;)

Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:35, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

hi Roscelese. I made a couple edits to Jaime Soto. Point taken on the scare quotes; sorry i was quoting the article.

1. Soto is against abortion and contraception so should we call it as such. Reproductive rights is not an easily defined term and can mean a lot of things. Why go to the non-specific when we have specific defined terms. Is Soto against all the items included as "reproductive rights" listed below?

The wiki entry on "reproductive Rights" states: "Reproductive rights may include some or all of the following: the right to legal or safe abortion, the right to birth control, the right to access quality reproductive healthcare, and the right to education and access in order to make reproductive choices free from coercion, discrimination, and violence.[7] Reproductive rights may also include the right to receive education about contraception and sexually transmitted infections, and freedom from coerced sterilization, abortion, and contraception, and protection from gender-based practices such as female genital cutting (FGC) and male genital mutilation (MGM)."

2. Soto has spoken against the homosexual lifestyle as a sin and not homosexuality. This is a very important distinction and standard doctrine of the Catholic Church.

Catechism of the Catholic Church: Chastity and homosexuality 2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

1. Since it mentioned both abortion and contraception, my change to "reproductive rights" was mostly to shorten the laundry list rather than for POV reasons; however, we would still have to say "abortion rights" and "contraception rights" because the groups do not actually advocate abortions or contraception, they just think people should be able to use them if they want to.
2. The "homosexual lifestyle" is a term used pretty much solely by opponents of gay rights that we should avoid in encyclopedic prose. Can we either put it in a quote (eg. "Soto said, 'the homosexual lifestyle is sinful and therefore no civil rights for you'") or find a neutral way of conveying the information?
Would you mind implementing some of these compromises, or should I?
cheers, Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 10:51, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I changed it a little more, hope it looks good. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 05:49, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Multiple citizenship article

I made this edit today, which involved cite-supported material contributed by you. Separately, I exampled that edit in a response here in a discussion on WT:NPOV. I hope that is not too cryptic; you'll need to look at the wikilinks to get a feel for what I'm on about.

Anyhow, my response and the responded-to point at WT:NPOV were pretty off-topic for the discussion there. I'm afraid, though, that my response came off as quite critical of your insertion (more critical, I see on re-reading, than I initially thought it to be). if you have followon discussion re my edit to the Multiple citizenship, I'd appreciate it if you would place it on the article talk page or, alternatively, on one of our two talk pages to avoid defocusing the discussion at WT:NPOV where I made my response to the mostly offtopic comment there. Cheers. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:39, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Following RSs

By all means, report whatever the RSs say. I think that was done, but see that one of the refs cannot now be read, and others are further down in the para--so I've added some more. You can answer here if you have any comments/questions. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

You can answer here if you have any comments/questions. The article says precisely what the refs say. That is how wiki operates. I'll look at the article more tomorrow--but if I deleted a ref that he was not religious that was sourced, I'll revert that. You are engaging in OR ... we follow the sources ... and please note that one used later in the para even has a habit of asking the player or his rep if he wants to be reflected as such, and only reflects them if they say yes.
BTW ... you can post here if you want to discuss further. I will watch your page.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:31, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rodger Krouse

The article Rodger Krouse has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no indication of WP:Notability. While the sources given do mention him they do not establish him as a notable person in his own right. The first reference is a small mention of political contributions, the second is about the company, the third is not independent and the fourth is just a wedding notice.

While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. noq (talk) 18:48, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

James M. Nederlander and Robert Nederlander

Dear Patapsco913,

It struck me that James M. Nederlander has the intro and infobox of Robert Nederlander. Surely, that's a mistake, right? I added a {{disputed}} tag for this; if it's fixed, feel free to remove that. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 16:47, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I had a little mix-up there between the father James M. and son James L. Patapsco913 (talk)
The intro still seems incorrect; it says Robert E. Nederlander (trivial to fix) and the birth date contradicts the infobox (less trivial, so I'll leave it to you). QVVERTYVS (hm?) 17:21, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jennifer N. Pritzker

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.

A tag has been placed on Jennifer N. Pritzker requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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, you can place a request here. reddogsix (talk) 01:58, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

well perhaps others disagree. that is why we have a talk page. Everything you took out has a citation. Why would you take out the reference to Avi Tiomkin where he got his start? or that he started out by analyzing Israeli companies; or that his wife's mother introduced him to Avi. These are all important facts to show how he started out.Patapsco913 (talk)

By the same token, please don't delete relevant RS-supported information regarding people being Jewish, as you did here.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:22, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
I see you did it again. A few points. First, the article is about him -- not his parents. For you to delete that he is Jewish, because we discuss that his parents are Jewish, is bass ackwards. Second, it is OR on your point that because his parents are Jewish, so is he. Third, we have a source identifying him as Jewish -- please stop deleting what it supports. Fourth, some people are born Jewish, but choose not to be Jewish any longer, and convert out, so it is of relevance not just what he was born (if we accept your OR as acceptable, which it isn't). Fifth, coupled with the above comment by a sysop, I'm concerned that you seem to not "get it" with the subject being people being Jewish -- yet again.--Epeefleche (talk) 15:13, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
wow, you do not need to get so angry. First, please folow protocol and start a new topic on someon'e talk page and not link to something nearly two year's old; also list the name of the article at issue (Nelson Peltz. My edit was because the sentence you wrote was awkward: "Peltz is Jewish and was raised in a Jewish family" If someone's parents are ethnically Jewish than of course, their child is ethnically Jewish (this is not OR). There is nothing that indicates that he is religiously Jewish (and to assert requires such requires strong proof per wikipedia guidelines) so would you not be doing OR to claim as much. However, being ethnically Jewish does not require such proof. Anyhow, I am fine with your new edit but please, there is no need to get so hostile and vulgar. I am not sure what you mean about sysop. JayJ corrected me when I assumed an article referring to someone as "Jewish" did not mean that his religion was Judaism since it could mean that his ethnicity was Jewish.Patapsco913 (talk) 16:16, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
I'm disturbed when I see such edits following similarly disturbing edits. And I see the focus of the sysop's warning and my concern as related. Hence, my post of my comment in the same section. Also, I already linked to the article -- there is no need for me to in addition to the link indicate its name, as that is easily known by following the link. Third, if you find that RS-supported text is, in your personal view, awkward, I believe that it would be better for you to retain the RS-supported text and smooth out the awkwardness, through normal copy-editing, rather than (twice) deleted the RS-supported text. Furthermore, the text states that he is Jewish. And the article is about him. First order of business is to reflect that. That is what is needed, for example, to put him in the "Jewish" cat. It is absurd IMHO to focus on whether his parents are Jewish, and delete the RS-supported fact that he is Jewish. I apologize if you found my comment vulgar. I admit I was concerned by what I saw as a similarly questionable edit, again, with the focus being on Jews. But fyi, I did hold back and seek to discuss the matter, rather than simply leave a template warning. Many thanks for discussing it.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:11, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Suggestion & thank you

Hi Patapsco913 and thank for your work on Wikipedia! I've noticed that you frequently edit pages of many Jews, and therefore I thought I should recommend you this: The website jinfo.org provides "an online resource that accurately describes the Jewish contribution to the cultural, scientific, and technological evolution of civilization." However, the wiki articles of a lot of Jews from these lists don't even mention the that the person is Jewish. So if you have time and like to do it, you could go over the names their and add the proper Jewish categories or Jewish connection in their articles, unless it's already there of course. I'm not sure if jinfo.org itself can be used as a reliable source, but it cites other sources and there're plenty of other websites on the web that confirm these people's Jewishness.

Two minor things

Hi and thank you for your contribution. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia does allow deleting material from one's talk page, which I didn't know before and may have misled you to think otherwise, so I'd like to let you know that you can do it now.. Also, I see that sometimes you don't insert citations the proper way in articles you edit, so in case you haven't found this option yet, the easiest way to do it is by clicking on "cite", then "template", then choosing the correct option and finishing it up.

RE: Kurt Rappaport

Hi, I have removed the mention of a marriage from the article for two reasons. First and foremost, the source that you are providing does not make any reference to their relationship, nor does it provide proof that they are married. Thus, the inclusion of this material does not meet our BLP policy. Second, through OTRS ticket # 2014011010001121 we have received sufficient proof that Kurt is not married to Juliette. (If you wish to verify this information, you may make a request at the OTRS noticeboard.) Because of the nature of the proof, it cannot be posted to Wikipedia. I have tried to look for reliable third party sources that mention his marriage and/or his divorce and was not able to find anything credible. Thus, I removed the mention of marriage in the article and did not address the divorce in the article due to a lack of the proper sources. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi, I removed the statement that he is Jewish because you didn't provide a source and I didn't see one in the body of the article that supports it. —rybec 00:51, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:30, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

The fact that the other person is using sockpuppets does not excuse you from 3RR. See WP:NOT3RR for valid exceptions; while you call it vandalism, removal of content is not inherently vandalism, especially when it is selective in nature. The sockpuppetry rule only kicks in if the master is blocked, and there is a good reason for this: enforcement of WP:CSD#G5. Otherwise, the only difference between an opponent who uses socks and one who doesn't is that they are trying to evade 3RR, but in both cases, both you and the other user have violated 3RR.

Removing legitimate "citation needed" tags; Catholic category

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. 107.15.192.226 (talk) 14:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

On Wikipedia a person must self-identify with a particular denomination before being categorized; and the only way to know if they self-identify is a source indicating that the person is currently Catholic (or Baptist, or atheist, or whatever). That is what is unsourced in the article. If someone grows up an atheist but is now a Christian (see William J. Murray), do we put that person in the "Atheists" category?" MANY people grow up in a particular denomination (or lack thereof in Murray's case) but do not end up claiming that perspective when they are adults. This is a simple matter of following one of the very cornerstones of Wikipedia: "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." Bill Hudson (singer) may very well be a Catholic right now, but the article doesn't provide a reliable source for that. If you want to restore the category, please find a sourced statement to that effect. And remember, the responsibility for sourcing is on the person who adds or restores information. 107.15.192.226 (talk) 14:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Benjamin Winter, Sr.

The article Benjamin Winter, Sr. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you,

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Robert J. Ivanhoe

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.

A tag has been placed on Robert J. Ivanhoe requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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. reddogsix (talk) 02:27, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Question on Sources

Re: a living person's Wikipedia bio - I have multiple newspaper clippings from reliable sources saved as PDFs, can I upload them and reference them in an article?

Removal of text from Paul Warburg

Hi, I went too far with " ...that has vast power over the lives of millions of people not just in America but around the world". That's clearly pov I admit - I was just tempted to see how long a view that is very widely held (and presumably logical i.e: if you can change a countries interest rates and money supply, how is that not having vast power over millions?) .. would stay in the article. Ok.. but let's be serious. Isn't the main legacy of Paul Warburg his pivotal and instrumental role in the creation of the Federal Reserve System? Surely you don't want readers to think that it's more important that he was the inspiration for 'Daddy Warbucks' !!!! In which case the first part of my addition is more relevant - "However, his chief legacy is his role in the creation of a private, quasi-governmental, unelected body (the Federal Reserve)" We can debate about the wording and I'm happy to do so, (you'll notice I changed 'pseudo-governmental' to 'quasi-governmental'), but at the very least 'Legacy' should refer to his major contributions. I would have thought the 'Daddy Warbucks' reference would be better in a sub section 'cultural legacy' or something.Jabberwock359 (talk) 00:47, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Chaim Schochet

Hello Patapsco913,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Chaim Schochet for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 14:34, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Sheldon Solow

Hi, why did you delete my contribution? The source for Sheldon Solow's DOB meets Wiki standards re: verifiabilty. Please explain and revert. Worc63 (talk) 20:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)\

DoB is still in there. I just adjusted the infobox so it automatically updates his age. I also restored the Jewish Business News Article which you removed for some reason; and I restored the NY Times article to the body where it belongs.Patapsco913 (talk) 20:16, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
I deleted JBN b/c, IMHO, it was redundant, per info from JBN that was being cited in the article. I was more perplexed by DOB removal. Thanks. Worc63 (talk) 22:14, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
DOB remained in the article. The Jewish Business News article in supporting five different statements.Patapsco913 (talk) 22:16, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Information icon Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! DSCrowned(talk) 10:17, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

This is important. Please help out your fellow editors by making some kind of note as to what you're doing. — Brianhe (talk) 05:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

references

If you are going to add the same book to a tonne of articles, please do the references correctly. For example, in John M. Stahl

It's not: Erens, Patricia The Jew in American Cinema ISBN-13: 978-0-253-20493-6 | ISBN-10: 0253204933 | Publisher: Indiana University Press | Publish Date: August 1988
It's: Erens, Patricia (August 1988). The Jew in American Cinema. Indiana University Press. ISBN 978-0-253-20493-6.

See a difference with the ISBNs? You also don't need two identical ISBNs either, only use the 13 digit one. Correct ref uses a template for a proper ref, same template already used in the articles. Bgwhite (talk) 06:43, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Silent Running

If you think that Michael Gruskoff is significant enough to have an article about him, then write the article, then you can link his name. Until then, he shouldn't be redlinked, as very few producers have articles, only the most well-known of them, and that's not Gruskoff. BMK (talk) 01:15, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
