For alerting me to that post. He's at 3RR now at Semir Osmanagić. What's really odd is his accusation I deleted something at [[Isabel Gomez-Bassols]] which I didn't. Funny he accused me of a COI when he's created an article about someone he manages. [[User:Dougweller|Dougweller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 05:44, 20 March 2014 (UTC) |

Some advice
HI. You are pretty new on Wikipedia. I recognize that you have made boatloads of edits since you started here last fall. Nonetheless, the mistakes you have made at the Amen article are newbie mistakes.... I am still learning stuff all the time and have been active here for several years. Anyway, it is bad form to go to drama boards before you engage in discussions on the Talk page. Also, it doesn't appear that you have edited in articles related to health/medical stuff much. There is LOTS of crap out there and there are editors who want to come here and push it (real tinfoil hat stuff). Please think about that.. this is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. As a result, over the years Wikipedia has developed some very clear policies and guidelines about how we handle health-related information. Some of the people who have interacted with you about Amen are the best editors in this whole place at keeping flaky health related content out of Wikipedia and at building up reliable health information. The relevant policies and guidelines are Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#Fringe_theories_and_pseudoscience (policy), WP:FRINGE (guideline) and WP:MEDRS (guideline). I recommend you slow down a bit and understand how things work in Wikipedia before you start making accusations that other editors are working here in bad faith. This is unfortunately a common mistake that new editors make but there is no reason you have to continue down that road, which is going to lead to misery for you, and will probably lead you to burn out and leave. Please WP:AGF and slow down and learn how things work here before generating drama. Thanks, and good luck! Jytdog (talk) 11:39, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- about this comment: article Talk pages are not the pages to "bristle." (this is another newbie mistake). Also, if you choose to use a drama board, it is your responsibility to take time to learn and comply with the rules for using them. If you are too busy to read the instructions (which are posted in the blue box at the top of the page) please consider not using these boards. Finally, if you make a mistake and someone corrects it (as I did, by notifying the other editors that the BLPN had been posted, and yes chiding you for your mistake - it is a big deal to accuse other editors of violating policy - which is what you did!), just take it, learn (!) and move on. And hey maybe even apologize for your mistake! Please don't generate yet more drama that doesn't help improve the article. There is lots to learn but acknowledging that and being humble and learning instead of generating drama, will lead you down a road to a happier time here. Best regards. Really - good luck here.

Re your note
I disagree with your interpretation of the situation. WP:OUTING and its enforcement via oversight applies to details about editors. Meanwhile, The Spokesman-Review appears to be a leading regional newspaper, whose editors would not be likely to get this kind of thing wrong, so unless you have reason to dispute the factual claims from that article, there's no real issue here. Whether a "famous alumni" section is appropriate for the school article is debatable, but as long as it's there, this individual ought to be listed there. Nyttend (talk) 14:10, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. I am bothered by this editor's deletion of my comment on his talk page and his insistence that the information was "outing" someone. Ncjon (talk) 16:55, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Issue has been raised at Wikipedia:BLPN#Belle Knox, Nyttend, I would appreciate you making your views known there or at the article itself. Sportfan5000 (talk) 02:23, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Using the days of the week, in addition to the dates
Dear sport, you ain't no genius so why do you delete factual information concerning the days of the week when a particular date falls on? The FACTUAL information may mean nothing to you, but to those who use Wikipedia as an on-line encyclopedia (for a source of information) may want to know this FACTUAL information. Wikipedia is for everyone to add factual information to (to help enhance, update, and to complete the articles) and it is not supposed to be the "pet project" of un-accountable un-selected editors to delete factual information at their own whim (for illegitimate reasons). The only information that you should delete is FALSE information. Please leave the factual information alone! Your actions in this particular case is only hurting Wikipedia. You should not be delating FACTUAL information just because you WRONGLY think that the information is of no value to you personally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.4.75.166 (talk) 18:15, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- I believe consensus has long been, on Wikipedia, and mass media when reporting dates in the past, that the day of the week is not important to the understanding of the subject. If you wish to get feedback on the idea though, you might try Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers. Sportfan5000 (talk) 02:23, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Personal
The remainder of this entire exercise seems like a pointy exercise to demonstrate a dislike for Martin, and has every appearance of being an exercise in frustration. Sportfan5000 (talk) 00:08, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- I expect an apology for this. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:11, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
- I've struck the comment. You're right, even if I feel the conversation is frustrating I should not lash out, I'm sorry. Sportfan5000 (talk) 02:24, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Madea Benjamin, third revert
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
