my favorite wikipedia quotes " Thanks for reviewing Philippine Native Plants Conservation Society Hi Alternativity, Thanks for reviewing Philippine Native Plants Conservation Society. I really just created the article because I saw the Society red linked in the article you created about Leonard Co. The article about him was quite interesting and well done. I hope I did not step on your toes by starting to create the article about the Society. Please feel free to expand the society article if you are so inclined. I have done a bit of research on the society and will be adding a few more references in the coming days. I do enjoy working in collaboration with others! ciao!!! Carriearchdale (talk) 08:46, 16 June 2014" "(UTC)

Hi Carriearchdale! :D Thanks. :D I have to disagree about the Leonard Co being "well done" at this point because it's only about a tenth of the quality it should be. Hehe. But thank you. :D Thanks for getting to work on the society article. I've got a huge "to create" list still to get to and I'm afraid the society page isn't very high on my priority list yet. So I'm WAY glad someone's working on it. Hm. One suggestion, btw: are you active on Tagalog Wikipedia? Because there's a lot of work that needs doing there, making articles for native Philippine species. Anyway. Thank you for your work. Knowledge is an important weapon in the movement to protect Philippine biodiversity. And every helping hand is a step forward. :D Happy editing! -- Alternativity (talk) 11:29, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Memorable quotes

one of my favorite well written wikipedia quotes

rebuttal I agree with your concern about the burn out on editing. I do not agree that comments on ANI pages should exclude new editors. I also do not agree that that I have significant disregard for BLP. I have done exactly two edits in Ronan Farrow page (the biography is about Ronan, BTW, not Woody), the first edit was supported by an administrator on the BLP page as appropriate, and the second was to precisely respond to an experienced editors request. I have gotten ZERO feedback on any BLP violations except ad-hominem attacks. I am primarily a medical editor who is trying to learn the skills of controversial editing in an area with less importance (and zero importance to me, but I intend to see it through to its logical end, which could be as simple as an experienced editor with a calm voice saying: "bob, do X", which I will instantly). My position is well researched and your accusation is unfounded. As for my returning the favor to Carrie of reading the record and commenting, as we had previously tried to work together in another article. We have some established good faith, with exists broadly within Wikipedia editors, so can hardly be considered bad. I have read the transcript, and gave my opinion. You have chosen to attack the messenger with no assumption of good faith. I assume your good faith in wanting a good encyclopedia, but perhaps you might want to listen and see if there is a good argument being made by Carrie or I, and dispute the content on the basis of balance rather than assumptions. I doubt that you will find two more earnest editors than Carrie or I on Wikipedia, and if you want to attract more earnest editors Wikipedia should find ways to engage each of us on content rather than false accusation, misrepresentation, POV, or what you think our intent is. Wikipedia will die if it cannot find new voices and chooses to descend into a vacuous testosterone pit.Bob the goodwin (talk) 20:57, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
