==[["Wayne Wheler"]]==
I see that you just contributed an article on Wayne Wheler. Thank you. It is standard format in this encyclopedia for people's names not to have quotes around them (see [[Benjamin Franklin]] for exmaple). I can move the article for you quite easily. My other concern, however, is a legal issue. This article is quite long and is unformatted (ie it has no links). That may be because you have yet to put in links for keywords and other sylistic issues (which I would gladly help you with). However, many people submit unformatted text because they are simply copying and pasting content from another webiste. I couldn't find any website with the content you just uploaded, so I was wondering if you could tell me whether you copied that material (as copied material must be deleted for copyright reasons). Thanks! [[User:BrokenSegue|This link is]] [[User talk:BrokenSegue|'''B'''roken]] 01:51, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

==[[Mary Hunt]]==
Hi, you might want to check out [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]] in regards to the website information you submitted to this article.  [[User:Karmafist|Karmafist]] 01:36, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

== Redirects ==

Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Just so you know, a redirect should not have any title. By placing a line of text above the <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[link]]</nowiki> operation, the software does not pick it up as a redirect.  You may want to preview your pages before you save them, just to make sure everything's working properly. Also, article titles are case sensitive. So, [[Alcoholic beverage control state]]s and [[Alcoholic Beverage Control States]] don't link to the same place. Thanks! -[[User:Satori|Satori]] [[User_talk:Satori|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 16:20, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
==Copyright==
If you indeed have copyright ownership over articles at http://www2. potsdam.edu/ hansondj/ then of course you may donate it to wikipedia. Understand that that means other people will be able to use it (read [[GFDL]] if you haven't yet). Often people who donate content to wikipedia put a page on their site saying that they have donated some/all content to wikipedia (ie. relicense content into the GFDL/PD/Creatic Commons/Another compatible license). This serves as a way for you to get good will and as proof that you, in fact, own that website (sadly we have some rude people who like to pretend they own websites they clearly don't). What article in particular are you concerned about? I can't remember what article I had discussed with you (besides [[Wayne Wheler]] which seems to have no copyright issues). It's best to format the note on the article's source the way I left it at [[History of alcohol]]. Don't sign you articles or write the notice at the top though. If you plan to move over many articles you might want to make a template similar to [[Template:1911]]. Cheers. 16:34, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
:ah silly me. I read your message to quickly. You want to know how you can fix [[American Council on Alcohol Problems]]. I indicated you claim of copyright holding on [[WP:CP]]. Sadly that page has a constant backlog. I would remove the copyvio notice on the page and continue editing with a notice of ownership similar to what I explained above. No need for you to wait a month for this to get sorted out. Remember to go through and add a notice to all articles that you contributed. [[User:BrokenSegue|This link is]] [[User talk:BrokenSegue|'''B'''roken]] 16:53, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
::I could only hazard a guess. I think that some people, not knowing the rules, submits a copyrighted text. When they are told they can't use it unless they own the rights to it, instead of admitting a wrong they lie. Some also might just want to get Wikipedia into legal trouble. Sad really. 17:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

==Jake foot redirect==

Brookie here - I've corrected your attempted redirect as it wasn't correct. :) [[User:Brookie|The curate's egg]] 18:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
:Hi David - thanks for the note - you need to put the redirected aiminto double brackets - I think that you only usedone. If you go to the original page abd press edit - it will show you the final formatting. :) [[User:Brookie|The curate's egg]] 07:53, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

==Rational Recovery==
You made a new page but you spelled it [[Ratonal Recovery]]. So, I made that page a redirect to [[Rational Recovery]] for you. You might want to look at it and add any info that is not dupilcated.

== History of alcohol ==

It seems you added links to either [[History of alcohol]] or to your own webpage to many individual articles on alcoholic beverages (I removed the one on [[Wheat beer]]). Often this does not seem particularly relevant, and could be considered [[WP:SPAM|spam]]. Please don't add links to your own website to so many articles. Thank you, [[User:Kusma|Kusma]] [[User_talk:Kusma|(talk)]] 04:53, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
:And I just reverted your de-wikification of [[History of alcohol]]. Do you have any particular reason to prefer that article without internal links? It seems counterproductive for Wikipedia. [[User:Kusma|Kusma]] [[User_talk:Kusma|(talk)]] 05:07, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

The article you are adding to many pages is only tangentially relevant and sometimes not relevant at all. At the Wiki, we prefer that you add information to the page rather than adding links which do not add to the page. Also, it is generally considered poor form to cite one's own research. Thank you. [[User:Wnissen|Wnissen]] 06:08, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Please do not unlink valid links. If you continue to remove valid content in the form of links, you might be blocked from editing. Plus, you added a false "source" to [[American Whiskey Trail]] which redirects to your web site. Please do not do that again, it has been removed. [[User:Wnissen|Wnissen]] 06:16, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
: Hello again, David Justin, I see you are making many excellent contributions. Thanks for coming up to speed so quickly on the policies and customs at the Wiki. Looking forward to working with you. [[User:Wnissen|Wnissen]] 06:32, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
:However can you please not link to your own site. You are linking there as a reference when your site then quotes primary (or less secondary) sources. Can you cite the originals instead (even if they are print references not web links). [[User:Justinc|Justinc]] 02:45, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

==Alcohol and Teenage Brains==
I changed the speedy delete tag on the article to an [[WP:AFD]], per your resolution on the copyright issue.  Please feel free to participate in that debate. [[User:Ohnoitsjamie|Jasmol]] 04:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

You've obviously studied alcohol quite a bit, and I don't dispute your knowledge in the area. I'm just concerned that the article might fail the [[WP:OR|original research]] inclusion guidelines.  It may also be appropriate to merge some of the content into the article on alcohol.  Cheers, [[User:Ohnoitsjamie|Jasmol]] 04:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

== Prohibition ==

Thanks for your comments about [[Prohibition]] and info about Scandinavia - you will see I added your material to the article.  Regards--[[User:AYArktos|A  Y  Arktos]] 06:24, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
:Hi, I did a bit of googling on the Russian dates.  There seems to be quite a lot of people writing about the tsar imposing prohibition when the war broke out and it being continued til 1924 or 25.  I put the results at [[Talk:Prohibition#Prohibition in Russia - confliciting sources for dates]].  Regards--[[User:AYArktos|A  Y  Arktos]] 19:25, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

== Reverting vandalism ==

Hi David. I noticed your good edits on [[Repeal of Prohibition]], nice work. But I'm not sure if you're doing them by hand (ie pasting back in material vandals have deleted), or automatically. Have a read of  [[Wikipedia:Revert]] - doing it that way (editing out-of-date versions of the page) ensures that you don't miss any sneaky, very minor vandalism.

Also, don't you think it's about time you turned [[User:David Justin|this red link]] blue? :P

cheers, [[User:Pfctdayelise|pfctdayelise]] 14:34, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

== Bravo! ==

Hello David Justin, I have watched with amazement and gratitude as you have contributed a bevy of excellent pages over the last few weeks. You are really filling in a number of holes that badly needed plugging. I've been  going through and marking many of them as stubs (not a negative comment on the content, most articles are marked as stubs for a while just to help them mature more quickly) and adding some wikilinks. Thank you for your extensive research! [[User:Wnissen|Wnissen]] 15:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome!  --[[User:Deville|Deville]] 01:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

:I concur, you're doing a great job! When creating new articles, don't forget to [[WP:CAT|categorize]] them as well. For example, see [[:Category:Wine]] for some subcategories you might want to add to related articles you've recently created. Keep up the good work :) [[User:Mrtea|Mrtea]] <small>[[User_talk:Mrtea|(talk)]]</small> 04:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

==Article moved==
*Hi, I've gone ahead and moved it to [[Stags' Leap Winery]]--[[User:Confuzion|Confuzion]] 02:40, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

== Ottawa 1981 Tasting ==

Hi David, I removed the full result list of the Ottawa 1981 tasting from the [[ChÃ¢teau Margaux]] article; it's enough to say it came second last! If people want the full list they can go to [[Ottawa Wine Tasting of 1981]]. I was only nosing around all of this after adding the results to the [[Judgment of Paris (wine)|Paris Wine Tasting of 1976]] article, which I see you also wrote. Great work on all these wine articles by the way! -- [[User:Blorg|Blorg]] 21:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
:Hi David, thanks for the message. I had a look at some of the other winery articles you have been creating and editing. I'd suggest removing the complete lists of wine tasting results from all the individual winery articles (e.g. [[ChÃ¢teau Mouton Rothschild]], [[ChÃ¢teau_Latour]], etc.) and instead having the results on the page about the tasting itself. Just linking to the article about the tasting would be enough, with a summary of how they got on; e.g. for [[ChÃ¢teau Ducru-Beaucaillou]] you could just say "Although ChÃ¢teau Ducru-Beaucaillou was judged the best French wine in the [[Ottawa Wine Tasting of 1981]], five Californian wines placed ahead of it." Otherwise the information is duplicated all over the place! -- [[User:Blorg|Blorg]] 23:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
::I  might ask what they're doing there at all?  Does the Chateau Montelena page have in depth descriptions of its failures?  As I see it this is a baldfaced bias.  If you want to trumpet decades old wine expos detailing who got beat and why, I think it more even-handed to do so in a dedicated article.  As I browse through Bordeaux entries, all I see is what I would call overtly biased negativity.  Yes, the eruption of California wines onto a scene that had long been French-dominated is remarkable and it makes a good story.  But perhaps the cheerleading should be confined to California wine pages.  I think the alternative is ugly.  Wouldn't it be more sane to keep wine entries neutral erring on the side of positivity?  After all, I can find negative critical comments about just about any wine in any given vintage, as you have proven you can do.--[[User:BridgeBurner|BridgeBurner]] 06:40, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

== Category:Wine tasting ==

Hi David, with all the great articles you have been creating about wine tastings I created a Category:Wine_tasting to keep them all together - this centralises links to them all in one place and makes it easier to keep a track/reference between them. I've made the category a sub-category of Wine, Gustation and Oenology. -- [[User:Blorg|Blorg]] 10:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

== Minor nit ==

David, your contributions to Wikipedia have been significant to say the least. You've really fleshed-out the various alcohol related articles in a big way.  I was wondering though, if you wouldn't mind including a brief comment in the edit summary when making a change to an article. Just a short, concise note to let the rest of the community know what you changed without reviewing your edits. Thanks, and keep up the good work. [[User:Gregmg|Gregmg]] 15:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

== FYI ==

I just posted this on the Alcoholism Talk Page:

:Today, and for some time now, there are highly accurate tools and other instruments which can accurately diagnose the disease of alcoholism. This is but one of many: [http://search2.google.cit.nih.gov/search?q=cache:r8ekcfJCaqoJ:pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/Assesing%20Alcohol/InstrumentPDFs/68_SUDDS-IV.pdf+disease+concept&access=p&output=xml_no_dtd&site=NIAAA&ie=UTF-8&client=NIAAA_frontend&oe=UTF-8&proxystylesheet=NIAAA_frontend SUDDS-IV] A condition such as alcoholism and other psychoactive chemical use can, more than most other human conditions, have a devastating effect on not only the person suffering from that condition, but with everyone else in their life. Too often, the pain, frustration and feeling of betrayal can cause these other effected persons to make judgments about the person, most commonly focusing on their behavior. The attitude is, too often, âif they changed their behavior, if they didnât pick up the drink, or take the drug in the first place, this wouldnât be happeningâ. That is why it is critical to take the condition of chemical dependency out of the realm of public opinion and keep it where it belongs: in the hands of competent, unbiased professionals. Chemical dependency is no myth â it is very real. [[User:Michael David|Michael David]] 01:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

==Wine competitions==
Hi David, thanks for contributing so many fantastic wine competition articles. I have noticed that you have been adding each individual wine competition article as a link in the ''see also'' section of many wine related articles. This is causing the ''see also'' sections to become "bloated" with articles that may not be ''directly'' relevant, making it hard for users to discern what they actually want to look at. May I suggest that you create a "generic" [[Wine competition]] article, that acts as an index to all of the other wine competition articles. The article could also describe how a competition is conducted, how the wines are tasted, who judges them, etc. Such an article would link many other articles together. This will mean only this article, and perhaps other highly relevant articles, will need to be included in the see also sections, keeping things more tidy and organised. Thanks. [[User:Scharks|scharks]] 00:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

==Amusing Chatter==

David I thought you might get a kick out of this from [[user:Michael David]]'s talk page:

<blockquote>Don't jump ship just yet, partner -- I think I'm mixing my eras there -- Mr Christopher seems to have been cowed a bit, and David Justin is trying to play nice. Whether their tactic is to listen, lay back, then strike, I don't know. But right now, I think I've got them seeing things through a different lens. Mine. And that would portend yours. --Sadhaka 11:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC) </blockquote>

I thought it was amusing if not revealing.  And would you please stop trying to play nice! [[User:Mr Christopher|Mr Christopher]] 18:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

== Wine by country template ==

Hi David, just a note that the template {{tl|Wine by country}} should generally only be used in the articles that are linked to in the template, possibly with the exception of the [[Wine]] or [[List of wine producing countries]] articles. Other region based articles should have for example, a {{tl|Wine regions of France}} template or something like that. I would be happy to create these where required.

Why are you removing this redirect page?  [[User:CJCurrie|CJCurrie]] 05:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

==Zero tolerance==
It was a pragmatic solution to avoid a more major dispute. However, the fact that the page is now free-standing does not remove the need to completely rewrite it (and to remove the fake citations: some of the links do not work and some are quoted when you obviously have not actually read them). That said, I hope that you will find life here at least interesting if not enjoyable. The challenges are many, but the opportunity for satisfaction is high. Good luck.

== Your question ==

Regarding your posting on my user talk page, I'm always happy to offer advice.

First, because this isn't a clear case of vandalism (see below), the [[WP:3RR]] limit applies.  You've been warned about this; if you violate the rule again, a block for 24 hours is pretty much automatic.

Second, I don't think anyone has mentioned the Wikipedia [[WP:COI|conflict of interest rule]], which pertains, for example, to people adding links to their own website.  Please read and follow that.

Third, it's clear that [[Wham Bam No Thank You Spam]] is a [[WP:SOCK|sock puppet]] - he's using a user script or something similar to do mass reverts.  If you know someone who you've tangled with before, possibly someone blocked or warned about his/her reverts of your edits, then there is probably a good chance that he/she is using this new account.  If you have some names to suggest, I could take a further look, and give you additional advice.

Fourth, since it seems clear from postings above, and [[Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/David Justin (2nd)|this December complaint]] that you are Dr. Hanson, I strongly urge you to use the many sources you're familiar with as the basis for information you add, as opposed to citing your own website.  For example, on [http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Controversies/1131637220.html this page], the footnote for the section on Joseph H. Choate, Jr., is:

:<small>Kyvig, David E. Repealing National Prohibition. Kent, OH: Kent State University Press, 2000; Lender, Mark E. The Historian and Repeal. In: Kyvig, David E. (Ed.) Law, Alcohol, Order: Perspectives on National Prohibition. Westport, CT: Greenwood, 1985. Pp. 177-205; Root, Grace C. Women and Repeal: the Story of the Womenâs Organization for National Prohibition Reform. NY: Harper & Brothers, 1934; Vose, Clement E. Repeal as a Political Achievement. In: Kyvig, David E. (Ed.) Law, Alcohol, Order: Perspectives on National Prohibition. Westport, CT: Greenwood, 1985. Pp. 97-121.</small>

In the Wikipedia article on [[Joseph H. Choate, Jr.]], it would be tremendous if you cited these three sources directly (so to speak) rather than a web page that in turn is citing these sources.  You could use [[Wikipedia:Harvard referencing|Harvard referencing]] if that made it easier.  Wikipedia has far too few experts who have access to really good source material, the type that is routinely used by Encyclopaedia Britannica. I hope you might consider Wikipedia an opportunity to flesh out articles like the one on Choate, Jr., by using the same sources of information that you used in your articles on the web, but without linking to your website.  -- <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:15px;">[[User:John Broughton|John Broughton]] </span>  [[User talk:John Broughton |(â«â«)]] 22:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

:*My personal objection to at least some of the links that you're adding is that they pertain to only ''part'' of one of your webpages, and sometimes most of the text there is already in Wikipedia, which means the value of the link is ''only'' for the references provided in that section of your page.  This can be a very small payoff - if any payoff at all - for a reader who follows the link, who must first find the section, then read the text and realize he/she has already seen it, then follow a link to the sources for that section, at the bottom of your webpage, then realize the sources are offline.

:*The way that you could provide the ''most'' value to Wikipedia is to actually treat the articles you're editing as if they were your own.  By that, I don't mean "owning" the articles in the sense that you reject or approve edits by others (that would be a violation of [[WP:OWN|policy]]), but rather that you use sources (books, articles, etc.) to add content ''directly'' to Wikipedia, ''with citations''.  By contrast, what you're doing now is of relatively ''little value''; you're providing links to pages that only indirectly are relevant to article subjects.  Why not write ''directly'' for Wikipedia?  -- <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:15px;">[[User:John Broughton|John Broughton]] </span>  [[User talk:John Broughton |(â«â«)]] 20:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

== Drug Abuse Resistance Education ==
Thanks for the complement. I never really intended spend that much time with the article. It took way more time than I would have liked. I would say that there is still more reference work to be done. I think links to the scientific data are needed. The programs of proven effectiveness could use references on which programs are actually more effective and why. The article also needs some ref data on why the program is widely used. [[User:Sefringle]] placed the ref tag there on May 21, 2007. I will leave a message on the [[User talk:Sefringle]] page asking whether or not the ref tag can go. I would say that I have no vested interest in the article otherwise. I merely landed there to document the D.A.R.E. police cars. At the time I placed the copy there, the article had serious NNN N-NPOV problems. There is also occasional vandalism, which I feel like I am the only one correcting. [[User:Group29|Group29]] 22:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
:There is evidence to suggest that you are connected with Professor [[David J. Hanson|David Justin Hanson]], PhD. The writings attributed to Dr. Hanson on the Potsdam.edu site have substantial numbers of references, which would seem to be more connected and a better representation to the position that D.A.R.E. is ineffective. The particular reference to the statement "there is no scientific evidence..." looked like it was picked from a google search on "dare+effective". I give your credit that you put more relevant text in after I made my change that the reference did not support the statement. Based on other Wikipedia contributions, the conclusions I could draw are
:a.) You are not actually Dr. Hanson, but agree with his views.
:b.) You are not actually Dr. Hanson, but one of his assistants
:c.) You are Dr. Hanson, but possibly you have a misunderstanding of/contempt for Wikipedia and do not feed the need to put your already researched references.
:d.) You are trolling on this article
:No matter what position you represent, my opinion is that Dr. Hanson's work can stand on its own merits and can be referenced effectively in this article. According to his research, there is scientific evidence that D.A.R.E. is ineffective. That should be added and cited as a valuable contribution in the article.

===Verification of sources (for the D.A.R.E. article)===
The following example illustrates my understanding of what constitutes verification of sources for facts presented in Wikipedia:

*A fact: Daryl Gates testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that infrequent or casual drug users "ought to be taken out and shot" because "we're in a war" and even casual drug use is "treason."

*A verification: Ronald J. Ostrow, Casual Drug Users Should Be Shot, Gates Says, ''Los Angeles Times,''  Sept. 6, 1990, p. A1.

*An observation:  It is not necessary to verify the validity or invalidity of Gatesâ assertions by verifying any sources he may have used in coming to his beliefs. Similarly, if Gates had published an opinion piece making those same assertions, it would not be necessary to identify any sources or references upon which he may have relied. In short, we only need to verify his statements, not his basis for them

Thanks.[[User:David Justin|David Justin]] 16:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
::Prof. Justin, clearly you have an understanding of how it works. In practice, I do not understand why you are acting to the contrary. please check out the [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] section if you have not already. For example in this change you made on 22 September 2007, you mixed in a combination of assertion that can be verified and assertion that needs verification.[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Drug_Abuse_Resistance_Education&oldid=159623132]
::''"D.A.R.E. also attempted unsuccessfully to prevent airing of an episode of the TV series "Murphy Brown," in which she used marijuana for medical purposes on advice of her physician. It was argued that the episode âSent the wrong message to our children.â"'' The episode in the final season of Murphy Brown is called "Waiting to inhale" which could be verified on an episode guide, series biography, or perhaps by looking back through old issues of TV Guide. However the assertion that D.A.R.E. unsuccessfully tried to prevent the airing of the episode is not backed by a reliable source. See [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Self-published sources]] as to why this is not a valid source. In fact, the text you sourced at hemotopia.org appears to originally be sourced at jackherer.com, which may or may not be appearing with Mr. Herer's permission. I noted a previous example of an argumentum ad populum statement in the talk page. Please see also [[Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view]]. I already have pointed out politely places where the statements are unsupported by the references, and then went back and changed the article to fit the context of the reference. I understand your point of view on this article, which is that the D.A.R.E. program is not effective. As I stated before, the sources and statements can stand on their own merits. You have self-published essay material with this point of view on your web sites. This material is linked from the article. This material brought into the article is going against the policy [[Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox]].

==Alcoholism Citations==
Hi David.  There are a lot of different opinions on alcoholism out there, so it's very important to enforce verifiability so that readers have the context necessary to evaluate claims for themselves.  The issue with your revision was that it mentioned a study, but cited an article about the study from a third party.  News articles tend to mangle scientific research, and some books have discussed studies that nobody could verify ever happened, so when you're referencing a scientific study, it's best to reference the author's original research paper from the peer-reviewed scientific journal it appeared in.  Hope that helps.  --[[User:Elplatt|Elplatt]] 20:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
