Rotary International edit

I invite you for a mediation : you are blanking my researches on Internet about the speeches or conferences given by different known people, allowed to speak at Rotary Clubs.

[1]

A mediation requires that each person is ready to discuss on a rational basis with argument and not a theory to demonstrate about some alleged conservative mouvement or extremist liberal. Clearly this condition isn't satisfied at the moment. Come back with a less POV-pushing attitude and we shall then discuss.--Bombastus 22:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I have deponed an Arbitration request against you [2]
Pierre 22:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
And I rejected it. You can't even discuss on a talk page, there is no point in losing my time in an arbitration. Regards. --Bombastus 15:17, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hi! Please check out my entry at the [3]. Happy wikiEditing! CeeGee 19:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply


Arbitration edit

I inform you that I contacted the users who already met you on the Rotary page and invited them to bring their contribution to the arbitration if need be. Best regards --Bombastus 23:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I is a good idea. Indeed, I think that the point of bringing facts as the tribune given to conservative speakers as Von Braun, Ron Hubbard or conservative (right) politicians is a question of principle. It is not a question of voting, of grouping user for this POV or that POV.
Wiki brings facts to the media, to the people, and the hiding of facts to people is not wiki-compliant. Best regards (as I commonly says - stop with your ironic behaviour please) Pierre 07:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Wiki has rules and your "principles" are not the rules of WP. Please stop disrupting WP to illustrate your point. See WP:POINT.--Bombastus 07:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
it is better you say that to the Arbitration Committee.

You may not blank facts that encounter your own POV, Bombastus. As far as I know, the speakers I mentioned in the "Rotarian famous speakers" list, are not criminals, except in YOUR POV.

What is criminal ? The time-consuming aspect of your multiple edit wars. You are not a person who has THE truth on subjects and the NEED to IMPOSE your views to others.

Pierre 07:35, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I strictly don't care about RI or about what these lecturers did and who they are. I explained my position on the talk page so please read it. The goal of WP isn't to list lecturers or to illustrate your POV. Your lecturers could be far left extremists, that would be the same for me.--Bombastus 07:44, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply


If you do not care about RI, why did you proceed the SAME edit war on both

fr.wiki for Rotary and en.wiki ? If you have far left extremists to place in the list of speakers, feel free to place that in the list. I placed FAMOUS lecturers or speakers that I found.

As far as I know Ron Hubbard is not a political person, Louis Michel is a brillant polician and EEC commissary, and Joseph Davidovits is a brilliant scientist.
Guy Haarsher, my personal philosophy professor, is a brilliant left-engaged Jewish person, a real humanist, but he has no wiki, while it would be OK to redact a wiki for him.
THE PROBLEM is that your POV edit war are time-consuming, as it was against CeeGee, against all right-activists who do not allow opposite opinions to contribute, that your edit wars I say do not allow to US, COMMON WIKIPEDIA USERS, to bring new wikies to the community.
And the sense of my arbitration is to ask a blame for your time-consuming administrative actions
By the way, you argue AFTER your edit war. As usual. As did BridesMill.
Pierre 08:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Please read what I write! I don't care about who you add, making a list of lecturers in itself is 1. not encyclopedic, 2. biased. As a result it must be deleted. That's a point many users already advocated on your user pages. Keep in mind that we are writing an encyclopedy and that it isn't a blog! If you want to convince the world of your theories on Rotary International, open a blog but don't disrupt the encyclopedy ot push your point of view.
I also inform you that I accepted eventually your arbitration request as I consider your stubborn attitude and your unability to cooperate endangers the encyclopedy. As a result, I'll ask for the measures I deem necessary to be taken against you. To that end I invited the users who worked on RI to give their opinion.
Best regards

Deleted article edit

I saw your comment on this article [5] and will be a bit surprise to see that you find only 164 hits. I found 982. I took news about this musician. Why do you think composers wrote for an anomimousmusician. I saw that few composers wrote for him. What about other oboist in the same case. Regards. Nick. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/{83.114.254.18 (talk · contribs) --> -->}|{83.114.254.18 (talk · contribs) --> -->}]] ([[User talk:{83.114.254.18 (talk · contribs) --> -->}|talk]]) 11:50, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

Because yours include pages with the same content. Really different results amount to much less that 1,000 and are closer to 200, mostly the articles he probably wrote himself on wikipedia and posts on guestbooks[6][7] and so forth. It is open self-promotion ([8]) for someone who hasn't done anything of particular interest. I also notice that the composer who allegedly wrote for him had of course no article on WP. But our fame seeking musician wrote it of course. I let you verify the exact notoriety which quite low.--Bombastus 12:36, 20 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please stop edit warring edit

You're on your third revert at Rotary International. See WP:3RR. I've already reported PierreLarcin's IP and I'll report you also if you continue edit warring. Please stop. AndyJones 13:07, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Barrandov logo.gif edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Barrandov logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Re:Translation edit

I'm translating the article on the régimes spéciaux. Jackaranga (talk) 19:46, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

He I see you had found it anyway, se permettrait-on de fouiller dans mon historique ?! :p Jackaranga (talk) 19:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
If you like you can help by proofreading the article now that I have finished the translation. Some parts I cut out because they were a bit POV laden. Hopefully most of the article is factual now. If you do read it and see any POV in it please remove it or tell me. Hopefully it should be OK as I don't have a particularly strong opinion either way. Jackaranga (talk) 20:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply


  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Rotary International. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.   — Jeff G.

Vincent-Marie Viénot de Vaublanc edit

Bonjour J'ai vu sur ta page personnelle que tu es bilingue anglais et français et que tu appartiens au Wikiproject France. Je souhaiterais faire de cet article un featured article à terme sur la wikipédia anglophone malheureusement je ne suis pas parfaitement bilingue en anglais. Il y aurait notamment une relecture à faire et une correction à faire en fonction des recommandations du peer review suivant Talk:Vincent-Marie Viénot, comte de Vaublanc . Es-tu intéressé?, j'attends ta réponse, merci d'avance. Aymeric78 (talk) 00:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

D'accord. En tout les cas je te remercie d'avoir pris le temps de me répondre. cordialement. Aymeric78 (talk) 12:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Herbert Spencer edit

I resent your characterisation of 'spamming'. As I explain here I am simply trying to make a legitimate reference to an important and continuing aspect of Spencer's influence.

If you can suggest ways in which that reference can more effectively be made, or rewrite it to improve the style, and clarity, then I'm delighted. To suppress the reference entirely - when it is both relevant and substantiated - smacks of censorship. Best wishes. Josephus (talk) 23:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Economics census edit

Hello there. Sorry to bother you, but you are (titularly at least) a member of WP:WikiProject Economics, as defined by this category. If you don't know me, I'm a Wikipedia administrator, but an unqualified economist. I enjoy writing about economics, but I'm not very good at it, which is why I would like to support in any way I can the strong body of economists here on Wikipedia. I'm only bothering you because you are probably one of them. Together, I'd like us to establish the future direction of WikiProject Economics, but first, we need to know who we've got to help.

Whatever your area of expertise or level of qualification, if you're interested in helping with the WikiProject (even if only as part of a larger commitment to this wonderful online encyclopedia of ours), would you mind adding your signature to this page? It only takes a second. Thank you.
