Plagiarism
[edit]The use of verbatim, unattributed quotations in articles is considered plagiarism. Whenever you incorporate the exact text of a source into an article, please provide appropriate attribution in the form of quotation marks, <blockquote>, or similar. Please note that addition of non-free text, without attribution as a direct quotation, is considered to be a copyright violation per se, even if it otherwise would have been fair use. (Excessive and/or unnecessary use of non-free text, even when correctly attributed, might still run afoul of the non-free content policy and guideline, and be considered a copyright violation.) Also, Wikipedia style guidelines discourage the excessive use of quotations, even when correctly attributed. All closely paraphrased text must adhere to the same attribution, non-free content, and copyright standards as verbatim quotations. I notice that you have added verbatim and closely paraphrased non-free text to Bill Andriette without attribution as a direct quotation, which I believe to be inconsistent with the previously described policies. Your text:
saying that the hatred of boy-lovers is a "reactionary ideology which the gay movement has happily adopted to burnish its own particular identity category."[1]
The original source text:
The hatred of boy-lovers, he says, is a "reactionary ideology which the gay movement has happily adopted to burnish its own particular identity category..."[2]
Your text:
saying his group's opposition to age-of-consent laws in is keeping with "the main tradition" of homosexuality.[3]
The original source text:

Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter. Also, if you have added other verbatim and/or closely paraphrased non-free texts without attribution as direct quotations to Bill Andriette or any other article, please rewrite this material in your own words, or remove it at your earliest possible convenience.

Blogs/reliability
[edit]I've reverted this particular edit (I don't feel strongly about it, but I think you're mistaken to assume that blogs are always unreliable), and policy seems to indicate to me that this is likely an exception.

- Removal of libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced contentious material that violates the policy on biographies of living persons (BLP). What counts as exempt under BLP can be controversial.

books "further reading" removal at ADF
[edit]A collegial "heads up" that I removed that section, here's the diff [5] If those books really are about the Alliance Defense Force rather than about the beliefs of the head of the ADF, and that can be demonstrated with reliable sources, I got no problem with putting them back--but pages like this all too easily grow into the list of a hundred external links (which is what these more or less are) with everyone's favorite POV works. If I'm mistaken and either really goes into, say, the deep organizational history of the ADF, please accept my apologies and revert my edit. Thanks. --j⚛e deckertalk 01:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

- Sorry about that--I do understand the effort, I've sourced quite a number of articles (my main pasttime here is sourcing unsourced BLPs), many with book references, and they are a hassle to fill out. Do you have reftoolbar? More info here: [6], it really helps deal with the cite template formatting, then I just go to the "about the book" section in Google Books at the book and most of the info can be cut-and-pasted from there. And as you describe it the ACLU book sounds very relevant, I'll take your word.

Following sources
[edit]You wrote:
- In 2003 he successfully completed the Pure Life Ministries residential program, where he is currently employed, to deal with unwanted homosexual attractions
You cited a source which says:
- Mike Johnston serves as Director of Donor and Media Relations. He coordinates media relationships for the ministry and production of audio content including the podcast. In 1989, Mike founded Kerusso Ministries and spent the next 14 years presenting a Christian perspective on homosexuality as it relates both to ministry and public policy. He has been with the ministry since 2003.
I don't understand how you got from that source to what you wrote. How do you know that he completed a residential program, or that it dealt with unwanted homosexual attractions? Neither of those are in the source. Are you acquainted with the subject? Will Beback talk 00:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Added better source. Lionel (talk) 02:10, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing that, but do you think that is a reliable source for details about a living person's sexuality? Will Beback talk 02:20, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Hmmm. His current employer is the publisher. They also have published his biography here. This seems to be a common practice to use corp bios for BLP. The sexuality status may be pushing policy a tad, but it's not detrimental in this case. And there's this. Anti-exgay sources also put him at Pure Life. Lionel (talk) 02:52, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Ex-Gay Lawsuit removal
[edit]Hi, you recently removed a lawsuit listed on Ex-Gay. It seems to have been relevant: "that many people have walked out of homosexuality into sexual celibacy and marriage through the help of Jesus Christ." - perhaps you confused the legal grounds for which the state won the lawsuit with one of the purposes of the ad campaign? Best, ROBERTMFROMLI TALK/CNTRB 00:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. Saw the undo. And it's great to see someone's trying to clean up that article. As I guess you noticed, it needs work on both ends... uncited/exaggerated claims or lack of relevant ones. It's like people on both sides of the argument have each butchered the opposing viewpoints. ROBERTMFROMLI TALK/CNTRB 00:44, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Lionelt
I see you nominated Van Dykes for speedy deletion on the basis of notability. As you can see at Talk:Van Dykes, and you could have seen in the entry itself, the topic of that encyclopedia entry clearly meets Wikipedia's general and subject-specific inclusion guidelines, which give the topic a presumption of meriting inclusion in the encyclopedia.
If you disagree, please use a more appropriate means of conveying your opinions, such as AfD or discussion on the article's talk page (I note that you elected not to notify the article's creator—me—of your nomination, which is generally discouraged).
Regards, Bongomatic 15:11, 5 February 2011 (UTC) Should you wish to reply, please do so here. I will watch this page for a few days, so no {{talkback}} or other comment on my talk page is required.
Please stop making big changes without proper explanation on the talk page
[edit]The controversy section on the Lawyers' Christian Fellowship page has been the subject of many edits, but seems to have reached concessus. Please don't jump in and make radical edits to it without discussion. Santa Suit (talk) 02:15, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- youtube is not a reliable source per WP:RSEX. And because the content is contentious and relates to a living person, it must be removed per WP:BLP. Talking about it doesn't change the policy. Note that 3RR does not apply per [7].
- Please write your explanation on the article's talk page, as requested Santa Suit (talk) 02:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

February 2011[edit]In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You are the one mis-quoting rules and asking for quotes from videos. I supplies a link which is required to prove he has conducted media interviews. Please desist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by STL1989 (talk • contribs) 05:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
February 2011[edit]Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive; until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. The tag was placed in good faith; I want to make sure the interpretation of the source is accurate; your arbitrary removal is disruptive: this is not how we work here at Wikipedia.

- Minor? I don't see how you could say this [8] is minor, in case you hadn't noticed its moved back and forth a number of times. WMO 01:46, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
- At the time I moved it, it seemed pretty straightforward and obvious. Afterall, it is how they are described in the lede. Anyway, I didn't notice the ping ponging until after I moved it. However, I see your point and you can rely on me to fully discuss any major edit I plan on undertaking, however I've noticed a lot of people getting blocked so I won't be spending too much time on these articles. You've probably noticed my light-hearted approach (8x10s). Lionel (talk) 01:50, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Notices for WikiProject Conservatism
[edit]Hi, I saw that you, as the originator of the proposal for WikiProject Conservatism, posted some notices asking for participants. How about posting a notice on the Sarah Palin Talk page, as well as the popular conservative talk radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Neil Boortz, and Laura Ingraham? I know that the Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh pages are high up on the list of most watched pages on Wikipedia, and I imagine that the others would be fairly high as well, with many active conservatives.

another editor's enemies list, your revert
[edit]Would you please explain this revert? Your edit summary was insufficient, especially since you seem to be sympathetic to LAEC's conservative activist causes. -PrBeacon (talk) 06:08, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- What part of "LAEC specifically desired for this editor to remain on the list" do you fail to comprehend? Be careful, my friend, when suggesting motives for another editor's actions: it could be construed as NPA. Lionel (talk) 06:22, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- Someone seems to think everything is a personal attack... just noting that the list is gone so this is a mute point. :) WMO Please leave me a wb if you reply 06:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- LAEC's desire is irrelevant. ".. keeping a 'list of enemies' ...is neither constructive nor appropriate.". Editors who so easily conflate disagreement with personal attack have no business working on a collaborative project involving controversial issues. -PrBeacon (talk) 17:10, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Improper closure of RfC
[edit]I noticed you just closed a talk-page RfC that administrator SlimVirgin started to try to settle a dispute at Right-wing politics. I took strong exception to that action for several reasons, not the least of which was that the "result" you offered was at odds with the !vote tally, which very clearly showed no consensus. I've reverted your closure. Please don't do anything remotely similar again. I've also taken the trouble to document the events that followed from your closure, along with additional reasons I considered it improper; see Talk:Right-wing politics#Non-admin super-vote closure of RfC (permalink). I would suggest that if you have any comments to make, that that same section of the article talk would be the place to make them; please make sure you've clicked on the "live" link I'm providing in this message, rather than the snapshot/permalink, so you don't inadvertently edit an old instance of that page, if you do choose to comment at article talk. This will be my only post to your talk page on this matter, but I did want to specifically request, here, that you not repeat any such an action in the future. Thank you, – OhioStandard (talk) 18:00, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
- While I AGF, I find your reasons for reverting the close do not stand up to policy. If you disagree with the result, you should open a new RfC. I respectfully decline your requests and will enforce the close. Lionel (talk) 20:16, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

- That doesn't answer the question. If the article is already as good as it's going to get then it should be discussed for deletion. Is there anything else that qualifies this person for a Wikipedia biography? Will Beback talk 00:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Would you believe... I have lots of stuff to put in there?????? Lionel (talk) 00:38, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Then put it in. I'm going to start an MFD thread, and those usually last about a week, so there's time to make whatever additions you think will help. Will Beback talk 01:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Misunderstood the reason for the Kelsey Grammer update request
[edit]Lionelt, I thought the note was because he was just married and so after adding that fact, deleted the notice. I checked the bottom of his talk page before doing the deletion and because there was no other mention of anything, deleted the update needed notice. Later, you added your reason for wanting an update. Just wanted you to know I was not ignoring your request for update rather trying to clean up when I mistaken thought the update had been performed. --Javaweb (talk) 03:51, 26 February 2011 (UTC)Javaweb
- No problem! I thought leaving the wikilink in the edit summary was enough - all's well...! Lionel (talk) 23:16, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
No comment
[edit]Don't want you to think you're being ignored, but, as much as I'd like to, I can't comment because I promised to avoid confrontation (and I've almost lived up to it). I hear you, though. --Kenatipo speak! 00:19, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- No explanation necessary... Just good to have you back. Lionel (talk) 00:21, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
